Love the Lord Your God

Chorus:
Love the Lord your God
With all your heart and mind,
All your soul and strength
Love the Lord your God
With all your heart and mind,
All your soul and strength

Lay down your life
With your joy and your sorrow
Let your passions not pull you apart
Let Christ be the Master
Of all your emotions
Live your love for God with all your heart

CHORUS

Thoughts go parading
All day through your brain
Good and bad, ugly, cruel, and kind
But we capture each thought
By the power of the Spirit
This is how we love God with our minds

CHORUS

In Christ you died
And in Christ you have risen
All your brokenness He has made whole
Your identity dwells
In the fact you’re forgiven
Free to love the Lord with all your soul

CHORUS

More than enough
Think of all you've been given
Where another just walks, you have wings
But you won't be complete
Till you give to the needful
This is how you love God with your strength

CHORUS

How Fragile My Faith

How Fragile My Faith

Brian West

(chorus)
How fragile my faith
How precarious my prayers
How daring my doubt
Following my footsteps
Just a breath in front of God

Twenty-seven years ago
I made a promise to the sky
Shaking my small fist at Him
I never needed so to cry
"You have never left me,
Never let me get away,
But I have never wanted You
To hold me, 'til today."

CHORUS

I had to take a drive out West,
I had to get away from here
I had to see them face to face,
The few I hold so dear
My sister, crying with me, as I
Wept on her back porch--
I felt so far from God, she said,
"You don't need to anymore."

(bridge)
Is this hand from heaven
Someone I can trust,
Or is it hurting me?
Does He hold me out to dangle
Over the flame,
Or hold me to His breast,
like a child?

CHORUS

How fragile my faith
How precarious my prayers
I'm leaning on grace
The troubled waters of my heart
So need the calming breath of God...
