I'll Always Be

This one has received some very heavy editing, so when it's finished, I'll post it.

What I Need

This one is hot off the word processor (it just doesn't have the same ring, does it...?), I just finished it today.

What I Need by David Hynes 4.27.09 11:21 AM

There are some strange winds with stranger cries
Hidden truths mingled with bold lies
All of it meant to deceive
What do I want, what do I need?

I need you more than a friend
I want you to touch me again
I need you like never before
I want you to speak to me more
I need the lines that separate us to blur
I want my life to turn into yours

There are some moments that I despise
Distractions that hook me right by the eyes
Meant to throw me so I can't receive
What I want and what I need

Chorus again

You have brought a great deal of change
Since then I'm not quite the same
The Divine has somehow arranged
To be what I require, what I desire

The Rock

My God who who rocks alll the earth
Who can say what you're worth to me
My words are not ever enough
To convey the power you've worked in me

Christ my rock on which I stand
Once again you've broken me
The force that divorced me from your arms
Has been cast down at your feet

Christ the rock the builders laughed at
Silently endured the shame
And when at last three days had passed
He took us up to reign with him

At Last, There Is Peace

[composition completed]

There's a storm outside and you're sleeping within
Do you care for my life I ask and then, (you say)
You of little faith, why do you fear, why do you fear?
You of little faith, why do you fear, why do you fear? (I hear)

Let your striving cease, then at last, there is peace x4

The storm you're at peace in is the storm you can command
Even lost in darkness and miles from land
He who sees the waves and overcomes fear
To him the kingdom is very near

When he lets his striving cease, at last he has peace x4

Show me your storm, and I'll show you peace
Tell me your torment, and I'll make it cease
Know that in conflict, only I can
Make peace reign in the heart of man

Let your striving cease, then at last, there is peace x4

When you are caught in a violent sea
Lose yourself and find me
I mean it when I say no one can
Pluck you from the palm of my hand

Let your striving cease, I am your Prince of Peace x4

Your Dreams

[has yet to be put to music]

I dream like a peasant
And you dream like a king
I see some things
But you've seen everything

Still I try to hold on to what I know, I hold on to what I know

I dream of a hovel, you dream of a castle
That rests on the clouds in the sky
I dream of a garden, you dream of fields
Of color past where the horizon lies
I dream of a son you dream of children
Like stars in the sky

My dreams you will give me
If I ask in your name
But my dreams are not good enough
So
Show me your dreams
I'll make yours mine
And I'll lay mine at your feet
Only one outcome can be had in this lifetime
So let it not come from me

I dream of a road, you dream of a river
That that flows from a glorious throne
I dream of a dead man come to life
You dream of graves emptied worldwide
I dream of a nice place,
You dream of a city made of gold

My dreams you will give me
If I ask in your name
But my dreams are not good enough
So
Show me your dreams
I'll make yours mine
And I'll lay mine at your feet
Only one outcome can be had in this lifetime
So let it not come from me
Let it not come from me
Let it not come from me

Teach Me How to Fly

[musical composition incomplete]

I don't know where we're going God
But teach me how to fly
I don't care about what I'm not
Please teach me how to fly

I don't care about the rain out there
God, teach me how to fly
I don't want to spend my life laying stairs
God, teach me how to fly

Wherever we go, whatever we do
It doesn't matter, I'll fly with you
I'll rise like an eagle on wings of light
To behold a realm that transcends my sight

A dance with God in heaven beyond sky
Release from pain of, and a piercing cry
The sun outshone by glorious kings
Then it all pauses when another sings

I don't know where we're doing God
But teach me how to fly
I don't care about what I'm not
Please teach me how to fly

I don't care about the rain out there
God, teach me how to fly
I don't want to spend my life laying stairs
God teach me how to fly
