in your arms

LYRICS:
in your arms, I don't need all the answers
in your arms, I find a place of peace
in your arms, when I reach into the chaos
you hold me close and say, "hush"
you hold me close and say, "hush"

in your arms, I find that I have value
in your arms, I know that I am free
in your arms, I feel that I am lovely
you hold me close and say, "love"
you hold me close and say, "love"

in your arms, the world it seems much different
in your arms, my vision it is changed
in your arms, I long to make a difference
you hold me close and say, "go"
you hold me close and say, "go"

well you have won my heart, my love
you have won me over
and you're the one I want, my love
you are my heart's desire

in your arms, I know that you are holy
in your arms, I know that you're unique
in your arms, I know that there's no other
who'll hold me close and say, "hush"
you hold me close and say, "hush"

well you have won my heart, my love
you have won me over
and you're the one I want, my love
you are my heart's desire

in your arms

more than this (live)

At the beginning of the month I was in Kiev, Ukraine for a 50 year jubilee celebration of Youth With a Mission. I had the opportunity to sing one of my songs with some of the musicians! It was really fun (and really quickly put together.. they learned the song and performed it in one day!)

P.S. Loren Cunningham liked my song! :-) hehe

LYRICS:
I don't want mere ideology
I won't want what we call reality
Or only what my eyes can see
I know there must be more
I don't want mere ideolgy
I don't want only what my eyes can see
I know there must be more than this
I know there must be more

And so I step outside and take a breath
Of something that is so much other than me
I cannot believe we all "just exist"
Oh-- what a purposeless life that would be
That would be

I don't want only what I can feel
I don't want only what my heart determines to be true and real
I know there must be more than this
I don't want only what my heart can feel
I don't want only what I can determine to be real and true
I know there must be more, be more than this

And so I step outside and take a breath
Of something so much other than me
I cannot believe we all "just exist"
Oh-- what a purposeless life that would be
That would be

I want Truth and all the light He brings
I want Love and all the freeing
I want Hope and all the joy
I want You and all You are

What a miracle it would be
To see that we are not only we
And what we see is not only what can be seen
What a miracle it would be
To see that we are not only we
And what we see is not only what can be seen

update

Wow, I've really neglected this whole blog thing...

Well, anyways... a small update on my life:

I'm going to America and Belgium with Wim! We have plane tickets and we leave in just a little less than 3 weeks. This time is going to be probably pretty amazing and also pretty challenging. But I'm really looking forward to it.

We'll talk about YWAM Georgia and missions, and we'll also get the chance to meet each other's family and friends and experience each other's homeland.

In the meantime, we're still busy with ministries and meetings... oh, the YWAM life. :-)
