I Will March On

I am reminded today that God is faithful. That's what I need to remember. There isn't anything happening in my life that God doesn't know about. He's not up in Heaven wringing his hands and saying "Oh dear, how could this have happened?" He knows my every thought and wish and prayer, and I will trust in Him. I will trust that this will all turn out right in the end. His right, not mine. And I will remember that even if this friendship doesn't end the way I'd like it to (Well, I'd really rather that it didn't end it all, but if it does...) I will remember that it IS right. It is in God's plan for me. He has plans to prosper me, not to harm me. In a few months, a few years, this won't be a big deal. I will keep telling myself that, and I will march on. Good night, world.

Some Lyrics

So these are some lyrics that I've been working on recently. I've kinda been on a role with the whole writing thing the last couple weeks. Haha, kinda proud of myself, to be honest. It's been a while since I could write anything quality. So anyway, these are the songs I've been working on. They don't actually have music yet, just the lyrics. One of these days Sarah and I are gonna get together and collaborate and get them some music, but if you're interested, here they are.

The Rest of my Life
I watched you climb my walls
Getting to know me as you went
Now I'm watching you scramble back over
As fast as you possibly can
I'm not sure exactly what scared you
Now I'm not sure what to do
'Cause

Chorus:
I can't stand to watch you walk away
But I know it's time to move on
I can't sit around waiting on you
It's time to get on with the rest of my life

I don't know what's out there
But I'm excited to find out
It's time to jump back into the water with both feet
We'll see what's out there waiting for me

Repeat Chorus

Tag
Who knows what's just around the next bend?
I pray we can remain friends
But if not, then so be it
'Cause

Repeat Chorus



I Am Yours
I hate looking at myself
'Cause I usually don't like what I see
So it blows me away that You would send Your Son to die for me
My life is hard, but nothing like that
You knew before time that there was no going back
And

Chorus:
Now you call me Yours
I am safe, protected, wanted
I am Yours
You pulled me from the darkness, led me to the light
And I am Yours

I'm selfish, insane, a little insecure
I'm always wishing I was just a little more like her
But I'm fearfully and wonderfully made
And she might still be in the darkness from where I came
'Cause

Repeat Chorus

The light is fading fast
But I know that I will last
'Cause I know I am Yours



There Hardly Ever Is
Change is good, something to be embraced
At least that's what I keep telling myself
Trying to keep on my brave face
I know I've changed, too
I know it isn't only you
But it's hard to see what you've become
Since you won't talk to me

Chorus:
I hate the distance that's come between us
And I wish there was an easy fix
But if you want to know the truth
There hardly ever is

Life throws curve balls at us all the time
And we just find the will to survive
Trust that someday the sun will shine
Even though it's hard to find it now
There is a silver lining, even to this cloud

Repeat Chorus

Tag:
All my problems seem larger than life
Without you here by my side
But I guess it's time to say goodbye

Repeat Chorus
