If you’d ever leave
I wouldn’t know who to be
I wouldn’t know where to turn
I’d have all these bridges to burn

If you’d ever leave
The sun wouldn’t be as bright to me
If you’d ever leave me
My heart would be missing a beat

And if you ever leave
I just wouldn’t know how to see
Even though you would be free
I would never forget that memory

And if you’d ever leave me
I would look out on our seas
In a different way
I would wish you’d stay
If you’d ever leave.
Just imagined what it would be like if someone, anyone you rely on with your soul and heart left.

Jesus!
We shout out in shame
as we are looking
for someone else to blame.

Lord!
We exclaim in vain
as we look to see
the falling rain.

Oh God!
We report in a storm
filled with salt
as we decide it is not our fault.

We know it
we say it
but do we believe it ?

Use our heart
Just help us start
On Calvary our heart's he won

So shout it out
to the Son!

God’s been here
Now there’s you
God has me
Now you do
There’s a way to make this work
There’s a way to know the truth
God found me you.

I live my life for love
The kind that overflows
God  has loved us both
Now we do

Because there’s a way to make this work
There’s a way to know the truth
God loves us together
Just like I love you.

I could live my life without it
I could live my life alone
But I could never be so free
Without the love you both bring me.

So God please leave your love with us
Together we go on
In your freedom truth be told
We’ll never be alone.

There’s a way to make this work
There’s a way to know the truth
God loves us together.
Just like I love you.
Written in 2009 for my then boyfriend who is now my husband. My prayer at the end was a plea because he was afraid of the faith I had. A relative of his got divorced because his wife was to forceful in her beliefs and used them against him to make him feel guilty about things instead of treating him with respect and love as her faith teaches us. I have never met a perfect Christian even myself...they don't exist..and that is the whole point.

Temptation tangles tearing tendrils teasing
Thoughts think through thickening thunder
Lips lying like losers lifted lungs
Loud like lighted lamps

Follow fairly for fainting faces
Friends fight for feeling free
Eat education entirely
Energy eases enemies
Daring dear defend

Take the loving Lord
Fight eternally to the end.
Written in 2008 as a single woman who just met the wonder of God and was baptized in the Atlantic Ocean.

You Will Be

You will be the one to hold close
The voice my ears hear the most
You will be the one I can bare
The time and all of our cares.

You will be the one who is gentle
The way faith is so simple
You will be the one where I know
The love of God will grow.

The one is my friend
My world’s helping hand.

You will be the one who is bound
The ring on a finger might be found
You will be the one who shares
The love of God will mend every tare.

You will be the one I will run to
The rhythm in my shoe
You will be the one I will age with
The rocking of God’s true gift.

The one is my friend
My world’s helping hand.

You will be the one I will meet
The smile after a long, long street
You will be the one I will ask for
The other side of God’s great door.

For now you are the one with who I wish to be
The one I wish to see
The one who is at a distant shore
The one God knows I pray for.

The one will be my friend
My world’s helping hand.
I wrote this a year before I met my husband. He isn't perfect but neither am, but he is everything I prayed for.

I’ve found you now
That real life I prayed for
Is something more than I ever hoped for.

So many words had written a story
Of fleeting dreams of fear and worry.
And here you are the last piece of life
I can see myself in distant time

Then, now, and forever
I am so blessed
To live.

Storms could chase us down
But I know we would wait it out
Those days will pass
And our love will forever last and last

By Grace from God
We are so blessed
To put away the past and
To live life at last
Wrote this for my husband before we were married this past April. Not sure about the punctuation or anything I just put some words down.
