The islands shall see your glory
The wars shall see your might
The nations shall see your beauty
Awestruck at your sight
.
The humble shall see your glory
The pure shall see your face
The oppressed shall see your mercy
The past to be erased
.
The earth shall see your glory
The works of your hand
Creation sings your melody
All across this land
.
Children shall see your glory
And babes speak your praise
Sons and daughters of destiny
Running to win the race
.
And we shall see your glory
As we overcome
Praying breathes of intimacy
Come Lord Jesus come
.
As I watch the hail fall outside our storefront window,
My mind is somewhere outside in the distance somehow.
.
O the places I would go,
And the cool things I would do!
.
Some dreams birth and burst and linger,
Others plague the heart forever.
.
(And I pray that a few would fit inside your master plan,
As I know all things You uphold in the palm of your hand)
.
As I watch the rain fall outside our storefront window,
Your mind is focused on me on the wet earth below.
.
As calm as the ocean sea
The sound washes over me
As healing as the soothing balm
Let the wave come, let it come
As still as the morning sky
It’s gentleness I shall ride
As bright as the closest star
Resonating strings on guitar
Colorful as the autumn leaves
The wind blows her breeze
As deep as the submarine
The stains are made clean
Notes sustained to signify
Worship, sung to glorify
Drawing near to the beauty
Of heaven’s eternity
Closer kneeling before the throne
Before the Father’s very own
Son I bow and wholly adore
I play the very chord
Rest in His faithfulness
That’s all I know to do
Ever pursuing His presence
Drawing near in truth
Ah I see the one I love
I admire with adoration
Captured, focused as a dove
With undivided attention
You wiped away my weariness
You destroy my fears
Break the yoke of heaviness
And vision becomes clear
I release the burdens
That has weighed me down
And I know for certain
You’ll never let me drown
In your house I will be found
Finding myself at home
In my weakness you have come
And called me as your own
Satisfy me today and forever
Satisfy my longing
Always extravagant and clever
To overwhelm my being
Fresh love for today
And tomorrow too
Always here to stay
So faithful and true
I lay myself down at your feet
Waiting just to hear You speak
Every word your lips declare
Is everything I want to hear
So I am hanging on these words
Believing it’ll erase my hurts
Reaching for your living breath
Knowing it will kill my death
Though I fall now and again
Slipping down yet never far
From your always reaching hands
Pulling back my reckless heart
So here I am found at your feet
Dying, longing to hear You speak
Determined to hold the precious gold
Which restores my soul, making me whole
Now I lay down at your feet
Falling ‘sleep into your dream
Sanctified, free and clean
In your presence, so sweet
