Build a Bridge To You

I’ll build a bridge to be near you.

In Christ I’m new

I’ll lay sweet planks

of love and thanks

I’ll sing to you a special song

my whole life long

sing Psalms to praise

Your mighty ways

I’ll read the Bible every day

I will obey

to You I’ll pray

Let’s talk today

Tiny Treasures

Tiny treasures

planted in my path.

Permit me to perceive

these gifts as gems from you, God;

then utter praise.

Admit you’re the giver

Affirm my faith

You Take My Breath Away

When in the dark of night

I see your starry sky

Your splendor from on high

You take my breath away.

Chorus:

You take my breath away

each and every day

Your amazing ways

inspire my praise,

You take my breath away

When I go for a walk

I hear birds’ melody

Then your voice calls to me

You take my breath away.

Chorus:

You take my breath away

each and every day

Your amazing ways

inspire my praise,

You take my breath away.

When your wind blows my hair

and whispers in the trees

I feel your majesty

You take my breath away.

Chorus:

You take my breath away

each and every day

Your amazing ways

inspire my praise,

You take my breath away.

Your death upon the cross

from sin has set me free

And now your love I see

You take my breath away.

Chorus:

You take my breath away

each and every day.

Your amazing ways

inspire my praise

You take my breath away.

Home Run

Sometimes life’s like a baseball game;

though it may not bring you fame.

Perhaps you’ve been thrown a curve ball

and your back’s up against a wall.

You long to run around each base,

but you have to walk, you can’t race.

In life you can’t stand to go slow.

You don’t want to stop, you must go.

Then there’s that moment you strike out,

all of your abilities you doubt.

No longer do you want to play,

on the bench is the place to stay.

Then you finally hit the mark

and the ball soars out of the park.

You feel this game of life you’ve won

when you hit your golden home run.

A Longing

Home

Sweet Place

Sacred space

Can’t be replaced

Familiar faces

and cherished embraces

Memories galore are stored

within the walls, inside its doors

God’s placed a longing for home in us
