Still...


Still...

You held me high, into my eyes
You smiled, there was no other
Full of peace, I felt at home
At your side, I was your brother

Time passed by, still all was right
Growing wiser, day by day
But something smelled, what was wrong?
I couldn't see it, with my eyes

From my back, a stinging pain
Words never hurt, like this before
Around my neck, hung a noose
Our bond is dead, I'm swinging now

Where'd you go, what'd I do?
I still long for you my brother
I'm still the same, my hove's not changed
I still long for you my brother

Your Call


You call me in you call me home
Even when I got nowhere to go
You call me in you call me home
There's no end to how much you love

Sometimes there's a tough choice to make
Sometimes I feel alone
But if I open up my heart
I'll see you by my side

There's nothing that you you've never seen
You're waiting, arms wide open
The choice is mine, you let me be
Which path? It's hard to choose

Sometimes I don't want to know
Selfishly I walk away
But when I fall and see my folly
You're waiting there to take me back

To My Beloved


Days aren't so cold anymore
Cause your light shines into mine
Everything is warmer with your touch
Instead of cold hard edges all the time

Where once there was dead silence
My ears ring full of joy
I love you's heard on every day
Lets me know that I am home

Sure it's never perfect
But that's okay with me
Because our days are filled with love
I have all that I will ever need

From time to time the road gets bumpy
We've been thrown a curve or two 
But with you and God right by my side
I've got all I need to get through

I know that I'm not perfect
And I got a lot of work to do
But your love gives me inspiration
To be the best man that I can be

So with that I say, "I love you"
I hope you know you're mine forever
Cause when you're given something this great
You never ever want to let go

Why Not Yet?




Why not yet?
Why not yet?
My prayer has yet to get answered
Is there something that I have forgot to do?

Seems like it's been a million years
Since I came to you that day
The day that I poured my heart empty out to you

I know that you were listening
Cause Jesus says you are
And you've been there for me every other time

My parents tell me to be patient
But I don't think they know my pain
they're so busy, It's not their fault they don't understand

My pastor says there's reasons 
Why you're waiting long to help me
I guess it's okay to be a part of your big plan

I guess all in all there are many more worse off
As I think I realize 
How really blessed I am

So I offer up my pain
I'll wear it gladly with a smile
Cause deep down I know you love me, that's all I need

Why not yet?
Why not yet?
My prayer has yet to get answered 
I'm sitting and I'm waiting, I love you

Looking for Wisdom


I turn to you cause I know nothing
Walking blindly in the dark
It's cold and wet, all alone
In my own prison
Lost inside a desert 
Desert of the mind
Where the wind it rips and tears
So cold it breaks the heart

I heard a whisper yesterday
Crawling on the ground
To which I crawled so slow in pain
Knees bloody to the bone
Fumbling round in this dark room
No hope in sight I see
The laughing hounds chase me now
Where is my swift escape?

A twinkling of a light I see
It seems so far away
But I have nothing left to loose
Except this burning pain
Reaching out in hope please
I feel your tender touch
So thankful that you saved me
From the world that cuts so deep

I return to you for wisdom
Teach me peace of mind
I turn to you for wisdom
For the world has made me blind

"Going Home"


Something's off, not quite right
Like I got some empty hole deep in my soul
I tried to fill it with her love
But I couldn't get enough of her touch

I felt restless, I couldn't sleep
Was there something I forgot to do I don't believe
I'd stay up late, to fill the time
But I'd wake up knowing somethings not right

No matter where, I tried to go
I never felt like I was home
No matter how, or what I did
I never felt like I was home

Then one day I met this man
He seemed crazy but I wanted what he had
He seemed to glow with joy and peace
So I followed him to that church, what could I loose?

Now I'm home, now I'm home
No matter where in the world I may go
Now I'm home, now I'm home
With God's love deep in me I feel at home

Here and Waiting


Sitting and waiting for something to show
I keep holding out cause I know what I know
Some say that it's stupid, I should get a life
Or maybe I'm crazy I should listen to my wife

Something it burns deep inside my mind
I'm looking around but nothing's in sight
I know what I know and He's gotta show
He wouldn't have lied to me and where would I go?

I'm here and I'm waiting I'm looking for you
My hopes and my dreams some say I'm a fool
I'm here and I'm waiting when will you arrive
Patient and strong till the end of my time

And then He comes round like a bright burning torch
He shines like no other like I've never seen
Approaching Him calmly bursting with joy
I can finally rest so I journey on home

The Call


I hear the call it beckons me
I'll leave my fear behind
Through it all I'll stand with him
In his glory I will shine

I have no need for trinkets
They'll only hold me back
He will supply all that I need
Now I'll go and won't look back

To all I meet, I'll share my knowledge
I'll be bold holding nothing back
I won't expect nothing much
For fame will break my back

I'm called, I'm called
I'll Stop waiting for permission
I'm called, I'm called
Will I accept my mission?
