True North


I Need Thee
Annie S Hawks

I need Thee every hour,
most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine, 
can peace afford..

I need Thee 
I need Thee
Every hour, I need Thee
Bless me now my Saviour
I come to Thee

I need Thee every hour
teach me Thy will; 
And Thy rich promises in me fulfill

***

`The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
He delights in every detail of their lives.
Though they stumble, they will never fall,
for the Lord holds them by the hand.

Psalm 37:23-24

Inhale


 Breathe in me
Michael W.Smith

`You breathe in me 
and I'm alive
with the power of Your holiness
You breathe in me 
and You revive
feelings in my soul that I had laid to rest'

`But thanks be to God, who in Christ
always leads us in triumphal procession
and through us, spreads in every place the fragrance that 
comes from knowing Him`

2 Corinthians 2:15

Ever Lasting


`If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy
the only logical explanation is that I was made for 
another world'

`So we fix our eyes not on what is seen 
but on what is unseen, for what is seen is temporary 
but what is unseen is eternal'

Dance

Free
Ginny Owens

..Fear of coming out of my shell
too many things I can't do too well 
Afraid I'll try real hard and I'll fail-
this is how it's been
Till the day You pounded on my hearts door
and You shouted joyfully;

"You're not a slave any more!
You're free to dance - forget about your two left feet!
You're free to sing - even joyful noise is music to Me
free to love 
'cause, I've given you my love and it's made you free"
.. 
My heart can not understand - why You'd accept me as I am 
But You say - You've always had a plan and that's all I need to know.
So when I'm consumed by what the world will say
it's then Your singing to me, as You remove my chains:

"Your free to dance - 
Forget about your two left feet!
You're free to sing - even joyful noise is music to Me..
free from worry
free from envy and denial 
free to live, free to give
free to smile
cause, I have set you free"

Legacy


Yesterday morning, as I took the photo of this amazing moon at sunrise,
my neighbour was getting into his car, to go to work. 
After marvelling at the moon,
he said to me `wow, you must have a really good lens on that camera?'
and I said `Nope, but how can I not take a photo? - we are so blessed!'

.. as unequipped as I might be, I can not help, but speak of His goodness..

Be blessed!!

`For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.(v.13)
But how are they to call on one whom they have not believed? 
And how are they to believe in one, whom they have never heard?
and how are they to hear without someone to proclaim Him?(v.14)
And how are they to proclaim Him unless they are sent?
As it is written:
"How beautiful are the feet that bring good news!"(v.15)
..So faith comes from what is heard, 
and what is heard comes from the word of Christ.(v.17)
Romans 10:13

Legacy
Nicole Nordeman

..I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love?
Did I point to You enough to make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering -
A child of mercy and grace
who blessed Your name - unapologetically
& Leave that kind of legacy

Not "well travelled or well read"
not  "well-to-do or well bred"
I just want to hear, instead,
"Well done! 
Good and Faithful one"

Invitation


You Invite Me In
Meredith Andrews

..How can this be
a love so unfailing
reached down and lifted me
from ashes, to beauty
 You invite me in
doesn't matter who I've been
Your arms are opened wide
pulling me to Your side

Now I am walking away from the life I once knew
and running into Your grace
that covers my shame
again and again
I find my life in You 

 You invite us in
doesn't matter who we've been
Your arms are open wide 
There's nothing left to hide..
Your arms are open wide
pulling us to Your side
