When We Fall Apart

You were 43 when you got the news
Life will be changing, nothing we can do
The clock is ticking now
All I can think about
Is knowing I have to move on without you somehow
And I just can't believe
That you're the one whose keeping it together
As you hold my hand and say

It's okay to cry
It's okay to fall apart
You don't have to try
To be strong when you are not
And it may take sometime to make sense of all your thoughts
But don't ever fight your tears
'Cause there is freedom in every drop
Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart is when we fall apart

You ask me to sing
Some songs that I wrote
But I can barely speak
Can barely play a note
All my tears rush in
Falling on my strings
And make the sound of these progressions have a different ring
And I hate to say goodbye
Knowing this will be the last time we're together
As you close your eyes and say

It's okay to cry
It's okay to fall apart
You don't have to try
To be strong when you are not
And it may take sometime to make sense of all your thoughts
But don't ever fight your tears
'Cause there is freedom in every drop
Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart is when we fall apart

And you've got the gift of mercy
Don't ever think it's strange
Not a curse, but it is a blessing to feel other people's pain
And always love without condition
And trust with all your heart
There's healing in the story of your scars

Well, it's been awhile
Since you've been gone
Sometimes I still catch myself trying to call your phone
All the hopes and dreams we used to talk about
They're still alive in me and I just hope I make you proud
Now I'm your legacy
And it's your love still holding me together
And I still hear you say

It's okay to cry
It's okay to fall apart
You don't have to try
To be strong when you are not
And it may take sometime to make sense of all your thoughts
But don't ever fight your tears
'Cause there is freedom in every drop
Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart is when we fall apart

Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart
Is when we fall apart

Save Your Tears

I saw you dancing in a crowded room
You look so happy when I'm not with you
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
A single teardrop falling from your eye

I don't know why I run away
I'll make you cry when I run away

You could've asked me why I broke your heart
You could've told me that you fell apart
But you walked past me like I wasn't there
And just pretended like you didn't care

I don't know why I run away
I'll make you cry when I run away

Take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
Save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day

So, I made you think that I would always stay
I said some things that I should never say
Yeah, I broke your heart like someone did to mine
And now you won't love me for a second time

I don't know why I run away, oh, girl
Said I'll make you cry when I run away

Girl, take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
I realize that I'm much too late
And you deserve someone better
Save your tears for another day (ooh, yeah)
Save your tears for another day (yeah)

I don't know why I run away
I'll make you cry when I run away

Save your tears for another day, ooh, girl (ah)
I said save your tears for another day (ah)

Save your tears for another day (ah)
Save your tears for another day (ah)

The Truth About the Core

We don't consciously know what's in our core,
But it comes out at various times,
All the hurt, all the anger, 

All our hopes and all our dreams.

Only God knows the full truth, 

But sometimes we see glimpses of it.

Sometimes it's hopeful,

And sometimes it's mean.

It does not change the value of anyone,

Or the significance,

But it does affect the person's life,

In so many unspoken ways.

I'm angry at my smartest friend,

I'm angry at The One Who Should Know Me Better,

But really I have to face the One I am truly mad at - 

The One Who Lets Bad Things Happen.

He's also the author of All Things Good,

But one has to face the bad things in this world,

In order to truly live,

In order to know the One Who Made Everything.

Thy Word

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path

When I feel afraid
Think I've lost my way
Still you're there right beside me
And nothing will I fear
As long as you are near
Please be near me to the end

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path

I will not forget
Your love for me and yet
My heart forever is wandering
Jesus be my guide
And hold me to your side
I will love you to the end

Nothing will I fear as long as you are near
Please be near me to the end

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path
And a light unto my path
You're the light unto my path

Hold On To Me

When the best of me is barely breathin'
When I'm not somebody I believe in
Hold on to me

When I miss the light the night has stolen
When I'm slammin' all the doors You've opened
Hold on to me
Hold on to me

Hold on to me when it's too dark to see You
When I am sure I have reached the end
Hold on to me when I forget I need You
When I let go, hold me again

When I don't feel like I'm worth defending
When I'm tired of all my pretending
Hold on to me

When I start to break in desperation
Underneath the weight of expectation
Hold on to me
Hold on to me

Hold on to me when it's too dark to see You (I'll hold on)
When I am sure I have reached the end
Hold on to me when I forget I need You (I'll hold on)
When I let go, hold me again

I could rest here in Your arms forever
'Cause I know nobody loves me better
Hold on to me
Hold on to me

P.S. You held on to me when my mom's cousin - the most LOVING person I know callled - and she didn't even mean to. THANK YOU, Jesus.

