Lyrics without Music

I wish I could write beautiful and profound words. Instead, I have to steal them from others. I have been listening to Barlow Girl "Another Journal Entry" CD, and just want to mention some lyrics of their poetry from various songs that I find healing and true.





What is this doubt in me

convincing me to fear the unknown

when all along you've shown

your plans are better than my own

and I know I wont make it

if i do this all alone

Someone said "A broken heart

would sting at first

then make you stronger"

you wonder why this pain remains.

Were hearts made whole just to break?

Creator only you take brokenness

and create it into beauty once again

why, why are you still here with me

didn't you see what i've done?

In my shame i want to run and hide myself

but it's here i see the truth

i don't deserve you



but i need you to love me, an i

i won't keep my heart from you this time

and i'll stop this pretending that i can

somehow deserve what i already have

i need you to love me.



i have wasted so much time

pushing you away from me

i just never saw how you could cherish me

cause you're a God who has all things

and still you want me



Your love makes me forget what i have been

Your love makes me see who I really am

Your love makes me forget what I have been

I've had enough of living life for only me

and reaching just for the things

that keep destroying me

so sick of envying the lives of so many i see

somehow believing that they have what i need

my God's enough for me

this world has nothing I need

in this whole life i've seen

My God's enough for me

I can't explain why i suffer thought i live for you

those who deny you they have it better than i do

cover my eyes now so that my heart can finally see

that in the end only you mean anything

who have i in heaven but you

nothing i desire but you

my heart may fail but not you

you are mine forever

I waited for you today

but you didn't show

i needed you today

so where did you go?

you told me to call

said you'd be there

and though i haven't seen you

are you still there?



i cried out with no reply

and i can't feel you by my side

so I'll hold on to what i know:

you're here and i'm never alone

And though i cannot see you



and I can't explain why

such a deep, deep reassurance

you've placed in my life

we cannot separate

cause you're part of me

and though you're invisible

i'll trust the unseen
