Lyrics, Lamentations & Love Songs*

When I am weak When I am weary When my legs fear to stand You seem to know  Just when I’m falling And reach out a Helping hand It may be the wind Telling me  Which direction to go Or just a ray of sunlight Along the path As I move forward In the deepest Recesses of my mind When I beat myself up You teach me how to be kind (To myself) You protect me from the enemy  As I tempt fate and stand in its wake You remind me that I’m human Open your arms  And say  “It’s okay” “I know you are tempted I’m here when you stray I know the road before you  Seems shaky But I AM THE WAY!” “Trust that It will be okay. I love you Everyday” 01/31/25 clc “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.” Psalm 28:7

To ‘Someone’ ⁃ Still Unknown Someone to pray with,  someone to lay with Someone that sees heaven in her eyes Someone who knows the darkness,  someone who’s been there too  Someone who’s ready for something new. Someone… I wonder who. Someone… Like you? 01/30/25 clc

You see me You see all the pain and sadness You see all the joyful madness You know everything  I’m hiding Search my heart And see when I’m afraid Let your love continue  to show me the way You pick me up for the 37th time  I fall down Without condemning You surround Me with your love Clear my path I’ve made it so, damn rough Like it wasn’t rough enough  You make clear Which way I need To go You point forward Even when I step back You are always where I’m at Even when I try to lead You are there Waiting for me to  Come and lay my burdens down At your feet. Search me Know me Help me, Lord I need  You. 01/30/25 clc “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Sun is rising Stars seem to melt Into the horizon As thoughts dwell… On one moment at a time One step forward Hoping to find Peace. 01/29/25 clc 

I am Rushing wind over the ocean I am Sunlight over the pines I am Birdsong awaking the morning I am  Right before your eyes I am The Mighty Mississippi  I am Heights the mountains try to reach I am The stillness in the valley I am Hope that covers you as you sleep I am I am I am Comfort when you’re shaking When you’re a little lost  out in the cold I am Peace that won’t be shaken You can cling to wherever you go I am I am I am That still soft voice that reminds you You are never truly alone I am Here child I will not falter Come to me, I already know Your loneliness Your fear Let me  Wipe away those tears I am Your father Let me show you That you matter To me I am All you need  Even when you don’t understand I am And I’ll never leave. I am. 01/28/25 clc “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”  Matthew 28:20

Is there room for me? It’s cold and rainy And I’m tired Oh, so tired Is there room by the fire? Please take me in I’m drowning from within Dark clouds seem to Sit on my soul Just want to get warm Trust is often fleeting Can’t say I do completely Wish I did But that’d be a lie I know I still try I love you Yet I wish I wasn’t so hard Inside I know your path But I’m stuck in my heart Wishing you’d open up Maybe it’s me Who doesn’t feel enough… <sigh> This is my heart. 01/27/25 clc Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5–6 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.” John 14:1–2

My soul may weep My heart may leap All the emotions That I keep Will one day see The great I am Sunrise, and there I stand Arise, my whole being Starts to understand You are here And you’re oh, so real… My thoughts may sway Through harder days And when I’m in the midst of troubles Often forget to pray Yet, you are there Always so near And I can always stop And clearly hear Your voice Above all the noise  Steadfast Amazing Sometimes Subtle Always Mighty Resonate in my being You guide my steps You give meaning To my everyday Thank you All I know to say is I love you Lord Late at night I hear the symphony  Crickets and bullfrogs sing Look up towards heaven Reminded again Resonate in my being You guide my steps You give meaning To my everyday Thank you All I know to say is I love you Lord. 01/26/25 clc
