I’m running in the darkness,
Running from myself;
I’ve been running for so long now,
Myself is someone else.

Despair had my heart in pieces,
I wanted to run and hide,
But I couldn’t run away from myself
And escape all the voices inside

I’m lost without Your justice,
I’m sick without Your peace.
I’m dying without Your loving touch,
And I’m chained without Your key.

When I’ve lost my way
You’ve never lost me.
When I’m frozen in the pain
You’ve never lost me.


I will fail at everything I try to do,
‘Cause I’m nothing without You.
I only know one thing is true:
When I’ve lost my way and I’m afraid,
You’ve never lost me.
When I’ve lost my way
You’ve never lost me.
When I’m frozen in the pain
You’ve never lost me.


Secure in my possessions,
I was trying to save myself;
Discovering my weakness,
Myself was all that was left.

I covered every blemish,
Abandoned all my dreams;
Maybe if I lost myself,
I wouldn’t want to scream.

When I’ve lost my way
You’ve never lost me.
When I’m frozen in the pain
You’ve never lost me.


I will fail at everything I try to do,
‘Cause I’m nothing without You.
I only know one thing is true:
When I’ve lost my way and I’m afraid,
You’ve never lost me.
When I’ve lost my way
You’ve never lost me.
When I’m frozen in the pain
You’ve never lost me.


Can You take this mess of me?
Can I forget all I knew?
Can You build me up again?
Can I just belong to you?


You’ve never lost me, You’ve never lost me
(You’ve ne-ver lost me)
You’ve never lost me, You’ve never lost me
(You’ve ne-ver lost me)


I will fail at everything I try to do,
‘Cause I’m nothing without You.
I only know one thing is true:
When I’ve lost my way and I’m afraid,
You’ve never lost me.
When I’ve lost my way
You’ve never lost me.
When I’m frozen in the pain
You’ve never lost me.



When I’ve lost my way (You’ve ne-ver lost me) (I'm lost without you)
You’ve never lost me. (I'm lost without you)
When I’m frozen in the pain (You’ve ne-ver lost me) (I'm lost without you)
You’ve never lost me. (I'm lost without you)

When I’ve lost my way (You’ve ne-ver lost me) (I'm lost without you)
You’ve never lost me. (I'm lost without you)
When I’m frozen in the pain (You’ve ne-ver lost me) (I'm lost without you)
You’ve never lost me. (I'm lost without you)

What inspires me?

Is it beauty?
Is it sadness?
Is it destruction that makes way for a new beginning?

Is it love?
Is it hate?
Is it the yearning inside for something true?

Is it joy?
Is it despair?
Is it the hope that comes with the morning?

Is it peace?
Is it chaos?
Is it the thoughts in my head that always argue?

What inspires me?

They are all the same,
The opposite and the right;
States of mind and a place
Where I constantly fight.

What inspires me?

Hate cannot win over love:
Joy lives alongside fears;
Chaos breeds peace from above,
And beauty and sadness bring tears.

So what inspires me?
Is it everything?
Surely there has to be
One all-consuming thing.

Is it simply living?  Or living simply?
I cannot choose a one,
But life is the realm where I'll always be,
And Death has never won.

I want to make quiet music
that is so strong
you want to play it loud.

There were lights
To guide the way
Stars that shine
Shone in the day

Closed my eyes
To think of them
Inner light
Shone like a gem

If only light
Could always stay
I would wait
A million days.

Ask
Lift your face
Look to the hills
Help will come
When you ask for it.
Psalm 121:1-2
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
    where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.

There was a story
I wanted to hide
But escaped no matter
How hard I tried.

I had a scar
I wanted to fade
But it stuck out ugly
And always disobeyed.

There was a memory
I wanted to forget
But the truth was clear then
And I always thought of it.

There was a future
I wanted to be real
But hopeless days before me
Were all that I could feel.

I came across a Healer
He ripped me open wide
And touched all of my hurting parts
And made me new inside.

Now I know a Savior
Who knows you like his own
He can change you just like me
And melt your heart of stone.
2 Corinthians 5:17
"This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!"

If love was a feeling
It would be everywhere
The sun and trees and grass and bees
There would always be love in the air.

If love was convenient
Then it would be easy to love
Easy to love, easy to leave
Life would never get rough

If love was just effortless
Then it would not mean much
You wouldn't try hard, it wouldn't be part
Of the life-changing motion of love.

If love wasn't worthwhile
Hatred would be much more common
Rewards of kindness would be lost behind us
And no one would care if you loved them.

If love wasn't painful
Then it could never grow you
You couldn't be cut to get out of your rut
And nothing would ever caution you.

If love wasn't so wonderful
It would be something else
Like apathy or ignorance, distrust or pride,
Love wouldn't be worth it.
