Only Love Remains ~ JJ Heller

Scenes of you come rushing through
You are breaking me down
So break me into pieces
That will grow in the ground
I know that I deserve to die
For the murder in my heart
So be gentle with me Jesus
As you tear me apart

Please kill the liar
Kill the thief in me
You know that I am tired of their cruelty
Breathe into my spirit
Breathe into my veins
Until only love remains

You burn away the ropes that bind
And hold me to the earth
The fire only leaves behind whatever is of worth
I begin to see reality
For the first time in my life
I know that I'm a shadow
But I'm dancing in your light

Teach me to be humble
Call me from the grave
Show me how to walk with you upon the waves
Breathe into my spirit
Breathe into my veins
Until only love remains

You Are Here

In the midst of my longing, You are there.
In the loneliness of the night, You are there.
In the frustration of humanity, You are there.

When the tears roll down my face, You are there.
When my heart hurts and longs in a tangible way, You are there.
When all I want to do is run, You are there.
When I’m overwhelmed and want to quit, You are there.

You are there...holding me up
You are there...no matter what I feel
You are there...faithful
You are there...forever faithful

Are you there?
Or are you here?

You are here.

You are here.
Closer than my own soul.
Closer than anyone could ever be.
You know me better than I know myself.
How could I not trust you?

Your Hands

Your hands are real-more real than any others
Your hands can wipe away my tears
Your hands can heal the wounds in my heart
Your hands can fill every empty place
Your hands protect me, shield me, shape me, mold me, hold me
In Your hands is where I belong
Your hands.
They are the hands of a father
The hands of a brother
The hands of a lover
In Your hands I have all I need
Reveal this to me more
For in Your hands is where I choose to be.
