My End of the World

One minute, the whole world is in my hands
The next, like the end of the world
Still alive amidst a dying world
And yet, the music's ever so lovely

The song speaks of love lost
The news, a nation racing downhill
The church, of anything and everything
And yet, the music's ever so lovely

The people dream of greener pastures
The restrained whisper "Listen to his voice!"
Deep within lies the freshness of his words
Oh, the music's ever so lovely

My lover has my heart, my mind, my soul, my strength
Transformed, I am a steadfast regent
Fulfilling his purposes amidst a dying world
Oh, the music's ever so lovely

Heading towards the end of the world ...

There's something about this song that makes me wanna burst out and live life a little more ... a lot more ...

I'm Yours
Songwriters: Mraz, Jason;

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it

I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted

I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest

And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention

I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me

Open up your plans and then you're free

Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing

We're just one big family

And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait, I'm sure

There's no need to complicate, our time is short

This is our fate, I'm yours

D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do

But do you want to come on

Scooch on over closer dear

And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror

And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer

But my breath fogged up the glass

And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason

To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons

It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait, I'm yours

(I won't hesitate)

Open up your mind and see like me

(No more, no more)

Open up your plans and man you're free

Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours

(It cannot wait, I'm sure)

So please don't, please don't, please don't

(There's no need to complicate)

There's no need to complicate

(Our time is short)

'Cause our time is short

(This is our fate)

This is, this is, this is our fate

I'm yours

I am also reminded of my time in Hawaii, though a time of studying God's word and his ways, it was very much a time of ...

soaking in his presence, 

the beauty of his creation on land and underwater, 

the freshness of the breeze, 

the tingling warmth of the sun against my pale surface, 

the friendly chatter of the people, 

their beautiful smiles, 

ohhh ... just the exuberance of life and living

The instruments remind me of one of my favorite musicians the late Israel "Iz" Ka'ano'i Kamakawiwo'ole.
