Alive in Front of Me Ben Ward, 2023
I don’t know why I doubt But sometimes I do I can come off highest highs But then feel like I am losing The thing that held me close to You I’m needing something fresh and something new You, I need You, Jesus I need You to be Somehow alive in front of me
Here You are Before me now And here I am At Your feet I bow Face to face God to man Holy here With peace I don’t understand

My heart’s burning Ben Ward, 2023
