Here are a couple new praise songs I've written over the past couple weeks:

"Prodigal"

Prodigal

So here am I broken and in the rain
Here am I, I don’t know what to say
I ran away so long ago to live a life of shame
I turned away, despising the love that you gave

Chorus:
But You waited for me- lifted my eyes and said that You love me
Gave me a reason to tell the whole world what You’ve done
You came and embraced me- brought me to life and forgave me
Brought me into Your house and told me to call it home.

So here I am, different and changed
Here am I, I’ll never be the same
The love I know that fell right from Your hands
Though my life falls apart- Love stands

"You Reign"

You're far greater than any song could sing
Far more powerful than we could ever see
So we lift up our hands and raise our voice
To the One who makes everything glorious

Chorus:
You reign, over all the earth
You reign, nothing matches Your worth
You reign, let the oceans cry out
That throughout all the earth- You reign

We are merely servants in this place
We come before You bowed down on our face
So we lift up our hands and raise our voice
To the One who made everything glorious

Its been a while since I have posted on this blog, because I have been working hard on my movie reviews blog. But school has started kicking in, creating lovely times of stress and pressure. I have had plenty of times where I have made a complete fool out of myself, and its only September. I'm still healing from Mama's death, although it is a lot easier now than it was in August.

God has been working through me in showing me that I need to have more authentic worship. More engaged worship, and more honest worship. I only wish I could engage the youth I work with as well. It seems like they grow more apathetic every day, and that is very disheartening.

I have felt called to stop performing in coffeshops, etc with my mainstream music, and focus on writing praise and worship music and worshipping with others at churches. I just have to trust in God that He will provide the words and places. God is the ultimate networker, haha.
