I wanna go!

I wanna go to Marz

Where green rivers flow

And your sweet sixteen is waiting for you after the show

I wanna go to Marz

We'll meet the gold dust twins tonight

You'll get your heart's desire, I will meet you under the lights*

* I Wanna Go To Marz by John Grant

Honored

And all I can say

Is you blow me away

Like an apple on a tree

Hiding out behind the leaves

I was difficult to reach

But you picked me

Like a shell upon a beach

Just another pretty piece

I was difficult to see

But you picked me

Yeah you picked me*

Chills & Tears

* "If I Be Wrong" by Wolf Larsen

Ugh! Didn't need to hear this one today

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me*

C'mon Doll by My Goodness

Mary's shame...and redemption

The room grew still
As she made her way to Jesus
She stumbles through the tears that made her blind
She felt such pain
Some spoke in anger
Heard folks whisper
There's no place here for her kind
Still on she came
Through the shame that flushed her face
Until at last, she knelt before his feet
And though she spoke no words
Everything she said was heard
As she poured her love for the Master
From her box of alabaster

And I've come to pour
My praise on Him
Like oil from Mary's alabaster box
Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
And I dry them with my hair
You weren't there the night He found me
You did not feel what I felt
When he wrapped his love all around me and
You don't know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster box*

* Alabaster Box by Cece Winans
**  This song has been cathartic for me for a few years now.  I heard it yesterday and thought about posting it but decided against it.  It was serendipity...as I was going to be needing it tonight after receiving an email that tore my heart up yet again.  I need love wrapped around me. Seriously! Something's gotta give.

Burrito Supreme, oh **

It's hard to rely on my good intentions
When my head's full of things that I can't mention
Seems I usually get things right
But I can't understand what I did last night

And it's hard to rely on my own good senses
When I miss so much that requires attention
I have to laugh at myself sometimes
And I can see that I'm not blind

There's little relief
Give us reprieve, oh**
For all the things I've left behind
I'm positive that I'm not blind*

** I always sing this as "burrito supreme" because my then-boyfriend used to do it to annoy me. And I totally pretended to be miffed by it because it made him laugh that laugh I loved. :)
