I feel uncomfortable
Cause I don’t understand
How you hold me
How you kiss me

This love you give is unfamiliar 
And overwhelmingly grand
Each moment I lose you is heartbreaking
Each moment I choose you is lovemaking
Funnel you whispers
To my ears

You swing me out
And spin me back in
You twirl me free
Never letting go of my hand

Only your arms
Cradle my fall
Like grass or beds of cotton
You hold me while I’m sobbing

You sing over me
An entrancing melody
Gentleness infused
Sustaining my affection for you

You say I make you glad
That losing me would make your heart sad
And the times I forget this 
I stop asking
To show me your love
And I feel empty
But you persist
And your wonder ensues

Synchronizing
My thumping heart
With you score
Enthralling me more and more


Only you know
How to sound my walls
Of glass or brick or chains
What I use to avoid bloodstains

I don’t want to hurt
I don’t want to kill
But without you
Butterflies die on my windshield

Paint a mural for them to glean
This beauty of love which I have seen
And each moment I’ve touched you a wave of thrill
Each moment I’ve followed your peace instilled
Comfort so swelled
By your side

Only you know
The materials
That stand me tall
That lift me up from a crawl

Only you know
How to tune my song
With movings in my soul
And illusive thoughts I won’t let control
All of my life spent with you to the end

You swing me out
And spin me back in
You twirl me free
Never letting go of my hand




Uncomfortable Love

Merry Christmas! A little different take on The Christmas Song for ya. :)

The Christmas Song

I'm all packed up
Got my coat on
I'm heading into the morning dawn

I'm going somewhere 
I don't know where
I hope it's somewhere you will be

I'm free 
Don't you worry
Tell mama I'll be fine
I've got my map
The routes outlined

I'm free
All my worries
Rest on the moons silver line
Peace rises with the tide

Buying flowers stem by stem
Drowning dreams of a home and garden

Should I pull this slip knot tied 
Around my wrist and watch balloons fly away

I'm free 
Don't you worry
Yes mama I'll be fine
I've got my map
The routes outlined

I'm free
All my worries
Rest on the moons silver line
Peace rises with the tide

I've stared blankly into space
Catching glimpses, memories of your face

I'll go where you go
Cause it's enough to follow your tracks through the snow

I'm free 
Don't you worry
Yes mama I'll be fine
I've got my map
The routes outlined

I'm free
All my worries
Rest on the moons silver line
Peace rises with the tide

I'm free 
Don't you worry
Now mama I'll be fine
I've got his map
The routes outlined

I'm free
All my worries
Rest on the moons silver line
Peace rises with the tide

I'm going somewhere 
I don't know where
I hope it's somewhere you will be

Camden's Trek

My cold cold heart has the shivers
Please warm my hands with your breath
There's a pile of twigs, leaves, and feathers
Spark the flint, save me from death

As the fire burns the shackles away
Your love's my gain, your love's my gain

I see my flesh melt in the flame
but Your heart remains, your heart remains

I'm trying to write my own story
Please come and take my pen
Brand these pages with your glory
Send my ink through the furnace den

There's a cap on the end of this tunnel
I'm fighting to see every step
Touch your torch to this barricade rubble
Give me light, make a way to the end

As the fire burns these shackles away
Your love's my gain, your loves my gain

I see my flesh melt in the flame
Your heart remain, your heart remains

I see you now
I feel you now

As the fire burns these shackles away
Your love's my gain, your loves my gain

I see my flesh melt in the flame
Your heart remain, your heart remains

As the fire burns these shackles away
You're standing with me in these flames

You shift my eyes you lift my gaze
You rip these chains so your love remains. 

The Fire Burns

Day 2 of 7in7

Here's a complete song, but it's not finished yet. ;)

I'm waiting on
a love so steady
my heart is racing
I'm waiting

I'm running fast
you pull me back
back to the pasture
to graze near the water

I'm blind I need you
to hold more than my elbow
I need your arms around my waist
to secure my heart in your embrace

I'm afraid
I'll wander off
you'll leave me walking
down an alleyway

This pool is deep
my feet keep sinking
I can't remember
how to tread the water

I'm blind I need you
to hold more than my elbow
I need your arms around my waist
to secure my heart in your embrace

Be still my soul 
it's ok to let go
he's called you his own
you're in the fold

Come open my eyes fully
so I can see your lap beneath me
your arms pushing this tire swing
your lips resting against my cheek

Come back little lamb
my heartbeat rest in your hands
 

Come Back Little Lamb 7in7 Day 2

This sticky web disappears
waiting to prey on all my cares
I can't tell, is this just a fantasy?
did my mind really just capture me?

You keep holding my hand
and I'm struggling to break free again
I can't understand how this could be love
Your nearness doesn't fell like it's good enough

Oh no,

I don't want to miss where you're taking me
These lollipops and chocolates aren't enough anymore, you see
I want more of you, I want all of you
Through the hard and through the sad
I want to stick it out
I want to make it through

Looking up and around
the stars make my heart pound
My heart is finally craving more
So much that I'll follow the path down to the shore

Cause I don't want to miss where you're taking me 
These lollipops and chocolates aren't enough anymore, you see
I want more of you, I want all of you
Through the hard and through the sad
I want to stick it out
I want to make it through

Keep holding my hand
Keep holding my hand
Keep holding my hand when I'm lost
Keep holding my hand when I cross

Holding My Hand 7in7 Day 4

(live recording from the Central Asia Benefit Concert)

Lyrics:
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
There's just something about that name
Master, Savior, Jesus
Like the fragrance after the rain
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Let all heaven and earth proclaim
Kings and kingdoms shall all pass away
But there's something about that name.

There's Something About That Name

To my beautiful mother, who has proven how much the lyrics of this song are true.
