Prayer Is Life

Run to me my broken child

And I will make you whole

I am the one who loves you most

Who breathes life into your soul

Run to me my broken one

And I will set you free

I’m here with strong arms open

Turn around and run to me.

 

You lie sleepless silence shattered

In the broken glass of your day

Your fragile spirit tattered

Your hope is swept away

In the deluge of delusions

Frustrations born of pain

But I am no mere illusion

Caught in a drop of rain

 

On my knees at your feet

I lift your tear soaked face to the light

I am your fortress your retreat

From terrors in the night

I am your warrior, your peace, your path

As your world tumbles down

I am shelter in the aftermath

You will not crash you will not drown

 

Let me hold you safe in my arms

Put your weary head against my breast

I melt the ice I keep you warm

This pulse of love beating in my chest

I have loved you before eternity

And after time stands still

You are beautiful and whole in me

I love you now and always will

 

Just a love note from your “Father”

TL Boehm

you are loved beyond measure. Treasured beyond belief

Its Your Breath

 

Its Your breath

That stirs the water

Its your breath

That stirs the trees

Its your breath that moves the mountains

Brings hearts of stone to their knees

Your breath sparks the fire

Your breath brings the light

Sets the stars in motion

Illuminates the night

 

My God who sends the water

My God who sends the rain

My God who walks beside me

Beside me once again

 

Spin each planet on its axis

In ever expanding skies

At the center of the universe

You still hear my heart before it cries

 

When I stand lost forsaken

War weary misunderstood

You bless the path I’ve taken

Trade my evil for good

 

Its your breath that gives me life

Its Your breath that sets me free

Its your breath across my soul

Breathe your Spirit into me.

You are the One for me

Your love has set me free

Your love for me is great

You did not hesitate

It is more than I can dream

You washed me in the stream

It’s in Your water’s flow

The You I long to know

I praise You with my tongue

But in my heart its done

The song You give to me

Is altogether free

Its You that I adore

As I stand knocking at Your door

To lift my praise so high

It goes beyond the sky

Your vision is so great

You did not hesitate

You call me as Your son

When Jesus’ work was done

On earth He came to be

To set us prisoners free

You are a Holy Fire

We burn with Your desire

You free us in our minds

With Your wonders and your signs

You fill us with your grace

So we might run the race

My love for You is strong

For You can do no wrong

Your meaning is quite clear

You come to hold us near

Surrender then, we do

In You we are brand new

You teach us at our speed

You already know our need

Could You

Could you love a soul so fragile

Broken yet unwilling to bend

Have You loved me from the beginning

Will You love me to the end

Could You make sense of my screaming

Calm my raging heart and then

Could You curb a soul that's lost control

Restore it gently again

You are the cooling river

Through this desert dry

The well that holds each precious tear

Every time I cry

You are the love  I reach for

Like a child in the night

Protector, Father, Comfort

My source of love and light
