I Have a Plan for You

I have a plan for you
Beyond the pit where your joys fall flat
Still, sounds of praise cry out, above the noise
I have a place for you
Rooted deeper than the slippery slope
You find yourself gripping without hope
I call you Lovely
Even when you believe you are nothing
Wrapped in scarlet scars for the taking
I am equipping
In the greatest thing you call chaos
Freedom comes in the letting go of
I am Alive
Even in the slivers of dreams
Which unravel and twist into defeat
I am reworking
Molding the remnants of what you surrender
Reaching in, exchanging thorns for crowns
I am Greater
Than the lies and stones thrown to harm
Wounding and marring what is Mine
I come to release
The chains of torment bound round your neck
My yolk is lighter, you are a fighter
I promise you
That I will full-fill in you My desire
Though the season of trial is long
I will accomplish
The purpose I made you for, Beloved
Jewel of Glory is your name
I am your warrior
Against the deepest darkest pull
Towards all that is emptiness
I am your God
For you are my child
Arise, as I call you Precious
Come, give my arms your burdens

Where Love Knows Me Best

I found grace and humble my pride
Where fear grips and holds my heart in
Turning aside anger I choose mercy
Over again I pray 'let love win'

Beyond the layers of hurting wounds
Where stones of defeat erect walls within
Underneath the transparent need to hope
This fragile woman walks away from sin

I bid each step birth a greater space
Between the alluring whiles of Satan's hold
To where threads of strength remain true
Proclaiming over me a victory bold

I dare turn this walk into a run
Lifting my head and opening my heart
Sifting and sorting away the mire
That threatens to rob this new days start

With gleeful face and dainty toes
My hands outstretch to Papa's chest
I awaken within with each tiny step
And breathe free-
Where Love knows me best
