lyrics

A lady told me once a thing I’d filed away
among the kinds of words of relevance delayed.
“He’ll take a weight off your shoulders,
older lies melt away beneath the splendor of His grace.”
And He walks on water,
and He walks through my walls,
moving His throne into my heart.
And He sings in silence,
all the ways He finds us,
how can I be anything but reminded?
And they’ll talk about Him, and maybe they’ll try to stop Him,
‘cause He’s a little unpopular, but haven’t we all been there before?
I put my hand up to my eyes, looking satisfied,
thinking every single answer lay inside.
But I thought I’d made it very clear,
I didn’t want an interfering God.
I’m walking past, I’m walking fast,
I’m hoping He won’t catch up with me.
Please, won’t you catch me?
I’ve played the pacing game too many times,
there’s an avenue of footsteps on the edges of my room.
She always knows the love I’m racing after;
with a cascade of laughter, she reminds me of the Way.

I started composing when I was 10. I called one of my first songs "Nostalgia", although I can't recall what my ten year old self was so nostalgic about. Released my first album in 2000. Things got busy, but I never stopped writing. Even if it meant composing on a mostly-broken piano in the basement of a university that I wasn't even enrolled in. Enjoy all the music and reading! Pax.
