Like An Eagle
Eagle, born to fly
Born to soar high in the sky
Live like an eagle
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)
...Whispers
Glorious encounters
Hear His tender whispers
Moments of truth and love

...Garden
Well-watered garden
Sustained in the time of drought
Drinking from His waterspout
Well-watered garden
Sustained in the time of famine
Drinking from His fountain

In the field of grace
The wind of His Spirit blows

...Children of God
Dearly loved children
Precious in the Father's sight
His joy and delight
But as many as received Him (Jesus), to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name. (John 1:12)
...Victory Cry
Hear the victory cry
Hold your head up high
Calvary's cross and empty grave
In unison cry the victory
That Jesus won for you and me
Happy Resurrection Sunday!
...The Cross
Hanging on the cross
Christ paid the price for our sins
Proof of God’s great love
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
...Fly, Lovely Dove
You’re free to fly,
Free to soar high in the sky.
Fly toward your destiny,
You have been set free.
Look to Him,
Who causes you to win.
Feel the winds of His grace,
Touching your wings and face.
Hear His songs of love,
As you fly, o lovely dove!
"My dove, my perfect one..." (Song of Sol. 6:9)
...He is Love
When no one listens, He listens
When no one cares, He cares
When no one loves, He loves
He is God, He is love
Call on Him, come to Him
Come home running
He cares, He listens
His loving arms are open
Care to read Luke 15:11-32, "The Parable of the Lost Son"?
...Destiny Cry
Destiny cries aloud in the street of God,
"Talk to me, I'll tell you a mystery."
Destiny cries aloud, waiting on the road,
"Come with me, I'll give you glory."
Destiny cries aloud, waiting patiently,
"Choose me, great will be your victory."
Destiny cries aloud, "Don't you worry,
Though it's hard, by faith it will be easy."
Walk not in the way of the wicked,
Lest you be counted as dead.
Your soul will be their food,
If you don't choose what is good.
Listen to the cry of your destiny,
Crying loudly while waiting patiently,
"Come with me now and choose me,
Enjoy my company unto eternity."
Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." D...
Touch of God
Soft whisper, sweet to my ear
Tender touch touches my heart
Words of comfort and love
Healing, caring touch of God
May the intimate fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
...Free to Walk in My Destiny
I'm free from confusion,
God is my illumination.
I’m free from evil imagination,
He helps me in a difficult situation.
No longer bound by the enemy,
I’m free to walk in my destiny.
God has given me the ability,
To fulfill the dream He has for me.
I will run after God’s plan,
My own plan, I lay down.
I’ll say, "Lord, Your will be done."
"I'll follow Jesus, Your Son."
He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. (Colossians 1:13) It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1)
...Victory
Never fighting FOR victory
Always fighting FROM victory
Facing every life’s situation
As the established champion
In Christ reality - victory. "No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us." (Romans 8:37)
...Do Not Worry
Don’t waste your time worrying
It will never solve anything
Don’t be anxious about a small thing
You don’t know what tomorrow may bring
Be fruitful and multiply
See the birds in the sky
They eat because of His favor
Though they don’t toil nor labor
Increase in every good thing
Don’t be anxious about clothing
Look at the lilies of the field
See how beautiful they are arrayed
He's given you everything good
The animals and plants for your food
He's given you everything you need
Seeds to plant that will surely yield
Believe God and all His promises
Seek His kingdom and righteousness
He will supply your needs in excess
According to His abundant riches
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore d...
Fly Away
I have wings like a dove,
I fly away to find my rest in God.
I have wings like a dove,
I fly away and rest in His love.
Where are those fears?
Where are those worries?
They couldn’t win the fight,
So they vanished from sight.
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
...Swim
Swim in the sea of His grace
Dive into the ocean of His love
Receive the fullness of His grace
Enjoy the vastness of His love
Wave after wave, grace for grace
Let yourself be swept away by the waves
Let them take you to the deep,
To the depths of His love,
To the fullness of His grace in Christ.
Wave after wave, grace for grace
And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. (John 1:16)
...Let Love
Let love heal you
Heal you of your past
Let love help you
Help you to trust
Let love give you
Give you his grace
Let love teach you
Teach you his ways
Let love lead you
Lead you to his plan
Let love make you
Make you a better man
GOD is LOVE. (1 John 4:8)
...The Way
I was believing a lie,
Missing out on life.
Going in the wrong direction,
Having no satisfaction.
Short-lived joy,
Happiness on the surface.
Life with shallow cause,
Leading to great loss.
In despair, I cried to You,
"Is this all there is?"
You took it as Your cue,
To come to my rescue.
You found me, You showed me,
You showed me what's true.
You found me, You told me,
You told me the way is YOU.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life." (John 14:6)

Start Dreaming
Start dreaming
Start building a dream
Bigger than the world
Build it on the Word
Dream a divine dream
Base it on His promises
Forget all your weaknesses
Picture the dream
Spend time with Him
Until the image is clear
Till you’re free from fear
Sure you will never fail
No way the devil can steal
Your dream, God-given
Destined to happen
