Caedmon's Call "LOVE ALONE"

No one would love me
if they knew all the things I hide
My words fall to the floor
As tears drip through the telephone line

And the hands I’ve seen raised to the sky
Not waving but drowning all this time
I'll try to build an ark that they need
To float to you upon the crystal sea

Chorus:
Give me your hand to hold
'Cause I can't stand to love alone
And love alone is not enough to hold us up
We've got to touch your robe
So swing your robe down low
Swing your robe down low

The prince of despair's been beaten
But the loser still fights
Death's on a long leash
Stealing my friends to the night

And everyone cries for the innocent
You say to love the guilty too
And I'm surrounded by suffering and sickness
So I'm working tearing back the roof

Repeat Chorus

And the pain of the world is a burden
And it's my cross to bear
And I stumble under all the weight
I know you're Simon standing there
And I know you're standing there

2010...new beginning?

Most people make new year resolutions, I find those faulty because within months of making those "resolutions" they are once again broken just like the past years.
What's the point in making promises to yourself that you know in your heart that are going to broken?
I know it probably sounds cliche but I'm ready for a new beginning and yes I know its at the beginning of a new year, why not start now? It happens to also be the day that I have felt the tapping of God hand on the door of my heart feeling convicted for the way I've been living my life and for the thoughts that have been going through my mind. The biggest word that stands out in my mind and heart right now is obedience. That's defintely the one thing that I haven't been towards God is obedient. The reason why it stands out to me so bluntly is the fact that we are working on obedience with Madyson. Teaching wrong from right and that she needs to obey mommy and daddy. How can I expect my child to obey me if I can't even obey my heavenly father?
Lord I ask that you will guide me the way that I need to go. Help me be obedient in your word and live everyday according to your will. I long to be more like you everyday.
