I was looking for Joy
And I found it in You

I was looking for Freedom
And I found it in You

I was looking for Forgiveness
And I found it in You

I was looking for Hope
And I found it in You

I was looking for Acceptance
And I found it in You

I was looking for Truth
And I found it in You

I was looking for Faith
And I found it in You

I was looking for Love
And I found it in You

I was looking for Something
I was looking for Everything

Little did I know all I wanted was You

What Are You Looking For?

Your Love is incomparable
Your Sacrifice unforgettable
Your Truth undeniable

It’s because of You I can now breath
It’s because of You I am truly free
It’s because of You I now see clear

No one fills me the way You do
For that space is reserved only for You

No greater gift do I have than to have You in my life
Now my greatest desire is to honor You with all I got

Thank You for all that:
You Did
Are Doing
And Will Do

Now my life has become a total dedication to You!

A love that wasn’t forced on me
But one I couldn’t fight off
A unique love that responded
To a desperation call

Everyday I will cling
To this special True Love
Let me stay in love with You forever
Become ruler of my heart

something more for my soul and spirit

Lord give me wings to fly, to elevate and soar

I want to be above, to see my past as a distant world

teach me your ways, never let me go

te canto

I worship you with all of my being, take my heart

Lord it is all yours

bound by these chains

let your light break through

free me from this life

the only way out I know is through you

let your light guide me to my destination

let your light shine through all my darkness

make me whole again

all I can see is the dark blue taking over me

I seek only for your forgivness, to be wrapped up in your infinite mercy and grace

once again

pull me out of the depths of my sin, anger and rage

this flesh and bones desire nothing, but my spirit can’t hold back to find you

save me

where I keep my loose change

where I keep what’s not important

where I place what I will forget

For You didn’t hide me

Or forget about me

Instead You gave up Your son

To die a humiliating and painful death

You didn’t care about all that I had done

You took me in and weren’t ashamed

So why should I carry my nice expensive purse

and my fancy watch for all to see

but place You in my pocket

As if you weren’t someone of greater worth

Now I refuse to deny You

I will not doubt of Your great love’s power

or ever put You in my pocket

where no one can see

That You are the reason why now I am free

No! You belong in a high place

For all to see

Your beauty, Your love and Your Majesty

So every morning and every day I have breath

‘Till the day I die

‘Till the very end

I will sing You praises and speak Your name

I will walk with You and love You

I will let everyone see You through me

I will place You in my heart

That is where You belong

My God, My King and Master
‘Till the day I die
‘Till the very end

So far from Him

So near to myself

It’s not the way it’s suppose to be

I’m all alone and so afraid

~*~*~*~*~*~

Nowhere insight I see Him

So where do I go

To who do I turn to

If only myself I see

~*~*~*~*~*~

Now how can I turn around

How can He take me back

If  I’ve pushed Him away time and time again

And for a moment I catch a glimpse

~*~*~*~*~*~

Of  the one who gave it all for me

The one who looks for me day & night

Not caring where I’m at

Nor caring who I’ve become

~*~*~*~*~*~

But wanting to hold me so tight

Telling me it will be alright, no matter what

And all He wants do is love me and

Share all He has for me

~*~*~*~*~*~

So now I know

Now I understand

Who I am and

Where I stand

~*~*~*~*~*~

His love for me is so deep

All I can do is be still

To let him be and

Work in me

~*~*~*~*~*~

Now that I’ve been renewed

All I see is Christ in me

My comfort, my refuge, my strength has returned

And all I can say is what about yours

A Place where we could always meet.

A Place where you showed me what true Love was all about.

A place just for You and I.

***

Many times I’ve tried to run away from this Place.

I thought about having my own space,

But time after time, I would find myself here.

I can’t escape it; I can’t run from it.

***

So here I am again.

At the Place You made for us.

The first time You gave Your all,

Now it is me who is giving up my all!

***

I don’t wanna run anymore;

I’m tired of running away.

Now I just wanna be here with You.

***

This place where it seems cold and dark,

On top of a hill where an old rugged Cross lies.

It took me a while too see beyond the Pain.

Now I can see the beauty of the Cross.

***

It was here where Salvation and Deliverance rang out.

The day we met here, I was forever changed.

You paid the price to set me free,

You changed my disgrace into grace.

***

So back at the Place you made for us to meet,

I can no longer do things my way.

I submit to Your ways. Live in me; live through me.

***

Everyday as I come back to the Place,

I will always remember that it was because of You

That I now have access here.

***

No matter what’s happening around me

Or where I am in life,

I know now I can always meet you here,

The Place you made just for You and I.
