    by Daniel Piper We’re all hanging on by a thread of God’s grace. Molecules caught up in the dance of time and space. Moments flee and oxygen is finite but the love of one another can burn forever bright. Accolades tarnish and titles fade but the Spirit of God will never fade. Stars are born…

    written Daniel Piper Lord my soul needs you like my body needs air and water. There’s a piece of my heart desiring to wander away farther and farther. You rescued this lost sheep from chains and darkness. You saw my wounded heart in pain and agony. Like how you picked up the cross, I need…

    written by Daniel Piper I am the Lord’s and the Lord is mine. Jesus lives inside of me and His light has to shine. It’s taken time to transform my mind. To realize I am the dwelling place of the Divine. The enemy lies and tries to corrupt my thinking; without Christ I’m a lost…

    written by Daniel Piper My future is a blessing. My future is a crown. My future is a treasure that I am never putting down. My future is a dream. My future is a place. My future is a narrow road that leads right to God’s face. My future is a promise. My future is…

    written by Daniel Piper I am found when this piece of ground breathes in the spirit of life. The Word of God is life. I am not life. Life does not come from me. I have been given life by the Creator. Granted to become a product of the Word of God. The Word is…

    written by Daniel Piper Jesus died a death I can’t even fathom. Arms stretched out to be nailed and he still closed the chasm. My sins left me alone and so far from the Father. No matter what I do, shame is the outcome of trying harder. I give up and pray Jesus hears my…

    written by Daniel Piper I crave your love and grace like oxygen. I am nothing but dust. Frailty and weakness define my bones. Who is there to hold me and seek me when my flesh is no more? Who is there? There is only one who gives life. There’s only one who gathers life into…

    written by Daniel Piper My feet run to a dwelling place that is safe and secure. My soul yearns for a hope that is promised to be true. My mind races to a peace that is like no other. My heart aches for a joy that never subsides. My strength fights for the pathways of…

    written by Daniel Piper I want my eyes to gaze upon Your glory and beauty. Psalm 27:4 I want my hands to just do the work of Your will. Psalm 90:17 I want my mouth to just speak the gentle truth of who You are. Zechariah 8:16 I want my feet to walk the road…

    written by Daniel Piper As we pierced you, Jesus, with sin and death; may you pierce our hearts with Your divine love and grace. As you let go of Your Holy throne to become like mortal man; may I let go of myself to invite you onto the throne of my heart. As you hung…
