SO MUCH MORE

You are my wounding

You are my healing
You are the cost and the price
You got me reeling
From this imagining
Everything You are Lord
Everything You are
You are the beginning
You are the end
You are the Everlasting
You are the light
That lights my path
You got me thinking
I am so very glad

I am Yours

How grace must wound
Before it heals
How mercy must find you
In the place you can receive it
How love will lift you
From the high place of your pride
You are the first
You are the last
You are the Prince of Peace
That reigns in my heart
You are the Almighty
You are the whisper in the storm
You are the thunder
That peels back the storm
O Lord You are
The I AM
The Jealous God
Who wants me for Himself
You are Lord You are
Yes You are
And You are so much more

CARDS AND PICTURES

Every card I have kept
From times that people connected
In marriage
In birth
In death
Time has its way
With everyone I know
Time has its way
In everything we are
Every picture taken
Freezes a moment
Stills a time
In memory
In forgetting who
In innocence
In wishing one could
Never have been there
This suitcase
This box
This corner of the drawer
Can hold a life
Can hold dreams
Can hold regrets
In every card kept
In every picture taken
In every line written
Of everybody’s life
Time just moves on
Leaving behind the things
Once so important
One had to write about it
One had to snap a shot of it
One had to hold on to it
In every card kept
In every picture taken
In every life lived
