When the day is closing in like the stars in the night;

I am falling into the pull of the earth and it's affection.
In me, oh Lord, can you create a pure heart

Because I'm afraid that I just might run back to the things I hate.

After talking to my mom today

I discovered something new about passion.

So many people have asked,

"Why not go into science?"

"Why not aim to be a doctor?"

"Why not apply for better universities?"

Why, why, why?

Frankly, these questions have been a struggle to my ego.

10 years from now I'll see many of you again

Some will be lawyers, others biochemists.

Some will be a CEO, others driving a Ferrari.

Me? I have a pretty good idea how rich I will be.

Truth is, I never imagined my future to be rich.

Thinking about the road I'm taking

I realized I cannot live without people.

I need to work with people;

I want to impact their lives directly.

There is something intriguing in each individual

Their stories, their experiences, their dreams.

I've never been so frank to myself or to others

But I'm writing this so that 10 years from now

I can be sure of this passion He's placed in me.

The passion that drives me.

No, this passion does not define me.

I'm made up of more than that.

I've never been a person of many big dreams,

After all, Tomorrow is the future we cannot completely grasp onto

And for many people

Living through each day is a gift itself - let alone Tomorrow.

Sometimes if you'll allow yourself to be an empty vessel,

You'll find that He can do so much more.

Give me dove's eyes...

Such easy words to say, yes and no.

How difficult it is for them to come out of our mouths.

What depth can these words mean?

I have no courage for such answers.

Two words, weighting heavy on my shoulders

Soon I'm going to find myself on my knees.

Be the song in my heart.

Be the melody in my joy.

I want to look right to You

In this burning furnace send me Your angel

Give me dove's eyes

An undistracted devotion

Delight in me Lover.

Nothing compares to being in Your presence.

The stars can't steal Your heart.

The mountains can't take Your eyes off me.

No You're ravished by my heart.

You call me beautiful.

You don't change.

Your love is not a feeling.

I've seen so much fickleness

Be my constant, my never changing.

Others see my weakness and they scorn me.

But my weakness has captured Your heart.

The loudest "I Love You" is heard on the cross.

There is no greater love.

Put this heart to rest and direct my steps.
