Nothing Will Ever Quiet My Song

There will never come a day when I won't praise You.
There will never come a day when I won't sing.
And if the words get stuck inside, then I'll open my soul wide,
And songs of praise, my heart to Yours, I'll bring.

You've been there through my deepest, darkest the valleys.
You've been there when I've scaled the mountain peaks.
You were never far away.  You've been with me every day.
I'm held by You whether I feel strong or weak.

I am thankful for the promises You've given.
I'm thankful for the fire You walked me through.
Dear God, I choose You, too; though You chose me first, it's true.
Nothing will ever quiet my song for You.

When will I learn.

I believe in hope.
I hope in people.
I fall in love.
When will I learn.

I never stop trying,
And fighting for
The greatest good.
When will I learn.

I tried to will it,
But I tried too hard.
Maybe I killed it.
When will I learn.

My heart is broken,
But it still feels
Every single damn thing.
When will I learn.

It's safer to deeply give
Than to believe I can
Trust enough to receive.
When will I learn.

It's not really a question.
It's a self reflecting burn.
A pointless yearn.
When will I learn.
