I will not take my love away
When praises cease and seasons change
While the whole world turns the other way
I will not take my love away
I will not leave you all alone
When striving leads you far from home
And there's no yield for what you've sown
I will not leave you all alone
I will give you what you need
In plenty or in poverty
Forever, always, look to me
And I will give you what you need

I will not take my love away.

Who would want you as you are?

What can you give they couldn't get from someone else?

What life of ease, what wedding bells
What pretty stones, what precious wealth?


Does your heart echo like a hall / 'cause there's no one there at all



When will you learn to love what's sent from up above?


[The Weepies]

The holly bears a prickle,
As sharp as any thorn,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
On Christmas day in the morn.



[Glory to Jesus, ancient and strong | Come to Your people, carry them home]

"You were a million years of work,"
Said God and His angels, with needle and thread.

They kissed your head and said,
"You're a good kid and you make us proud.
So just give your best and the rest will come,
And we'll see you soon."

All the blood and all the sweat
That we invested to be loved
Follows us into our end,
Where we begin to understand

That maybe Hollywood was right:
When the credits have rolled and the tears have dried,
The answers that we have been dying to find
Are all pieced together and, somehow,
Made perfectly mine.

I'm going to start writing more. It's been too long.
