Since the eve of Christmas Eve I've been sitting each evening by the light and warmth of this wood stove in my family's living room here in Georgetown, Colorado. Only two more nights after this evening and I'll be back in my recliner in Wayland, Massachusetts...
How much we need your warmth, Lord,
in this cold-blooded world
where chill of pride
and frost of self-protection nip
and numb our souls in frigid isolation...
How much we need your Spirit's spark
to light the splintered kindling
of our dwindling hopes and dreams,
to fan to life the light and warmth
our shivering hearts desire...
The gentle warmth of your heart, Lord,
a stream of mercy growing, flowing,
glowing bright with promise
and assurance of a love to melt
and thaw this winter's discontent...
While sitting by a wood stove, Lord,
I dream and pray for warmth divine
to wrap the world in fervor
for a light to shine upon the path
that leads us to your hearth...
Protect us, Lord while we're awake
and watch over us while we sleep
that awake, we might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.

The Lord of Ages is standing at my door
What will I do
The King of kings
and Lord of lords
Is reaching out His hand
Will I stand there and be
silent
Will I call on His name
Or will I fall down and humbly
proclaim
Melt my heart into Yours Lord
Take my will and use it only for
You
My life is not my own
I was made to worship You
Jesus change my
world around
Jesus turn my life upside down
Consuming Fire
Consume my
heart
Burn away my impurities
You spent Your days with sinners and
saints
Now You’ve come to me
How can I stand there and be silent
How can
I call on Your name
Lord now I fall down and humbly proclaim
Melt my
heart into Yours Lord
Take my will and use it only for You
My life is
not my own
I was made to worship You
Jesus change my world around
Jesus
turn my life upside down
