Alone Yet Not Alone

Beautiful and encouraging song. 
God is always near. 
He said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you!"

I Will Be Rising From the Ground




SKYSCRAPER 

Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence, as it's ending, 
like we never had a chance.
Do you have to make me feel like, 
there's nothing left of me?

You can take everything I have 
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper

As the smoke clears
I awaken and untangle you from me
Would it make you feel better to watch me while I bleed
All my windows, still are broken, 
but I'm standing on my feet

You can take everything I have 
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper

Go run run run I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear yeah
Go run run run yeah it's a long way down
But I'm closer to the clouds up here

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper

The Child of Yesterday



The Impossible Dream

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run  
Where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell
For that heavenly cause
And I know
If I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart
Will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be 
Better for this

That one man, scorned 
And covered with scars,
Still strove with his last 
Ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable, 
The unreachable,
The unreachable star
And I'll always dream
The impossible dream
And I'll reach
The unreachable star!

The Rose
























Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed…
“Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.”
Some say love it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed…
“Comfort ye, comfort ye my people saith your God!”
Some say love it is a hunger, and endless aching need…
“I am the bread of life, whosoever eateth of this bread shall never more hunger”
I say love, it is a flower…
“I am the rose of Sharon, I am the lilly of the valley”
and YOU, it’s only seed…
“the seed is the word of God”
Its the heart afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance…
“I am sent… to bind up the broken heart”
It’s the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes a chance…
“trust in the Lord and lean not to thine own understanding”
It’s the one, who won’t be taken, who cannot seem to give…
“Give, and it shall be given unto thee, pressed down and shaken…”
And the soul, afraid of dying, that never learns to live…
“except a corn of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it abideth alone”
When the night, has been too lonely…
“Why art thou cast down oh my soul?”
And the road, has been to long…
“be not weary in well doing”
And you think, that love is only, for the lucky…
“comfort the feeble minded”
and the strong…
“strengthen the weak”
Just remember…
“Hope thou in God”
In the winter, far beneath the bitter snow…
“Is any afflicted? Let him pray.”
Lies the seed…
“cast thy bread upon the waters”
That with the Sun’s love…
“the Sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings”
In the spring…
“weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning”
becomes, the Rose…
“The desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing.”
After everything is said and done, all that really have in this life is-
FAITH……….HOPE……….and LOVE!
And the greatest of these, is LOVE!
