V. 1
Who was I? Who am I?
A question pondered in endless time.
If the stars fall from the sky
My hope is a burning ember I become.
Cant stand this endless me,
This sinful me.
One more hit, one more whip.
The pain caused by my mistake.
Chorus
Leave this place behind,
A forgotten moment in time.
Many have fallen, man is who I am.
I leave behind all that hinders
I have given up the ghost,
For it only gets in the way.
Seventy second chances are what I need
I know they are here for me.
V. 2
Through the hurt and the pain
You were there for me.
Pushing me to be a better me.
Like the one I adore with my tongue
But not with all of me.
Chorus
Leave this place behind,
A forgotten moment in time.
Many have fallen, man is who I am.
I leave behind all that hinders
I have given up the ghost,
For it only gets in the way.
Seventy second chances are what I need
I know they are here for me.
Bridge
Change is here, I feel You are near.
Lord your heart is what I need.
The past was then, this is now
Running forward toward your perfect ness,
Not towards the apparition of who I was.
A ghost I linger in the past,
Never to return to what I was
But to strive towards heaven above.

Christmas Eve
short little entry today.
one thing that was really cool today was when i was sitting in church i heard the guy behind me explaining to his kids what communion was. he said , "this is the body and this is the blood that Christ shed to save us." it was awesome.
also when me and mom were having a talk on the way home about how show hated here past i looked up at the satellite radio to see the song that was playing was relient k's "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been." it was pretty sweet.

Je......
Jesus. It is such a hard word for most people to say. Especially in public. Most people will re-word their sentences to downplay the words Jesus or God. I myself am guilty. But Jesus is a name that when the very thought of Him comes to mind you should want to say it, shout it! Jesus! Jesus! JESUS! All the glory and splendor that was rightfully his was abandoned because he wasn't afraid to cry out my name, Benjamin, Benjamin, BENJAMIN! He cried out your name. He cried out for all of us out of love. He could not fathom a single day with out you and left the most perfect thing in the universe. He went through total separation with God, he went through Hell. All to seek us and save us so that we may be with him. Have you ever thought about Mark 14:50 where it says, "And they all left him and fled." This is talking about his disciples right after he was arrested, yet he still cried out, " PETER! BARNABAS!" He even cried out "BARABBAS! JUDAS!" He doesn't care what you've done, whether you have fled from him or you have never even met him, he is right there calling out your name. Don't be afraid to answer.

Collapse
Verse 1:
on the beach, body collapses, eating itself from the inside out
bones are there, air is there, but no strength to move them
face fades into one of millions
in the alley, falling asleep, to an eternal dream,
no family, no friends, just a broken hope
face fades into one of millions
Pre-Chorus:
what is this cry, what is this pain, what is this hurt
a story lost in time
Chorus:
open your eyes, see the lies, see the truth
what does He require of you?
act justly, love mercy, walk humbly
Verse 2:
cold air, no clothes, burdens left alone
short time, quickly it passes, age five dies
face fades into one of millions
endless thoughts, wondering were the truth ever was
no evidence, must have been a lie
where is this love?
Pre-Chorus:
What is this cry, what is this pain, what is this hurt
a story lost in time
Chorus:
open your eyes, see the lies, see the truth
what does He require of you?
act justly, love mercy, walk humbly
take this unseen love, this eternal light,
this bread for the world,
move into action, feed the world
Bridge:
a humbled servant, love, the truth, the word, the bread,
died
spread it around, lift it up, share the blood
conquering death, connecting us
rise to your feet, feast on the bread, your soul,
your fill, never again shall you feel your hunger
on the beach, body collapses, eating itself from the inside out
bones are there, air is there, but no strength to move them
face fades into one of millions
in the alley, falling asleep, to an eternal dream,
no family, no friends, just a broken hope
face fades into one of millions
Pre-Chorus:
what is this cry, what is this pain, what is this hurt
a story lost in time
Chorus:
open your eyes, see the lies, see the truth
what does He require of you?

this bread for the world,
move into action, feed the world
Bridge:
a humbled servant, love, the truth, the word, the bread,
died
spread it around, lift it up, share the blood
conquering death, connecting us
rise to your feet, feast on the bread, your soul,
your fill, never again shall you feel your hunger

Well crap.
Do you ever fall in love with someone the moment you see them? Well ok, I didn't fall in love instantly and never did with this person. I just got to know them over these past 3 months or so, seeing them once a week and grew to like them. Now that I am transefering branches at work I most likely will never se her again. Sad isn't it? Today was my last day at Williamsburg Station and I was sad thinking I would miss everyone but also that I didn't get to see HER before I left. About quarter till twelve she walked in. I worked as fast as I could with the person I was with so that I could wait on her. I got to wait on her and talk to her one last time. Oh well, if anyone has any info on this mystery girl for me, let me know. hehe.

White guys CAN dance.
Ok, so for all of you who say white boys can't dance, here is some proof. I wish I could dance like these boys. I just think this is cool.

You Shut Me Off
You shut me off, and locked the door on me.
But I'll be waiting outside when you leave.
All that I can say is what I've said a million times before.
Those words, those words will never change.
And I will sing and I will scream but I can't make you hear me.
But I won't stop cause there's a chance you'll start listening.
Do you hear the music play.
Do you see the tears on my face.
The volume is dying, and like a sweet song everything will end.
You're caught up in rejecting the truth.
That you don't see the danger around you.
All that I can say is what I've said a million times before.
Those words, those words will never change. - Kids In The Way "The End"
I have always loved this song. I would sing it as I was driving and all that jazz but I never really listened to the words. Today as I was listening to them it hit me, this is the way the truth I live should be. When I talk to someone about the truth, about Christ, I shouldn't mention it and just leave it there. No matter what I will still be there offering you the truth. Whether it takes me 5 times to get you to realize the truth or 5000, I will be waiting outside when you leave.
Christians should want everyone in this world to experience the joy that they know and feel the love of God upon them. That doesn't mean mentioning it. That means always living it. I believe that when Kids In The Way sing that song that they are not just talking about verbally speaking, but rather speaking to the world through our actions. Through our love.
I have one person in particular in my life that I love that has not accepted Christ as his savior and I pray for him constantly. This song is my battle cry. I want to challenge you Christians who read this to do the same thing. Never back down.
