In Your Embrace

I fight back a tear as we dance to our song
 Inside I'm running from what I'm not ready to be
 I tremble silently trying to sort right from wrong
 I hide from the flaws I dont want you to see
 For my strength and guidance I turn to you
 I carry more pain than you know
 I coward back in fear when I know not what to do
 I wear more scars than I want to show
 And so many times you question the look in my eyes
 As I tremble and shake just take my hand
 Together we'll learn to understand
 My pain is more than just where I've been
 I sometimes fear how it will all end
 Our life together is slowly teaching me
 In my darkest moments I close my eyes and see your face
 My troubles are set free
 I find my rightful place in your arms

Where I Least Expected

In winter's center, I found springtime 
Roses and posies growing through snow. 
Your love, I found, warm as May breezes, 
Though the earth is hard and it's twenty below. 

Your kiss, my empty heart, it fills 
Your devotion drives off the chills 
Of pain and misery from the past 
Where icy rain pelted, tenderness melted 
A heart once frozen; now thawed at last. 

In the desert i found cool oasis, 
Midst wasteland deserted, dry and bare. 
In the deepest dark and cold of night, 
I have found warm sunlight there. 

In a barren , empty, ruined place 
I couldn't tell below from above. 
By pain surrounded, where least expected 
I found a sweet and gentle love. 


Lost, somewhere, in a world of lies, 
I found one thing I know is true. 
I found a treasure rare and new. 
What I had sought, i found in you
