Well, since I got such great response to my girl scout poem (which really, you should all pronounce "pome", kind of with an English accent because it's just more fun to say it that way)...I thought maybe I'd occasionally slip in a post with some of my various songs' lyrics and other "pomes".
This first one is the only song I've written that isn't country or R&B...it's one for church, a prayer if you will. I actually wrote this during college as I was driving down the interstate after visiting my sister, Amy. I was upset (not because of anything she did...although I could write a few songs about both my sisters...the good, the bad, and the ugly..ha!) about the way parts of my life were going, and it really came from me breaking down, crying, and asking God what I was doing wrong, why does life have to be so hard, so difficult, how was I going to make the changes I needed to? It may have been the quickest it's ever taken me to write a song. Thankfully I had a pen, paper, and mini-recorder with me. (I need to start carrying that with me again!) And I've actually sang this at my home church in Liberal, as well as at my grandparents church in Coldwater, KS. I wish you could hear it...the melody to this one is probably one of my best. I haven't ever recorded this one, but if I could figure out a way to put some of my songs on here for you all to listen to...I'd think about it. ha
Oh, and for those wondering, yes...I've already copyrighted all these lyrics and songs with the US Copyright office...so it's okay, I'm safe.
LET ME LIVE FOR YOU
I see the cross, and I feel you
I read your word, and I feel you
But you fill me, with a love so deep
That it hurts to let you down
When I pray, you hear me
When I cry, you always hear me
You listen to me, with an open heart
Why don't I always hear you
Chorus:
Lord give me the strength, to follow your way
Lift me up in your humble arms
Help me to walk side by side with you
Lord let me live for you
When I have sinned, you forgave
When I was wrong, you always forgave
Teach me to live, with a forgiving heart like yours
Help me live from what I've learned
Chorus
I see the cross, and I feel you...

You are fabulous! Way to let God use you!! Do you still have your myspace music site?
Nope...I don't still have that page. Got tired of checking both pages.
I love this one. Thanks
good stuff
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Thanks for sharing. Much better than the girl scout thing :).
Amy- I love it too...I need to get it recorded. First I must find my guitar...I can't find it. Although I'd prefer to get a new one anyway!
Jai- not sure why you haven't heard it...wrote it our sophomore year of college!
Friar- Gracias
David- Thanks. But admit it...you liked the Girl Scout cookie one a little bit! ha
Hey great idea. Record yourself singing on Youtube.
I need to invest in a video recorder first! But that could be entertaining!
DANGER WILL ROBINSON! Do NOT give this woman access to post things on youtube!
Have you found a church in Goodland yet?
Amy..you know it would be hysterical!
Clint...the Methodist church. They don't have a Presbyterian church and the others I went to were either too boring or WAY too pentecostal for my conservative church background!
