"Raise A Glass"

Here's to the King who sits on the throne
In Whose love and mercy we trust alone!
Glory to our God above!
Thank you Lord for glorious love!

"Leaning In Close"

Mysteries of the heart
Secrets spoken in part
Hopes and fears
Through all my many years
Whisp'ring in God's ear

Ecstasies and envies
Undisclosed jealousies
Exposed truth of me
Naked honesty
Whisp'ring in God's ear

Revealed myself
No pride I've left
Took a hammer to that wall
He already sees it all
Whisp'ring in God's ear

"Waiting"

Bump on a log
Tick on a dog
Wart on a frog
Mud on a hog
Just waiting

Bus is quite late
Food not on plate
A minute past eight
Rust on a gate
Just waiting

Growing your hair
Sitting in a chair
Hibernating bear
Old underwear
Just waiting

Learn from one
That Love has come
Your sins undone
Now serve someone
Trust. Waiting.

"I Get High"

I get high
When I tell my neighbors of You
I get high
When I tell the world I love You

Jesus Lord
I hear Your Spirit
And speak Your Word

I get low
When I compare me to Your glory
But I get high
When I tell someone Your story

"Mother In Faith"

She smiles at me from the front row
Listening with rapt attention to each of my words
Beaming with a mother's pride
Even though she did not conceive me

It is He—and He in she—that I long to please
With my life and the words I speak
To make her laugh is dandy and fine
But to make her think? Now that's divine!

It hasn't all been warm and fuzzy
This lady, she pulls no punches
But she's guided me, trained me, raised me
Helped me become the man I am

She's had her turn—many more than I
—at the front, speaking words Supplied
I am blessed to know her, to be known by her
Mother mine, would you smile for me, just one more time?
