Undone

You're not going to make my skies blue today

but that's ok...

I know You love me anyway

because You give me skies...

Abba...

I'm sorry for wanting what You wouldn't have for me. Thank You for taking it away. Please make my heart understand. Please make them understand... Your plan never changed; this is how it was meant to be. They didn't know what was coming. I didn't know what was coming. Prego per guarire...
This summer is still Yours, just as today was Yours, and tomorrow will be. Give me opportunity. Make it hard, Jesus. Lead me anywhere as long as You are there.

benedetto sia il vostro nome...

It takes work to get to the heart."

Thank you, Lord...

Till we got to the top

And we saw how far we could fall..."

Thank You for best friends, for history, for hiding places, for promises, and for joy...

"She sits there on that same old pew again

His tenor voice still echoes now and then

It brings back all those memories of him there by her side

What she'd give for one more Sunday drive..."

When Speaking About Love...

Why would you give someone a balloon on Valentine's Day? That's basically saying, "enjoy it while it lasts!"

La Marea

Crystal teardrops and sandy shoes
make the girl that I thought I once knew but
the tide is ever changing when I stand
and let my hand
fall lifelessly to my side and then
sing the song she'd like me to.

A wooden bookcase on the wall,
the empty journals dusted faithfully, and all
the memories wrapped up in white tissue and
strings
of everything, everything that made you.

I close my eyes and pretend that we
are sitting, legs swinging
over that long stretch of gray stone by the sea
and yes, we're singing
that song we know about grace and free.

What are you now...

Crystal teardrops and sandy shoes
make the girl I thought I once knew but
the tide is far from reach
and it's lonely there along the empty beach
no one by your side to say
I've been there too, He'll make a way...

Let Them Hear

I have no words to offer,

They simply get in the way,

When I try to explain You,

There's nothing sacred left to say

You are who You are,

And You always will be,

So here is my prayer-

Let them hear You through me,

Let Your words be mine.

Let them see that Your love

Is the reason I'm inspired,

And when given the choice,

May they recognize Your voice.

Let them hear You through me, O Lord.

I don't have all the answers,

All I know is what You've shown,

And I'm longing for those moments

When You'll make your mysteries known.

Til then, I will be,

Who You've call me to be,

So again, hear my prayer-

Let them hear You through me,

Let Your words be mine.

Let them see that Your love

Is the reason I'm inspired,

And when given the choice,

May they recognize Your voice.

Let them hear You through me, O Lord

....and may I always know

That words are not enough...
