Dismantle.Repair.

One last glance in a taxi cab
Images scar my mind
Four weeks felt like years
Since your full attention was all mine
The night was young and so were we
Talked about life, God, death, and your family
Didn't want any promises,
Just my undivided honesty

and you said
Oh, things are going to change now for the better
Oh, things are going to change
Oh, they're going to change

I am the patron saint of lost causes
A fraction of who I once believed {change}
It's only a matter of time
Opinions I would try and rewrite
If life had background music playing your song
I have got to be honest, I tried to escape you
But the orchestra plays on

and they sang
Oh, things are going to change now for the better
And oh, things are going to change

Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
Dismantle me down {repair}
You dismantle me
You dismantle me

Give me time to prove
Prove I want the rest of yours {prelude}
Call this a prelude to a lifetime of you
It's not that I hang on every word
I hang myself on what you repeat
It's not that I keep hanging on
I'm never letting go

Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
Dismantle me down {repair}
You dismantle me
You dismantle me

Save me from myself
Save me from myself
{Help me} Save me from myself
Save me from myself

Oh, things are going to change now for the better
And oh, things are going to change

Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
Dismantle me down {repair}
You dismantle me
You dismantle me

Consuming Fire (Stir it up in our hearts Lord, a passion for your name)

There must be more than this,
O breath of God come breathe within,
There must be more than this,
Spirit of God we wait for You.

Fill us anew we pray,
Fill us anew we pray.

Consuming fire fan into flame,
A passion for Your Name,
Spirit of God fall in this place,
Lord have Your way,
Lord have Your way with us,

Come like a rushing wind,
Clothe us with power from on high,
Now set the captives free,
Leave us abandoned to Your praise.

Lord let Your glory fall,
Lord let Your glory fall.

Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
A passion for Your Name.

I hope to lose myself for good, I hope to find it in the end; in You

So I decided to blog, since I haven't done that in awhile.
I've wanted to, really.. I just haven't really gotten around to it... other things get in the way, and things take a back seat to whatever your top priority is.
But isn't that how it is with everything? With friends, school, family or God?
I can think of dozens of friends who put their friends on a back burner when they get into a new relationship... or ignore school because of parties and the popularity race. Then there's the kids who put everything before their family because they feel that they'll always be there. I'm not playing the guilt game here, I'm just as guilty of that as the next person; trust me, before my mom died, I would often blow her off because it was Veronica's birthday and EVERYONE was going to be there and if I didn't go the entire universe would IMPLODE on itself.
The only difference is, with my mom I kind of did that when she truly needed it. However, I know I have forgiveness and I know that my mom never held that against me, even if I do sometimes.
What about putting other things before God? Now I KNOW everyone I've ever met in my walk with God could be guilty of that... we're "only human" right? We seem to be satisfied with knowing that God will always be there for us. I mean, isn't that what we learned in Sunday School and every week at church? God will always forgive us and he will always be there for us if you just ask him. I know that it sounds like a loophole, "I can screw up as much as I want, I can do what I want, say what I want, live the way I desire, and he'll always be there for me... waiting." Now, that may be true... but the way I see it is, if you truly accept God as your Savior, if you truly love him and are grateful for everything he gives you... wouldn't you WANT to make him happy, make him proud of you, make him scream with joy
"Look! That's my Son, that's my daughter! Aren't they wonderful?"
Yeah, we may only be human... but I think maybe we should strive to be more.

The Everglow

Heres a night
and it shines
And it calls us on and on
So be here by my side
And watch the stars;
They're ours
Make a wish, or just take charge
The moment comes
get lost and go far

I think that we've got what it takes
To get this heart to start beating again
So take it all the way
Whoa, whoa, now our hearts are on the everglow
So just let go and fall into it

We begin
Breathe in
Heres our chance to go for something
So this is where we win
And take the game
No blame
There's a neon light, inside it shines
And tearing down the walls in our way

I think that we've got what it takes
To get this heart to start beating again
So take it all the way
Whoa, whoa now our hearts are on the everglow
Deep inside, we both know it
Every thing's riding on this moment.
Whoa, whoa and our hearts are on the everglow
So just let go, and fall into it

Lets go inside, and look deep into the night
The light is bright enough to send
The weakest ones to go for the ride on
Oh, no, you cannot fade away

Whoa, whoa, and our hearts are on the everglow
Whoa, whoa, so just let go and fall into it
Whoa, whoa, and our hearts are on the everglow
Deep inside we both know it
Everything's riding on this moment

Whoa, whoa, and our hearts are on the everglow
Every action makes a reaction
We'll figure it out, and make it happen
Whoa, whoa, and our hearts are on the everglow
So just let go and fall into it
