Voiceless Call

Little boy sits alone in the world.
Small and fragile, hair full of curls.

Wondering where his friends have gone to play,
Hoping to talk to someone that day.

His parents discarded him from their lives,
Showing him that it's his birth they despise.

He sits alone and confused,
Not seeing reason for his parents' abuse.

They're too busy to show him love,
Too tired, to impatient to give him enough.

If only someone will hold him in their arms,
Saving him from his own family's harm.

But for now he will sit silent and small,
Lonely in a world with a voiceless call.

Stone Heart

As I walk among the Fallen Leaves,
Depths of Towering Trees,
Blooming Flowers caress my feet,
As I ponder deeper through the brush.

A small bluebird flutters by,
I pull a branch from the interference of my eye,
Enclosed in a wall of Weaving Vines,
Stands an Abandoned Shadow.

Pulling back the thorn-thick entrance sealed,
A Stone Door is revealed.
Pushing against it's solid stubbornness,
I am unable to go inside.

So, I search.
Search for a way to its opening,
Under a Secret Compartment, the key,
Hidden from the blind eye below.

A small drop of blood seeps,
Pouring from my outstretched reach,
Punctured by the thorn inside.

Pinching the key in my hand,
I open the thick, Stone Door and stand.

Inside, I find nothing.
Nothing by barren twigs and Loneliness
A place of Forgotten Memories and all that's miss-ing.

Quietly I wander
Amongst the amiss debris asunder,
Wondering where each part belonged-
Realizing that they are Broken Pieces,

Broken pieces of your heart.

Rollercoaster of Life

Click, click, click, click.

The rollercoaster rises,

Higher and Higher.



Feelings of excitement,

The climb.

Yet FEAR,

Knowing it will

At any moment,

Twisting and turning

Jerking from the

to the

Right.

Until....

WHAM!



It stops.



Sigh of relief exhales,

At the sudden break.

The moment is fleeting,

As the rollercoaster rises again,

Ready for another decent.



I WANT OFF.

I don't want to ride anymore.

I'm tired.

Tired of the ups and downs.

Tired of feeling,

Completely,

Sick.



LET ME OFF!

The coaster climbs on.

LET ME OFF!

The pinnacle has come,

Ready to take me to yet another

When is life going to stop feeling Upside Down?

And LET ME OFF this rollercoaster?

VOID

Listen.
Listen to me cry out.
Don't you hear me?
Don't you feel my pain?
I'm SCREAMING.
Yet you turn your back.
I reach for you.
But you pull your hand
Away.

Look.
Look at my shattered heart.
Don't you see me?
Don't you taste my tears?
I'm bleeding.
Yet you mock me.
I plead to you.
But you choose to walk
Away.

STOP.
Stop all this senseless hurt.
Don't you love me?
Don't you want it to end?
I'm dying.
Yet you let me.
I saved you.
But your heart has gone
Away.

In the Presence of Our King


Jesus, where can I go?
To get away?
And, where can I be,
To just be free?
Where can I run,
Except into your arms?

Your arms that rescue me.


Because Your love is endless.
It knows no boundaries.
From the wings of the dawn
To the far side of
The sea.

Your love surrounds me.



Jesus, where can I hide
In the darkness of night?
Where can I run
When you shine like the sun?
Where can I flee
Except into your arms?

Your arms that rescue me.


Because Your love is endless.
It knows no boundaries.
From the wings of the dawn
To the far side of
The sea.

Your love surrounds me.


You search me
And You know me.
You take all my
Thoughts before Thee.
You guide me
And You hold me

In Your hands.

Spin

V.1

I remember a girl named Lily,
Who used to stand before the mirror,
With bows adorning her pigtails
And pink lace and all the frills.

She used to think she was a princess
Or the queen of this world,
But somewhere along the line
Something changed in her mind

And then I lost my little girl.


Chorus

Spin, Lily, Spin.
Spin, Lily, Spin.
Spin, Lily, Spin.
Spin, Lily, Spin

Let your fears be washed away.
Let's go back to yesterdays.
When you're young and livin' free,
Oh, Lily, won't you come with me?
And Spin.


V.2

I remember the days of glory,
When Lily knew who she was.
Never had a care in the world,
Or worried if she measured up.

Then along came the TV screen,
And models in those magazines.
Girls pretendin' they're her friends,
And boys stealin' her innocence.

I wonder where's my little girl?

With Jesus

V. 1

There is no other place that
I'd rather be
Than with you, Jesus,
Kneeling at your feet.

There is no other place that
I'd rather run
Than to you, Jesus,
Straight in your arms.


Chorus

With Jesus
I receive forgiveness and grace.
With Jesus
Let your beauty shine on my face.

Your mercies new,
And love that's true,

With Jesus.


V.2

There is no one else
I can fully trust
Than you, sweet Jesus,
Your unfailing love.

There is no one else
With the strength to stay
But you, my Jesus,
Never walk away.
