"Smile" †

This is my attempt at writing a sappy song, haha... hope you guys like the lyrics!


"Smile"

(verse 1)
Yeah, I know that life is hard
But I know that God is good
So don't worry about tomorrow
'Cause He'll take care of you just like the sparrow

(chorus)
Smile (smile!) smile bright,
Because your smile (smile!) shines like the stars tonight
Oh smile (smile!) smile soon
Because your smile (smile!) glows like the moon
Yeah smile (smile!) smile bright
'Cause if you smile at me, then I just might... smile too!

(verse 2)
Maybe you don't know
What your smile can do
But when I see that smile on your face
Suddenly, everything's okay

*chorus*

(bridge)
And if your smile (smile!) plays hide and seek, I will find it for you
And when your smile (smile!) is hard to keep, I will smile for you
And if I ever cause your smile to go
Then there's one thing I want you to know:
I'm sorry, please forgive me

*chorus*

"Remember" †

I wrote this song after hearing a great message by my brother, Erik, on how we need to "remember" God. It talked about how we need to remember who God is... whats He's done, and teach our families so we don't forget.

A lot of the lines and phrases of this song are scripture, mainly because God's word is way more powerful than mine, so if I can use his... ALL THE MORE POWER!

Psalm 119:55 "I remember your name in the night, O LORD, and keep your law."

"Remember"

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh oh oh

I will remember you in when I rise
Your goodness Lord
I will remember you in the night
And keep your law (2x)

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh oh oh

Let us remember who our God is
You are our Savior, our lives to you we give
From generation to generation
We will never forget who our God is

We will not forget what You've done
Your mighty works
When You sacrificed your Son
Love undeserved (2x)

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh oh oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh oh oh

Let us remember who our God is
You are our Savior, our lives to you we give
From generation to generation
We will never forget who our God is

We remember You, please remember us
When we come to your kingdom
We live for You, 'Cause You died for us
So we could come to your kingdom
Our sons and daughters will learn your ways
So we will never forget who our God is

"Until I See You Again" †

This is a song I wrote for my oldest brother, Erik. I've grown up with him my whole life and he has become one of my closest friends in the past years. He got a job working for Answers in Genesis last year and has been working from home. Now however, he needs to be in the office, so he bought a house in Petersburg, KY, and is moving down there in a week! Crazy how life changes...


"Until I See You Again"

My friend you have been
Through the thick and the thin
My friend you will remain
Until I see you again

I... I will miss you, but these lives are moving on
I... I will never forget you... until I see you again

You have shown me the way
Through the example of your faith
And I'll continue to look up to you
Until I see you again

I... I will miss you, but these lives are moving on
I... I will never forget you... until I see you again

Here I stand
Saying goodbye
But I will pray for you
Until I see you again

I... I will miss you, but these lives are moving on
I... I will never forget you... until I see you again

I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you again
I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you again
Very soon

"Every Five Minutes" †

Another song I wrote this week.

"Every Five Minutes"
(verse 1)
I fall down, you pick me up, I fall down again
Lord how many times will you forgive my sin?
"Seventy times seven" is what you replied
And all I could see was the love in your eyes
(chorus)
Every morning your mercies are new,
And every five minutes I'm forgiven by you

Every morning your mercies are new,
And every five minutes I'm forgiven by you
(verse 2)
How could you use me after all that I do?
And after all you gave me what could I offer you?
You said in my weakness that you are shown strong
And you are proved holy by all I do wrong

KEEP IT EXTREME!!
I'M OUT † †

"Definition of Love" †

Another one of the songs I've written this week.

"Definition of Love"

(verse 1)
Three little words, are so easy
To say to her, but do you mean them
"I love you" used to mean something
Deeper than this, but now it means nothing
And we don't really know, what love is... anymore

(pre-chorus)Selfish reasons, and selfish feelings
are typical of, what we all call love

(chorus)
Love is patient, love is kind
It keeps no record of wrong or right
And how can we know Jesus Christ,
If we don't even know, what his... what his love is

(verse 2)
Sinners we still were, when Jesus died to save our lives
We did nothing to deserve, the love that he gave to us
He gave it anyway, that he might show us
The salvation he made, so the definition of love... is Jesus

"This longing" †

Hey guys here's one out of the three songs I've written this week.

