God plans for us – Fear + Obedience + Trust = Prosperity
We have to believe that for the task that God gives us, he has given us the resources and the ability to actually do it. He NEVER gives us more than we can handle. We just need to get over our fear of it and believe and trust in God. God always goes before us, he orders our steps, and he always backs us up when we are in trouble. He is the beginning and the end of all, which means he is in the beginning and end of all we go through too. Sometimes we have to go through trials to be tested and taught a lesson. And the pain we sometimes experience in the lessons we learn will be greater than the pain we go through while we endure the actual test.
Isaiah 66:7…9 (new century version)
7 “A woman does not give birth before she feels the pain:
She does not give birth to a son before the pain starts.”
9 “In the same way I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born,” says the Lord.
“If I cause the pain, I will not stop you from giving birth to your new nation.” Says your God
David’s life is my favourite story in the bible regarding facing fear and true obedience. In his youth he truly trusted God in all areas of his life. I love reading about his battle with Goliath (1 Samuel 17). David had every reason in the world to be fearful of this 9 foot tall giant. But God had put him through the test as a shepherd. We need to speak it and declare it. We need to literally speak to our fears and speak out passionately to the people, situations, feelings and emotions that want to put fear and negativity in us.
1 Samuel 17:32 (the message)
“Master,” said David, “don’t give up hope. I’m ready to go and fight this Philistine.”
Saul answered David, “You can’t go and fight this Philistine. You’re too young and inexperienced – and he’s been at this fighting business since before you were born.”
David said, “I’ve been a shepherd, tending sheep for my father. Whenever a lion or bear came and took a lamb from the flock, I’d go after it, knock it down and rescue the lamb. If it turned on me, I’d grab it by the throat, wring it’s neck, and kill it. Lion or bear, it made no difference – I killed it. And I’ll do the same to this Philistine pig who is taunting the troops of God-Alive. God, who delivered me from the teeth of the lion and the claws of the bear, will deliver me from this Philistine.”
Not only did David learn lessons how to complete the task at hand from his past trials, he also learned that God has his back no matter what. Whatever we are going through right now it is teaching us how to TRUST in God. Don’t you notice through our relationship with God grows, our tasks and trials seem to get bigger and bigger. He always pushes us to OUR limit and is there to walk us through. David spoke out against King Saul who said he couldn’t do it. David spoke it! He spoke past experiences that God brought him through; he also spoke (and believed) the promise that God would bring him through safely. We can have the same strength and positive outlook. We just need to trust God!
1 Samuel 17:37 (the message)
Saul said “Go. And God help you!”
Then Saul outfitted David as a soldier in armor. He put his bronze helmet on his head and belted his sword on him over the armor. David tried to walk but he could hardly budge.
David told Saul, “I can’t even move with all this stuff on me. I’m not used to this.” And he took it all off.
Then David took his shepherd’s staff, selected five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the pocket of his shepherd’s pack, and with his sling in his hand approached Goliath.
We need to be ourselves. We need to work with what God has given us even if it doesn’t seem enough to our earthly eyes. To us having armor and a sword seems like the more logical answer to fighting a giant than a slingshot and a stone, but God gives us the ability and the resources that are specific to our personalities, God Loves us and knows us better than we know ourselves. We just need to trust in the abilities that God gave us and most importantly trust in him. Again he never gives us more than we can bear. And he’s always there with the resources to teach us to gain the experience that we need to persevere on. Push forward!
Exodus 4:10-12 (new century version)
But then Moses said to the Lord, “Please Lord, I have never been a skilled speaker. Even now, after talking to you, I cannot speak well. I speak slowly and can’t find the best words.”
Then the Lord said to him, “who made a person’s mouth? And who makes someone deaf or not able to speak? Or who gives a person sight or blindness? It is I, the Lord. NOW GO! I will help you speak and I will teach you what to say.”
GURL SPEAK IT!! ANSWER THE GIANTS SET BEFORE US!! We need to speak against all giants in our lives; negative people, fear, doubt, situations and spiritual attacks (no weapon used against you will defeat you – Isaiah 54:17ncv) When people, emotions, thoughts or situations tell you that you can’t do something that you know in your soul that God has put this in your heart to do, you need to respond, and not with a meek and mild response but yell back at it, shake it up let them know you mean business. You’ve got God on your side and he won’t let you down. Hold on to that promise! Live by faith and not by sight!!!
