Let Me Love You Lord

A song. I have chords but I haven't checked them recently so I won't put them up. Written to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in 2007

Let Me Love You Lord

Oh let me love you Lord,
like you love me
won't you open up my eyes
so I can finally see
I could live life on my own
but that would only be
a shadow of the joy that comes
from knowing you as number one
let me love you like
you love me

I've come too far to turn away,
but still so far to go
if I'm gonna get much further,
I know I have to lose control
I want so much to trust you
but the voices in my mind
and the things on earth I cling to
have begun to drive me blind

Oh let me love you Lord
like you love me
won't you open up my eyes
so I can finally see
that Jesus' death and resurrection
set me free
I do not have to be afraid
to love you each and every day
Let me love you like
You love me

So I come to you this moment
needing to be pulled apart
will you put me back together
with love of Jesus in my heart?
Will you let me live for you Lord
like a candle in the dark?
May I learn to hate what you hate
and to seek what you love

Let me love you Lord
like you love me
Will you let me live a life
that lets the people see
that you can make a princess
of a mess like me
Will you drive the evil out
and fill me up with love
let me love you like
you love me

Another explanatory post

I found my old journals from highschool and uni.I'm in the process of putting everything (poems, songs, artworks that I don't think are totally rubbish) up here so that if the house burns or floods or Alexis finds my old journals, or some other random event happens they won't be lost forever. Yes, the recent floods in QLD spooked me. Besides, I never know, someone somewhere might get something out of reading these, and that would be awesome. These were never written to be hidden, but I've never had the guts to share them, until now. I hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment but please be gentle with me.

Bear window art

In the aftermath of the Australian floods I've decided to immortalise some of my arty stuff by putting it on a blog. Some stuff might be good, some might be not-so-good, but I'll never know if I don't put it out there.

This is some window art I made for my baby. The paints are probably 10 years old, we found them in a cupboard at my parents' house. So considering that I think it turned out well. So easy to do, I just traced the outline from an old colouring in book and filled it in with colour.
