Hey God
Happy New Year
You and me
It was nice to be with Anna
I cannot concentrate
I cannot have my devotions
It does not matter what great things are going on
Or if I will offend someone
Because that is just a lame excuse
God
I need time with You
Brasil seems to far away
I was there just two weeks ago
But it feels like a lifetime
I talked on the phone
It was nice
It reminded me that I am special
God
Your way is the best
I just want to see it work
I want to see I am making the right choice
Not just believe it
God
You seem close
You love me
And I love you
I want to more
I have these desires
But what happens to them
Day to day kills them slowly
Silently strangling the desire to do right
And wasting my time into nothing
Because even if I do go to Disneyland
Or go on a Cruise
Or anywhere
The best day of my life will never be a day without You
Those days in the hammock
Struggling for strength…
Those were great days
Some of the greatest of my life
Let me make these days count for eternity
Let me walk with you
Don’t let me get lost in the business
Don’t let me get lost in trying to be helpful
My loyalties are first to You God
Let me be faithful
Let me not regret a moment…
GOD I DON’T
I don’t regret last year
Any of it
It was beautiful
I fell many times
I was weak
I was tempted
I tempted others
I sinned
But in the dirt and sweat
I stand in Your strength
I run the race
I lay aside any hindrances
And walk hand in hand with You
Oh my God
My Father
It is Your work
And it is lovely in our sight
I want this time
I need this time
I want to see You work in that too
And in Brasil
And in me
God
My heart is divided too
That is probably why I see it in others
I try on the commonplace life slippers
I slip into a normalcy robe
Enjoy my moment
Until I look over my shoulder
And see time chasing me
My guilt catches me
Hides my face from Your grace
But You come again
You make me white
Pure and innocent
Clean and new
Is it just for me to make messy again
Of will it be different this time
