Call of Conformity

Wasting on the inside
The outside lies
Try to be more beautiful
In world's eyes
Conformity will take you
And wrap you in gold
With silvery fingers
You're jammed in the mold
The spirit is drowning
In gray moral seas
The structure collapsing
You're forced to your knees
"O come and bow!"
Beckons Idol of all
Bow to conformity
Join the Great Fall

Romans 12:2

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Conviction is taking
You're letting Him in
Conformity breaking
And now you begin
"Transform me! Transform me!"
You seek holy face
O come and adorn me
With thy endless grace!
Mind's eyes are opened
Renewing light streams
In tears of repentance
Out heart's fruitful beams

the good work

It's when I try not to let myself know
It's when my left hand asks the right
and no reply,
That there is glory finding a new home
at the feet of an emerald rainbow throne.


Do the good work, not so it is of you, but so it is done.

Like the earth misses rain

A light gray blanket covers the sky
soft and fuzzy, but I give a sigh
Missing the sun like the earth misses rain
like the earth misses rain

A soft bewilderment covers my eyes
but I've let go the need to know why
Waiting for you like rain waits for clouds
like the rain waits for clouds

Many strange thoughtstrings crowding my mind
though I disbelieve, you still pass by
Watching you now like the clouds watch the sun
like the clouds watch the sun

During periods of doubt, it is good to remember what the Lord has done
....
As I thought about the day
As I thought about the who
The who of who you are
My Lord that I’ve called friend
Since my hands were small as rose flowers
I thought about the days gone by
Those things already done
And I remembered a goodness
A glorious mercy
Reaching all throughout those days
Never quitting on a doubtful soul
Of mine
And always loving
...
I remember how I ask
And you give
How I pray
And you answer
How I doubt
And you don’t change
Ever-faithful Lord
I remember

As I dance in support of the International Justice Mission, I cling to the hope that God is using me as a messenger to change the hearts of onlookers
....
Feel my face in sadness
The people watch
And I can take them to a pain
To the suffering orphan
To the dust of Russia
In my face
I urge them
Come
And see what hurts them now

Feel my arms reaching
Muscles constricted
I reveal to them the cry
The beaten hearts of daughters
The blood-quenched soil of Africa
With my arms
I urge them
Come
And see what hurts them now

Feel my feet in power
Crushing chains of oppression
I will show them hope
Though smeared into the earth
Though torn from all liberty
With my feet
I urge them
Come
And hope with them now

It is easy to become prideful when you are on a stage with lights and audience. But to dance in humility is true worship
....
To dance
Is it for glory?
No
And then yes
For glory
Your’s alone

When you look up to someone, it gets hard to let their thoughts about you not change you. I should not change, in heartsong, for anyone but my Lord
....
Why do I hang on every word he says?
its making me frustrated
I don't want to be so attached
to another's thoughts
of me
For then it's not about awesome them
or awesome You
but about what Who has to say about
me me me
I want to Not hear him
or to hear something different
I want to not care
yet love him caringly
I want to be unattached to his thoughts of me
yet deeply attached to his thoughts of You
I want to think about Your e-mails
Your replys
not his
He is lovely
He is Your's
I am lovely
I am Your's
But you Lord
are lovliest of all
And all universe is Your's
I want to dwell on You
and hang on every word You say.
