Grace is the freedom to stop trying & to start living by trusting.

It's so true, how can we see HIS faithfulness in the midst of all our striving and efforts, and for what anyway, it's all about HIM and HIS love toward us, and His faithfulness to be fully formed in us, if we let go, and let him take the reigns!! Love you loads!!; July 5, 2009 7:33 AM

Let Go Now

Holy Spirit, overshadow me
Take me by the corners of my soul and shake me
What a love, You've been waiting to
Break me wide open to carry Your heart

Oh my Jesus, draw near to me
Take me to the center of the flame, consume me
I surrender to this holy burn
Break me wide open to carry Your heart

All I wanna do is lose myself in You
Lean back in Your arms and just let go
All I wanna do is lose myself in You
Lean back in Your arms and just let go

Let it be to me according to Your Word
Your ways are higher than mine
Let it be to me according to Your Word
Your ways are higher than mine

I let go...Your kingdom come
In my life ...Your will be done

-Kelanie Gloeckler

Responding

Anticipation comes up with the sunrise
You're here again, waiting for me
Relentless love is the rhythm of Your voice, drawing me closer...
I wanna worship 'til Your heart is satisfied
All I am, I give you gladly
Letting my heart overflow to adore You, beautiful Jesus...

Today's another day to obey and surrender
Bending to hear the secret's You breathe
And You delight to see how I respond to each new revelation...
So I'm searching for language to capture Your wonder
Fold You in worship as You consume me
Ev'ry cell of me sings when I see You, beautiful Jesus...

I will not miss this moment to...tell You I love You
You are the song of my life

I'm weak in the heat of Your glance
And I resonate under Your hand
Responding to the One that my heart loves
With the breath that You breathed into me
In the fire of intimacy
Responding to the One that my heart loves

-Kelanie Gloeckler

You Make All Things New

Star of the Morning, Dawn of the Day
Hope on my horizon
Your eyes contain a mystery, I can't look away
'Cause the old in me is dyin'

I'm spinnin' on the wheel under Your control
I was broken but now I'm whole
And everything is changing
You're paintin' my heart like an evening sky
Makin' way for a shining Bride
As we behold Your beauty
Beautiful we will be for You

You make all things new
It's a brand new day to praise You
You make all things new
It's a brand new day to praise you

The beauty of the cross will have its way in me...
The beauty of the cross will have its way in me...

Take my life, I belong to You
Take my life, you make all things new
You make all things new...
The beauty of the cross will have its way in me...

Serenade

I'm leaving a ladder outside my window
The curtains are open wide, the backyard light burns
No sleep for these eyes tonight, anticipation
Holds me in waiting and my spirit stirs

Serenade me, serenade me
Kiss me now with Your love song
Serenade me, serenade me
Dance with me while I'm dreamin'

I'm searching the night air outside my window
For the sweet sound of melody carried up by the wind
And these starry evenings were made for a serenade
I can't wait 'til morning to see You again

Serenade me, serenade me
Kiss me now with Your love song
Serenade me, serenade me
Dance with me while I'm dreamin'

I'll wait up for You, Jesus
I'll wait up for You
Draw near to me, my Beloved

-Kelanie Gloeckler

Pressing On

I did not come to entertain the people in the court
I'm here to please the King, I wanna love on You, Lord
I did not come to camp outside and view You through a haze
I've got to look into Your eyes in the Holy Place

There's no going back to where I've been
'Cause You're in me and I am free from sin

I'm pressing on...
I'm pressing on...
I fix my eyes on the prize, I'm lookin' at You, Jesus
I fix my eyes on the prize, I'm lookin' at You

I did not come to settle for the average or mundane
'Cause the Spirit of Jesus Christ is flowin' in my veins
I did not come to bow down and give in to fear of men
I'll prophesy, sing a new song and dance Your dance
I'm gonna dance Your dance

There's no going back to where I've been
'Cause You're in me and I am free from sin

I'm pressing on...
I'm pressing on...

-Kelanie Gloeckler

I've Seen I AM

I looked into the eyes of a Lion
I felt the courage in His gaze
Heard Him roar my name with passion
As I buried my tears in His mane

I looked into the eyes of a Lamb
I saw Love face to face
I felt Grace destroy my sin
As mercy flowed from His veins

I have seen I AM
Now I know that I am loved
I have seen I AM
Now I know who I AM

I looked into the eyes of a King
Saw the beauty of Holiness
I heard the Voice of Many Waters
As worship poured from my lips

I looked into the eyes of a Savior
I saw Love stronger than death
I kissed the scars that brought me freedom
As I lay my head on His chest

I have seen I AM
Now I know that I am loved
I have seen I AM
Now I know who I AM

I know that I know that I know....

- Jonathan David Helser

Better Than I Know

He wakes up this morning
Knowing where he is
Thought this day would never surface
Sobriety seemed so elusive
A smile breaks through his tears
This is the first time he's known joy in all his years
And he says-

I'm better than I know
I'm better than I ever hoped I'd be
I've traded those grave clothes
The Son has set me free

She's a religious girl
Held captive all her life
She lays her head to rest tonight
For the very first time in all her life
And says-

I'm better than I know
I'm better than I ever hoped I'd be
I've traded those grave clothes
The Son has set me free

My striving has ceased
'Cause I am at peace with my Maker
I say-

I'm better than I know
I'm better than I ever hoped I'd be
I've traded those grave clothes
The Son has set me free

You're To Die For

She walks around with the smile
On her face turned upside down
In this place of disgrace
She looks up to the sky and asks this question
"What are your thoughts about me?"
All she could hear were these words of love
Whispered in her ear

You're to die for
Paid the price for
All you cry for-woohoohoo
And all you strive for
Came to your door
The day that I stepped in
You're to die for

He walks around with the frown
On his face turned upside down
In this place of grace
He lays back in his easy chair and sighs
Life is great with your mistakes wiped away
All he could hear were these words of love
Whispered in his ear

You're to die for
Paid the price for
All you cry for-woohoohoo
And all you strive for
Came to your door
The day that I stepped in
You're to die for

All I can hear are these words of love
Ringing in my ears...
You're to die for

-Sagefool

Unfailing Love

You have my heart
And I am yours forever
You are my strength
God of Grace and power

Everything You hold in Your hand
Still You make time for me
I can't understand

Praise You, God of earth and sky
How beautiful is Your unfailing Love, unfailing Love
And You never change, God You remain
The Holy One and my unfailing Love, unfailing Love

You are my Rock
The One I hold on to
You are my Song
And I sing to You

Praise you, God of earth and sky
How beautiful is Your unfailing Love, unfailing Love
And You never change, God You remain
The Holy One and my unfailing Love, unfailing Love

~ Chris Tomlin

2 Corinthians 5:14-21

For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again.
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view.Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone , the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: be reconciled to God. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
