    She sits on the floor, so ashamed.

    mark down one more for the girl unnamed.

    looks up to heaven Asks God to forgive her

    He holds out His hand starts to whisper

    How I love you so,

    more than you'll ever know

    If you take my hand,

    my child you'll understand

    This life is not yours Surrender

    Stop keeping score, come to your Father

    I sent my love with my only son

    Child you are free there's no need to run.

    She opens her eyes, its grace she sees

    Taking his hand she rises to her feet

    She is the moon, reflection of His light

    Once again, a whisper is heard in the night.

    How I love you so,

    more than you'll ever know

    If you take my hand,

    This life is not yours Surrender

    Her faith becomes stronger and stronger

    She knows that He will never falter

    This life is not ours Surrender

    Stop keeping score, come to the Father

    Now we are free, there's no need to run.

    Feb 19, 2025

    The days are longer than before

    waves crash harder on your shore

    and as you start to wash away

    Your life will never be the same

    you’re caught in the ebb and flow

    but child, don’t you know

    You’ve been set free

    You don’t have to sink deeper in the sea

    When you find yourself at the end of your rope

    Open up your eyes and step into hope

    When fear is the only song to be sung

    And the ocean fills your lungs

    I promise it's not what you think

    I promise I won’t let you sink

    Press deeper into me

    I’ll provide all that you need

    You’ve been set free

    So hold my hand, we’ll walk on the sea

    When you find yourself at the end of your rope

    Open up your eyes and step into hope

    I promise you I won’t let go,

    You’ve been set free

    Inside my arms your bones find rest

    The test of time has tried its best

    This world would see you broken

    into you, I’d see life spoken

    I’ll fill your lungs with breath again

    Let my healing waters wash away your sin

    You’ve been set free

    So hold my hand, we’ll walk on the sea

    When you find yourself at the end of your rope

    Open up your eyes and step into hope

    I promise you I won’t let go,

    You’ve been set free

    Lean on me,

    Open your eyes and step into hope

    You’ve been set free

    Am I surface?

    Is there more than what I see

    This feeling inside

    so hard to describe

    A desire for belonging,

    wanting to fit their design...

    But what about Yours?

    You say I was made

    in the image of you,

    if that's true

    why don't I like

    the reflection in the mirror?

    Open my eyes to you

    Open my heart to truth

    Open my mind to the light at my feet

    let your word live in me

    because I want to be

    the woman you breathed

    some days I feel closer to the goal

    some days I feel there's nowhere to go

    this conflict inside

    I can't make up my mind

    oh I need you

    Somedays I wanna pray and cry out to you

    somedays I wanna run, Lord show me the truth

    buried in shame

    Beg you to forget my name

    But you see me, you'll never leave me

    Open my eyes to you

    Open my heart to truth

    Open my mind to the light at my feet

    let your word live in me

    because I want to be

    the woman you breathed

    You say I am loved

    and I am yours,

    if that's so,

    why do I feel

    Like I’m all alone?

    Open my eyes to you (open my eyes)

    Open my heart to truth (open my heart)

    Open my mind to the light at my feet (Open my mind)

    let your word live in me

    because I want to be

    the woman you breathed

    Open my eyes to you (open my eyes)

    Open my heart to truth (open my heart)

    Open my mind to the light at my feet (Open my mind)

    Open my eyes to you (open my eyes)

    Open my heart to truth (open my heart)

    Open my mind to the light at my feet (Open my mind)

    let your word live in me

    because I want to be

    the woman you breathed

  • Meant to Be

    Feb 20, 2025

    Sinking deep

    It feels like I’m fading away

    And I can’t breathe

    Desperately seeking your face

    Can not hide it

    The worries just building inside

    Can I fight it?

    Is there anyone whom I can confide

    And then you speak

    To me

    And all of my fear falls away

    And you breathe

    In me

    this life you provided

    The path now is lighted

    You will show me who I'm meant to be

    You’re the answer

    To all of the doubt in my mind

    You’re the light

    Piercing the dark where I hide

    And then you speak

    To me

    And all of my fear falls away

    And you breathe

    In me

    this life you provided

    The path now is lighted

    You will show me who I'm meant to be

    With your love I'm surrounded,

    And you keep me grounded

    when I'm drowning it's your air my lungs

    You are the place I can run to

    When all that I’ve been through

    Makes me just want to give up

    Because you speak

    To me

    And all of my fear falls away

    And you breathe

    In me

    this life you provided

    The path now is lighted

    You will show me who I'm meant to be

    And you speak

    To me

    And I watch my fear falls away

    And you breathe

    In me

    Oh, this life you provided

    My path now is lighted

    And I know who I'm meant to be

    Oh, this life you provided

    My path now is lighted

    And I know who I'm meant to be

    introspective, soft female vocals, dreamy, reflecting, emotional bridge, uplifting chorus, life changing, fantastical

    Feb 19, 2025

    Sitting breathlessly, waiting on a line,

    Longest three minutes of my life.

    I sat there staring down at my feet,

    My world was changing beyond belief.

