Jars of Clay

Ordinary jars of clay
Most precious gift you lay
Nothing perfect about us
Yet perfection placed in us
A priceless treasure we now contain
It's time to shout and proclaim
And bring glory to His name
How He can transform the mire
Into something to inspire
And make it pure so it can endure
The challenges that life can procure

The Mirror

Just trying to see through this dirty mirror
Waiting for the reflection to appear
Longing for a glimpse of Your face
But I can't see for all the darkness in this place
I want Your light to shine out
So the world can see what Your about
Just trying to see Your face in this mirror
Watching mine disappear
Being engulfed by Your grace
Lighting candles in the darkest place
Burning bright for all to see
More of You less of me

Cries of a Million

We have no voice, we have no rights
We have no I.D , we have no time
We have eyes, We have mouths
We have hearts, We have souls
You may ask who we are
But you already know us
We are the sons and daughters that never were
We are the  brothers and sisters that you never knew
We are the friends that never shared a laugh
We are the babies that never had a choice
We are the children that were never born

Bring Forth the Dawn

Bring forth the dawn in me
Let the Son break the horizon of my heart
Let it shine in to the valley
Search the dark places of my soul
Bring to light what is done in the dark
Show me what displeases you
Set me free from the chains that bind
Take me back; let me rewind
Make me into what I'm suppose to be
Mold all impurities out of me
