Something Sacred

I locked me away
And buried the key
In a place that only I knew
Until you came to me
And you shook my world
Now everything is changing

Its my sacred trust
My gift to you
If I open the door and give you the key
I am believing that you will stay

Guard my heart
Protect my soul
'Cause this trust is sacred
Now I'm letting you in
Into the depths of me
Christ alone knows me better than you do

When I search your eyes
I see an honest reflection
Of the man that you are
Honest and real
Gentle and strong
I know I can rest securely in you

Something sacred
This trust that we share
We opened our doors and we hold the keys
Knowing that we both will stay...

............................................................................

Love is more than a fancy or a feeling. It is a promise, a commitment, and is held together by a strong bond of trust. This trust is something sacred, and should be valued. Bits and pieces of my reflections; just fragments, really.

Crazy Good

You spoke the words I've been longing to hear
for so long
Now we're starting down a path
That we've never been down before

Can you feel my excitement?
Can you sense my thoughts?
Can you tell that I am unsure
and nervous and happy all at one time?

// Life is crazy good when you know
When you know you are loved
So much better than a fairy tale
Because everything you're going through is real //

I wanna savor this moment now
And remember this day
How you were shaking
as you tried to find the words to say to me

// Life is crazy good and I know
I know I don't deserve you
I can't believe you chose me
But you did and I'm so glad that this is real //

Surreal - like a dream
And it seems as though I may wake
To find that I was sleeping
But every waking moment I'm reminded

// That life is crazy good and I know
I know we're gonna make it
With Christ guiding our hearts
I can't wait to see how our story unfolds //

Magic Carpet

You pick me up to go for a ride
And tell me its gonna be a surprise
I smile 'cause I know how you do
You never make plans and I don't have a clue
Where we're going

We're heading downtown but you still won't say
And then we pull into a parking garage
Ascending upwards to the topmost floor
You slide in a spot and then open my door.

And now we're here
Yeah this is where we are

// We're sitting pretty on top of the city
Watching as the world goes by
And oh, I wouldn't want to spend today
In any other way
And oh, it just feels so right
Beneath the stars with you tonight //

I don't understand it
I couldn't have planned it
But once again my cares fall to the ground
The sparkling lights below and the stars up above
You've taken me on a magic carpet ride

Now that we're here
Yeah this is where we are

// We're sitting pretty on top of the city
Watching as the world goes by
And oh, I wouldn't want to spend today
In any other way
And oh, it just feels so right
Beneath the stars with you tonight //

On my magic carpet ride
The world seems so small from this new height
I don't want to come back down to the ground
But I know it can't last forever...

Back at home you see me to the door
Now my dreams are filled with fresh memories
And I can't wait to make more

..................................................................................

The beauty in the ordinary. The simple things. This is the magic of ordinary days. When the people in your life can make your day just by spending time with you, then you have relationships that you can treasure. Make lasting memories, and take the time to invest in the lives of those around you. Our life is so fleeting, and the moments that we have with our loved ones should not be taken for granted. Live each day to the hilt.

Tides

Your eyes are the first that I look for
When I waltz into the room
Your smile can light up my day and my world
Yeah you know that its true

// I've never felt this way before
I can't explain or rationalize //

But just like the ocean's tides
I feel you pulling me under the surface
Are you doing it on purpose?
You're making it hard to breathe...

And I don't know what I'm feeling
And I don't know what I want
And I'm dazed and confused
So completely bemused by you.

Trying to sort things out somehow
Wanting you to carry me away...
Please don't ask me what I'm thinking
Because I don't know what I should say

// I've never felt this way before
I can't explain or rationalize //

But just like the ocean's tides
I feel you pulling me under the surface
Are you doing it on purpose?
You're making it hard to breathe...

And I don't know what I'm feeling
And I don't know what I want
And I'm dazed and confused
So completely bemused by you.

I need to know - Would you stay with me
Even in the face of a raging storm
When the waves crash over our heads
Will this last? What are we holding onto?

Just like the ocean's tides
I feel you pulling me under the surface
Are you doing it on purpose?
You're taking a hold in me...
