You and Me

Trying to find the voice
somewhere inside me.
Tryin' to find my way
to greet another day.

But no matter where I go
you're inside me,
(inside me)

You're every sound I hear
every whisper in the wind.
Take all my fears away
My Angel beside me
(beside me)

But where
where am I?

Tryin' to find my way
misery follows me.
Tryin' to greet a new day
will you come with me?

You're every sound I hear
every whisper in the wind.
Take all my fears away
My Angel beside me
(beside me)

But where,
where am I?

Right inside my heart
we'll never be apart.
Sunrise to sunset
Dusk to dawn
it's just you and me,
(just you and me)

You're everything I see
that I'll never see in me.
Mirrors that touch my hand
soft skin greets me.
I'm lost with no reality
reflections lost within.

Tryin' to find my way
misery follows me.
Trying to greet a new day
will you come with me?
(come with me)

Cause you're everything I see
When I touch your hand
you're just like me
(just like me)

Then I'll understand....
I'll understand

You and me
You and me
Are meant to be.

We're just one
You and me.

Taken By the Wind

Some days you just know
The wind, it doesn’t blow quite right.
I remember the cold wind, twice,
I never knew what it meant the first time.
But it came back strong
Through the house it went
Cold paths left behind.

The final night of his stay
I prayed and prayed.
The night was dark
Stars so bright
Windows open,
I had a child’s wish that night.

Wished upon a star
For me and him to feel again,
No one saw the silent tears of a kid.
The final hour rolled around,
Late that night the word came
He wasn’t to come home again.

The night was dark
Stars so bright
Cold wind cutting my face.
No one could see my heart bursting
Torn in two from that moment since.

Only a fool throws away the chance
At going home where love is,
Where life begins and ends.
Never forget, daddy where you came from
That’s where the night is best,
Where family is
At the end of a long journeys rest.

Missed out on memories made
A father guardian gone,
Everything a daddy’s girl needed
Or ever dreamed of.

Yet life goes on.
I held on for far too long
Both hands clenched tight.
And I wanna let you know,
I’ll forgive you
For the silent tears
Of a broken-hearted kid that night.

Gotta live life,
The wind is warm
The sun is out
Sky’s so bright
I’m finally happy
Without having you always around

Jared's Poem

A blue-black shade of love.
Sent from above.
My hands are tied, two worlds alone,
And this I know.
Your breath's like wine,
And just like clouds, my skin crawls.
It's so divine, the sky it glows with fields of light.
Did you know that I love you?
Come and lay with me.
I love you.
And honesty, I love you.
You make me feel alive,
and I'll love you
Until the end of time.
My hands shake clasped with fear, as you come near
To say goodnight, just like a dove.
A peaceful sign.
To help us by, as you come in,
Let this begin.
Stars fall like dust, our lips will touch,
We speak too much.
Did you know that I love you?
Come and lay with me.
I love you.
And honesty, I love you.
You make me feel alive,
and I'll love you
Until the end of time.
Did you know that I love you?
Come and lay with me.
I love you.
And honesty, I love you.
You make me feel alive,
and I'll love you
Until the end of time.
I've got a lot to say, if you will let me
It's always hard, when you're around me
But here right now, there's interest in your eyes
So hear me out, and hear this the first time

A Poison Tree - William Blake

I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I waterd it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole.
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see,
My foe outstretchd beneath the tree.

We Live in a Difficult World, a Broken One.

"So many people are broken and they're not getting up....this can't be the body you spoke of. This is our song so sing out loud a chorus for us. This is my worship this is my life, to bring hope to this broken world"

-To all those who are stuggling in life in any way shape or form, especially with Ed or with SI, just know it gets better and there is hope. You have a story, a beautiful story filled in that beautiful body and soul and you deserve to be heard. You'll hear through out life that people understand, that they relate, that they simpathize with you; but you may never believe that. Well I am here to tell you today that no I may not understand exactly what you have gone through, that I may not be able to relate in every way or any way, or that I know exactly what you are feeling....but I do know this: life is hard, really hard at times, and sometimes we lose hope or faith or strength or whatever it may be, we seem to lose something....especially a part of ourselves. I want to tell you what other people do not know how to say, that it may not feel okay, it may feel like the end of the world but chances are it's not if you take a second look through my eyes and see that I love you. Yes, I love you. I may never have met you but I love you because YOU are YOU. You are a person, a human being connected to every other human being in this world. Many think of these connections in different ways but we are connected, a harmonic life, we effect each other in some way or another. You may not have words to speak out, for yourself, for others, for those lost or found but others have words for you. Find them. Let them reach out to you because there is always hope. I may not know exactly but I'm connected to you and I've been through a rough hard life and I know you have too. I may not understand but I can hold your hand to listen, tie down to reality, or to help walk the path of life.

This is my worship, this is my life- to bring hope back into this broken world without love.

You were created to love and be loved.  You were meant to live life in relationship with other people, to know and be known. You need to know that your story is important and that you're part of a bigger story.  You need to know that your life matters.
