Heaven, Today

Oh Lord, You have searched me and You know me
Where can I run from Your Spirit?
Where can I flea from Your Presence?
You are all around me – surrounding
You know all my ways
I can go nowhere

Eyes oh Eyes of the Lord
Running swiftly to and fro throughout the earth
Looking for a heart that is fully Yours
Pour grace upon this one
To walk with You in truth

The task at hand is more than I can bear
I look to You
The past tries to weigh down like a millstone
I look to You
The present has only light for the next step
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
Here is a light for my path
I look to You

Great and marvelous
Wonderful and fabulous
Spectacular and splendid
Breathtaking and brilliant
Magnificent and incredible
Grand and superb
You Are

You who hold the universe, even all of man
Everything upheld by the power of Your Word
How am I not more enthralled by You?
Why am I not thrust to the ground by the sheer weight of You?
Release revelation!

How do You hold seven stars in Your hand?
How do You walk among the seven lamp stands?
How do You live in me?
I want to be a man obsessed by the knowledge of You

Thank You for Your Spirit
Asking today for a greater measure
A baptism in the knowledge of You
Afresh

Afresh and anew, today and tomorrow
This morning and in the middle of the night
Again, and once more
Baptized in who You are
Immersed, deeper, into another measure
More now

Release Your Glory
Standing before Holiness
Believing that You hear these prayers
In faith, in the Throne Room
Contending for revival

The dreams of Your heart for this city
Your Word spoken – in our day
Come to pass
Disease can not stand
Want must make way
Nothing is impossible for You!

Stir up hunger for Your Name today
Standing, Believing, Crying out
Even for reverence for who You are
Break into hearts, into lives
Break in with life and hope
Will You display Your Power in our midst?
You, who surely will come?

Ready, hungry, earnestly desiring more
Stretch forth Your hand
Release healing

It keeps coming back to Your Glory
How do I miss it so quickly?
How do I keep making other things primary?
It is so much less complicated
It is so much easier than I have made it

Life, hours, days, it really is just about
Knowing You, looking to You, loving You
Then all else falls into place…
So many other things simply fall away

Being caught up
Enthralled, enraptured, even on earth
Even today, even at this very moment
Looking to the Lord, the Most High

Here is love, here is life
Here is direction, here is hope
In this One’s Presence
There is found the fullness of joy
Heaven is only Heaven because God is there
He is what makes Heaven so

Why then, could we not have Heaven here?
If it is about being in His Presence
If it is about turning to Your Word
If it is about letting our hearts be loved by God
Immortal, Divine, Omni, Merciful, Just, True!
Heaven, today

Your Name is my Reward

The longing of my heart
Yes, the aching of my inner being
Oh Lord, let it be
I will praise you with my whole heart
My inner man sings and makes mention of You
Your lovingkindness and truth overshadow me
I lean on them like pillars
I cried out, and You answered me
You make me bold with strength in my soul

I am revived once again
When I wonder, is all hope lost?
Then You are there
How can You be ever faithful – even to unfaithful man?

Holiness adorns You
Beauty surrounds You
New life is in Your eyes
Would You look at me?

Holy One, who keeps covenant and mercy
Faithful for a thousand generations
Here we are
Here we are
Those who love You and keep Your commandments

Wanting to be with You
Wanting to gaze on this beauty
For this my eyes were created
How I long to simply gaze
One thing I ask of You, Lord
To just dwell in Your house
To stand in Your temple
To be set in the secret place
That I might forever gaze on the uncreated One
On the Most High, the Perfection of Beauty
You, the worthy One

Jesus,
You are holy, You are glorious, You are worthy of this
Where else can we go?
But You,
The only Rock who hears supplications

You are worthy of
You are deserving of
All this life can offer to You
Holy and Glorious One
Running towards You
Drawing near to You
Moving closer now…
Pour out grace to know You
All glory, honor, and power is Yours

I don’t want to go through the motions
I don’t want to know You from afar
Earnestly desiring history between us
My goal to have memory in our gaze
A knowing, and understanding, a close communion
Knowing even Your glances

Will You bring me to this place?
I ask, I seek, I knock… for You
Even now…
No longer trying to attain to You
No longer striving to reach sanctification
Letting go, trusting now
Yielding to Your faithfulness over my own
Believing You are faithful to complete it
Today I release my life to You

You are with me
An ever-present help in time of trouble
You are ever-present, ever-near
You never leave
You never forsake

Abandoning worry and fear
I choose to trust You
You are for me
The Darling of Heaven – He is with me

I am never alone
You are with me
You have to become my all
You have to be everything
The One who was, who is, who is to come
Riding on the clouds of Heaven
On whom is written, Faithful and True

Beautiful, all Glorious
Fully awesome
Men fall in Your Presence
Center of it all
Worthy lamb who sits upon the throne
All creation bows
And I,
I join the throng
And that has made all the difference

Faithful glance

I want to be found faithful
I want to be found steady
In the end of days, on the last march, at the hour of reckoning
Where can I give my life towards to this end?

Can I just sit and gaze?
Can I be faithful as You are faithful?
Will You just look at me that I might be changed in that gaze?

