SIXPENCE NONE THE RICHER LYRICS
"Breathe Your Name"
It's every day
I'm in this place
I feel this way
I feel the same
It's every day
I'm in this place
I feel this way
I feel the same
Is it all inside my head
Is it all inside my head
I'll view the list
And take my pick
I view my faith
And make a choice
'Cause it's nobody else's but mine
But you are in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you move my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
So many days within this race
I need the truth
I need some grace
I need the path
To find my place
I need some truth
I need some grace
The part of you
That's part of me
We'll never die
We'll never leave
And it's nobody else's but mine
May the Lord grant, that we may engage in contemplating the mysteries of his heavenly wisdom with really increasing devotion, to his glory and to our edification. Amen.

Goo Goo for dolls
I would give up forever for a touch of feel right now.
Cause I know that you feel me right now
The closer to heaven I will be
and I don't want to leave for this moment is real
They say sooner or later, it is over
I don't want to miss you tonight
I don't want the world to see me..
I don't think that they would understand
Everything is made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I can't fight the tears that don't come
Or moments of truth in their lies
when everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you are alive
Da Da Da Da, humm
Do Da Da
Humm, Hum, Blin, Blin
Blin....stroke, so softly
I don't want the world to see me...cause at this moment, I don't think that they would understand
When we are made to be broken, Oh, God I just want you to know who I am
who I am
(got from the goo goo dolls lyrics)

Fearful
GOD
Help Me
Is there anyone that will bleed for a soul in distress?
Is there anyone that will feel and then speak out loud?
What is the difference between us and them
I am raging inside
I am fearful at every turn
What more should I fear, should it be the war that breaks the bones of children? Should it be the democrats with their sword of freedom? What is it that makes my soul quiver? Is it the black man next door that doesn't have any teeth and looks at me to long?
Oh, Christ you make me so afraid, I tremble at the sound of your knowledge. I hide in fear of the unknown.
Oh, Christ you alone are the one that I adore with fear
You, O bread of life
God Help Me
God Help Me
Are You Hearing the sound of my cry?
My heart bleeds and aches all day
Silence, Silence is all that I hear and feel and think.
So I call out to the crowd that labels themselves with you
Oh, People Hear....I am afraid and alone, People please say that you have the answer that will save my life, my frail and meaningless life. How long will I stand on the edge of the depth and face the painted clown. The depth seems easier than the joke of the painted one.
Help!
Help!
Where are you people of Most Holy!
You draw your swords and pat my hand. You tell me to not fear, or to be female, for my purpose is not of any use in a man's mind.
Help
Help! I don't feel female anymore and I have the sorrow to tell you. You bastards!
In this war of unspoken feeling, unspoken weapons, where do I lay to rest?
Is it in the hands of my children or the lyrics of evil man, singing, singing, singing.......They never stop to see who is listening.
So people, where is it that I draw a line
What is it that will save the promises of my land.
"Meek and quiet" "Do you really believe" "You have a simple faith" "oh, I give it 9 months" "We are praying" "You are not alone, oh and sorry I haven't called for a while" "I just don't know" "Maybe we should be fearful" "You have to be strong for the children" "This will pass, many great men have done it" "Your thoughts make me want to vomit" "Pray, don't give up, keep reading, reading, reading"
What is it that I fear.....So fearful

Through trial and great joy
Though there is always much pain and trial through life, I am finding that joys outweigh the heavy load that Christ has set before us. These trials create in us a reason to push, to push, push. These past five years of marriage have brought me much joy, heaven, love, peace, children, sorrow, pain, and yes, tears. These five years are my journey, my load that Christ set before me. I am in love with the concept that my Faith will be strengthened. I delight in the fact that my children will be able to live without fear of not believing there is a God, a Savior, and most of all, a Christ. I pray that my life will always be apart of my children. My legeacy comes from Nessie, Mae, Juneau, Debbie, and Susan. These women are not perfect but each one knows that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure. Arwen Nessie dream big, without fear. Hear our voices unite and move toward the cross, feast with us at His table. I love you all, my family.

Arwen Nessie Hughes
Here is our Beautiful Baby Girl! She was born on April 17, 2006 at 1:01 pm. She weighed 7lbs and 3oz. I am so proud of her already. Delivery went well, with much less pain than last time. I just wanted to Praise God for all He has done for us and I pray that we will bring these wonderful blessings to the cross.

