The Beginning of a Dream

The Beginning of a Dream

By: Adrielle R. Bollin

You take me to places I've never been

Inspire me to walk with you on the wind

Called me to dream and co-labor with you

Demolished the locusts of yesteryear's coo

My heart is ablaze knowing you have heard me

Rescued my soul from every treachery

Promised me life in abundance with you

Beckoning me to walk in your shoes

Hallelujah, my heart sings to you

For your greatness and beauty is full in my view

And your grace has helped me to clearly see

Your love never fails and with you I'm free

Remind Me Who I Am

"Remind Me Who I Am"
By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

Some days can be so lonely
When everyone is looking at themselves
They say hurting people hurt others
Sometimes people just don't think at all

Then I look around and see the pain
And I'm reeling cause I feel the same

It's like a desert
With pouring rain
I don't know what to do
With the flood I'm in

Til you     Wipe those lies away
Til you     Turn my face your way

Remind me who I am
The daughter of the Lamb

When my joy is stripped and shaken down
And all I see is gray all around
You paint my soul to life
With colors so true and bright

Then when all my tears are dried
And I can stand in your might

It's like a desert
With pouring rain
And I'm awestruck
Seeing life again

And you     Lift my spirits high
And you     Dance with me to the sky

Reminding me who I am
I'm the daughter of the Lamb

What If Love

"What If Love?"
By: Adrielle R. Bollin

What if Love had a voice
What if you were Love's choice
And those eyes they burned for you
With mercy, compassion, justice and truth

What if Love was your defense
Your relief and recompense
What if Love was more than you
Bigger than life, than you ever knew

What if Love was really proud of you
If all your successes made Love smile with you
And all your failures made Love cry with you
What if all Love wanted was to hold and comfort you

What if Love made you stronger
And melted your heart for all sons and daughters
Quenched all your thirst and quelled deepest hunger
Gave you new eyes with which to ponder

What if wisdom was your mother
And loving kindness your brother
What if strength was a constant companion
And peace was your safe place to land in

What if joy was ever dancing in your heart
All because Love has been with you from the start
What if Love laid down His life for you
Even while knowing, Him, you wouldn't choose

What if Love was the best friend you ever had
Or the kind of father you'd be proud to have
What if Love could heal your heart and soul
Make you clean, fill you up and make you whole

What man or woman could fill Love's shoes
Who is limitless and ageless tell me who?
We do not fill Love's shoes, but Love fills ours
We who choose Love have Love's powers

What if Love?

Big Boy Shoes

This song is dedicated to all my girlfriends out there who are still waiting on that ring...

"Big Boy Shoes"
By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

You've been together for how many years
Shared your lives, your joys and tears
She's been there when all others failed
Stood by your side when life derailed

She knows you like the back of her hand
Does thoughtful things even when she's mad
She's loyal like the rising sun
That smile of hers will bless someone

But she won't

Wait forever boy

Before too long, 

A real man is gonna come along

And do what you can't do

Come on boy, put on your big boy shoes

She's got dreams of a ring on her left hand

A wedding dress and maybe even a band

She wants to celebrate the love you share

She wants to know that you will always be there

You've got your reasons but I'm telling you

It's time to man up and face the truth

Either you love her or don't

By now you really ought to know

Cause she won't

Wait forever boy

Before too long, 

A real man is gonna come along

And do what you won't do

Come on boy, put on your big boy shoes

Oh she's good for you 

Your friends all like her too

Your family's taken her in

Tell me boy are you out or in

Cause she won't...

A New Old Psalm

A New Old Psalm

By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

What can I say that has not twice been uttered

Yet still I will praise you if I repeat every word

What can I do that's not already been done

Yet still I will bless you even after the battle's won

For though you have angels surrounding your throne

Praising your name in most heavenly tones

Your heart alights when hearing my voice

Singing my thanks and declaring by choice

When troubles surround me and I cannot see

Your heart is moved so that you rescue me

You shine in your light of love and truth

So that once again I can come dancing with you
