Some Songs That I've Been Thinking About Lately

Break My Heart

I found my hope in you
And I found strength and comfort too
why is the forgetting so easily done
Remembering hard just remember to run...

And I    wasn't aware that I needed anyone
And I    wasn't aware that I needed you...

Break my heart with the things that break yours
Break my heart and make it purer
Break my heart with the things that break yours
Break my heart

When I am weak then you are strong
When I am helpless you carry me on
Still the forgetting is too easily done
Remembering nothing that I should have learned


All I Can Say

Lord I’m tired – so tired from walking
And Lord I’m so alone
And Lord the dark is creeping in – is creeping up
To swallow me
I think I’ll stop, and rest here awhile

This is all that I can say right now
(I know it’s not much)
This is all that I can give
(That’s my everything)

Didn’t you see me crying?
Didn’t you hear me call your name?
Wasn’t it you I gave my heart to?
I wish you’d remember where you set it down.

I didn’t notice you were standing there
I didn’t know that that was you holding me
I didn’t notice you were crying too
I didn’t know that that was you washing my feet

So David Crowder rocks!

Something that stood out above everything else at the show tonight was something David said in between songs. "If we all lived like we sing, that world would be a better place." I need to live like I sing.

A Meditative Prayer

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going, I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.

Thomas Merton
