Song Vomit

I can't stop it..
It just keeps coming...
song vomit.

Since I have been home, I have been glued to my piano. It's like when you have been away from a boyfriend or girlfriend for a long period of time, and so when you get home, all you want to do is be with that person. It's almost sickening, and your other friends get mad...

Well, that's my relationship with my piano. Gone for so long, now I won't leave her side.

The Lord has given me song after song since I have been back from Cambodia. While I was there, I didn't write, other than in my journal. Being in the nations= creative juices galore.


I will let you sample some of the tasty treats that have been an overflow from God's heart for the nations and my time in Cambodia:


(The inspiration for this one came from spending a day in a Buddhist temple. Inside, there was a gold statue of the "reclining Buddha" that was about half a football field long, and close to 60 feet tall. The sight of it was unbearable. My heart exploded and I was undone. I became sick with the idea that these people were giving their lives to a false idol. My eyes filled with tears and I couldn't talk to anyone around me. I just kept whispering over and over again "Jesus you are the only one for me... you are the only one".

We are in relationship with the Living God. He is the only one who conquered death)



You're the One

I hold my breathe as I walk past them,
Casting down their crowns of Gold.

I look past the sea of glass,
it's better than my eye can behold.

With their wings they fly on past me,
point to the King of Kings.

You're the one, You're the one, You're the One.
You're the one, You're the one, You're the One.
You're the one, You're the one, You're the One.
For me.

No rainstorm could have prepared me for,
the way your thunder feels.

No lightshow could ever let my eye know
The way your lightning burns.

You're the one, You're the one, You're the One.
You're the one, You're the one, You're the One.
You're the one, You're the one, You're the One.
For me.

There He sits on His perfect throne,
clothed in majesty.

And then they sing out their perfect love song,
I join them in a 5 part harmony.

And we sing...

"Holy, is the Lord God Almighty
Holy, is the Lord God Almighty."

And then I see Him, the perfect Lamb,
slain for my sins.

And then I see Him, the perfect Lamb,
slain for my sins.

You're the one, You're the one, You're the One.
You're the one, You're the one, You're the One.
You're the one, You're the one, You're the One.
For me.

You're the one, You're the one, You're the One.
You're the one, You're the one, You're the One.
You're the one, You're the one, You're the One.
For me.


Here is a video of another song I wrote with my dear friend Rachael Turner last week:
