The Greatest Giver

The Greatest Giver
By: Adrielle R. Bollin

The glory of your creation surrounds my being
All that I see is yours for the freeing
Yet all you have given as a gift for my days
To show me your love in extravagant ways

From the mountains on high to the rivers that flow
To the ancient far places to the newest swimming holes
From the jungles and forests to the deserts and plains
The world is your message of provision and grace

Though darkness will fall and cover the earth
You gave us the moon to inspire our mirth
As you wrap us in beauty with a blanket of lights
We 're inspired to reflect your love and shine bright

How greatly you love that you give us all this
Yet still more you provide though betrayed with a kiss
For all of creation could not fill our hungry hearts
So you sent us your son with full passion to impart

And when him we slayed on the cross of your peace
You sent us your ghost to complete the divine three
To instruct, to speak and to help guide our course
So your message of love is spread wide from the source

The Woman At The Well

 The Woman at the Well

By:  Adrie'lle R. Bollin

How is it that you speak to me

When all the rules say that I am unclean

You are holy and purest of love

I am unruly and steady as mud

Yet because of your son you look past what I see

Deep in my heart you find gold finely weaved

So life is your language and joy is your key

Unlocking potential and casting out grief

 Slowly you guide my feet to your path

Patiently waiting though I get off track

Walking and talking with me all the while

Relishing each of my laughs and my smiles

<sup>John 4:9, 10

9</sup> The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans)¹⁰ Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”

 Like a lake as calm as glass am I,

Still til I hear your voice

 Grateful and full of praise am I,
Declaring again my choice

The rhythm is forming into song

A slowly building revelation

Then like a touch on the water,
 My soul ripples with new jubilation

I jump to my feet with a dance
Your holy fire ignites in my bones
Your word pours out of my mouth
And darkness recedes to the unknowns

As I celebrate into the night
All evil is gone from my sight
All the troubles I thought I had
Died hard in the perilous fight

The Beginning of a Dream

The Beginning of a Dream

By: Adrielle R. Bollin

You take me to places I've never been

Inspire me to walk with you on the wind

Called me to dream and co-labor with you

Demolished the locusts of yesteryear's coo

My heart is ablaze knowing you have heard me

Rescued my soul from every treachery

Promised me life in abundance with you

Beckoning me to walk in your shoes

Hallelujah, my heart sings to you

For your greatness and beauty is full in my view

And your grace has helped me to clearly see

Your love never fails and with you I'm free

Remind Me Who I Am

"Remind Me Who I Am"
By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

Some days can be so lonely
When everyone is looking at themselves
They say hurting people hurt others
Sometimes people just don't think at all

Then I look around and see the pain
And I'm reeling cause I feel the same

It's like a desert
With pouring rain
I don't know what to do
With the flood I'm in

Til you     Wipe those lies away
Til you     Turn my face your way

Remind me who I am
The daughter of the Lamb

When my joy is stripped and shaken down
And all I see is gray all around
You paint my soul to life
With colors so true and bright

Then when all my tears are dried
And I can stand in your might

It's like a desert
With pouring rain
And I'm awestruck
Seeing life again

And you     Lift my spirits high
And you     Dance with me to the sky

Reminding me who I am
I'm the daughter of the Lamb
