me & love songs.

This is kind of pathetic, but I've been writing a love song.  I feel really Taylor Swift-ish and cheesy, but I dunno.  I was just laying in bed one night and it was like God just handed me lyrics.  And yes, it's about a real guy that I know that I like. So now you know. *takes deep breath* Here it goes.

The Kid With the Beautiful Eyes
By me, Anna.

I'm walking down the hall
When I look up to see
Those beautiful eyes
Smiling right at me
I force myself to grin
But I really wanna cry
'Cause I know the kid with the beautiful eyes will never be mine

He's confident, he's a gentleman
He's everything I've ever wanted
He's genuine, he's passionate
He makes me feel like I belong and
Everything'll be alright
He's the kid with the beautiful eyes

I wonder if he knows
All I really wanna say
Is "hi, hello, what's up?", ya know?
Or just a simple "hey"
His laugh is like a song
That gets stuck in my head
And I remember every conversation we've ever had

He's confident, he's a gentleman
He's everything I've ever wanted
He's genuine, he's passionate
He makes me feel like I belong and

He's good with kids, he doesn't quit
He keeps his chin up through it all and
He's unashamed, he knows my name
But he doesn't know how hard I'm fallin'
He just smiles and walks on by
He's the kid with the beautiful eyes

I've got a shoe box full of letters
And one of them's to you
Maybe one day you will read it
And then you'll see it, too

She's confident, she's innocent
She's everything you ever wanted
She's gentle and she's beautiful
She makes you feel like you belong and
She's been here all this time
She's the girl right in front of your eyes

I'm the girl right in front of your eyes

reaching for (original song)

Hey ya'll :) I'm already getting overwhelmed by school again, and it's only the first week! I have homework in six of the eight classes I'm taking. Blahhhh :( But the good news is that I have all weekend to finish it! Yay! I'm definitely ready for some rest and relaxation. So, being so busy with school, volleyball, and youth group, it's hard to keep my focus on the One who matters most. Jesus. And I'm working on a song about just that.

I'm walking down this road
Just trying not to stumble and fall
What means everything to me
Does it really matter at all?

I just don't know
where I'm going now...

I get so caught up in this world around me
And everything that's surrounding me
Reaching for more
I'm lost in this mess that we call life
And I can't seem to find
What I'm reaching for

Still walking down this road
And I keep falling down
But I get back up again
Get my feet back on the ground

Cause I'm just a girl
wanting something more...

I get so caught up in this world around me
And everything that's surrounding me
Reaching for more
I'm lost in this mess that we call life
And I can't seem to find
What I'm reaching for

Then You remind me
I'm not walking this road alone...

Now I'm lost in You, You're all around me
You're everything that's surrounding me
Love that is true
I'm giving You my hopes, my dreams
Cause You have set me free
And I'm reaching for You

the Jesus in me (original song)

Hey you guys! I think I posted the first verse and chorus to this song a long time ago...but now it's completely complete! Haha (: Anyways, be sure to comment and tell me what you think!

She's the life of the party
Blonde hair, blue eyes
She's the cheer captain, too
Like that's a suprise
When she walks down the hall
The guys are hypnotized

But I've got something, something she needs
I've got Jesus Christ

I might not look like
The cover of a magazine
I'm not perfect
So sometimes I just wanna scream
It's hard to remember in this society
That what makes me beautiful
Is the Jesus in me

Well time flew by
Now she's thirty-eight
She's had two kids
Another's on the way
Her youthful looks are gone
But she's got saving grace

So she's got beauty, beauty inside
She's got Jesus Christ

I might not look like
The cover of a magazine
I'm not perfect
So sometimes I just wanna scream
It's hard to remember in this society
That what makes me beautiful
Is the Jesus in me

Grandma, what were you like at fifteen
Were you popular, were you the prom queen
Did guys like you, what is it all about
I'm a freshman this year
I've gotta figure it out
She simply smiled and said oh, sweet girl
That won't help you find a place in this world
All you'll ever need is Jesus Christ
Give Him yourself, give Him your life

You might not look like
The cover of a magazine
You're not perfect
So sometimes you'll just wanna scream
Be sure to remember in everything you do
What makes you beautiful
Is the Jesus in you

Yeah, yeah...

We might not look like
The covers of magazines
We're not perfect
So sometimes we'll just wanna scream
We need to get out there and open up their eyes
Cause what makes us beautiful
Is Jesus Christ

national day of prayer.

Hey, ya'll! It's the National Day of Prayer...which is kinda a relief. They--meaning the government--tryed to cancel it. But since they didn't get to fully review the case (or something like that) it's still on. So pray for people. Even if it's just in general, you could be influencing someone, somewhere. There's so many people in the world that need Jesus. And that's what my new song's about. It's not completely finished, but I think it's a good start. But that's up to the public, now isn't it?

Hug Them Tight

There's a little girl crying in her room tonight
Hoping everything will turn out right
Hoping that her family doesn't fall to pieces
There's a teenage boy with lots of dreams
But he's got cancer he's only eighteen
All they really need, all they really need is Jesus

Chorus
Everybody's going through something
I don't know what, but I know Who
Can give them peace and show them love
With Him them they'll never lose
Why can't they see they're not alone
His arms are open, streched out wide
Welcoming them in
Ready to hug them tight

There's a single mom who's on her own
She's trying to make a house a home
For her two kids who are only two and three
There's a daddy who doesn't make enough
Can't pay the bills and times are tough
All they really need, all they really need is Jesus

Chorus
Everybody's going through something
I don't know what, but I know Who
Can give them peace and show them love
With Him they'll never lose
Why can't they see they're not alone
His arms are open, stretched out wide
Welcoming them in
Ready to hug them tight

Bridge
God's right there, loving them
Can't they see it's all Him?
He's the answer, He's the key
He's the one holding you and me

You might going through something
I don't know what, but I know Who
Will give you peace and show you love
You're the one who gets the choose
Will you run into His arms
Or face your fears, leave Him behind
He's welcoming you in
Ready to hug you...tonight

Blessings && smiles,
anna :)

the start of a song :)

Hey, girls! This is the start of a song I'm writing, and I wanna get your opinion on it. I only have the first verse and the chorus, but it will probably have another verse, and possibly a bridge. So here it is...

She's the life of the party
Blonde hair, blue eyes
She's the cheer captain, too
Like that's a surprise
When she walks down the hall
The guys are hypnotized

But I've got something, something she needs
I've got Jesus Christ

I might not look like
The cover of a magazine
I'm not perfect
So sometimes I just wanna scream
It's hard to remember
In this society
That what makes me beautiful
Is the Jesus in me

Be sure to leave a comment and tell me what ya think!

Thanks & blessings,
anna :)
