Piece of the Puzzle

There is so much to know
When you first meet a stranger
But then they become your friend
Sometimes even more
But still you have
So many questions
You want to piece them like a puzzle
And as you do
You learn more about yourself as well
You learn that puzzles
Aren't always meant to be put together
Sometimes a missing piece
Makes a little more interesting picture

I Wanna Know You

What mysteries lie beneath
The gravestones of your soul
What secrets do you keep
Locked in cages dank and musty
I wanna know it all
I wanna know you
When you lay down at night
What is it going through your mind
What stories do you tell yourself
That help you sleep at night
I wanna know it all
I wanna know you
Do your dreams reveal your desires
Or are your nightmares uncontrollable
Where does your mind go when you drift to sleep
I wanna know it all
I wanna know you

On Solid Ground

Where will it end
This line that I've been balancing on
When will my feet
Be on solid ground again
Where oh God
Have You gone
I feel as though
I'm deep in a pit
Where You can't reach me
Though I know its not true
You love me forever
No matter my stains
You wash them all away
You throw them out for good
Into the pool of the forgotten
You have already seen this fall
You know where I can stand
You guide me back
Into Your loving arms
Where I know
I don't have to worry any more
I'll once again be on solid ground

Seasons

Seasons are like life
Each one represents a stage
Spring a new born child
Budding and blooming
Children growing and learning
Summer the mid ages
Warm and relaxing
Young kids to adults happy where they are
Fall a passing
Quick changes and death of summer
Aging and passing away
Winter bleakness and uncertainty
White and muffled
Death a mystery and unknown ends
Seasons come and go
Just as people do
So enjoy each season
As though your last
Fall is just around the corner

Autumn

The chilly air
Sharp and crisp
Blowing around us
Do you hear the leaves
Crunching beneath our feet
Rustling as they are blown about
Autumn is here
Time of change
Time of beauty
Colors are vivid before the dull
Smells are enhance before the nothingness
The night sky slowly becoming clearer
Fall has arrived
And the Season of passing is upon us
Goodbye sweet Summer
Hello pungent Fall

Healing Rain

I'm standing in the rain
I feel it soak my skin
I do not feel cold though
All I feel
Is the healing power
God pour out
Your healing rain
Wash away all my sin
Cleanse my body
Wipe away the blood
My arms are stretched wide
My face turned skyward
Father pour it all out
Fill my with Your Holy Spirit
Pour it out til I can't take any more
Father Your healing rain

Until My Last Breath

If I could write a song
I'd write it for you
The lyrics I sing
Bringing you praise
Love and mercy
Flowing from my lips
All for You my King
Praise and honor
Be unto Your name
I will sing to You
Until my last breath
