Looking at you now I see
Everything I know you'll be
Your heart it is so pure
Patience will endure
That's why I need to leave
His plan you must recieve
He has so much better than I can give
By God's amazing grace you will live
I'll always love you forever, please don't cry
I want what's best for you, so I'm saying goodbye
[Chorus]
And soon enough you will know
Why I had to let you go
Every now and then you'll find
Your broken heart with no peace of mind
But darling you'll realize someday
Smile to yourself and say
"It will be worth it all
It will be worth the wait
It will be worth all this hurt
It will be worth far more than the price we pay
You are worth the wait"

It Was You
This is a song I wrote about the amazing feeling and beauty of true love found in Jesus Christ, as well as the also amazing and beautiful, but not nearly as important; true love found with that incredible special someone.
Leaning my head upon your chest
Feeling your heartbeat
So secure in your arms
Never felt this close to anyone
Didn't want to be either
Until it took me by surprise
And you need to know
Did you even know
It was you who taught me to dance
It was you who showed me romance
It was you who gave me my delight
In mountains bathed in sunset's sight
It was you who took away my fear
In holding me close, for you are near
For the first time in my life I believe
Someone loves me who will never leave
Holding your hand in mine
Seeing your smile light up
Feeling joy for the first time
I never had this happiness
Didn't think I should either
Until it discovered me
And you need to know
Did you even know
It was you who taught me to dance
It was you who showed me romance
It was you who gave me my delight
In mountains bathed in sunset's sight
It was you who took away my fear
In holding me tight for you are near
For the first time in my life I believe
Someone loves me who will never leave
And I need to tell you
Because you need to know
Darling you have made me realize
There's such thing as true love after all
Because it was you
It was you who loved me
It was you that happened to me
It was you
It was you who loved me.
Leaning my head upon your chest
Feeling your heartbeat
So secure in your arms
Never felt this close to anyone
Didn't want to be either
Until it took me by surprise
And you need to know
Did you even know
It was you who taught me to dance
It was you who showed me romance
It was you who gave me my delight
In mountains bathed in sunset's sight
It was you who took away my fear
In holding me close, for you are near
For the first time in my life I believe
Someone loves me who will never leave
Holding your hand in mine
Seeing your smile light up
Feeling joy for the first time
I never had this happiness
Didn't think I should either
Until it discovered me
And you need to know
Did you even know
It was you who taught me to dance
It was you who showed me romance
It was you who gave me my delight
In mountains bathed in sunset's sight
It was you who took away my fear
In holding me tight for you are near
For the first time in my life I believe
Someone loves me who will never leave
And I need to tell you
Because you need to know
Darling you have made me realize
There's such thing as true love after all
Because it was you
It was you who loved me
It was you that happened to me
It was you
It was you who loved me.
Constant Reminder
I can't go a day without
Being reminded of you and me
There's an immortal picture
Of the Prince and the Princess
Sitting on my desk
There's an eternal song
You wrote for me
Back when we knew
We were the best
There's a million things
You left behind
That remind me
You and I are growing apart
But the thing
That reminds me the most of us
Is the thing called
Your beautiful heart.
Being reminded of you and me

But the thing
That reminds me the most of us

Your beautiful heart.
Something
How can two worlds combine
Me with yours, and yours with mine
Somehow when you look me in the eyes
I know there's a feeling deep inside
There's something we have is very different
Every time I try to speak I'm incoherent
This is so ridiculous, could it be
This thing that's happening to me
People say it's obvious, that they can tell
What's come over me and you as well
We're in love, that's what our friends say
And I smile because I know everyday
I fall in love with you, it's true
But I find myself not knowing what to do.
Me with yours, and yours with mine
Somehow when you look me in the eyes
I know there's a feeling deep inside
There's something we have is very different
Every time I try to speak I'm incoherent
This is so ridiculous, could it be
This thing that's happening to me
People say it's obvious, that they can tell

We're in love, that's what our friends say
And I smile because I know everyday
I fall in love with you, it's true
But I find myself not knowing what to do.

