as chris tomlin's song rings true in many hearts, it's one that fights to escape from mine. rediscovering his amazing grace isn't as dignified as i remembered it... it's messy but at least it's real. he is my crutch, my one and only real thing i can lean on. especially now and a rising hope - for forever.
chris tomlin's "i will rise"
there's a peace i've come to know
though my heart and flesh may fail
there's an anchor for my soul
i can say, it is well
jesus has overcome
and the grave is overwhelmed
the victory is won
he is risen from the dead
and i will rise
when he calls my name
no more sorrow, no more pain
i will rise, on eagle's wings
before my god
fall on my knees,
and rise...
i will rise
there's a day that's drawing near
when this darkness breaks to light
and the shadows disappear
and my faith shall be my eyes
and i hear the voice of many angels sing
worthy is the lamb!
and i hear the cry of every longing heart
worthy is the lamb!

quest for intimacy
tippy toes, ready to launch
i asked the question that invited the challenge
to go on a quest for intimacy - with God and the family around me
there's no way but forward
yet reasoning grabs my ankles, or is it fear disguised?
i stay and consider
really count the cost
tippy toes, here i go!

victory realised
scattered thoughts screaming
running emotions rattling
against the bars of a prison cell
they're trapped inside
unable to break free
cos they're not worthy
created from the darkest of pits
they seek only to satisfy themselves
they feed till their own bellies burst
and destroy everything, everyone around
to only return to the darkest of pits
starve i say! starve and die!
it is no longer i that live
it is Christ Himself who thrives
and stands free
on the other side of this cell
with me
staring straight into the enemy's eyes
we win.

another day is here
another day - by Sons of Day
another day is starting
the peace is broken now
i get up on my feet again
forgetting yesterday
the sun is climbing higher
into the open sky
the people moving quickly
to where they need to be
another day is starting
i don’t know where to go from here
i’m searching for You now
i hope to find You here
another day is starting
i’m trying hard to clear my head
i’m thinking of You now
and all the things You’ve said
and as i’m walking through the streets
i see a lonely face to greet
a smile will always cheer me up
from all the people that I meet
another day I’m looking
i’m searching for direction
i’m lost without You here
i don’t know where I am
another day is starting
i don’t know where to go from here
i’m searching for You now
i hope to find You here
another day is starting
i’m trying hard to clear my head
i’m thinking of You now
and all the things You’ve said
i am searching everywhere
i’ve been searching everyday
just to find that You are here
and You’re with me now
another day is starting
the peace is broken now
i get up on my feet again
forgetting yesterday
the sun is climbing higher
into the open sky
the people moving quickly
to where they need to be
another day is starting
i don’t know where to go from here
i’m searching for You now
i hope to find You here
another day is starting
i’m trying hard to clear my head
i’m thinking of You now
and all the things You’ve said
and as i’m walking through the streets
i see a lonely face to greet
a smile will always cheer me up
from all the people that I meet
another day I’m looking
i’m searching for direction
i’m lost without You here
i don’t know where I am
another day is starting
i don’t know where to go from here
i’m searching for You now
i hope to find You here
another day is starting
i’m trying hard to clear my head
i’m thinking of You now
and all the things You’ve said
i am searching everywhere
i’ve been searching everyday
just to find that You are here
and You’re with me now

love of my life
you are the love of my life
the smile on a winter's morn
you are the rock of my life
the calm after the storm
you are the voice in my heart
the fragrance of spring in bloom
you are the one next to me
the theatre with curtains down
you are the tickle in my throat
the giggles and laughter all boisterous and loud
you are my prince
my one and only
the one i cannot live without
you are my all, my life
the smile on a winter's morn
you are the rock of my life
the calm after the storm
you are the voice in my heart
the fragrance of spring in bloom
you are the one next to me
the theatre with curtains down
you are the tickle in my throat
the giggles and laughter all boisterous and loud
you are my prince
my one and only
the one i cannot live without
you are my all, my life

treasury masqueraded
i see paint peeling off
these walls of masquerade
i see only brick and mortar
nothing else until...
a thundering pound crashed
against these walls, my walls
a crack opened into another room
of treasures, inviting me
my hand reaches out, yet my eyes
still look back
turn my eyes, my treasure hunter
to step in
these walls of masquerade
i see only brick and mortar
nothing else until...
a thundering pound crashed
against these walls, my walls
a crack opened into another room
of treasures, inviting me
my hand reaches out, yet my eyes
still look back
turn my eyes, my treasure hunter
to step in

your countenance
Light Of Your Face - Misty Edwards
O Lord bless me and keep me cause Your face to shine on me
Lord be gracious lift the light of Your countenance give me peace
I live only to see your face so shine on me
Let the light of Your face shine down on my heart and let me feel it
