Beyond What You've Mastered

"Unless you try to do something beyond what you have mastered, you will never grow." -- C.R. Lawton





Why are you taking my picture?

"Many a friendship -- long, loyal, and self-sacrificing -- rested at first upon no thicker a foundation than a kind word." -- Frederick W. Faber





All In {Letting Go} by Toby Mac


Untitled Poem
by Kool Christian Girl

I'm falling in love with you
All over again
Returning to Your throne of grace
Coming back to Your love,
Loss at words to say
How You always receive me
Even when I've been running,
Your grace astounds me
Your love overtakes me,
Erases the pain I feel
Although I still hurt
And some days the tears won't stop falling
I find comfort in the shadow of your wings.

Feels like I'm falling in love again,
Returning to Your throne of grace
Coming back to Your love
I'm falling in love again...

It's You
And I'm falling in love,
It's love
And You're here,
Feels like I'm falling in love again...

I'm trusting You
With all my heart,
You're everything
And I'm falling in love again...

I'm falling into Your arms again,
The arms that always receive me,
You welcome me home
And I'm falling in love again,
Committing to You again...


It's You
And I'm falling in love,
It's love
And You're here,
I'm falling in love again...

I'm looking into Your eyes again,
The eyes that show love
You look into mine,
Whisper you've always loved me
Never let me go,
I'm returning to You again...

No one else I seek
I've turned to other things
But You're the only One,
Who truly satisfies my soul
I'm falling in love again...

Feels like I'm falling in love again,
Though you've never left me
Your love overtakes me
Time and time again,
Feels like I'm falling in love again,
Returning to the same You
That I first fell in love with
When You first called my name,
Feels like I'm falling in love again...

It's You
And I'm falling in love,
It's love
And You're here to stay
Feels like I'm falling in love again...

I'm falling in love with You again,
Thank You Jesus
I'm falling in love again,
Falling in love with my Savior who first loved me
I'm falling in love again,
Thank You Jesus
I'm falling in love again...

There is a way

There is a way -- NewWorld Son

You say love is just a word, just four letters in a row
Just a thing that people say, or they never tell you so
And you use every excuse, to let nobody in
Now this cloud you bring around, has become your only friend

And everybody saying that it's going to go away, but it don't go
And everybody's telling you one day it's going to change, but you don't know
If it's really going to end

But there is a way, there is a spark
There is a hope that you can hold on to
There is a lifeline come to the rescue
Just like a hand that's waiting for you
And if you believe in this I promise that you won't be alone
There is a way, the truth and the life, and the way

But if love became a man, if the word had flesh and bone
Would you recognize His face, if He came to bring you home
You think you're all alone, gotta do it on your own riding solo
Is there someone you can call, when you stumble and fall?
Cause you don't know, if you'll be getting up again

Don't you think your life's worth saving?
Don't you know that love's amazing?
Don't you want to lay your troubles down?
Lay them down

If I thought love was just a word, I might feel the same way too
But there's so much more than that, and it's waiting here for you

When He Cries - Sara Groves


This song, written by John Gorka, was recorded by Sara Groves on her "Station Wagon - Songs For New Parents" album.

Looks like an angle when he's sleepin'.
There's a little piece of
heaven where he lies.
Looks like an angel when he's sleepin'.
But he looks like Charles Bronson when he cries.
He looks like Charles Bronson when he's cryin'.
He doesn't have a mustache
but he's tryin'.
When he's content he's like a present sent from
paradise.
But he looks like Charles Bronson when he cries.
He looks like Charles Bronson.
He once went to Wisconsin.
He looks like Charles Bronson when he cries.
