Love is waiting

A song by Brooke Fraser...:


In the autumn on the ground,
between the traffic and the ordinary sounds
I am thinking signs and seasons while a north wind blows through
I watch as lovers pass me by
Walking stories - whos and hows and whys
Musing lazily on love
Pondering you
I'll give it time, give it space and be still for a spell
When it's time to walk that way we wanna walk it well

I'll be waiting for you baby
I'll be holding back the darkest night
Love is waiting til we're ready, til it's right
Love is waiting

It's my caution not the cold
there's no other hand that i would rather hold
the climate changes, I'm singing for the strangers about you
don't keep time, slow the pace
Honey hold on if you can
the bets are getting surer now that you are mine...

I could write a million songs about the way you say my name
I could live a lifetime with you and then do it all again
and like I can't force the sun to rise or hasten summer's start,
neither should I rush my way into your heart

---

Looking at circumstances around
-
look before you leap
-
wait for God
-
to make everything beautiful in its time...

You are the one I want...

---

I've been staring at the sky tonight
Marvelling and passing time
Wondering what to do with daylight
Until I can make you mine
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

I've been thinking of changing my mind
It never stays the same for long
But of all the things I know for sure
You're the only certain one
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

I've been counting up all my wrongs
One sorry for each star
See I'd apologise my way to you
If the heavens stretched that far
You are the one I want, you are the one I want

[Chorus]
I won't find what I am looking for
If I only see by keeping score
'Cos I know now you are so much more than arithmetic

'Cos if I add, if I subtract
If I give it all, try to take some back
I've forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact
That you are the sum
So you are the one
I want

When the years are showing on my face
And my strongest days are gone
When my heart and flesh depart this place
From a life that sung your song

You'll still be the one I want
You'll still be the one I want
You'll still be the one I want
You'll still be the one I want

River flows in You

another composition I did a long time ago
another logic recording
-
1 week more...

In my place...

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldnt change
I was lost, oh yeah


I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldnt have crossed
I was lost, oh yeah


And yeah
How long must you wait for it?
Yeah
How long must you pay for it?
Yeah
How long must you wait for it?
For it


I was scared, I was scared
Tired and underprepared
But I wait for it

And if you go, if you go
And leave me down here on my own
Then I'll wait for you
Yeah

And yeah
How long must you wait for it?
Yeah
How long must you pay for it?
Yeah
How long must you wait for it?

Singing please, please, please
Come back and sing to me
To me, me


Come on and sing it out, now, now
Come on and sing it out, to me, me
Come back and sing


In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldnt change
And I was lost, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah

yet another Coldplay song...

Reign of Love

Reign of love
I can’t let go
To the sea I offer
This heavy load

Locusts will
Lift me up
I’m just a prisoner
In a Reign of Love

Locusts will
Let us stop
I wish I’d spoken
To the Reign of Love

Reign of Love
By the church, we’re waiting
Reign of love
My knees go praying

How I wish
I’d spoken up
Or we’d be carried
In the Reign of Love

Shadowfeet

Shadowfeet – Brooke Fraser

-

Verse 1:
Walking, stumbling
On these shadow feet
Toward home, a land that I’ve never seen
I am changing
Less and less asleep
Made of different stuff than when I began
-
Prechorus:
And I have sensed it all along
Now fast approaching is the day
-
Chorus:
When the world has fallen out from under me
I’ll be found in You, still standing
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
When time and space are through
I’ll be found in You
-
Verse 2:
There’s distraction
Buzzing in my head
Saying in the shadows it’s easier to stay
But I’ve heard rumours of true reality
Whispers of a well-lit way
-
Bridge:
You make all things new
You make all things new
-
Chorus 2:
When the world has fallen out from under me
I’ll be found in You, still standing
Every fear and accusation under my feet
When time and space are through
I’ll be found in you
When time and space are through
I’ll be found in You
When time and space are through
I’ll be found in You

---

I love this song...  God who makes all things new..

and when everything falls apart... to be found in God alone...

I lost.... =(

and found my skunk  =)

yay

Anywhere is

I walk the maze of moments,
But everywhere I turn to,
Begins a new beginning,
But never finds a finish.
I walk to the horizon,
And there I find another,
It all seems so surprising,
And then I find that I know.

Chorus:
You go there you're gone forever.
I go there I'll lose my way.
If we stay here we're not together.
Anywhere is.