1 Samuel 17:41-47 (the message)
As the Philistine paced back and forth, his shield bearer in front of him, he noticed David. He took one looked down on him and sneered – a mere youngster, apple-cheeked and peach-fuzzed.
The Philistine ridiculed David. “Am I a dog that you come after me with a stick?” and he cursed him by his gods.
“Come on,” said the Philistine. ‘I’ll make road kill of you for the buzzards. I’ll turn you into a tasty morsel for the field mice.”
David answered, “you come at me with sword and spear and battle-ax. I come at you in the name of God-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel’s troops, whom you curse and mock. This very day God is handling you over to me. I am about to kill you, cut of your head, and serve up your body and the bodies of your Philistine buddies to the crows and coyotes. The whole earth will know that there’s an extraordinary God in Israel. And everyone gathered here will learn that God doesn’t save by means of sword or spear. The battle belongs to God-he’s handing you to us on a platter!”
Not only do we need to speak it, but we need to have a clear vision of the future. We need to know where we are going and what we are going to do when we get there. We need to see what God has planned for us. Once we can see it clearly we will have even more faith to believe! (Habakkuk 2:2-4 (ncv) The Lord answered me: “write down the vision; write it down clearly on clay tablets so whoever reads it can run to tell others. It is not yet time for the message to come true, but that time is coming soon; the message will come true. It may seem like a long time, but be patient and wait for it, because it will surely come; it will not be delayed. The evil nation is very proud of itself; it is not living, as it should. But those who are right with God will live by faith.”)
See it! Write it! Speak it! Believe it!
1 Samuel 17:48-50 (the message)
That roused the Philistine, and he started toward David. David took off from the front line, running toward the Philistine. David reached into his pocket for a stone, slung it, and hit the Philistine hard in the forehead, embedding the stone deeply.
The Philistine crashed, facedown in the dirt.
That’s how David beat the Philistine- with a sling and a stone. He hit him and killed him. No sword for David!
The reason this portion of David’s life is my favourite is because of that one line David took off from the front line, running toward the Philistine. Like seriously crazy! Imagine a 9-foot giant standing in front of you and wanting to kill you. Would you have enough faith that God will pull you through? David did, and not only did he believe enough to go fight him. He believed God’s promise so much that he ran off as fast as he could, couldn’t wait to get to him. He put his game face on and took on the challenge with all his might. I swear every time I read that line something stirs inside of me. I feel like I want to jump up and fight someone.
We need to start looking at the fears and roadblocks in our lives and take them on with gusto. We need to remember and believe the promises that God has given to us. The best source is the word! Here are a few passages that have helped me through the past few months of moving here to Florida. I’ve clung onto them when I am discouraged or afraid. God speaks to us so speak back! He’ll work it out. His plans are so great for you…
Listen to that still small voice that is telling you:
“I have greater plans for you, you will be bigger and better than you can ever imagine!”
I hear that every day and I chose to believe it… and SO SHOULD YOU!
God knows us like no other and he has plans for us that are unimaginable. We need to trust God and hold onto his promise of guidance:
Deuteronomy 10:9
Exodus 33:14
Psalms 25
Psalms 32:8-9
Psalms 86:11-12
Psalms 139
Isaiah 43:18
Isaiah 54
Isaiah 61
Jeremiah 1:4-10
Jeremiah 29:11-14
Hebrews 10:36
Hebrews 12 1:3
God has not given us a spirit of fear, so we need to grasp onto his promise of protection and provision:
Deuteronomy 9:1-3
Exodus 23:20-23
Pslams 23
Psalms 40:1-3
Psalms 91
Isaiah 41:10
Isaiah 41: 17-20
Isaiah 43:1-3
Isaiah 44:1-3
Matthew 6:25-34
Matthew 7:7
1 John 4:4
Luke 9:23
Luke 9:62
Luke 11:9-11
2 Thessalonians 3:3-5
God teaches us through trials and tribulations hold onto the promise that there is a reason for the season:
Deuteronomy 8
James 1
Isaiah 30:19-21
Isaiah 48:10
Isaiah 49:16
Isaiah 52:1-3

Believing the Promises of God
So it’s been a while since I’ve been able to write. God has been doing some amazing things in my life. We hear it all the time that we just need to take the first step in faith and God will do the rest. In my life he has. There are some good verses that I had been holding on to the entire time, in all of the different stages of this transition. My favourites being Rev 3:7 When he opens a door no one can close it. And when he closes it, no one can open it. I know what you do, I have put an open door before you, which no one can close. I know you have little strength but you have obeyed my teaching and were not afraid to speak my name. Another verse that God reminded me of this morning is Philippians 1:6 God began doing a good work in you, and I am sure he will continue it until it is finished when Jesus Christ comes again.
