Won't it call when you least expect it?
You work but you can't find satisfaction
You shred your arm for the job
All for love
And for a hope
For sunday when you can finally breathe
To pay for your home
To pay for time with your kids
That's not a life that's pain
I don't want to always say I'm dreaming
I want to say I'm living the dream
I don't want to live paycheck to paycheck
And everybody thinks I'm going crazy.
Yeah,
That's the life of a dreamer.
God, come free me
I bend I twist my arm to the right and to the left
I go to make ends meet because that's what makes everybody happy
But deep down I'm struggling
I don't want to be rich
I want to be faith-filled
I don't want cars
I want to make music
I don't want fake smiles and professionalism
I WANT YOU.
And at the end of the day,
That's all I'm gonna settle for
Everything else can get set aside
And that's when I'll know,
Love's at the front door.
I'll hear your steps
I'll come downstairs
And come washing your feet
I'll lay on the floor, at the edge of your feet
And I'll cry out
I'll lay down all of my worries
And dry your feet with my hair
God, I'm getting older
And I need you more
More than I need friends
More than I need a safety net
You said "I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
It's time for me to follow in your plans
And I'll risk it all
And be faithful to you
That's what I want to do
When love comes to the front door
I'm sold out
I'm crazy
I give it all to you
And you just say,
Trust in me
And you'll know more and more
I'll make a way
It will be so amazing
And you won't have to struggle all this you won't have to try
Because when you fall
It will be my grace to come pick you up
So when you're heavy, do not doubt
I will turn around the corner and stop by at your house
In the night
When you least expect it
And i'll casually say hello
But i'll bring a present
A special surprise
And say this is what you've been struggling and waiting for
And say look this is all for you
Thanks for trusting in me
And you will know that I am good
So don't lose your sleep and rest
The fight is not empty and you are not alone.
I will knock at your door
I will not come empty handed
I will not be cruel
Look at these scars on my hands
My left hand
My right hand
Look at these tears running down my cheek
I look from eternity
It's time to see that the battle belongs to the Lord
Vengeance belongs to the Lord
I love you
And here I have for you a gift for all your pain
And this is a remedy
No more frowning
You'll be sure
You'll be sure
That love was on your front door.

Wow. I felt this. The depth; the truth; the story. -
"I want to make music I don't want fake smiles and professionalism" - I feel the exact same way. I do what I do for the love of it and because I'm passionate about it. It makes me happy; it makes me feel alive. I will say though, I don't want to be rich, but I do want to be wealthy. However, I want to so I can live a free live to do all the things my soul has been wanting to do, and also for generational wealth for my family do live their best lives, happy, and free and not constrained with fake smiles and professionalism. It's bigger than me, and it's bigger than money. It's just freedom for me and my family. I don't want luxury, I just want what makes my soul happy. I'm a very frugal person; I spend money wisely; I don't care about labels, popularity of fitting in. I just wanna be all of me. AMAZING piece nikki I have also needed the Lord more than I needed my friends, but not just to ask for things per se, but just because he is my father, and a great support system.