You Are Loved

We hide pain in the weirdest places
Broken souls with smiling faces
Fighting for surrender
For now and the after, yeah
Just look around and you'll see that people
Are scared to say how they really feel
Oh, we all need a little honesty

You are loved
If your heart's in a thousand pieces
If you're lost and you're far from reason
Just look up; know you are loved
Just look up; and know you are loved
When it feels like something's missing
If it hurts but you can't find healing
Just look up, know you are loved
Just look up, know you are loved

We're not made to be superheroes
Photoshopped, all size zeroes
A light not expected
But not quite perfected yet
Look up; see the sun is shining
There's hope on a new horizon
Calling you, it's calling

You are loved
If your heart's in a thousand pieces
If you're lost and you're far from reason
Just look up; know you are loved
Just look up; and know you are loved
When it feels like something's missing
If it hurts but you can't find healing
Just look up, know you are loved
Just look up, know you are loved

You, don't have to prove yourself
Don't try to be someone else
You don't have to prove yourself
Don't try to be someone else

You are loved
Just look up; you are loved
Just look up; you are loved
Just look up; you are loved, just look up

You are loved
If your heart's in a thousand pieces
If you're lost and you're far from reason
Just look up; know you are loved
Just look up; and know you are loved
When it feels like something's missing
If it hurts but you can't find healing
Just look up, know you are loved
Just look up, know you are loved

If your heart's in a thousand pieces
If you're lost and you're far from reason
Just look up; know you are loved
Just look up; and know you are loved
If it feels like something's missing
If it hurts but you can't find healing
Just look up, know you are loved
Just look up, know you are loved

Even If

They say sometimes you win some
Sometimes you lose some
I've stood on this stage night after night
Reminding the broken it'll be alright
But right now, oh right now I just can't

And right now, right now I'm losing bad

It's easy to sing
When there's nothing to bring me down
But what will I say
When I'm held to the flame
Like I am right now

I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone

They say it only takes a little faith
To move a mountain
Well good thing
A little faith is all I have, right now
But God, when You choose
To leave mountains unmovable
Oh give me the strength to be able to sing
It is well with my soul

I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, and I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone

You've been faithful, You've been good
All of my days
Jesus, I will cling to You
Come what may
'Cause I know You're able
I know You can

I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone

It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

It's Not By Might

It's not by might, nor by pow'r, but by My Spirit.
It's not by might, nor by pow'r, saith the Lord.

We'd like to think that we can handle problems on our own.
We buckle down, apply the steam, work our hands down to the bone.
But when we've gone around in circles and there's no place left to turn,
The Lord reminds us quietly, "There's a lesson to be learned".

It's not by might, nor by pow'r, but by My Spirit.
It's not by might, nor by pow'r, saith the Lord.

We try and try in our own strength to make things come out right.
We think and plan and organize and try with all our might.
But when we fin'lly reach the bottom, the end of all our rope,
The Lord reminds us once again, "In Me you'll find your hope."

It's not by might, nor by pow'r, but by My Spirit.
It's not by might, nor by pow'r, saith the Lord.

I Don't Know Where You Are in This

I don't know where You are in this,
I don't see Your hand.

All I have are questions,

And unanswered plans.

I thank You for the good vacation,

Even though it was long.

Next time I want more time with each,

On two separate occasions.

I don't know who I am,

I wish I knew what I was about.

All I know are glimpses I've seen,

But the rest is, "I don't know."

This is where I am,

At least that I know.

But that doesn't help me day to day,

Or fulfill the longing within me.

I still pray You have planted a seed,

Please still help me, even in my selfishness.

I don't even understand what I deserve - both bad and good,

But I know that You are fair and compassionate.

I know that You are all powerful,

And I know that You are Good,

Though it is sometimes hard to believe.

This is just being honestly understood.

Who are You?

Why do I even ask?

People make me question everything,

And yet You are my only Hope.

Where are You?

Who am I?

These are questions I ask.

Please help her to be the last idol.
