HIS GOOD WILL

i can look at the past
in its disaster
i can blame all my sins
on misinformation
i can think that all is lost to time
bad choices
left right turns
bad luck
wrong time
wrong place
and while that may seem true
it can seem oh so true
i know
yes i know
with God
oh with my God
all things yes all things
God works for the good
of those that love Him
according to His purpose
according to His will
i can look through the window shattered
broken wild pieces of shame and regret
i can look at the glass as empty
so in need of being filled
but i know yes i know
i know my God has His purpose
and in that i can rest
in Him i can say
nothing is wasted
nothing is lost
all that the locusts has eaten
He restores He restores
even when i do not understand how
even if i never feel or see it
i know yes i know He works for my good
in His purpose in His will
i am yes my whole life has been

UNSHAKABLE

this joy so unshakable
a smile in a cloud of loss
this peace so unshakable
a prayer in a time of turmoil

so You are Lord
my joy my peace
so You are my Lord
my God my King

this hope so unshakable
a future when nothing is left
this promise You give so unshakable
when no one is faithful

so You are Lord
my hope my promise
so You are my Lord
my Strength my Savior

this truth so unshakable
a rock when all is sand
this life You give so unshakable
a knowing when it is time

so You are Lord
my truth my life
my joy my peace
my hope my promise

yes You are
my Lord my God
my King my Portion
my Creator my Provider
my Friend my Healer
my Everything
