Awake my love, the morning comes!
At last I see your smiling face
Grant me this and only this
To be with you till slumber wins
Is there need for other things?
What joy can any other bring?
I chose to set my love on you
and nothing else can ever do
Forever, now you've told me twice
I believe; with all that I am
Come what may come what will
Forever we'll be together still
What is this? I call. I call.
But no one comes for quite a while
There you are! I've found you now
Where'd you go? I'm glad your safe
Rest, rest. I hear you say
I lost my way, but now I'm here
And now again we'll never part
Don't worry, don't worry, you have my heart
Where'd you go now? Lost again?
My love has lost her way again
Twice now the door has closed
But is she lost, or has she gone?
Lost, Lost! you say to me
I lost my way but not again
This time I will watch my way
This time I will never stray
Now your here, but where'd you go?
You're here in flesh but not in soul
The lamp I see is burning out
The flame is gone, but where'd it go?
Another, another. There is another.
Your heart has loved another lover
So here I stand with broken glass
From a memory never come to pass
Oh, what is that I seem to hear?
Forever, forever rings in my ear
A promise I hoped would last
But crumbles now at first attack
Formed it was with sincere love
But lacking that which makes it strong
No pith, no strength no commitment was found
It was thought that feeling would linger round
Come back my love it isn't safe!
Your lover loves with cruel hate
Guard your heart, don't let it break
Come back to me, come back it's safe
Too late, too late the damage is done
Two hearts are scarred from one mistake
One breaks from loss, one breaks from gain
Oh, will they ever be the same?
Away, away she's gone away
I want to follow, to show the way
But lost in full is her love for me
How can you help what scorns your love?
No, not lost. I see a spark
A tiny flame inside her heart
Will it last? And will it grow?
I guess it's not for me to know
The wood cries out from stinging blows
The roots can feel it down below
The pain extends to every part
The pain, the pain of a broken heart
Return to me my lover scorned
For I as well have left a love
Return to me and heal this pain
I am the loved who's lost a lover
Good morning, my love that never left
I don't deserve your tender care
What is this? The one I loved
Has come again to love the lover
I chose this title because that's what I want you to do when you come here. This is a place to share my thoughts and experiences. A record of my journey. A place to share what I see about God, and I would be honored if you would come and watch with me.

Statue of Clay?
So why didn't I just put my name? Well, to answer that question I'll first tell you why I chose this name. I chose it because it's what I am. See, my goal is to be a statue that stands fixed pointing to heaven, and for now i'm just made of clay. When the rain comes I often melt and lose my form. But the more I stare at the sky, the more the Son will bake me, and the stronger I will become. One day I hope to be a statue of stone, that can stand the weather, unmovable, staring to the sky without blinking. Why didn't I just use my name? Because every time I write I don't want it to be "me" writing. I want to remember to keep my gaze fixed upon Him and so I chose a name that will remind me to do just that.
