Let's Go Back ~ 2-19-08

You call me on the phone

Say you just wanted to hear my voice

You say I'm the only one

You wouldn't leave me if you had the choice

So let's go back to that old playground

Where we met ath the swing when I fell down

You were six and I was five

You helped me up and dried my eyes

You smiled at me, and played with me

Now let's go back to our first date

You got to my house two hours late
I was on the porch in my new red dress
I looked at you, you were a great big mess.
We took a drive, laughed 'til we cried...

So let's go back to my backyard
My sweet sixteen, and I was fallin' hard.
You took me down to walk by the creek
We had our first kiss, and my knees went weak.
You said "I love you," and then I did too.

Now let's go back to your twenty-first.
You made your speech, and you thanked me first.
We took a walk, went back to that park....

I sat on the swing where we met that day.
You gave me a kiss, and then we prayed.
Then you got down in front of me
With tears in your eyes, said "Will you marry me?"
I said "Yes, my dear," and you held me near.

Now let's go back to that starry night,
We met in the park, and my dress was white.
Our dads prayed over the two of us
My sister sang, then they all watched us.
We said "I do," I was next to you.

Now we're back in the park, another starry night.
Our daughter's up there, and she's dressed in white.
I whisper, "I love you," as she says "I do."
You grin at me, and say you still love me...

I'll Get You Back/I'll Forgive You

Hey! Why'd you go and do that to me?
Hey! What did I do to deserve this?
You're driving me mad.
If I had one wish...

I'd get you back for the things you did to me
I'd make you feel all the pain inside of me
I'd get you back for the things you put me through
I'd get you back for the love I thought I knew
I'd get you baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!

Hey! Whad has happened to us?
Hey! What went horribly wrong?
I thought we were in love.
I guess I was wrong...

I'll get you back for the things you did to me
I'll make you feel all the pain inside of me
I'll get you back for the things you put me through
I'll get you back for the love I thought I knew
I'll get you baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!

Hey! Why'd you dump me like that?
Hey! I thought we were for real.
Please come and explain
why you tore out my heart
I loved you for real
and I gave you my heart

I'll get you back for the things you did to me
I'll make you feel all the pain inside of me
I'll get you back for the things you put me through
I'll get you back for the love I thought I knew
I'll get you baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!

But I know if I don't forgive you, bitterness and hatred will consume me.

So even though you don't deserve it...

I'll forgive you for the things you did to me.

I'll forgive you for the pain inside of me.

I'll forgive you for the pain you put me through.

I'll forgive you for the love I thought I knew.

I'll forgive you.

Still Untitled Poem ~ 1-19-2008

The LORD my shepherd is; He's my Guardian, Guide and Stay

He's the light of my life; He's the strength of my song;

He's the one and only path, my chosen way.

The LORD my savior is; He's the light, the truth, the way

He's my comfort by day, he's my song in the night

He's the one and only path, my chosen way.

Jesus Christ, who died for me when there was no other way

is the light of my life, he's the joy of my heart

He's the one and only path my chosen way

God the Father, God the Son; Holy Spirit, Three in One!

He will never forsake 'til in Heav'n I awake

He will keep me safe until my race is run.

Mighty God, my counselor All the things You've given me!

A roof o'er my head, and a warm, comfy bed

You have given me the greatest family.

Parents who resemble You; teach me what You've said to do

Love siblings and cousins and uncles and aunts

There is no way I deserve this much from you

Oh, I can't wait for that day when in Heaven I shall stand!

There I'll see Jesus' glory, that shines bright as day.

And I'll sing and shout His praise throughout the land!

This is the Time

This is the time

For a new beginning.

For all the hungry souls

To come and eat.

This is the time

To cry to Jesus;

To call His name,

And come to Him.

'Cause now

is the time!

Don't let the world

Pull you in.

'Cause now

is the time!

Put off all worldly things,

and come to Him.

This is the time

to raise our banners

to help our brothers

and unite in song

and this is the time

to fight the battle

on, christian soldiers!

Fight on, pray on!

'cause now

is the time!

Don't let the world

pull you in.

'cause now

is the time!

Put off all worldly things,

and worship Him.

This is the time

to praise Jehovah

to sing aloud

and honor him

and this is the time

to take your cross up

forget the world,

and live for HIM!

'cause now

is the time!

Don't let the world

pull you in.

'cause now

is the time!

Put off all worldly things,

and follow Him.

My Heart's Desire

There is a place of sure relief: a place where kindred dewll;

A place where all have firm belief in He who broke the spell.

I want to go to that great land; to see my Savior's face:

To see th'immortal angel band, in this, my Father's place.

I want to praise Him day by day; the one who died for me:

I want to worship: sing and pray; for all eternity.

I love the LORD with all my heart; He died on calvary:

He shields my soul from Satan's darts; He's ne'er forsaken me.

He gave his life; He died for me; that I might live with Him:

I'll ne'er forget His perfect love; I long to live with Him.

You Weren't "The One" ~ Stephanie Barrington ~ 2008

another of my songs that I thought I'd share with y'all :D I wrote this after watching a tragic love story movie :) not from experience. it still needs quite a bit of work, but I think it's good enough to post :)

spoken:

The year was '03, I had just turned 18

When you gave me that rose, I thought you'd propose

But you were just lettin' me down easy, or so you thought,

But you just made it worse, than if you had not.

sung:

I thought you were The One, God had planned for me

I thought we'd be one, through all eternity

But God had other plans, He'd made from the start,

I thought I would die, When you broke my Heart,

But you weren't The One, God had planned for me

Back then, I was naive, But now, I plainly see,

That if you were The One, God had planned for me,

We'd be side-by-side, You next to me,

But you weren't The One, God had planned for me,

back then, I was naive, But now I plainly see,

That you weren't The One. MMM-MMM,

But you... Weren't The One.

Good Friends ~ Stephanie Barrington ~ 1-19-2008

I've got good friends
Who understand me
Who always know when I'm down in despair
I've good friends
And when I see them... It's like a big family reunion...
I've got good friends... ooh-ooh,
I've got good friends


I've got good friends
Who really know me
They're always there when... I'm down and depressed
And they tell me...
It's not worth it... to be sad when there can be joy...
I've got good friends. ooh-ooh,
I've got good friends
