Steal You Away

By Randy Rogers Band


I could see you standing with him
he ain't holdin' your hand like he should
he ain't listenin' to a word you say
he doesn't look at you the way i would

I should steal you away

I've been wondering
are you looking at me
thinking how it might be, if you were mine

girl it drives me crazy
he don't know what he's got
I'm fightin' so hard not to cross the line

I should steal you away,
I should steal you away,

in the middle of the night come take your heart,
I should steal you away

I could see us walking out that door
not looking back as we roll down the road
and I would show you what a man's supposed to be 
take you anywhere you ever wanna go

I should steal you away,
I should steal you away,
in the middle of the night come take your heart,
I should steal you away,
I should steal you away

Song: Inspired by Love

My favorite song is the one our heart beats make
Whether it be when we’re together or not
How I feel about you is no mistake
For you I talk the talk and walk the walk

The lyrics of the song speak of our conjoined soul
The chorus; speaks only of who we are:
An emancipated spirit always on the go
Willing and ready to go further than far

Every word is a testament of faith
Every letter illustrates my devotion
Every phrase serves as a failsafe
To secure any doubts or negative emotion

The song never ends, and never retires…
It is sung forever by God’s heavenly Choir…

I Thought; I Pray

I thought I could go a day without you,
The day was short and the sun never rose…
I thought I could make my world without you…
The world was small with no highs, only lows.

I thought life could be easy but it only got harder
I thought I could erase you and continue on my path
As I thought, I thought, I thought…you only got farther
It was as if my heart cut right in half, in half, in half…

I lived with a smile on, but no one ever knew…
About the pain behind it and the broken heart too.
The pain was large, but there was nothing I could do.
It wouldn’t go away; my heart was longing for you.

But still I pray for your happiness and your well-being
You deserve the best and all God’s riches is what I am still believing

My Only Thought

The first thought in my mind each day consists of you
Nothing brings my heart more joy
To know that I start like the morning dew
Fresh and innocent, feeling like a young boy

My consistent mood sets the tone
My constant heart keeps a steady beat
Your everlasting beauty send shivers to my bone
Like the cool morning breeze that caresses my feet

I look out to view the beautiful sight
I look at you and see so much more
A flawless creation of God and all his might
And realize my imagination waits for you to walk through the door

Another day passed where your thought captures my time
The moon rises as I go to bed with you on my mind

Hope

There will only ever be one.She is good, and pleasing, and perfect. Her beauty like a rose that never wilts, and still lives even in the depths of the coldest winter. Her smile only melts the hearts of those it meets. Her spirit as free as the dove's feather gliding in the wind. Her eyes are brighter than bright and deeper than the largest depths of the abiss. Her happiness is the only thing that makes me happy. My heart...a home to this perspective and the world i have to offer her. Though her heart and mine will never conjoin...all i have is a hope that will burn large and bright through the night till it reaches day. It will continue to burn until the memory of her is no more and all is lost and suffocated. And yet, i will still dwell on the embers of passion to keep hope alive...

So last night i saw "Soul Surfer" a great movie that told a story about Bethany Hamilton the pro surfer who lost her arm at a young age due to a shark bite. The story was-to say the least-remarkably inspirational. The bravery, the composure...but most of all the message.

Many times in our life we see bad things happen to good people. When this occurs, people are always quick to ask God, "Why me?!?" It is not something we understand at first because as Bethany did in the movie, we are looking to closely on matter at hand. We need to step back and take a broader perspective on the whole scheme of things. God chose Bethany to be a hope and inspiration for millions around the world. Her story spread and she quickly realized why God had put her through her ordeal.

Many times this happens in our lives. Whether we choose to realize that God does it for a reason, a good reason for hope as it stats in Jeremiah 29:11 is up to us to decide. But Gods primary focus in each of our lives is his relationship and love for us. He wants us to turn to him, not run, when bad happens, or we experience setbacks. Once we do, his inheritance is great. We are stronger in faith, and his grace falls like rain. God is great. He does what he does out of love for us. In fact, he gave his only begotten son so that whoever so believeth in him shall have eternal life and not parish. That is the magnitude of Gods love. And Bethany's story is on that illustrates what can happen once we accept his love.

Love is Kind,

HAKUNA MATATA!

In the Disney Classic, "The Lion King," we find an odd but yet inseparably compatible pair of friends who teach one of life's most important lessons: "Hakuna Matata." Now i know it was made for the film and they use it as an escape to when things go wrong. But as i have lived and experienced set backs in my everyday struggles i find that this saying with that of a Swahili origin can become much deeper. Maybe Timon and Pumba were right. We shouldn't worry.

Literally translated: "there are no worries" this saying goes much deeper than its simple background. In fact, it is something I live by. When something goes wrong, there is a reason that it happens. If you believe so, it always happens to make you a stronger yet, wiser human. In James 1:2 Paul writes: "consider it an opportunity for great joy when troubles come your way, because you know that God is testing your faith." God puts these speed bumps in out lives to make us stronger in faith. Think about the outcome when you keep moving through the situation you are in and you persevere and triumph over them. You are now a better and much stronger person and are now well prepared for any similar situation that may arrive. God prepares you for what is up ahead in the present day with the trials that he sends your way. So "if God is for you, what can be against you?" Romans 8:31

There is virtually no need to worry about the task, situation, or trial at hand if you trust that God has you in this for a reason. HAKUNA MATATA! The bible also tells us in Matthew not to worry about tomorrow till tomorrow for today already has enough troubles. Take it a day at a time. You've already won with God at your side. Besides, worrying will literally take years off your life span. There should be no need to worry with anything you get yourself into either. You must always focus on the victory at hand and the glory that God will gain in you triumph. To worry is to waste precious time.

Life is too short to spend it in thought of a worry state. Live it, but don't be a fool with it. And make sure along the way you are able to learn from each mistake and not make it a second time. That is how we become wise. Wisdom is applied knowledge and is an application to our life that can derive from the Hakuna Matata state of mind. With wisdom come the power to deflect any bad trial that comes our way with ease.

Look: there are somethings in the moments of our lives that will inevitably happen. There is nothing we can do about them. So why worry? Just focus on how you will get through it, execute, and learn. This will prepare us either for the next similar instance or teach us not to go into that same situation again. So the message of the day is: Don't worry. God has your back. Learn from your experience. = HAKUNA MATATA.

Your friend with a problem free philosiphy,
