Home
and shoes in the doorway
"Just in time" for something
Usually we are eating
People are coming
and people are going
There is laughter and singing
Yelling and random noises
Watch your step
Please excuse the mess
The door is unlocked
You are always welcome
This is my home

Be Different
Don’t give in
You are stronger than you think
Don’t give up
Because what they have won’t last
You have purpose
You have worth
Please don’t give up
There’s so much more than what this world has to offer you
The things of this world won’t last
You will never be satisfied
You will always want more
there will never be enough
There is one thing that will satisfy you
It’s the thing you don’t want to hear
Jesus calls for us to be different
To go against the flow
By following Him
We must lose our life to gain it
Through following Him
We have to see the world through different eyes
Jesus Christ, Savior of the world
Through Him
There is hope
There is love
There is forgiveness
There is healing
There is truth

Something was lost
There was a skip in the record
A smudge in the ink
Something didn’t communicate
Something didn’t transfer
The story was mixed up
The message was changed
What was meant to be good
Has turned into a monster
Don’t sell me your religion
I don’t want to buy your Jesus
They cover up the flaws
Only telling you parts of the story
What is the truth?
What does it mean?
For you and for me
Living life
Searching for something
Trying to find answers
Where will answers be found?
What is Christianity all about?

Wounds Go Deep
Self-harm, hate, loneliness
Withdrawing from the world
Hiding who you are…
The pain and hurt you bear
Wanting to be noticed
Wanting to be loved
Trying to get through this
But it seems as if you are falling
Rescuer, save her
Healer, heal the wounds
The wounds that go deep
The scars that will not heal
Break the chains that hold her captive
Prove wrong the lies that she believe
Give her hope
Give her a reason to live
Freedom

2 am phone calls
Why must you
Always go back to the bottle
Why must you always
Try to numb the pain
The bottle isn’t helping
It’s hurting you more
Slurred speech, stupid decisions
You can’t remember what you have done
When will you wake up?
Will you ever see?
You aren’t just hurting yourself
You are hurting me
