Desert Dance

Desert dance is my desire
as You strip my heart with Holy fire
Unveiled faces cry Your name
as hearts beat Your rhythm drum

Welcomed in this meadow waltz
We strike our heel against the foe
Chains lose their hold- come crashing down
The freedom march has begun

Chiseled true your word is life
Defeating darkness, silencing strife
Waters calm these desert cracks
From dust and ash we rise

Thunderous shouts of victory won
as we worship the Beloved son
Whom breaks the yolk and lifts our heads
Into His arms we run- May our hearts be left undone



Sapphire Light

You wake me up as I look inward
time stands still as my heart keeps beating
tiny petals of hope unfurl their edges
as Sunshine washes in

I breathe as if for the first time
letting go and letting love win
my toes wriggle and I want to dance
I tip my head and give life a chance

A song wraps around my skin
as shame flows out and grace comes in
little pools of freeing drops
mark the path my journey has been

I dare move with power and might
remembering mercy brought me to here
where foot and heart and hands begin
humbly broken outside in

Woven under sapphire light
where eyes and mouth dare shine bright
we form a smile and let laughter out
You teach me God what joy is about

One step forward and onward still
faltering while praying 'Your will be done'
piercing thorns hold Our place
a crown for ashes- my sin erased

For a Moment with You

She's a lonely girl- lost in her silent night- wondering and hoping for the wrong to be right. Tare down her walls- break her in from the cold- her heart opens just for a moment
__
We're gonna sing a song of triumph- as her tears fall down- gonna win this fight with gladness- as the Angels surround

Come on! Lift your head. Come on! Raise your hands.
Shake off the chains and Live.
Come on! Lift your eyes. Come on! raise your voice.
Just look upon His Face.
__
She falls from your arms- her guard in unarmed
But she prays
Everybody know the path I've chosen
Nobody knows how to keep me open...
__
Come on God! Lift her head. Come on! Raise her hands.
Shake off the cold this night.
Lift up her eyes- raise her voice
As we seek - as we Pray
__
She falls from Your arms- her guard is unarmed- as her tears fall down for a moment- with you God- Just for a moment with You.
