The Path

Free

More than a billion stars in the sky
And each is a part of you
In some way
More than a trillion wonderful qualities
And miracles
Wherein we may shout hooray
And praise you

You are willing
And full of mercy
To forgive
Holding both arms open
When we repent
To welcome us home again

You could do
What ever you want to
And yet
You set us free
To choose
And happy are we
When we see
That the best way
Is down on our knees
Where we are truly free indeed

Power of Words

There is power in our words
In every idle word we speak
There is power in our prayer
To build in faith
And lift up the meek

There is power in our minds
Moved by strongholds we don't see
There is power in our thoughts
To fight the fire
To build our hearts

There is power in silence
To defy offense
Yet silence prolonged
Builds ends
Defies encouragement
And liberty

There is power in unconditional love
Allowing the burdened to rise above
Admonishing many sorrows
Breaking down walls
Lifting hearts
All to the glory of God

Be My Puppet Master

Make me your puppet Lord
Wake me in the morn
Guide me by
Your strong hands
Keep my strings
From being torn

Make me your puppet Lord
Walk me down
Your chosen path
Guide each and every step I take
Be all that I have

Make me your puppet Lord
For in this
I can do no wrong
Point me in the way
I need to go
And bring me where you know

Make me your puppet Lord
With zeal
Make my passage sure
Turn me not
To the right or left
And teach me
How to be pure

Make me your puppet Lord
In the night and after noon
All day long
I can't go wrong
With you as my master
To the end of time, and soon

Make me your puppet Lord
Work my feet and hands
For your good
Steady my head
And move my heart
With you in control
Every day will be
A fresh start

Make me your puppet Lord
When it's time to rest
If you lay me down
Stay with me
And hold me
In the night time too
For in your arms
I can't go wrong
I'll have the very best

Feed me with your love
Teach me what is true
Free me with salvation
For this is only good
Show me your wondrous zeal
In this we truly feel
That it's the only pure
Spiritual food
