Words

these words written on my heart
say more than you'll ever know

engraved in my soul
they hide deep within

through my eyes
you can feel the longing

under the fear is someone
boulder than you can imagine

waiting to stand out
in the middle of a crowd

Words

i need you to consume me
like a cold on a rainy day
i want you to be who i turn to
when my skies are gray
i desire your comfort
while i only come halfway
i require your presence
and for that i must obey
i seek you out in my mind
like a calling everyday
i keep you at a distance
when my feelings are on display
i feel your spirit here
while i'm on my knees to pray
i love you with all my heart
and thats all i need to say

Goudy

thats just who i am

you tell me all these things
usually i would believe you
but sometimes it seems
as though the same thing
can happen so many times
i keep hoping that one time
it will change
and i will be happy
but time and time again
i get disappointed
and i never blame you
i always blame myself
i always take responsibility
because thats who i am
and most would think
i like getting hurt
because i get myself 
into all these situations
but really i just can't change
its who i was meant to be
and i like being me
so i should just rely
on me and myself
but i always look
to the wrong source
to keep me up beat
but again to explain
thats just who i am 

Good Morning!

Lime Light

taken at youth group during worship

A Park Bench



thinking back
we use to sit
just to be together

even in silence
we would be happy
when we are together

maybe when we're older
we can smile
because we're still together
