Centering Prayer

I wanna be where my feet are

I wanna breathe the life around me

I wanna listen as my heart beats, right on time

I wanna be where my feet are

I chase my worries

I flee my sorrows

But what you give me is now

So take my burdens

And my tomorrows

I wanna be where my feet are

I wanna breathe the life around me

I wanna listen as my heart beats, right on time

I wanna be where my feet are

I run to capture

The next horizon

But what you give me is here

I get no farther

And still I find you

I wanna be where my feet are

O Love That Will Not Let Me Go - Sandra McCracken

Verse 1

O Love that will not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee.
I give thee back the life I owe,
that in thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.

Verse 2

O Light that follows all my way,
I yield my flick’ring torch to thee.
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.

Verse 3

O Joy that seekest me through pain,

I cannot close my heart to thee.

I trace the rainbow through the rain,

and feel the promise is not vain,

that morn shall tearless be.

Verse 4

O Cross that liftest up my head,

I dare not ask to fly from thee.

I lay in dust, life’s glory dead,

and from the ground there blossoms red, life that shall endless be.

God’s Highway - Sandra McCracken

Verse 1

My feet are strong

My eyes are clear

I cannot see the way from here

But on we go

He knows the way

And in His arms He keeps me safe

This tiny ship that carries me

It is not yet, but it will be

So heaven come, it's you we need

Walk in the light of God's highway

Fear not, keep on, watch and pray

Walk in the light of God's highway

Steadfast - Sandra McCracken

VERSE 1

I will build my house, whether storm or drought

On the rock that does not move

I will set my hope, in your love, O Lord

And your faithfulness will prove, You are

By the word you spoke, all the starry hosts

Are called out by name each night

In your watchful care, I will rest secure

As you lead us with Your light

I will not trust in the strength of kings

On your promise I will stand

I will shout for joy, I will raise my voice

Hallelujah to the Lamb!

In the moment of emptiness, all was fulfilled

In the hour of darkness, Your light was revealed

In the presence of death, Your life was affirmed

In the absence of holiness, You are still God
