Just because

Just because I sing a love song doesn't make a lover
Just because I pray the sinner's prayer doesn't make me whole

Just because I go to church doesn't make me less a sinner
Just because I give to the poor doesn't transform my heart into gold

Just like if I sang a song by Eminem doesn't make me a grammy nominee
Like if I pray to God doesn't make me holier than thee

Just like if I visited the library doesn't make me a book
so giving to the poor just shows that I am richer than I should

So when I sing a song to God my heart I pray will transform
Broken into pieces is where I belong

When I worship I am saying I am blessed
I am cursed, redeemed and I confess
I need God more than any other being
More than my parents, my friends and even Avril Lavigne

So when I sing a song to you my heart is full of praise
for the joy you have given me and for saving me all my days.

walk

Walk on into the valley
into the shadow of death
walk into the deepest secret
and keep it in thy heart

Walk above the ocean
into to red thundering sky
float like the angels around thee
upon clouds of despair and desperation

walk out of the pain
out of the wombs that causes birth pangs
See the scars that have healed
and the whippings that have made thee stronger

Walk away from the broken glasses
away from the thorns and thumbtacks
Sit down and have your feet washed
with precious Burberry's classic perfume God will wash your feet.

I saw you again

Your smile shows me you care
It brightens up my day
It tells me that you're happy to see me
And glad that I'm just there.

Laugh, smile at me
hug me without arms
touch me without hands
And kiss me without lips

Smile, look at me
with those eyes of admiration
look me in the eye
I look into your soul
and see your gentle breath

I saw you again today
and wish that time would pause for a moment
the reflection of a river so deep
deep with love and emotion
So vast as the ocean
I saw you again another day.
