Dedicated to A Friend Waiting for An Answer...

My Heart Goes Out To You
~Warren Barfield~

She sat a table away
Staring into space,
In her own little world.
And I saw a tear in her eye,
Like a window to the mind
Of a frightened little girl.

She never said a word,
But I know I clearly heard
A cry for help.
And I wanted to answer,
I wanted to tell her.

“My heart goes out to you.
You don't even know me,
You don't even know.
Oh, my heart goes out to you,
And I don't know what else to do
To reach you now.
My heart goes out.”

But I'm still glued to my chair.
And she's unaware.
There's little time.
And though my intentions are good,
If I'm misunderstood,
The price could be high.

I can't fix whatever's wrong,
But if I fail to pass along,
Someone cares.
The price could be greater;
This can't wait ‘til later.

“My heart goes out to you.
You don't even know me,
You don't even know.
Oh, my heart goes out to you,
And I don't know what else to do
To reach you now.
My heart goes out.”

Yeah.

For God has loved the world so much,
He sent His only Son
From Heaven to earth.

Well, there's a distance love covered,
She's just a table over.
All she needs is a shoulder.

“My heart goes out to you.
You don't even know me,
You don't even know.
Oh, my heart goes out.
Lord, help me do what I can do,
To reach her, to reach her?

Oh, my heart goes out to you.
You don't even know me,
You don't even know.
Oh, my heart goes out to you.
Let me do what I can do
To reach you now.
My heart goes out.”

Yeah.

One year...
We made it.
Finally.

God, how I love that child.

I can't even name all the times I was afraid we weren't gonna make it.
But we had faith in God.
And He pulled us through.
How I love you, God!
You are magnificent.

One more song, it's what I've wanted anyone to ever sing to me.
And I think I might use this for my "Share Your Music" project.
Yes, sure it's Backstreet Boys-ish.
But hey, I like the message.
And I like the lyrics.
And I like hearing it, singing along, knowing that I do have someone who will rescue me.
His name is Jesus.

Oh, wait... I have 2 people who'd rescue me.
The second?
...
I think we all know who it is.
^-^
Yay for my Joshua.
I love you, BiG PuNk.

I Will Rescue You
~Plus One~
When your days are dark and your nights are cold,
And you’ve just about lost all your faith;
When your will is gone and your heart is torn,
‘Cause nothing is going your way;
When the world has got you trapped and you can’t find that open door,
If you’re ever in a battle and you just can’t fight no more:

No, oh.

I will rescue you,
I will rescue you.
I will shelter you from the rain.
I will dry your tears,
Cast away your fears,
And bring you to brighter days.
Whenever you’re lost and confused,
Like a fairy tale come true,
I will rescue you.

Ooh, ooh.
If you ever fear that you can’t go on,
And you’re life just becomes too hard,
Too hard…
And the dreams you thought were within your reach,
Suddenly seem so far,
So far…
When the world on your case, and you don’t have a place to run,
If the storm keeps getting stronger and you cannot see the sun:

I will…

I will rescue you,
I will rescue you,
I will shelter you from the rain.
The rain…
I will dry your tears,
Cast away your fears,
And bring you to brighter days.
Whenever you’re lost and confused,
Confused…
Like a fairy tale come true,
I will rescue you.

And it don’t matter where you are,
I’ll be by your side.
I’ll be by your side, oh, yes I will.
I’ll be the rock that you can lean on,
I‘ll be your guide!
I‘ll be your guide!

Oh, whoa!

I will rescue you,
I will rescue you,
I will shelter you from the rain.
The rain…
I will dry your tears,
Cast away your fears,
Your fears…
And bring you to brighter days.
Brighter days…
Whenever you’re lost and confused,
Confused…
Like a fairy tale come true,
I will rescue you.

Ohh…

Just reach for me.
Reach for me.
Reach for me.

I will rescue you…

God, I love that song.
One year, over here.
Check it.

Catch'a on the flipside,
And yes, I do say that a lot; not because of Pancake,
~Hilary.
