birfday

whelp... another year older. i'm now the ripe old age of 26. i had a pretty good birthday i suppose. i spent most of it at work until about 5 or so and then went with Asiah to Lonestar. my parents and her parents and brothers drove to meet us there. it was alot of fun. they made me stand on a chair while the whole restaurant sang happy birthday to me. you know me though, i just played along.
plus for my birthday, my lovely wife got me a tube preamp and a condenser mic because i want to start recoring some ideas soon. it was a total shocker, let me tell ya. she's so awesome! here's some pics of what i'm talking about. enjoy... i know i will...

a book on the shelf

sometimes i feel like i'm being wasted
like maybe i'm not doing enough to help
i wanna be used so bad
in such a powerful way
but i just sit here
pushed aside to be used another day
i feel like my tasks arent big enough
what i do or how i'm used
doesn't come remotely close to matching
the love that i have for you Lord
maybe i'm just wise in my own eyes
or great in my own perception
or useful by my own observations
but i'm anxious to be used
i want to do so much for you
out of my love for you
let every waking moment
be useful to building your kingdom
let every word i speak
bring a smile to your face
let every thought i have
be consumed by you
here am i
i refuse to be comfortable in complatency
or to be satisfied with inactivity
use my every breath
my every heartbeat
every second of my short life
to bring you glory

faithful


all the chisels i've dulled carving idols of stone
that have crumbled like sand neath the waves
i've recklessly built all my dreams in the sand
just to watch them all wash away
through another day, another trial,
another chance to reconcile to one who sees past all i see
and reaching out my weary hand i pray that you'd understand
you're the only one who's faithful to me

all the pennies i've wasted in my wishing well
i have thrown like stones to the sea
i've cast my lots, dropped my guard, searched aimlessly
for a faith to be faithful to me
through another day, another trial
another chance to reconcile to one who sees past all i see
and reaching out my weary hand i pray that you'd understand
you're the only one who's faithful to me

you're the only one who's faithful to me
