last week, 

I learned some things

that I wish

I never knew. 

I wish that

this world was

already 

the way you 

are making it 

to be 

one day. 

Beautiful. 

Real

Perfect

(no evil

no tears

no pain 

no loneliness

no families

being torn apart)

until then, 

we can only wait.

I can only move forward

and trust

that you are stronger

then the things 

that make me

cry. 

Like all things, 

in this too, 

I will trust in you. 

Thank You, 

for being here. 

steady in your gaze of love

cleanse my heart and hold me close
steady in Your gaze of love
wrap my sins in Your gossamer grace
strong as steel I'll trust your will
even when I'm weak and so afraid
I'll kneel before you
and accept the price
cleanse my mind and hold me close
steady in Your gaze of love
you walked the path of calvary
you died and wreathed a crown of thorns
who am I that you bled for me?
a love so strong it broke our chains
a love so strong it saved even me
cleanse my soul and hold me close
steady in Your gaze of love
increase my faith, increase my fear
increase my love and draw me near
guide my gaze to always be
forever locked on you, my King
cleanse my body and hold me close

steady in Your gaze of love.
