Let love come to stay

Guilt and shame
Invite fear to stay
Prohibiting love;
There's no room for both -
in one place

God's perfect love
Casts out that fear
Sweeps out the shame;
Removes the guilt -
& washes me clean

Let love come
Let love come to stay

(1 John)

Your grace will be my song

Your love sets me free
From burdens that stayed
The weight of years
Lifted away.

Every challenge
Rejection that comes
You lead my response;
A better one.

I'm seeking your face
Lord, I cannot see
Yet your kindly gaze
Is holding me.

You're guiding me
All day long
Your grace is my song

You're leading my worship
To soak in your love;
To gain from your choice
When you took my place.

I'm still rejoicing
Though grief unallayed -
More potent become
My joy & my praise.

A living hope
You are my shield
All day long
Your grace will be my song

(1 Peter 1)
