Don't take my heart

Don't take my heart
It doesn't belong to you
I know I have displayed it foolishly
And I can't blame you for thinking it's available
But I have to be truthful
It belongs to someone else
I don't know who he is yet
But I know it's not you
He loves Jesus
You don't
He's already changed
You haven't
He prays for me even though he hasn't met me
You don't
He's consumed with others
You're consumed with self
God has chosen him for me
He is the rightful owner of my heart

I know I have foolishly displayed my heart for you
Forgive me, I was wrong
I am wrong to believe that he's doesn't care what I do now
He does, I do
I long for the day that he will hold me in his arms and tell me
"I've waited for you.
I've saved my heart for you
I've trusted God that you would come
I prayed for you
I loved you when I didn't even know you"

So please don't take my heart
It doesn't belong to you

Unwilling

And I said goodbye
Not for wanting
Not for ease
Not for another

Only because it was the only open road

I loved him
And love him still
But should one heart climb a mountain
Reach the top alone
Only to descend to the valley where the other awaits
Then both would remain in the valley
Among grass so withered and dead

And now
My heart remains unready
To love again
For who can compare
With the one
Unwilling to climb

Fallen Leaves

Autumn flakes of amber
Fall breezes bring them down
Brittle and tender
Spray a fragrance so
Becoming of the season

Golden blankets
Spread thick on the grass
Children run and there is laughter
Like a moment of joy
To roll and play
In the sweet scented mess

Can there be such beauty in death

Manage me

Change is good
You heard me say
Laugh, you did
And walked away
You don't believe me
But that's okay
You've no reason
To trust me today
But give time it's due
And you will see
We'll work together
And you will trust me
You're the boss
And I'll do as you say
Submission because
God wants it that way
Although we're not friends
I can still pray for you
And maybe soon
That will change too
Change is good
And always will be
Especially when
The change is in me
