"All Because Of Jesus"
by Casting Crowns
Giver of every breath I breathe
Author of all eternity
Giver of every perfect thing
To You be the glory
Maker of Heaven and of Earth
No one can comprehend Your worth
King over all the universe
To You be the glory
And I am alive because I'm alive in You
It's all because of Jesus I'm alive
It's all because the blood of Jesus Christ
That covers me and raised this dead man's life
It's all because of Jesus I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
Giver of every breath I breathe
Author of all eternity
Giver of every perfect thing
To You be the glory
Maker of Heaven and of Earth
No one can comprehend Your worth
King over all the universe
To You be the glory
And I am alive because I'm alive in You
It's all because of Jesus I'm alive
It's all because the blood of Jesus Christ
That covers me and raised this dead man's life
It's all because of Jesus
Every sunrise sings Your praise
The universe cries out Your praise
I'm singing freedom all my days
Now that I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

"What This World Needs"
by Casting Crowns
What this world needs is not another one hit wonder with an axe to grind
Another two bit politician peddling lies
Another three ring circus society
What this world needs is not another sign waving super saint that's better than you
Another ear pleasing candy man afraid of the truth
Another prophet in an Armani suit
What this world needs is a Savior who will rescue
A Spirit who will lead
A Father who will love them in their time of need
A Savior who will rescue
A Spirit who will lead
A Father who will love
That's what this world needs
What this world needs is for us to care more about the inside than the outside
Have we become so blind that we can't see
God's gotta change her heart before He changes her shirt
What this world needs is for us to stop hiding behind our relevance
Blending in so well that people can't see the difference
And it's the difference that sets the world free
Jesus is our Savior, that's what this world needs
Father's arms around you, that's what this world needs
That's what this world needs
"I Know You're There"
by Casting Crowns
If all I had was one last breath
I'd spend it just to sing Your praise
Just to say Your name
If all I had was one last prayer
I'd pray it 'cause I know You're always listening
If I could live a thousand lives, bind the hands of time
I would spend every moment by Your side
'cause I, I know You're there, I know You see me
You're the air I breathe
You are the ground beneath me
I know You're there, I know You hear me
I can find You anywhere
If all I had was one more song to sing
I would raise a noise to make the heavens ring
If all I had was one last chance, I'd take it
I would stake it all on You
If I could raise up high and catch a glimpse of every eye
I would make them believe
What I feel inside
If I could live a thousand lives and bind the hands of time
If I could rise up high and catch a glimpse of every eye
I know You're there
I know You're there
I know You're there, You're there
IS IT MARCH YET??

I love this song
Anyway lyrics
by Martina McBride
You can spend your whole life buildin'
Somethin' from nothin'
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway
You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway
[chorus]
God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway
This world has gone crazy and it's hard to beleive
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway
You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway
You can pour your soul out, singin a song u believe in
but tomorow they will forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway!
Yeah I sing, i dream,
I love anyway!

PostSecret
I bought a book Thursday night called PostSecret by Frank Warren. His idea for the book started as a community art project. He handed out 3,000 postcards inviting people to share their secrets anonymously on a postcard and mail them to him. He compiled this book from some of the postcards. They are very artistic and the book just spoke to me. I love art. I love truth. I want to understand and share in people's pain. Sometimes I think that if I share someone's hurt, I can take part of it away from them so they won't hurt anymore. I don't know how I can do that out of a book but some of these postcards are just amazing, heart-wrenching, but beautiful all at the same time.
Excerps:
"I'm 25, and I've never been kissed. It's not that I don't want to...it's just that no one else does."
"When my friends go on diets, I discourage them. This is because I really just want them to be fatter than me."
(On a starbucks coffee wrapper) "I give decaf to customers who are RUDE to me!"
"Honestly, I'm glad your uncle died. He molested me that time in the 7th grade that I spent the night at your house. He told me that I liked it. I hope he likes it in his grave."
"I believe that one day I will like myself."
"I don't know what to say to God anymore"
"I wish my parents could see me for what I am...instead of what I didn't become"
(I CAN REALLY RELATE TO THIS ONE!!)
"I only love one of my children"
"When I see an ugly bride, what I am really seeing is a glimmer of hope for the future. Maybe I will marry someday too."
"When I eat, I feel like a failure."
"The medication is not enough to make me forget what he did to me...if I see him again, I will kill him to save the others."
...very powerful book. I just read the rest of them. These are the ones that spoke to me the most. There are so many people hurting out there. It makes me want to be more nice and friendly to everyone. You never know what people are going through.

Warm - 11/17/07
Frost covers the ground
Cold creeps through the window panes
They say it will be warm again
by Wednesday
But I am warm inside
thinking of the blessings
from above
Family
Friends
Appreciation of who I am from others
Am I finally finding myself
or am I just not allowing her
to try to change me anymore?

You give me breath
BREATHING by Lifehouse
I'm finding my way back to sanity again
though I don't really know what I'm gonna do when I get there
and take a breath and hold on tight
spin around one more time
and gracefully fall back to the arms of grace
cause I am hanging on every word you say and
even if you don't want to speak tonight
that's alright, alright with me
cause I want nothing more than
to sit outside Heaven's door
and listen to you breathing
is where I wanna be yeah
I'm looking past the shadows in my mind into the truth
and I'm trying to identify the voices in my head
God which one's you
let me feel one more time what it
feels like to feel and
break these calluses off of me
one more time
cause I am hanging on every word you say and
even if you don't wanna speak tonight
that's alright, alright with me
cause I want nothing more than
to sit outside your door
and listen to your breathing
is where I wanna be yeah
where I wanna be
I don't want a thing from you
bet you're tired of me
waiting for the scraps to fall off of your table to the ground
cause I just want to be here now
cause I am hanging on every word you say and
even if you don't wanna speak tonight
that's alright, alright with me
cause I want nothing more than
to sit outside Heaven's door
and listen to your breathing
is where I wanna be yeah
cause I am hanging on every word you say and
even if you don't wanna speak tonight
that's alright, alright with me
cause I want nothing more than

QUASIMODO by Lifehouse
you can be right
and I'll be real
honesty won't be a pain that you'll have to feel
cause I don't need your approval
to find my worth
I'm trapped inside of my own mind
afraid to open my eyes cause of what I'd find
and I don't want to live like this anymore
there goes my pain
there goes my chains
did you see them falling
because this feeling
that has no meaning
there goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
there it goes
does it scare you that I can
be something different than you
would it make you feel more comfortable if I wasn't
you can't control me
and you can't take away from me who I am
there goes my pain
there goes my chains
did you see them falling
because this feeling
that has no meaning
there goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
you can't change me
you can't break me
there goes the world
off of my shoulders
there goes the world
off of my back
have you ever felt
like your only comfort was your cage
you're not alone
I've felt the same as you
have you ever felt
like your secrets give you away
you're not alone
I've been there too
cause everyone is looking
and everyone is laughing
but I think everyone feels the same
everybody wants to feel ok
everybody wants to
everybody wants to feel
there goes my pain
there goes my chains
did you see them falling
because this feeling
that has no meaning
there goes the world
off of my shoulders
