Lord, Lead Me to Your Love Again ( written in Spring 2005)

I've lost my love
My soul forever seeks
I have traded myself
for a mask in black
A mask that hides myself
A mask I've used
To lose him again

Lord, lead me to your love again
I have left my soul behind in the shadows
Growing darker everyday
My soul is lost
And I need to find it again
I've lost my heart
Into the darkness of the night
Where it cannot be found

Lord, lead me to love again
Come down and shine on me
Fill my soul with your glory
Show me your love for eternity
Tell me it will never end
Tell me my life begins in you

Lord, lead me to your love again
Come down and shine on me
Fill my soul with your glory
So keep me safe and warm
Out of the dark
Until I am in your arms for forever more
Lord, lead me to your Love again
Lord, lead me to your love again

Love

Love is pure but dangerous
If there is no one around to share it with
Keep it close but yet far away
Far way for your heart's sake.

If there is no one to share it with
Your soul will wilt from disuse
Far away for your heart's sake
Safe but not always what is needed.

Your soul will wilt from disuse
It will shrink until it is no more
Safe but not always what is needed
You need to bare yourself, as a sacrifice.

It will shrink until it is no more
You need to be brave and strong
You need to bare yourself
After this you will be strong
And hold it forever in your arms.

Find that pure love in yourself
Kept if it safe
And hold it in your arms
Love is pure and dangerous.

Hope for Many

Though sadness is a common feeling in this world, it is not the largest in quantity. Hope is the key to survival. We must all find our way to this hope and look on the sadness and despair. Though it is a hard road to travel many will walk upon it. I hope to someday rise to the challenge when my heart is called to finally heal a wound that has grown deeper by the years. In the past weeks, seeing devastation at every turn reminded me of things I have hidden for so many years and I pray that I have the hope and strength to get through it.
