Sweet Expectation

I've been looking forward to some great adventure
I can feel it coming. I can feel it coming.
Something in my heart says, "Girl, get ready, get set"
I can feel it coming. I can feel it coming.
Oh, I can't wait. Oh, I can't wait.

It's a sweet expectation, 
Like something magical could happen.
Like my whole world could be changing in a moment
I can sense but cannot see.
It's a sweet expectation
That sometimes has no fulfillment, Lord knows why
But, oh, it sure feels sweet.

I feel so excited like something got ignited
I think something's coming. I think something's coming.
Everything looks hopeful and anything seems possible
I think something's coming. I think something's coming.
Oh, I can't wait. Oh, I can't wait.

It's a sweet expectation, 
Like something magical could happen.
Like my whole world could be changing in a moment
I can sense but cannot see.
It's a sweet expectation
That sometimes has no fulfillment, Lord knows why
But, oh, it sure feels sweet.

Once And For All

I have fallen down
I am on the ground
I have made a mess of things.
Took my eyes off you
I guess my heart moved, too.
And it happened so quickly.

Once again so faithless
but you're still faithful to me.

And I am forgiven once and for all.
I am not doomed to stay down when I fall.
Though I am human and I'll make mistakes
I am made blameless by your perfect grace
Once and for all.

In this morning hour
I can feel your power
And with my arms lifted up
Here there is no shame
And there is no fear
There is only grateful love.

I am forgiven once and for all.
I am not doomed to stay down when I fall.
Though I am guilty you do not judge
All debts are paid by what Jesus has done.
Once and for all.
Once and for all.
Once and for all.

I am forgiven once and for all.
I am not doomed to stay down when I fall.
Though I am human and I'll make mistakes
I am made blameless by your perfect grace
I am made guiltless by your perfect grace
I am made holy by your perfect grace
Once and for all.

Forever Mine

Life is very strange
So subject to change
Many days so ordinary and many filled with pain.
Many highs and lows.
Many stops and starts.
Collisions and accidents and things that break our hearts.
But in trying times these gifts are mine.

Your joy and Your peace are all that matter to me.
Your joy and Your peace - the only things I need.
In blessings and earthquakes
and whatever life throws my way
I know they last but for a day
And you are forever mine. Forever mine.

Don't know what's to come.
Hard to see what's been.
Out of control, and now I know, that's how it's always been.
And I can't change a thing,
And I can't right the wrongs
but I'm standing on this solid ground that's held me all along.
Oh, in trying times these gifts are mine.

It's just Your joy and Your peace
that have ever mattered to me.
Your joy and your peace,
the only things I need.
In blessings and earthquakes
and whatever life throws my way
I know they last but for a day
And you are forever mine. Forever mine...

Beloved

The world has many names for you 
And you have heard all of them
Branding shame and sadness like tattoos
You've believed them.
They're all lies. The truth is, Child,
He calls you Precious. He calls you Precious.
He calls you Precious, little girl.

"Now raise your eyes and look at Me
And let me show you all the beauty that I see.
Open your ears, for I have said, 
For now and all eternity your name has been: Beloved."

It matters not what came before 
The road ahead is calling you
Walk in this new hope and believe it.
He won't fail you.
It's alright. The truth is, Child,
He calls you Precious. He calls you Precious.
He calls you Precious, little girl.

"Now raise your eyes and look at Me
And let me show you all the beauty that I see.
Open your ears for I have said,
For now and all eternity your name has been:
Beloved."

Now there is no fear in love.

Never Alone

I am walking by myself through town
It is autumn and the leaves are brown
And the sky is covered up by clouds.
It's quite a chilly day.

In this lonely season of my life
Though there is no one walking by my side
I am talking to you and I find
You hear each word I say.

I will never be alone again
I can see now that I never was
You have always been my closest friend
We have never been apart
Though I am so far from home you've been
Living here within my heart
And I know it's true
My home's with you
And I will never be alone.

It's beautiful the way you speak to me
And I can't believe how close you seem
Amazing how someone I cannot see 
Could be with me like this.

I will never be alone again 
I can see now that I never was
You have always been my closest friend
We have never been apart
Though I am so far from home you've been
Living here within my heart
I know it's true
My home's with you
And I will never be alone.

Though there are lonely hours and always will be
I know you will be there with me
Not just now but for all eternity.

I will never be alone again 
I can see now that I never was
You have always been my closest friend
We have never been apart
Though I am so far from home you've been
Living here within my heart
I know it's true
My home's with you
And I will never be alone.
