Second Impressions

Standing with your girlfriend

A new one I see

I make my way over

To see if you remember me

You were my first crush

I was only six it's true

We were never really friends

But you were the only boy I knew

You don't say hi back

More interested in the floor

You claim you don't recall

Ever seeing me before

It was then I remembered

Something I had forgot

Thinking requires braincells

Which not everyone has got

I smile and move on

In more than one way

It's funny how things change

And how little I miss those days.

It Runs Red

I don't get it God

Why Jesus died for me

Why he took the pain

Hung on the cross in agony

I try to understand

Why it had to be done

The sacrifice for sin

Your one and only son

The beating and mocking

As if it were a show

The blood running down

To make me white as snow

Someone to bridge the gap

To cover my imperfection

The cruelty of death

The power of resurection

Don't let me forget

The price that was paid

Because it should have been me

Inside that stone grave

Thank you for the cross

For all you went through

You died for me

Help me to live for you.
