Open Hand-RC 1/4/08

"Jesus!" We cry out your name.
When there's nothing left, there is you.
You hear our cries we raise to you.
You see our undying passion,
And you beckon us to take your hand.
And now we run, hand in hand
As you take us somewhere
Where you will show us
Secrets little known to man
That you've always longed to share.
You're looking for the true sons, the true daughters.
I don't know what you've found in me,
But I know there's a reason you've set me free,
And it's beyond me.
I'm surrounded by your heart of love.
It feels like a suction, like an ocean.
It feels like goosebumps, like a drum beating to awaken,
To awaken the life inside we never knew.
And we don't know what to do,
For we are overtaken,
Our very being has been shaken
By God Himself, who became a man
To show us the kind of life we could have
If we'd only hear the unheard sound of Heaven
And take His open hand.

Kneeling Here-Revival Culture 1/4/08

I kneel here, fallen at your feet, letting my tears of pain and desperation fall gently on the earth. But you bend down and take my face in your hands. You look into my shamed eyes and tell me the truth. "I have not forgotten you!" Then you begin to laugh, and I with you, as your sweet breath washes over me and makes everything new. The love in your eyes, in your face, is indescribable in every way. I can see how you long for your children to be free--for every one to be yours. This is why your heart beats. This is why when you look at us it's only your Son you see. Give me your heart, too, for I only long for the truth. You are the truth. You are love. The truth is love. This love has no match, and it's one only you can dispatch.
