With great anticipation
I awaited the day
That my love was going to come and take me home
The first part of my life
Was spent in Massachu
Now Iowa would be where I would roam
With great expectation
We drive those many miles
Knowing God was guiding all the way
Now thirty-eight years later
Our love is still alive
And life keeps getting better day by day
In response to the daily prompt Expectation
All my praise
All my worship
All my heart
To you, oh Lord
All my love
All the glory
All my soul
To you, oh Lord
What a wonder it is
That you love me
When all of creation is yours
What a marvelous thing
Is your grace to me
When you are my King and my Lord
All of my healing
All of my peace
All of my joy
From you, oh Lord
All my deliverance
All of my hope
All of my love
From you, oh Lord
What a marvel it us
That you would bestow
Your mercy on one such as I
I can only cry worthy
Are you of my praise
As I lift up my hands to the sky
As I look up
To the heavens above
I praise you with all of my heart
For you are the one
Who gave me your all
So I could have all that you are
I come to you Lord
With all of my heart
For you are the one that I long for
I adore you, Lord
I come to you Lord
My voice lifted up
To worship your name forever
I adore you, Lord
High and lifted up is your name
High and lifted up is your name
I come to you Lord
With praise on my lips
I honor your name in the highest
I adore you, Lord
I come to you Lord
To thank you again
For all you have done by your mercy
I adore you, Lord
High and lifted up is your name
High and lifted up is your name
I brush my teeth three times a day
In hopes that this will curb decay
Cold water’s not the choice I make
I prefer lukewarm
As I lift my hands in praise
I give my all to lift His name
Regarding Christ, I’m hot all day
And never lukewarm
If you’re lukewarm, He’ll spew you out
If you’re lukewarm, you’ll be kept out
So please make sure you spirit’s hot
Rise above lukewarm

In response to the daily prompt Aware
When you’re feeling sick
And you’re stuck in your bed
You pray but the answer is slow
You wonder if God
Has heard your request
I can honestly say the Lord knows
When trouble surrounds you
And you see no way out
You pray but the answer is slow
As the trouble gets worse
You question His love
I am confident that the Lord knows
He knows every pain, every hurt, every stain
He knows every doubt, every tear
He knows every sorrow and every heartache
He knows every doubt, every fear
Hold onto His promise
Don’t ever let go
Because no matter what comes your way
The Lord knows
When doubt settles in
And you cannot feel God
You pray but the answer is slow
Time passes by you
The days and then weeks
You wonder if God really knows
These are the times
When our faith is tested
This trial will help us to grow
We must trust in Him
And endure to the end
You can be sure the Lord knows
He knows every pain, every hurt, every stain
He knows every doubt, every tear
He knows every sorrow and every heartache
He knows every doubt, every fear
Hold onto His promise
Don’t ever let go
Because no matter what comes your way
The Lord knows
This time of year
One thing is clear
The grass is not lush
The songbirds are hushed
The leaves are a no
The flowers don’t grow
It’s winter and cold has it’s way
This time of year
One thing is clear
I have a Savior
Who loves me forever
His mercy is pure
His promises sure
No matter what kind of weather
In response to the daily prompt Lush
He overcame sickness
So I could be healed
The stripes on His back paid the price
He overcame sorrow
So I could have joy
His suff’ring would more than suffice
He overcame turmoil
So I could have peace
More peace than the world ever knew
He overcame doubt
So I could have faith
I can trust that His word will be true
By the stripes on His back He is victorious
By the thorns in His brow He is glorious
By the nails in His hands
He became Christ the Lamb
He has overcome for all of us
He overcame fear
So that I could have hope
My eternal home was secured
He overcame hate
And gave me His love
A love that is faithful and sure
He’s laid up a crown for me
Heaven’s my destiny
I’ll soon be with Him up there
But until that day
He’s made a way
For me to have victory
By the stripes on His back He’s victorious
By the thorns in His brow He is glorious
By the nails in His hands
He became Christ the Lamb
He has overcome for all of us
I once had stinking thinking
When my head was screwed on wrong
When I got drunk and high on drugs
I thought good things would come
For several years I wandered far
And messed up my own life
But then one day I thought a sec
And opened up my eyes
I couldn’t help but criticize
The mess I’d made so far
I quickly came to realize
That life was one big scar
So I gave my heart to Jesus
And He healed me inside out
Now I have a joy and peace
My life has all worked out
In response to the daily prompt Criticize
