The Beauty in Silence
Driving through, my windows down
My mind drifts far away
Never thought it’d be so hard to leave yesterday
All this muck inside my head, I wanna think of you instead
Distractions turn obsession, spinning me around
_
Oh You quiet me
All this noise has made void
You silence me
You’ve been speaking all along
_
Skipping beats and restless souls
Wandering away
Unforgiving torment beckons me to stay
Fuzzy words peak on the wave, oh why can’t I escape
Your love is raining down, my past cannot control
_
Your grace covers all these voices of regret
There is beauty in the silence.

My All
So in love with you today, Thankful for the many ways
You hold my heart safe in your hands and share your promise of a plan
no matter how the story bends, I know your love will never end
I resting in your arms
_
You are the Lord of all my life
You are my eyes when I can’t see
You form the road beneath my feet
You are the calm in my heart’s storm
You chase away my deepest fears
You shatter doubts and make it clear
God, You are my all.
_
Though I wrestle with my will You hold fast and keep me still
You fashioned me and guide my steps, You search my heart and know my depths
When I fall into your arms, I am rescued from all harm
I’m safe within your care.
_
Oh how can I stand without you holding me up?
How can I run without your breath in my lungs?
How can I love without your grace in my heart?
How can I live without you?
——————————————————————–
With Your Heart
Every morning, every night
Every moment of my life
I am courted, treasured, sought
by your everlasting heart
You give me joy
You shield my life with your valiant protection
You surround me
You mend my heart
You cause my feet to move in your direction
You surround me
With Your love
All my longings, all my desires
All my visions to inspire
None can hide, no none can evade
Capture of Your steady gaze
Embrace my days, embrace my start
Embrace my life, God of my heart.
————————————————————————
Into Your Arms
Fingers spread open, palms up
A scent of new perspective
Lingers
Yet, my shoelaces undone
aim to trip confident steps
_
So I fall into your arms
_
Perfection unattainable
but it permeates my breath
It chokes
The outcome’s inevitable
Disaster I see from this view
_
Ready to run, unprepared
These loose ends to tie up
La la la
No need to worry, no longer scared
Fingers spread open, palms up
—————————————————-
The You and Me
You were right when you said I lied to you
Honestly could not disappoint you again
with the pain the truth would have caused you
_
You put aside your hopes and dreams
For my momentary flings
As confident I am in your dedicated love
I cannot seem to
_
See the you and me
Unattach the destiny
Escape my history
See the you and me
_
You were strong when I said I’d given up
Overlooked every time I made that excuse
Don’t know how you could stand to look at me
All the while knowing my shame
—————————————————————
You Love Me
Darkness cannot conquer the light
Though I’m stung with manic degrees of sight
Undone and life seems unfair
But you love me, you love me
_
You see the pain and feel the loss
You capture my tears and hold my heart
Knowing what I left is better left
and what’s ahead is better yet
I’m reaching up to your love, leaving this behind.
_
Darkness cannot conquer the light
Though I’m stung with manic degrees of sight
I live no longer in fear cuz you love me, you love me
_
Never expected to see brighter days, disbelief at the smile on my face
cuz you love me, you love me
Don’t wanna lose this sweet repose, the kiss of damaged goods has been removed
cuz you love me, you love me
———————————————————
The Way
He’s lookin’ out his window, lonely staring through
The world is cold and vicious, jaded in its view
His heart is full, spilling fangs and fur
Squelching demons of despair
_
He’s screaming inside to see the man
The man covered up by lies and fear
Fear that you’ll turn and run the other way
The way, the way, the way
How to find the way from here….
_
It’s hard to see life through those eyes, dodging visions in the mind
Distorted echoes of design of how he and he should bind
Taking two leaps back to move miles ahead
Shifting years of blinded steps
_
What you see is not always what you get
Calling it names and stunting progress
Abandon the mission to satisfy the fears
Abandon it all cuz it’s easier than….
——————————————————
Sing Again
So hard to trust
Scared of failure, scared of myself
The distance overwhelms me, but you run it so easily
_
Does your heart break, do you feel pain
When I ignore your love
Do you miss me, do you wonder
Why I let go of your hand?
It’s amazing you remain, unfaithful though I am
You always look beyond my weakness to hold my when I cry
_
Please don’t let go
Though you should, though I try
to run away from your heart…
Take my fear, console my mind
_
Don’t give up on me
Help me to sing again
—————————————————————-
Rescue
These disappointments, my avoidance
tear apart this weakened soul
Undeserving bu you restore me
Lift me from this deathly hold
_
Break me of all these weights that hold me down
Revive me, breathe in me so I won’t drown
_
You save me, You save me, You save me, You save me
_
Your conversations, captivation
Whisper from these vintage halls
Reminding me, passionately
The sacrifice you made for me
—————————————————–
Stardust
Wrapped in stardust God carried you through
Cotton candy clouds envelope your view
In his arms, you are flying
_
Your journey breaks day with the light
Darling giggles sent from above
Oh what laughing eyes can ignite
Little one, you are loved
_
Wrapped in stardust God carries you through
Cotton candy clouds envelope your view
In his arms, you are flying…….flying
_
Faster than lightening you’ll travel
Brighter than the sunshine you’ll shine
Such marvelous threads to unravel
Little one, you are loved
————————————————————–
You Are God
Maker of me
Author of love and mercy
Giver of life
Healer of death and strife
You amaze me
So faithful, so divine
So inspiring
Your glory mystifies
This wounded soul
that you designed for love
I know that you are God.
I will praise you in my heart
I will praise you with my voice, loud and clear
I will praise you with my life,
You are God, You are God.
Father of hope, Vision beyond my scope
Mender of time, Comforter of mine.
