April 16th VT Lament

Here is a Lament that I wrote after I heard about the Virginia Tech Shooting. Sometimes the only way I can express what I feel is through lyrics. These are still rough but It's how I was feeling at the time. Be praying for the Virginia Tech families and for all those who were affected.

April 16, 2007 VT LAMENT

V1
The other day I heard about
How one life took another
I cried about the sheer amount
Of hatred toward each other

I asked myself why God would
Allow this thing to happen
I asked him then if he could
Help all of us who have fallen

Bridge
Our tears have tumbled from our eyes
Our hearts have crumbled for our demise
Now we need you God to intervene
Lord come now and do something

Chorus
When will you come?
And save us from this pain
When will you come?
Do we pray in vain?
For we need you now
To help us all forgive
We need you now
Lord come and help us live

V2
Who then shall separate us
From the love of Christ
Will trouble, danger or nakedness?
Or any other vice?

For I am convinced that nothing will
Separate us from Christ’s love
Not death or life, not angels or demons
For everything he is above

Bridge
We ask you now to bring us life
We ask you come and heal our lives
We know that you are surely alive
For you are our God help us to forgive

Chorus second time through
Lord now come
And save us from this pain
Lord now come
Our prayers are not in vain
For we know you will
Help us all forgive
We need your help now
So lord come help us live

Nashvegas Here I Come!

I just wanted to give praise to God for the awesome things he is doing in my life right now!!! He is overwhelming me with blessing after blessing...

My sister just got married to a great guy.

My dad just had his 24th anniversary of getting a Kidney transplant. (normally supposed to last 10 years max). Praise God!!

My mom and dad just celebrated their 56th birthdays and are both healthy.

My friend Rick and I got selected to write the Miss Oklahoma theme song, "Heart of the Heartland."

Rick and I also wrote 3 praise and worship songs and a song for mother's day together with the help of a 3rd writer (God)!

I am going to Nashville this summer to work with Brandon Scott Thomas the worship leader at Otter Creek!!

I am really looking forward to spending this summer with the people at OC. I don't know exactly what God has planned but I know I can't wait to see what it is. Be praying that God would guide me this summer and teach me what he wants me to learn.

Here's some lyrics I wrote the night after I found out about OC.

Overwhelmed
That’s what I am
Overwhelmed
At what you’ve done
Overwhelmed
You've saved this man
And Overwhelmed
I come

For you have
Overwhelmed my soul
And I am overcome
For the goodness that you’ve shown to me
I stand here now undone
My spirit stands here overflowing
For I am overcome

God you overwhelm me! - Ky
