If you can
If I was blind
I would reach out with my hands
to touch your face
to know your embrace
If I could not speak, then let my heart sing
Your Praises, Oh Lord
If I could not hear
then let my Spirit be filled with
Words that you speak to me
If I could not stand, then let my knees bow before You
Yet will I praise thee
If I lost it all, if I lose my way
If this world steals my voice and I'm left in the dark
and Silence fills my life
I would praise You all of my days
Help me to be all that you want of me
let me mean all these words that i say
I want to see you in my life
Not just in the lives of others
I want to speak of Your goodness
and not just hear You from afar
I want to feel you with all of my senses
Do you know the fullness of God?
Can you taste of the Lord and know that He is Good
and drink of the fountain that never runs dry.

Fallen
Potrait of a life
so slowly fades away
in all its glorious disarray
paint pastel colours
like the rainbows of glory
am i too late for a sorry
will i remember yesterday
forgetting who am i today
illusions of imperfect reality
delusions of a life without honesty
fallen heroes calling tragedy
sunshine and rain
the beginning and the end
of a new eternity
of ashes and beauty reign
oceans and skies
honor and pride
wage wars for nothing
but truthful lies

Live and Love
A Father I found
One who loves me more
than Life itself
A child You have found
One You sought to the point
of Death itself
What is left in this world?
That means to me more than You
My days You have fashioned
and all my life You wrote
You formed the words that I will say
The thoughts that I will think
You know exactly how I feel
and You know how much I love You
God, You taught me how
To Live, To Live...
... to Die
To myself, Oh God!
Not my will, but Yours be done
For my sake, You died
and for Yours, I will Live

Unknowingly
So clear, evening sky
I'm lost in the beauty of His Glory on high
His lovingkindness, and grace for me
He blessed me with a friend
who will always be
the reason I smile
Unknowingly
I'll cherish this memory
Sleep's silhouette will not steal from me
the certainty
Doubt's shadow will not fall on me
Of this I'm sure
that you will be
All God wants you to be
So clear, morning sky
In awe of the wonder of His glory on high
So deep, His love for me
He blessed me with a friend
who will always be the reason I smile
Unknowingly
Psalm 84
How lovely is Your
Dwelling place, Oh Lord
I faint with longing
to enter Your courts
With my whole being
Body and my Soul
I'll shout with Joy
to the Living God
Even if I have to walk through
the Valley of Weeping
It will become a place
of refreshing joy
and when I finally reach
that place You prepared for me
A single day spent in Your courts
Is better than a thousand elsewhere
I would rather be a keeper of gates
in the House of my God
For the Lord God is my Light
He protects me day and night
No good thing will You ever withhold
from those who do whats right
I am Yours.

Ever Need
My one heart's desire
is to honour You
and all that is within me
will give You praise
All that You require
is brokenness in me
I fall down at Your feet
and worship You
You are the One my soul longs for
Lord I live for You
my heart has heard Your call for me
and this is my answer
Lord You are the One I want
Everything my soul ever needs
and in You alone will I trust
Forever.

I wish I was by the sea... or in some tropical island far away. (well, not too far.) Even though I can't swim much and I can even drown in a lifejacket, I like the sea somehow.
(and that's the only narcissism you'll see from me, Michelle!)
My mind's saturated now from all the studying... at the point when the words just become a blur of ink swirling together. Even though the going is tough and progress is really slow, I know that God is working in this. Page by page I turn, disease by disease I learn. There's 4 weeks left, and it seems like a lot of time but I think my peers and myself will know otherwise. Having to cover every system from head to toe, know anatomical structures of the remotest parts of your body, (I mean like who cares where the piriformis is?) as well as the formation of urine... Sigh. Just venting some frustration I guess. Don't get me wrong though, I'm far from losing Hope. God's been a pillar of strength in all this and through the next 30 days or so, He'll continue to be! Do pray for me and the rest of us medical students!
The two messages by Pastor Kenneth and Pastor Sandra over the weekend were also God-sent, Spirit-lifting messages. Pastor Kenneth talked about being drunk in the Spirit. Pastor Sandra talked about relationships as she always does, but everytime I hear her speak on this, I always learn something new. She reminded me as did someone else to the importance of being yourself. And of waiting and trusting in God. I went to the services with an expectancy that the Word would change my life, and God didn't dissapoint. Looking forward to next weekend!
