you know those songs with one verse and one chorus that you always used to learn in sunday school but you forgot them and nobody ever sings them again until hymn loving counselors bring them up for youth group sunday school worship?

well, i just wrote one. whatcha gonna do about it?

In the Path (aka Psalm 142)

In the path where I stand
I raise my voice and my hands
Everyone around me
Doesn’t seem to understand
From the gravel, from sand
Men have hidden traps and
They deny me refuge
Imprison me in this land

    To the right of me, God,
    Look and You will see that
    No one is concerned and
    No one cares for me
    So be the one for me, for
    I’m in desperate need, that
    I might praise Your name, and
    You might set me free

Simple Plan - How Could This Happen to Me

I open my eyes
I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light.
I can’t remember how
I can’t remember why
I'm lying here tonight
And I can’t stand the pain
And I can’t make it go away
No I can’t stand the pain

How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
got nowhere to run
The night goes on as I’m fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Everybody’s screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I’m slipping off the edge
I’m hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again
So I try to hold
On to a time when
Nothing mattered
And I can’t explain
What happened and I can’t erase the things that I’ve done
No I can’t

I've made my mistakes
Got nowhere to run
The night goes on as I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Bebo Norman - I Will Lift My Eyes


God, my God, I cry out
Your beloved needs You now
God, be near, calm my fear
And take my doubt

Your kindness is what pulls me up
Your love is all that draws me in

I will lift my eyes to the Maker
Of the mountains I can’t climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
Of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
Of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You

God, my God, let Mercy sing
Her melody over me
God, right here all I bring
Is all of me

‘Cause You are and You were and You will be forever
The Lover I need to save me
‘Cause You fashioned the earth and You hold it together, God
So hold me now

yeah...it's amazing how secular and Christian music can have so much personality...so much to contribute to the same situation

Words Unspoken

They wonder why I talk to noone
But if I tried to speak I’dfail
‘Cause no one understandswhat’s true to me
And so I’d rather hide behindthe veil

Somewhere screams inside ofme
Is it true that this heartwill stand alone?
And how is anyone tounderstand
When I can’t figure it out onmy own?

I’mdone with searching for sympathy

Yousaid You died on the cross for me

Thisworld offers me no sympathy

Myquestion is, do You?

A shield around the thoughtsI love the most
Equipped with memories of thepast
Somehow a head start on thisrace I made
Keeps finding me completingit last


Best song I've written yet.
edit:

...and it just became my Coffeehouse song.
