Praise

Praise

Falling gently from the mountains,
Singing to the winds, in silence – tenderness
Gentling the hopes that enter the spirit,
The ones who let us know – we’re His,
Promised a home in heaven,
Where we’ll always be together –
Forever and ever…

Raining soft on the fondest thoughts,
Melodies so rich with love – compassion
Filling the spirit with a sense of peace,
Offering the moments His greatest gift –
Salvation, the faith to simply believe…

He is the One who makes a way 
Past the doubts, the tears – the enemies
Of grace…

He is the One who reassures the soul
There is more than this, more than a wish –
There is a beautiful beyond our comprehension,
A serenity that soothes away all life’s tension,
There is a miracle that combines joy and peace,
Inspiring a faith that paints the entire heart
In hopefulness…

Pelting the spirit with beautiful prayers,
Inspirations so gentle, so alive,
Feelings flow soft, like the liquid of a tear,
Melting away the darkness, the fear,
With a wisdom that comes alive inside 
The heart who knows – He is the light,
He is the ache, the yearning, the knowing –

Without Him, there is no hope
Without Him, there is no light
Without Him, there is no peace
Without Him, there is no faith

Because He is – I can believe that He is…
The answer to my needs, my dreams,
Everything that stirs up the flames of courage in me,
The burning conscious – alive with His reflection,
His grace filling me with assurance, acceptance,
All I’ll ever need for the know, without a doubt…

Without Him, there is no reason to go on…
Without Him, there is no love to lean upon…
Without Him, there is no joy from knowing the One
Who makes a way for the heart and soul,
A way to experience the wonder beyond words,
The wonderful that comes from being a part of this promise…

Because He is – I will live forever…
Beyond this world, in the eternal – forever
Alive like the One who made me, saved me
And gave me the hope for everlasting life in heaven!

Praise goes up and blessings fall down –
Silencing all doubt, reminding me that, through prayer
Through listening to His word, His spirit –
I can be filled with assurance that He is always with me!
