My soul finds rest in God alone
My Rock and my salvation
A fortress strong against my foes
And I will not be shaken
Though lips may bless and hearts may curse
And lies like arrows pierce me
I'll fix my heart on righteousness
I'll look to Him who hears me

O praise Him, hallelujah
My Delight and my reward
Everlasting, never failing
My Redeemer, my God

Someone i met at WorshipGod 08...

Also my favorite portion of scripture.

This sort of dramatization of scripture i believe, is something we all should not only appreciate, but apply ourselves.

Emotion is a tool.

I’m tired of trying to run

When the world keeps spinning ‘round


I’m tired of trying to fly

When my feet won’t leave the ground


I’m tired of trying to climb

When my heart only pulls me down


I'm letting go, I’m falling free

That way, I'm homeward bound

Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live





Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live





And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall, so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live





Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live




And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live

I've no fear of height or depth
I've no fear of crashing
The single thing I fear the most
Simply feeling nothing

This is my holy hour, This is my world on fire
This is my desperate play, This is where I am made
This is my kingdom come, This is my freedom song
This is my helpless state, This is where I am saved

Let my ruins become the ground you build upon
Let my ruins become the start
Let my ruins become the ground you build it on
From what's left of my broken heart

In futility, I imagine a wall around my tranquil, solitary world.

The comet of your smile streaks through
my atmosphere of apprehension.

I’m left with not a choice but to join the celebration.

I smile too.

God, my God, I cry out
Your beloved needs You now
God, be near calm my fear and take my doubt
Your kindness is what pulls me up
Your love is all that draws me in


I will lift my eyes to the Maker
Of the mountains I can't climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
Of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
Of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You


God, my God, let mercy sing
Her melody over me
And God, right here all I bring is all of me
Your kindness is what pulls me up
Your love is all that draws me in


I will lift my eyes to the Maker
Of the mountains I can't climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
Of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
Of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You


'Cause You are and You were and You will be forever
The Lover I need to save me
'Cause You fashioned the earth and You hold it together, God
So hold me now


God, my God, I cry out
Your beloved needs You now

Through pain do we grow stronger?

Through absence, still more fonder?

Through hate, any wiser?

Through love, any closer?


i hate how much i love...

i don't want to be a soldier
who the captain of some sinking ship
would stow
far below

if you love me
why'd you let me go?

Arise, my soul, arise; shake off thy guilty fears
The bleeding sacrifice in my behalf appears
Before the throne my surety stands
Before the throne my surety stands
My name is written on His hands


i am me.

The mountains are a despairing sight

And the forests join the ballet

The moon, it hardly rises at night

For fear of being seen

Even the willows sway with apprehension

The shade giving no protection

: : :

I won’t be home tonight

It’s going to be a long, long time

I’ll be a stranger

A stranger till the end

I’m a vagabond in this land

this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope

because of Yahweh's great love we are not consumed
for his compassions never fail

they are new every morning
great is your faithfulness

i say to myself, "Yahweh is my portion
therefore I will wait for him."

Yahweh is good to those whose hope is in him
to the one who seeks him

it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of Yahweh




It is not always easy.
In fact, alot of the time it’s strenuous...

It does not always make sense.
In fact, alot of the time it’s confusing...

It is not always safe.
In fact, alot of the time it’s perilous...

It does not always feel good.
In fact, alot of the time it’s painful...

What the heck am I whining about?

Do I have any complaint before

Life is not always what I expect it to be.

So I wait.

...in my short, measly life so far, that...






But no matter.


Jesus is just as much the King of my pain as He is the King of my joy.

Jesus is just as much in control of my chaos as He is in control of my future.


I like David. I agree with him.


read it slowly now... don't rush it.


Psalm 61

1 Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.

2 From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.

4 I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
Selah

5 For you have heard my vows, O God;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 Increase the days of the king's life,
his years for many generations.

7 May he be enthroned in God's presence forever;
appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.

8 Then will I ever sing praise to your name
and fulfill my vows day after day.
