My Obsession
I seek no sleep,
I need not rest,
my heart and soul,
has become obsessed.
In all I think,
in all I do,
let it draw,
me close to You.

Why Moody?
How can one feel moody?
When they’re resting in the Lord.
They have assurance of heaven.
How can they long for more?

God's My Island
God's my island hideaway.
He keeps danger far from shore.
He places garlands of hosannas,
around my neck for evermore.

Graceful
One may not appear
as beautiful
or as elegant
and in place.
Yet in Christ,
one is blessed,
and perfect,
and truly full of grace.

Understanding It’s Right
Far from my understanding,
are God's ways and commanding.
I may not comprehend,
direction from above,
yet I know it is good,
and based on love.

My Perfection
It take little reflection,
to see my lack of perfection.
Yet because of God's sacrifice,
I'm now made perfect in Christ.

God Hears You
God hears you when you speak,
whether strong or if you're weak.
You may be a pauper or a king,
rank and possessions mean not a thing.
You have equal access,
much as monk or a priest.
Preacher or a sinner,
all are invited to God's feast.
He listens to prayers of all sincere.
His endless love desires you near.
whether strong or if you're weak.

Fear not,
for I am with you;
be not dismayed,
for your God I am;

be not dismayed,
for your God I am;
I will strengthen you,
I will help you,
I will uphold you
with my righteous right hand.
I will help you,
I will uphold you
with my righteous right hand.
All I did to make it rhyme was switch “for I am your God”, to “for your God, I am.”
