question of the day...


when will I just go for it? (or more definitively...let go?)




Something always brings me back to you,
it never takes too long
no matter what i say or do
I still feel you here, til the moment I'm gone...

You hold me without touch,
keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much
then to drown in your love
and I'd feel your rain

Set me free...
leave me be!
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am,
and I stand
so tall,
just the way I'm supposed to be
You're on to me
all over me...

Oh.
You love me cuz i'm fragile,
and I thought that I was strong,
you touch me for a little while,
and all my fragile strength is gone...

Set me free
leave me be!
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
here I am,
and I stand
so tall,
just the way I'm supposed to be
but you're on to me,
all over me...

The one thing that I still know
is that you're keeping me down,
you're keeping me down.
you're on to me,
and all over ...

Something always brings me back to you
it never takes too long...

secret



smooth as a whisper,
the words feel like rain
falling all around me,
you bring the sky back

smoke beyond the hills,
fresh snow falls in my palm
the tall grass sways
my cheeks glow sun-kissed

here or there, anywhere
you speak rhythm into my heart
you hold my hand and lead me
into a great wide world

stay.


You.

Let me sing for the breath that You've given.


Every day for the life You sustain
The beat of the heart You formed when I was made
Let me worship Your wonder and splendor
Though the heavens Your glory proclaim
They don’t know the price You paid for my life, the sacrifice You made


Let me sing louder than creation to You
For the pain You bore in Your body to bring my soul to You
Let me shine brighter than the stars in the sky
An offering of praise all my life to You my holy King
Let me sing, let me sing

Let me sing for the mercy You’ve given
Undeserving and broken am I
Though I’ve turned away, Your faithfulness remains
Let me live in the light of forever
As I walk through the course of my days
And join to proclaim with all of the saints the only worthy name

scent of something new

I love my morning cup of coffee,
today feels like the beginning of spring

Glory to God, forever!

I wish I could sing to the trees,
dance without worry
be with the One who created me
but now I am here
on earth til He comes
and I wait for the day
when I will run to Him
sing for Him
and stand in awe of His Majesty
as His beloved.

baby steps

begin again,
slowly take a step
this is real
my hands fail me
but my heart is strong
I barely see through this cloud
but I know it will fade
I will rise
see my redemption
til the day it takes my soul
I will run this race
beginning with baby steps.
