“Mom, you okay?”

“Yeah. Why wouldn’t I be?”

“I heard you yelling.”

And that, my friends, sums up my shower singing skills.

Only You

This is actually a song but I don’t have any music to it yet so I’ll just post the words for now.

Only You

There are many things that I want
So many people I care about
So many ways life can hurt me
Lord, You know, You know

So many things I still seek
So much I feel I can’t do without
So many fears that won’t leave me
Lord, You know

But when I get alone
The world outside, Your Word in my face
I feel You enter in
Such a secret, sacred place
All lies become undone
My cares come tumbling down
I find out once again
Lord all I need is You
You, You, You
Lord just give me You
You, You, You
This world can break my heart
The sky can have my dreams
Lord just give me You

~

It’s a weary heart left to wait
And a troubled soul who feels all alone
This simple frame bruises swiftly
Oh Lord, You know

But when I search for You
The world outside, Your Word in my face
I feel You enter in
Oh how precious is this place
You hear my hearts desires
The burdens tumble down
I’m strong again to wait
For I’ve been promised You
You, You, You
Lord just give me You
You, You, You
This world can break my heart
The sky can have my dreams
My hopes can drift away
Like petals in the breeze
If I lose all that I have
Or long for what can’t be…
Lord, let it be
As long as I have You
You, You
Lord just give me You
You, You, You

Only You
