----------------------------------
Can you see me?
In the beauty of this moment
Lost in the wonder of who You are.
You open the skies above
And make the earth beneath me tremble.
The power You control
Makes me fall to my knees
Only so you can lift me up again
Can you hear me?
The call of my broken heart
Seeking to find you in this brokenness.
You open the skies above
And make the earth beneath me tremble.
The power You control
Makes me fall to my knees
Only so you can lift me up again.
Can you love me?
Down on my knees calling out
To come and lift me up when I fall.
Open my life
I need you to take it
Form this heart
Open my life
I need you to take it
Form this heart

This little piece was kindof an outflow of emotions and anticipation. I've been contemplating the sensory relationship that I have with my Lord. Sometimes we think that He is so "high and mighty" that our little voice, or our tiny problems don't reach His ears. That is nothing more than a lie that we tell ourselves to make ourselves think that we are alone and that we have to fend for ourselves. LIES! Nothing more than LIES!
My Lord want's nothing more than to wrap his arms around me and lift me to my feet. Brush off the dirt and walk with me. He is never too far away. He is never out of earshot. Even the tiniest whisper doesn't fall on deaf ears. He hears every cry, every plea. All we need to do, all I need to do, is call out and He will listen.

shifting
I've been in this really weird place in my head lately, and I'm starting to see myself in a different light. I don't really know how to explain it, other than the fact that I'm ready to move forward, yet I'm also willing to wait.
It's like I know what I want, but I'm not at the point where I'm ready for it, I guess. I've always been the type to rush in and follow my impulses, my heart before I think about it. Not that that is always a bad thing. Sometimes you can't let your head get in the way of your heart... But that only works when your heart is focused in the right direction. I'm finally starting to see my heart is looking in the right direction.
It's been a long time coming, and it's taken a lot of soul searching but I know... I know deep in my heart that my heart would not feel this way if not for a reason.
I can feel my heart shifting, but the more I feel it shift the more I know that it is true. I know that I feel the way I do for a reason. And whatever that reason may be, I am realizing that this is much more than a test. This is a reason to wait. This is a reason to take a deep breathe. This is my heart playing a melody that I have never felt before. And I like it, no, I love it.

Voices
Can you make it all stop
All the voices in my head
Distracting me from the truth
I'm so lost in this sea of stress
My mind is racing
And I can't catch my breath
My world is spinning
I'm waiting for it to fall apart
Like it has over and over again
Can you make it all stop
All the voices in my head
Distracting me from the truth
Every voice that I hear
Is telling me to run
In the opposite direction
I can't tell which way to go
I don't know which voice is Yours
I won't take it anymore
Please Lord
Enter in
And stay with me
Calm my mind
Silence my spirit
Relieve my heart
I'm done trying to do this on my own
I need your voice to drown out mine
And lead me back to the truth that I know
Speak
And let me listen
Move
And let me follow
Touch
And let me feel
Please Lord
Enter in
And stay with me
Lord, stay with me
-----------------------
Have you ever been just so caught up in the hustle of life, and get so distracted by everything around you that it gets hard to hear Him?
I am there right now.
I've got so much going on right now. School isn't going great. Work is stressful. Church is almost overwhelming.
I've taken on so many things, that I'm drowning under all my commitments. There are so many voices that I don't even remember what my own voice sounds like anymore.
Not sure what I'm trying to say, just trying to say that I'm okay. I'm just trying to learn to listen again.

Listening to the melody
I'm siting here
Listening to the melody
The beat of my heart
Pounding through my chest
Searching for its release
This song on my spirit
The ebb and flow of the rhythm
My mind is racing
Searching for words to describe
This overwhelming chorus
The sound becomes overwhelming
The drums crash
The guitars roar
There is such a clatter in my mind
Yet it is such a joyous sound
The sound echoes inside
Can you feel my heart
It is beating in tune with yours
This is not my song
It is yours
You speak to my heart
You usher in a new voice
You conduct this melody
This is where the notes linger
And the voices change
Ringing out this new song that you form
Can you feel my heart
It is beating in tune with yours
This is not my song
It is yours
I offer it as the only thing I can bring
It is all I know
Nothing more than this melody that I hear
The sound of your heart
Speaking to mine
I am here
Not alone
I am here
Not alone
Can you feel my heart
It is yours
It is yours.
Friday
Just a Small Flicker
Have you ever sat and watched a candle flicker in the wind?
Think about that for a second. A small flame. It looks so delicate, but if not controlled it can do great damage. Yet, if you can contain that flame, and use it, what amazing things can be done.
--------------
Flame
Flashing through my body
Making my spirit soar.
This flame that you have created in me
Grows with each passing moment.
Such a small flicker
Can spread into this wildfire in my heart
Burn within me
Burn through this life
Spread like a cleansing fire
And make me new.
This flicker in my soul
Filling my every part.
This flame that you have created in me
Grows with each passing moment.
Such a small flicker
Can spread into this wildfire in my heart
Burn within me
Burn through this life
Spread like a cleansing fire
And make me new.
Burn my heart.
Burn my soul.
Burn my everything.
Make me new.
Make me true.
I want to feel your passion burning through my body.
Burn my heart.
Burn my soul.
Burn my everything.
Make me new.
Make me true.
I want to feel your passion burning through my body.

Hand of God
Healing Hand of God - Jeremy Camp
Verse:
I have seen the many faces,
I fear in the pain.
I have watched the tears fall plenty,
From heart ache and strength.
So if life's journey, Has you weary and afraid.
There's rest in the shadow of his wings.
I have walked through the valleys,
The mountains and plains.
I have held the hand of freedom,
It washes all my stains.
If you feel the weight of many trials,
And burdens from this world.
There's freedom in the shelter of the Lord.
Chorus:
I have seen,
The healing hand of God,
Reaching out and mending broken hearts.
Taste and see the fullness of His peace,
And hold on to what's being held out.
The healing hand of God.
Verse:
I have touched the scars upon His hands,
To see if they were real.
He has walked the road before me,
He knows just how I feel.
When you feel there is not anyone,
Who understands your pain,
Just remember all of Jesus' suffering.
Chorus:
I have seen,
The healing hand of God,
Reaching out and mending broken hearts.
Taste and see the fullness of His peace,
And hold on to what's being held out.
The healing hand of God.
Bridge:
Cast all your cares on Him,
For He cares for you.
He's near to the broken and confused.
By His stripes,
Our spirit is renewed.
So enter in the joy prepared for you.
Chorus:
I have seen,
The healing hand of God,
Reaching out and mending broken hearts.
Taste and see the fullness of His peace,
And hold on to what's being held out.
The healing hand of God.
The healing hand of God (x2)
And hold on to what's being held out (x2)
The healing hand of God
Oh Oh Oh Oh

So many times we walk through this life with all our worries and burdens. Our frustrations and fears. Our hangups and letdowns. Our pain and strife. These are the things that we carry, and they do is hold us down, and keep us trapped. These things are draining, and we know it; but it always seems so hard to let go of these things. It's such a radical concept to think that those are things that we don't need to carry. It is beyond our understanding to know that someone was willing to take all our burdens from us, free of charge. The only requirement is to accept it. Nothing more. We only need to reach out and take His outstretched hand, and he will lift the burdens and the strife and help us walk.
Can you do that? Can you let go of all your pain? Can you take His hand? -- I think you can. So take a step, open your eyes and reach out.
