Sinking Quickly

Why do I feel so heavy
So weighed down
As if the world sits upon my shoulders
As if a ball and chain are connected at my feet?

I should feel weightless
Like a feather
completely relaxed
In the presence of the Lord.

I guess this me
It's who I am
Held down by a world of bricks
And sicking quickly.

Worship

Flags flying
People jumping
The music plays.
The quarter notes leap
As the cymbals dance.
Hands are lifted
High above their reaching point.
Hands are clapping
Praise to the Holiest
God above all.
Shouts of thanks
Screams of worship
Cries of love and laughter.
The lights are dim
Voices are raised.

Where to Start

In the door and up the stairs
Tis there I did believe
Around the corner there was a room
Waiting just for me.

I walked right through the threshold
And pounced upon the bed
I grabbed a pillow in my hands
And in it buried my head.

As I fought to hold back tears
The doorknob started to turn
The door had opened just a bit
To reveal a face so stern.

His face suddenly loosened
To show me he wasn't just a man
But a father watching over me
A man trying truly to understand.

A few words were exchanged in quiet
“Last night you gave me a scare”
I looked him in the eye to respond
“It's nothing new or rare.”

He hangs his head to his chest
And wishes with all his heart
He could help me take the pain away
But he doesn't know where to start.

If Only I Knew

My world is hangin upside down,
Lonely and confused.
I just can't seem to figure out,
Which is really you.
When we're alone you talk to me,
Just like it's only me that you adore.
But in with all the many crowds,
It's me you do ignore.
I'm at a loss for everything,
I don't know what to do.
I wish you'd act like yourself,
Show us all the REAL you.
You're like the perfect stranger,
No one knows who you are.
One person with your friends,
Another when we're chillin in the car.
If only I could figure out,
And just know what to do.
If only you would show us all,
Just which side is the real you.

When I Feel Cold

Baby there's so much I wanna tell you,

But there's only so much my heart will let me say.

I've been hurt in the past,

And all that's tempting my to just walk away.

In my mind I'm more than confused,

But In my heart I love you still.

What you've put me through,

It's all just another excuse to make me ill.

You keep apologizing for stupid little things,

But all I want it this;

For you to be there for me when I need you most,

Give me a hug & take the time to notice.

We're too close to let something like this fail on us,

So show me some love.

I'm sure we can make it through,

As long as we keep looking above.

If you can touch my heart,

If you can touch my soul;

Make sure you're there for me,

Whenever I feel cold.

How is it,
That you're the only one who ever understands?
Why does my heart still love you,
When I don't know what you think of me?
You are always there for me,
Even when I seem 'stand-offish'.
The only one my heart can talk to,
Is also the only one who can tear me down and build me back up.
Will you be there for me,
Or will you let me fall all on my own?
You know what I'm thinking,
Even when everyone else is confused.
My love can't let you go,
But my mind is telling me to leave.
Could you say everything will be ok,
Could you take my hand and lead me?
Because this time I promise,
When you hold out your hand,
I'll take it and never let go.

Remember?

Remember when it rained,

When the volcanoes were quiet,

How the flowers grew?



Remember how high the birds soared,

How the ocean flowed,

And the grass grew?



Remember how the sun rose,

When the wind blew,

The trees swayed?



Remember when the mountains stood,

The fires burned,

How the stars came out?



Remember how the moon shined,

How the leaves would glide,

And when the rainbows had color?



Remember when the planets alligned,

Remember when the clouds parted?

I remember,

Because that's when it was you and I.
