More than Waves

Get out of the boat and come to Me

do more than just float and be set free

the wind and the waves appear too strong

but this point of view is simply wrong

The Lord of the heavens, the God of the sea

controls all the weather, and He's by me

When that sinking feeling starts

look up for His extended arm

He's sees all that's in your heart

He's the one to prevent harm

You can't get lost beneath the waves

When you are with the One who saves

He is no Fool

 He is No Fool

He is no fool
exchanging dark for light
who knows the rules

of choosing fight or flight

In a world of illusion

where false fears ignore what is real
the submission to delusions
superceded because we feel

Hold fast to what remains

what lasts may also bring pain

recast the mold to excellence

outlast what's just existence

Remains of the Day

 Remains of the Day

Be with me in that hour

    When the last breath nears

    Remove persisting fears

Enveloped in your power

An ending without props

    As heaven's light appears

    I realize what's dear

A love that never stops

Present yourself in peace

    This earthly chapter ending

    As time and space are rending

A love that does not cease

REMAINS

Conected to the heavens

A look from heaven

reaches down, lights the eyes

shines into the soul

transformational quanta

a word never voided

message received

sky to earth

eternal to temporal

dynamic thethering

a knot to the spirit

(c) 2023 Brian David Kelley 

Inescapable Grace

Where are you from where will you go?

When life makes you numb, when life keeps you low

The burden you bear is not just for you

There's someone who cares, when you have no clue

Inescapable grace

Irreplaceble mercy

and a passion that longs for your best

a repeating forgiveness

and a stubborn renewal

even when life's a mess

Night from Day - a song to send out Missionaries

A song written for the sending out of someone going into missions work. It tells how it is a bitterwseet thing with good work to come and the pain of leaving friends and family behind - and how God more than compensates!