As I look back over the past two months it has been really up and down, my own personal Spiritual roller coaster ride. There were many hurdles in my way, many fears I had to over come and just as many good times and happiness. But somehow we focus more on the dips than the peaks. I found a passage today that finally pushed me to write this well overdue (and am afraid VERY long) blog. It’s from a devotional in my bible
We all have “giants” in our lives – Those difficulties that steal life from us and keep us from moving forward. God wants to help us conquer them. Remember, nothing is impossible for him. Take some time to pray about the situation you’re struggling with. Picture God obliterating that giant. If you’ve been saying “God, look how big my giant is.” Try changing your perspective and start saying, “Hey giant, look how big my God is!”
Speaking of giants….
My move to Florida has been a long process and I feel like I am still transitioning into my new life. I am waiting upon God for the promises of provision that he has given me. As each one reveals itself to me I am just amazed at what God has done and is continuing to do. I am slowly starting to find my reason my purpose for being here. But I feel that it’s just the tip of the iceberg. I am feeling a stirring in my soul of things I want to accomplish, things that I want to do. These things I don’t know how to do but I am waiting on God to bring clarity into the situation.
My first day of packing up my apartment a few weeks before I was to leave, I remember as clear as day I was in my kitchen filling boxes and my mind started buzzing. I started to get overwhelmed; it had finally hit me that I was moving. I was giving away my dog, I was giving away a ton of my belongings to complete strangers, I felt like I was giving away my life. God was purging my life! And that my friend is one of the scariest, overwhelming feelings I have ever experienced to this day. I literally had to take a step back to catch my breath. And I said to myself “what am I doing?” At that moment I was listening to Shekinah Glory Ministires (Life altering CD btw) and the song “Yes” was playing and these were the lyrics that answered my question “what am I doing?”:
He’s calling you higher
Don’t be afraid
don’t be afraid of men and their faces
Don’t be afraid, Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid,
he said I’m calling you out of your dry places,
I’m calling you out of your dry places,
come on up a little higher, come on up a little higher,
come on up a little higher, higher, higher,
I’m calling you,
I predestined you before the world began to do my will,
to do my will,
He’s calling you higher, he’s calling you, he’s calling you,
As I write this it still brings tears to my eyes at how absolutely amazing God is and is always there to calm our fears, he NEVER gives us anything that we can’t handle and when he pushes us to our limits he is always there to back us up and give us the support that we need to push on, move forward, to do his will.
Leaving Chicago was easier than I thought it would be. Obviously the hardest part was saying good-bye to dearly loved friends. But even in that it wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. Because I know in my heart of hearts that friends are friends no matter where you are and I know I will see everyone again even if it’s not here, as we know it. During this time God kept giving me passages to encourage me. To get my blood pumping and to get hyped for all of the goodness that he is going to bring my way. (Jeremiah 29:11-14 …”I know what I am planning for you,” says the Lord. “I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future. Then you will call my name. You will come to me and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will search for me. And when you search for me with all your heart, you will find me! I will let you find me.” Says the Lord. “And I will bring you back from captivity…”) (Isaiah 66:9 “In the same way I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born, “says the Lord. “If I cause you the pain, I will not stop you from giving birth to your new nation.” Says your God.)
God was also using my pastor to speak to me very loudly. It seemed that all the sermons I had been hearing at that time were about vision, new seasons and moving forward. I really felt like the Holy Spirit had written each one for me. The one that really stands out by Pastor Kent was “Life is more fun when you enjoy the Journey” the last point he made was titled “Answer discouragement” Talking about faith and being so strong in your faith and KNOWING that God is going to fulfill all his promises! He was talking about David and Goliath (you all know the story) In 1 Samuel 17:48 is says that David took off running towards Goliath. Can you imagine that? Having so much faith in God that you actually run towards your fears with confidence. Knowing that you have God on your side and he WILL fulfill his promise to bring you through. Those few words stirred something deep within me! Man God is so good!
