Behold

She died today
We knew it was coming
Still that doesn’t make for an easier pain
Everyone prayed, but
nothing seemed to happen
I don’t understand why it turned out this way
So I stood by faith grieving and disillusioned
And I asked the Lord, “What do You have to say?”

And He said, “Behold, I do a new thing.
You’d better hold on because life’s gonna change.
You need to know, I’m all that matters.
It’s time to let go, nothing else stays the same.”

He left today
She didn’t see it coming
with bills left to pay and three kids to raise
He simply walked out and left her broken-hearted
I don’t understand
Life shouldn’t happen this way
She was left alone confused and frustrated
So I asked the Lord, “What do You have to say?”

And He said, “Behold, I do a new thing.
You’d better hold on because life’s gonna change.
You need to know, I’m all that matters.
It’s time to let go, nothing else stays the same.”

Death or destruction
divorce or despair
sooner or later
we all end up there
Expected or sudden
we experience loss
How long we linger
in pain is up to us
A new beginning
awaits us each day
Just ask the Lord
and again He will say

He'll say, “Behold, I do a new thing.
You’d better hold on because life’s gonna change.
You need to know, I’m all that matters.
It’s time to let go, nothing else stays the same.”

In life there’s one thing that’s for certain
We live in a world that won’t last
We’re all chasing the wind and shifting shadows
And God promises - this too will pass.

Wonderland

We’re all busy here in Wonderland
Running in circles here in wonderful Wonderland
Digging in as if we’re staying don’t we understand
We’re all wandering through Wonderland

Well, we fell through a dark hole one day when we were born
And we entered a new world that was not our own
So we journey through the land looking to get back home
We’re all wandering through Wonderland

We meet a lot of crazy characters along the way
And learn of all the crazy things we do from day to day
We’re unsure of where we go, but we’re not here to stay
We’re all wandering through Wonderland

Well one day we’re gonna wake and we’ll be home again
But we’ll remember adventures we thought would never end
So keep learning and exploring – until then
We’re all wandering through Wonderland

We’re all busy here in Wonderland
Running in circles here in wonderful Wonderland
Digging in as if we’re staying don’t we understand
We’re all wandering through Wonderland

Spring

shimmering willows
shedding the dew droplets
as they weep

Glorious display
Intricacies of the meadow
A single blanket

Flow Over Me

May Your peace flow over me
May Your love flow over me
May Your joy flow over me
So to Your people a blessing I will be

May Your compassion flow through me
May Your mercy flow through me
May Your goodness flow through me
So to Your people a blessing I will be

May Your kindness flow over me
May Your rightness flow over me
May Your beauty flow over me
So to Your people a blessing I will be
