Lyrics/Poetry by Yvette Walker

“Joy, Positively”

Let me tell you a story of positivity
about a man who gave his life for you and me
Jesus went to the grave … SAVED!
An act of love? Absolutely.
An act of joy? Positively
Joy ... positively

Choose joy, positively
It’s a choice to make, not automatically
God’s choice was grave, not saving the son
Grace won! Love’s IDENTITY.
An act of joy … positively
joy … positively

“Heart of the Father (the prodigal)”

It surely broke your heart
When your son demanded payment
Like a ransom he did take it
Such a premature inheritance
 
And as he walked away
From his only home of care
You knew the cold world out there
Would catch him up in its snare
 
Chorus
But the heart of the father is bigger
than the yearnings of the son
A love stronger than desires undone
He’d be back craving, longing for home
And once again he would be your own
And the heart of the father waits alone
 
Money doesn’t last long
Out in the world
Of parties, women, drugs
It  all was a blur
 
When slop and garbage
began to look good
He remembered another life
filled with comfort and food
 
[Repeat chorus]
 
Listen, you can’t hide from within
You can’t outrun past sins
Just run into his arms
The one who’s waiting, he’s waiting

But the heart of the father is bigger
than the yearnings of the son
A love stronger than desires undone
He’d be back craving, longing for home
And once again he would be your own
And the heart of the father waits alone

“Armor of Prayer”

No shield, no sword,
just the smooth stones of Your words
I sing to the Heavens
I sling with holy reverence

I fight for you
through praise and supplication
Protected by your Grace
I will not lose this race

Chorus
This is my armor of prayer
Against a world coming for me
I need no habit or care
Spirit of love surround me

Overmatched,
like David fighting a Goliath
A ten-ton giant
Defying your armies

But your servant beats
this boastful Philistine
With the words You send
My devotion never ends

[Repeat Chorus]

Enemies may come against me,
But I come in the name of Lord Almighty!
Enemies may come against me,
But I sing in the name of Lord Almighty!
Enemies may come against me,
But I shout in the name of Lord Almighty!

“He is Enough”

So you think your life is less than sufficient
And you never find the strength to stay the distance
Just remember, it’s so simple,

So you think your job is truly underwhelming
And you think you are not loved, you feel abandoned
Never worry, you’re in no hurry.

He is enough
He is enough
He is enough
He is enough

Stop looking for perfection
Grace is everything you need
Stop going your own way
Stop craving what you think you need
‘Cause all you really need …

He is enough
He is enough
He is enough
He is enough

A life sufficient (in the Father)
Strength to stay the distance (in my Lord)
True fulfillment (in Christ Jesus)
No abandonment (in my God)

He is enough
He is enough
He is enough

And through all this … He is enough
