Alone

It’s so hard to walk alone
But You ask me every time
As a stranger in the world
My steps are not in rhyme
My direction takes a different course
Often, all by myself
I live a life of solitude
Yet it is a life of wealth.

Of course, it’s hard to walk alone
But I go at my own pace
And I still enjoy the journey
And I still finish the race
The things of earth have no more ties
Nothing can keep me still
For I am walking towards a goal
Even if Alone is Your Will.

Help My Heart

Help my heart stand strong
When all around me crumbles
Help me know right from wrong
When temptation bids me stumble
Give me the courage to face my fears
To brave the winds and rise above
Grant to me the answers, Lord,
Refill me with Your Love.

Keep from me the things You know
Pull me away from You
Allow only those ones which serve
To draw me closer into
The light of Your illumined face,
The center of Your will,
Hold my heart in Your hands, dear Lord,
And I will love You still.

Heartache

You take my heart
And you teach it to love
You teach me what I
Am capable of.

Then you break it and bruise it,
You cut it to pieces
This sadness I feel
Abandonment; love ceases.

I need my heart, dear God,
Does it have to break?
I need my Spirit, dear Lord,
Must it always ache?

Must I never find
A true love for real?
Must I always be alone?
Will these wounds never heal?

I wanted to love,
Tried to give it a chance
But I struggled on beat
Trying too hard to dance

Now, I spin alone
Out of sync, out of mind
Take my heart, dear God,
Don’t let me fall behind.

Sometimes

Sometimes I miss the silence of my heart’s heart.
My spirit screams, it needs to be alone
Sometimes I have this feeling I was meant for no one else
Sometimes I feel I’ve walked too far from home.
Sometimes the burden of my soul is heavy
It longs to grow wings and take its flight
To return to where it first learned what love was
In order for rebirth, for hope, for light.
Sometimes the darkness is just too foreboding
I try to open my eyes but I can’t see
Lord, can You hear my spirit calling?
If so, please…
Come and carry me.

While I Have This

While I have this chance to live
Let me live it.
While I have this gift of love,
Let me give it.
While I have this moment
Called my own life
Let me burn with passion
Let me live it right.
While I have this treasure
Called simply, time,
Let it not pass
Till tomorrow is mine
Let me wake each day
With a reason to breathe
Let me cherish each moment
And each footprint I leave
May it mark the way
For another soul
To journey on a path
That leads to a goal
And while I have this chance
To be part of the earth,
Help me, dear God,
Live for what Your Love is worth.
