Looking to heavens
Counting tiny stars
Vast universe speaks
Lifting faith’s crossbar
Seeking God’s mercy
Searching for one sign
Bethlehem stable
Trusting His design
Unleashing His plan
Placing feet on rock
Saved from sinking sand
Joining Savior’s flock
Praying every hour
Walking toward grace
Calvary’s cross weeps
Darkening hope’s place
Counting just one star
Praising light from God
Empty tomb proclaims
Filling faith’s seedpod

Rebels and sinners
Destroying mankind
Forsaking our Lord
Always running blind
Evil filled with sin
Facing God’s high court
Shamming His guidance
Always falling short
His wrath pouring out
Avenging life’s foes
Consuming darkness
Always Father knows
Zion falls empty
Trampling God no more
Heeding to listen
Always grace to pour
Savior born on earth
Wielding Gospel’s might
Sharing His mercy
Always Christ’s daylight
From Isaiah 1:18: “Come now, let us argue it out, says the Lord: If your sins are like scarlet, will they become like snow? If they are red like crimson, will they become like wool?”

Darkness cannot hide from His light
Our merciful God, filled with might
Walking above His creation, God choreographs
From early morning to eventual nightfall
Climbing to mountaintops, above life’s battleground
With every step, God’s always present
Witnessing just how far we’ve come
Every victory is earned through Him
We carry scars from numerous struggles
Our hearts always feel God’s presence
Receiving joy-filled Grace, always free
Truly, we never feel left alone
Almighty God comes in three persons
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit alive
Pure, perfect, faithful, and with love
God’s creation reflects His Holy plan
God sends a champion, His Son
From a cruel Cross, comes love
A dark, empty tomb brings hope
Mercy sends love in Jesus Christ
Coming to Christ, dead in sin
Christ’s eternal love washes over us
Releasing us from shackles of sin
We are redeemed, forever set free
Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior
Our new life begins through Him
Resurrection’s light, Christ has our backs
His endless love walks with us

Living in God’s Kingdom
Providing all things
Sharing His steadfast peace
Grace forever springs
Healing our tattered souls
Witnessing our plight
Stirring up lasting faith
Eternity’s light
Filling hearts with mercy
Kindling each sunrise
Soaring on eagle’s wings
Glory in God’s eyes
Casting darkness aside
Saving every heart
Loving each child of God
New life now restarts
Blessing with His goodness
Hearing our sad cries
Raising us up in Christ

Life’s stumbles and missteps
Seeing failure once more
Judging ourselves harshly
Father brings us ashore
Agony breathes again
Grabbing mercy’s lifeline
Lifting us up with grace
Anchored to Father’s vine
Evil tells us, stay down
Pushing through, comes His love
Pulling always forward
Father’s glory above
Faith feeds on righteousness
Taking up Savior’s cross
Believing in His Word
Father’s love comes across
Justice removes darkness
Marching to heaven’s beat
Singing hymns of praises
Joy sails with Father’s fleet

Haunting landscape of needs
Darkness, breathless with fear
Back streets can never hide
Overflowing with tears
Facing hunger-filled void
Shadows filled with man’s greed
Overburdened labors
Breathing amongst ragweed
Walking with heart of pain
Emptiness without dreams
Thirst waiting to be quenched
Beholding mercy’s stream
Hearing sorrowful cries
Clamorous, selfish strife
Voice speaking, Son of God
Rising above each life
Flowing freshness of grace
Well of Living Water
Each heart again restored
Forming life’s breakwater
From John 14:1-2: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me. In My Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?”
