Thin Black Road
There's a thin black road
I have traveled many times.
It leads to peace
In so many ways.
It's kind of hard to describe
For the road's oft unclear.
It unfolds to me
Like a lovely gift
One word at a time.
Then, music fills in the gaps,
Making worries fade away,
As unexplainable peace pours in.
There's a thin black road
It leads me to peace.
When good or ill tidings come
To threaten my equilibrium,
I will travel that road
And return to...

Just Like You
You're my hope. You're my hero.
You know all I am and what I can be.
Take this hard heart and make it like yours.
Holy Father, I need your heart.
You're my heart. You're my hero.
Let my life reflect your love.
Give me eyes to see past walls.
Give me ears to hear heart cries.
Give me hands that heal in your name.
O Holy Father, I want to be just like you.
You're my Father. You're my hero.
May my spirit walk with you.
Train my mind to...

As I walked around on this gorgeous day,
I reflected on my life and then prayed,
"Father God, thank you for being You.
Thank you too for the many blessings...
I would try to count them,
But they are countless.
Thank you for being holy...
All good things in life reflect You..."
At that moment I realized ...
You and I, we were made
To praise His name.
You and I, we were made
To love and be loved.
You and I, we were made
To live, learn, grow, and pray.
You...

My Champion
You are Lord in Heaven
Lord on this Earth.
Master and Maker,
King and Creator,
Father of all things,
And lover of my soul.
I have an enemy.
He knows how to hurt me.
He knows what I want to hear.
He knows how to twist my wants,
Make me think they're needs.
Help me drown out his voice.
Lord, be my victory,
Be my champion.
Show me Your glory.
Make me part of your story
I want to know You better.
Open my ears, flood my mind.
Teach my heart...
