Freight Train

Bringing peace beyond all knowledge
Powering over this terrain
Over mountains and through valleys
Coming like a mighty train

A miracle like a freight train –a special delivery.
Miracle like a freight train bearing down on me
Runaway runaway grace poured out on me

Unstoppable, it’s roaring
through the landscape of my mind
Undeterrable, its running
right on schedule-on God’s time

A miracle like a freight train –a special delivery.
Miracle like a freight train bearing down on me
Runaway runaway grace poured out on me

It rumbles through my comforts
Ease is crushed beneath its wheels
Pleasure takes on a new meaning
In the light this miracle reveals

A miracle like a freight train – take me where I cannot see.
Miracle like a freight train bearing down on me
A miracle like a freight train –sent down from eternity
Miracle like a freight train bearing down on me
Runaway runaway grace poured out on me

Of the Most High we partake This privilege for His name's sake The Lord God is most glorified When in Him we're most satisfied! He transforms us to glory The likeness of his Son Till one day we will be like Him When every deed is done But now as image bearers We seek to glorify The One who works within us- He'll complete us bye and bye God's will is working in us to will and do it all As we learn to walk worthy of t...

You Are I AM

Bread of Life in you we delight Light of the world you give us sight Door of our entry open wide Good Shepherd be my only guide You are I am, You are I am You are the first and the last Beyond the future and the past Source of reality Our sufficiency All found in you You are faithful and true. The way the truth and the life we’ve found The resurrection and the life abounds In our living vine we will abide To your holiness we flee and hide You are I am, You are I am You are the first and the last Beyond the future and the past Source of reality Our sufficiency All found in you You are faithful and true.
