Step into my eyes
I know it's not
Going just how you'd like
You just can't see how
Anything could come out right
From your perspective

This mountain's taller than any other
This valley's deeper, the slopes are steeper
Trust me, even when you feel ashamed
I see a love that's greater than your pain

What I see in you
Won't give up now, no
What I see in you
Smiles when you're down low
What you see can't get you down
What you see will turn around
But what I see in you
What I see in you
Can overcome.

Just you look around
There’s more than this
Stress just gets you down
But there’s more than this
If you look through my eyes
You’ll see what I see

This mountain's taller than any other
This valley's deeper, the slopes are steeper
Trust me, even when you feel ashamed
I see a love that's greater than your pain

What I see in you
Won't give up now, no
What I see in you
Smiles when you're down low
What you see can't get you down
What you see will turn around
But what I see in you
What I see in you
Can overcome.

Lord, I don’t know what I’m doing
Or where my life is going,
But I know that without your leading,
It’ll just be endless roaming.

I’ve looked at my past and present,
And my future doesn’t look bright
Unless I accept Your leadership
And give in to your calling tonight.

I’m asking for help ‘cause I need it:
I need you most desperately;
I can’t live this life without it:
I need help immeasurably.

I’m tired, exhausted, of being alone
And giving in to loneliness;
I’ve realized that that’s You, calling me
It’s you wanting my brokenness.

Because when I have no one,
I have You;
There’s no one I need more,
But I forget the truth.

Please keep reminding me
Of how much I need Your love;
It’s not that You won’t give it,
But that I don’t think it’s enough.

I don’t want to keep searching,
I’ve done this all before:
I know that it ends in sorrow;
Your light is what I look for.

So please take me, it’s hopeless:
Without you I am done;
I’m giving up on myself
And accepting that You’ve won.

I know You’ll take me,
Of the little I do know…
It’s a comfort I find
A Friend who will never go.

You fill the longing deep inside
That I cannot comprehend
You’re the road before me
In a sea of stone dead-ends.

So don't let me forget it,
How I am completely Yours;
I cannot have grounds for despair
When I am on Your shores.

brownies taste better
and fill me up with their love
more than you. that's it.
Should I drive you from my mind?
Shall I stop my heart?
Or are you even close to me?
Do you play a special part?

I forget to think of you
When I am alone,
And I can't say I like to say
Our names in a loving tone.

I admire you, I know that,
But are you in my soul?
Have I even written your name?
Or imagined us on a stroll?

In fact, am I infatuated?
Or do I fancy it
So that my heart longs to feel,
And yet, it doesn't?

I don't know what I'd do
If you suddenly loved me,
And I don't know what I'd say
If your eyes began to see.

Perhaps my heart's run out of love--
Perhaps I am a yawn:
Too tired to think romantic things
And to friendship go beyond.

Finally, I have defeated
A meaningless urge:
The wish to be your only one,
Under tiredness submerged.
I don't have a crush on you at all. I don't know why I thought I did. What a relief.
I think of you more
And yet you think of me less
I've messed this up now.
Do I have the right
To be frustrated with you?
Am I possibly
In any situation
To request more of you? No.
plant a seed down deep
it must die before it grows
but then it will rise
and be greater than ever
closest and strongest of all.
