Chapters

After much pain, the door of the past closed behind her and she found herself staring at a new chapter in her life. Although what had been was not to be any more, she felt a smile within. She was free, free from all attachments and obligations, yet longing for more substance than ever. Although she knew nothing about what lay ahead, she had a good feeling about this one. There was a new chapter waiting around the corner, wanting to be lived.

Courage in You

Embrace by the night
I wake up to daylight
I look up to see your face
You smile as you show me grace
I love you more than words can tell
You who carried me through hell
Wiping away every tear
You were always so very near

Embrace by the night
Woken by daylight
My soul finds its voice
Deep within
It's the voice of the heart
That speaks out without fear of the dark
A voice of courage and of soul
A voice you placed inside of me


Embrace by the night
Surrounded by daylight
I wake up to see your face
You smile and show me grace
In all that I have been through
I have always been loved by you
I keep you forever close to my heart
For with you, I have peace even in the dark

The Story of the Tree

He was cut in the middle

He was wounded from the side

He was pierced in the heart

And left in the heat to die

His enemies celebrated victory

Parading on his behalf

The tree was cut and bleeding

It would bother them no more

But they underestimated his presence

Measuring victory by what they could see

For his roots were deep and founded

And He found water where they could see none

And that Tree is forever my hero

For he grew to be wide and lush

Emerging from brittle lowliness

To stretch out for the rest of us

Yes, that tree is forever my hero,

He who suffered in the sun

He brought comfort to the weary

And allow us all to be one

Knowing you

To help you, I must know you

Understand what your heart desires

Find the solution to your problems, not my own.

To know you, I must be with you

Take a moment and just be still, 

even when my own life is calling me.

 To understand you, I must sit down and listen

Find out where you are coming from

And what makes your world so rich in peace

Then I realise that although I came to help you,

You made me stumble upon life quality, 

And so you are the one who helped me.

Take my hand

Take my hand

Let me be small

Lead me through

To the other side

Where the rivers flow

And the flowers grow

Where I don't need to know

What my tears are telling me

Just take my hand

You God of all who understand

Let me small

Without needing to know it all

And take me where

The flowers grow

The rivers flow

Where I can know

That I am loved as I am
