beautyqueen - masterpiece

well....being home has been good so far. today we slept in and that's the first in a long time...soo great!!! woke up, went to the fireplace and grabbed a cup of coffee...
yesterday was great, me and mike were able to share at my church what we've been up to lately and about our outreach we're going on soon. Also, in the evening there was a women's christmas tea. It was called a Christmas of Blessings, and it was. There was so much lovely food, desserts, coffee, apple cider, the church was decorated so beautifully....and i enjoyed being with my church family again as well. But at the end they had asked if i would sing a song...so yesterday i was trying to think of which song to sing, and one came to mind that wasn't christmas-ey but it was fitting for women i think. in our captivating group in vancouver we have talked about how women are mean to be peaceful, full of quiet strength that exudes from them, not in controlling busyness, and so this song that i wrote for a friend awhile ago seemed fitting...so i sang it and i'm always amazed because music really does stir something in us and it wasn't me, it was God, He moved through the song and touched people's hearts, one lady came up to me because she said she was 'undone' she was crying through the whole song...and so praise God!! He uses music and so i just wanted so share the words of this song with all of you.....(and its one of my only songs i've recorded on my own because it was for my Lovely friend Franziska she was in Norway and there was a recording studio, so i recorded it for her) She is lovely and i miss her dearly!!!!!
if you read this at all Franziska, know you are still dear to my heart and this song is still for you! The picture is me and her in norway.

Swirling, the chaos growing
But i'm standing still
I can see life moving at me,
But will it pass me by
Colors dancing around my being
But i feel as if i'm gray
All i really long for now
Is to truly live

All i want is to see
That beauty really lies in me
And the world with all it's colors
Is where I want to live

All i want is to see
That beauty really lies in me
And the world with all it's colors
Is where I want to live

The paintings, the music, the laughter
I want to soak them in
To live and breathe each day as if it is my last
I want to look back on life
and know that it was more
To know that my Life was part
of a Masterpiece

All i want is to see
That beauty really lies in me
And the world with all it's colors
Is where I want to live

You are a masterpiece
more beautiful than you know
