Come Sit By My Fire
(Trevor Toews, November2, 2019)
COME SIT BY MY FIRE, I WILL SHARE IT WITH YOU
ALL THAT MY FIRE AFFORDS
ITS WARMTH AND ITS LIGHT , THAT IT GIVES TO ALL
WHO CHOOSE TO GATHER AROUND
WE CAN SHARE OF ITS WARMTH, SHARE OF ITS LIGHT
BE BLESSED BY THE GIFTS THAT IT BRINGS
BY DAY OR BY NIGHT, EACH SEASON IT GIVES
A REASON TO GATHER AROUND
WE CAN SHARE OF OUR STORIES, REMEMBER THE GLORIES
OF VIC’TRIES WON IN THE PAST
REMEMBER THE ONES, NO LONGER ALIVE
AND SHARE OF EACH OTHER’S TEARS
WE CAN SHARE IN THE MEALS , THAT MY FIRE PREPARES
AND SIT CONTENT EACH DAY
AND WHEN WE SLEEP , IT OFFERS PROTECTION
FROM HARMS THAT WANDER AT NIGHT
I WILL LAUGH WHEN YOU LAUGH , CRY WHEN YOU CRY
WALK THROUGH THIS LIFE WITH YOU
SHARE ALL THAT IS MINE , AND BE THANKFUL FOR YOU
EACH DAY THAT WE HAVE TO SHARE
I WILL SHARE ALL THESE BLESSINGS , THAT COME FROM MY FIRE
IF YOU WILL COME SIT WITH ME
THE TRAILS OF LIFE , ARE MADE BETTER WITH FRIENDS
WHO CHOOSE TO COME SIT BY MY FIRE
Rest

FATHER GOD I LOVE YOUR WAYS
THOUGH PAST FINDING OUT, THEY GUIDE MY DAYS
THEY'VE BEEN EFFECTIVE, THROUGH-OUT MY LIFE
AND BRING ONLY BLESSINGS, EACH DAY OF MY LIFE
SOMETIMES THEY HURT, BUT ALWAYS THEY HEAL
SOMETIMES THEY BURN, WITH AMAZING ZEAL
ALWAYS AMAZING, ALWAYS TRUE
THE WAYS THAT YOU KEEP ME, IN LOVE WITH YOU
EACH DAY I ARISE, YOU WAIT FOR ME THERE
SILENTLY, EAGERLY, MEETING ME THERE
YOU LEAD ME IN WAYS, WHICH I COULD NOT HAVE PLANNED
BUT I ALWAYS SUCCEED, WHILE HOLDING YOUR HANDS
AT THE END OF EACH DAY, I MARVEL AND SAY
HOW HAVE I MADE IT, THROUGH-OUT THIS DAY
THE PITFALLS, THE TRIALS, THAT YOU CARRIED ME THROUGH
WOULD HAVE SWALLOWED ME UP, IF NOT FOR YOU
AT THE END OF MY LIFE, I'LL FIND YOU THERE
TOGETHER ALONE, JUST ME AND YOU
ME ON MY FACE, AND YOU GLORIFIED
FOR ALL OF YOUR GRACE, THAT GOT ME THROUGH
FOREVER WILL NEVER BE NEAR, ENOUGH
TO GIVE YOU THE PRAISE, THAT YOU DESERVE
FOR GIVING ME LIFE, THAT I HAVE LIVED
YOU'VE SPARED ME FROM HELL, THAT I TRULY DESERVE
SO THANKS BE TO JESUS, WHO SUFFERED AND DIED
FOR SOULS SUCH AS I, THAT YOU DID NOT DENY
SOULS THAT, ALONE, BENT TO CHEAT AND LIE
SOULS THAT, WITHOUT JESUS, ARE JUST BORN - THEN DIE
Enter My Rest
(Trevor Toews, July 21, 2021)
SON YOU’RE TOO BUSY, YOU OUGHT NOT TO BE
THOUGH THERE WILL BE TIMES, I WILL CALL YOU TO BE
RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW, I HAVE CALLED YOU TO REST
