Bigger Things

I want out of this machine
It doesn’t feel like freedom

This ain’t my American dream
I want to live and die for bigger things
I’m tired of fighting for just me
This ain’t my American dream

Baptism

My baptism last night was so amazing. Baptism as a symbol of my faith in Jesus and my love for Jesus is powerful in itself, but to celebrate it with my family there and so many of the people I’ve grown to love here in Glasgow. There are no words. I had some coffee with my parents, my wee brother and my aunt afterwards, then headed back to the flat where a few friends came round to celebrate… such a lovely lovely evening…

I’ve waited all my life to be here face to face.
I never knew that I could feel this kind of grace.
The way You show me that Your blood has washed me clean,
Could never be erased; it lives inside of me…

I stand here in this place,
See the Glory on Your Face,
Taken by the wonder of Your name.
I’m desperate for Your touch,
Never needed it so much,
Cause all I want is You.

All Around Has Fallen

broken bricks

When all around has fallen your castle has been burned
You used to be a king here, now no one knows your name
You live your life for honour, defender of the faith
But you’ve been crushed to pieces and no one knows your pain

Come, come lay your weary head be still my friend
Come, rise I’ll place my sword upon your shoulder
Come, rise with me

When tomorrow has been stolen and you can’t lift your head
And summer feels like winter your heart is full of stone
Though all your hopes have fallen your skin is now your only armour
Wear your scars like medals defender of the faith

Come, come lay your weary head be still my friend
Come, rise I’ll place my sword upon your shoulder
Come, come lay your faithful head, be still my friend
Come rise with me

Life

Some new pictures up on my Flickr… plan to start putting more up, maybe put up some old ones I’ve got as well. There are a few from the e.s.t. gig the other night up now.

Life is pretty busy right now… I got a new job… althought wondering how long I will be able to stay!! Gotta give it a try at least.

I’m getting baptised on Monday evening! Excited about that, and my folks are going to be over for it as well which is cool. More details later.
