You will be praised

I will praise you in the morning
Before the storms come
I will look to you when I feel alone
And the when darkness comes
To you I will run
For you will be praised
you will be praised
Oh for all of my days
you will be praised
I will never run
There's nowhere to flee
Surround by glory
And perfect peace
All around me
I have no need
For you will be praised
You will be praised
Oh for all my days
You will be praised
In my quiet place I find rest
Knowing you're there for every test
I want nothing more than your best
In every trial
And in all the pain
I will see your face
For you will be praised
You will be praised
Oh for all my days
You will be praised
Nothing can take your love from me
Nothing can steal my peace
Because with you everything else will flee
All my worries and all my strife
Gone because of your light
For you will be praised
You will be praised
Oh for all my days
You will be praised

Presence

i hear the clock ticking
the darkness of night has fallen
though it may be dark outside  
your light still shines bright
i feel your presence 
i feel your warmth
so i ask you Lord tonight
be the light that lights up my life

Quiet night


Surrounded by quiet
hearing not a word
silence fills the room
waiting and listening to you
waiting for your voice
waiting for your warmth
listening for you to come speak to me
Holy Spirit come tonight
fill up my life
fill up my soul
Let me be a light to those untold
untold of your grace
untold of your love
let me lift up my heart to you tonight
so that with my entire life
i might be a light that shines so bright

Hurt

This is not my writing, but this is a song i closely relate to


I hurt myself today 
To see if I still feel 
I focus on the pain 
The only thing that's real 
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting 
Try to kill it all away 
But I remember everything 

[Chorus:]
What have I become 
My sweetest friend 
Everyone I know goes away 
In the end 
And you could have it all 
My empire of dirt 
I will let you down 
I will make you hurt 

I wear this crown of thorns 
Upon my liar's chair 
Full of broken thoughts 
I cannot repair 
Beneath the stains of time 
The feelings disappear 
You are someone else 
I am still right here 

[Chorus:]
What have I become 
My sweetest friend 
Everyone I know goes away 
In the end 
And you could have it all 
My empire of dirt 
I will let you down 
I will make you hurt 

If I could start again 
A million miles away 
I would keep myself 
I would find a way

Raining Tears

Lonely yet broken
oh so beautifully broken am I
my tears come down
like rain from the sky

its a shame you had to leave
you said you must go
but oh how i miss you so

Beautifully broken and weeping inside
i cannot help but cry
tears that fall like rain
slowly drain away the pain

lonely soul

I always manage to screw things up
Why are you still there
You should be long gone
like everyone else
gone far away
longing for a friend
a lover, one whose gentle
one who loves my soul
lonely broken soul
longing for its home
maybe someday it’ll be whole

longing for my one true love

Hiding Away

Everything’s my fault
Or so you say
Have you ever thought of how I feel each day
I’m broken, I’m weak
But you don’t seem to care
I’d give my life for you
But you wouldn’t do the same
I’m so tired of playing this game
I’m so broken down inside
I just want to hide
But do you care? no

You just sit there and watch my despair