My time at home in London (Ontario, Canada) was both good and bad too. I spent some amazing time with family. I got to catch up with old friends and made some new ones. I had some revelation, some time spent in a mirror looking at the person I used to be and in some ways still had inside me. I also could see who I wanted to be. The hardest night I had was a night were I had driven around London, we seemed to pass by so many old spots that held such painful memories from my past. Each place hit me like a prizefighter punching me. Beating me down, I had been so busy that week that I had put my face time with God on the back burner, which opened me up to all sorts of spiritual attacks. By the end of the night I had started to beat myself up for the person I used to be. Once I got home I quickly emailed my girls to ask for prayer. But by the end of the email God had answered my prayer and turned the situation around to give me hope and empower me to move forward. By telling me that this night was not a night to break me down but to build me up. He changed my perspective on it and yes, I did see where I was in the past, but now look at who I’ve become, who I’ve become in Christ Jesus. (Romans 6:12 So do not let sin control your life here on earth. So that you do what your sinful self wants to do. Do not offer the parts of your body to serve in sin, as things to be used in doing evil. Instead offer yourselves to God as people who have died and now live. Offer the parts of your body to God to be used in doing good. Sin will not be your master because you are not under law but under God’s grace.) Amen to that!
I must say I’ve been feeling the favour of God as soon as my trip started. From small insignificant things (like not having to pay the fee at the airport for having a bag 11 lbs over the weight limit due to a credit card machine malfunction and my bus getting through customs at the border with no difficulty) to life altering gifts (a great place to stay with a great family who have taken me in as their own and a really good job that will completely suit all my needs and more).
It has not been 100% fun though. Nighttime was the worst, being in a new house all by myself (because my new roommate was out of town for the weekend) was so scary. Ocala is so full of nature and is SO quiet and dark compared to Chicago. I was completely freaking myself out. The first night I turned on a movie and slept on the couch telling myself that things would be all better in the morning. The second night I knew better. Instead of letting a movie console me I took my fear to God and he lead me to his promise in Psalm 91 Those who go to God Most High for safety will be protected by the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “you are my place of safety and protection. You are my God and I trust you.” God will save you from hidden traps and from deadly diseases. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you can hide. His truth will be your shield and protection. You will not fear any danger by night or an arrow during the day. You will not be afraid of diseases that come in the dark or sickness that strikes at noon. At your side one thousand people may die, or even ten thousand right beside you, but you will not be hurt. You will only watch and see the wicked punished. The Lord is your protection; you have made God Most High your place of safety. Nothing bad will happen to you; no disaster will come to your home. He has put his angels in charge of you to watch over you wherever you go. They will catch you in their hands so that you will not hit your foot on a rock. You will walk on lions and cobras; you will step on strong lions and snakes. The Lord says, “Whoever loves me, I will save. I will protect those who know me. They will call to me, and I will answer them. I will be with them in trouble; I will rescue them and honour them. I will give them a long, full life, and they will see how I can save.” Wow I just love that last line.
So like I said feel like God has been spoiling me here with wonderful blessings. I had been driving around on Saturday with the windows open wearing shorts and a tank top, feeling the hot sun on my pasty white skin, and absolutely loving the weather. I was thinking about my new job and how it was even more perfect than I could have imagined it and I was so excited to start it. Then, I started to question it and I was beginning to plan out scenarios in my head of how things would go wrong and how my life would be foiled. Simply believing that all of this good and happiness that I was feeling could not last forever and somehow I didn’t deserve it. The next morning I got ready and went to church where in the middle of his message. The pastor said that he felt like there was someone there that needed to hear “The blessings of God are for you!” And yet again, God was right there waiting with his answers. The more that I grow close to God the more I am hearing him speak to me, the more I realize how real God is, and how intimate our relationship can be.
So now I am waiting on God to bring the rest of his provisions (like desperately needing a car here), his plans, his purposes upon me and they slowly are unfolding. I was listening to that song “Yes” again and the Holy Spirit has used this song in so many ways to speak to me:
Will your spirit still say yes,
There is more that I require of thee,
will your heart and soul say yes.
I feel like God is basically telling me “Hey… I’m not done with you yet. I still have hard things to come, are you up for it?” and with an open and willing heart I say yes! I am so excited to see what is to come and who he brings into my life. Sorry this one was so long, there was just so much to say! And if you can believe it these were just the really good things that he has been doing, there are so many many more that I don’t have the time to write about.
Be blessed, Love you!

Have finally reached the Freak out portion of the show!