Eternity drives me
What prize do I wish to attain?
Where to give my time and affection?
How can I be found faithful?

The answer is in the cry
The answer on my lips already
Before I ask it, I know
How can I simply live in the place of prayer?
Will You orient my life that I might give myself to this life?

I don’t want to leave the Secret Place
I don’t want to lose the gaze
I don’t want to do “good things”

I want to live my hours, my days, my life before Your Eyes
Flaming eyes of fire – search and know this one
Passion arises. Strength and Resolve break forth.
Wash me with the water of Your Word
Again and again, like the sea breakers that cannot be stopped
There is no taming them

Like a hidden treasure, like buried gold and silver
Where You are, that’s where I want to be
Have You not placed me in this school of love?

Just let me pray
Just let me contend
Just set me on the wall
Just give me the charge
My ears strain for the call

Let faith and wonder arise
Here is the safe place, even when life collapses, here is where I go
The alter of the Most High

How is it there is always more?
How is it You are always more?
Would You grant such grace to Your servant to go to the deep places?

Jesus, living flame of Love!

It is still in the first glance
It is still in the gaze, a shared memory
It is still in the Word, enrapturing
How can this soul not return equal obsession?

I remember the dance
I remember the passion
I remember being utterly lost – caught in the throes
How is Your love towards us this way?
How is it we read Your Word and are reduced to mush?

I’ve never known a love like this
I’ve never been so lost in it all
Again and again, batter this heart
Posses, breathe, shine, and seek to mend
Your force to break, blow, burn, and make new

Grant what You desire for Your own
If life, if death, if much, if little, if many, if none
Do what You want to do, do whatever it takes
Just come

I waited patiently for the Lord...

Oh God, through me, Your hands have the power to heal every disease.
Your Power can heal, deliver, and set your people free
Now is the time for faith upon the earth
Now is the season of signs in the Heavens and wonders on the earth
My preaching is not with wise or persuasive words
But by a demonstration of the power of God

Here I am asking!
Here I stand, believing!
Your Glory oh Lord is my reward
Will You usher me into this place?
Worthy is the Lamb

Supernatural power working through Your servants
Through Your ones, to bring more to Yourself
Declaring that You are worth it
Now, let the prophetic break forth
Now, let faith arise

And with it, power to heal, power to deliver, power to set people free
Bind up the brokenhearted and bandage these wounds.

Oh God, now is the time, it was always available, it was always there…
Awaken us to who You are, Jesus, and what You are doing
That we may live in the reality of who You are on this earth
That we may live in the power of the Holy Spirit
Pour Your love on us

Bring us to the revelation of You, the faithful One

Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God
The faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations
With those who love Him and keep His commandments

Teach us, lead us, show us Your ways upon the earth
Grant the desires of hearts now God
Fulfill petitions and grant purposes
Set Your Seal upon our hearts
That we might know the width and depths
Of the divine love of God

The melody, the song, the call of my heart:

I set myself before You again, Jesus
Coming before the Throne of Grace
Oh God, release the seal of Your fiery love
Set Your Seal upon my heart. All consuming One.
You who are fire, and You who are an all consuming flame.
Would You come now and burn in me?
Would You burn all away that is not of You.

I ask for You.

By the Power of the Holy Spirit
Would You set Your seal upon my heart and life?
Even now… Jesus.
I am asking for passion for Jesus
Fill my heart with Your Love, oh God
I want to love like You love
Come and fill my heart with Your love, Jesus
Set Your seal of fire on who I am

I want to be set on fire with love for You, Jesus.
I want to love like You Love.
I want it to be all about Love.
Come and fill my heart

Even now, more and more…

Set me before You again
I know it’s gonna be worth it all
Seal my heart with Love
Release the seal of fire upon who I am
The intimacy of the Holy Spirit

This is my chief desire, and this, my chief end

Won’t You come?
Here I stand, here I wait, and here I call out
I don’t wanna go anywhere else

I am standing here until You move me

I won’t go anywhere
You said we could ask for Your Love
Jesus, I want this

All consuming fire – come and burn in the deep places of my heart
Where else can I go, and what else could I do?
I want to be set on fire in love, for You Jesus
I believe You are worth it
You are worth my life, You are worth my time, You are worth my affection

Could I please just stay in this place?
Could I please never leave?
I don’t want to go
I don’t want to strive
I want to stand, serve, minister, and burn before You
Jesus, I just want to stand and gaze at Your beauty
I just want to be filled up in love with who You are
I want to know who You are
I want to know who You say we are
Worthy is the Lamb

Setting my heart in Your Presence again
Would You strengthen my heart in the Grace of God?
Abba, I come before You
That the love with which You love Your Son, would be put in my heart
I now ask for that love

The love with which You love, Jesus

You said, You would pour this love upon our hearts
So now, I ask to be filled with this Heavenly love
Supernatural love

Pour it on my heart
I want this love – that You have for Your Son, that You have for people
I am asking for this love
I want to be consumed
I want to be lost in love for You, Jesus

Fill us once again
