Through The Storms


I did not know His love before,

the way I know it now.
I could not see my need for Him,
my pride would not allow.
I had it all, without a care,
the Self-sufficient lie.
My path was smooth, my sea was still,
not a cloud was in my sky.

I thought I knew His love for me,
I thought I'd seen His grace,
I thought I did not need to grow,
I thought I'd found my place.
But then the way grew rough and dark,
the storm clouds quickly rolled;
The waves began to rock my ship,
my anchor would not hold.

The ship that I had built myself
was made of foolish pride.
It fell apart and left me bare,
with nowhere else to hide.
I had no strength or faith to face
the trials that lay ahead,
And so I simply prayed to Him
and bowed my weary head.

His loving arms enveloped me,
and then He helped me stand.
He said, You still must face this storm,
but I will hold your hand.
So through the dark and lonely night
He guided me through pain.
I could not see the light of day
or when the storm might wane.

Yet through the aches and endless tears,
my faith began to grow.
I could not see it at the time,
but my light began to glow.
I saw God's love in brand new light,
His grace and mercy, too.
For only when all self was gone
could God' love shine through.

It was not easy in the storm,
I sometimes wondered, Why
At times I thought, I can't go on.
I'd hurt, and doubt, and cry.
But God never left my side,
He guided me each day.
Through pain and strife,
through fire and flood,
He helped me all the way.

And now I see as never before
how great His love can be.
How in my weakness He is strong,
how God cares for me!
He worked it all out for my good,
although the way was rough.
He only sent what I could bear,
and then He cried, Enough!

He raised His hand and said, Be still!
He made the storm clouds cease.
He opened up the gates of joy
and flooded me with peace.
I saw His face now clearer still,
I felt His presence strong,
I found anew His faithfulness,
He never did me wrong.

Now I know more storms will come,
but only for my good,
For pain and tears have helped me grow
as naught else ever could.
I still have so much more to learn
as God works in me;
If in the storm I'll love Him more,
that's where I want to be!

Letting Go

As silence fills my loneliness
Only for you my heart cries
The growing pain within myself
That tears every senses of my life.

Tears flow endlessly
Even my eyes swells in deep agony
But nothing had been left
That I burned even more with desire
Just to feel the warmness of your embrace.

I still have the memories when we first met
Memories that I thought would just be the beginning
And would never end
But suddenly it was gone with the wind.

I always say I LOVE YOU
Deep inside my heart I do
Thinking that you feel the same way too
That even we're miles away we can make it through

I felt my world shattered like a glass
One day when you told me that I was just a back up
And that you are still in search of your perfect match
For someone you can marry even when there's no real LOVE.

I have been waiting for a chance
Hoping that one day you would realize and understand
I gave you everything that I have
Just to let you know that I love you so much

You have closed your door to me indeed
Even if I was just trying to talk, just being a FRIEND
Then I realized, Perhaps I was obsessed and was pushing myself to you...
And now, I need to say goodbye and Let go!

I See the Face


Tears still fill my eyes when I call his name,
Nothing had to ever change.
How could he dare do that to me,
Leave me in all this misery.

I want to know, if he loved me so,
Then why I am all so all alone
Never he said will you be afraid
I'll protect you, nothing will change.

Why did he say those things to me
So he would see if I believed
I want to hear, if he loved me dear,
Then why I am all so all alone

He slipped his hand under my chin,
And looked with such a loving grin,
The kind that melts your heart to gold,
The kind you bury deep inside your soul.

I want to see, if he loved me deep,
Then why am I all so all alone.
He touched my hand, in a single swipe,
He changed my world, my light my life.

And ran his fingers through my hair,
He gave me such an enchanting glare,
I thought I knew that he loved me true,
Then why am I all so all alone.

He called me each sunrise to live in his world,
To breathe on his life and live on his words,
And gladly I would forever extend,
This love between us 'til my journeys end.

But who'd have believed, he went before me,
That's why I'm all so all alone.
Gladly take his place I would,
With a smile on my face, if I only could.

I'd brave the storm, and wait for him,
Till the ends of the world, to his arms again,
I would take his place, Till I see his face,
But I am still all so all alone.

He took of my life, and soul, and heart,
when from this life he had to depart.
Please, God, I just don't understand,
can’t my heart make him live again.

If only it could, if only of would, 
But that’s why I'm all so all alone.
I dream of the day, when his face I'll see, 
Shining in light and glorify.

But 'til the day I feel his embrace, 
I must dream of his life, and remember his face.
But 'til the day, that I see his face, 
I will remain all so all alone.