So I woke up last night at 2:30 in the morning and all these thoughts were running through my head. Fears of the unknown, financial fear (today was my last day of work and I'm not too sure when my next pay cheque will be rolling in), fears of loneliness and anything other fear that you could possibly dream of when you are moving across country all by yourself. Then old thoughts started running through my head. Things that I used to deal with. It's so crazy how once you open yourself up an inch to the evils of this world they take a mile like the fast and the furious! I remember just laying there tossing and turning and praying to God that he just take those fears and thoughts away. It was hard because for some strange reason I wanted to hold onto the fear but I reluctantly handed them over to God.
Man I don't understand how I used to make it through life without the security of God having my back and being their to simply give all my fears and doubts to. I woke up this morning feeling a little better, my faith had been restored by the light of day (funny how things always seem worse in the middle of the night). And within the first hour of my day God gave me 3 verses and an encouraging message:
1) Mark 6:50...Jesus spoke to them and said, "Have courage! It is I. Do not be afraid."
2) Isaiah 41:10 So don't worry, because I am with you. Don't be afraid, because I am your God.
I will make you strong and will help you; I will support you with my right hand that saves you.
3)Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ, because he gives me strength.
Live on the Edge
Fear or faith. Which is stronger in your life? Allowing fear to control your life is a prison. Allowing faith to control your life is an adventure.
God has plans for you that will totally stretch you out of your comfort zone - plans that may even make you feel super freaked out at times. If you allow fear to control your choices, playing it safe instead of trusting God, you'll miss out on amazing opportunities. But if you trust in a big God and decide to risk living on the edge with him, you'll accomplish the things you never dreamed possible.
Begin identifying things that rattle your world - failure, rejections, being alone, getting sick, being treated harshly, speaking infront of people, getting hurt physically or emotionally, trusting God with your future, missing out, or sharing your faith. Next, replace fear. Next, memorize Phil 4:13 and Isaiah 41:10. Repeat them each time you come to a challenge that seems too hard. Also, make a list of the times God helped you through tough spots and ask really committed believers to tell you about situations when God helped them through fearful events.
Faith isn't the absence of fear - it's the courage to overcome fear because you believe in a big God! So relax and believe that something you can't see yet will happen - an awesome faith adventure where there's no room for fear.
So how utterly amazing is that! Thank you God for answering my cries, time after time! Until the next major freak out... ahem... in like 2 hours :)

New Season
I woke up this morning, this is my last week in Chicago, 5 more days of city life as I know it! I was reflecting upon my life and the new life I am about to begin. Which made me take a look into my past. Its so amazing how God plans are so intricate and full of purpose. He knows everything about us, where we will go and what we will do (Psalms 139 (the passage is at the bottom)). I am so excited to see how my book turns out.
I have such an adventure coming up in my life. I was thinking about how easy this move/transition in Florida is turning out which totally solidifies that THIS IS A GOD THING! Everything was set in place I just needed to walk into it. (Rev 3:7-8 ...When he opens a door, no one can close it. And when he closes it, no one can open it. 8 I know what you do. I have put an open door before you, which no one can close. I know you have little strength, but you have obeyed my teaching and were not afraid to speak my name.) God's plan for us is really like an automatic door, you know the ones when you go into a grocery store? All you need to do is take a step in the right direction, put a little weight (faith) on the mat and the door opens. That's all God needs from us a little faith. When you have faith in God and realize what his plans are for our lives and we takes those steps towards that a whole new world will open up with ease. God is just waiting for us.
As I am taking on this new season in my life I imagine God sitting up in heaven with his eyes on me, patiently waiting with excitement for me to take each step that he has ordered for my life. Like a loving parent on Christmas who is so excited to watch their child open up all the gifts that they have taken the time and the thought to pick out.
I can't wait until I can sit down in the midst of all the crumpled wrapping paper and look back on a full life of God's wonderful gifts and see how they all mapped together. The good and the bad: The friends I will have made, the places I will have seen, the experiences I will have experienced, the tears I will have cried, and the laughs that will have bellowed from my belly. This move to Florida, this season, this precious gift I am about to open I believe is going to be the start of something. I have just gone through a season of purging: things, people and habits. Not that they were all bad, some of them were really good for that particular time in my life. But I feel I am ready for my new life, I really feel like I have gone through a re-birth a long gestation period and some birthing pains. (Isaiah 66:9 "In the same way I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born," says the Lord. "If I cause you the pain, I will not stop you from giving birth to your new nation," says your God). WHOOOOOW... God I am ready for my new nation!!!Psalm 139
God Knows Everything
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 Lord, you have examined me
and know all about me.
