Becoming new

This year my resolution was to no longer make useless resolutions, to no longer delight in the undignifying resolutions of divulging in the psychosis of worldly related vanity. This year I resolve to let go of what I have done, as the Linkin Park song states, “let mercy come & wash away, what I have become”. I am praying that we are enabled to let the Lord wash us with a cleansing fire and help us to become what he wants us to be :)

Grace and peace as we bring in the new year, be safe in your travels. God bless!

Nothing Left

Sometimes, when I, Look into the mirror.
I cry, oh God, I wish you were here tonight
And I pray, I say, where are you now?
Oh, I wish I could find out.

In the midst of all this, earthly noise,
I cry out just to hear your, loving voice.
And all I can do, is just to worship you.
Bringing it, all to you, my king.

Everything, this is my offering, its yours.

And When I had nothing to left to lose,
No one else to chose,
Nothing I could do, nothing else,
Only to run straight to you.

You, You looked into my heart and you said,
My dear child, this is where
It has to start?

Longing just to get it right,
Seeking not, only your hand, tonight.
Wanting to, see your face,
To have the, feeling of your grace.

And all I can do, is just to worship you.
Bringing it, all to you, my king.

Everything, this is my offering, its yours.

And When I had nothing to left to lose,
No one else to chose,
Nothing I could do, nothing else,
Only to, keep running, straight to you.

And all I can do, is just to worship you.
Bringing it, all to you, my king.

Everything, this is my offering, is yours. Eternally yours

And when I opened up these tear stained eyes,
I turned to see you standing there,
Forever by my side.

And all I can do, is just to worship you.
Bringing it, all to you, my king.

Everything, this is my offering, is yours. Eternally yours

When I had nothing to left to lose,
No one else to chose,
Nothing I could do, nothing else,
But to run straight to you.

Only to run straight to you?
I?ll keep running straight to you?

All is well, with my soul

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, mount of Thy redeeming love.

Here I raise my Ebenezer; here by Thy great help I’ve come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger, interposed His precious blood.

O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above.

-Robert Robinson, 1758

The wedding dress

If you could love me as a wife
and for my wedding gift, your life
Should that be all I?d ever need
or is there more I?m looking forand should I read between the lines
and look for blessings in disguise
To make me handsome, rich, and wise
Is that really what you want

I am a whore I do confess
But I put you on just like a wedding dress
and I run down the aisle
and I run down the aisle
I?m a prodigal with no way home
but I put you on just like a ring of gold
and I run down the aisle to you

So could you love this bastard child
Though I don?t trust you to provide
With one hand in a pot of gold
and with the other in your side

I am so easily satisfied
by the call of lovers so less wild
That I would take a little cash
Over your very flesh and blood

Because money cannot buy
a husband?s jealous eye
When you have knowingly deceived his wife

~Derek Webb

days gone by……

I was just looking through some old floppy disks recently and found a song that I wrote back in 2002, you might enjoy it… but yet agian, you might not… I cant remember what the cords were because I stole them from another song but here are the lyrics.

Lonely Hours
By Katilyn Kiehn

Verse 1
Cause you?ve turned your back,
Took all of the slack,
Taken it back to you.

Chorus
In your lonely hours,
Christ empowers,
The tears that devour you.

Verse 2
You want to make your mark,
Let loose of the bark,
That holds God back from you.

Verse 3
Now He?s molding you, making you,
To all that you can be,
Cause you?ve gave him back that you can be.

Chorus
In your lonely hours,
Christ empowers,
The tears that devour you.

Verse 4
Now go make that mark,
Cause you?ve let loose of the bark,
That held God back from you.

Chorus 2
In your lonely hours,
Christ empowered,
The tears that once devoured you.
