since I've written here<br />
And I'll make it clear<br />
Its not been easy<br />
<br />
I've had my fears<br />
Asked is this for real<br />
Please don't disappear<br />
No its not been easy<br />
<br />
But its been beautiful<br />
Its been a miracle<br />
with lots of ups and downs<br />
with lots of ins and out<br />
Its been beautiful<br />
You breathe the lyrics, so<br />
I wanna live beautiful in you, oh!<br />
<br />
I've been knocked dizzy<br />
put into a tizzy<br />
Been knocked around silly<br />
so it hasn't been easy for me no!<br />
<br />
But you alone take me<br />
Your Spirit wakes me<br />
Set the mountains shaking<br />
You say to me I won't be alone!<br />
<br />
<br />
Cause its been beautiful<br />
Its been a miracle<br />
with lots of ups and downs<br />
with lots of ins and out<br />
Its been beautiful<br />
You breathe the lyrics, so<br />
I wanna live beautiful in you,

lived why you died so that we could be cured<br /><br /><br />We're all dying to live<br />and living to die<br />the one thing that were living for<br />is the fight for the reason not to cry<br />or

plays through my head<br /><br />Its just that this is who I am<br />I've learned to swim deep waters<br />Because He made me understand<br />But I don't understand it all at all<br />but I know its so uncommonly <br /><br />When I hear the wind rush through the trees<br />she rushes through my heart and brings a wave of peace<br />because the master sent her like fingers to rustle up my hair<br />I smile at the sky because he's there<br />When I see all of creation<br />When I hear its tune and song<br />I find the consolation <br />of his arms and it wont be long<br /><br />And when I walk through deserts <br />feeling nothing and bone dry<br />I know he'll leave me never<br />and so I pick up again to try<br /><br /><br />Its just that this is who I am<br />I've learned to swim deep

From DeathA flower falls to the earth unnoticed and dies<br />with no one to weep, it neither hungers or cries<br />As it sinks into the soil<br />the seed begins to toil<br />and as death comes so does life<br /><br />While it was alive, death was inside<br />now as death comes to steal,<br />the life breaths and heals<br />maybe to live is to die<br />and to die is to have life<br /><br />My heart longs to be seen as I pass by<br />to not sink to the grave as common on the fly<br />But to take up my cross is the bring Heaven close<br />and to die is to be with the One I love most<br />When he breaths my spirit alive<br />My heart and will, will die<br /><br />While it was alive, death was inside<br />now as death comes to steal,<br />the life breaths and heals<br />maybe to live is to die<br />and to die is to have lifeSanddollarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09484037219620427371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4397609137284418146.post-15291884916498414192010-05-03T19:18:00.000-07:002010-05-03T19:28:44.424-07:00Tied OutOh I'm a little busy girl,<br />in a great big busy world<br />it's so easy to forget I'm leaving this old place behind me<br />cause sometimes worry finds me out<br />as I step through my ring of doubts<br />I sense deja-vu, and I smile at you<br />will I ever learn now,<br />taking the same turn now<br /><br />And I try to hide<br />behind peace that comes from inside<br />but it runs out dry and leaves a thirst behind<br />cause I just got started in my day<br />but oh heavens forgot to pray <br />I've got a burden Dear God,<br />you smile and say how odd<br />so I smile back and let you unwind<br />my busy mind and the knots I've tied<br /><br />And so many times my breath rushes back <br />and you catch my hand and say just relax<br />you gave that thing to me, now sit and practice peace<br />at my feet<br />your worry won't do anything <br />please trust in meSanddollarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09484037219620427371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4397609137284418146.post-22835407074952710612010-05-03T19:08:00.000-07:002010-05-03T19:18:37.842-07:00Awaken

to the steeple <br />here we'll weep and here we'll die<br />it's not about being good<br />if you thing that your lost for good<br />its got to be shown and understood<br />the only way not to die

RobotWe're born into chaos, joy, love and strife<br />we find out this race is something called life<br />but life aint a race or all that it seems<br />and twenty years later we all are machines<br /><br />We're born here to die<br />as some of them said<br />but the stars in the sky echo straight through our head<br />theres gotta be a meaning to this being alive<br />but the ends and the means wont meet tonight<br />hello <br />hello<br /><br />and we all try to find the ends of the means<br />and twenty years later we all are machines<br />we still haven't found what our hearts desire<br />maybe our hearts are charred stone and not fire<br />we've been burnt and busied by frivolous things<br />all the time missing the fact we've got wings<br />we didn't see the face through the muck and the mire<br />cause we're all just machines now metal and wire<br />hello <br />hello<br /><br />Maybe the means will finally have ends<br />when our hearts begin melting and beating to bend<br />maybe one day we will understand<br />that the beauty of choas is peace in His hands<br /><br />and we all try to find the ends of the means<br />and twenty years later we all are machines<br />we still haven't found what our hearts desire<br />maybe our hearts are charred stone and not fire<br />we've been burnt and busied by frivolous things<br />all the time missing the fact we've got wings<br />we didn't see the face through the muck and the mire<br />cause we're all just machines now metal and wire<br />hello <br />hello<br /><br />Look at all the busy work<br />like worms we crawl around in the dirt<br />but we don't have to crawl <br />we've got wings after all <br />but we busy ourselves<br />in our robotic shells <br />to keep the truth away from our space<br />cause we just don't want the truth of His loving face<br />hello<br />oh hello<br />im man not machine<br />as I look down below<br />hello <br />hello<br />come join in the sunset<br />a sky of His meadows<br />hello<br /><br />and we all ingore the facts of the ends of the means<br />and twenty years later we all are

and Failure Both Lose or WinA man in a sweater steps off the airplane <br />He's arrived in Paris to see the sights, and all the pretty lights<br />And he's just trying to escape the pain. <br />He's lead a good life, but it's empty like <br />the can that the little boy holds in his hand <br />he's tried everything in life, and it all broke down tonight<br />the cops came and busted up the party, he's lead a bad life, and he can't even say sorry<br />to himself the man in the sweater says whats the point<br />and the boy with the can says forget this joint<br />I've tried to be good<br />and I've been real bad, <br />but there's gotta be something I haven't had yet<br /><br />The man in the sweater sits down on a park bench,<br />and the boy with the can on the curb<br />see theres something they both missed, <br />there's something they both haven't learned<br />and its love<br />the only kind you get from your father Above<br />and a remembrance of a story comes back to remind<br />of a man who hung by three nails for loves sake and died<br />and then came back alive<br /><br />Jesus loves me <br />this I know <br />for the word of God tells me that its so<br />and when I stumble and when I crawl<br />his nail scarred hands will catch me no matter how far I fall<br /><br />And that's all I've got to say<br />you can have success or give everything away<br />but if your heart has not found rest, <br />come to know your Father's love and ask forgiveness<br /><br />To the man in the sweater and the boy with the can<br />Jesus is calling you home, saying Yes I am <br />I am ready to forgive you,<br />I'm your healer and your friend<br />I will never leave you or forsake you<br />I'm everything you want and need, for I amSanddollarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09484037219620427371noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4397609137284418146.post-48182329143998465642010-04-21T21:40:00.000-07:002010-04-21T21:52:11.122-07:00Oh

just stop trying<br />it was my pride that did, did me in this time<br />Wish I could learn my lessons and refrain from the same crime<br />you'd think that I could let it go but oh, oh, oh, oh no <br />Heavens<br /><br />Oh heavens I'm my only point of shame <br />Oh heavens My soul is the only one to blame<br />Oh heavens My shade follows me like a past from the grave<br />Jesus put my soul to
