His songs sound like the sky sometimes looks
Phil's Nephews singing their favorite "Uncle Phil song":
Close my eyes, I’m trying to listen
'Cause it’s been so long since I’ve heard you speak
Send your love, cover over the distance
Between You and me
Oh how long must I wait for my love
'Cause I need You, oh I need You
My heart is bursting and breaking apart
For my love
Come on and blind my eyes, I’m looking to heaven
Holding all Your promises against my chest
I offer up the life I’ve been given
Till my last breath
Oh how long must I wait for my love
'Cause I need You, oh I need You
My heart is bursting and breaking apart
For my love
Your coming is as sure as the sun is rising
Here comes the day it’s breaking in my heart
Your children are running to you
Your coming is as sure as the sun is rising
Here comes the day it’s breaking in my heart
Your children are running to you
Oh how long must I wait for my love
'Cause I need You, oh I need You
My heart is bursting and breaking apart
For my love

Keep it coming...
Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby you're the best
I wasn't looking but somehow you found me
It tried to hide from your love light
But like heaven above me
The spy who loved me
Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight
And nobody does it better
Though sometimes I wish someone could
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Why'd you have to be so good?
The way that you hold me
Whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from running
But just keep it coming
How'd you learn to do the things you do?
Oh and nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, baby, darlin' you're the best
-Carole Bayer Sager

Let the truth break
Veins that I can trace
Pull my heart away
From love I long to taste
Why do I run away
When I come face to face
With anything I need?
But I am so afraid
If I keep hoping
There will come a day
When my heart is open
That you will walk away
Like you were never there
And I don't know all the truth from the lying
But I know that I need you 'cause I am dying
From being held by hell in this cell of blinding fear
Libera, libera, libera me
From this dark dream to a life stream
Libera, libera, libera me
From this bruised soul living half whole
Libera, libera, libera me
I know there is a place
Free from my borders
Before I turn this grace
Into disorder
I've got to find a way
Out of this chaos
And I don't know all the truth from the lying
But I know that I need you 'cause I am dying
From being held by hell in this cell of blinding fear
Libera, libera, libera me
From this dark dream
To a life stream
Libera, libera, libera me
From this bruised soul
Living half whole
Libera, libera, libera me
Let the truth break
What my fears make
Libera, libera, libera me
From this dark dream
To a life stream
Libera, libera, libera me

Using God's heart as a crawl space...
A voice is on the wind
It calls me further in
I’m heading deeper into Your heart
Your mark is on my chest
My sails filled with your breath
You guide me by the light of the stars
I’m sailing on a ship that’s bound for life
I wrestle with the wind against the tide
I leave it all behind to reach for more
I’m sailing on to Your golden shore
Though skies go blue to grey
And I’m thrown from wave to wave
You still will hear these lungs singing hard
With every storm I face
I'll find a greater grace
That pulls me deeper into Your heart
I’m sailing on a ship that’s bound for life
I wrestle with the wind against the tide
I leave it all behind to reach for more
I’m sailing on to where the water’s running sweet and bright
The sun is rising in the eastern sky
I leave it all behind to reach for more
I’m sailing on to Your golden shore
-from "Sailing on a Ship" by Phil Wickham

A good man certainly is hard to find...
The true measure of a man’s integrity is not what he will do, but rather what he won’t do.

I feel prone to wander
"Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar." (Psalm 118:27.)
Is not this altar inviting thee? Shall we not ask to be bound to it, that we may never be able to start back from our attitude of consecration? There are times when life is full of roseate light, and we choose the Cross; at other times, when the sky is grey, we shrink from it. It is well to be bound.
Wilt Thou bind us, most blessed Spirit, and enamor us with the Cross, and let us never leave it? Bind us with the scarlet cord of redemption, and the golden cord of love, and the silver cord of Advent-hope, so we will not go back from it, or wish for another lot than to be the humble partners with our Lord in His pain and sorrow!
The horns of the altar invite thee. Wilt thou come? Wilt thou dwell ever in a spirit of resigned humility, and give thyself wholly to the Lord?--Selected (from Streams in the Desert)

It's gonna take me a little more time...
SUNRISE
Brandon Heath, Dan Muckala, Nate Campany
You wanna sound off but you can't find the words to
Nothin' makes sense in the way that it used to
Can't find the plus in the positive thinking
The well's run dry and you're not done drinking
Clouds start comin' and the sky will fall
Clock stares back from the bedroom wall
Now you're breathin' just to make it through the night
All you need is a sunrise
Just a moment of dawn
If you're lost in the twilight
Close your eyes and move on
When you're tired in the waiting
Even though it's gonna take you
A little more time
Just a little more time the sun's gonna find you
Holding your days like a stack of paper
Then you're chasing the wind as the pages scatter
You can save a few but you can't get 'em all back
So get out fast with your heart in tact
Find yourself on the very edge
Lying awake in an empty bed
Now you're breathin' just to make it thru the night
All you need is a sunrise
Just a moment of dawn
If you're lost in the twilight
Close your eyes and move on
When you're tired in the waiting
Even though it's gonna take you
A little more time
Just a little more time the sun's gonna find you
