Love is a Complicated Word

Love is a complicated word,
It can't be described by other words,
But it is tangible and powerful,
It is gentle and sweet.
Love is the feeling of coming home
After a long, long time away,
Love is the warm feeling
of a friend's embrace,
Love is a father's shoulder
That you can always cry on,
Love is the song sung
By many voices all as one,
Love is the crippled baby
Sleeping softly in my arms,
Love is the tear fallen
For the lost, hurt, and broken
Love is the loud laughter among
The very best of friends,
Love is the smile
on my brother's face.
Love is a baby boy,
Laying in a manger,
Love is the great joy
When He became our Savior,
Love is the blood
He poured out to save our souls,
Love is the dark emptiness
Of his tomb.
Love is a complicated word,
But the message it carries
Shakes us to our knees.

Trust

You can't earn back trust, you say?
I certainly beg to differ,
It is a part of being human.
We fall and make mistakes,
We hurt other people,
People we care deeply about.
It's hard to let them back in,
But we get up and try again
Because our goal as a race
Is to constantly better ourselves.
People who don't learn to trust
Don't learn how to live,
Live beyond survival.
To truly live is to love,
And to truly love is forgive,
Everybody deserves a second chance.

My Desperate Plea

Wake up, O my heart!
You have been asleep for too long!
When did you stop feeling the Almighty God
Shaking you awake?

Listen, O my heart!
You have been deaf for too long!
When did you stop listening to the Almighty God
Calling out your name?

Look up, O my heart!
You have been blind for too long!
When did your awe of the Almighty God
turn into something ordinary?

Fire up, O my heart!
You have been cold for too long!
When did your passion for the Almighty God
freeze within your veins?

Beat, Beat, O my heart!
you have been still for too long!
When did the love of the Almighty God
stop making you fall to your knees?

I Will

I have made some mistakes
And I have some regrets
But I will learn.

My heart has been broken
And my soul pierced straight though
But I will heal.

I have cried tears of pain
And I have screamed screams of anger
But I will laugh.

I have made enemies
And I have lost dear friends
But I will love.

I have failed
And I have screwed up
But I will succeed.

People tell me I will fall
And they tell me that I cannot
But I will.

Knowing

All my life I’ve known,
Known that I was worthless,
Known that life was meaningless,
Known that nobody cared.
I walked with my head down
Trying to hide the fear within,
And the pain written on my face.
I’m scarred deep in my soul
And some open wounds fester,
It’s ugly in the depths of my being,
A place not many have seen.
I didn’t know where to turn
I felt lost and all alone,
And then I saw the light.
I truly met the one
That can fix the hurt inside,
Now I walk with my head held high,
I know I’ve got a plan,
I know somebody loves me,
And I know that I have worth.

Beginning Anew

Walking through a crowd,
A crowd of new faces,
Some are quiet and some loud,
They’re all from different places

Smiles rain down as I pass them by
Wandering in a new direction
I look all around and sigh a big sigh
Because this happiness spreads like an infection

Here is where the past doesn’t matter
It is here I begin a new life
So I join in with all the laughter
Because I’ve forgotten about all the strife

So I lift my arms and dance
Because no one knows me
And they can see in a glance
That I’m all I can be.

Sky Dancing

I’m flying through the sky
At a 100 miles an hour
But I wish that I could fly
Under my own power

I wanna dance with a cloud
And the birds of the air
I wanna sing out loud
And let down my hair

You’ll be on the ground
While I’m dancing in the air
You’ll be safe and sound
When I’m flying up there

You’ll never feel any pain
But I’ll be truly living
Flying in the fast lane
While at home you’re sitting


Because I live every day
Like it was my last
So I laugh and I play
And I don’t regret the past

I don’t know how to fly
Under my own power
But I know I’m gonna try
And become a sky diver
