Come, Holy Ghost, God and Lord - Pentacost

Come, Holy Ghost, God and Lord!
Be all Thy graces now out poured
On each believer's mind and heart;
Thy fervent love to them impart.
Lord, by the brightness of Thy light,
Thou in the faith dost men unite
Of every land and every tongue;
This to Thy praise, O Lord, our God, be sung.
Allelujah! Allelujah!
Thou holy Light, Guide Divine,
Oh, cause the Word of Life to shine!
Teach us to know our God aright
And call Him Father with delight.
From every error keep us free;
Let none but Christ our Master be
That we in living faith abide,
In Him, our Lord, with all our might confide.
Allelujah! Allelujah!

Komm, Heiliger Geist, Herre Gott

his dark hair sits upon his cocco face
the bright eyes peaking though his hands
as we play our game
his smile bounded over his small face
there is joy in his eyes as he
looks up to his "mama"
her love embracing him
will i ever love like her?

sentimental

I took my love, I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
’til the landslide brought it down
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Well, I’ve been afraid of changing cause i’ve
Built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get olderAnd I’m getting older, too
Well, I’ve been afraid of changing cause i’ve
Built my life around you
Time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m getting older, too
I get older, too
I took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain, I turned around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
The landslide brought it down
The landslide brought it down

senior formal

After being bought a dress by the parental units and finding myself one date, i ventured to my senior formal at one Harvard Club in Boston. The start of the eveing was appitizers upstairs along with major amounts of social awakwardness in a stuffy place like that. Then dinner in the ballroom, again, social awakwardness about what fork to use, ect. Don't get me wrong i was with friends and thus making the whole event, massivly enjoyable. The the dance, after a change in shoes, my date and i danced. Yes i danced, horribly, but danced, had fun and well i could careless what people think. T minus one week until i graduate college. A bit surreal, but heck it will be awsome.

in reflection....folders

wise people often say what dosen't kill you makes you stronger. I think it was the same man who told me that if i eat my spinach it will grow hair on my chest.

life can't be spent tucking feelings and emotions away, they only build up...solution: get ones friends to teach you how to paint.

Ash Wednesday

Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hears, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowleding our wretchedness, may obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; though Jesus Chirst our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen

The ashes are imposed with the following words
Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.

at this point in my life

Done so many things wrong I don’t know if I can do right
Oh i, oh i’ve
Done so many things wrong I don’t know if I can do right
At this point in my life
I’ve done so many things wrong I don’t know if I can do right
If you put your trust in me I hope I won’t let you down
If you give me a chance I’ll try
You see it’s been a hard road the road I’m traveling on
And if I take your hand I might lead you down the path to ruin
I’ve had a hard life I’m just saying it so you’ll understand
That right now, right now, I’m doing the best I can
At this point in my life
At this point in my life
Although I’ve mostly walked in the shadows
I’m still searching for the light
Won’t you put your faith in me
We both know that’s what matters
If you give me a chance I’ll try
You see I’ve been climbing stairs but mostly stumbling down
I’ve been reaching high always losing ground
You see I’ve been reaching high but always losing ground
You see I’ve conquered hills but I still have mountains to climb
And right now right now I’m doing the best I can
At this point in my life
Before we take a step
Before we walk down that path
Before I make any promises
Before you have regrets
Before we talk commitment
Let me tell you of my past
All I’ve seen and all I’ve done
The things I’d like to forget
At this point in my life
At this point in my life
I’d like to live as if only love mattered
As if redemption was in sight
As if the search to live honestly
Is all that anyone needs
No matter if you find it
You see when I’ve touched the sky
The earth’s gravity has pulled me down
But now I’ve reconciled that in this world
Birds and angels get the wings to fly
If you can believe in this heart of mine
If you can give it a try
Then I’ll reach inside and find and give you
All the sweetness that I have
At this point in my life
At this point in my life
-Tracy Chapman, At This Point in my Life

monday, monday

Today I woke up in dread of the first monday of the semester, classes from 9.10 to 5.30. At about 10.30 am, I was sitting in the penthouse reading Descartes, to have the lights go out and power was officially out in Emery, Mac and Jenks so the provost in his great wisdom canceled class. WOOT.

MONDAY MONDAY!!!

We're All In This Together

Well My friend, well I see your face so clearly
Little bit tired, little bit worn through the years
You sound nervouse, you seem lonely
I hardly recognize your voice on the telephone

In between I remember
Just before we wound up broken down
Drive out to the edge of the highway
Follow that lonesome dead-end roadside sound

We're all in this thing together
Walkin' the line between faith and fear
This life don't last forever
When you cry I taste the salt in your tears

Well my friend, let's put this thing together
And walk the path that worn out feet have trod
If you wanted we can go home forever
Give up your jaded ways, spell you name to God

We're all in this thing together
Walkin' the line between faith and fear
This life don't last forever
When you cry I taste the salt in your tears

All we are in a picture in a mirror
Fancy shoes to grave our feet
All that there is a slow road to freedom
Heaven above and the devil beneath

We're all in this thing together
Walkin' the line between faith and fear
This life don't last forever
When you cry I taste the salt in your tears
