Life could you be a little softer to me.
Life could you be a more gentle to me.
Yeah I know this is a selfish plea,
Because Christ sacrificed his flesh
On the cross for me
But this world is hard,
It's cruel and I wish it could be...
Softer to me
~Relient K

The winds of change and circumstance
Blow in and all around us,
So we find a foothold that's familiar.
And Bless the moments that we feel You nearer.
When life had begun, I was woven and spun
You let the angels dance around the throne.
And who can say when, but they'll dance again
when I am free and finally headed home.
~Nichole Nordeman

Well I've heard, don't know if it's true,
But that you might be coming back soon.
So if that's something you're thinking bout doing,
I'm ready when you are.
~Justin McRoberts

For some reason, I found myself almost in tears several times tonight, and just filled with this tiredness and all around desire to just go Home. Call it selfish, or foolish, or anything else you wish, but I feel it just the same. And I know that when I go have my alone time with God, He is going to bust me open and I'm going to bawl.

And I'm ok with that.

In fact, I really, really want it.

In open fields of wild flowers,
She breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daisies and the roses
In no simple language
Someday she'll understand the meaning of it all
He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close as a heartbeat or a song on her lips
Someday she'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call her and she will come running
And fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and she'll pray,
"I want to fall in love with You"
