is the grass really greener on the other side?

Storm

When the darkness closes in
You are the Light to guide me
When the cold pierces my skin
You are the Fire to warm me

Whenever a storm surrounds me
I find You there

I hear You in the thunder
I taste You in the rain
I see You in the lightning
I feel You in the wind
I feel You in the wind

When the rain is crashing down
You are the Shelter over me
When there's no one else around
You are the Friend to comfort me

Whenever a storm surrounds me
I find You there

I hear You in the thunder
I taste You in the rain
I see You in the lightning
I feel You in the wind
I feel You in the wind


Broken

Repentance must be real
Sorrow, sorrow must be great
Heartache must be felt
For these worldly chains to break
Oh

When were you ever worthy?
When are we ever worthy?
When were you ever worthy?
Oh, precious child of Mine!

Forgiveness is not far away
My hand is upon you
Darkness cannot sustain
Healing in My shadow
Oh

When were you ever worthy?
When are we ever worthy?
When were you ever worthy?
Oh, precious child of Mine!
Don't you know
I've kept you close
All along
All along

Oh, precious child of Mine!
Don't you know
I've kept you close
All along
All along
Pick up your cross and follow Me

Thank you, Ashley Jones, for awesome music and awesome lyrics. I needed to hear both of these songs tonight.

It's one of those periods in life where I feel trapped in limbo again. I feel like I'm freefalling, where I can do things but really, they don't matter and they don't make much of a difference. I feel somewhat judged. I feel extremely undervalued. I feel weird. Sometimes I even feel like a phony. But I'm not. I'm real. Christ is real. His love and His truth are real. And His joy is real too. And I praise God for that.

Little shoutout to a friend...thanks for your encouragement, and I hope that somehow you can be aware of how much I care for you.