I KNOW WHAT YOU NEED, I KNOW WHAT IS BEST
BECAUSE YOU ARE MORTAL, YOU NEED YOUR REST
YOUR MORTAL FRAME, REQUIRES THE REST
WHEN, I CALL UPON YOU SON TO SUCCEED
IT WILL REQUIRE MORE STRENGTH THAN YOU NEED
YOU WILL THEN NEED, MY ANOINTING INDEED
NO STRENGTH OF THE FLESH, WILL EVER SUCCEED
ALL YOU NEED DO, IS TO COME AWAY
WITHDRAW FROM THE HURRY, OF THE DAY
HERE IN THE SILENCE, HERE IN THE CALM
IS WHERE YOU WILL FIND, YOUR HEALING BALM
NOTHING IS NEEDED, FOR YOU TO BRING
JUST COME AND BE BLESSED, WHILE I SING
I’LL SING MY LOVE SONG, OVER YOU
THAT’S ALL, MY SON, YOU NEED TO DO
SO TRUST IN MY PROMISE, ENTER MY REST
BEFORE YOU BURN-OUT, I MAKE MY REQUEST
CEASE FROM YOUR STRIVING, I DON’T NEED YOUR BEST
WALK IN MY GRACE, THIS IS THE BEST
THEN WHEN YOUR JOURNEY, IS COMPLETE
AND YOU APPROACH MY JUDGEMENT SEAT
YOU WILL HEAR ME SAY WELL DONE MY SON
ENTER MY JOY THAT IS SWEET, SO, SWEET
Still
(Trevor Toews, January 28, 2022)
YOU CALL ME TO COME
TO COME AND BE STILL
BE STILL IN YOUR HOLY PRESENCE
WHEN ALL THAT SURROUNDS ME
BELLERS AND SCREAMS
FOR ATTENTION AND ACTION AND TIME
BUT HERE AM I LORD
BECAUSE YOU HAVE CALLED ME
TO COME AND BE STILL WITH YOU HERE
IN PATIENCE I WAIT
TO HEAR WHAT YOU SAY
THAT BRINGS PEACE TO A RESTLESS SOUL
I REST IN YOUR PRESENCE
IN PEACE AND REST
WAITING FOR YOU TO INSTILL
THE REST THAT YOU PROMISED
TO FOLKS WHO WILL COME
WHO NEED PEACE FOR THEIR WEARY SOULS
YOU’LL BE MY GOD
AND I’LL BE YOUR SON
THROUGH-OUT THE REST OF MY LIFE
TO WALK HAND IN HAND
WITH MY FATHER OF LIGHTS
FOREVER AT PEACE WITH YOU
SOON IT BE
THAT I’LL WALK THROUGH THE VEIL
THAT KEEPS ME FROM SEEING YOU LORD
THEN FOREVER MORE
IN YOUR PRESENCE I’LL BE
AT PEACE AND AT REST AND STILL
I Love The Holy Trinity
(Trevor Toews, April 5, 2022)
I LOVE THE HOLY TRINITY
BECAUSE THEY CARE FOR YOU AND ME
BECAUSE THEY HEARD MY HUMBLE PLEA
AND WASHED MY SINFUL SPIRIT CLEAN
I LOVE MY FATHER GOD FOR SURE
FOR SENDING JESUS; TRUE AND PURE
FOR MY SALVATION; HE SECURED
FOR GRANTING ME THIS HOPEFUL CURE
I LOVE JESUS; THAT’S FOR SURE
FOR THE RANSOM HE SECURED
FOR THE CROSS; WHAT HE ENDURED
PROVIDING SALVATION; HE ENSURED
I LOVE GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT DEAR
FOR REMINDING US THAT GOD IS NEAR
FOR GIVING PEACE; REMOVING ALL FEAR
FOR SPEAKING GOD’S WORD WHEN LIFE IS UNCLEAR
