Shaken Up

I can’t be the person
I once was

My life has been shook up
My heart has been broken

I have been called
To take part in something bigger

I can’t ignore the voice
Or the feelings inside me

A passion that is building
A fire inside me

I can’t keep it contained
It has to be set free


"God send me anywhere, only go with me. Lay any burden on me, only sustain me. And sever any tie in my heart except the tie that binds my heart to yours. -David Livingstone

Save you

I can’t hold your hand
Keep you from falling
and watch your every step

I can’t tell you what you can
or can not do
The decisions have to be yours

I can’t protect you
or monitor you every move
you have to live your own life

I can't read your mind
Make you talk
Or even sometimes give you good advice

BUT

I can love you
Encourage you
Be there when you need something

I can hold you when you cry
Listen to you vent
be there during the up’s and downs of life

In the end
What it all comes down to is…
I can’t save you

Stories

No one understands her
She feels so alone
Thinking about suicide

Live

Looking for love
Trying to fit in
She gives herself away

Purity

Alcohol consumes him
She is his target
Tired of the bruises

Safety

Tired of everything
Numb to the pain
Scars remain

Healing

Look in the mirror
Don’t like what you see
Throw up what you eat

Healthy

Dear Church,
This is my generation
These are my friends stories

Listen

Please stop ignoring the pain
It won’t go away
You need to do something about it

Action

Don’t lecture or preach
Listen and love
Be Jesus