2 You know when I sit down and when I get up.
You know my thoughts before I think them.
3 You know where I go and where I lie down.
You know everything I do.
4 Lord, even before I say a word,
you already know it.
5 You are all around me—in front and in back—
and have put your hand on me.
6 Your knowledge is amazing to me;
it is more than I can understand.
7 Where can I go to get away from your Spirit?
Where can I run from you?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there.
If I lie down in the grave, you are there.
9 If I rise with the sun in the east
and settle in the west beyond the sea,
10 even there you would guide me.
With your right hand you would hold me.
11 I could say, "The darkness will hide me.
Let the light around me turn into night."
12 But even the darkness is not dark to you.
The night is as light as the day;
darkness and light are the same to you.
13 You made my whole being;
you formed me in my mother's body.
14 I praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way.
What you have done is wonderful.
I know this very well.
15 You saw my bones being formed
as I took shape in my mother's body.
When I was put together there,
16 you saw my body as it was formed.
All the days planned for me
were written in your book
before I was one day old.
17 God, your thoughts are precious to me.
They are so many!
18 If I could count them,
they would be more than all the grains of sand.
When I wake up,
I am still with you.
19 God, I wish you would kill the wicked!
Get away from me, you murderers!
20 They say evil things about you.
Your enemies use your name thoughtlessly.
21 Lord, I hate those who hate you;
I hate those who rise up against you.
22 I feel only hate for them;
they are my enemies.
23 God, examine me and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any bad thing in me.
Lead me on the road to everlasting life.

God is my DJ
Sometimes when I am on the go or doing something at home and am listening to music I simply say a little prayer...
"God be my DJ, you know what I need to hear right now!"
Then I will turn my ipod on shuffle and away I go. The majority of the music on my ipod is christian. But I do have some Disco and Classic Rock trax on there that I love. God always answers my prayer, I usually get a good portion of Shekinah Glory ministries and Christ Tomlin. But every once in a while I get one of the Disco or Classic Rock trax and to be honest they almost speak to me more than the christian ones do. Right now I am packing for Florida and I am letting God by my DJ on my computer and this song came on that brought back a beautiful memory that I had to stop to write it down.
I was sitting on the train going to work and I felt so lost, alone, unloved just crappy! I prayed that prayer for God to be my DJ. Then this France Joli song came on and I was brought to tears on a Subway car FULL OF PEOPLE. I just sat there and cried. It's a duet, here are the lyrics...
FRANCE JOLI:
Oooh!!!!! Come to me,
When you're all alone and feeling down
Come to me,
When there's nobody else around
Come to me
I'm still waiting,opened armed for you
Come to me,
Cause I will comfort you
When you've no one to turn to
Well I'll be here just for you
Come to me
When your world is empty and cold
Come to me
When you need someone you want to hold
Come to me
In my arms I will keep you safe and warm
Come to me I will shelter you from the storm
I'm not one to pretend
Why can't you understand
That I love you
And I love you
And I need you
And I want you
And I love you
And I love you
And I need you
And I want you
Come to me
MALE COUNTERPART:
Oh baby I'm a lonely man
But if only I could learn to cry
Maybe then
The pain inside me would subside
FRANCE JOLI:
Come to me
And I will comfort you
Show you what love can do
MALE COUNTERPART:
I'm a lonely man
Living in a world of dreams
I've got everything
But the one thing that I really need
FRANCE JOLI:
Come to me I'll give you all the love you need
Cause I have love just for you
Come to me
When your world is empty and cold
Come to me
When you need someone you want to hold
Come to me
In my arms I will keep you safe and warm
Come to me I will shelter you from the storm
I'm not one to pretend
Why can't you understand
That I love you
And I love you
And I need you
And I want you
And I love you
And I love you
And I need you
And I want you
Come to me I love you
Love you
Love you
Need you
Want you
Oh baby I love you
Oh baby I need you
Oh baby I love you
Oh baby I need you
Oh baby I love you
Oh baby I need you
Oh baby I love you
Oh baby I need you
Come to me I love you
And I love you
And I need you
And I want you
And I love you
And I love you
And I need you
Come to me
That is so our God... waiting opened armed... WANTING US to just run into his arms with our problems and look to him to be our shelter from the storm!
