Every New Day - Five Iron Frenzy

When I was young, the smallest trick of light,
Could catch my eye,
Then life was new and every new day,
I thought that I could fly.

I believed in what I hoped for,
And I hoped for things unseen,
I had wings and dreams could soar,
I just don't feel like flying anymore.

When the stars threw down their spears,
Watered Heaven with their tears,
Before words were spoken,
Before eternity.

Dear Father, I need you,
Your strength my heart to mend.
I want to fly higher,
Every new day again.

When I was small, the furthest I could reach,
Was not so high,
Then I thought the world was so much smaller,
Feeling that I could fly.

Through distant deeps and skies,
Behind infinity,
Below the face of Heaven,
He stoops to create me.

Dear Father, I need you,
Your strength my heart to mend.
I want to fly higher,
Every new day again.

Man versus himself.
Man versus machine.
Man versus the world.
Mankind versus me.

The struggles go on,
The wisdom I lack,
The burdens keep pilling up on my back.
So hard to breathe, to take the next step.
The mountain is high, I wait in the depths.
Yearning for grace, and hoping for peace.
Dear God
Increase

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls once again.
Jesus Christ, light of the world burning bright within our hearts forever.
Freedom means love without condition,
without a beginning or an end.
Here's my heart, let it be forever Yours,
Only You can make every new day seem so new

Stepping stones

When I was 14 years old, I found out about a free concert at my high school, and I walked there to meet a friend.  I had never heard of the bands before but I didn't care.  Going to concerts was a coo...

ROFL

As I was relaxing this afternoon, my short haired, blondey cat Charlie was sleeping on one of my arm chairs.  They rock, but the cats are usually fine balancing on them.   Charlie relaxed so...

the sweetest thing...

On our way home from the comedy club, my friend and her husband were holding hands on top of the gearshift.  It was the sweetest thing I've seen in a long time.

Some people hide because their lives depend on it. Others because they don't like being seen. And then there are the special cases. The ones that hide because...because... ...because they just want so...
