Barely breathing

Lifehouse has some amazing songs, and this one is the closest to describing my barely beating heart now.  I'm so thankful that the Lord holds on to us and pulls us through when times are hard!

The broken clock is a comfort

It helps me sleep tonight

Maybe it can start tomorrow
From stealing all my time

And i am here still waiting

Though i still have my doubts

I am damaged at best

Like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart

I'm barley breathing

With a broken heart

That's still beating

In the pain

There is healing

In your name

I find meaning

So i'm holding on

I'm holding on

I'm holding on

I'm barely holding on to you

The broken locks were a warning

You got inside my head

I tried my best to be guarded

I'm an open book instead

And i still see your reflection

Inside of my eyes

That are looking for purpose

They're still looking for life

I'm falling apart

I'm barely breathing

With a broken heart
That's still beating

In the pain

(in the pain)

Is there healing?

In your name

(in your name)

I find meaning

So i'm holding on

(i'm still holding)

I'm holding on

(i'm still holding)

I'm holding on

(i'm still holding)

I'm barely holding on to you

I'm hanging on another day

Just to see what you will throw my way

And i'm hanging on to the words you say

You said that i will be okay

Broken lights on the freeway

Left me here alone

I may have lost my way now

I haven't forgotten my way home

I'm falling apart

I'm barely breathing

With a broken heart

That's still beating

In the pain

(in the pain)

There is healing

In your name

(in your name)

I find meaning

So i'm holding on

(i'm still holding)

I'm holding on

(i'm still holding)

I'm holding on

(i'm still holding)

I'm barely holding on to you

I'm holding on

(i'm still holding)

I'm holding on

(i'm still holding)

I'm holding on

(i'm still holding)

I'm barely holding on to you

That's the way it ought to be...

I have a very unique blessing in my life of many, many kindred spirits.  The Lord has overwhelmed me with friends who I know will be by my side forever, supporting me, and lifting me up when I need it most.  One of those dearly cherished souls sent me this song the other day, and it brought tears to my eyes.  I am humbled to know that I am able to make others feel safe, secure, and blessed just as I have been... So, Mish, I'm posting this one for you, in the midst of hard times.  Thank you to you, and many others, including my WEASels, Amy and Cory who fight off my enemies and speak truth over my life...

More Than You'll Ever Know by Watermark

Something brought you to my mind today 

I thought about the funny ways you make me laugh 

And yet I feel like it's okay to cry with you 

Something about just being with you 

When I leave I feel like I've been near God 

And that's the way it ought to be... 

CHORUS:

'Cause you've been more than a friend to me 

You fight off my enemies 

'Cause you've spoken the Truth over my life 

And you'll never know what it means to me 

Just to know you've been on your knees for me 

Oh, you have blessed my life 

More than you'll ever know, yeah, yeah, yeah 

More than you'll ever know, yeah, yeah, yeah 

You had faith, 

when I had none 

You prayed God would bring me a brand new song 

When I didn't think I could find the strength to sing 

And all the while I'm hoping that I'll 

Do the kind of praying for you that you've done for me 

And that's the way it ought to be... 

You have carried me 

You have taken upon a burden that wasn't your own 

And may the blessing return to you 

A hundredfold, oh yeah... 

A hundredfold, oh yeah...
