| Psalm 46:1 |
{ God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble } Psalm 46:1
guys,
u don't know what a comfort you've been for me these past weeks... thank you all and i love you... so this is gonna make my next comment sound weird...
i want you guys not to be there for me to lean on... i think i need to rediscover who my life should REALLY lean on... i think that from leaning on you guys, i've forgotten how much comfort GOD brings and HE'S the focus of my life... argh... this just sounds weird.. and i've confused myself but i think you should know what i'm talking about...
h&k&atms,
von

i'll kill the thing that turns me away
amputate the arm that will disobey
withdraw from everything that's hurting me
until you finish your work in me
we're doing coup de foudre in french.. it means love @ first sight... it's all about horoscopes and dating and relationships and heaps of adjectives... i don't like adjectives! we listened to this french pop song by lorie... she looks like nikki webster.. cept older...
Je serai (ta meilleure amie)
Ma meilleure amie
On se connaît depuis quelque temps
Même si on se parlait peu souvent
C’est vrai, tu lis en moi
Comme dans un livre ouvert
Je te sens si fragile le cœur à découvert
J’ai envie qu’on se dise tous nos moindres secrets
Car je resterai, ta meilleure amie
{ refrain }
Je serai là, toujours pour toi
N’importe où quand tu voudras
Je serai, toujours la même un peu bohème
Prête à faire des folies
Je serai, même si la vie nous sépare
Celle qui te redonnera l’espoir
On ne laissera rien au hasard
Car tu sais que je resterai ta meillleure amie
Et si des fois on se chamaille
Pour un garçon ou pour un détail
Tout pour toi, tout pour moi
J’ai bien l’impression qu'on se ressemble
On est bien ensemble
J’ai envie qu ón se parle de tout et de rien
Car je resterai ta meilleure amie
{ au refrain }
let's see if nay can translate this :P
i'll see if i can translate the fruits of the spirits @ the end of the term.. what with all those adjectives i'll be learning...

| mood rings { no. 2 } |
We all know the girls that I am talking about
Well they are time bombs and they are ticking
And the only question’s when they’ll blow up
And they’ll blow up; we know that without a doubt
Cause they’re those girls, yeah you know those girls that let their emotions get the best of them
And I’ve contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Let’s get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we’ll be tipped off to when they’re ticked off
Cause we’ll know just what they’re thinking
She’s so pretty but she doesn’t always act that way
Her mood’s out swinging on the swing set almost everyday
She said to me that she’s so happy it’s depressing
And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring
If its drama you want then look no further
They’re like the real world meets boy meets world meets days of our lives
And it just kills me how they get away with murder
They’ll anger you then bat their eyes; those pretty eyes that watch you sympathize
And I’ve contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Let’s get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we’ll be tipped off to when they’re ticked off
Cause we’ll know just what they’re thinking
She’s so pretty but she doesn’t always act that way
Her mood’s out swinging on the swing set almost everyday
She said to me that she’s so stressed out that it’s soothing
And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring
Cause when it’s black it means watch your back because you’re probably
The last person in the world right now she wants to see
And when its blue it means that you should call her up immediately
And ask her out because she’ll most likely agree
And when its green it simply means that she is really stressed
And when its clear it means she’s completely emotionless (and that’s alright I must confess)
We all know the girls that I am talking about
She liked you Wednesday but now it’s Friday and she has to wash her hair
And it just figures that we’ll never figure them out
First she’s jekyll and then she’s hyde… at least she makes a lovely pair
Mood ring oh mood ring
Oh tell me will you bring
The key to unlock this mystery
Of girls and their emotions
Play it back in slow motion
So I may understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind

| i am understood { no. 10 } |
Sometimes it’s embarrassing to talk to you
To hold a conversation with the only one who sees right through
This version of myself I try to hide behind
I’ll bury my face because my disgrace will leave me terrified
And sometimes I’m so thankful. For your loyalty
Your love regardless of the mistakes I make will spoil me
My confidence is in a sense a gift you’ve given me
And I’m satisfied to realize you’re all I’ll ever need
{ chorus }
You looked into my life and never stopped
And you’re thinking all my thoughts
Are so simple but so beautiful
And you recite my words right back to me
Before I even speak
You let me know, I am understood
And sometimes I spend my time just trying to escape
I work so hard, so desperately, in an attempt to create space
Cause I want distance from the utmost important thing I know
I see your love, turn my back and beg for you to go
You’re the only one who understands
Completely
You’re the only one who knows me yet still loves completely
And sometimes the place I’m at is at a loss for words
If I think of something worthy, I know it’s already yours
And through the times I’ve faded and you’ve outlined me again
You’ve just patiently waited, to bring me back and then
The noise has broken my defence
Let me embrace salvation
Your voice has broken m defence
Let me embrace salvation

| lead me to the cross of jesus |
How can I be free from sin?
Lead me to the cross of Jesus
From the guilt, the power, the pain?
Lead me to the cross of Jesus
There's no other way
No price that I could pay
Simply to the cross I cling
This is all I need
This is all I plead
That his blood was shed for me
How can I know peace within?
Lead me to the cross of Jesus
Sing a song of joy again!
Lead me to the cross of Jesus
Flowing from above
All-forgiving love
From the Father's heart to me!
What a gift of grace
His own righteousness
Clothing me in purity!
How can I live day by day?
Lead me to the cross of Jesus
Following his narrow way?
Lead me to the cross of Jesus
this is for lynn... :D |

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, in your name I will lift up my hands
