      This Moment In Time
      Composed January, 2007

      At this moment in time
      Jesus' love, so divine
      Reaches down, washes over me
      Reaches down, washes over me

      Can it be that the Lord above
      Knows me by my name?
      Can it be that the Son of God
      Died to rake my place?
      Can it be that this broken soul
      Can somehow be made whole?
      Can it be, can it be?

      At this moment in time
      I lift my hands, and close my eyes
      And I am free, I am free again
      I am free, I am free again

      Amazing love, amazing grace
      Jesus Christ took my place


      Quiet Place
      Composed June, 2004

      This is my quiet place
      This is my quiet place
      And I meet You here
      And I meet You here

      And You are here with me
      And You are here with me
      And You are here with me, Lord

      This is my freedom place
      This is my freedom place
      And I praise You here
      And I praise You here

      This is my painful place
      This is my painful place
      And I need You here
      And I need You here


      My Heart Is His
      Composed December 31, 2001

      The Lord is my refuge when times are hard
      He takes my hand and is my guard
      He is my stronghold and my defense
      And He will lead me to righteousness

      My heart is alive, my hands raised high
      Thanks to my Lord I will never die
      He will forever my portion be
      My God, with whom I'll spend eternity

      Shout for joy; my Savior lives!
      Shout for joy; my heart is His!

      Listen
      Composed August, 2004

      Listen, can you hear the prayer
      Of hurting children everywhere?
      All their hearts look here and there
      Searching for someone to care

      Can you hear their voices saying,
      "Jesus hear my prayer"?
      Can you feel the tears they're crying,
      "Will someone just care?"

      Listen, can you hear the cries
      Of all the ones with broken lives?
      Oh, how sorrowful their eyes
      Soon their hopes and hearts will die

      Listen, can you hear the sound
      As Jesus whispers to them now?
      Words of love felt all around
      And in Him they can be found

      And the rain falls down
      The tears of the Father
      And it's healing rain, it heals the pain

      He said, "Come to me,
      Let them come to me”


      Declaration (Good To Me)
      Composed December, 2005

      May my life in the Lord be unceasing
      May His praise consume my heart
      May my spirit be warmed by His presence
      And His fire, may it never depart

      My heart is Yours, it’s Yours, my God
      My soul is alive in Thee
      My cup overflows with thanksgiving, my God
      For You have been good to me
