He Knows

Can you close your eyes

From something you don't want to see?
Can you walk away
From someplace you don't want to be?

Is it true you can be
"right place, right time?"
Is there really coincidence
Or is luck just in your mind?

If God tells you to go,
There's already a plan.
He knows why you're there,
Your life in His hands.

So you don't need to worry
About your luck running out.
God knows the whole story,
No reason to doubt.

Just trust in your Savior.
Know His way is best.
Believe in his power.
Put hope in nothing less.

God wants you to be there,
Even when you're not sure.
Know He knows best,
And change how you were.

There's no such thing as luck.
Coincidence is a lie,
When you trust in your Jesus,
And head for the sky.

Broken & Beautiful

How can something so beautiful
be so broken?
When something looks like that,
what do you put hope in?

Or is it the brokenness
that makes it beautiful?
Would it be the same,
would we feel its pull?

The beauty is all around,
you just have to find it.
From the mountains to the city,
There's no place it won't fit.

You can't heal the broken,
You can't change the past.
The only thing to do
Is something that will last.

Bring light to the hurting,
Chase the darkness away.
Because when you bring Jesus,
He promises to stay.

Reflect the Son.
Bring hope to all places.
Give love to the world,
And brighten the faces.

When something has Jesus,
No matter how small,
His love will spread,
Just wait for your call.
