“Open”

| Laura Lee Bonde

open my mind
to close
open my heart
to hear
open my ears
to see where You are

so close
so present
so near

open my mind
to close
open my heart
to hear
open my ears
to see where You are

so close
so open
so near

A Dance in Glory

| Laura Lee Bonde

Many times, I’m told that people were drawn to look at me while I was dancing with flags, but as soon as they caught themselves, they apologized to God and looked away, but I’m not totally convinced that watching people worship’s a bad thing. Countless times, I’ve found myself watching others worship because of they way they were worshiping; it had drawn me deeper into the heart of God.

Last night, I had an amazing time dancing with God during worship. Youknow, the phrase for my business is “worship flags that release God’s glory.” That phrase was written for a reason, and I believe people are drawn the glory I’m dancing in, not necessarily me.

I picture it this way: everything God’s done in me and through me pours into my dance, and it gives Him glory, which He gives right back to me. I think THAT’s what people see. Although, I could be wrong. I’ve just heard many people have repented for watching me during worship, and I’m not sure they need to.

“Expecting”

| Laura Lee Bonde

thank you LORD
for the beautiful things
that come from me
and remain to be seen

I owe you Lord
every breath I take
every move I make
I love You

I
hear Your voice
so
call my name
I
will follow You
with
a life unashamed

I owe you Lord
every breath I take
every move I make
I love You

thank you LORD
for the beautiful things
that come from me
and remain to be seen

“Just Me”

| Laura Lee Bonde

I’m not like anyone else
just me
and there are moments when that’s great
and there are other moments

I wish I always saw through God’s eyes
always saw the heart
just the heart

in myself
in others
in Him

I worship the way I worship
I dance the way I dance
sometimes drool when I sleep
I’m just me
and when I walk in my shoes
there’s Power

What’s in a Song

| Laura Lee Bonde

Recently, I heard a prayer like ‘God, I want to go wherever You go,’ and immediately, I felt differently…in a good way.

I realize we “follow” God and want to go wherever He goes, but it’s really only His voice we’re following because as Christians, He goes wherever WE go. Jesus lives in me…period, and wherever I step my foot, He goes. That’s why we go into dark places…because we release the Kingdom that’s inside of us.

I used to agree with almost everything I heard in church but not anymore. Continue reading →
