45 Days

When only 45 days seems like forever, Jesus reminds us that all we need to deal with is today.

Aslan, by Kendall Payne

Don't stop your crying on my account

A frightening lion, no doubt

He's not safe, no He's not safe
Are you tempted now to run away?

The King above all Kings is coming down

But He won't say the words you wish that He would
Oh, He don't do the deeds you know that He could
He won't think the thoughts you think He should
But He is good, He is good

I know you're thirsty, the water is free
But I should warn you, it costs everything
Well, He's not fair, no He's not fair
When He fixes what's beyond repair
And graces everyone that don't deserve

But He won't say the words you wish that He would
Oh, He don't do the deeds you know that He could
He won't think the thoughts you think He should
But He is good, He is good

No one knows Him whom eyes never seen
No, I don't know Him but He knows me
He knows me, He knows me

Lay down your layers, shed off your skin
But without His incision, you can't enter in
He cuts deep, yeah He cuts deep
When the risk is great and the talk is cheap
But never leaves a wounded one behind

But He won't say the words you wish that He would
Oh, He don't do the deeds you know that He could
He won't think the thoughts you think He should
But He is good, He is good

Pray, by Kendall Payne

I will pray for you now, for you have been my faithful friends

While the road we walk is difficult indeed

I couldn't not ask for more than what you've already been

Only that you would say these prayers for me

May your heart break enough that compassion enters in

May your strength all be spent upon the weak

All the castles and crowns you build and place upon your head

May they all fall, come crashing down around your feet

May you find every step to be harder than the last

So your character grows greater each stride

May your company be of humble insignificance

May your weakness be your only source of pride

What you do unto others may it all be done to you

May you meet the One who made us

And see Him smile when life is through

May your blessings be many but not what you hoped they'd be

And when you look upon the broken

May mercy show you what you could not see

May you never be sure of any plans you desire

But you'd learn to trust the plan He has for you

May your passions be tried and tested in the holy fire

May you fight with all your life for what is true

I have prayed for you now all my dear and faithful friends

But what I wish is more than I could ever speak

As the way wanders on I'll long to see you once again

Until then, would you pray these prayers for me?

Oh, that you would pray for me
