I hide behind the darkness of my eyes, the brightness that was there once, Is no longer. My smile has become faded to an outstanding straight face. My heart is broken in-two, the depression has reached me and pulled me under. I can’t get up, and take a breath of fresh air until I have defeated the current. My blush is put on so much I look fake, as if I weren’t really here.

Unrequited love,
Nailed upon a tree.
Broken hands,
Holding me.

Unrequited love,
Nailed upon a tree.
Fading lungs,
Giving breath to me.

Unrequited love,
Wrapped up in a sheet.
Arms drawing me,
To dance to a different beat.

Unrequited love,
Sealed into a grave.
Eyes boring into mine,
Daring me to be brave.

The wind is dancing about you
and rain pours through the day
washing it away
to another rainy day

The hope that comes with sunshine
seems lost amidst the clouds
while dampness soaks right through you
security drowning in flood

The rain is falling, pouring
blowing through the field
and everything that's withered
begins to rise and lift it's face
for tomorrow's brighter skies

A heart is cold
A beam is sold
For souls so beautiful
but hearts of stone

Now wounded He cries
for the heart that has died
and pain looks
from His penetrating eyes

He loves with a love
that’s despised and rejected
The priceless is sold;
the cost of our souls

Love is sold like a piece of cloth
For the merchant is broken
and the seller a thief
who steals unworthily

I found an old video I made over a year ago with this song as the background music! So now I can share how it sounds with the music. :)

I wrote this song about five years ago, but it still speaks to me of the beauty of Grace in our everyday lives. I wish I could share the melody with you - but at least the words are here. Take a moment to breathe, and realize anew the Grace that is all around us...

God is Love
God is Grace

Giving us strength in times of haste
Loving us in all our mistakes
Filling us with peace through our repents
Holding us close when love is spent

God is Refuge
God is Good

Taking us in his caring hands
Letting us rest in his careful plans
Everthing that is he knows
Making all things new

God is Peace
God is Surety

Light only Light!
Please only the grace
To walk in the dark

Dark covered in Darkness
It is all dark
I am not sure of the way
Show me!

Fog!
It is all a mist
Give me the torch
To light the fog

Wind!
Give me the strength
To ignore its power
Pushing against your will

Grief!
Grant me the joy
To follow your way
And trust in you
