Faithful - Brooke Fraser

There's distance in the air and I cannot make it leave
I wave my arms 'round about me and I blow with all my might
I cannot sense you close, though I know you're always here
But the comfort of you near is what I love for

When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same
When I can't hear you, I know you still hear every work I pray
And I want you more than I want to live another day
And as I wait for you maybe I'm made more faithful

All the folly of the past, though I know it is undone
I still feel the guilty one, still trying to make it right
So I whisper soft your name, let it roll around my tongue, knowing you're the only one who knows me
You know me

When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same
When I can't hear you, I know you still hear every work I pray
And I want you more than I want to live another day
And as I wait for you maybe I'm made more...


Show me how I should live this
Show me where I should walk
I count this world as loss to me
You are all I want
You are all I want

When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same
When I can't hear you, I know you still hear every work I pray
And I want you more than I want to live another day
And as I wait for you maybe I'm made more-
As I wait for you maybe I'm made more-
As I wait for you, I am made more faithful.

Back from NZ... again

Yeah, on the 25th of January my grandma passed away (I was a total wreck all morning and then put on my happy face for college), so on the 26th of January my family and I flew off to New Zealand. We spent a week at my grandma's house sorting out things, attending and participating in the funeral and burying her ashes (Thanks to Mark for the joke about grandma's recycling :P). All of it was actually quite good in the way that it gave a sense of closure, I got to see loads of cousins I haven't seen in ages and being a Christian I believe my grandma's gone to heaven so she's in a place she would rather be anyway.
In the second week me and Carol went to Welly. That was quite a holiday-esque week, did lots of shopping, saw places I haven't seen in a while etc.
So overall it was kind of ok.
When we came back it was a bit of 'back to reality' and so much to do etc.
Ech, life.

Brooke Fraser is an excellent songwriter/singer. Just so you know.

Calm.
