One Word

I woke up this morning with this upon my heart.
This is my morning worship to Thee oh God and may others join in this prayer.


There are none in front of Thee
There are none behind Thee
There are none beside Thee

You are One

When the sun rises in the morning
I remember Your mercies are new
When the moon shines in the night
I reflect upon Your love
For Your Son is beautiful
the reflection of the brightness of Your glory
We dare not look upon Your eyes
for You are a consuming fire
Yet your love demands intimacy
drawing us upon every Word
You call upon the morning dew
and we hear Your gentle voice in the Breeze
No language can convey
the sweetness of Your voice

How long will You tarry?
when will You speak again?
Our ears are to the ground
as we lie prostrate to the earth
Is this Your voice we hear
or do we listen for another?
Come oh God of Creation
speak to Your creatures
once again
Just one more word
to get us through the night

For You have said
we will endure unto the end
and thus we call to You
for You are our strength
else we die

To Be a Kid

I want to go cra-zay
get off the grid
let it all hang out
like I was still a kid

none of the worries
none of the pain
none of the junk
that now fills my brain

I want to go jump rope
swing from a tree
slam dunk a do-nut
maybe even in tea

Run my nails down a chalkboard
just for the thrill
use chalk on the sidewalk
and roll down a hill

I want to get lost in the woods
and scream out loud
jump in a fountain
in front of a crowd

Ride my cool bike
and jump a big ramp
make the longest skid mark
proclaim I'm the champ

I will be Superman
and you can be Darth Vader
I can mix and match movies
don't be a hater

You can't find me
when I hide in a tree
I am a Ninja
before you count to three

Dreams are dreams
but I live again
every moment I take time
to play with my children
