Their favorite targets are parades, sporting events and all other venues of operations where loud crowds are prone to gather. But that doesn't mean they couldn't...

Blessed Be the Restorer of His Saints
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty, Who delivereth His generals from the snares of the enemy. In their great fall, He forsook them not, But upheld them with His hand and called them once more. He is the Shepherd who leaves not His own, The Watchman who allows no harm to overtake His chosen. Blessed be His Word; Wise are all His...

Like David, I Dance Undignified For You God
I will dance before You, O Lord, Not with the steps of men, But with the fire of the Spirit burning in my bones. I will move without rhythm, I will leap without pattern, For my praise is not for show It is for You alone, my God and King. I will dance as one set free, As one who remembers the pit...

No More
He stares anywhere but my eyes But boys will be boys and he's just a guy I should smile and be happy Because it means he likes what he sees That's all that should matter to me I shouldn't be greedy Little girl, little girl You don't know much about the real world But little girls in this world learn faster and faster...

Away
Away away away Again I will say Away away away This is day after day Away away away I see blood dried on you I know you forgive me But when will you learn not to When will you learn to flee It's coming soon I see I don't want it to hurt that day These thoughts they plague me That is why I say Away away away Again...

She's Sick
Someone saw me crying the other day They didn't know me but asked if I was okay I sniffled and said someone I know is dying It's not perfectly true so I feel bad for lying It's not an old family member or a friend of mine But it's the me I used to know that's dying I can't get out...

Shambles
My life is in shambles Through the smiles and the rambles It all slips though my fingers I can't hold it yet it lingers To torture and to taunt My mind seems to flaunt All that I am not In the pit of my stomach it will rot As I fear all I am now Who I'll become and how Little me would be so...

Homesick
They say home is where the heart is But you have flown across an ocean You're something I'm blessed to miss We will make it through all of the commotion But when I come home, I'm never letting you go When you're back in my arms, I'll be home again I know A year from home is a lot, my dear I'm...

My Heart
There's a hole in my chest My heart's flown away My eyes tire from crying and crave rest The hole burns all day My world's gone sideways, now at a slant I am missing my heart But it stays with you while I can't The pain leaves a flavor sour and tart The feeling of a missing piece of me Burns less than that...

Some Day
My skin misses the feeling of your touch Your fingers trailing lines of love But we aren't as far as we seem I look up and it's the same sun you see above...

All of Me Misses You
My hand longs to hold yours once more My arms mourn the loss of your embrace My lips wait to kiss those they adore My mind plays images of your face My stomach lacks the butterflies That once ran rampant with you It's something with goodbyes They will do that to you Ever part of me knows something is gone I know you're far...

Time and Space
I bring you to a place Where between us Is time and space So far away Though I wish it not And always ahead a day This place is loud It's thunder claps It's screams in a crowd It's violent and bold It's waves crashing It's fire taking hold It's quiet and shape It's a dagger and a blade It's haunting notes on a harp It's thoughts screaming It's silence deafening It's...

Rather Loud
Silence is rather loud when you don't have people to fill it Thoughts are rather loud when you don't have people to hear it Emotions are rather loud when you don't have people to help it Pain is rather loud when you are alone, forced to feel it...
