Center Stage

This life is not my production,
And I need Your interruption.
I want You at the center,
And all blessings to enter.

This life was written to praise,
Forever and all my days.
Left to my own devices, it's a mess,
I want Your headlines on this press.

I step away from the bright light,
And in Your presence, I delight.
For Your words are always new,
And I seek Your will to do.

Wisdom

Consider the things You do,
It not only affects me, but you.
For in life you must always choose,
What you must keep, what must you loose.

I call out to you, today,
I want you to think and pray.
I want you to see the place you are in,
I want you to know, that you are in sin.

I continue to plead,
For I want you to heed.
The choices we make will hurt,
When we with sin do flirt.

Jesus calls us to remind,
It is only in Him, salvation I find.
Wisdom reminds us to heed,
To think through this life we lead.

Weight of the World

You had the weight of the world on Your back,
You gave all and nothing did You lack.
This weight we could not bear alone,
But You did and by Your blood atone.

When we feel like it is all too much,
We can ask for the Savior's touch.
He told us that He is there to share,
These burdens that we so often bear.

The weight of the cross was on Your back,
You knew that we would fall, and get off track.
You gave Your life, no questions asked,
To speak of You, is what we are tasked.

Your strength far greater than Atlas,
Changing our flesh, so into eternity we can pass.
You have given us a cross to bear,
When we are overwhelmed, You do care.

What Can I Do?

Have we come to make ourselves known?
Have we come to be seen or to be shown?
My life is not my own, but Yours to lead,
And I know that You for my life, did bleed.

What can I do that turns their eyes to You?
Do everything and know that You are never through.
The power by which I live is not my own,
But what is ordered from Your Throne.

Live my life and never turn aside,
And when the world comes on strong,
I will not cower, I will not hide,
Because You are the right amongst the wrong.

Life has been given to me,
And through Christ, I have been set free.
For I once was lost in sin,
And through Christ, I have been born again.
