These 2 songs are by Stavesacre from their first album in the 90's, got a new copy last year from a year and listening to some of those songs, for some reason I can listen to this and get more in tune with God then listening to whatever praise & worship CD's.

Stars and Clouds

sunlight...
such a beautiful day to say
good-bye

we try to look our best
thinking of you
how can i pretend when inside...
none of this seems right
the timing isn't mine
there were things we needed
to make right
was so long, i never dreamed that
i would see the end, that we
wouldn't make amends
come short of reconciling, still
memories remind me
he was so calm
still and quiet
precious and powerless
but somehow strong
he carried on
did he realize that you were gone?
i don't know...
i see you in him. in voices, faces, expressions

as long as i may stay
i will pray the same
to live a life
like a child
and never to forget what i know loving is

to hear him
speaking of you
he knew exactly what
was happening
said you were born today
his favorite person in the world
he's different
a breeze of fresh air
laced with a touch of somewhere familiar
he's tomorrow, he's starting over
he's treasure and survival
walk the beach with him
talk the day away
and when the sun winds down
and the stars come out he...
could name one after you
as only a child could do
put you above, not behind him
till the end...
a bright place
past the clouds and darkness, distance

At The Moment

with a sigh i greet the day
i feel the morning on my face
weary at the moment i awake
even as i lie
the thought returns to mind
"welcome to the rest of your life".
somewhere i've lost my way
from saved to stray and failing
in silence my spirit pleads,
"is the vision lost
or has it been passed on?
is there any use continuing?"

my soul will wait
my soul-wait silently
for God, my God(God my refuge)
and i will live
and i know some destiny
still waits for me

his faithfulness, my hope
it brings comfort to my soul
with a still small voice whispering,
"call upon my name and i
will set you up on high
be still and know that i am God

creation speaks to me
i'm stricken to my knees
in reverance and fear
forever my Almighty
the heavens in your hand
surpass the grains of sand
who am i before you
elieonai eli adullam [God my father, God my refuge; Hebrew]
