A Song for my Stressed Out Soul

One more mile 'til I lay rest
I have put myself through this rigid test
But the mile has never ended no distance has been gained
I do not see greatness I wanted to obtain
Where is my embrace from the race that I have run?
I have kept a steady pace but still I have not won

Rest easy
Have no fear
I love you perfectly and love drives out fear
I'll take your burden
You take My grace
Rest easy
In My embrace

I am such a sinner I fear my evil ways
I fear my imperfection I fear my final days
I just want to take control and snap this rusty chain
Drop my heavy burden it seems to be in vain

Rest easy
Have no fear
I love you perfectly and love drives out fear
I'll take your burden
You take My grace
Rest easy
In My embrace

I am not a bold man even though I want to be
I am just a dreamer with a timid history
Scared of confrontations I fume all through the night
The world has it's hold on me and I just want to fly
The sky, the sky is open wide
But I can't fly 'til I step aside

Rest easy
Have no fear
I love you perfectly
And perfect love drives out fear
I'll take your burden
You take My grace
Rest easy
In My embrace
Rest easy, rest easy
Rest easy, in My embrace
Rest easy

I've Learned

...that when you say goodbye to someone you love you don't just say it once, you say it everyday.

...that real friends are the ones that know your strengths and weaknesses, what makes you laugh and who makes you cry, they've seen you at best and helped you at your absolute worst, they are the ones that know you inside and out and still love you unconditionally.

...that family is very important.

...that no matter how hard your try and how capable you are you can't always help someone and sometimes they won't let you.

...that sometimes you have to make the same mistake more then once before you really learn your lesson.

To be continued...

TGIF

Instead of writing about my week I'll let the following do my talking...

'Well it's a strange old game you learn it slow One step forward and it's back you go You're standing on the throttle You're standing on the brake In the groove 'til you make a mistake Sometimes you're the windshield Sometimes you're the bug' -The Bug, Mary Chapin Carpenter

'Oh look at how she listens She says nothing of what she thinks She just goes stumbling through her memories Staring out on to Grey Street She thinks, “Hey, How did I come to this? I dream myself a thousand times around the world, But I can’t get out of this place”' -Grey Street, Dave Matthews Band

'I'm not here for your entertainment You don't really want to mess with me tonight Just stop and take a second I was fine before you walked into my life' -U + UR Hand, Pink

'This is your life, are you who you want to be This is your life, are you who you want to be This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be When the world was younger and you had everything to lose'
-This Is Your Life, Switchfoot

...you get the point.
