Majestic Mystery

This came out of nowhere tonight.

Okay, not nowhere, it was the Lord, zero doubt about that! The first one I wrote today was me, and I don't think I'll be publishing it for awhile. He's a way faster writer than I am. 

So stoked about this one, the sound in my mind is amazing and insanely different from anything else He's ever given me... Way more upbeat and electric than my other stuff. 

The song speaks for itself. Hope that you enjoy it.... Not solid on the title yet, but I figure I'd go with it for now. 

Chorus

Have you heard, have you seen?

This Majestic Mystery

The lifeless, they breathe

The hopeless, they dream

Broken hearts are romancing

This dead girl is dancing

Again

Verse 1

Is it true what they've said

About this Jesus of Nazareth?

Is He the 'Good News' proclaimed by the Baptist?

Is it true what they say---

That He can take our sins away?

Chorus

Have you heard, have you seen?

This Majestic Mystery

The lifeless, they breathe

The hopeless, they dream

Broken hearts are romancing

This dead girl is dancing

Again

Verse 2

This carpenter's son---

Have you seen what He's done?

Opened blind eyes to see

Is it true that He's come---

To show the hated they are loved?

Chorus

Have you heard, have you seen?

This Majestic Mystery

The lifeless, they breathe

The hopeless, they dream

Broken hearts are romancing

This dead girl is dancing

Again

Bridge

He says:

Give me your life...

High is the price

But great is the prize

Do you see the love in my eyes

I will never leave your side

Give me your life...

High is the price

But great is the prize

Do you see the love in my eyes

I will never leave your side

This world will rot

But my Kingdom will not

My treasures last forever

Chorus

Have you heard, have you seen?

This Majestic Mystery

The lifeless, they breathe

The hopeless, they dream

Broken hearts are romancing

This dead girl is dancing

Again

Oh, at last I can see

Oh, at last I can breathe

Oh, at last I can see

Oh, at last I can breathe

Oh, at last I can see

Oh, at last I can breathe

Come Away (Song of Solomon)

Come away

Come away with me

My love, my dove

Right now, before the sun comes up

Before the shadows of the night flee

Rise up

And come away with me

Oh my darling, awake

Rise up, and come,

Away with me

Come away, come away with me

Come away, my love, it’s true

I want to speak to you

While the flowers are dressed in the morning dew

In case you haven’t noticed

I am in love with you

I am in love with you

Come away, you are my garden

You are my bride

You hold me hostage with one look from your eyes

My hidden spring, my delight

Your love is better than wine

Your love is better than wine

Come away, come away with me

My love, my dove

Right now, before the sun comes up

Before the shadows of the night flee

Rise up

And come away with me

Oh my darling, awake

Rise up, and come,

Away with me

Come away, come away with me

My fragrance, my spice

My fountain, my delight

—lily among the thorns

Oh how I adore you... How I adore you

Come away, come away with me

My love, my dove

Right now, before the sun comes up

Before the shadows of the night flee

Rise up

And come away with me

Oh my darling, awake

Rise up, and come,

Away with me

Come away, come away with me

My Victory

The last song I wrote for 2011... I honestly can't think of anything that would better sum up my year. It was the biggest and best yet, and it came with many victories... Reconciled relationships. Steps of faith. Dealing with depression, fear, self-sufficiency, and condemnation. God won a lot of major battles that were going on in this little heart.  And a week before Christmas, as I was reading through my old notes from I & II Kings class (2 Chronicles 20, people----it's a gem), this happened.... God spoke (with a melody, as He typically does with me), and He reminded me of all that He has done and all that He will do so long as I continue claiming my victory in Him----not myself, not my parents, not my friends. 

He is My Victory, now and forever.

Intro

This battle is not mine

Victory I find

When I drop my fear, drop my pride

And fix my eyes on You

Chorus

Victory

When I pray, when I pray

Victory

When I praise, when I praise

You, You are the God who saves

Verse 1

When my enemies are vast with many victories

When my weapons are down

And all my allies have betrayed me

I know one plus God equals

Automatic victory

I am one plus God

I have the majority

Chorus

Victory

When I pray, when I pray

Victory

When I praise, when I praise

You, You are the God who saves

Verse 2

When I struggle, when I'm tempted

When doubt tries to bring me down

When fear and lust and lies and pride

Try to take me out

I will not be crushed

I will not be forsaken

No I will not be shaken

Bridge

When I call on Your name

You will save, You will save me

You always do, You always do

You are my refuge, You are my refuge

When I call on Your name

You will save, You will save me

You always do, You always do

You are my refuge, You are my refuge

End

It's no contest

Devil, what are you fighting for?

It's no contest

God is on my side of this war!

He is My Victory

He is My Victory

God, You are My Victory

You are My Victory
I will never fight alone
This battle is not my own...
