"Lift up your eyes and look around"

I wish I could see Your face
and call you on the phone
instead I sit here and cry
and feel all alone
It's hardest to believe
when nothing goes right
and hardest to trust
when good is out of sight
The easiest thing to do
Is believe You've forgotten
and see myself alone
in this life-long mission
But then I hear You calling
and whispering my name
and I know that You love me
and You still hold me the same
"Can a mom forget her child
or the baby she has borne?
And even if she does,
I will love you more
I will not forget you
You are engraved on my hands
As surely as I live
My word will always stand."
My Lord my Keeper
how dare I hesitate
I will always love You
and when You ask, I'll wait.

My lovely weeping willow

I weep under the willow
And the willow weeps with me
I use its roots for my pillow
And it cradles me to sleep.

Please protect me lovely branches
And hold me in your arms
Cradle me as the wind dances
To keep me safe and warm.

Please hold me tight till daybreak
So I can dream all night long
Dry my tears as I cry and shake
And sing me your sweet song

Let my sorrows blow away
Like your leaves with the wind
Wherever they land may they stay
To never come around again.
