more than three words

we'll do it all, everything on our own

we don't need anything or anyone

if i lay here, if i just lay here

would you lie with me and just forget the world?

i don't quite know how to say how i feel

those three words are said too much they're not enough

if i lay here, if i just lay here

would you lie with me and just forget the world?

forget what we're told, before we get too old

show me a garden that's bursting into life

let's waste time chasing cars around our heads

i need your grace to remind me to find my own

if i lay here, if i just lay here

would you lie with me and just forget the world?

forget what we're told before we get too old

show me a garden that's bursting into life

all that i am, all that i ever was

is here in your perfect eyes, they're all i can see

i don't know where, confused about how as well

just know that these stains will never change for us at all

if i lay here, if i just lay here

would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Lovesick

quiet memories

My thoughts have been quiet of You of late, I guess we're coming to that part of the relationship where things might not be easy; affection gets a little slow, thoughts are a little painful. What can I say to bring You out again?

Can I go back to that moment, that fairytale moment when You were all that mattered in my thoughts? When our spirits clicked and sparks flew, when ecstasies were all we brought out in each other. Let's go back there, just one more time.

At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song

At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I have looked at YOU

I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I, can call my own
I found a thrill, to press my cheek to
A thrill that I, have never known

You smiled, You smiled
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For You are mine at last

music&lyrics: Jason Lawrence

Go on honey, take a chance!

You wonder, has it come just to pass, or is it here to stay?
Will it be with you a lifetime, or only a few days?
Can you put your weight down and trust that it will hold?
Will it be a fire that warms you, or will it leave you feeling cold?
Well, you don't know now, but you can know.

If you take a chance on My love, you can know My fire.
Take a chance on us, let Me fulfill your heart's desire.
Give to Me your heart that's aching and broken.
I will warm and heal you with My love,
There'll be no regrets.

If you'd share with Me your heart for just five minutes,
Share your warmth, your love, you'd see,
And know the joy that there is in it.
It's not a game, I know; opening up is always tough,
But if you let the loving flow, you'll find My love is enough.
And that I know, and that you can know.

Please don't close up your heart and push My love aside,
Even if it don't make sense to you.
I just can't hide the way I feel here inside Me,
And how I care for you.
Let Me have a chance to show you that My love is true.

Take a chance on My love, you can know My fire.
Take a chance on us, let Me fulfill your heart's desire.
Give to Me your heart that's aching and broken.
I will warm and heal you with My love,
There'll be no regrets.

All I Can Think Of

All I can think of is loving You, when my gaze reaches Your lips then I do
And all I can dream of is holding You, when I hold You I know I'm supposed to
When Heaven's halls open like this I come into Your presence and leave with a kiss, and I praise
Every part of Your glory and beautiful grace, I love You

I can't close my heart when You love me, every touch is surrounded by majesty,
I know I was made to adore You, now my soul is awake to explore You
When Heaven's halls open like this I come into Your presence and leave with a kiss, and I praise
Every part of Your glory and beautiful grace, I love You

The birds they dance, the trees they sing, You're Master over everything
I don't know how this came to be, but my heart I believe

And all I can think of is loving You, when my gaze reaches Your lips then I do
And all I can dream of is loving You, when I hold You I know I'm supposed to
When Heaven's halls open like this I come into Your presence and leave with a kiss, and I praise
Every part of Your glory and beautiful grace, I love You

'Cause all I can think of is loving You.

ps: if anyone out there knows some good songs that we can dedicate to Jesus, then please let me know and I might post them here for Him. Thx.

He Will Never Leave

I will never leave thee, - nor forsake thee,
I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee,
For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed;
But My kindness shall not depart from thee,
I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee

I will even make a way in the wilderness,
And rivers in the desert,
I will not leave you comfortless:
I will come to you

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed;
But My kindness shall not depart from thee,
I will never leave thee,
I will never leave thee,
I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee

Hebrews 13:5b; Isaiah 54:10b; 43:19b; John 14:18

A Reason

song 'the Reason'
composed and performed by Jaz

Just thinking ...

... just thinking of You. I'm happy now.

I'm just sittin' here thinkin' about Jesus, rockin' as my old chair creaks
Some glad day I'll fly away when Jesus comes calling for me
It might be today, it might be tomorrow, maybe one day next week
I'll soon be done with trouble and sorrow when He comes calling for me
When Jesus comes calling for me

When I die don't grieve and cry
Lordy, don't feel sorry for me
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

I might be in the graveyard walking talking to my family
Or I might be plowing in the field down yonder, just old Muley and me
Wherever I am, whatever I'm a doing, some sweet day I'll see
And band of angels in a cloud of glory when Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

When I die just close my eyes
And lay me 'neath the willow tree
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When Jesus comes calling for me
When Jesus comes calling for me

I'm just sittin' here watchin' for Jesus, rockin' as my old chair creaks
Some sweet day I'll fly away when Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

I didn't make this post just to be worldly, You know that right Lord? I'm just thinking about You, the whole time. I'm thinking about You today, in everything I do. I love to have you with me all the day long, and then stop and look into Your face and think about You some more. You're the sunshine of my life. You make even the rain beautiful with Your sparkles, You make the storm something amazing with Your thunder and lightening! Everything around me proves Your power and Your wonder! And Your love. -- Yes, even those sunny days, when we can laugh and dance in the grass.

