Going down winding roads
A little lost on the way
Forgot, you travel light
and grabbed bag day by day
Now you're in a rut
No tellin' neither from either
Trying to follow street lights
But stars shine so much brighter
Caught at the corner of Pain Lane
and on the side of Rue Broken Heart
A lonely stranger, quiet, quiet roaring eyes sing
Welcome back to the start
Where grace meets your road
Sea of forgetfulness ain't hard to find
Greetings from beginnings
Let me take your bags
Give you a place to rest
Warm the beat inside that hollowed drum
Replace shambled dreams with peace of mind
Welcome back to the start
Such a familiar phenomenon, burning bright
How'd you ignore the wilds of his firey love
With the likeness of a child
You say "You don't understand, I've been here before"
unspoken whispers "No matter, that's what grace is for"
No drying eyes. How can words be so clear
Perfect spoken silence brings broken to an art
Welcome back to the start
Let love meet your road
And the ease of Me is nothing hard to find
Greeting from Beginnings
There's a change of plans
I'll warm the beat inside that hollowed drum
Replace crying out with crying out for Me
Welcome Back to the
You can take in all of me
Leave nothing of you behind, Dance for me
A forever beat, enter Psalm 23
Leave nothing of you behind, Sing for me
All I require is your heart
Leave nothing of you behind, Grow for me
Condition at arrival is my part
Leave nothing of you behind, Breathe for me
Life- breathe for me
Joy- breathe for me
Fullness- breathe for me
Breathe me in
Love- breathe for me
Peace- breathe for me
Goodness- breathe for me
Take. Me. In.
Welcome back to the start
Where my love meets your life
My beat to your heart's not hard to find
Welcome back to the start

Creation's Pains. Say what?
Ok...so... You know how Romans 8: 22 says " For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time". I've read it but it was just kind of like...HELLO!!!!!
Further down in verse 28 it says "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them"....which I have read, and recited, and sang 100x over(You make all things work together for my good)! Yes all of a sudden, it became the most literal, concrete statement to me. (Which it already is...but I'll explain).
I did a Bible study the night before and we were on the subject of how you are meant for something. Basically, you have a destiny and a purpose and desires. God created you with those things.
Think about when you desire or want something so bad. I'll break it down to a person. Say you have an amazing relationship with someone, be it family or whoever, and you haven't seen them in a while. You start to miss them. Your heart becomes so weighted by the desire to see them. It's almost like there's a tugging in your heart saying I just miss them so much I have to see them.
Now, flip it to the other side. The other person is missing you just as bad as you are missing them. Because you have that strong relationship, this person has become a part of you.
Now...let's do the math! Putting these 2 together. Because of your strong relationship with God, you've built these desires for His purpose in you. Those desires are so strong that it is a part of you because of that relationship. It's your heart beat and just as bad as you want, it also wants you. It misses you because it is a part of you. Just as bad as you want to get to your point B, it is being pulled your way (through prayer and the building of your relationship). So ALL of creation (EVERYTHING) is working, and laboring, and pushing to birth you into your destiny/purpose/calling. All things are literally working for your good! All creation is trying to deliver you to the very thing that God created to be a part of you, for you to do.
Just a thought and encouragement so that you know that when you're so tired of being at point A and knowing point B but not how to get there. Be patient because God has all of creation working to push you into your placement and every time you pray and speak it, you pull closer to you, what is already missing you!
Awesome Sauce! God is so great!!!

Unrelenting
Forever love so unrelenting
Merciful and True
You cover me in your grace
as my life is tangled up in you
Your ocean of life surrounding me
The power of your flow
A pure blood covering
And arms that never let go
Never was there a love like this
Such passion and so deep
Consuming me in glorious waves, Where I'm lost
And within the same, made free
As a rushing wind so mightily blows, your voice whispers to my heart
"It is no secret where you can find me" I feel you. Where I go, there you are.
You are the love that's captured me
And made me a new creature, never the same.
I've been broken, molded, and now can't fit
Into any old mold or frame.
Declared a daughter, in Your matchless Name
Merciful and True
You cover me in your grace
as my life is tangled up in you
Your ocean of life surrounding me
The power of your flow
A pure blood covering
And arms that never let go
Never was there a love like this
Such passion and so deep
Consuming me in glorious waves, Where I'm lost
And within the same, made free
As a rushing wind so mightily blows, your voice whispers to my heart
"It is no secret where you can find me" I feel you. Where I go, there you are.
You are the love that's captured me
And made me a new creature, never the same.
I've been broken, molded, and now can't fit
Into any old mold or frame.
Declared a daughter, in Your matchless Name
