Our Story on Why Stop Now by The Title (Lyrics)

Chorus:
Let’s try thinking like the first time
Back when neither you or I had any idea that
Three years later with a few lines
I was there to write our story, our story
Repeat once

One:
I would take everything I would have said,
Replacing it with what I did
It was wrong of me to ever try thinking I could justify
Anything I did when I had you
I’ve gotta pay attention cause I’ve changed my direction
Based on things that you failed to mention
If I’m here then I’m still a friend
I’ll never stop, let’s give this our best shot I’ll say
Go to Chorus

I would make promises I couldn’t break
Think about it every day if you’d make the same ones
and maybe I’d see things from the other side
Cause it’s been a month since I had you
I’ve gotta pay attention cause I’ve changed my direction
Based on things that you failed to mention
If I’m here then I’m still a friend
I’ll never stop, let’s give this our best shot I’ll say

Bridge (repeats three times):
I’m gonna say what I wanna say
I don’t know what you’re gonna say
But I don’t think that I ever want to feel this way, so

“What a Friend” by Greg Long Lyrics

Standing here it’s cold and rainy
I keep hoping someday maybe,
the Sun will shine.

Be like me, I keep on dreamin’
There must be more to believe in
Somewhere, someone.

Then You stand by me
And I see Your Mercy
I cry and finally surrender

Chorus
What a friend we have in Jesus
Knowing You will never leave us
You are the light inside my soul
I want You to know
I love You so
Darkness will come and will try to hide the truth
But I will say
That I believe in You

When I stop and think of Heaven
All the beauty that I’ll live in
How can it be

I though I tried I know I hurt You
All You’ve been is faithful and true
I’m unworthy

Yes, You died for me.
Now I’m Your’s for
eternity

Repeat Chorus


I know You’re here to guide me
You are always right beside me
Until I see You face to face

Then You stand by me,
And I see Your Mercy
I smile, and thank You forever

Repeat Chorus x2


(ad lib to end)

“Look Up, Not Over”

It’s short…but was more written out of a conversation I had with a friend over this subject; I was able to find some comfort in writing this. Knowing that God doesn’t put us though more than we can bear; and that each of us has our own set of hardships that will later become our testimony of his downright and outright Awesomeness.  Hopefully you’ll find some comfort in this prose too.

When I look at my brother
And look at my sister
It seems their burdens are light
and their problems so few.
Lord, I’ve done everything right!
I’ve been faithful to You.
But I don’t understand it,
Why I’m not blessed too

Look up, not over.
God’s got a different plan for you.
He’s making–you able
To shine his Love though you.
He’s got a mighty calling
That only you can do
Stand strong, stay firm, look up.

Also, my good buddy Wes fixed up the lyrics of my last “song” and was able to make an absolutely amazing hymn from it ^.^ You should totally check it out.

“Here I am”

Just something (maybe a song?) I wrote out quickly, didn’t even bother to really proof it, kinda matching my current mood.

Here….. I am
Here without the strength to go on
With my head in my hands
Trying to see just where things went wrong
Because I know I am
Bruised and beaten
Here without the strength to go on

But there You are
With the world in your hands
Counting my hair as it falls
Because You know what I am
One of Your creation
And you long for me to come home

Here… I am
Reaching out my hands
Crying out for You
Running out to You
Kneeling down to You
…..

Because You know, I am
Wounded and broken
Here without the strength to go on