"This longing"

(verse 1)
You are more lovely than anything my eyes can see
You are more beautiful than anything this world can offer me
The glory of your majesty is shining like the sun
(chorus)
You are the one I long for, You are the one I need
Nothing on earth can satisfy this longing inside of me
The things of this world will never last, the pleasures of the day
But the joy of the Lord is eternal, it will never fade away

(verse 2)
Lord sometimes I'm blinded by my sinful lusts and my selfish pride
But I'm dead to sin and alive in Christ, and that is why my Savior died
All I want, is all you are, so remind me once again
(bridge)
This world is so blinding, its sparkling and shining,
But lies are all it has to sell
But your love is higher, and you shine much brighter,
And you stand where I only fell

"Simple song of praise" †

Here's a song I wrote today. Please comment and let me know what you think!

"A SIMPLE SONG OF PRAISE"

(verse 1)
Ancient of days, we sing a simple song of praise
for you, for you
........yeah yeah yeah..........
Reign in our hearts, we're giving everything we are
to you, to you

(chorus)
A simple song of praise, is all I have to bring,
Simple are my words, compared to you my King,
I bow before your thrown, to glorify your name,
Hear me when I sing, a simple song of praise

(verse 2)
You opened up my eyes, and now I have eternal life
in you, in you
........yeah yeah yeah.......
You are the Lord, the only one this song is for
is you, is you


KEEPIN IT EXTREME!
IM OUT † †

"Becca's Song" †

Here's another song I wrote recently.



BECCA'S SONG:

(verse 1)
The other night you were feeling broken,
I saw it in the words you spoke and,
Though I didn't know what to say,
I dropped to the ground, on my knees and prayed

(chorus)
I'll lift you up with holy hands, before the powerful "I AM"
I'll bring you to God's mercy seat, where his love and grace are free,
And though, I don't know, all you go through,
I will always pray for you

(verse 2)
God is bigger than all your problems,
His grace, an ocean with no bottom,
He promised me he'd hear my plea,
And the promises he makes, he will always keep

KEEP IT EXTREME!
IM OUT † †

"Come home"

Hey guys, here's a song I wrote last week.

Verse 1:
You cry all night when you get home,
You say you're fine, but feel so alone,

You've got questions you've got pain,
You think I'm perfect, but were the same,

God is calling:

Chorus:
Come on home! Come on home! come home and lose your fears,
I died for you, so you could live, let me wipe away your tears,
I chose you, now its time, for you to choose me,
AND BE FREE

Verse 2:
We've all got problems of our own,
We're all broken, you're not alone,

There is a God who's felt all you feel,
And through it all, His love is real,

And He is calling:

(chorus)

Change

This is a song I wrote today, I really like it, too bad I type music, because the tune is pretty sweet too. Enjoy :D

VERSE 1:
They say change, act like they do,
You begin to think its true,
That who you are is second rate,
You’re filled with fear and filled with hate,

Now who you are is what you aren’t,
And you’re about to fall apart,
So drop this act and end this show,
Just be yourself and let it go….

CHORUS:
You don’t have to change for me,
(I’ll love you anyway), just wait and see,
You can just be your self, it’s what God made you to be,
You don’t have to change, Oh please don’t change for me.

VERSE 2:
You’re not this, and you’re not that,
You’re too thin or you’re too fat,
If words could kill than you’d be dead,
All these thoughts inside your head,

You talk too fast, or talk to slow,
I don’t care, I hope you know,
Cuz it’s not true, and they’re all wrong,
You’re my friend, so hear this song…..

CHORUS

VERSE 3:
When they say no, God says yes,
You don’t have to be the best,
Cuz he loves you for who you are,
He’s in control and never far,

He sent his son to Calvary,
Gave his life, so you’d be free,
But he’s alive, he’s not dead,
This is what he has said…..

Alternate chorus:

You don’t have to change for me,
I love you anyway, just wait and see,
You can just be your self, it’s what I made you to be,
You don’t have to change, Oh please don’t change for me.
