God's Exalsation
"God's Exalsation"
Far above all is our savior enthroned,
Crowned is the lamb who by sinners is owned.
Living forever to list to our call,
God hath exalted him far above all.
When the fierce tempest, uplifting its waves,
Seeks to engulf us, we cry and he saves.
Looking to Jesus, upheld by his hand,
Tread we the billows as safe as on land.
High are the cities that dare our assault,
Strong are the barriers that call us to halt.
March we on fearless, and down they must fall,
Vanquished by faith in him above all.
His is the kingdom from pole unto pole,
Far above all while the ages shall roll.
With him the victors, who followed his call,
Share in his royalty far above all.

GONE
Underneath beds and in the dark.
Lies our love that lost its spark.
Memoirs of me and you
Revived only in my literature.
Our days have long been gone
Pieces of our story fall one by one.
The seasons have passed, the tears have dried.
The pain inside, I cannot hide.
The pitter-patter of rain,
The sweet, sweet pain.
Memoirs of me and you
Revived only in my literature.

"The Only Reason"
"The Only Reason"
Just when I thought things couldn't get any better,
You stepped into my life.
You changed my days to sweet from bitter.
Every little thing starts to change,
Leaves fall out, flowers wither.
My love for you just gets deeper.
You mean the world to me.
I cant get you out of my head,
Your'e always on my mind even as i sleep in my bed.
If I were to list all the things i like about you
it would take me forever to finish, it's true.
these things all come down to one reason;
I could never live without you.

LEAVING
we started as friends
we laugh together, walk together
developed and felt something special
that makes you smile everyday
but one day
you left me behind
and i dont know why
how could you do such things like
leaving me alone
and one day when you came back
why are you avoiding me?
why aren't you talking to me?
why won't u even look at me?
I miss your laugh
I miss your voice
I miss your smile
I totally miss you
but why do I still think of you
even though you make my life miserable?
maybe that's love that keeps you alive in my mind

Alone
Nature
The chirping of the birds
The swinging of the trees
The flowing water, and
The fresh air
The origin of motion
The origin of music
And the origin of everything
The combinations of elements
And the coordination of living things
That will make it as the one

"Friend"
You will be always in my heart
And will never fall apart
You brighten up my day
And you never left me away
When something went wrong
We'll always be strong
You are always there
And tell me that you care
And when we're together or apart,
Our friendship will always be close to my heart
We'll always be friends as we have from the start
