White Flag

Pieces of me
Running from you
Trying to drown out your voice
I was fighting to go
In the opposite direction
Than the planet was spinning
I thought I'd die if I lost him
Holding on for dear life
So afraid of falling

We all fall down sometimes
But we can get back up again
I fell so hard and fast
Crashed and burned
And landed flat on my back
Don't wanna do that again
Maybe next time ill listen

You sent out a search light
And it landed on me
Found me almost dead in the darkness
You rescued me from
My final breath
I was limp in your arms
Your tears washed over me
Brought me my healing
I started to
Put one put in front of the other


We all fall down sometimes 
But we can get back up again 
I fell so hard and fast 
Crashed and burned 
And landed flat on my back
But you helped me get back up again 
Help me next time to listen

I was holding onto dear life for dear life
I buried myself in the arms of the One who made me 
And I'm stronger and I'm stronger 

So let a white flag be my banner 
Cause God knows I surrender
 So let a white flag be my banner 
Cause God knows I surrender
So let a white flag be my banner 
Cause God knows I surrender
So let a white flag be my banner 
Cause God knows I surrender

This is My Song

I tried to run away from you
It was all I knew to do
I was scared of getting hurt again
I was afraid of falling down
But you are the one that I love
You are the song in my heart
so I will sing and tell of my love
I will shout it out to the heavens up above
to the end of the world
This is my song

I will sing it
I will sing it
I will sing it
this is my song
I will sing it
I will sing it
to the end of the world
this is my song

God gave you to me
A gift so pure and free
So I will cherish with all that I have
I will grow and I will stand
on my own in the world
This is my song


I will sing it
I will sing it
I will sing it
this is my song
I will sing it
I will sing it
to the end of the world
this is my song



*SHINE*

I've been a shrinking violet
Hiding beneath the covers of my fears
I've been a pale wallflower
waiting for someone to ask me to dance
I've been holding out for the perfect moment
when the pieces come together
No more doubt no more hesitation
It is now or never to

Shine Shine
Shine Shine
in Glory like the sun

A butterfly must shed her cocoon
before she is free to fly
and I'm breaking out
of all that's held me locked inside
Oh how we burn the daylight we're given
as if we'll live forever
It's time to put aside our fears
and let the glory arise and

Shine Shine
Shine Shine
in Glory like the sun

You are the light of the world (like a city on a hill)
So let your light be seen by men (like a city on a hill)
Don't you know you're a child of the Most High
This starving world is in need of your light So

Shine Shine
Shine Shine
in Glory like the sun

Shine Shine 
Shine Shine
in Glory like the sun

Always

I know sometimes we feel so
Far away far away
But know always I am so
Close to you close to you
And I'm always thinking of you
I've always got you on my mind
I'm always thinking of you
I've always got you on my mind

Even if the sky falls
And the earth gives way
You'll be safe inside my heart always
Never will I ever leave you
Even if the stars fall down
You'll be safe in my arms
You'll be safe in my heart always


Don't cry tonight ill sing you a 
Lullaby lullaby 
Ill ask the moon to shine for you up
In the sky in the sky
And I'm always thinking of you
I've always got you on my mind
I'm always thinking of you
I've always got you on my mind


Even if the sky falls 
And the earth gives way
You'll be safe inside my heart always 
Never will I ever leave you
Even if the stars fall down 
You'll be safe in my arms
You'll be safe in my heart 
So make your home in my arms
Come live inside my heart 
Always

You Haikus.

You are over there
So far away from this place
But you feel so near

You can be my bed
Wrap me up in heavens kiss
Lay me down at night

You are so stubborn
Why can't you see more clearly
I won't spell it out

You kill me without
Using any real weapon
Except your silence

HOME.

HOME.

I've been craving something familiar
Old friends and eyes that I know
something familiar
Laughter I understand
Friendship that never fades
Old places and familiar streets
where the heartbeats match my heartbeat

So let it come like a wine
made from an orchard you own
like a romance that'll never fail
cause its homegrown
yeah I've been wanting
something to call my own
I think I'm just looking for home

We've known each other
a time or two before
But years passed and something's changed
Now I feel so safe and secure
You give me so much peace
You bring such hope to me
that all my dreams may finally become
a beautiful reality


So let it come like a wine 
made from an orchard you own
like a romance that'll never fail
cause its homegrown
yeah I've been wanting 
something to call my own
I think maybe I've found my home

Ive finally come back to where I belong
You are a sweet song that goes on and on and on
Sometimes you have to travel so far and so wide
before you finally realize
you're home

So let it come like a wine 
made from an orchard you own
like a romance that'll never fail
cause its homegrown
yeah I've been wanting 
something to call my own
I know I have finally found my home

Deepest Parts of Me

I so love that place where it's just the two of us and the world disappears and we go deep down into the waters, into the secret place.  We always dance on top of the ocean right on the waves...lately I just go as I am...  more so than ever before ...with the rawest honesty I have.  I trust him.  He won't reject me.  He won't stop loving me.  He always knows what to say.  He loves to take away my pain when I'm brave enough to let Him.  He loves to show me that His love and His power is bigger than my fear. I love His eyes and His face.  I want to let Him in to every corner every dark place where He can shine His light and bring healing and I always find Him and see Him in a greater way in those places.  Holy is our God.  So I wrote this song today as I was just worshipping Him.  

Deepest Parts

I don't have to hide 
I don't even want to try 
Anymore 

No more masks to cover me
Here I am in bare skin and free 

Cause You see through to the deepest parts of me 
You see through to places I can't even see 

Here I am again
Ready to let You in
Come into my heart 
And all the darkest parts of me, of me 

Cause you see through to the deepest parts of me 
You can see all the places I cannot see

Flowers and perfume fill every place 
When you come into every empty space yeah

And you call me beautiful
And you call me lovely 
And you call me and you call me and you call me 

You see through to the deepest parts of me 
You can see all the things I cannot see 

Flowers and perfume fill every place 
When you come into every empty space yeah

And you call me beautiful
And you call me lovely 
And you call me and you call me and you call me

I come running to you 
in the deepest darkest rooms  
And there I find you I find you I find you 
Holy holy holy
Worthy worthy worthy
And I find you and I find you and I find you.
