Listen To Her Cry

How can you not understand?
How much I need you in my life.
If only you could be my friend
And listen to me when I cry.
A girl needs her father’s love
To be willingly; not forced.
When she trembles inside out
She really needs to hear your voice.
Not only setting certain rules.
Or telling her what not to do
But also in a quiet time.
Just telling her she’s really fine.
Don’t talk to her about mistakes.
She won’t forget them anyway.
Just tell her it’ll be okay
And listen to her when she cries.
She really needs her dad tonight
To be at home; to hold her tight.

Adonai

From the harmful storm
in the darkest night,
I run to the shining light.
Then you so gently take me
into your loving arms.
The thunder stops
the sun comes out 
for I can hear you say;
you are my child 
and I'm your God
I'll guide you down my way.
But have not fear
for I am near
to watch your every step.
And know its true
that I love you
even when you make mistakes.
your sacrifice is all it takes
my sweetness in beyond what’s said.
my mercy’s to the sky.
I am the beginning and the end
I am The Adonai.

Give It Time To Heal

We can’t change what has happened, 
And drive those clouds away.
It doesn’t really matter,
Is something we can’t say.
To let go of the painful
And hold on to the good,
And make our problems disappear
But only if we could.
We’ve learned a lot from past mistakes
That leave there painful marks.
We also learned the price it takes
To free our guilty hearts.
There’s still a lot we’d like to do
But  time is flying fast.
So lets not dwell on negatives
But stick to what is real.
And if you still are hurting
Just give it time to heal.

Free At Last!

My life has changed
Which means so have I.
Everything old is gone!
I will never again cry
From hurt and pain inside
And memories of the past.
Christ took them all upon the Cross
And now I’m free at last!
I’m free to laugh and dance
And look up to the sky.
I see no boundaries there
To were I could not fly!
I’m ready to shout and praise
And let all people know
That God has changed my life!
I’m free at last! I’m free to go!

Dead End

I’m at a dead end in my life.
No road ahead, and no way out.
The darkness all around me screams
You’re here to stay!
You can’t get out!
There won’t be day!
They Kill my freedom with my doubt.

My body aches, my heart is broken
I seem so hopeless in the night
I  think about  my life; unspoken.
It rattles constantly in my mind
But wait! There over the horizon
I see dawn’s first breaking light!
There still is hope! And now I know it!
There is another way about!

With all the darkness that surround me
I could not see the shallow way
It’s leading me up to a mountain
The sign ahead says Calvery.
I run as fast as my feet can take me
Its getting harder by the step
I lift my eyes and can’t believe what I see!
Christ on the cross dying there for me!

He had to die so I would be free.
So I wound sit on no dead end.
And this is what I want you to see;
After night, there will be day.
There is a solution to a problem!
Just call to Him, with no delay
He’ll help you get a  breakthrough 
In your own life’s dead end.

I'Ve Changed

Please don’t judge me 
Looking at my past.
I’ve changed so much
But the memories last.

I have fixed mistakes
That caused others pain.
I have turned around
From emotions I’ve gain.

I have had my share 
Of regrets and dismay
And don’t want to hear
What you’ve got to say!