    My mind was racing,

    as I shared the news,

    My heart was aching,

    Until you came into view,

    But one sweet smile changed everything

    Your blue eyes were shining so bright,

    Your tiny fingers grasping mine,

    The night you changed my life,

    Fear crept in as I asked myself

    What if I fail, what if she hates me,

    What if I'm not good enough,

    What if this breaks me

    Your sweet smile changed everything

    Your blue eyes were shining so bright,

    Your tiny fingers grasping mine,

    My precious little one, you changed my life

    I watch you growing, with every day that goes past,

    I'll hold you closely, our love will always last.

    And your smile changes everything

    Your blue eyes shine so bright,

    And as we walk hand in hand

    And your smile changes everything

    Your blue eyes shine so bright,

    And as we walk hand in hand

    Oh I thank God for you, ‘cause you changed my life

    Feb 20, 2025

    Two hearts break inside,

    We're both afraid to speak.

    We’re holding onto pride.

    The secrets that we keep

    Can we just move past

    Let go of all the lies.

    Can we just be real

    So there’s nothing left to hide

    I love you,

    and I'm afraid

    I need you,

    more every day

    But this brokenness inside

    The building of my pride

    won’t let me say

    I love you

    We each have a story

    Scars we can't forget.

    Can’t we say we’re sorry

    So we could start again

    I love you,

    and I'm afraid

    I need you,

    more every day

    But this brokenness inside

    The building of my pride

    won’t let me say

    I love you

    If I blame you, and you blame me

    If we never stop to breathe,

    If you close your eyes, and I close mine

    Will we run out of time

    Because I love you,

    But I'm afraid

    And I need you,

    more every day

    Oh this brokenness inside

    Will it yet subside

    So we can finally say

    I love you

    And though I'm afraid

    I still need you,

    more every day

    Though there’s brokenness inside

    I’m letting go of pride

    Because I love you

    And though I'm afraid

    I still need you,

    more every day

    Yes I love you

    I love you (I love you)

    (Now my heart is falling down, falling down, falling down,

    now my heart is falling down, won't you save me...)

    How many times do I have to try it

    before I get it right?

    How many times do I have to reach out

    before I’m in your sights?

    You tell me that you love me

    So don't you want to treat me well?

    Why do you make me sit here waiting

    putting me through hell.

    So close your mouth and show me you care.

    Silent words are all I want to hear.

    Let your actions be louder than it all

    because baby I'm tired, tired of the fall.

    (Now my heart is falling down, falling down, falling down,

    now my heart is falling down, won't you save me...)

    I'm not your canine companion,

    It's sit girl, now stay.

    Good girl, all day.

    I want to be respected.

    I want to be loved.

    I don't want to be your ragdoll

    trampled in the mud.

    So close your mouth and show me you care.

    Silent words are all I want to hear.

    Let your actions be louder than it all

    because baby I'm tired, tired of the fall.

    (Now my heart is falling down, falling down, falling down,

    now my heart is falling down, won't you save me...)

    One more time

    You say let's try again

    I fall expecting to feel your arms

    instead i'm feeling pain.

    So shut your mouth, you’re acting like you care.

    Silent words are all I want to hear.

    Let actions be louder than it all

    because baby I'm tired, tired of the fall.

    (Now my heart is falling down, falling down, falling down,

    now my heart is falling down, won't you save me...)

    So shut your mouth, I know you don't care.

    Empty words are all I ever hear.

    Your actions spoke louder than it all

    I'm tired baby, And no more will I fall.

    (Now my heart is falling down, falling down, falling down,

    now my heart is falling down, won't you save me...)

    (Now my heart is falling down, falling down, falling down,

    now my heart is falling down, won't you save me...)

    Feb 20, 2025

    So sweetly you spoke to me

    Confessing your love for me

    Sharing the feelings inside

    You were so convincing,

    Faithfulness promising

    Like there was nothing to hide

    The trap you laid for me

    with words only love could weave

    You thought you’d planned it all

    You would conquer me

    A king on high you’d be

    And you’d looked down as I fall

    You liar, beguiler

    You’re a wolf in disguise

    It’s no surprise

    You were out for me

    ‘cause you failed to see

    That I am a queen

    My crown went unseen

    You liar

    You’d brushed the hair from my eyes

    All part of the plan you devised

    Brought out every trick you could use

    You sought my every embrace,

    Wanted to bring me disgrace

    Like all the past lovers you’ve used

    You liar, beguiler

    You’re a wolf in disguise

    It’s no surprise

    You were out for me

    but you failed to see

    That I am a queen

    My crown went unseen

    You liar

    Did you really think that I wouldn’t know

    The cracks in your plan wouldn’t show?

    If you’d look up, you’d see my crown,

    Its not my fault you’re always looking down

    You’re a liar, beguiler

    You are a wolf in disguise

    It’s no surprise

    While you were out for me

    you failed to see

    That I am a queen

    My crown went unseen

    You liar

    You liar (beguiler)

    You liar (beguiler)

    I am a queen,

    My crown went unseen

    You liar.
