It has never been about my writing,
whether I have acknowledged that or not.
If I cannot tell you now what my heart is hiding,
then this has all been for naught.
There IS a God who loves you,
more than you can ever understand.
I know this now, but keep forgetting.
Sometimes even MY faith feels like sinking sand...
But I will never waver in the knowledge,
that He loves you more than whatever
situation you are in.
I know you have all heard about it,
sin- the word that makes us cringe.
Our God died though, so that you might be free-
and for your freedom He will come again.
If this is the only thing you believe
in my writings,
believe that you will have
new life
in Him, my friend.

Sometimes I think
You won't want to hear
What I think
What thoughts are near
And then I lean
into your heart
and let your love
wash light into what once was dark.

And this is where we all belong.
Singing out our worries in the form of song.
Spilling out our secrets, not because he wants to know
But because it brings Him into somewhere
we weren't allowing Him to go.

I followed the light
At the end of the tunnel.
He led me here,
To this place.

I followed the light
At the end of the tunnel.
He promised to show me
God's grace.

I followed the light
At the end of the tunnel
Not knowing just what
I would find.

I followed the light
At the end of the tunnel
To leave all the
Dark days behind.

I followed the light
At the end of the tunnel
And now I'm here
With you.

I followed the light
At the end of the tunnel
But I'm not sure
What to do.

You followed the light
At the end of the tunnel.
He led you here,
To this place.

You followed the light
At the end of the tunnel.
Did you ever receive
God's grace?

We followed the light
At the end of the tunnel
But he didn't lead
Us astray.

We followed the light
At the end of the tunnel.
So at the end of the tunnel
We'll stay.

Sometimes, I do not recognize myself.
And I think this is good.
For who I once was
Of that, mostly came no good.
I can laugh loudly now.
I can love the Lord.
Take comfort in His rod and staff
though my heart is pierced with the sword.
I comfort myself knowing that you are not mine, but only our Lord's.
Because He will take far better care of you,
Than I ever did before.
When my heart is like this...it feels oddly full, yet at the same time sore.
I pray your heart is fuller than any other man's, and all good things come to you through our Lord.

I saw you the other day
but you didn't notice me
when life becomes more
then you thought it was

Into and through your eyes
weaving in and out
all eyes on the road you said
all eyes on the road again

I couldn't imagine ever going at it
all alone without you
and now my numbers are down to one
face your fears you said,  stand tall
STAND TALL

We can all just smile now
the figure head has gone
temper and relief
in dreamland

I choose the unknown
I'll walk the path with blind eye
my love, my love
I left you to the void
I left you for dead
Now it is i
I am dead inside
I am sorry
it means little to nothing
but I am so very sorry

There's an ache in me,
there is a need...
For my Savior to come,
Oh Lord, come and rescue me.
I am following your ways,
but I follow on knees that are weak.
They buckle and I tremble,
Lord, I pray you remember me.

I know I'm not forgotten,
but there's an enemy near to me.
Shouting lies that are louder than
your gentle voice.
Lord I need a helper,
Lord I need to be set free.
There is hell here on Earth,
but Lord, thank you that this
is the only hell I'll ever see.
You give grace, I get mercy...that's the Father that you are.

To the girl denying her heart,
I can hear you dying.
I can hear the terror inside your bones.
When you cry because he isn't calling.
Because you know inside yourself,
he is not going to love you like you deserve,
but you'll give yourself to him regardless.

To the girl who didn't wait,
but desires to things the right way this time.
I am you.
I feel your heart.
I hear your insecurities and your hesitations.
I hear your trepidation,
"Could I really be deserving of a love like that?"
And the answer is yes.
My dear, you deserve God's best.
And you can have it when you tell the Lord,
"Yes!"
to all His plans.

To the girl reading this with half of a heart.
I know you too, I once sat where you are.
I was once dead, and you might not be yet.
But the more you deny yourself and conform
to what they tell you to be,
the more you will have to regret.
God loves each and every one of us. So much so that if you were the only person born in this world, he still would have left heaven and came to Earth as Jesus to die on the cross just for you.
