(another) lovestory

Another sad movie
another wonderful lovestory
another time they're together
this moment seems to last forever

You know sometimes I just can't stay
because my dreams take me away
and then my heart cries
for being loved
and for losing any doubt

Another time I'm in love
another man I'm dreaming of
another day I feel I could fly
it is because you make me smile

du bist

Du bist mein Hirte, Herr,
was soll mir passieren?
Jeden Tag führst du mich,
erhälst mich am Leben.
Auch wenn es mir schlecht geht,
weiß ich doch: du bist da.
Wie ein Schaf trägst du mich,
in deinem Arm bin ich sicher.

Und so geb' ich dir mein Leben,
geb' dir alles, was ich bin.
Jeden Atemzug, jeden Augenblick
leg' ich in deine Hand.

Du bist der Weinstock, Herr,
an dem ich hänge.
Du flößt mir alles ein,
was ich zum Leben brauch.
Fiele ich von dir ab,
so wäre das mein Tod.
Darum klamm're ich mich an dich,
weil ich weiß: durch dich schlägt mein Herz.

Du bist mein Vater, Herr,
voller Liebe für mich, dein Kind.
Zu dir renne ich und darf rufen:
Papa, hier bin ich.
Du hast mich erschaffen, Vater,
du kennst mich durch und durch.
Du hast mich erlöst durch dein Blut,
deine Gnade ist so unbegreiflich.

Under that big tree

Under that big tree
all your colours shine that bright,
and by that big tree
you can finally delight.
There you close your mind
all the questions simply fade.
And you open your heart
it's like a serenade.

Here you are
only yourself
nothing else matters no more.
And I look
into your eyes
and I can find you there.
Birds fly high
you take off with them
like to neverland.
Man of colours,
dreaming of
happiness.

Under that big tree
a lovely house will be your own.
And by that big tree
you'll build a fence of stone.
And you're taking care
of all the cows out on your lane,
not making efforts anymore
not even to blame yourself.

There's only one thing that I
wish I could tell you though.
Open your life to god
and he'll make it become true.

Then you'll be...

In touch with Jesus

1 I want to see Your beauty, Lord
I want to see You face to face
I want to follow the instructions of Your eyes

I want to hear Your lovely voice
I want to hear You calling me
I want to listen to everything You say

2 I want to smell Your precious fragrance
I want to smell Your dwelling place
I want to breathe the breath that is my life

I want to taste Your fruits of mercy
please touch my tongue with Your burning truth
and make me tell 'bout Your unfailing love

3 I want to feel Your holy presence
I want to feel Your warm embrace
please touch my heart with Your eternal fire

I want to rest in Your strong arms
please hold me tight my father God
You are my bridegroom, the everything I need

I appreciate You, Lord,
and I glorify Your name
I want to get to know You,
my hear is crying out

to be in touch with Jesus, in touch with Jesus, in touch with Jesus
- the breath of my life
in touch with Jesus, in touch with Jesus, in touch with Jesus
- the blood in my veins

aeroplane thoughts

O beauty of thy endless sky
blue touching white.
O pureness of thy shimmering light
here, way up high.

In innocence thy colours rest
dancing so quiet.
All earthly things are out of sight
not one request.

And underneath thy veil of light
the human race
which misses still the chance to face
thy beauty's height.

I wish I could just stay in this
ocean of white.
If only I could safely hide
in thy blue kiss.

If you never stood in my shoes

If you never stood in my shoes,
if you never joined my life one day,
if you never felt all my blues,
if you never ran with me away.

If you've never been by my side
all days of one of my week,
if you never watched me in the night,
if you never knew anything 'bout my needs.

then this is what I'm asking you
to please don't stand in my way
'cause this is me and it's not you.
so this is what I'm asking you
to have a little respect for what I do,
'cause you are not in my shoes.

And if you never made me laughing,
if you've never seen me crying my way,
if you never felt my passion and my caring,
if you've never listened to what I say.

