Puddles of Grace

I am so amazed at God’s grace!  He is so full of compassion and mercy, even when we aren’t the least bit deserving. There is one incident in particular that catapulted this song into being. The words flooded my mind. I didn’t sit down to write this song - it wrote itself as I bathed in the graciousness of God.

The Lord came through and graciously blessed us when we were in dire need. My husband and I ran outside to shout praises unto the Lord and I felt like I was being showered in His love and joy. I felt like His grace was pouring all over me and dripping down on me, making a pool at my feet. I wanted to splash in it and dance in puddles of grace.

PUDDLES OF GRACE

I am awe struck at such a tangible expression

You show to me,

It is a mystery how you can keep on giving

When I am totally undeserving, so unworthy,

Could never earn it.

CHORUS:

Yet you shower me with your love,

Oh you shower me with your joy,

You pour it out, you don’t withhold,

And I’m splashing in your blessings

And dancing puddles of grace,

Oh I’m dancing in puddles of grace.

I want to thank you from the deepest part of me,

It’s surging in my soul.

I’ve got to lift my hands and feel you in the breeze

And we’ll rejoice together, I’ll celebrate you,

Jehovah Jireh.

CHORUS:

And you shower me with your love,

Oh you shower me with your joy,

You pour it out, you don’t withhold,

And I’m splashing in your blessings

And dancing puddles of grace,

Oh I’m dancing in puddles of grace.

BRIDGE:

And you give; you give with such abandon,

Like the blood, the blood you spilled for my sin,

Every drop, you let it fall,

You could have called ten thousand angels,

But you loved me more.


Don't Need To Fear

Sample of "Don't Need To Fear"  {mp3 width="50" height="10"}samp_Dont_Need_To_Fear{/mp3}

After my miscarriage, I conceived three months later. I was so happy, but completely overwhelmed with fear. I was paralyzed. I didn’t want to move in case I lost the baby. I was so afraid of losing another baby.  In a desperate prayer to God, I told Him I didn’t want to fear and have all my joy suffocated in its clutches.

He answered me with perfect peace and engraved this message in my heart.  “I don’t have to fear, and I don’t need to fear, for I am in the grip of His hand forever more” I knew from then on that my future was in God’s hands and He wants the best for me. Even when it doesn’t go as I have planned, God has a bigger vision in mind.

It was a wonderful fear-free pregnancy and I gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Chalice Hosanna, meaning “a beautiful vessel of praise unto God.”

DON’T NEED TO FEAR 

CHORUS:

I don’t want to fear any more,

I don’t have to fear any more,

I don’t need to fear any more,

For I am in the grip of your hand

forever more.

I’m so overwhelmed,

Desperation clinging to my bones

And You’re the only one

Who sees the pain I uncover when I’m alone.

I don’t need to let these shadows lurk,

Open my eyes, let your light flood in,

All the anguish of my soul is worth

Nothing when I remember you are King.

CHORUS:

I don’t want to fear any more,

I don’t have to fear any more,

I don’t need to fear any more,

For I am in the grip of your hand

forever more.

You were with them in a pillar of fire

And a cloud by night,

And you are with me, the Holy Ghost,

A still, small voice at night

Saying. . .

I’ll stay with you forever,

I’ll be there when you laugh or grieve,

I’ll trace your steps across the earth,

When you fall you can lean on Me.

CHORUS THREE TIMES.


Chosen

Sample of "Chosen"

This song was written about the miracle of conception and pregnancy.  How amazing to think we are chosen by God to be the mother of a child He has planed before the beginning of time! What awe! It is such an honor and a privilege for God to place life within our wombs.

There is a twist to this song as it is also about Mary the mother of Jesus and how it must have felt to be the chosen one, singled out to bare our Savior. The first part of the chorus is taken straight from the Bible in Luke 1-46. It is the song of Mary when she sings, “My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.”

The Moment You Came

Sample of  "The Moment You Came"  {mp3 width="50" height="10"}samp_The_Moment_You_Came{/mp3}

I suspect that every woman feels the same way I do when the weeks turn into days and the moment of birth is not far away. All I can think about is seeing this new little baby. What will it look like? My arms ache to hold it. Although I know there will be pain in the delivery, I still long for the moment to arrive. The anticipation pushes the fear away.

I don’t know how anyone can experience birth, or even witness a birth, and deny there is a God. It is the miracle of all miracles. The big bang theory just doesn’t cut it when you see that new life slip out and stare wide-eyed at his new world. It is so evident and so absolutely convincing that there is a Creator. How wonderful that we can have a relationship with Him.

I love to talk about birth and hear other woman’s birth stories. This song is the story of my third birth. How beautiful it was. I couldn’t stop thanking my Lord for this experience and for the new life he’d given to my husband and me.

THE MOMENT YOU CAME

Longing to see you,

Every day felt like a week.

And I just wanted to see

Your face.

Yearning to hold you,

When it finally was time

These paths of yours and mine

Forever entwine.

Gentle at first,

Then it grew strong,

And I didn’t know if I could carry on,

I cried out for mercy and I know that God heard me

For oh…

CHORUS:

Divinely and wondrously, amazingly, you came through.

I touched you and I fell so

Tenderly, powerfully, utterly in love with you.

And the joy replaced all the pain

The moment you came.

Now looking at you, every smile you give to me

Is a treasure that I keep in my heart,

I’ve learned so much from you,

Never knew this kind of love,

One that costs so much, but never gives up.

Gentle at first,

Then it grew strong,

And I didn’t know if I could carry on,

I cried out for mercy and I know that God heard me

For oh…

CHORUS:

Divinely and wondrously, amazingly, you came through.

I touched you and I fell so

Tenderly, powerfully, utterly in love with you.

And the joy replaced all the pain

The moment you came.

El Shaddai

Sample of  "El Shaddai"  {mp3 width="50" height="10"}samp_El_Shaddai{/mp3}

Pearl and I have been to many of our mother’s retreats and seminars and have heard our mother speaking about motherhood from the cradle onwards.  We are never bored with her message and always come home more refreshed each time. Each time she shares another beacon of truth it lights a foggy path in my mind.

The one thing that always leaves an impression on me is when she speaks on the words El Shaddai, which literally means the mother heart of God, or the breast of God.  Motherhood originated in God’s heart and He has placed his nurturing love in every woman. We are made to mother, to nurture, and to touch the world with the tenderness that originates in God’s heart.

Motherhood… what a beautiful design!

Serene Allison

EL SHADDAI

Slumber pulls the shades on sleepy eyes,

Lashes rest on ruby cheeks,

We rock in time.

I want to linger here

And bask in sweet reflections thankfully.

Joy sublime.

Feelings flood, thoughts seem to dance

With love and pure delight,

It comes so naturally to be the mother of this child.

CHORUS:

El Shaddai, in Your image am I,

El Shaddai, Creator of the Lullaby.

Deep within your heart You hold the source

For everything that’s tender,

Soft and kind.

To caress the world the world with warm affection

You thought of a mother -

Beautiful design.

And as I hold this baby in my arms

I’m like a picture of You

To nurture with your love is what you made me to do.

CHORUS.
