In the stillness of the night
I sense Your presence.
The drifting breeze
whispers of Your love.
I ponder Your greatness,
the magnificence of Your being
and I am overwhelmed.
I search the stars
with wondering eyes
and realize
how truly powerful You are.
You are without equal
You are God.
The moon shines brightly,
a reflection of the sun.
In that I see Your intentions
for our lives.
We are to reflect Your Son
as brightly as we can.
You can do all things,
there is no limit to Your majesty
and yet, You love us.
How wonderful a gift that is.
The coolness of the air
reminds me of the refreshing Spirit
You send to minister
and watch over us.
We are so important to You
that You guide us each day
leading us to people
who need Your love.
How infinite is Your wisdom -
Its vastness far exceeds
the outermost limits
of the universe.
You are a God for all ages,
without boundaries,
able to reach across time and space
to touch each one of us.
You are love personified.
You keep us safe in Your hand
and protect us from evil.
I can't understand why You love us,
but I thank You for it.
What splendor is Yours, Lord.
I can only glimpse portions
of Your truth
and I am staggered.
How worthy You are
of our praise.

I am drawn to You, Lord,
as a moth to a flame.
The light of Your love
    shines brightly,
an attraction I can't ignore.
I strive for it,
    hungering to reach Your fire.
Lord,
just like the moth,
I know Your fire will consume me;
Yet
unlike the moth,
I will not die.
Your holy fire will burn away
    the imperfect,
leaving only the perfect.
I will be made whole
    in Your sight.

"For our God is a consuming fire." ~ Hebrews 12:29

When I least expected it,
You came
to set me free.
I was trapped in a cage
of my own making
and the walls were closing in.
You saw my misery
and the hopelessness
of my life.
Your love for me
overflowed
and with compassion
in Your heart
You came for me
when I knew You not.

Precious love, joy beyond compare!
My Savior came when no one else was there.
Redeemed, I stand before His glorious throne,
Singing praise to Jesus Christ alone!
