and i wanna see You move mightily
in the lives of those around me
Lord with every prayer i rise to You
may the answer be a resounding yes

these prayers i raise to You
Lord i hubly ask of You
to move mightily, swiftly and victoriously.
here i will be on bended knees
to raise the deepest cries of my soul
knowing You listen, knowing Your in control

and i wanna see Your presence overwhelm
to see You move and bless beyond the spiritual realm
these prayers i know go somewhere
i praise You for You never forget
You hold on ever tightly, and in You i trust

Is this how it was meant to be?
This wait, this trial for me
It’s a challenge to stay sober
Lord I just can’t go on any longer

The valleys last too long
The shadows grow too cold
I strain just to sing Your song
The pain, it burns me so

How can I go on when I strain to see You?
Its tougher than how I feel
The storm clouds suffocate and cover
How do I find joy when I suffer?

But I will remember what You have done
The blessings and how You carried me
Somehow one day I’ll see the sun
And I know You’re doing so much more than what I can see
For I know not the wonderful plans You have for me

And I will sing,
Even when the storms close in
Though I grow weak and weary
I know Who will carry,
Yes I know Who loves so deeply

So once again I come before You
Emptied like never before
Its so hard to be still
Amidst the tears and sores
But I know You understand
And its in You I find comfort
In the Son of Man,
In He who doesn’t turn away the hurt

Don’t come too close to me
I’m afraid of falling in love with you
Don’t go too far away as well
I want to know everything about you

It’s just the way you captivate
I can’t fall in love now
Not before the answers have been said
Yet I wish I could see you for more tomorrows.

And I just want to spend sometime with you
To come closer than this wide divide feels
If you move so far away, I understand
Perhaps the most unattractive, is a divided man

Don’t be concerned with what anyone says
I think you’re beautiful, in so many ways
More than how words can capture
But I don’t think we’re meant to be together

Don’t come too close to me
Be weary of me
I don’t want to hurt you
I love being around you
I just don’t want to fall in love with you
But I can’t help but like you

the feelings just flow
on a night that's grown cold
the feeelings still flow
we'll never ever know
how things were to go

i sit down here today
having gone through the places we used to go
visiting the past, the undelivered bouquet
how am i to go through these pained hellos?

the emotions still run high
upon the hearts' long drawn sighs
i long for the sparks that use to fly
but i'll never ever know now

i go on my knees tonight
feling the pain in our hearts
if you'd sk me, i'd say im alright
but we both kow, we've fallen apart


*inspired by elissa's notes*

the months and days will go by
this hope i will keep
close to my heart and in my prayers
i dont know how things will turn out
as i wrestle each night with God

it felt like the end was too sudden
like there was much more to go.
im praying im right
that somehow i'll get to hold your hand
and walk by your side again

the years may even swing by
i dont know how long i must wait
the battles i will face
the fights that will scar
that the Lord will fight for me

so here i am, somehow believing
and somehow even if im disappointed.
i know He is still the God
that gives and takes away
and has given such a great gift
one who died so willingly for me.
