Sons will know that they are loved by fathers Who will know that they are sons Of the Father who released his Son from heaven And fathers will teach their sons to be men, To be loved and to love Jehovah The God of our redemption The hope of our salvation Sometimes, I wonder if I came to you for bread, Would you give me stones? If I asked you for your presence, would you leave me Alone to wonder if your goodness was real Or if it’s just a silly notion Meant to numb me from what I really feel But you came before me Everything that was meant to be Was imagined by you, made through you So what I think I want for you to do Is to take my fractured present And infect it with your future Fish or serpent, bread or stones? Can you be my goodness, you alone? If I choose to bring myself to you, Will you take hold me and bring me through? My circumstance has preached the lie That I’m not worth your kindness, worth your time But Father come, Hear our cries, Raise our hopeless souls from death to life.

run 03:07
I ran away from you ‘Cause I don’t belong to you I made my home in a faraway place Making my own way I will do better without you I, I wanted you to be pleased Wanted to make you proud of me But I never knew If you really cared So I took my share… I ran away from you ‘Cause I don’t belong to you I made my home in a faraway place Making my own way I will do better without you So I lived, and I lived Feeding capricious desires But I woke up empty Desperate and lonely Lustful and angry And longing for more… So I’m running back to you And I know I’m dead to you But I’d rather serve you than die like I’ve lived But you run to meet me So quick to love me I have been wandering, Why would you give all of this to me? I have been wandering, Why would you give all of yourself to me?

In the new creation When the earth collides with The new Jerusalem and All things are satisfied, we Will know the love of Abba Our King and our Creator The Lord, our God, forever Will reign in grace and glory Your holy hands are making all things new To worship you The Kingdom of this world Is changing hands. Jehovah Will reign and dwell among us And by decree, there will be: No more death and mourning No more pain and crying God himself will come And wipe the tears from all our eyes Your home with your people You will call us daughters and sons Alpha and Omega Sitting on the throne, you proclaim, “It is done.”

I remember the coolness Of the water that washed me. Now, I’m being emptied I’m so hungry and lonely Bring your joy Make me new Make me whole I am sick, I’m addicted To noise and attention You bring me into silence To break my affliction Bring your joy Make me new Make me whole If you are the God of this desert, Then empty me, fill me, surround me, pursue me If you are the God of this desert, Keep your promise to me in this place So I’m here, you have led me This is our secret place Bring me dreams, give me visions Abba, come and show me your face Bring your joy Make me new Make me whole
5.
Lord, I can remember When I saw your goodness: Your favor in our land Your covering on our sin I recall the days When I recognized your ways: Bringing back our fortunes Holding back your anger In our suffering and sorrow Come speak peace to us Grant us salvation And show us your love Will you not revive us again, So that we might find joy in you? Love and faithfulness Join to bring your goodness Justice and peace With tenderness, they meet We long to hear from you Speak peace to us Make way for your glory And show us your love Will you not revive us again, That we might find joy in you? Give what is good And we’ll know your grace Salvation will come As we worship your name

plant 04:29
I have brought you here Build your houses, plant your gardens, This is home The Lord of hosts has sent you here Make your families, raise your children here This is home I see you crying by the river Remembering what life used to be Now seek the welfare of this city In its good, you will find your good If you seek me with your heart I will let you find me I will come and visit you I will keep my promise Bring you back to the land I remaking for you I have plans for you For your goodness, not your evil To bring you home Jehovah knows his plans for you You’ll cry out to me, and I will listen I’ll bring you home I hear your prophets as they tell you Exactly what you want to hear They tell you lies, don’t you listen I’m the only future that you have I’m the only hope you’ll ever need

a place of spiritual connection and personal self-giving.

This is the end of a long journey, and yet it is the beginning of something else as well...
