God gives life

Sometimes I feel far away
because I put myself
at a distance anyway

I want to run
in two different directions
then I realize
Your work has just begun

God you open my eyes
when I need it most
I've come to realize
my old self has died

CHORUS:
You open my eyes
when I feel to far to touch
You open my eyes
when I run in cirlces of distress
God, you are the only One


tag:
who can give me life
who can bring air to my lungs
who can give strength to the hopeless

------------------------------
A lesson taught on Jesus Christ: Everything we need, at my bible study really opened my eyes to sometimes how we as Christians can live. We can go through the motions of a christian, we can want success so badly that we make up standards (things that are not required by God-such as baptism, the sacraments, confession, etc.) show me where in the bible these commands are deemed neccessary to be saved from Hell and given eternal life in heaven?

Anyways that was a couple points the teacher had. The only way we can truly come to Christ is through faith in Him alone. Romans 10:9 " If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved."

-NOTHING we can do saves us. think about it. Christs death on the cross saved us.

SONG: pull close

red haired boy
you caught my attention
something Im shy to mention

dimple smiled boy
youve got me wondering
if youre worth thinking

outside we havent met
inside,it seems our hands
will meet the air's demands

CHORUS
gravity pulls us close
like you hold me
but something pushes us away
like gravity pulls us close
something,I hope, stays

eh well I guess this doesnt need explaining....I didnt edit it that much, perhaps I will next time. Let me know your thoughts! thanks

realizing

Well I dont think I have so much of a poem tonight as I do a "realization."

Writing my thoughts on this blog has caused me to realize how much I really like writing. Its a way to express myself. Currently I am attending a University as a Vocal Performance major, and I love the same thing about that. I am very right brained when it comes to portraying my feelings. If you look at all my posts,I remember one time I practically wrote a paper-ON MY OWN. (no assignment or anything, I just kept going.) Just saying what I felt in an organized and intelligent manner. Is that a sign?

Last year I took two english classes, poetry and american literature. I absolutely lovedthe poetry class. I really stretched myself to find what I was capable of doing. I always have been extremely good with vocabulary and communication skills when I was a child. I remember in another English class I always aced the tests, and I barely paid attention in class. Maybe this realization has some connection to what my future should look like, what I should pursue.


anyways thats all for now, I may end with a poem
sincerely,
-the lyricist, the musician, the confused one



this box I live in
confines my mind
in its cut out corners
where I sneak for breathe
a short time to rest
from the cookie cut out life

At night I realize (It took time)

vs.1
I dont really love you
I just want the thought of you

I've come to realize
not everything in life
gets better in time

vs.2
I dont really love you
I just want the thought of you

Its easier to see
when we're not blinded
by our own eyes (inbetween)

pre chor.
I love you
I need you
reads
I (dont really) love you
I (never really) need you

CHORUS:
it took time
to read between the lines
it took time
to look into the spaces
it took time
to find our faces

end:
it took lies
to help me realize
it took eyes
it took time
-----------------------------------

I like this whole unwinding at the end of the day, I feel like I get a little closure on life's insanity. Maybe I should be a writer...hah...seeing as this blog has a total of 33 views? I doubt it. But maybe someday..


sweet dreams for now :)
