Born To Dream

written by Brooke-Lauren Montgomery

 

 

 

I have a dream, and it is mine,

I have a dream that I will find,
There it is, so big, so bright,

I wish I may, I wish I might

God has known before time,

This dream was born to be mine.

From my first cry, it was in me,

Till my final breath in me will it be.



Giver Of Life

written by Brooke-Lauren Montgomery

 

 

 

My heart and soul rejoice in You,

For You brought my beating heart to life.

You are The Light, and everything that's true,

My heart and soul rejoice in You.

Carry me through perilous storms, You do--

Before You gave me my first breath, You knew me, You knew my life.

My heart and soul rejoice in You,

For You brought my beating heart to Life.

 



The Power Of Bended Knee

Written by Brooke-Lauren Montgomery

 

 

 

When you see me on my knees, it doesn't mean I'm weak,

I'm getting stronger--through trials and temptations,

It's God's Face that I seek.

 

I've been a witness, and I have seen

What sight would take to believe,

The Power behind the bended knee.

 

When you see me on my knees, it doesn't mean I'm frail,

I'm getting stronger--through joy and through pain,

I have learned that in Him will I always prevail.

 

I have felt the indescribable Peace

When I've cried out in utter desperation

On my knees--my burdens I release.

 

When you see me on my knees, it doesn't mean I'm defeated,

For many pleading prayers are answered there,

Through His Word, my soul is completed.


 

Like hinges straining from the massive weight,

My heart shudders, almost stops in place,

Just before the strength bursts forth, and my  mind is set straight.

 

When you see me on my knees, it doesn't mean I've given up,

I'm getting stronger--through the darkest night,

He mends my ailing heart, smoothes out every hiccup.

 

Hope and Love spread through my heart like roots on a healthy tree--

I am amazed at what I see and what I feel

When limitless Power surges through bended knee.   

 



The Great I Am

You are

The One I love,

The One who carries me,

Who dries my tears-I am the one

You love

 

 

 



The Wonder of The Soul

Written by Brooke-Lauren Montgomery

 

 

 

 

Love--what is love my soul does wonder on this night?

It has been taken all in vain.

 

Love  is replaced by what is known as Lust,

Sex has replaced what love once knew,

So beautiful and true was it before--

Now it is hidden, craftily disguised behind Lust's greedy eyes.

Will I get lucky on this night, we ask,

Instead of knowing this one fragile soul.

For when we choose to come together with another,

Without a wedding band upon the finger,

It is not making love, for it's not true--

It's Lust behind a mask of Love.

It is about a void we all long to be filled--

The missing puzzle piece that's in the heart of all.

When patience has defeated the impatient heart,

Love will present itself at the right time--

When it is truly love, it feels so right.

And happiness, it shall burst forth

Just like a geyser aiming for the sun,

To quench the rampant fi-re burning deep within the soul.

But Love today-- it's so distorted now,

Been twisted this way, twisted that way 'til

It is no longer recognizable.

Love--what is love, my soul does wonder on this night?

It's beautiful, deep in the heart,

Created by a loving God--

To have, to hold,

To treasure still,

Until our hearts shall beat no more.

Love--this is love my soul has found on this exquisite night.



When I'm Home

Written by Brooke-Lauren Montgomery

in remembrace of Julia O. Montgomery



               

                You wait for me where you are free to roam,

                Where sorrow’s gone and death is left behind,

                So I won’t fret, I’ll see you when I’m Home.

                And where the sea is beautiful with foam,

                Where illness is no more, pain cannot bind,

                You wait for me where you are free to roam.

                You’re waiting there beneath Love’s massive dome,

                Where hate is gone and there is peace of mind,

                So I won’t fret, I’ll see you when I’m Home.

                It’s where the broken hearted do not groan,

                I’ll see you there, you won’t be hard to find,

                You wait for me where you are free to roam.

                It’s where the lonely never walk alone,

                Where perfect’s true and nothing good’s confined,

                So I won’t fret, I’ll see you when I’m Home.

                You’re where all things are made anew and known,

                And where our eyes no longer will be blind,

                You wait for me where you are free to roam,

                So I won’t fret, I’ll see you when I’m Home.

My First Love--Jesus Christ

Written by Brooke-Lauren Montgomery

           My first love was unseen

            Yet the changes He made in me were visual

            First love lies

            Inside my fragile heart

            Resting at peace

            Still waters inside my chest, my entire being

            Trusting Him forever, for it was He Who

            Loved me first

            Only He can

            Vanquish the fiery arrows of the

            Enemy

            Just as I was, I went to Him-and

            Entered my heart, did He, when I was six

            Salvation restored my soul for eternity

            Under sin’s curse was I when born, but He

            Saved my very soul because He loved me

            Crushed for my iniquities

            How great was the cost

            Rose again after death took him for three days

            I’m alive in Him, faultless to

            Stand before the throne because

            The nails washed me as white as snow

You Are written by Brooke-Lauren Montgomery

I am in devout liturgy,
Open to You in sheer silence--

Made Adam from dust,
Eve from bone,
You are vital to my soul.

You are Central Strength and Light,
My burdens You bare.

I am clay,
I once was empty, gray.
I wake and rise,
You are my Song.

We wait--
And we long,
Comes from within
And flows outward.
We take it all in,
And let it all pour out--
Comforts and sooths.

We search,
We yearn,
Displayed through touch,
Through feelings,
Ricochet's off the walls of our minds--

Never failing,
Always persevering,
Hopes in all things,
Keeps us going,
Keeps us connected,
Holds no wrongs,
Forgives--not once, not twice,
But seventy times seven,

Equal to a cross and three nails,
The greatest Sacrifice for you and me.
