Time Between Times

I was not born to be a soldier
I was born for peaceful shores
And though the war is raging,
I dream of a quiet house where I can talk with Jesus
and he would talk with me, too
I was not born to be a stranger
I was born to be welcomed in
And though for now I'm reaching for a mirror, dimly-lit
I know I shall know fully, as I have been fully-known
My soul, my soul, let go
This place is not your home
I was not born to thirst forever
I was born to be satisfied
But how could all my longing be met in a finite life?
Unless the Word was made flesh,
Present in bread and in wine.
I was born for a good kingdom in a fruitful, grassy land
Not born to be a soldier, so I'll lay down my guns
Until that last day comes
My soul, my soul, let go
This place is not your home

Haunted

I still feel haunted when I think of that tree
where our first father took the fruit and was deceived
Corruption ran deep into all of his kids
How truly I am guilty for what he did
My God, O my God, have mercy on me
You are my hiding place
or my adversary
I fall at your feet
Have mercy on me
I still feel haunted when I think of my sin
The path that took me far from what I really wanted
Your hand was upon me; my bones wasted away
My God, now I see how I've lost my way
My God, O my God, have mercy on me
You are my hiding place
or my adversary
I fall at your feet
Have mercy on me
I still feel haunted by the tree of the son
The weight of the catastrophic curse, undone
How willingly he suffered for the pain we had earned
And by his grace, fullness of life returned
How deep, oh how wide, your mercy to me!
You are my hiding place, preserving my life
I fall at your feet
Have mercy on me

Lord, Give Us Peace
03:41
|

We're living as exiles and strangers
and gather, remembering Christ
who took on our flesh and our weakness,
who was crushed to bring us to life
We may not be finished with suffering
We may not be finished with pain
And we cannot yet see the ending;
Help us take heart in weakness and say,
Lord, give us peace
Give us your peace
As we wait for your return
Lord, give us peace
Give us your peace,
we pray
You are the God who is with us,
who came close to taste our distress
that we might receive through your suffering
your wonderful, infinite rest
In the name of the Father, Lord, give us your peace
In the name of the Son, who carried our grief
In the name of the Spirit, may we harvest abundant relief
Looking to you,
Longing for you,
we pray.

Hesed (Psalm 144)
04:31

Blessed by the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war
He is my steadfast love, my shield, my fortress evermore
O Lord, who is man, that you think of him?
We're like a passing shadow,
but you love us like a friend.
O Lord, you've shown us mercy
in our hour of deep distress.
O Lord Jesus,
we rejoice in your hesed
O Lord, come down and bend the heavens
and make the mountains smoke
Send forth your lightning, show your power
and triumph over your foes
Stretch out your hand, deliver me
The waters draw me down
The prince of lies would take my life
but you will not let me drown
You have delivered us from the ruins of our sin
You have been faithful, God, through it all
You have been kind to me,
though I still so often water
Yet you are faithful, God, through it all
You have delivered us from the ruins of our sin
You have been faithful, God, through it all
Now you are planting seeds
that will bloom into a garden
You will be faithful, God, through it all
O Lord, who is man, that you think of him?
We're like a passing shadow,
but you love us like a friend.
O Lord, you've shown us mercy
in our hour of deep distress.
O Lord Jesus,
we rejoice in your hesed