The moon upon the ocean
is swept around in motion.
But without ever knowing
the reason for its flowing.
In motion on the ocean,
the moon still keeps on moving.
The waves still keep on waving.
And I still keep on going.

Chorus

I wonder if the stars sign,
the life that is to be mine.
And would they let their light shine
Enough for me to follow.
I look up to the heavens,
But night has clouded over.
No spark of constellation,
No Vela no Orion.

The shells upon the warm sands
Have taken from their own lands.
The echo of their story,
But all I hear are low sounds,
As pillow words are weaving.
And willow waves are leaving,
But should I be believing
That I am only dreaming.

Chorus

To leave the thread of all time,
And let it make a dark line
In hopes that I can still find
The way back to the moment.
I took the turn and turned to
Begin a new beginning,
Still looking for the answer,
I cannot find the finish.
It's either this or that way,
It's one way or the other.
It should be one direction,
It could be on reflection.
The turn I have just taken,
The turn that I was making.
I might be just beginning,
I might be near the end.

Think I broke a record for most number of posts in a day...

One by One...

Here am I
Yet another goodbye
He says Adios, says Adios,
And do you know why
She won't break down and cry?
- She says Adios, says Adios, Goodbye.

One by one my leaves fall.
One by one my tales are told.

It's no lie
She is yearning to fly.
She says Adios, says Adios,
And now you know why
He's a reason to sigh
- She says Adios, says Adios, Goodbye.
- She says Adios, says Adios, Goodbye.

One by one my leaves fall.
One by one my tales are told.

My, oh my!
She was aiming too high.
He says Adios, says Adios,
And now you know why
There's no moon in her sky
- He says Adios, says Adios, Goodbye.

No Goodbyes
For love brightens their eyes.
Don't say Adios, say Adios,
And do you know why
There's a love that won't die?
- Don't say Adios, say Adios, Goodbye.

- Don't say Adios, say Adios, Goodbye.
- Don't say Adios, say Adios, Goodbye.

Enya is one of my favourite New Age artists...

In You I have Found My Worth

Cause in You I have found my worth oh God
Cause in You I have found my worth

Cause in You I have found my worth oh God
I sing hallelujah
You have bought me with Your great love oh God
And You have given me my worth

Though I stray far away, You'll be there for me
Though You know all my heart, You still love me
I can never be far from Your Great love

the Lord who died for my shame
The Cross is all I have to boast
I'll sing forever of Your Love

Someday

Someday, we will see His face

Someday, we will be in that place

Someday, when all tears are wiped away

That day, Your name I will praise...

-

Someday, there won't be disgrace

Someday,  when fears have left the place

Someday, when Jesus will take us home

That day, Your name I will praise

-

Someday, all will be revealed

Someday, we will finally know

Someday, we'll know that He cares 

That Day, Your name I will praise

-

Someday, every knee will bow

Someday, every tongue confess

Someday, we'll declare that He is Lord

That day , Your name I will praise

-

heck EA1... I'll just bull my way through or something

-

and I still don't know how to use Logic pro to master the tracks properly yet, i dunno if its something to do with the "hyper editor" but nevermind

-

---

devotions today by Mr William Lai was quite insightful... Psalms 131

-

ah well

-

see, and things unseen;

1) did I annoy anyone?

2) Or maybe I'm just being oversensitive.

3) or ... ...

Truth

In Your Truth

The light to my soul

The hope of the world

The greatest of joys

Lord I come

searching for You

searching for peace

Only You give

at your Cross

Once again

ah well

thanks for the encouragement

Shine

....shine like stars in the world...

(Phil 2:15)

Light of the world

(Matthew 5:14-16)

-

Somehow I wonder... how many of us take this command to heart, a call to be different, a call to be different, to be a source of hope and truth in the world of darkness

-

life is too short to be living any less than it should be lived out... the recent event in school which sobered up a lot of people

-

heh reading through the blogs

Light

Verse 1:

There is a light

That shines so bright

A light for all to see

Jesus who came

To lift our shame

And to set us free

A light that brings hope

To a broken world in need

So help us be Your hands and feet

Chorus:

So would you shine your light on us

For its in You we trust

Would you show us Your Glory

So we can tell the world Your Story

Of your Love

Verse 2:

You are the Light

Darkness cannot hide

So help us to walk in You

You made us clean

Took all our sin

and took the darkness away

You're light that brings hope

To a broken world in need

So help us be Your hands and feet
