Day 1 of 7in7

I used to think you left too soon
As if you’d held your breath in hopes
That someone else would sing the tune
But it was yours to sing and it was a beautiful song
And I felt left here waiting 
For you to finish the thought
And it went …

Glory, Hallelujah 
I’ve seen the other side 
And I wonder if I’ll ever be satisfied

And now I know you left just in time
For me to see the man you were 
The kind of man that I aspire to be
Strive to be…

Glory, Hallelujah 
You’ve seen the other side 
And I wonder if You’ll ever be satisfied

I’ve never been but I swear I’ve seen it before
And if that’s the case, I understand why 
You ran for the door… singing

Glory, Hallelujah. 
I’ve seen the other side 
And now I know that I will be satisfied


Too Soon

Day 3 #7in7
So this was the eternally brutal day, anyway here it is. Short but to the point.. enjoy

Whoever said that love don't cost a thing
Never loved anything but themselves 
Because I fell in love and if there's one thing that i found
I've been payin' for it ever since i fell

I sold every silly thing i owned 
Just to find my way back home
And who'd have known when i finally let it go 
You'd be there to give it all back again.

To: Cupid

Day 4 7in7  

I’ve held the most beautiful thing in the world
And I traded it in for a lousy memory.
I can see colors that no one else has seen
But I just close my eyes 

Why do I insist 
On guarding this fortress I’ve built
When yours is life
And mine holds all the guilt I feel
How do I exist 
Without that pesky leaking drip
Drowning your voice 
Until I’m utterly helpless

You held me and I said let go
You fought me but I said leave me alone
And I ran till I couldn’t see you there
But I turned around cause I got so scared


Utterly Helpless

Day 5 7in7

The color blue just isn't enough
And while the clouds are wonderful
They remind me that there's something between us
And the view from this earth is so dull
Its riddled with obstruction
The greatest of is my own soul

I want to see you break through the sky
when i finally wake up and open my eyes
its been too long

At last its the breaking dawn
Its your face so broad 
Across the sky
Alas its the waking day
And my heart will sing
Hallelujah

New Day

7in7 day 6
This was a co-write with my mates Roddy and Micheal 
Also Zachary Attackery and Gerard helped with the performance

From the ends of the earth, i call to you
As my heart grows faint, lead me to the truth
For you will be my refuge.
I long to dwell, in your presence forever
and i'll make my home, in the shelter of your great love

You are God, and you're sovereign over all
You are Lord, and your love is like a storm
Sweeping over my heart, over my mind

In the blackest of the night, I cry out your name
And you call down the light, to cover my shame
And you come to my rescue.
Truly my soul, finds rest in you
My salvation comes, from your blood that makes all things new

You are God, and you're sovereign over all
You are Lord, and your love is like a storm
Sweeping over my heart, over my mind


Sheltered

7in7 Day 7
This has been amazing, here it is. The finale

I'm at the mercy of my tired mind
I'm at my wits end and struggling for lines.
I've found it harder than ever to sing
But I've never been more alive
Cause it's better to tell the truth
Than to compromise

I've told tales that I've locked up inside
Brought to light what I've hidden in lies
I'm convinced that I can see better
When I abandon my disguise
Cause it's better to tell the truth
Than to compromise

Now I've seen the light
There's no goin back
I've made up my mind
