Vampires and music...

Two things I like...films about vampires (Twilight)and uber laid back music (Trespasser William 'Anchor'.



Oh our dance was slow

And you fumbled with my hands

Whisper "time to sleep"

You have dreams awaiting your tired mind

Does your heart get weaker

When you think how far we've to go

Forget all the promises

You're tired and you're drifting and you're low

And if you can't steer

Then it would be safer to drop the anchor

And if you can't feel

It's selfish to use up all of the bandages

I can read your eyes: if this is real then it'll end

I shouldn't look so surprised

This happens over and over again

Does your heart get fiercer

When you think someday i might go

Forget all the promises

You're tired and you're drifting and you're low

And if you can't steer

Then it would be safer to drop the anchor

And if you can't feel

It's selfish to use up all of the bandages

When you're alone

When you're hollow

Then you'll ask me to

Come and fill you come

And feel you

Don't think i will do

Where does my help come from?

Psalm 121

I lift my eyes up to the mountains
Where does my help come from
My help comes from You
Maker of heaven, creator of the earth
I lift my eyes up to the mountains
Where does my help come from
My help comes from You
Maker of heaven, creator of the earth

Oh how I need You Lord
You are my only hope
You’re my only prayer
So I will wait for You
To come and rescue me
Come and give me life

A song for Thursday...

This is the song that is inspiring (ie keeping me going) today...it s called 'This is our God' and it is by Hillsong. The lyrics and the video are below in case you want to watch/read them. The lines that mean a lot to me today are:

- 'By the power of your word, I am restored, I am redeemed, By your spirit i am free'...because it is not me that is strong, it's not me that can restore myself, it is only God.

- 'Freely you gave it all for us, Surrendered your life upon that cross, Great is your love, Poured out for all, This is our God'...because I didn't do anything to deserve it...but it was freely given, for me, for all.


This is our God - By Hillsong

Your grace is enough
More than I need
And your word I will believe
I wait for you
Draw near again
And your spirit make me new
And i will fall at your feet
I will fall at your feet
And i will worship you here

Your presence in me
Jesus light the way
By the power of your word
I am restored
I am redeemed
By your spirit i am free
And i will fall at your feet
I will fall at your feet
And i will worship you here

Freely you gave it all for us
Surrendered your life upon that cross
Great is your love
Poured out for all
This is our God

Lifted on high from death to life
Forever our God is glorified
Sovereign king
Rescued the world
This is our God

And i will fall at your feet
I will fall at your feet
And i will worship you here

And i will fall at your feet
I will fall at your feet
And i will worship you here

Freely you gave it all for us
S urrendered your life upon that cross
Great is your love
Poured out for all
This is our God

Lifted on high from death to life
Forever out God is glorified
Sovereign king
Rescued the world
This is our God
