Music Randomness

So, a few weeks ago I have decided I wanted to sing in church. I talked to one of my good friends, and she said she would be able to sing with me. So that day we both wrote down a list of songs we like along with the artist. The next time we saw each other we gave each other our notes. We decided on a song that we are both familiar with. It is called Walk On Water and it is by Britt Nicole.

Our brothers have scouts every Monday night. So, we decided to practice while the boys were doing their own thing. It wasn't until a week and a half ago, that my friend's mom got the split track CD of the song we want to do. This is my very first song I am doing. So the first time we sang the song without Britt, I kept losing my timing. Now I am great on my timing, but I still need to work on my enunciation. Once we have this song down we are going to ask the music director of our church when we can sing it. I am going to try to ask someone to video us singing, so then I can put on here.

Monster-Skillet

Hi there!

I have been learning to play piano since last month or so. I am a big fan of Skillet. The other night I had a dream that I could play "Monster" on my piano. I woke up the next morning to tell my mom and she said that maybe I can, once I get good enough to play piano. I was really surprised when I found this video on You tube:

As I am

This another poem I wrote...

As I am


He came to me with scars on his wrist
Saying he can't go through this
I said "I can help you."
He said "There is nothing to do."
Trying to lift this pressure of your shoulders
He said "It's over."

Even though it feels like
We're slipping through life
He will help us get by
He will never leave your side
His footprints are left beside yours

Just tell me the person I was going to be, again
Just take me as I am

She came to me with a tear stained-face
Saying she lost her faith
He is calling your name
She says
"I know
He won't let me go
I'll give Him control
I'll let go of my dreams
I'll wait until He shows me
Who He wants me to be."

Can't you see this love that God gives
Even though it feels like you are slipping through His finger tips
He will always catch you
Now I can see without You, I can't make it through

Remind me the person I was going to be, again
Just take me as I am

Heartbeat

This is another poem I wrote.....

Heartbeat

These days are flying by fast
Just want to make this one life last
I want to give everything a chance
I want to make a stand
I want to make a change

Tell me that You love me
One more time
So I could know that this is not a dream
Don't want to feel this pain tonight
When You look through me
You see
My heartbeat

Giving You all that is within
Going to keep on going
Even when I am broken
These tears are falling
Not going to stop following
My dreams
For You are for me

Tell me that You love me
One more time
So I could know that this is not a dream
Don't want to feel this pain tonight
When You look through me
You see
My heartbeat

Forever

As you know in my recent post, Forgiven, I have doubted God. The day after I found Him again, I wrote this poem.

Forever

I thought I was on the right track
Never thought I would slip from Your grip
Never thought I would fall back

But here I am crying out
Soaking my pillow
I feel the urge to shout
"I need You now!"

Now I know that You love me without regrets
And there is nothing I can do to make You love me less
Trying to get out of this mess
I know that You will love me, forever.

Now I've found my way back to You
I give You all my worries, dreams, and fears
I, now, live my life for You
You wipe away my tears

Now I know that You love me without regrets
And there is nothing I can do to make You love me less
Trying to get out of this mess
I know that You will love me, forever.

Show me what I will be
When I grow up
You know my dreams
Never going to give up

Lord, whatever it is
Show me
Never going to get enough of this
Love You give to me

-Alli
