coincidence

Posted on by under Faith, God

 


well Jonah had his whale
and Elijah had Your fire
Joseph had a dream
and David Your desire

Solomon had wisdom
immorality for Enoch
Sara had a laugh
and David had his rocks

looking back i can see Your hand
through this time – across this land
all these random incedents
leave no room for coincidence

You know Israel found Your favor
the shepherd found his lamb
Abram found the courage
then he found the ram

Moses had Your wonders
Saul he had the crown
but You knew he’d only
rise to let You down

 

Ezra had the wall
after he swallowed the wine
babylon had it all
and they still got a sign

isaac had a blind date
with a woman from a well
samson had a secret
delilah had the spell

paul he saw Your glory
shining in the sky
peter used betrayal
till a rooster made him cry

i’ve had my problems
livin’ just like You
but still you forgive
like only You can do.

best has better

Posted on by under Faith, God, Hope


i can hold my tounge with struggle
quiet the storm inside
hide all of my feelings
bury my wounded pride

but with all the control i boast of
still my heart runs free
and i can’t stop it from hollerin’
all my secret dreams

i can’t explain my wishes
i know i’m unworthy
but even the best has better
that God’s planned for me

i can lie if you ask me
cause i know i should not dream
but if God can part the ocean
He can dry some teary streams

i can put on normal
and act like i’m all ok
but then there’s that feeling
when the world looks the other way

i can’t explain my wishes
i know i’m unworthy
but even the best has better
that God’s planned for me

You’re Mine

Posted on by under Girls, Hope, Love

phone in my hand i test the line
the tone means it works just fine
maybe my number is too hard to remember
maybe if i were more kind

i wanna be clear with what i say
i hint at “i’m lonely” and “please stay”
can’t you take the lead, offer what i need
i can’t ask you in an audible way

but if everyone has someone
that’s always true sometimes
if everyone has someone
you’re mine

i see you again and we smile
silence follows to get my riled
i practice a speech i know i’ll never say
and you’ve been listening all the while

i stumble around the subject and i fall
you find me forehead against the wall
you ask what’s wrong, i answer in song
hey what rhymes with why don’t you call

but if everyone has someone
that’s always true sometimes
if everyone has someone
you’re mine

Always Be A Friend

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls, Sad

 


brother i’ve been a friend of yours
long enough to tell the truth
so sit down and let me tell you
your love has no proof

i can see she hold your fancy
you’re giving her your heart
but don’t lose reality
before this goes too far

it’s time you opened your eyes
it’s time you realized
she will always be a friend

in your rush to play it cool
you came across as cold
she’s taking hints you aren’t dropping
hearing stories you never told

she’s pulling away from you
you can’t see it cause you follow
you sacrificed a friend for the feeling
and all you feel is hollow

it’s time you opened your eyes
and finally realized
she will always be a friend

when it’s not easy

Posted on by under Faith, God, Struggles

how long can you endure the silence
and still trust your ears
how long can you waste away your days
till you lose track of the years

and when the good times turn bad
who is to blame?
well i ask for help and faith
to easy the sting of pain

it’s quiet when i listen
should i look for a sign?
i can’t base it all on feelings
on answers i can’t find
i know God knows things I cannot see
so I’ll trust Him even when it’s not easy

i have to believe God sees me cry
i want to believe He cares
when everyone is moving away
it’s hard to think He’s there

i’m jealous of the former slaves
that walked across Red Sea
and I can’t help but wonder
why God doesn’t do that stuff for me

it’s quiet when i listen
should i look for a sign?
i can’t base it all on feelings
on answers i can’t find
i know God knows things I cannot see
so I’ll trust Him even when it’s not easy

all this doubt makes my faith more true
i have promises and history to see me through

what i’m talking about

Posted on by under Conviction / Doubt, Faith, God, Struggles

another night has seen it’s day
another empty plea for company
am i just blind to the blessings out there?
or is something wrong with my prayers?

i follow rules when i study
hope You’ll lead me where to read
and Your words land like a stone
it’s not good for me to be alone

You are the truth i find hard to believe
are my granted wishes so far up Your sleeve?
maybe it’s too much to ask, too much to doubt
but i know You know what i’m talking about

You came to earth on a mission
save the lost at life’s cost
You endured the desert sun
and though You had 12, they chose to run

and Sunday school – it has taught me
God’s love falls from above
but searching this sky for rain
left me thirsty and weak from pain

You are the truth i find hard to believe
are my granted wishes so far up Your sleeve?
maybe it’s too much to ask, too much to doubt
but i know You know what i’m talking about

so obvious

Posted on by under Girls, Hope, Love

do i dare even open my mouth
to tell her she looks nice today
do i dare even open my mouth
i don’t know what to say

do i dare even look at her now
she can see through my lies
do i dare risk eye contact now
she can see the truth in my eyes

it must be – so obvious
it must be – so obvious
i’ve never been good at saying
just how i feel

do i dare share my heart
can i handle a no?
do i dare share a secret
that she surely already knows?

do i dare push her away
maybe it’s God’s plan
do i dare? no i can’t
she was meant for this man

it must be – so obvious
it must be – so obvious
i’ve never been good at saying
just how i feel

she sighs

Posted on by under Girls, Love, Sad

romance novels in the afternoon
she’s wasting time and wishes
she tells herself maybe someday soon
she’ll find all she misses

the phone rings for her twice again
another friend is making plan
i start to dial and hang up and then
ask what she’d want with this man

and i know we all fall short of glory
she is closest in my eyes
but even when the sun in shining
she sighs

locked doors in the early night
i’m not going out there
i’d be lying if i said i might
be invited anywhere

i know where all my faults lie
don’t have to show me twice
how can she be flawed as i
when she always seems so nice

and i know we all fall short of glory
but she is closest in my eyes
even when the sun is shining
she sighs

follow the rain

Posted on by under Conviction / Doubt, God, My Favorites, Struggles

this land i claim is hostile to me
yet i claim it’s my home

this land i claim bears no fruit anymore
yet i call it home

should i follow the rain
wherever it may lead?
should i follow what i want
or what i need?
should i follow the rain
wherever it may lead?
abandon what i want for what i need?

so i go out in the fields
and pray to a God a can’t feel

i know i feel a push to leave
but do You push without a pull to lead?

should i follow the rain
wherever it may lead?
should i follow what i want
or what i need?
should i follow the rain
wherever it may lead?
abandon what i want for what i need?

find myself falling

Posted on by under Girls, Love

i don’t know where you came from
but i know where this is going
i could find myself falling in love tonight

we’re talking more than normal
our words are passing friendship standards
my heart is beating at the speed of light

when are we going to let ourselves fall in love
how long till our shallow words rise above
i know what you’re thinking, you can read my mind
so let’s let ourselves fall in love tonight

you’re all i think about
i analyze your every move
i think you’re perfect in every way

i’m running out of reasons
for a friendly night out on the town
truth is i just have to see you again

when are we going to let ourselves fall in love
how long till our shallow words rise above
i know what you’re thinking, you can read my mind
so let’s let ourselves fall in love tonight
