The Climb by Miley Cyrus

- Hannah Montana Lyrics

Listen

Listen to the song here in my heart
a melody I start but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
Its only beginning to find release

Ohh the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen

[CHORUS]
Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what
You've made of me
I followed the voice, you gave to me
But now I've gotta find
My own

You should have listened
There was someone here inside
Someone I thought had died
So long ago

Oh I'm screaming out
And my dreams will be heard
They will not be pushed
Aside or turned
Into your own
All 'cause you won't listen

[CHORUS]

I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't...

[CHORUS]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ever felt like you've never been heard?
I did.
Ever felt as if your desires and dreams got buried deep inside?
I did.
Ever followed the voices of others around you, and not the one that is in your heart?
I did.
Ever felt like you're walking in life all your own, eventhough you've got heaps of people around you?
I did.
Ever felt as if your desires have been pushed aside by others, and soon yourself?
I did.
Ever felt as if the person closest to you do not understand you or know how you feel?
I did.

Well.. realize this.. I answered with "I DID".. all past tense.
Now.. just like the song.. I'm moving on..

Fingerprints of God

I can see the tears filling your eyes
And I know where they're coming from
They're coming from a heart that's broken in two
By what you don't see
The person in the mirror
Doesn't look like a magazine
Oh but when I look at you
It's clear to me

That I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it's true
You're a masterpiece that all creation
Quietly applauds
And you're covered with
The fingerprints of God

Never has there been and never again
Will there be another you
Fashioned by God's hand and perfectly planned
To be just who you are
And what He's been creating
Since the first beat of your heart
Is a living, breathing
Priceless work of art

Just look at you
You're a wonder in the making
And God's not through
In fact, He's just getting started!

"Lessons Learned"

There's some things that I regret,
Some words I wish had gone unsaid,
Some starts, that had some bitter endings,
Been some bad times I've been through,
Damage I cannot undo,
Some things, I wish I could do all all over again,
But it don't really matter,
Life gets that much harder,
It makes you that much stronger,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were, Lessons learned.

And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.

There's mistakes that I have made,
Some chances I just threw away,
Some roads, I never should've taken,
Been some signs I didn't see,
Hearts that I hurt needlessly,
Some wounds,
That I wish I could have one more chance to mend,
But it don't make no difference,
The past can't be rewritten,
You get the life you're given,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were, Lessons learned.

And all the things that break you,
Are all the things that make you strong,
You can't change the past,
Cause it's gone,
And you just gotta move on,
Because it's all, Lessons learned.


by Carrie Underwood

Love is Waiting

Love Is Waiting (Album Version)

In the autumn on the ground Between the traffic and the ordinary sounds I am thinking signs and seasons While a north wind blows through I watch as lovers pass me by Walking stories, who's and how's and why's Musing lazily on love, pondering you Let's give it time, give it space And be still for a spell When it's time to walk that way We wanna walk it well CHORUS I'll be waiting for you baby I'll be holding back the darkest night Love is waiting `til we're ready `Til it's right Love is waiting It's my caution not the cold There's no other hand that I would rather hold The climate changes, I'm singing for strangers about you Don't keep time, slow the pace Honey hold on if you can The bets are getting surer now That you're my man CHORUS Bridge I could write a million songs about the way you say my name I could live a lifetime with you and then do it all again And like I can't force the sun to rise Or hasten summer's start Neither should I rush my way into your heart

"Love is patient..." 1 Cor 13
Love is a choice.

"Lift" by Shannon Noll

I know you're hurting
Feels like you're learning
'Bout life the hard way
And it ain't working

Seems like forever
That you've been falling
It's time to move on
You're life is calling, yeah

This was never meant to be the end
Close the book and start again

[CHORUS]
Cause I know how hard it can get
But you gotta lift
You gotta lift
And sometimes that's how it is
But I know you're stronger
Stronger than this
You gotta lift
You gotta lift

When you can feel your
Whole body's aching
What's left of your heart
It won't stop breaking
You gotta let go
You took a hit
Time to pick up now
Move on from this

This was never meant to be the end
Close the book and start again

[CHORUS]
Cause I know how hard it can get
But you gotta lift
You gotta lift
And sometimes that's how it is
But I know you're stronger
Stronger than this
You gotta...

Lift yourself up above all the hurt
Don't give in
Wipe your eyes and remember
You're better than this
Let them know
That they took their best shot
And missed
C'mon and lift

This was never meant to be the end
Close the book and start again

[CHORUS]

Pick up now...
Pick up now...


Thanks so much, dear friend, for introducing me to this song :)
Not gonna give up, gonna pick myself up, lift His Spirit within me, leaving the past behind & moving forward...

"Set Me Free" by Casting Crown

It hasn't always been this way
I remember brighter days
Before the dark ones came
Stole my mind
Wrapped my soul in chains

Now I live among the dead
Fighting voices in my head
Hoping someone hears me crying in the night
And carries me away

Chorus:
Set me free of the chains holding me
Is anybody out there hearing me?
Set me free

Morning breaks another day
Finds me crying in the rain
All alone with my demons I am
Who is this man that comes my way?
The dark ones shriek
They scream His name
Is this the One they say will set the captives free?
Jesus, rescue me

Chorus

As the God man passes by
He looks straight through my eyes
The darkness cannot hide

Do you want to be free?
Lift your chains
I hold the key
All Power on Heaven and earth belong to me
(Repeat)

You are free
You are free
You are free

Am going through some rough patches... it has been crazy... it was all good until a friend realized and told me that there was something about me that wasn't right.. something about the way I shared my life.. and so, I searched through.. what could be? I'm happy, it has all been well.. But soon I wonder whether was it reality or did I create an illusion for myself that everythin was alright? Then, things got worst, thoughts and emotions bugging and torturing my soul... Lord, when will the time come for me to just let it all go and be in peace from all these? Why can't I just express it out like normal people do?

Sigh... when will the time for me to be able to abandon everything at His feet.. Worried over lil things and seem which seem to be turned into something huge, because I couldn't voice out how I really felt? Worst, sometimes I can't remember what was bothering me, 'cuz I usually just shrug it aside. My life is not only affected but the people who cares and loves me as well are affected. Why the inadequacy when I can hang unto You adequacy & Your confidence.

You have been ever so faithful to me and the people who was hurt by me. I just pray that.. You'll give me courage.. Courage to face all these and to overcome all these with You, as well as listening to what You have to say.. Faith to know that You are there for me, and You will help me through and that it is possible to break through it... Wisdom & discernment to decide and make choices which are favourable in Your eyes... Patience to wait on You.. because it is so so so hard to ever do that..

Help me to still praise Your Name, despite of all these.

"I'll Praise You In This Storm" by Casting Crowns

I was sure by now,
God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.

Chorus:
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away

Chorus

I lift my eyes unto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes unto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

Chorus

At the Foot of the Cross by Kathryn Scott

At the foot of the cross
Where grace and suffering meet
You have shown me Your love
Through the judgment You received

PreChorus:
And You've won my heart
Yes You've won my heart

Chorus:
Now I can
Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down
At the foot of the cross

At the foot of the cross
Where I am made complete
You have given me life
Through the death You bore for me

Bridge:
I'm laying every burden down
I'm laying every burden down
