Gone

Gone are the days of sadness
My emptiness now filled
Peace lays bare my heart
To see my God’s mercy spilled

Honesty is now the norm
Who I am is good enough
Friends are deep and talk is real
My life with sweetness is now filled up

Confirm my love to all I know
That bond of brotherhood so strong
Loyalty is precious and given to some
God’s spirit within will never be gone

Decision

I see the light shining brightly ahead
Gone is the fear, the hurt has fled
God’s joy within wells up high
To speak the truth, as an eagle fly

Move ahead with the truth you know
Seeds are sown, to the devil a heavy blow
When that moment of truth finally arrives
Step through that door, don’t believe his lies

God’s voice reveals His will within
Action is taken, not what could have been
His presence now burns within your heart
Confirming His love will never depart

A new vision is set to love and heal
Compassion moves your heart to truly feel
Give, and give some more
Look to the bema, God’s rewards instore

A decision to stand, mighty and true
To speak God’s word makes everything new
With grace and mercy in abundant supply
Bask in God’s freedom and reach for the sky

The Masterpiece

Given the truth I need
I open my mouth to speak
Believing is the title deed
The words that come is what they seek

As sons we stand righteous and tall
Our sins are forgiven as peace is found
We serve a banquet to be received by all
Stand clear as truth rings a melodious sound

Our weakness allows our God to prove
Strength comes from His mighty arm
We walk with confidence finding the groove
A Man of God sparks the Devil’s alarm

The fellowship is sweet with those who care
We stand together like-minded are we
We live dynamically with style and flare
As God’s masterpiece unfolds for all to see

Promises

Do we trust our God? Are His promises true?
I question my lot when I’ve claimed a few.
The results aren’t there when I expect them to be.
Did the devil succeed; maybe I’m too blind to see.

Is it me O Lord that has failed to believe?
Your deliverance and guidance I want to receive.
I have heard that you cannot begin to lie.
But the results I see make me want to sigh.

The times you have failed I see not one.
My confidence builds knowing I am your son.
Your word rings true as I hear it taught.
My heart is pricked as the battle is fought.

My mind races to blame but joy fills my thoughts
Your faithfulness continues the devil takes his shots.
I ask your forgiveness for my foolish mistake.
Accusing my God what more could I take.

Eternity will show His sweet love has won.
Patience, a virtue you have learned my son.
Rise up today and see His promise unfold.
The integrity of His word, as pure as gold.

The Household

We have lost our way and everything’s strange
Where is our connection and how do we change?
We feel all alone, even in a crowd
We are afraid to ask, we’re much too proud

Let down your guard and let people see
No one’s perfect and neither are we
Honesty lets down walls we hold so high
Our cocoon is a prison, speak up - don’t be shy

The household is fruitful as we stand
A place of safety and a helping hand
Our hearts are open to the love we share
The mighty amoung us bring healing and care

They give and they minister, great power to impart
Received with meekness the sharing to start
Spiritual life from their heart is eagerly believed
They see with God’s eyes, sweet unity achieved

As we grow in respect, looking beyond the sin
We see in each other the Christ within
As brothers and sisters we come to the light
With God’s spirit within we stand in the fight

As we teach each other, all our needs are met
We have the same Father - Eternity is set
Exceeding joy from our Father above
Gives us great strength as we stand in love

The Song in our Hearts

God understands the core of our being
He sees a gemstone of purity, strong and clear
Filled with His wisdom we speak
Filled with His love we embrace, no need to to fear

We are powerful beyond what we can conceive
God has created us in His image and given us life
He speaks, comforting our hearts, leading us with peace
As the opportunity unfolds we speak His word, ending the strife

The world is waiting desperately for the sons of God
The sword we weild cuts to the reality of life for which they long
The fog is clearing and the image is clear
A calling and purpose so mighty our heart rejoices in song

Ed Brockman

Filled

Life’s so fresh knowing the one true God
Giving and healing a vision to applaude
Sweetness to the soul and fulfillment to the heart
God called us from darkness and set us apart

Fill life’s cup to the brim the overflowing to begin
God’s power manifested from the spirit within
Believing and walking seeing wonders and signs
The joy He gives is as the fruit of the vine

Times of refreshing drinking in His essence
A sustaining refuge filled with His presence
A heart to serve from the abundance He gives
The household edified the mystery lives
