In pain You are sovereign still
Your watchful hand keeps me until
You know the battle is all but won
And seeking You in trials means seeking the Son
And seeking the Son
Results in strength and peace
In due time the pain will cease
Not God's fault but He has allowed
Us to lean on Him and not the why or the how
But to praise in all seasons,
Never to blame
When our righteous God is yesterday today and forever the same.
With every breath we praise Him without ceasing
And in our pain we never stop believing
That He is our Healer,
And our supreme health
In mind, body and spirit
He has given us His wealth
So we look to Him instead of our pain
And know that He's with us
In sunshine
And in rain.

Enough!
Enough.
Enough of dragging up the past.
Life's disasters,
Love's misguided mistakes.
I am your resting place.
Enough of the broken dreams,
Impatience busting at the seams
Because you believe
You've got to hurry up
And be better,
Stronger,
More holy,
More grounded
In what you think is 'right'.
You are my delight!
You make Me break out in song.
I've loved you so long!
Can you not see my heart for you?
I'm smiling.
I can see joy residing in those broken faces,
Those tear soaked faces,
I am smiling,
I am the bottler of your tears.
If you just cast your cares,
I'll catch them.
I'll catch you.
Jump,
I'm waiting,
I'll see you through.
I am streams in the desert,
I am your resting place.
Can you see My face now?
Can you feel My embrace?
I am the warm sun that greets you when you wake.
You are not a mistake.
You are cherished and alive.
Not a half life.
Not here just to survive.
In My Grace you have wandered nearer still
But then you ran and hid until,
Until,
Until what?
You felt you weren't good enough for Me?
I set you free!
Come and dance with Me.
I am waiting for that woman,
For that girl.
Come broken,
Come closer,
My love for you will unfurl.
It is not enough to think I'll wait forever,
Though I will.
It is not enough to run and hide
Until...
Until...
Come now, come closer,
Come and understand.
My will for you
Is loving you and your life is in My Hands.
Enough of dragging up the past.
Life's disasters,
Love's misguided mistakes.
I am your resting place.
Enough of the broken dreams,
Impatience busting at the seams
Because you believe
You've got to hurry up
And be better,
Stronger,
More holy,
More grounded
In what you think is 'right'.
You are my delight!
You make Me break out in song.
I've loved you so long!
Can you not see my heart for you?
I'm smiling.
I can see joy residing in those broken faces,
Those tear soaked faces,
I am smiling,
I am the bottler of your tears.
If you just cast your cares,
I'll catch them.
I'll catch you.
