Double minded

 we have strayed so far away
We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing
 the truth's become so hard to see
The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me
Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours
No one knows what we're for only against when we judge the wounded
What if we put down our signs crossed over the lines and loved like You did
I was that lost cause and I was the outcast
But you died for sinners just like me

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless me now with your fierce t...

All sunshine and no rain make a Desert

I read an interesting quote "All sunshine and no rain make a Desert" At first glance really not very interesting but it applied rather deeply to life. There has to be some pain and hard times because these are part of love, marriage and commitment. All sunshine and no rain make a Desert. It is through some of the hard times that people/couples grow closer and character develops.

Broken mended

How many times can one heart break? It was never supposed to be this way Look in the mirror, but you find someone you never thought you'd be Oh, but I can still recognize The one I love in your tear stained eyes I know you might not see him now, so lift your eyes to me When you see broken beyond repair I see healing beyond belief When you see too far gone I see one step away from home When you see nothing but damaged goods I see something good in the making I'm not finished yet When you see wounded, I see mended You see your worst mistake But I see the price I paid There's nothing you could ever do, to lose what grace has won So hold on, it's not the end No, this is where love's work begins I'm making all things new And I will make a miracle of you I see my child, my beloved The new creation you're becoming You see the scars from when you fell But I see the stories they will tell You see worthless, I see priceless You see...
