hit that

i'm high like planes

melt my heart to stone

Right under my feet there's air made of bricks
Pulls me down turns me weak for you
I find myself repeating like a broken tune
And I'm forever excusing your intentions
And I give in to my pretendings
Which forgive you each time
Without me knowing
They melt my heart to stone

And I hear your words that I made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love

Each and every time I turn around to leave
I feel my heart begin to burst and bleed
So desperately I try to link it with my head
But instead I fall back to my knees
As you tear your way right through me
I forgive you once again
Without me knowing
You've burnt my heart to stone

And I hear your words that I made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love

Why do you steal my hand
Whenever I'm standing my own ground
You build me up, then leave me dead

Well I hear your words you made up
So I say your name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love

feelings schmeelings
oh so complicated the wrapping of it all
what it appears isn't what it seems?
but what it deems
what is fleeting
double jeopardy points for accuracy
ah i wish i never knew
or that i wouldn't feel
its been so long
this angst
how will it prolong
streaks of light yes shining through
close enough but far to go
glow
and grow
and stretch
and bend
wide and narrow
small and big

will's psalm

as the storms of this life rage over me
and my eyes grow dark that i can no longer see

the beauty of your light seems to fade amidst the shadows of the deep
but your laws will i forever love and keep

this world grows more wicked by each passing hour
yet i still yearn for you my hearts true desire

in you alone will my confidence be
for in you oh Lord am i truly free

as the storms raged and the heavens divided
your glory came and this wicked world subsided

all honor, glory, wisdom, and power
by your great Name your enemies were devoured

as cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night
you led your people, your hearts delight

all that could be seen was your infinite glory
for we were all made blameless, righteous, and holy

by the blood of the lamb that was shed on the cross
you showed us your grace and your life was the cost

you brought me out of the waters deep
where death surrounded me, my soul trapped in its keep

my true love for you and my unwavering faith in your Word
because your Words are life and through it my salvation is assured

you Lord are my source of joy, peace, and righteousness
so never let me leave your Holy presence

that my sins would not cause you to turn your face away
because your discipline brings me back when i go astray

you let me come before your throne with boldness
that in you i may know the fullness

of being chosen by your sovereign grace
and until my dying day
will i ever seek your face

let this be the cry of my heart
to give you more than just a part

of this life that you have given me
i die to myself that others may see

for it is written that God is true and every man a liar
so i forsake this world that you may be my hearts only desire

your glory Lord shining through and through
your Words are life and forever true

blessed is the one whose confidence is in the Lord
for he is like a tree watered along the eternal shore

a sea of glass that sits before the very throne
of God the creator who reigns over all alone

for there is no higher name,
than the one who took all the blame

worthy are you Lord Jesus
for by your blood you have reconciled us

so come Lord and fill me with fire
for you alone are my hearts true desire

we exalt you to the highest place
for you alone are worthy of praise

we worship you Lord for your great love
a love that came to us as gracefully as a dove

so gentle are you to those you called by name
and to you i return this love the same

how wondrous, and marvelous, and glorious your ways
i sing to you songs of extravagant praise

not just empty words that have no sense of meaning
but with groanings deep within my soul i keep seeking

your wonderful presence is a consuming fire
so burn me Lord, for you are my hearts true desire

life's a beach

They gave him a manger for a cradle, a carpenter's bench for a pulpit, thorns for a crown, and a cross for a throne. He took them and made them the very glory of his career.
~W.E. Orchard

The unique impression of Jesus upon mankind - whose name is not so much written as ploughed into the history of the world - is proof of the subtle virtue of this infusion. Jesus belonged to the race of prophets. He saw with open eyes the mystery of the soul. One man was true to what is in you and me. He, as I think, is the only soul in history who has appreciated the worth of man.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

desert

This is my prayer in the desert
When all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

This is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flame

I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow

struggling with sin

7What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "Do not covet."[b] 8But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from law, sin is dead. 9Once I was alive apart from law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.11For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death. 12So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good. 13Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! But in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.14We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[c] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. 21So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22For in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. 24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

Silk Story. Designed by Elsbeth Joy Nielsen, Netherlands

Nielsen has discovered a way of producing silk without killing silkworms. Normally the worms die when their cocoons are boiled to loosen the silk; Nielsen's technique allows them to create a patch of pure silk while crawling back and forth over a platter looking for a place to build their cocoons. Once the panel is complete, they are left to pupate naturally. The resulting scarf demonstrates the material's exquisite beauty.


Packaging lights. Designed by Anke Weiss, Netherlands

How do you transform waste containers into objects of beauty? This Dutch designer traces their patterns and logos with a needle and places a light inside, which shines through the pin pricks to striking effect. www.ankeweiss.com


Aquaduct bike, Designed by IDEO, US

While not the most beautiful design in this list, the Aquaduct bike is a rare example of designers attempting to improve the lives of people less fortunate than ourselves. Millions of people in the developing world have no access to clean water and often have to walk miles to collect contaminated water. This bike makes the journey easier and also contains a pedal-powered filtration system, giving the user a container full of clean water by the time they get home. www.ideo.com

My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment,
do not let them out of your sight;
they will be life for you,
an ornament to grace your neck.

closer

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

Daydream delusion, limousine eyelash
Oh baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet-cakes and milkshakes
I'm a delusion angel
I'm a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don't want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we're going
Lodged in life
Like branches in a river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I carry you
You'll carry me
That's how it could be
Don't you know me?
Don't you know me by now?

+ joy - sorrow

only the things u love
tears for what breaks your heart
never let this world move me
let the heavens shake split the skies with your grace
and reign down your love over me
