songs

I woke up this morning
to find that a bird
had perched
out front of
our door

I opened the shutters
and peeked out my head
in search
of something
more

Mountains rise above the sea
Your love envelops me
trees reach for the sky
what have i to give but my life
i fall into your arms
into your grace

___________________________________



Wind beneath my wings
arrow through my heart
sigh upon my chest
I can't put to rest

that as these fears are rising
and my heart unwinding
while forms rearranging
as these plans are changing
I am yours
I am yours

And into your arms
I come running
with all of my sorrow
and joy (x2)

Chorus again

Wrote these two songs in the last month while whiling my time away. I feel like poetry and song come easier as the years go by. It's like the connection between my heart and head happens more easily once exercised and out comes something I didn't know God put within me. Hope to be able to record a few of these for those of you who are interested ;) But for now, happy fall days!
