Crying (a song)

I walk the floor of the lonely home
I look out at the grey skies
Alone I pace the room
And lay down because I can take it no longer

I'm crying, I'm crying
Longing for the arms I cannot reach
See my tears on my face and heart
Signs of the battle inside
I'm crying, hear my pain
I don't want to be alone anymore

Fever in my mind and soul
God free me from solitude
Alone I am at loss
And grieving because I thought I was strong alone

I'm crying, I'm crying
Longing for a friendly face and smile
See my tears on my face and heart
Signs of the battle inside
I'm crying, hurts so hard
I can't stand to be alone anymore

But I'm too weak to move
Too scared to change
Breaking from my flaws and wrongs
God why give me cares and love,
Sensitivity and compassion
When I'm too weak to be any of these things
I'm useless
broken
dying
I can't stand to be alone anymore

I'm crying, I'm crying
Longing to share the joy of life
See my tears on my face and heart
Signs of the battle inside
I'm crying, yet softly
I don't want to be alone anymore.

Black Flight

One solitary feather I found,
The breeze teasing it off the ground.
In the light, the way it fluttered,
The raven's name I spluttered.
Long had they not been seen,
But upon this land, upon this green,
The violet and the blue,
The green and golden true,
Shine so soft within my hand.
Where does it fly, its owner grand?

I looked in the distance to see him there,
The places he had been I knew not where.
But there he flew, quick and strong
Onward, onward, his flight so long.
May-hap it be that I live as he,
My journey flows o'er land and sea,
Our paths are the same, this raven and I,
We both have hearts that touch the sky.
Though through trials and troubles we trod,
Still we fly, the created of God.

Walking On Water

I'm struggling, can't see my way.
I hope to find the answer to clear my path.
My belief in myself wavers,
But then is when I see my faith shine like the dawn:
My Savior, my Guide keeps calling me,
Whispering my name.
"Lord if You are willing," I cry,
"Let me be blind no more."
A hand reaches out...


The boat rocks to and fro,
I look at the grey raining heavens and turn away,
As my glance crosses the sea,
He is there, walking my way.
Like a ghost, like a dream,
Telling me not to be afraid.
"Lord if it is You," I cry,
"Tell me to come to You on the water."
A hand waves and beckons...


Take my life
Take my will
Take my soul
Take all of me.
I am done with who I am
And how I am living.
Show me the way.
Change my life from the inside,
So I can have the courage to change the world around me.
Give me peace as I face the place I'm about to step.
I've made my choice,
Show me it's right.
Guide me in my new day.


I step out onto the cool water.
My feet feel the moisture that supports me.
I step again, and again.
But then I look up and see the storm.
My concentration shatters,
And the waves rise around me.
"Lord save me!" I cry,
And I sink.
A hands catches me...


"Why did you doubt?"
Came the whisper.
"I was here the whole time.
Why did you doubt?"
And the storm subsides...
