Crying out to you - 2005 (?)

Crying out to you
Hold me in the darkness
Let me cry
Let me breathe out your name
Save me from myself
Don’t let me go

Falling
Into the pits of every pain you caused
Secrets
Listening to lies untold
Crying
Never let me go

You reach your hand out
I’m grasping for your heart
You reach your hand out
Say we’ll never part
Now I reach out
Longing for your love to comfort
Know now
I’ll never let you go

Lies
Death to our love
Secrets
Creep up from the grave
Never
Tell me that you love me but
I’m not
The girl that you’re looking for

Slowly
I’m breaking
Lost in
This life of pain
Dying
Reaching out to you
Begging
No longer to love you

Choices of the Heart - 2005

An iron rose will never wilt
An ice-cold heart won’t break
Protect it from the world around
And cover it with stone

An iron rose rusts in the vase
The ice-cold heart will melt
Statues serve as pigeons’ roosts
The greatest always fall

A wilted rose is of no use
A broken heart won’t mend
Until you open it again
Casting stones breaks only bones

Protect yourself from all the world
And never live at all
Or open up and die inside
Will you live or hide?

Bittersweet Emancipation - 2005

Facing death with courage
Waiting to see God
Tears of losing earthly life
Joy of eternal salvation

A life of serving Christ our Lord
How much more can be asked?
Love, compassion, family
The things great life is made of

Striving for a better life
Suffer through the pain
Laugh in the face of darkness
Smile through the tears

Certain death, but not defeat
The Lord will always triumph
No sadness on his final day
A son is coming home

Anger grows beneath the snare - 2005

Anger grows beneath the snare
Of death and Satan’s glee
Grew the morning that you died
And sat upon his knee

History repeats itself
Time and time again
Another story saddens me
The broken hearts remain

Another one you tossed away
Another heart to break
Sweat rolls lightly from your brow
Another life did take

Another soul did wake
To the empty meaning of your love
Your words so full of lust
Secret passion, no substitute
Your players’ blood runs cold
Without the slightest hint of grief
You killed her heart again

Another one you tossed away
Another heart to break
Sweat rolls lightly from your brow
Another life did take

History repeats itself
Time and time again
Another story saddens me
The broken hearts remain

Anger grows beneath the snare
Of death and Satan’s glee
Grew the morning that you died
And sat upon his knee

Alone - 2005

Alone here in the darkness
Alone here in the crowd
They’re moving all around me
Yet no one makes a sound
Alone there in the darkness
Alone there in the crowd
You’re staring at the concrete
The ledge is closer now

Abortion's Grave - 2005

Killed in his mother’s womb
Unwanted, sigh in death
No breath shall meet his lips
Call him a “mistake”
This life is seen as nothing
Now his mother is his grave
She feels no grief
For she knows not what she’s done
“Only a fetus”
“Not life at all”
With his mother as his grave
Never had a chance to cry
God has taken him Home
This unwanted little child
He has made His own

A minute away - 2005

A minute away
Reaching out to you
Never know just why
We do the things we do
If only there was a way
If only a single glance
Could say it all
If only there as a way
To know why we live
To know why we die
Without knowing why we love
We love in secret
So we never hurt
We love in silence
‘Cause it would never work
Staring from across the room
Staring from worlds away
If only there was a way
We wouldn’t have to love this way