If you didn't see me writing this song,
if you never ever opened your arms
to carry me home when I was wrong,
if you never felt how Jesus comes.

And if tomorrow the world may crash down,
then please remind to all the things I've done wrong.
But 'til that day you'll have to understand
that it is not your responsibility
to critisize me
but to take the log out of your own eye first.

Take me away

Take me away 'cause I wanna be
where the wind blows the sea
and the clouds are breaking free.
Take me away and then let me be
where the sky meets the sea
so endlessly.

I've seen and believe that true love still exists
and it's been waiting for me all the time.
I finally found my man, he's more than a dream
and now I can't stop falling in love.

It was like a movie scene - our first rendezvous
though people like us won't meet in hotels.
We felt this connection and dared to be true
becoming braves we would never regret.

It was just two hours but then I couldn't forget you
and the way you were holding me so tight.
Now you are my love, my future, my man.
Life's not just dreaming but living your dream!

Broken Wings

I never felt this way before, I am empty, weak and helpless.
You are so strong, You even move the planets.
Compared to You I’m nothing true and Your presence overwhelms me.
You are amazing, wonderful, omnipotent and holy.

For this is me,
down on my knees,
with broken wings,
because I thought my faith could fly.
Well, nothing stays
except your grace
And so I hold on to Your promise,
that Your love will never end.

I surrender, I surrender, I surrender.

That’s why I ask for a second chance just to get to know more clearly
what life’s about, what faith’s about – who are You?
On one side I gotta manage my whole life, my plans, my future.
The other side’s I can’t because I do depent on You.

patience

You are there and I am here
there’s so much I need to say
but I can’t.
I wish that you could come to me
take my hand, kiss me good night
but you can’t.

I’d like to go there and I
I’d like to run to where you are
Only to look into your lovely eyes.
I’d like to fall into the sky
and meet you there every night
But the only thing I can is

Be patient,
have patience little heart
every day
and on and on
Be patient my heart,
keep patient little soul
- may god help us to be.

You are there and I am here
more than thousand miles away
I don’t understand.
Sometimes my thoughts just slip away
dreaming of how life will be
with you someday.

I’d like to go there and I
I’d like to run to where we’ll be
Only to see all our happiness.
I’d like to fall into the sky
and meet you there every night
But the only thing I can is

Be patient,
have patience little heart
every day
and on and on
Be patient my heart,
keep patient little soul
- may god help us to be.

Sometimes I wonder what might happen next and where we’re gonna stay
Sometimes I wonder how we could go on like this just every day
Sometimes I wonder how it works that nothing ever changes
Except our love that ever grows.

best friend

When I hear your voice, it's morning.

When I see your face, I’m smiling.

When the sun goes down, my thoughts are with you.

When I’m lost inside, you will carry me through.

Thank you for being, for being my best friend.
It’s so nice that you always, you always hold my hand.

Thank you for being and for being my best friend.

It’s good to know that you’re always, you’re always with me in the end.

Mh - best friend.

You are the one, who truly knows me.

When I am down, we go for a coffee.

We stay there talking from hour to hour

You never don’t have time, you’d even skip you shower.

I guess that today is the day to finally tell you

That you’re to me of never ending, wonderful, precious and great value.

So now I ask you to listen carefully to what I comprehend

I will be for you what you are for me and have been, eternally:

Mh - The best friend.

(dedicated to Miri)

wonderful and never ending

Wonderful, never ending love.

Wonderful, never ending hope.

Sometimes when my dreams are fading all away,

you keep me going on.

Sometimes when I don’t know where to turn and when,

you always stand by me.

So here I stand in your shadow, o Lord.

You keep me safe and sound.

And here I fall into your mercy, o Lord.

You set me free, never ending one.

Wonderful, never ending grace.

Wonderful, never ending peace.

Sometimes when I fear that failing is my lot,

you love me as I’m losing.

Sometimes when I think that my life’s not enough,

you love me as I am.
