So many months have passed since I saw you in my dreams
But your memory still lingers as a reminder of what I once had
But let slip out of my fingers into the oblivion of wasted opportunities
And unfulfilled dreams.
And I still think about you when I feel like giving up
And it hurts me to think about what we had together
That passed away so quickly and quietly
I wish you would have stayed.
I miss you best friend
I miss the sound of your beautiful voice in the morning
I miss the way you accepted me and all my faults
But always called me to be higher.
You made me a better person
You gave, you didn't just take
I was going to give y
I watch you from a distance, not fully understanding what you want
I see how you respond to those around you, the ways others treat you
And when I think of you it's all so clear
But when I say what I'm thinking it gets lost somewhere in the conversion
Before it can hit your heart...
And you only allow me brief glimpses of your heart
I can't see past your armour the rest of the time
Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to fit a square into a circle
And I'm not so sure I'm wrong about that.
But I'm not gonna give up on you just yet...
And I don't care what the end result is
I don't care what 'we' end up becoming
If anything at all
I j
We all live our own lives feeling completely alone
We all wish we didn't have to feel this way anymore
We all want people to accept us for who we are
Yet we won't take of the masks we wear everyday.
How can we ever get anyone to accept us if we won't remove our masks
Why are we so afraid to show people who we really are
Why do we run to people for acceptance when God has already given t
Why do we continue to cry where no one can see our tears.
So many times I have played this song in my head
So many times I have run this long, long race
Sometimes it seems like I can't go on any further
Sometimes it seems like the world is set against me
I get down pretty rarely
I have a pretty strong system nowadays
And I've seen how much I've grown since birth
But I still have such a long way to go
During those times when I do get down
You help me see the big picture
You help me see how small and insiginificant I am
But you also show me how big I could be if I tried harder
Build a better me
Make me an everchanging creation
Not affected by outside circumstance but only by the power of
How long will you keep running
How long will you reject what you need the most
How long can you keep denying your need
How much longer can you search for it elsewhere
Stop hurting yourself with a pure desire
Stop running after destructive things
Stop chasing a ghost and see reality
Stop where you are and just see God for who He is
Can't you see that you are loved?
Can't you see that God wants to know you?
Can't you see that you're losing yourself again?
Can't you see?
Accept our love
Be free of your pain
Stop running away from what you need the most.

The Life Expectancy of a Human
The Life Expectancy of a Human, usually dead by the age of self-awareness. I speak obviously in a metaphor for a bigger problem underlying that which is in our world. Death by means of drugs, addiction, life, love, loss, heartbreak. There are so many forms of death but the two most common are death of the body and death of the soul. People can survive without their soul but not for much longer before their body dies with it. A soul can be killed in many ways, heartbreak, drugs, addiction, life, love, loss, heartbreak which leads to the eventual death of the body. Death of the body ends with a question what is after death? An athiest would say

Why I Believe the Bible...
~*~Why I Believe the Bible is Historically Reliable~*~
Throughout the ages men have argued and debated over whether or not they believe the Bible is historically reliable. Many have searched for the answer to this question. It is always found that the truth will not be denied. The Bible, just as other historical documents, can be put through several checkpoints of accuracy. It must first be understood that with any historical document, if the accuracy is questioned, the benefit of the doubt must always be given to the document. Another checkpoint is the number of manuscripts found of the particular document. Some historical documents have be

Father my Salvation
Father my Salvation…
My heart is broken open,
His thoughts stick like broken glass,
Shards of ice on innocence…
I'm targeted,
my life is forfeit,
and the sting of death stands close
with a stench of sin in its mouth…
My heart is broken open,
It is broken, bleeding, dieing,
I see my flesh is my desire,
My lust is my pleasure,
My tongue is my insult,
And my sin is my treasure…
I'm targeted,
Forgotten, alone,
Because I choose to be
His hands…
Still there, still bleeding…
For me…
That's almost how long it's been since I've been here. I'm thinking of coming back and putting stuff up again. What's the deal with our rights as artists on DA now? Do we sign over the rights to anything we submit on DA? If someone could give me a summary of our rights here that would be awesome! Anyway, sorry to everyone I've neglected over the last 3 years. Hope everyone is doing well and that you'll still have time for me :)
God bless, and hopefully I'll have some new stuff up here soon.

Good work man, one thing tho, I'm a Christian, and don't approve of swearing, but I have watched movies with swearing in them, yet I don't swear. Jesus was around Bad things all the time, but was not affected by it. I'm not saying visit a porn shop each day to prove that you won't lust or anything, but there is a line. We cannot be away from sin and still reach people.
It's a hard line to draw though. If you are going somewhere where there will be temptation in order to be a witness, then yes it can be the right thing to do. If we are just watching something with swearing and sex for our own enjoyment or entertainment, then I don't see how that honours God. And honouring God should be the motivation for everything we do. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9:22 that he became all things to all men so that by all possible means we might save some. But that doesn't mean 1. Compromising the gospel or 2. Just watching something for entertainment purposes that doesn't honour God. Once again though, it is a matter of balance and the Bible isn't clear on it. So I'm not trying to be legalistic, and I'm actually less legalistic than I was 3 years ago (which is when I wrote what you are replying to ha ha). Anyway, hope you can see my point, lets both honour God and lets focus on what being a disciple of Christ is about, as opposed to what it is not about. Hope that makes sense, and that you're doing well.
