Faengwen

I hope you all enjoy my newest song. It's one I've been working on for a while. If you're wondering where I got the name Faengwen, it is an elvish name for one of my closest friends, and it means "Radiant White". I'm so overwhelmed by the blessing this person has been to me in the past year, and so I think writing a song for them is the least I could do for them. :) God bless you Faengwen. I love you and thank God for you.

Poem of the Sea

So today I was sitting on my bed, doing nothing productive and pretty much killing my brain with math concepts, when a very special friend of mine started telling me about what a sucky day she was having. I had no clue how to cheer her up and was racking my brain for ideas. I then realized that I could write her a special poem about the sea. In about five minutes I had a pretty good one written out and I sent it to her. She seemed happy to get it, and it seemed to brighten her day up a little. So I'm glad I could be of assistance. ^_^ Here's the poem I wrote her.




Sail into the rising sun
To meet the gulls in sand and stone
To walk the shores with waves so deep
Into the eyes of winter's sleep
To see the storms part ways in tears
With winds and sounds to deafen ears 
I see her waiting there for me 
To love, to give, and to be free
Freedom in my arms so safe
And loved by Him who holds her fate
So sail into the setting sun
To bid farewell to sand and stone

Come Thou Fount

     One thing I am learning, and have been learning this past year and a half, is that I cannot depend on physical pleasures to bring me peace and happiness. We, as humans, tend to strive for happiness by searching for things outside of the word of God for that one thing that grants long lasting peace. I tend to look for happiness through my relationships with people; what they can do for me, what I can do for them, etc...
     What I have been granted in return for depending on people and circumstances to bring me happiness, is misery, disappointment, and the realization that people are flawed, and that I cannot depend on them. This realization has been on the forefront of my mental stage for about a year now. I realize now that I have to look to the only person who never failed me, or backed down when situations were not only miserable, but life threatening. The only person in my life that I can look to and know, for certain, that He wont let me down. The Fount of every Blessing is the one thing I can go to and rest my tired soul when I've been running and couldn't stop. Christ is the the living water that I can drink and never be thirsty again, he is the way, the truth, AND the life. And not just a temporary life...but everlasting life. He gives me peace that will last, and that I can have if I just reach out and take it. If I rest in him, and ask for him to tune my heart to sing HIS praises, I can then have the streams of mercy, never ceasing. I love this song because because it holds so much truth and doctrine...and yes, it is beautiful as well. This is my rendition of "Come Thou Fount of every Blessing". I hope you enjoy it, and if you do not know the words, I have posted them below...
God bless :)

 Come, thou Fount of every blessing, 
 tune my heart to sing thy grace; 
 streams of mercy, never ceasing, 
 call for songs of loudest praise. 
 Teach me some melodious sonnet, 
 sung by flaming tongues above. 
 Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, 
 mount of thy redeeming love. 

2. Here I raise mine Ebenezer; 
 hither by thy help I'm come; 
 and I hope, by thy good pleasure, 
 safely to arrive at home. 
 Jesus sought me when a stranger, 
 wandering from the fold of God; 
 he, to rescue me from danger, 
 interposed his precious blood. 

3. O to grace how great a debtor 
 daily I'm constrained to be! 
 Let thy goodness, like a fetter, 
 bind my wandering heart to thee. 
 Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, 
 prone to leave the God I love; 
 here's my heart, O take and seal it, 
 seal it for thy courts above. 

Hey guys! Some insight on what's gonna be happening soon!

So in a couple of weeks, I'm going to be posting a paper I wrote for college. It's kind of a fun assignment to be honest  and I hope you all enjoy it. I can't really say what it's about as of yet, but I'm gonna be dropping hints for the sake of anticipation along the way for the next week or so. For a first hint, I'll just say it's kinda futuristic, and very fictional.

Winds of Rivendell

                                                                    A song by yours truly. 

Poem of the Tower Guard

Where are the riders in the darkest hour Where snowflakes fall, and whiten towers? Where are the winds where sun rays bend And light up all the oceans now and then? Return white gulls of sunsets past Where love was always meant to last where summer lives and winter dies And where the trees will sway and sigh With stars above the earth so deep The heavens are what one cant keep the songs of mourning, the words of Life Put my heart to rest tonight And may the grace of life please wake my mind when dark of night, the dawn will take
