Jesus, You are my life
Creator, my delight
No one else but You
no one but you
no one but you
no one but you, Jesus
By grace You saved me
Made my heart new
I belong only to You
I'm yours now
I'm yours now
I'm yours now, Jesus
There's no other Jesus
You are King of me
I follow as You lead
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You, Jesus

Hold Me Father
Rains flood my mind
storms rage all around
lost in my dreams
once again
Hold me again Father
keep me from falling
am I all alone
cant say what I want to say
My heart is trapped
damaged, broken
from his hate and rage
my love stolen away
Hold me again Father
keep me from falling
am I all alone
cant say what I want to say
Is it only begun
or does time stand still
do I go on from here
finding a way through the fire
Hold me now, Lift me high
Hold me now, Lift me so high
Believe in love
everlasting, holding
so forevermore
Hold me again Father
keep me from falling
am I all alone
cant say what I want to say
Hold me now, Lift me high
hold me now, lift me so high
storms rage all around
lost in my dreams
once again
Hold me again Father
keep me from falling
am I all alone
cant say what I want to say
My heart is trapped
damaged, broken
from his hate and rage
my love stolen away
Hold me again Father
keep me from falling
am I all alone
cant say what I want to say
Is it only begun
or does time stand still
do I go on from here
finding a way through the fire
Hold me now, Lift me high
Hold me now, Lift me so high
Believe in love
everlasting, holding
so forevermore
Hold me again Father
keep me from falling
am I all alone
cant say what I want to say
Hold me now, Lift me high
hold me now, lift me so high

You Let Me Shine
V1: My fight is over now
brought down to my knees
bits and pieces
all broken before You
CH: You hold me so tight
You lift me so high
You love me
V2: This world so hard
cold as ice
my pain opened
before Your eyes
CH: You let me shine
you let me shine
V3: Words of hate
racism satans playground
wars kill many so loved
the blood runs deep
CH: You let me shine
you let me shine
V4: Calamity abounds
this one hides the bruises
many small hands out
while this one cries
CH: You hold me so tight
You lift me so high
You love me
V5: Darkness spreads out
hunger burns in the night
disease killing young and old alike
CH: You let me shine
you let me shine
V6: That day come soon
your love chosen long ago
to save us, bind us
to home in heaven
CH: You let me shine
you let me shine
(I pray it is You that shines within me loving all You created, full of humility and grace, sharing Your love with all I meet)

Your Word
V1: You fill my heart up
it overflows now
my longing is yours
CH: Your word is my vow
to cherish, store up
and spread around
V2: All of heaven sings to You
I hear the angel's song
upon the whispers in the wind

living among us
hands cherishing
all those around
V3: Father, my King
walk with me now
hand in hand
CH: Your word is my vow
to cherish, store up
and spread around

golden rays shine
leaves crimson and orange
sparkling white dusts the ground

Jeweled Dreams
Gliding effervesently
through this watery
grave so low
Memories stir
A fateful sigh
Gone are the rubies
gone are the pearls
Diamonds dangling
along the coral reef
glimmer and shine
Memories stir
A fateful sigh
will you ever
be mine
(wow, nearly forgot about this silly thing...it was written when i first fell in love with my husband over a decade ago...kind of a girly silly poem but hey, when those feelings are all jumbled up inside my thing to do is write, and write and write)

Dreams Come True
Your first breath I heard
an angel say in my ear
Don't cry my child
no need for this fear.
Your daughter is here
to bring you years of cheer.
My baby girl
momma's dream
came true
I looked upon you
so tiny, so fragile
adorable and cute
I vowed then and there
you would be around
long after I was gone
My baby girl
momma's dream
came true
(i wrote this in 95' after our son was born while still in the hospital, as was there for 2 weeks. this was written about our daughter as giving birth to another premature baby brought back all the memories of when i gave birth to her premature and watched as she came from my womb not breathing and holding my own breath until the doctor's finally put her in my arms after working on her for a little bit, this small story is of what i felt and heard after her birth)

Goin' to love you a long time
V1: Baby blue eyes smilin up at me
an angel from above
Your tiny hands reaching upward
they grab onto me.
CH: Momma's goin to love you

I see your daddy in you
V4: His smile, his nose

Distant Memories
V1: Scattered leaves on the ground
soft breeze blowing in the night
waitin' for you to notice me
as the world turns around
CH: (softly) Lord, I just pray
please take away his pain
V2: Years slipping by
these memories so dear
i hold deep inside
CH: (softly) Lord, I pray
down on bended knee
show him unconditional love
V3: Misty rains washin' away my tears
wondering what went wrong
prayin' he'll give us another try
CH: (softly) Lord, I pray
please take away his pain
V4: Don't wanna lose him
need him close by
love so deep, so true
CH: (softly) Lord, I pray
down on bended knee
show Him your almighty grace
V5: Hurt goes on, so long now
biding my time,
wondering what went wrong
CH: (softly) Lord, I pray
take his heart
and cherish him
V6: Softly fallin' asleep
distant memories reach out
tears slip down
CH: (softly) Lord, I pray
make it new
make it alright
(this song i wrote last year. it deals with my struggles within my marriage and dealing with a man whose past still haunts him. i can only hope and pray that i have loved him unconditionally as Christ taught me)

Torn
V1: Lay quiet, lay still
dusk turns to dark
cry out, oh so silently
CH: torn, in pain,
its' all so wrong now
V2: Shattered now
tears of ice
ripped, and torn
CH: cold, all alone
its' all so wrong now
V3: Screaming Your name
hiding out of sight
bruised and bleeding
CH: save me, take me
just love me
V4: Broken, all alone
dreams dying
whispers in the air
CH: this fear takes hold
why don't You make
it go away
V5: Wake me now
this life is gone
i'm all alone
CH: fear subsides, so still
Your here
by my side
(this song was written many, many years ago when i was young. the grace of my Lord saved me but it would be many years before i realized that no matter what happened to me in my past He loved me unconditionally and i was special to Him for He created me. my fears are long gone, there is no more pain, for He lifted me out of the darkness a long time ago.)
