New Song: TBTN "God to you, Love"

The deepest wounds healed in my heart
Burn for yours
Every time I see
The deepest wounds in your heart
Are Open Sores
Because it's still new

And how do I address
How can I access you?
Your pain builds walls thicker
Than sound can come through
Let me call you out of stone
You are not alone in this
I feel every tear

And you are precious to Me
You carry Holy Strength and Beauty
You are Rock Solid, Let me make you Liquid
You can melt into me
And I will carry you through
This hell the world's done to you

Genuine

God, teach me patience. Teach me patience with people I don't like. Help me to love them even if I can't like them.
Creative Abba, lead me to be humble. Teach through the words that come out of my mouth, but not just others, me too. Teach me that my own way isn't always the best way. Open me to new thoughts.
Eloheim, teach me what it means to be a God-fearing woman. Teach me to respect those who disrespect me, to give flowers to those who hurt me, and to give smiles to those who rupture me with their words.
Teach me that tears are like 1000 words. Deep emotion is worth feeling. Balance is worth working to keep. Love is worth giving. Vulnerability is worth reaching. Trust is worth giving and keeping.
Let Your power be made perfect in my weakness. Show Yourself through my imperfection.
You are God over all of me.

Song: You are the Breath I Breathe

I wrote this song with a desire in my heart to put God into every aspect of my life. I have been working to write many songs about being led, listening to God, and following God to do His will. I struggled after I wrote this song, trying to figure out if I wrote it for me or if I wrote it for God, because I felt like my motivations weren't right as I was writing it. So I put it down for a couple days, because there is nothing worse that not being genuine with the music that I am feeling from my soul. But I felt okay about what I had written, came back to the song with a humble heart, and saw a little more of what God was teaching me in these words that God inspired me to write.

Let the serenity I seek
Cleanse my inner being
Let motivation form
To keep these steps I'm walking
Let this balance beam of life
Give me support to cope
Keep my self-strength looking toward you
You are my everlasting

Teach me to hold your hand
Guide my thoughts to become yours
Teach me to love your words
You've followed through with me
There are no other means to exist in this world
You are the breath I breathe

When my lens is indecisive
I can't see beyond the hill ahead
You walk beyond
I can see your footsteps
Let me be a holy sacrifice
Come away with nothing
You are my daily bread
You are everything I need
