Lock your eyes upon Jesus

lock your eyes upon Jesus 

look full in His wonderfull face

hear Him wisper through the storm

feel His embrace when all of you is torn

i wanna share this vision of me that keeps playing in my head

im serounded by an ocean that has no end.

im walking on water, on bare feet and a white dress.

im all alone and as i look around all i can see are waves of water.

now all of the sudden the ocean starts rising up and begins a war between light and dark.

its like a hudge tornado serounding me.

at this point there is nothing i can do anymore.

so i stop and close my eyes.

with a raging heart beat i force myself to keep breathing.

i spread my arms wide open and turn my head up to heaven.

i open my eyes and there i look full in His wonderfull face.

i instantly lock my eyes upon Jesus.

i will never look the other way cause if i do, fear will take over and that means: i will drown.

now the sea is still in heavy battle and there is no way of surving.

but im standing in this circle that has never been so calm and peacefull.

nothing can come close, no wave can come against me, it's unbelievable!

so i start to sing a melodie, still having my eyes locked upon His eyes!

and as i still have my arms wide open i start to sore with Him upon the wind.

carried on eagles wings serounded by angels im now high above the storm, safe in His gaze.. as long as i have my eyes locked upon His eyes i will fear no evil!

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you - Isaiah 43:2


now what this means to  me:

life is a storm. 
not always but it's a constant battle untill we are in heaven

i think we all walk on water through life

and we need to turn our eyes upon Jesus cause if we dont

we will drown

can you please imagine my vision..

place yourself in that circle and think about everything that is trying to make you drown

now turn your eyes up to heaven

your now safe in His gaze..

nothing can come against you

dont let the world, people, situations tear you apart

cause there is a greater God that has promised us to

keep us safe and to sore with us above the storm!

give it all to Jesus

my dad always sings this to me when i feel like i can't go on anymore
i remember laying in bed in tears fighting against darkness but then when he held me in his arms
and sang this to me i felt the peace and comfort of Jesus coming over me
i wanna share this with you cause if it helps me it can help others..

Are you tried of chasing pretty rainbows

Are you tired of spinning round and round

Wrap up all the shattered dreams of your life

and at the feet of Jesus lay them down

Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus

Shattered dreams wounded hearts broken toys

Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus

And He will turn your sorrow into joy

He never said you would only see sunshine

He never said there would be no rain

He only promised us a heart full of singing

That's the very thing that once brought pain

Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus

Shattered dreams wounded hearts broken toys

Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus

And He will turn your sorrow into joy

endure

Everybody has hearts desires

mine is to sing life to the nations

and to become the woman after the heart of God!

i wish it was this easy..

thoughts come to mind that causes confusion

and emotions breake lose that sets ur heart up for illusion

it's a constant battle between heart and mind

my mind cries out desperately in times when my heart is weak

but im tired of this endless roller coaster between happiness and sorrow

so i close my eyes and take a deep breath

and think about all that's left.

if i live an unhappy life then what's the point of living it?

if i can but keep on believing, i can endure this moment of what i know in my heart to be true

i have come close to sharing myself, never really revealing anything to anyone.

feelings are invisable and when i dream reality shatter before my very eyes.

at times the glimmer in my eyes slowely dissapears

but within my heart a fire burns without any fears!

The bible says God has the best in store for us

so i remind myself as memories turn to dust
