I forgot how it felt to be with you. There are some people that just seem to be able to look into the depths of your soul. Somehow, no matter where you are, there’s a…connection. It’s more than some supernatural thing…it’s real. It makes me so scared…how can you see me for all I am…all I’m not, and still care? I don’t know how to fix things. I can only tape the pieces together, give them to You, and hope for the best. Maybe this is growing up. Everytime I come close, I run away. It’s just something I do…
Maybe it’s time to spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

Did we give away too much or was it right?
I just wanna go back home and hold you tight
I can’t face another crowd and feel this way
Oh no, oh no
I’m falling into every little trap that I can find
Reading too much into every single sign
I can’t face you with the others all around
Oh no, oh no
I need some time to breathe
I can’t fix what’s wrong
Well the world I see is only two lanes wide
From this midnight van to Georgia that we ride
And the toll booths become markers of the time
Oh no, oh no
We come and go so fast
Looking for what lasts
The Ravi Zacharias event was really interesting. “Recapturing the Wonder” is the title of his new book…It’s about experiencing the awe you once had as a child of…life? I wish I’d taken better notes and stayed more awake. Bahh…7 hours. I need at least that many to function properly.
One of the points he made that really hit me was to do with hypocrisy…
Sacrifice: Forfeiture of something highly valued for the sake of one considered to have a greater value or claim.
Sacrilege: taking and giving God something that means nothing to you.
Give God your best - who you are in public should be the same as the person you are in private. Christians shouldn’t give the impression that they are so “holy” or whatever if in private they just do what everyone else does. Ravi said that many Christian young people are guilty of being no different from non-christians…I think it’s true too.
I don’t want to be two-faced.
“A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?” says the LORD Almighty.
Malachi 1:6
Reverance: A feeling of profound awe and respect and often love; veneration.
“The older you get, the greater the wonder you need….and that wonder can only be satisfied in worship.”
I can only imagine what it will be like
When I walk by your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
When your face is before me
I can only imagine
**Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine
I can only imagine when that day comes
And I find myself standing in the Sun
I can only imagine when all I will do
Is forever, forever worship You
I can only imagine**
