The Start of Us
Where the strong in us Finds the courage to be weak, And in giving up Find you’re gaining everything. Would you gladly lose it all, Only to be found again?

Weakness
We wake up tomorrow Wrestling the thorns and sorrows That held us down today.
But at least, We’re struggling And realise that we’re only human.
Better to struggle & know that we’re alive, Than give up, give in, & become dead inside.
Hindsight Is The Best Foresight
I have planted, Apollos watered; But God gave the increase. So then, neither is he that planteth any thing, Neither he that watereth; But God that giveth the increase. For without Him, We can do nothing.

Easy Day
The only easy day….
Was yesterday.
Oh wells.
Remind Me
The things that I love and hold dear to my heart Are just borrowed; they’re not mine at all. Roll back the curtain of memory now and then. Show me where you brought me from, And where I could have been.
Please have mercy, I often forget. So remind me, remind me dear Lord.
Charity
I might speak with the tongues of men and of angels, I might prophesy and understand all. I might have all faith that mountains could be removed, I might feed the poor and give of my life.
But if I have no charity, If love does not flow from me:
I. Am. Nothing.
Tiring
But it’s so tiring, to feel the pain. And it’s so painful, To feel that it’s impossible to love, again.
These Days
One of these days your heart will stop And play its final beat. One of these days the clocks will stop And time won’t mean a thing.

Reevaluate
Reignite the spark And rediscover communication. Rekindle the fire And revive the spirit, Which once set the stage alive.
The heart and mind knows, But the body utterly weak and wrecked.
The Madness I Make
And the call of my name In the darkness where I hide away. Cries aloud, begs me nearer, Lulling me from the madness I make.
Where the warmth of my woes Keeps me company as they corrode. I’m in time torn asunder, Left to gather myself and repose
In All Honesty
I’m just waiting for the year to finally end (how long more?). I’m pushing for it. Whatever liabilities that are coming my way now, fling them to the corner, and just barely get by with it. I can’t give in 100% anymore. Quite honestly I’m burnt out, weary and discombobulated. I’m giving up. I can’t give much of a shit anymore. I need the year-end break. I need...

I have problems which I don’t share. I have issues which I keep within myself. I have doubts which I don’t clarify. I have burning questions which I don’t ask. I have fears which I can’t conquer. I have grudges which I don’t bear publicly. I have facades which I won’t take away. I have feelings which I suppress too well. I don’t know who I am, who...
Abandoner
If I could look away, And turn this cheek away. If you could change your ways, And walk the other way.
If I could make a change, I would do anything. If you could hold on to, The ones who bled for you. Oh please, let go of this hate, And don’t lose your way. Oh please, open your eyes, And don’t break anymore hearts.

Why have you chosen me, Out of millions Your child to be?
You know all the wrong I have done.
Oh how could you pardon me, Forgive my iniquity?
What Faith Can Do
I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains, Hope that doesn’t ever end, Even when the sky is falling. I’ve seen miracles just happen, Silent prayers get answered, Broken hearts become brand new. That’s what faith can do.
The Briefing
Welcome to the next chapter Where everything is cramped from 3 to 2 But don’t worry we’ll make it full for you And soon you’ll become our tool
Drill this into their pea minds: Our preplanned routines, drills and ‘thrills’ For this cycle will never ever change Even ‘til the end of days
It’s alright if it’s beyond Their natural human capabilities...

WatchIf It’s Not A Hit, Switch - by Derek Shivers
Disconnect
I don’t think I can take this One more day in one day out. My will has faded, But I am holding on here now, why?
I can’t take another day of this. I don’t feel it. I reject this life inferior…
Falling Away
All of the love we threw away, All of the hopes we’ve cherished fade. Forget the reckless things I’ve done, Forget this ship that we have sunk.
Humility
“1 Peter 5:6-7 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, That He may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon Him; For He careth for you.”
Humility. I have not enough.
Search Me
Search me, O God, And know my heart today; Try me, O Savior, Know my thoughts, I pray. See if there be Some wicked way in me; Cleanse me from every sin And set me free.
Illusions
Shame on me, for thinking You were the one I desired. But now my hope erodes on me As you draw me closer to this.
And to think, I bared to watch The others slide down the drain, See them burning and wasting out In attempt to claim what’s at stake.
You used to be everything to me, But now I’m tired of fighting. I’ve loss too far much to turn back now, Oh God please steer me the...

Iridescent
When you were standing in the wake of devastation; When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown. With the cataclysm raining down, Your insides crying, “Save me now”, You were there, impossibly alone.
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation? You build up hope, but failures all you’ve known. Remember all the sadness and frustration, And let it go, let it go.
Turn Your Eyes
O soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you see? There’s a light for a look at the Savior, And life more abundant and free!
Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and grace.
Love Is Not A Fight
Love is not a place To come and go as we please. It’s a house we enter in, Then commit to never leave. So lock the door behind you, Throw away the key. We’ll work it out together; Let it bring us to our knees. Love is a shelter in a raging storm. Love is peace in the middle of a war. And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door. No, love is not a fight; but...
The Ditch
I noticed a change. “Are you okay?” Do you want me to go? Breathing is slowed. “Why are you hurting us?” “Why did you change?” It’s getting harder, I can see it in your face. You robbed me Of my place. You were always A foolish race. “Why are you crying?” You did this to yourself. And now while you’re all dying, I’m just something...
