i need the way you lift me up.

the Lord is showing me so much of Himself... through other people... and i am so thankful. we should have more hope than ever when we're in a place that looks impossible. as C.S. Lewis once wrote... "a miracle is when God does something that wouldn't happen if He didn't do it." if we were never in those places, we'd never even give Him the chance.


this is all for His glory.


the tears that used to come are nowhere near me now.

i’m pressed but not crushed, and Your voice is calling me out.

the world is beckoning but its skewed perspective is chasing me away into You.


i once would sit and weep… and weep… and weep.

but You’re holding me up, helping me stand. Your love is growing me.

looking at the world through Your eyes, i see Light, and He’s all I’ll ever need.

(c) 2010


when i see you standing there
you know it all becomes so clear
the way you look, the way you touch
i need the way you lift me up
this will never feel complete
until there’s nothing in between
and we have broke down every wall...
