Jesus You Alone

Well, amidst all the wonderings if "this could be the week" I received a "wake-up" call this morning in church.

"Jesus You alone shall be my first love

The secret place and highest praise shall be Yours

To Your throne I'll bring devotion

May it be the sweetest sound

Lord, this heart is reaching for You now

So I'll set my sights upon You

Set my life upon Your praise

Never looking to another way

You alone will be my passion

Jesus, You will be my song

You will find me longing after You

Longing after You."

Tim Hughes

As much as I long for that call, I give You the fulness of my passion and my life. I set my sights upon You, Jesus, and make you the desire of my heart.

Someday Mom

As a girl I had a common dream, to be a mom someday.

My baby would have eyes of blue and hair the hue of hay.

But now my dreams have been transformed. New visions fill my head.

Now the tresses that I long to stroke are raven black instead.

And in my dreams those eyes are not so big or blue or round.

Now in my dreams they're almond shape and colored cocoa brown.

And in my dream my arms can stretch across enormous seas.

They reach half-way around the world and hold you close to me.

As you grow in your mother's womb, carefully knit together,

Your also growing in my heart, where you will stay forever.

And in my dreams the moment that your mother says good-bye,

I'll be right there to comfort you and hold you as you cry.

Our features may not look alike; we're different as can be.

But still I know the Father has created you for me.

And though I've not yet seen your face, or held your tiny hands,

And though we're half a world apart in very different lands.

I'll be right there to get you just as soon as God allows.

But til he says the time is right I give to you this vow.

I'll pray for your protection every night on bended knee

for God will hold you in his arms, until you're home with me!
