You Believed by Corrinne May
I shouldn’t be here / Me with my brokenness / Me with the holes in my wounded heart / It’s perfectly clear / This world would never choose me / ‘cause I’m no work of art / I was headed down the slope / Had used up my hope / And that was to be the end of me / But
You believed / When nobody else could see / You believed / When the whole world gave up / I’m here because / You believed
Unanswered prayers / Doesn’t mean you’re forgotten / it just means that there’s a better plan / Blurred in the dirt / Dreams can go rotten cause / Even heroes lose their strength / I’m here to testify / To your sacrifice / Everyone needs a second chance
You believed / When nobody else could see / You believed / When the whole world gave up / I’m here because / You believed
You can see the whole picture / Not just the drafts or the lame mistakes / Every tree that flowers / Needs to grow from the dirt of / All that’s come before‘cause you believed when nobody else could see / Yeah you believed / When the whole world gave up / I’m here, I’m here because
You believed / When nobody else could see / You believed / When the whole world gave up / I’m here because / You believed
Love this song… Its so true & I can totally relate to it :)

Beautiful Life - Corrinne May
It’s in living every moment
Like it could be our last
For our hearts are restless till
They rest in Love’s caress
And the moments we remember
They interweave our hearts
Like a tapestry surrounding us,that we forget to touch
It’s why we wake up every morning
It’s why we seek each other’s smile
It’s why we know that it’s all worth it
It’s why we hold on we make the sacrifice
It’s in the eyes of a child
As you hold her in your arms
And your heart starts to beat once again
And the world is reborn
In the beauty of her song
Smile
It’s a Beautiful Life.
It’s in the hope of the poor man
As he struggles to make ends meet
It’s in the laughter of his children as they play in the street
Don’t need a million dollars to raise a happy child
Just need a pair of loving arms and the time to make her smile
It’s why we wake up every morning
It’s why we seek each other’s smile
It’s why we know that it’s all worth it
It’s why we hold on we make the sacrifice
It’s in the tears of a friend
As you finally make amends
And your soul starts to breathe once again
And the weight of the world
Falls away with one word
Smile
It’s a Beautiful Life
Oh….
Oh….
Oh…..
It’s in the touch of her lips
As she leans in for a kiss
And your world starts to spin once again
And two hearts become one
As a dream is begun
Smile
It’s a Beautiful Life
It’s a Beautiful Life
It’s a Beautiful Life
Smile
It’s a Beautiful Life

I’ve been listening to Corrinne May since I was 12 and honestly, she has got to be my favourite singer songwriter around. I love how her lyrics are so heartfelt and simple and how her melodies are just so captivating. Her music play quite a big part in my life especially so after I received the Lord in 2005.
When I look at her, she somehow reminds me of David the Psalmist. David is a songwriter and someone whom God calls ‘after His own heart’. I love David because He is so real - real with himself (his emotions, who he is) and real with God. He acknowledges that he is human and his emotions. Instead of despising the fact that he is emotional, he turns and directs them towards God and allowed God to use him in the area of song writing. David’s songs aren’t always songs that were churned out from his mountain top experiences. His songs are about things that we experience in life, even the issues that he faced in his life! And that is why he is described as a broken man (Psalms 51:17). And that to me is powerful.
Just wanted to share this beautiful song by Corrinne May. It speaks so much to me and when I first read the lyrics without listening to the song, I was like ‘Yes! This is me you are writing about!’.
May you be blessed,
Ariane

YOUR SONG
Music and Lyrics by Corrinne May, ‘Crooked Lines’ 2012
Silent, wordless
Everything was still
You breathed us, yearned for us
Our hearts began to thrill
A brand new creation
A symphony
Written from above
Written out of Love
Let me be Your instrument
Let me be Your voice
Let me be the reservoir
Where thirsty hearts rejoice
Let me be the hand
That wipes the tears away
Oh Lord,
If it be Your will
Let me be Your Song
A violin, a piano
Each one has a role
Major or minor
Or just a single note
So take the time to stay in tune
Cause we’ll never know
When we’re called to play
It could be today
Let me be Your instrument
Let me be Your voice
Let me be the reservoir
Where thirsty hearts rejoice
Let me be the hand
That wipes the tears away
Oh Lord,
If it be Your will
Let me be Your Song
A song of hope for the hopeless
A song of comfort for the pain
A song that warms the frozen hear that
It might beat again
For what am I but a single breath
That only You sustain
The less I get in the way,
The more the Master can let the music play
Let me be Your instrument
Let me be Your voice
Let me be the reservoir
Where thirsty hearts rejoice
Let me be the hand
That wipes the tears away
Oh Lord,
If it be Your will
Let me be Your Song
Oh Lord,
If it be Your will
Let me be Your Song

it’s a painful lesson learnt. and now i need You more than ever.

crooked lines
; corrinne maymy daughter tries to draw a butterfly
with her crayons and crooked lines
and she’s crying ‘cause she just can’t get it rightso i wrap her tiny hand in mine
to guide her with her heart’s design
and she smiles as her dreams take flightperhaps it’s how it is on this labyrinth road
i just need to let Him guide my soulGod writes straight with crooked lines
He takes the mess we make in life
turns our groaning into perfect rhyme
hidden by the veil of time
the wisdom of His love’s design
God writes straight with crooked linesi’ve had days as dark as smoke
when it hurt too much too hope
and it felt like the pain would never endsearching for answers but finding jokes
limping along the winding road
certain He left me all alone…when it’s hard to trust that there is a greater plan,
like a child i’ve gotta just hold His hand‘cause God writes straight with crooked lines
He takes the mess we make in life
turns our groaning into perfect rhyme
hidden by the veil of time
the wisdom of His love’s design
God writes straight with crooked linesit’s hard to see the picture when you’ve got your head to the ground
but the vision is perfect from heaven looking down
there’s a reason for every detour and every scar
His mercy has always been written in the starsGod writes straight with crooked lines
He takes the mess we make in life
He turns our groaning into perfect rhyme
hidden by the veil of time
the wisdom of His love’s designGod writes straight with crooked lines
Well, we can dream.
Avengers was amazing. But it could have used a little more sonic.
He can sonic Loki’s spear of doom.
Uh oh
Last night the moon was the closest its elliptical orbit ever gets to earth
and the deadliest
Party animals