Gratitude
Man, I am so sorry guys but I did not write this. My beautiful Nichole Nordeman wrote this song off of her Woven and Spun CD.
Gratitude
Send some rain, would You send some rain?
'Cause the earth is dry and needs to drink again
And the sun is high and we are sinking in the shade
Would You send a cloud, thunder long and loud?
Let the sky grow black and send some mercy down
Surely You can see that we are thirsty and afraid
But maybe not, not today
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
And if that's the case . . .
We'll give thanks to You
With gratitude
For lessons learned in how to thirst for You
How to bless the very sun that warms our face
If You never send us rain
Daily bread, give us daily bread
Bless our bodies, keep our children fed
Fill our cups, then fill them up again tonight
Wrap us up and warm us through
Tucked away beneath our sturdy roofs
Let us slumber safe from danger's view this time
Or maybe not, not today
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
And if that's the case . . .
We'll give thanks to You
With gratitude A lesson learned to hunger after You
That a starry sky offers a better view if no roof is overhead
And if we never taste that bread
Oh, the differences that often are between
What we want and what we really need
So grant us peace, Jesus, grant us peace
Move our hearts to hear a single beat
Between alibis and enemies tonight
Or maybe not, not today
Peace might be another world away
And if that's the case . . .
We'll give thanks to You
With gratitude
For lessons learned in how to trust in You
That we are blessed beyond what we could ever dream
In abundance or in need
And if You never grant us peace
But Jesus, would You please . . .

Time in the Woods!

My Lord, His Love
God whispers to me
In the fall of mankind
His whispers push breath into my soul
and I unite with eternity
This eternity puts flesh back on the bone
and fullness back to the face
As heavy as I feel, He places me as light as a feather
Round and Round I ease down onto the ground
He whispers again and closes my eyes
The whisper turns into wind that blows my hair across my face
On top of the world, a platform made for me
He greets me with a Kiss
He raises His hand to touch the top of my head
His finger falls slowly down my cheek and catches my hair back from my eyes
As He leans in
I feel the breeze strong upon my face
He catches my other cheek and I feel the softness of His palm
His kiss is light and for a moment I can see
He fills me with something I cannot gather
He fills me with His kiss

Pretty Faith
How incredibly insignificant I feel in my life at moments
I plead to the God of my grandmother, Please hear me!
I plead to the God of my youth, Please hold me like you did!
God of my marriage, Where have I lost myself?
When will I feel your touch………?
What is it that I feel now? The ache that is turning over and over throughout my whole mind and heart.
We attach ourselves to a Holy Place and place a sign upon the Door, "No Intruders."
So I sit here now full and empty at the same time.
God of my existence, when is it when you will be the God of my lips again?
When will you make me believe? Whether I have been in your place all along, or I choose to turn and wind, I don’t want to be without the proof of your fingers around my wrist.
God don’t you see that I feel that I am fading and every memory is slipping past me so fast that it turns into a dream. Why can’t my words be enough, I thought they were your words, why can’t my words break power around us, aren’t we made up of words, anyway?
So, sitting here dying to understand why I am living, why am I trying so hard to feel. Broken dreams taunt me at every corner, and compliancy tries to appease my ache. I cannot live without my faith; my faith is the only thing that has blessed me. I can’t live without my strength, please heal my strength in this dying, cruel, and ungodly world. This can’t be, No it cannot be what you have intended for me…………………………………………………………………………………Or, is it exactly what you have intended Oh God of my future
Keep on singing Solomon

God is doing a work in me
He's walking through my rooms and halls
Checking every corner
Tearing down the unsafe walls
And letting in the light
I am working hardTo clean my house and set it straight
To not let pride get in the way
To catch an eternal vision ofWhat I am to become
Will you help me be new
Will you hold me to the promises
That I have made
Will you let me be new
Forgive my old self and my old mistakes
It seems easier
Living out my life in Christ
For those who do not know me
To hide the thorns stuck in my side
And all my secret faults
But you know me well
And it's you I want the most to see
And recognize the changes
A word from you empowers me
To press on for my goal
When I feel condemned to live my old life
Remind me I've been given a new life in Christ
He's walking through my rooms and halls
Checking every corner
Tearing down the unsafe walls
And letting in the light
I am working hardTo clean my house and set it straight
To not let pride get in the way
To catch an eternal vision ofWhat I am to become
Will you help me be new
Will you hold me to the promises
That I have made
Will you let me be new
Forgive my old self and my old mistakes
It seems easier
Living out my life in Christ
For those who do not know me
To hide the thorns stuck in my side
And all my secret faults
But you know me well
And it's you I want the most to see
And recognize the changes
A word from you empowers me
To press on for my goal
When I feel condemned to live my old life
Remind me I've been given a new life in Christ

The Family Of Christ in God
The Harpers and Hughes
We have come a long way with these guys. It was so nice and encouraging to be with them and feel the spirit throughout their lives. It has been a bit hard without friends that really know you and want to help you through anything. I am so glad that we went and the boys played so well. Both sets. I love you guys and I pray all goes well with you this semester.
