"If I Fall"

I'm going to show my heart,

And I'm going to show it all--

Because I'll need God to put it back together,

If I fall.

"Heaven Surrounds Me"

I thought I was hidden--

Until someone found me.

I thought I was lost--

But God's all around me.

I may live in pain--

But heaven surrounds me.

"Dancing in the Rain"

Dancing in the rain--
Where there is no sun to shine.
Thought I had a love
But I found out he wasn't mine.

Dancing in the rain--
On the soles of my feet.
Staring carefully,
At everyone I meet.

Dancing in the rain--
To the beat of my own drum.
Only a few know the story
About where I come from.

Dancing in the rain--
With a smile on my face.
I can still see the beauty,
While being in a monstrous place.

Dancing in the rain--
Without any shoes.
Pouring my heart out,
What else is there to do?

Dancing in the rain--
With a weight on my shoulder.
I feel the pressure of the world,
As I'm slowly getting older.

Dancing in the rain--
To my own little groove.
I have to dance my heart out,
I have to make a move.

Dancing in the rain--
Watching the steps that I take.
Holding onto God,
So my heart doesn't break.

Dancing in the rain--
May be an easy thing for you.
But always trying to stay strong
Is a hard thing to do.

"I Believe"

I believe--
That everything happens for a reason.
I believe--
That everyone has their season.

I believe--
That dreams come true.
I believe--
In love with all I do.

I believe--
That the sun will shine.
I believe--
That I'll be fine.


I believe--
Things take their time.
I believe--
In a poem and a rhyme.

I believe--
That happiness should be shared.
I believe--
That the world does care.

I believe--
Even when the road gets rough.
I believe--
Even when things get tough.

I believe--
He is by my side.
I believe--
That He is my guide.

"In My Heart"

In my heart--
All I want to do is show some love.
In my heart--
I just want to give thanks to God above.

In my heart--
It sings a song of hope.
In my heart--
Just thinking of different ways to cope.

In my heart--
I hope I write to inspire.
In my heart--
I just want to be someone to admire.

In my heart--
I know that there's so much more.
In my heart--
I want to be someone you adore.

In my heart--
There's a sea filled with passion.
In my heart--
There's a chance to style in fashion.



In my heart--
Hope is all I have left in me.
In my heart--
I don't have to be someone I pretend to be.

In my heart--
With Him I can do all things.
In my heart--
I know I can get through whatever life brings.

"Faith In My Heart"

I have faith in my heart--
For brighter days.
I have faith in my heart--
On this road with many ways.

I have faith in my heart--
That my heart will become anew.
I have faith in my heart--
With all that I do.

I have faith in my heart--
That my dreams will come true.
I have faith in my heart--
To believe in you.

I have faith in my heart--
Even after all I've been through.
I have faith in my heart--
Enough for me and enough for you.

"She Is Clothed in Strength and Dignity"

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

And walks with delicate grace.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

With a modest face.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

And speaks in a beautiful tone.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

Standing strong and fully grown.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

And speaks with charm and heirs.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

With beautiful, long hair.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

And she has a heart full of love.

She is clothed in strength and dignity--

The kind of strength from up above.

"Praying for Hope"

Stress so high--
That it's hard to cope.
Praying to God--
That I see some hope.

Stress so high--
That it brings me down.
But I look for hope--
When I turn around.

Stress so high--
And it continues to build.
Looking for hope--
To keep me fulfilled.

Stress so high--
And it's no wonder.
I sleep best at night--
When it rains and thunder.

Stress so high--
But I'm trying to cope.
Praying to God--
That He shows me hope.
