i walk in your grace

please oh lord
help me to not break beneath the cord
of woe upon me
set me free

help me to see
that for all eternity
i walk in your grace
even with tears upon my face

to all things there is a time
an end to all rhyme
with another beginning coming
a new fire is soon burning

all the bounty of this place

a great gift was given
long ago, sent from heaven
a savior came
to pronouce peace shall remain

so we gather
to savor
all the bounty of this place
and the lifes of grace

he is here among us
a healer from the cross
friend to the down trodden
and forgiver to the unforgiven

'no matter what i wont leave you'

the edges are keen
and the wound is clean
this broken heart
from another failed start

someday i seek
to hear someone speak
'no matter what i wont leave you'
and have it be really true

too many times been used
too many times fooled
im not perfect its true
but neither are you

i will be free

what is it to be loved?
to not be shoved
aside because the only coin i can spend
is truth without end

i dont see the glory
of living in purgatory
i will be free
and live honorably

i will be loved
if only from above
i have all that i need
and am grateful just to be

lessons hard learned

i am free
dont you see
i can step away
i dont have to go that way

its only life after all
no reason to keep banging against the wall
lessons hard learned
are the best earned

its gonna be okay
even if i didnt win the day
im gonna try, try again
and ne'er put down this pen
