Contrary

I want to scream but need to be quiet.
I want to cry but need to be happy.
I want to run but need to be still.
What am I doing here?

You want to be quiet but can't stop screaming.
You want to be happy but can't stop crying.
You want to be still but can't stop running.
What are you doing there?

Let's switch lives for just one day.
I'll take your place, and you'll take mine.
You'll feel my joy; I'll feel your pain
To fix this crooked line.

Live Wisely

Worry about what?
I can overcome anything.
Struggles are only signs and guidelines.
I am made with a purpose.
An everlasting purpose.
I fight to fulfill it.
Distractions will occur.
Failure is inevitable.
Regardless, life continues.
Time continues.
They are not in my control.
I have no right to think they are.

Renew

Why can't I feel your love?
Why can't I feel your grace?
Why can't I feel your mercy?
Why can't i see your face?

Why can't I see your justice?
Why can't I see your peace?
Why can't I see your hand
Reach from the west to the east?

I need you in my life.
I need you here with me.
Need you to show me what you want
And what I am to be.

I need you to teach me how to love
And how to really care.
I need you to show me you're with me
All the time and everywhere.

I want to feel your radiance
From my head down to my toes.
I want to see your river of life
Everywhere it flows.

All I see is death
Staring at my face
So raise me up and give me life
And save me from this place.