Heaven's Tears
Men may travel all o'er the world
Seeing such horrors and sins
They had not even imagined
They will come home from sea, from air, from train
And startle others with their tales of woe
And gain glory and the foll of fame and praise
That shall soon be forgot with passing days
For never has a sadder story the world known
Then that of the Man who had such a heart
So full of love for His dying children
That he left His kingdom and came from afar
Becoming nothing, whence He was a Lord
Suffered heartache and hardships a many
For those He came to save mistreated Him
His own dear children whipped and beat Him
They mocked Him and spat upon His face
And yet in the midst of this ridicule
The Man submitted to a punishment
For something He had never done
Poured out His blood on a splintered tree
Not a noble death twas in their eyes
The Man's Father cursed Him in anger raging
For His beloved He had sacrificed His Son
To die nailed to a wooden cross of torture
Blood and sweat pierced the Man's brow
He looked up begging His Father to stay
But the One in the sky did not listen
The Man's sorrow and agony were so great
And yet He breathed His last breath gladly
To the end without scorn nor hate
For through this death He saved us all
And set us free from bondage as slaves
So that someday we might live in the royal palace
With irredescent waves of beauty so great
And glimmering golden streets to walk upon
Nothing but lovely laughter and magnificent nature
To reside in glorious fellowship with Him
For all of time, from eternity to forever
For this He gave His own life for ours
And yet wherever men may travel
All over the world, back again and twice
They will always come across many a people
Who do such grevious horrors and sins
These also, and every one of us the Man died to save
And yet they whip Him and beat Him
His own children mock and spit upon His face
Rather than gratefully take His gift of love
And Hope for a home in the celestial city
They spite and scorn and hate the Man
Who poured out His heart's blood
For His lost and dying children
Though He knew it was worth it all
For through His death we are saved
They break His heart for He sacrificed
Greater love has no man than this:
His own life for them to live
For all of time, from eternity to forever
So when rain falls it brings with it
The beautiful Man's tears falling down
Never has a sadder story the world known
Than the story of Heaven's tears.
Seeing such horrors and sins

Plea (Part 1)
I hear your silent screams as you bend again
I see what you are doing
Shoving your feelings into the drawers
Of the chest that contains your heart
Forcing them closed so you won't give in
Shutting me out 'cause you don't want to feel
I can feel the torment even now
Do you know how much this hurts me?
Are you so out of touch with your soul
That you think you can't trust me?
I've been at your side this entire time
Begging for you to share the truth
And all the lies you've told yourself
Give me your pain for once
Let me carry your heavy burden
'Cause I can't stand to watch you drown
In the pool of careless depression
You slowly dug for yourself
Can't you see you're dying
Killing yourself inside this shell
And I look on so helplessly
As you sink even further down
And I scream And I shout
I'm giving you to the One you can't live without
God, can you please help me?
She's everything she doesn't want to be
She's giving up on life
She's going under the knife
Make her whole once more
Breathe Your grace into her core
She's so far away from You
Lord, I don't know what else to do
That little wisp of a girl is my very best friend
And Jesus, I don't want this to be the end
But she's fading quickly away
Save her another day
I see what you are doing
Shoving your feelings into the drawers
Of the chest that contains your heart
Forcing them closed so you won't give in
Shutting me out 'cause you don't want to feel
I can feel the torment even now
Do you know how much this hurts me?
Are you so out of touch with your soul
That you think you can't trust me?
I've been at your side this entire time
Begging for you to share the truth
And all the lies you've told yourself
Give me your pain for once
Let me carry your heavy burden
'Cause I can't stand to watch you drown
In the pool of careless depression
You slowly dug for yourself
Can't you see you're dying
Killing yourself inside this shell
And I look on so helplessly
As you sink even further down
And I scream And I shout
I'm giving you to the One you can't live without
God, can you please help me?
She's everything she doesn't want to be
She's giving up on life
She's going under the knife
Make her whole once more
Breathe Your grace into her core
She's so far away from You
Lord, I don't know what else to do
That little wisp of a girl is my very best friend
And Jesus, I don't want this to be the end
But she's fading quickly away
Save her another day

Beautiful Soul
You know what I discovered today?
Something so horrific that I must speak.
Something so horrific that I cannot be silent.
Something so horrific that I must be the voice for others who are unable to speak for themselves.
The others being babies.
3,000 unborn babies are that brutally murdered every day in the U.S. alone.
3,000 lives that have yet to live.
3,000 lives that will never see the sunrise when they wake up.
3,000 lives that could've amounted to so much, had they been given the chance.
3,000 lives that could've changed the world for the better, forever.
3,000 lives that were needed.
3,000 children that should've brought Joy to the lives of others.
3,000 beautiful souls.
3,000 trusting voices.
3,000 tiny screams.
3,000 innocent faces.
They are killed every day as a result of abortion, a cruel homicidal tactic.
A homicidal tactic that our government labels "choice".
That society as a whole labels "choice".
For some bizarre reason, soceity thinks that labeling this torturous procedure "choice" covers up the truth of MURDER in the first degree.
Every single one of those 3,000 babies that is murdered each day does not get the "choice".
They are the "thing" that their mother's "choice" is projected upon.
They are the writhing, wailing, grasping, kicking, weeping victim of this horrific "choice".
They are the lost voices of a generation that will never see their future.
You and I could be two of those lost voices.
Because of the providence of God, we who survive are the voices that were spared to speak out for the many millions that have lost their lives to abortion.
Since the Supreme Court's ROE V. WADE decision to nationally legalize abortion on January 22, 1973, over 51, 730, 939 babies have been murdered to date in America.
Over 1/3 of our generation have been mercilessly killed.
Stand up for what's right.
Stand up for those innocents that cannot stand up for themselves.
Speak out against abortion.
Take a stand for life today.
Because every life that hangs in the balance in this war of SURVIVAL vs. MURDER is a human being.
A human being that will make a difference.
