It’s been a while since the two of us talked
About a week since the day you walked
Knowing things would never be the same
With your empty heart and mine full of pain
So explain to me, how it came to this
Take it back to the night we kissed
It was Dublin city on a Friday night
You were vodkas and coke, I was Guinness all night

We were sitting with our backs against the world
Saying things that we thought but never heard
Who would have thought it would end up like this?
Where everything we talked about is gone
And the only chance we have of moving on

Is try to take it back
Before it all went wrong

Before the worst, before we mend
Before our hearts decide
It’s time to love again
Before too late, before too long
Lets try to take it back
Before it all went wrong

There was a time, that we’d stay up all night
Best friends talking till the daylight
Took the joys alongside the pain
With not much to loose, but so much to gain
Are hearing me? Cause I don’t wanna miss,
Set you a drift on memory bliss
It was Grafton Street on a rainy night
I was down on one knee and you where mine for life

We we’re thinking we would never be apart
With your name tattooed across my heart
Who would have thought it would end up like this?
Where everything we talked about is gone
And the only chance we have of moving on

Is try to take it back
Before it all went wrong

Before the worst, before we mend
Before our hearts decide
It’s time to love again
Before too late, before too long
Lets try to take it back
Before it all went wrong

If the clouds don’t clear
Then well rise above it, well rise above it
Heavens gate is so near
Come walk with me through
Just like we use to, just like we use to

Lets take it back
Before it all went wrong

Before the worst, before we mend
Before our hearts decide
It’s time to love again
Before too late, before too long
Lets try to take it back
Before it all went wrong

I don’t think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
And I count the colors in his eyes

He’ll never fall in love
He swears, as he runs his fingers through his hair
I’m laughing ’cause I hope he’s wrong
And I don’t think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
That I know all his favorite songs

And I could tell you
His favorite color’s green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister’s beautiful
He has his father’s eyes
And if you ask me if I love him
I’d lie

He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn’t a light go on
Doesn’t he know that I’ve had him memorized for so long
And he sees everything black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I don’t let nobody see me wishin’ he was mine

I could tell you
His favorite color’s green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister’s beautiful
He has his father’s eyes
And if you ask me if I love him
I’d lie

He stands there, then walks away
My God, if I could only say
I’m holding every breath for you

He’d never tell you
But he can play guitar
I think he can see through everything but my heart
First thought when I wake up is
My God, he’s beautiful
So I put on my make-up
And pray for a miracle

Yes, I could tell you
His favorite color’s green
And he loves to argue
Oh, and it kills me
His sister’s beautiful
He has his father’s eyes
And if you ask me if I love him…
if you ask me if I love him…
I’d lie

What is happening to society?

Suddenly it’s ok to be unfaithful? Since when did cheating on your partner become such a norm?

The excuses are also pathetic… ‘oh, it’s just who I am… ‘ or  ’ I can’t help it.’ or [my personal 'favourite'] ‘ Because he’s ‘HOT”…

Are people nowadays so easily satisfied by such temporary things? or not satisfied enough with the person they’re with and don’t have the decency or courage to break up with them first?

I recently found out one of the people at work cheated on not one, but three of their girlfriends and is now engaged to one of them and that completely shocked me. I didn’t know how to view them anymore.

What do you do in a situation like this? Condemn them? or continue to love them as Christ loved us?

The answer seems so simple… love them as Christ loves us. But so much easier said than done. This definitely got me thinking though… who I am to judge? Have I not been faithful to my God? Have I not loved someone/something more than He?

Yet, God does not condemn me, He continues to love me.

I have no right to condemn/judge this person. That’s God’s job.

Oh blessed lamb once slain
Will reign forever more
His hands once bound now save
Our God will never fail

He is Lord
He is Lord
Sings my soul
He is Lord
And He lives
Yes He lives
I’m alive ’cause Jesus lives

‘Tis at the cross of Christ
Where earth and heaven meet
Where sin is overcome
To God the victory

And now
Let the earth resound with praise
For our Saviour God He reigns
He is high and lifted up
Arise
For the King of glory waits
He is coming back again

Sticking With You – Addison Road

Addison Road – Sticking With You
From the album Addison Road

Come on, it’s me you’re talking to
There’s something going on inside of you
Don’t have to say it, but I wish you would
Cause it would be much easier

You always hide behind yourself
You walk a lonely road with no one’s help
I hate to break the news
You’re headed for a fall

Chorus:
And if I have to jump
Then I’ll jump
And I won’t look down
You can cry, you can fight, we can scream and shout
I’ll push and pull
Until your walls come down
And you understand I’m gonna be around
I’m sticking with you

Even if you try and shut me out
I’m staying here cause that’s what love’s about
I might let you down, but I won’t let you go

So lean into me, I want to know
Everything about the fear you hold inside
Cause you and I are better than just one, so

Chorus:

If that’s what it means to love you
If that’s what it means to have your back
If that’s what it takes to show you
Then I’m in, I’m in

Chorus:

… that’s one secret I’ll never tell.

I am in love with this show at the moment :)

Take me by Hawk Nelson (lyrics)

Guess this means you’re sorry
You’re standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
What you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you’d never come back
But here you are again

Cuz we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you

Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for tryin’ to pick a fight
I know that I’ve got issues
But you’re pretty messed up too
Anyway, I found out I’m nothing without you

Cuz we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you

Being with you is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn’t miss you, but I can’t let go
Oh yeah

Cuz we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you
