Ok so I thought I'd stick some of the songs that I wrote on here...

Everything I Want to Be

If you really love me,
Why would you let this happen to me?
Why would you cause such pain in my life?
Is this some kind of test?
Something for my faith?
Is this supposed to draw me close?
Am I supposed to say…
I love you,
I need you,
Without a care?
Well I do,
I’d be nothing without you.

Chorus
I wanna be the stars in the sky,
The cold winter air tonight,
To fly on the wings of eagles.
I wanna be the clouds passing by,
The rain falling from on high,
And everything I want to be,
Is in you.

Are you trying to teach me a lesson,
For all the things I shouldn’t have done?
I have been trying to change,
Is it not enough anymore?
Why can’t things go back to the way they were,
Where I was so much more happier?
Am I supposed to say…
I love you,
I need you,
Without a care?
Well I do,
I’d be nothing without you.

Chorus (2x)


This one needs a little more work I think...

God’s Song

Why can’t he realize,
Everything I have done?
He can’t see anything,
Why have I tried?

He can’t see something in me.
My heart cries for him to see.
I’ve tried so hard to make him…

Chorus
Realize, realize,
In me. (2x)

Someday he’ll realize,
What is in me.
Though he can’t see anything,
Someday he’ll see.

He can’t see something in me.
My heart cries for him to see.
I’ve tried so hard to make him…

Chorus (4x)



Unsolved Mystery

You are the artist of all nature,
The assurance of my salvation.
By faith I am your child,
Part of some greater plan.

You are the healer of my spirit,
My beautiful, heavenly Father.
I am a sinner, you sent your son for me,
To die for all sin.

Chorus
You are great and wonderful,
You are my comforter,
You are my hope and laughter.
You’re unsolved mystery.

I gave my life to you, Father,
And try to hold on to you.
You’ve taken me on a journey,
But its not done.

Chorus

Holy, might, awesome God,
Ruler of all the earth.
I am you humble servant,
You are my precious friend.

Chorus (2x)

You’re unsolved mystery…


Wrote this one with some friends...

A New Beginning (by Gillian, Kirsten, Tiffany)

I’ve been looking at my past,
Its always been me against You.
I don’t know how long I may last,
And now I turn myself to You.

Chorus
Let Your presence fall like rain,
May Your spirit descend as dew.
Let the morning bring my Saviour,
May Your love restore me in You.

It seems every time I turn from You,
I just can’t seem to stay.
My entire life becomes a nightmare,
And only You can pull me through.

Chorus

My life becomes new everyday,
And only Your love renews.
You can bring me through
When I pray to You.

Chorus (2x)



Lean on You (Alleluia)

Since he’s been gone I’ve never been the same,
Since he’s left this place everything has changed.
All the doors of happiness, close in my face.
I don’t know what to do, but to lean on you.

Chorus
When I lean on you I
I can feel your arms around me.
When I lean on you, Lord,
I can feel you right here.
Alleluia oh oh,
Alleluia oh Lord.
Alleluia oh oh,
Alleluia oh Lord.

He cannot comfort me anymore, but you are still here,
He cannot hold me close to keep me safe and warm.
When I am lost you’re there to lead me home,
When I fall down you’re there to pick me up again.

Chorus

You have come to change my heart forever Lord,
My eyes have been opened to a world I‘ve never seen before.
I see your light shine everywhere, in the people around me,
Help me to show, help me to be more like them.

Chorus (2x)


I just thought of the words for this one there is no music to it yet but it still needs lots of work...

Father’s Hands

Since I was a baby girl
I held my father’s hand in mine.
He told me funny stories
From his childhood just like mine.
When I’d fall down
He’d pick me up,
And carry me home…

Chorus
I love you
And miss you
And all the fun we had…
I’ll always remember
The good times… and the bad.
How could I forget
All the times I had,
Holding my father’s hand.

I remember when we travelled,
Travelled to distant lands.
The times we went together
In that big burgundy truck.
That was the time when I played
With the air-lift chairs
To finally hit my head…

Chorus

There in that small house,
So many good memories made.
There was also the bad times,
The cuts and the bruises made.
What happened to the time
That we thought we had forever?
What happened to our lives?

Chorus (2x)


Well thats all I have, you guys can post your own music on here if you want I'd really like to see what people think, write and sing about these days...

Destruction & Restoration of My Innocence

(read all of Ecclesiastes…)

This is my story...
The story of my destroyed innocence.
The story of my... life?
I don't want it to be my life!
All the hurt and the shame...
The sadness and the blame.
These thoughts never leave me;
Always, they come,
From dawn ‘til dusk.
They're there as I sleep
And when I wake.

What are these thoughts? you ask.
Ones of impurity and disgust,
Both of the fear and distrust
Of myself and others with myself…
Is God trying to teach me something
In all these messed up thoughts?
Why can’t things be rewound
And changed for the better?
Imagine turning back the clock
And reliving moments of wrongs,
Changing them to the right moments.

There is so much death!
“A Time to be Born and a Time to Die.(Ecclesiastes 3:2a)
And so much crying and grieving…
“A Time to Cry and a Time to Laugh.
A Time to Grieve and a Time to Dance.” (Ecclesiastes 3:4)
“A Time to Embrace
And a Time to Turn Away.” (Ecclesiastes 3:5b)
I say, embrace your life,
Live life to the fullest of everyday.
Enjoy your life while you still can,
Make right moments not wrong…

What is it with time?
There’s “a Time to Keep
And a Time to Throw Away.
A Time to Tear and a Time to Mend…
A Time to Love and a Time to Hate.
A Time for War and a Time for Peace.(Ecclesiastes 3:6b-7a,8)
There is also a time to sin
And then a time for repentance.
“‘Everything is Meaningless,’
Says the Teacher, ‘Completely meaningless.’” (Ecclesiastes 12:8)
Fear God and Obey his commands…” (Ecclesiastes 12:13)
