To Please My Lord and God


Lies, deceit and backstabbing, delivered cruelly by those I love
Can only be erased and fixed by He who is above
Pain and anguish, loss and failure, misunderstandings and mistakes
Flinging mud, accusations, how much of this can one girl take

At least I know who I am, and I know who he is too
We’ve never been these people that we are accused of being by you
Don’t know what your motive is, but I can surely guess
For sure it is a selfish one, because it hurts like heck

But it’s alright, what’s done is done, and we’ll continue on
Unfortunately from our lives, some are up and gone
But my life remains so full, because of those around me
And because I don’t allow the crazy drama to affect me

Sure it hurts, sure it sucks, yeah, you got your pleasure
But I still have unconditional love, trust and support without measure
And success, it’s always ours, sorry if that irks you
But it comes from up above, because our lives are filled with love

We know who we truly are, despite all the stupidity
The longer you repeat those lies, the worse your lives will be
We are moving on, our hearts in Heaven, our feet on the ground
Learning to forgive, is where Happiness is found

The worst part is the sad, sad loss of our dear families
And second worst is that there seems to be no loyalty
But we’ll continue helping others and working very hard
To fulfill our purpose here and please our Lord and God

Enough



Not enough for them, nowhere near enough

Too much for the others, this is really tough

Searched deep inside for any clues,

Learned just how to feel it through

I must do what I must do

Through Christ, I am simply enough

Truth

My desire for truth is greater than my desire to be right.
-N Wheeler

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
-M Twain

Here's me... here's the truth (gestures around herself). I am all about the truth.
-R Adamson

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.
-Mahatma Gandhi

Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.
-M Twain

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
-M Twain

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.
-W Churchill

In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
-G Orwell

Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it.
-G Martin

A truth that's told with bad intent, beats all the lies you can invent.
-W Blake

Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.
-F Dostoyevsky

Start Now


Start Now, don't wish you could start over
Don’t let your mind to those thoughts wander
Now is it, now is yours,
Stand up, be strong and open the door

Your life can be whatever you choose
Your actions will ultimately bring to you
Consequences of good or strife
Your heart and head will guide your life

Each Spring we see the earth renew
The flowers bloom with morning dew
They don’t remember the Springs before
Or even who they’re blooming for

But we are aware of what has been
Our lives are affected by the works of men
Don’t ask why, don’t ask how
Cuz we are in the here and now

Set goals, have dreams and follow them
Try not to judge or to condemn
Each day will bring a new perspective
Just don’t forget, you’re here to live

Live as if there were no tomorrow
Live as if there were no sorrow
Live for joy and happiness
For all the sadness will soon pass

And streaming through the clouds of white
Golden beams of warm sunlight
Will cover you, will fill your cup
If you will only just look up
 
Start Now

Fun "Carry On"


Well I woke to the sound of silence
And cries were cutting like knives in a fist fight
And I found you with a bottle of wine
Your head in the curtains
And heart like the Fourth of July

You swore and said,
"We are not,
We are not shining stars."
This I know,
I never said we are

Though I've never been through hell like that
I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone.
Carry on.
May your path be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground.
Carry on.

Carry on, carry on

So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night
At a bar off 75.
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die,
All our neighbours and wives.

But I like to think I can cheat it all
To make up for the times I've been cheated on.
And it's nice to know when I was left for dead
I was found and now I don't roam these streets,
I am not the ghost you are to me.

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone.
Carry on.
May your path be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground.
Carry on.

Whoa!
My head is on fire but my legs are fine.
After all they are mine.
Lay your clothes down on the floor,
Close the door, hold the phone,
Show me how no one’s ever gonna stop us tonight.

'Cause here we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we’re miles away
Sun will come
We will find our way home

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone.
Carry on.
May your path be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground.
Carry on.

Oooh.
Oooh.
Oooh.
Oooh.

(No one's ever gonna stop us tonight)
(No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop us tonight)
(No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop us tonight)
