Darkness

The darkness quiets me.
I sit in the stillness of nothing
I look up and squint my eyes,
I can see the stars
but they are so far away.
They are dreams that were broken,
broken apart into little specks
that can never be put back together,
nor can they ever be reached.
I feel small in this pitch of blackness
No need to look up any more,
it is unreachable.

Say One Thing Do Another

You hypocrite.
You say everything is good,
you say you have changed.
You say you love God
but you haven’t given everything.
You are mean and you hurt people with your words.
So I think you have a girlfriend
but you sure don’t act like you do.
You flirt with many girls,
talk like you are looking for someone new.
You talk about the future,
but what about the present?
What are you doing now?
I want to know what’s going through your head
You think you’re so cool,
and better than everybody else.
You get by with not much.
You talk big
but you don’t have that touch
I don’t know what to think of you
You make me angry with your games
You say one thing do another
You are just the same
and I wonder if you have ever changed.

Right Here Beside Me

When you’re
on your knees
and you’re
screaming please
God I can’t do this on my own.
You realize
that you’re
not alone
and He’s right there
beside you
and you can’t help but cry
cause you know it’s alright.
You’re in His presence
and it reasures you
of everything,
everything that was promised.
The plans that you know He has,
they’ll all come true
and you know
everything will work out for the good
because you’re
not alone.
He’s right there beside you
and you can’t help but cry
cause you know it’s alright.
Jesus hold me tonight
cause I just want to be with You.
Every breath I take with You,
every step I take will be right behind Yours
and when I run out of air
You breath Your life into me.
You are my strength
when I can’t take another step,
You carry me
and I’m not alone
cause you’re right here beside me.
I can’t help but cry
cause I know it’s alright.

Joy in His Goodness

I love hearing from you:
what you are learning,
what you are doing,
how you are growing,
the joy that’s in your heart.
I see God working in you
and I hear it throuh your words.
I see your heart changing
and it makes my spirit glad.
I want to leap for joy
and I want to sing His praise.
He answered my prayers
I see them answered in you
and it makes me smile
and I can never stop
Thank you Lord for your goodness
Your goodness never ends

I Almost Cried

What if I told you?
I almost cried
that night I said goodbye
when the time wasn’t real long
and you thought I was so strong.
I almost cried
as if you had died.
No, I’m not lying
but you were fine
and I was way out of line.
Thank goodness you don’t know
what’s behind these brown eyes
I almost cried
