Emotions 

Riding the waves

Soaring in the clouds

Sinking in the depths

My anchor

Father, keep me steady

Help me walk on water

Eyes on You

No sinking

Take my hand

You're my anchor

Holding me

Keeping me focused 

Keep me steady

If I had not gone through my pain

I wouldn't know how completely He heals

If I hadn't cried those tears 

I wouldn't know He collects them in a bottle

If I hadn't had my heart broken

I wouldn't know how much He loves me

If I hadn't walked the hard roads

I wouldn't know He directs my paths

If I hadn't been in need

I wouldn't know how He provides

I wouldn't trade these lessons for an easier life. 

I have a life so free 

A life so full

See beyond

See beyond 

Beyond the surface

Beyond the physical

To the heart

The soul

So easy to take people at face value 

But never see the value beyond 

Take the time 

Feel the heart 

See the soul

Time never wasted 

If people could see

If people could see the wounds left by their words and actions

If people could see the pieces left behind of a broken heart 

If people could see the tears that have fallen from eyes filled with them

If people could see the soul torn in sorrow 

Maybe they would be more mindful

Maybe they would be more caring

Maybe they would be more loving

Maybe they wouldn't bring the pain

Just be

Just be

Be in the moment

This is the time that matters

Be present

Be loving 

Be aware

Be open

Just be

Don't rush ahead

Time moves fast enough 

Find the joy

Find the beauty

Find the peace

In each moment

Don't miss it

Just be

Heart always searching

Wanting a place to land

Peace

Be still

Covered by Christ's love

Treasured 

Kept safe

Prone to wander

Searching once again

My heart gets weary

Disappointed

And sometimes 

Broken

Back again 

Jesus, keep it

Peace 

Be still

The love I ache for can only come from Him

Empty places filled by His presence 

Soothe my soul

Fill my longings 

I want no one but You
