Angelic Visitation

Blackness closes in around her
Her body trembles with fear
A girl curled up in the corner
For she knows the demons will appear

Trying to hide but its hopeless
Theyve no goodness, just a cold dark stare
Turn your back child so you cant see them
She wonders, 'does anyone care?'

Moonlight shines through the curtains
A flicker of hope, her mind clears
Calling out a whisper to her Father
The answer, come with me child, Im here

Waterfalls cascade beside her
Fragrant orchid pungent in the air
Son has victory over darkness
A gentle breeze strokes her hair

Beauty beyond description
Heart settled, a promise made
Youll return here as my daughter
And see woodland and everglade

Angels give protection forever
As demons terrorise the night
But fear has gone, with hope in place
Her Saviour promised, Itll be alright.

The Horizon

Driving home, down the long dark road
The fields go speeding by.
Only here, are the trucks that appear
On the roadside, their lights blind me.

And I'm thinking, what am I doing
Do I really know what I am here for
Is it over? Is pressure disappeared?
Or does false hope cloud the horizon?
Does false hope cloud the horizon?

And I say, please let it work out
Dont tell me that something is wrong
And He says, beloved, I am here
See the footprints walking in the sand
Here I am now...Here I am now.

Make a pit stop. I open the door
I just cant work out this feeling
I dont want to. I dont want to be right
My false hope clouds the horizon
My false hope clouds the horizon

And I say, please let it work out
Dont tell me that something is wrong
And He says, beloved, I am here
See the footprints walking in the sand
Here I am now...Here I am now.

Phone call comes, the vigil thru the night
Will worst fear be realised?
Angels, angels please be near
Give protection...give protection

Sunrise. A new day is born
Outcome of tomorrow never known
Whos there? Peace and Quietude.
Can you see sun shine on the horizon?

The sun shines bright on the horizon.

Story behind the song...
A few years ago, doctors thought my Dad had cancer. My exams had been put forward a week, so I ended up with a week off uni before the Spring Semester started. I'd been annoyed about my exams being put forward (less time to study), but had felt prompted by the Lord that the reason for that was because the week I had off was a time when my Dad would need me most. He went in for tests and was given the all clear - I put my 'prompt' as being my overactive imagination. Heading to visit my Mum in Edinburgh, I felt that prompt again and turned off the M90 to my Dad's. I walked in, and got told we needed to take my Dad to hospital right away. My Dad was rushed into surgery, only to be rushed back out again as they realised he had a major infection and part of his insides had gone gangrene. It was too dangerous for him to be under anaesthetic. I knew there was a good chance my Dad would die. Yet I had an enormous sense of peace - he wasn't going to. The next afternoon I spent 2 hours silently praying over my Dad while he slept for the first time in a week. 3 days later the doctors took him into surgery only to discover there was now nothing wrong with him...the infection and the gangrene had disappeared. The doctors said it was miraculous...they had never seen that happen before. I had no doubt where that miracle had come from - Jesus. And I will always be so thankful for the grace that God showed to my family that week.

Power Above

In the darkness, He watched over me
Endangered, He sent angels to sit with me
Anxious, His words calmed me
Feeling weak, His love strengthened me
Joyful, He danced along with me
I wronged, His wisdom cut through my heart
A lie clouded vision, but His truth brought light
Lacking enthusiasm, He gave a song to inspire me
Troubles lay ahead, He prepared me for battle
In an evil world, His armour empowers me
Now and always

A Psalm written by a koala

God I cry out to You. You are Lord of Heaven and earth. I cannot live without You. I am nothing if not worthless without Christ. But in You there is strength that overcomes every weakness, agility to leap over the highest hurdle with such grace, those that witness it will marvel at the power behind it. That power comes from Your Spirit. You created me, and everything from the tiniest amoeba to the largest galaxy in the universe. And yet I am your daughter and there is sonship. You have given me gifts in abundance, and Your love for me is everlasting and unconditional. Your love drives out all fear. You are both a majestic King and a suffering servant. Your voice is so loud it could blow our minds, yet You whisper intimately to us. Your gift of faith can move mountains. You do the miraculous, yet subtlety work in the mundane. You are angry but calm. You counsel but are still in control. You are three in one. You are the only awesome God.
