endless possibility

Here are the words to a song I wrote recently.

endless possibility

I’ll never be the same again
Never feel the way I felt
Never be just who I want
And maybe that’s not so bad

Rely on Me is what You say
Live in My strength,
Trust and obey
All the rest is meaningless
Will waste away, return to dust
Help me see what You see in me
And know that with You that’s
Endless possibility

I just can’t do the things I want
Stop doing things I want to stop
Quit messing up and falling down
And maybe that’s not so bad

Rely on Me is what You say
Live in My strength,
Trust and obey
All the rest is meaningless
Will waste away, return to dust
Help me see what You see in me
And know that with You that’s
Endless possibility

All my thoughts You knew before
Yet You loved me still somehow
I loved You back, you took me in
And now it’s not so bad

Rely on Me is what You say
Live in My strength,
Trust and obey
All the rest is meaningless
Will waste away, return to dust
Help me see what You see in me
And know that with You that’s
Endless possibility

What I know, what I believe, are different now, hard to conceive
What You see, what You show, what You’ve planned for me, I know
I’m dreaming now, Your thoughts in mine, I wait for You, our hearts entwined
There’s nothing left but
endless possibility

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under Heaven.

Gabriel and the Vagabond

I just love this song by Foy Vance. Here is the vid and the lyrics are below. When was the last time you got down beside someone and whispered hope in the name of the Lord? I need to do it more often, I know.


Gabriel and the Vagabond


There's a man in on corner and his clothes are worn
And he's holding out his hand
You could see in his eyes as the people walk by
He knows they don't understand

Ya see they just think he's gonna take their money
And go and spend it all on dope
Then a man stopped by and I saw a smile inside
As he gently whispered "hope"

Well the tramp started to cry, just kept saying,
"Why? why? why?
Could you see I'm a dying tonight
Well I'm 32 and I've got this one pair of shoes
And a bad taste in my mouth
I think it's clear to see that even God don't love me
Or else why would He leave me this way."

Then Gabriel just smiled and said be peaced my child
Salvation is here today

He got up to his feet and he sang Hallelujah
People were turning around in the street
He looked them in the eyes and he sang,
"Hallelujah, there's someone here that you gotta meet
Someone you just gotta meet."

When the vagabond turned around well without a sign
Gabriel just smiled and disappeared
Then he looked to the crowd and they were laughing out loud
But he could not see them fore tears
When his vision came round
There was a young girl on the ground
I knew she was fine and hard to cope (I think he sings she was finding it hard to cope)
She never was a fighter until he laid beside her
And gently whispered "hope"

They got up to their feet and they sang Hallelujah
People in the street were turning around
They looked them in the eyes and they sang,
"Hallelujah, there's someone here we have found"
They sang,
"Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We are the voices crying in the wilderness
Hallelujah, Hallelujah."
The people in the street started their sins to confess
And a chorus of,
"Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Every knee will bow and every tongue confess
and the voice of one crying in the wilderness crying
Hallelujah, Hallelujah"

MIT Students Create Car That Drives Itself

Nice! Now if I only had the $400,000 to buy me one. Does it come with a fridge and hot tub? TV and DVD player? WII with Guitar Hero, yeah that's the ticket . . . hmmm would you get a ticket? I recently heard (hat tip to mk) about a woman who put her RV on cruise control and then walked back into the kitchen to make a sandwich. This would have eliminated the wreck and subsequent lawsuit that she won because she thought it was already installed!? I guess with the millions she won, she should buy this system for her RV, or just make her wraps pre-trip like the rest of us. She's definitely trippin' in more ways than one.
