The Guy

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang-up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat or will stay up and watch you sleep. Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're pretty without make-up. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you. The one who turns to his friends and says, "that's her."

And now we understand why our Lord so emphasized the sin of worrying. How can we be so unbelieving when God totally surrounds us? To be obsessed by God is to have an effective barricade against all the assaults of the enemy.

Table for Two

Danny and I spent anther late night over pancakes
Talkin' 'bout soccer and how every man's just the same.
We made speculation on the who's and the when's of our futures
And how everyone's lonely but still we just couldn't complain.

And how we just hate being alone
Could I have missed my only chance,
And now I'm just wasting my time
By lookin' around

But ya know I know better, I'm not gonna worry 'bout nothin'.
Cause if the birds and the flowers survive, then I'll make it okay.
And given a chance and a rock see which one breaks a window,
And see which one keeps me up all night and into the day.

Because I'm so scared of being alone that I forget what house I live in.
But it's not my job to wait by the phone
For her to call.

Well this day's been crazy
But everything's happened on schedule,
From the rain and the cold
To the drink that I spilled on my shirt.

'Cause You knew how You'd save me before I fell dead in the garden,
And You knew this day longbefore You made me out of dirt.

And You know the plans that You have for me
And You can't plan the end and not plan the means
And so I suppose I just need some peace,
Just to get me to sleep
