I learned to live behind a mask,
Hiding all my feelings.
Force a smile, and if they ask,
Pretend I'm not still reeling.
I learned to live unlike myself,
Bending to every wish.
Fading, but you could never tell.
Was it worth the risk?
I learned to live with all formality,
Playing my part with ease.
Slowly, painfully, I forgot reality.
Who was I supposed to be?
I learned to live a dangerous lie,
W...
"Hang on, just hang on. I'll get you out of here, I promise." Colton West called to the woman at his side over the roar of devouring flames.
He'd already placed his helmet on her head, and was now covering his own as they rushed around and between fallen wooden beams consumed by the blaze.
Daylight appeared as a pinprick in the next room. Colton stopped.
"What are we doing?" The woman's voice w...
It seems like yesterday
That I first met you
Joyful, full of life,
Carefree and humble.
The more I learned of you,
The more awed I became,
Who was this girl
That smiled through her pain?
The doctors said terminal,
You simply shrugged it off.
Kept on living to the fullest,
Cherishing every moment.
No one could've guessed
That your life was slowly fading,
For you smiled ever-still,
We all kept ho...
The darkness is heavy,
The light is scarce,
Yet hope glows
In two scarred hands.
The darkness is deep,
The light is a flicker,
Yet peace shines
In His pierced side.
The darkness is dangerous,
The light hard to reach,
Yet safety lies
In His arms stretched wide.
The darkness is heavy,
But it has not won,
For light still shines
In God's only Son.
He vanquished the darkness,
He defeated the grave....
In your arms, I found my home.
In your arms, I found my hope.
In your arms, I found redemption
In your arms, I found forgiveness.
In your arms, I found my L I F E.
In your arms, I found forgiveness.
In your arms, I found redemption.
In your arms, I found my hope.
You, Lord Jesus, are my home....
Yesterday was the darkest day
The world has ever seen.
The day when Governor Pilate asked,
"Shall I crucify your King?"
"Crucify Him! Crucify Him!"
Came the shout from all the Jews.
The Lamb of God, the Blameless One,
Charged falsely beneath the light of moon.
"Do it yourselves!" Came Pilate's reply,
"For I find no fault in Him."
So the Jews took the Messiah to be crucified,
With brutal hatred a...
Away, they ran,
Their backs they turned
From the Lord their God
And His mighty hand.
They were freed from their captors
Of 400 years,
Asked to have faith that the Lord was near.
They praised His Name,
Fell on their knees in worship,
And realized that idols were worthless.
Yet, again, they turned their backs,
Falling once more to idols,
Their faith gone for miles.
Away, they ran,
Their backs th...

I met the gaze of a ghost. Her pale, thin face was gaunt, surrounded by thick brown hair. Her dark eyes were hollow, shadows flanking the undersides. I drew my lips into a thin line. So did she. My eyes fell to black ink tha...
