Crashing

I'll never forget that morning when I heard you were gone
A tear ran down my cheek. You had been my friend for so long.
And I wish I could have known how you really felt,
And I wish I would have heard your desperate cry for help.

The world is crashing, so where do you stand?
Are you living strong on the rock, or are you sinking in the sand?
When hope is dying and all seems lost,
Do you run away from your fears or do you cling to the cross?

It's never as bad as it seems.
You don't realize what you mean.
Your life is a light,
So hold on tight..
And you'll shine....

Even when the world is crashing,and you're not sure where you stand.
You want to live on the rock but you're still sinking in the sand.
And though your hope is dying and all seems lost..
You can't run away from your fears, you've got to cling,
Cling to the cross.

untitled... for now. :)

This life is over-rated and my memories are faded,
but you remain.
God, you remain.
There was a time when I cried,
'till I let my old self die.
Now I'm changed.
I'm not the same.

So I will lift my hands to the sky.
'cause this love I have found is mine.
And though there's pain inside,
it will subside,
'cause your love's like and endless tide.
Washing away my pride.

You are the one we've all adored.
You are my savior and my Lord.
You are the King of Kings, you make me free!
Under you I will dance and sing.
And to the cross, I'll cling.

The sun rises, on another day.
Twenty-four hours to sing God's praise.
He is with you, so throw your cares away.
Let Him in, and show you the way....

So you can lift your hands to the sky.
Do you know the love you can find?
You may have pain inside,
It will subside,
'cause his love's like an endless tide.
Washing away our pride.
He is the King of Kings, he makes us free!
Under Him we will dance and sing,
And to the cross we'll cling.

Cell Parts

What’s in a cell?
I’m here to tell.
C’mon guys, don’t make me yell.

We got the nucleus that’s in charge,
Real important but not real large.
DNA that runs through chromosones that make you you.

Next comes the rough ER, filled with ribosomes,
Makin protien, they’re not alone.
Cytoplasm fills up the space.
Golgi bodies are a storage place.

Cell mambrane is like a wall
Holdin’ up the structure so it doesn’t fall.
In vacuoles food is stored
Microtubuals offer support
Now we know all the cell parts
GEE…..
Aren’t we smart?

I Need You

im so confused, i need you near
its only your voice i want to hear.
i need you in my heart i need to feel your touch
i need you to hold me up, for you to be my crutch

im in a world that just keeps dragging me down
and the words i say are just hollow sounds
have i been loving you with my whole being
or is that just a song I've been singing

and why do i cry, in bed, at night
why can't everything just be alright
im trying hard to hang on tight
to the faith i still have- im loosing this fight

I pray tonight with my eyes glistening.
Show me you're there. Lord, show me you're listening.
I need you now, more than ever.
Come to my heart and stay forever.

how can i give my all to what i can't see?
how can i give my life up, faithfully
Oh Lord, please show me a sign
let me know your love is mine

I've poured my heart out and i still don't feel alright
all i want is for you to hold me tight.
Lord, i want to stand in your light
my life is yours tonight.

Let Us Be the Windows

His presence fills me up, and surrounds me.
His mercy falls on my like rain.
And I'm amazed at how he forgives me,
and takes away all of my pain.

Yet there are still so many lost people
With no where left to go.
Who will guide them to the steeple,
And who will be the one to show

That there is no sense in waiting,
No reason for debating.
God is ready for you,
With open arms to come home to.

So let us be the windows,
to those lurking in the shadows.
Help them see past the wall,
and let God's grace fall.

Here we stand in the middle of God's light,
Strong in his power and might.
And all that's left to do is invite
everyone to celebrate his life.

And let us be the directory,
to the endless victory.
Let us help those who are lost,
and lead them to the cross.

Let us be the windows

States of Matter

There are 3 states of matter, I'm talkin' 'bout today
Solid, liquid, gas, now let me hear you say
SOLID, LIQUID, GAS!
Solid keeps its shape and volume, no matter what you do
But if you raise the temp'ature, it will turn into
A Liquid!
Liquids' volume stays the same, that will never change,
but if you switch containers, its shape will rearrange!
Now gas!
Gas- has- no- predetermined shape, or predetermined volume
It can fill up your lungs, or even a balloon.
SOLID, LIQUID, GAS!
Now let's talk about the particles
cuz we are so smarticle
how fast do they move,
in solids just like you?
(vibrate fists back and forth)
Liquid!
They move past each other and around one another
movin' fast and free,
one by one, separately!
(fast hand movements)
Gas!
What was that speedin' by?
Oh my, Oh my!
A gas particle, to fast for my eye!
(wild, crazy hand movements)

NOW STOP!!!
and turn the temp'ature low.
get low real low
molecules movin' slow
and stop!
and turn it sown lower
get lower and lower
molecules movin' slower
cuz now we're back to
Solid, liquid, gas!
Solid, liquid, gas!
word!
