Lifeline: On My Knees

I believe despite what I do
Because of what I do
Because of what you do
Despite my imperfections
Because of them
Because you take them 

Beyond the music 
I hear 
your words 

I hear the completion of a promise
The Body of Christ
Amen
The Blood of Christ
Amen
I Believe

This is my faith 

That

When I am most broken 
You are there
You don't disappear 

As I take you in my whole being
You are there

To console
To lead me home
To show me more of me and more of you

Beyond the music 
I hear 
your words 

I hear the completion of a promise
The Body of Christ
Amen
The Blood of Christ
Amen
I Believe

This is my faith 

As I kneel 
In adoration
I am grateful
To be loved in all my pain
To be loved in all my joy

This is my faith
This is my truth

Your body and blood 
in me...

It is finished 
so I can begin again..

Amen

Lifeline: Joy


Carry it in my heart
Lost in the nights of loneliness and torment
Then comes the morning. 
In the light, the darkness of my soul is dispelled 
rays of hope resurface
It remains in the secret hiding place
deep within the walls of heart
What can be gained from dwelling 
on pain?
Nothing, but more and more of the same
So let the light shine 
even if my body can't always show
let joy reign 
and 
lies 
fall back 
fade

Lifeline: ?

Like marks that never end
At the end of every statement 
Hanging without answers

Marks of wonder 
Marks to ponder 

Rising from the heart
to the throat 
to the mouth 

Or 

Falling from the mind
to the mouth 
out the lips

Asking
Seeking 
Questioning

None answer

The 
Marks
Hang 

Like notes on a bar 
that never end
