Beauty Speaks, Freedom shouts

The beauty, it speaks to me like no other. Every movement, every definition of every living thing produces longing in my soul. You're sending me your signs of love all day long, but I don't always see it. Your messages to your bride are bold, but we are blind. Open our eyes! We want to see reality. We want to hear the songs of Heaven, to smell the fragrance of glory, to touch the power of miracles, and to taste the sweetness of your presence. Break us beyond this thin veil we live under into the realms we've only imagined and dreamed about. Help us to see the light in our friends' eyes, to receive the peace of an embrace, and to dance like there's no one around. Freedom. Freedom. Freedom! It's growing from a whisper into a war cry! And we are not alone. We are an army. May we stop acting like civilians, denying who we know we were always meant to be! We will carry the banner of your love high...together...for your glory.

Youth Leaders Retreat 3/8/08, New

My heart beats faster
As I'm caught up in the wind of your love.
I can't contain it,
This new fire that burns and lingers
And flows through my veins to the ends of my fingers.
You are doing a new thing.
We can almost hear you sing
As you cover your children with your wings.
I feel your wind swirling through my ears.
I can smell the beauty of your tears.
I can see the wonder of your love.
You are taking us above,
Above all fear and doubt,
For you are what it's all about!
You're taking us up,
Up the mountain,
As your passion holds our hand.
Father, forever we will stand!