I say this now, not because I'm crying, not because I'm hurt or upset. On the contrary, I'm happy. And what's more, I know I'm going to be happy for the rest of my life, because I have You. Come rain or come shine, come tears or laughter, inside I'm happy. I'm in love with You.

I Will Hold On

Performed by: Haven & Steven, Song by: Haven

I'm so glad this song came out so I could share it like someone shared it with me. When I watched this video I imagined how Haven might have felt hurt or betrayed when she had to go through that really trying time, the time that squeezed this beautiful song from her, and went on to be the connection with those that she could witness to with it, people that she couldn't have touched if she hadn't been touched with the feelings of heartbreak and discouragement. It makes me think about anyone of us who believe in the Lord, and can't imagine why He lets us go through difficult time. Because we need to have that broken heart. We can't expect to go on and not understand the difficulties that others go through in this world, while we go merrily on our way. All the difference is that the Lord is making us into something beautiful, whether we can write that beautiful song that Haven wrote or not, our lives are beautiful when He squeezes that lovely something that makes us worth listening to, worth living.

Jesus. Make me beautiful, help me to receive the gift with open arms and to make it with You. I'm so worthless, make me worth it. Thank You Jesus!

You never said that it would be the easy way,
But You won't give me more than You know I can take.
You never said that the world would accept me,
I'm set apart to be only Yours, and that's where I wanna be.

And I will go on,
I will stand strong even if I'm alone.
And I will hold on,
I'll carry on until my last dying breath, until You come to carry me Home.

You never said that I wouldn't bear a heavy load,
But You'll be with me as I walk down life's road.
You never said that I wouldn't feel lonely,
But when I'm alone it's when I see your face, much more clearly.

You never said that I wouldn't have a heartbreak,
But a life that that's broken You can can completely remake.
You never said that I wouldn't feel like crying,
But You dry my tears and give me the strength to keep on trying.

Light of Your Love

I saw how You stooped to lift a child,
Watched how You gently, kindly smiled.
That's when I knew how much I wanted
To be part of You.
I saw how You mended broken lives
Felt how You cared and sympathized
Saw how their heartaches made You cry,
And I loved the heart of You.

And all of my hopes, my dreams, my fears,
Seem to dissolve within Your tears,
And I longed to hold You near & tell You I loved You.
And all of life's cruel and stinging trials
Vanished be fore Your gentle smile.
That's when I knew my heart's desire
Was to spend my life walking in the light of Your love.

And when You held my upturned face,
Tenderly dried my tears away,
All of my past Your love erased,
And I was born anew.
Then I saw what it cost You to be free.
I wept as I watched You die for me.
That's when I knew that I would be
Forever in love with You.

And all of my hopes, my dreams, my fears,
Seem to dissolve within Your tears,
And I longed to hold You near & tell You I loved You.
And all of life's cruel and stinging trials
Vanished be fore Your gentle smile.
That's when I knew my heart's desire
Was to spend my life walking in the light of Your love.

And when You rose again and came to me,
I knew Your love was for all eternity,
And You would come one day and take me
To be with You.

And in that Land of no more tears,
And in that Time beyond all years,
You would embrace me, hold me near,
And tell me You loved me.
Where all of life's cruel and stinging trials
Vanish beneath Your radiant smile,
And You fulfill my heart's desire,
And I'll be There forever
Living in the light of Your love.

Living in your love, forever I'll be there.

I Need You Jesus

LeAnn Rimes singing I Need You (theme song to the film JESUS)

I don’t need a lot of things
I can get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring
I’ve always needed something
But I’ve got all I want
When it comes to loving You
You’re my only reason
You’re my only truth

I need You like water
Like breath, like rain
I need You like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in Your arms
That carries me through
I need You

You’re the hope that moves me
To courage again
You’re the love that rescues me
When the cold winds, rage
And it’s so amazing
’cause that’s just how You are
And I can’t turn back now
’cause You've brought me too far

I need You - oh yes I do!
I need You
I need You

amazing grace

I used to think this song was dull and lifeless (maybe it was just to do with people singing it in church with just that... no life), but now, it's got a certain something to it. I imagine that it comes to everybody at sometime in their life, it just kinda clicks, and these words begin to make sense, so they're not just words anymore, they're a song from the heart.

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found,
was blind but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!

The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

The world shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun refuse to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we'd first begun.W

ords: stanzas 1-6 John Newton, 1779; stanza 7 John Rees (nineteenth century)

alive, touchable: reality

In these moments when everybody's gone: I feel so alone, it's so dark here. There's not even a spark here to warm the cold in my soul.

I want to reach out and touch You, I want You to be real! I want to hold You, I want to know You! In a way I can feel.

Then You come alive, so alive! I know You are really here. You shine a light so bright, now You feel so near - because You are! You're really here!

I can see why You brought me to this dark lonely place, with my heart filled with so many other things, for you there just wasn't space. But now that I've felt You so deep in my heart I never want too go away - please Lord don't ever let me stray, let Us never be apart.
