Hehehe...so you're wondering where I' ve been? Putting my poetry to music of course. :)

Well, okay, I can't really sing well...or at all...and I can't play the guitar well...but when has that ever stopped me from doing something? At least it's fairly close to what I intended...



Oh...and the original poem, if you wish... http://snoflake241.blogspot.com/2009/03/lift-me-up.html

Thank You

Thank you for letting me walk in on my own
Thank you for allowing me to fight my fights alone
Thank you for leaving me alone and without hope
Thank you for not caring if and how I coped
Thank you for not asking what happened in my life
Thank you for not caring about those tears I cried
Thank you for leaving me lost and hurt and scared
Thank you for showing me how much you didn’t care

For All Eternity

Well I felt so lost and lonely
Even standing in a crowd
And though others claimed to love me
I felt like odd man out
I didn’t know which way to turn
Or how to stay afloat
I didn’t have the strength to try
Or a single shred of hope

Then You touched my heart
And You opened my eyes
You showered me with mercy
And gave me a new life
You washed away my sins
And then You set me free
So I’ll bow before You now
And for all eternity

I found what I was missing
My emptiness is gone
And I no longer worry
When I see approaching storms
For I stand upon a Rock now
That I know cannot be moved
And God the Father loves me
His Son’s the living proof

He touched my heart
And He opened my eyes
He showered me with mercy
And gave me a new life
He washed away my sins
And then He set me free
So I’ll worship Him now
And for all eternity

I can’t believe I waited
So long to see the Truth
All those years I wasted
Demanding to see proof
But now my heart is flooded
With faith and love so strong
That I just can’t stop praising
My King, my Lord, my God!

Cause He touched my heart
And He opened my eyes
He showered me with mercy
And gave me a new life
He washed away my sins
And then He set me free
So I’ll lift His name on high
For all eternity

He washed away my sins
And then He set me free
So I’ll sing to Him praises
For all eternity

Child Of The King

It’s time to face another day,
Temptation standing in my way
With sin and doubt at every turn
You’d think by now I’d finally learn
To turn away and pass on by
From temptation of the night
Now all that’s left to do is pray
And when it comes to turn and say

I’m not a child of the night
I wasn’t made for such things
Into the darkness I’ll cry
I am a child of the King

How they laughed and how they grinned
When I told them I’d been born again
The didn’t want to see their sin
And tried to drag me down with them
“Have a drink” “No, have a light”
“One more look” “One more bite”
“Take what you want” “Take what you like”
“Everything will be all right”

But I’m not a child of the night
I wasn’t made for such things
Into the darkness I’ll cry
I am a child of the King

He came done once, He’ll come again
And all the world may tremble when
His majesty lights up the sky
But I for one, will gladly cry

I’m not a child of the night
I wasn’t made for this world
Into the darkness I’ll cry
I am a child of the Lord

I’m not a child of the night
I wasn’t made for such things
Into the darkness I’ll cry
I am a child of the King

Lift Me Up

Walking in this darkness is taking such a toll
Sometime I feel just like I’m fighting for my very soul
Well, I’ve studied all Your words, Lord, and I’m living in Your ways
But I need a little help down here to make it through today

I need a touch of Your hand; Or just a whisper from Your throne
A little something to remind me that I’m not on my own
When I’m feeling lost and lonely and ready to give up
I need a moment of Your grace to lift me up

I’m fighting the good fight and I’m walking in my faith
Oh, but Lord it’s hard to keep on going day after day
Well, I’d like to hear “Well done” when You finally call me home
Oh, but Lord I’m only human, I can’t do this alone

I need a touch of Your hand; Or just a whisper from Your throne
A little something to remind me that I’m not on my own
When I’m feeling lost and lonely and ready to give up
I need a moment of Your grace to lift me up

I’m not asking for a miracle, but it’s come to push and shove
If I’m gonna rise above this Lord, I need to feel Your love

I need a touch of Your hand; Or just a whisper from Your throne
A little something to remind me that I’m not on my own
When I’m feeling lost and lonely and ready to give up
I need a moment of Your grace to lift me up

When I’m feeling lost and lonely and ready to give up
I need a moment of Your grace to lift me up

I need a moment of Your grace to lift me up

I need a moment of Your grace, Lord, to lift me up

Joyful Noise

Joy, make a joyful noise
Oh, joy, make a joyful noise
Yeah, joy, make a joyful noise
To the Lord, our God above

He came to Earth to show the way
And told us we could be saved by faith
He allowed Himself to be crucified
So that we could be reconciled

Joy, make a joyful noise
Oh, joy, make a joyful noise
Yeah, joy, make a joyful noise
To the Lord, our God above

They put Him in a borrowed tomb
And sealed him in the deep dark gloom
But when He rose, all darkness cowered
For Sin and Death had lost their power

Joy, make a joyful noise
Oh, joy, make a joyful noise
Yeah, joy, make a joyful noise
To the Lord, our God above

He paid the price, He bore our sins
So that we could be born again
And now He rules from His throne above
Bathing us in His holy love

Joy, make a joyful noise
Oh, joy, make a joyful noise
Yeah, joy, make a joyful noise
To the Lord, our God above

Fogiveness can now be received
Because our Lord has set us free
All you need is to trust in Him
And He will wipe away every sin

Joy, make a joyful noise
Oh, joy, make a joyful noise
Yeah, joy, make a joyful noise
To the Lord, our God above

Joy, make a joyful noise
Oh, joy, make a joyful noise
Yeah, joy, make a joyful noise
To the Lord, our God above

Joy, make a joyful noise
Oh, joy, make a joyful noise
Yeah, joy, make a joyful noise
To the Lord, our God above

Yeah, another song. No, I don't know why.

The Way He Was When He Was Mine

You say he’s all but perfect
He fulfills your every need
He’s always sweet and loving
And you just can’t believe
How anyone could ever let him go
But, girl, just give him time
Prince Charming soon will be a toad
The way he was when he was mine

He’ll forget to say I love you
Then he’ll forget to come back home
He’ll hurry to another room
To whisper on the phone
He’ll tell you that you’re crazy
When you catch him in a lie
He’ll be cheating, no-good, lazy
The way he was when he was mine

Those flowers and cards he send you
Well soon they’re gonna stop
You’ll be sitting up all night long
Just staring at the clock
You think you’re gonna change hime
But girl you’re gonna find
That cheating’s just his way of life
And that’s why he’s no longer mine

He forgets to say I love you,
Then he forget to come back home
He hurries to another room
And whispers on the phone
He tells you that you’re crazy
When you catch him in a lie
He’s cheating, no-good, lazy
That’s the way he was when he was mine

Well, girl I’ve been right where you’re at
And I’ve cried those same tears
All I can say is don’t be like me
And go on wasting years

Where he forgets to say I love you,
Then he forget to come back home
He hurries to another room
And whispers on the phone
He tells you that you’re crazy
When you catch him in a lie
He’s cheating, no-good, lazy
That’s the way he was when he was mine

So don’t think you’re gonna change
His cheating way of life
He’s no-good, low down, lazy
The way he was when he was mine

Not my best work, but I like it.
