I won't complain...



There's a praise
That lives deep in my heart
And it says
Oh Lord I love You
I am blessed
When I think of Your goodness to me
It comforts me daily

But there are times in my life
When things don't work out right
And my burdens are heavy
And there's no joy in sight
Put my eyes back on You
For You've always come through
And with this simple refrain
I will bless You, bless You

Lord You've been
Good to me
You made the way
I could not see
Your love came in
And lifted me
And now, I won't complain
Through the years
You been there
To dry my tears
There is not
A closer friend
Than You

Oh Lord You have been
So good to me
More than this world could ever be
I really want to thank You
Lord I won't complain

Lift my hands
Give You praise in the midst of each storm
'Cause You are worthy
When life's sorrows and heartaches rush in
I will remember (You are still worthy)

Let the words of my mouth
Leave no room for doubt
Because down through the years
You've been faithful
And when I think it all through
Oh Lord it's been You
Who's been there all the time
And I'm grateful, grateful

Lord You've been
Good to me
You made the way
I could not see
Your love came in
And lifted me
And now, I won't complain
Through the years
You been there
To dry my tears
There is not
A closer friend
Than You

Lord I know that You know what's best for me
Even when my weary eyes can't see
I really want to thank You (really want to thank You yeah)
Lord I won't complain (Lord I won't complain)

Let the words of my mouth
Leave no room for doubt
Because down through the years You've been faithful
When I think it all through
Oh Lord it's been You
Who was there all the time and I'm grateful

Through it all
Through it all You've been there for me

Through it all
Through every trial, every heartache You've been there

Through it all
Every tear that I've cried Lord You've been there

I lift my hands and I give You the praise

Through it all
Down through the years every step that I had to take

Through it all
You've been there any time I'm falling

Through it all
All You've been there to hold me tight through the crazy times

I lift my hands and I'll give You the praise

You've been good
You've been good when I think of all You've done

You've been so good
It makes me want to shout for joy and give You glory

You've been good
There is no one like You, You've been so good yeah

I lift my hands and I give You the praise

Let's say thank You
Thank You
I won't complain
Instead I'm gonna say

Thank You
Thank You

I'll lift my hands and I'll give You the praise

Through it all
Through it all You've been there every day of my life

You've been so good
You've been so good and I lift my hands to give You praise

Let me say
Thank You (6 times)
I won't complain

Instead I'm gonna say
Thank You (6 times)
I won't complain

Instead I'm gonna say
Thank You (4 times)

Somebody
say it

New Week

I feel so accomplished this morning. My weekend was productive for once. I painted my chair and it is finally in my bedroom. The thing is, I underestimated the amount of paint I would need and went crazy with dilution. My first clue should have been that the original pattern was visible under the paint. I filed it down a bit with sandpaper which took off the color. Then, because I ran out of paint, I wasn't able to paint the seat and instead covered it with an old ankara skirt that I was planning to turn into pillows. I was very disappointed with the results, but it's now growing on me. I might leave the ankara like that or change it for another ankara I have. Lastly, I tried gluing the broken leg in place but alas, it didn't work. I guess I had better just buy a new leg for the chair. My next project is to figure out how to stick mirrors into an old painting. I also need to pick up my hall table from the office where it has been waiting for me all last week. I really wi

2013 already!

I can't believe my last post was in November. Despite my good intentions, December was a wasteland in terms of my writing and life goals. I moved to my new apartment, came down with the flu or rather an influenza like illness, and have just been so blah. The cold weather is not helping either. I really cannot stand the cold, it tends to sap my energy. As always, I have a few goals for the new year. I already feel all kinds of stressed because it is already Janaury 4th and I haven't made any moves. I did do one half hearted workout the other day but it was bitter cold. I could actually feel the cold going through my hoodie, my t-shirt, my skin, my bones and grabbing my heart and lungs and squeezing them to death.  I scurried back home and vowed to buy some winter gear. Total mileage 1.6 miles. Yeah pitiful. My goals this year are simple: 1. Get with God and just delight myself in Him. Ps 37:5. I want to be serious about my walk with God this year. I promised myself last

Writing Life

Last time I discussed my writing, I was moaning about how overwhelmed I felt about editing. Well, this past week I stopped whining and consulted my expert researcher Ms/Mr Google - s/he is an hermaphrodite- and discovered a nifty book called Self Editing for Fiction Writers by Renni Browne and Dave King. This book is so on fire that it impacted my writing before I even received it. How do I mean? Well, I read an excerpt of the first chapter online and realized what was wrong with my own first chapter right away. In a word -well several words- I was explaining too much and not letting the characters live. I was giving all kinds of background and history and what not. A whole lot of info that had me saying in my nephew's voice: "who cares?" I guess the avid reader in me knew the problem all along, but the writer in me resisted deleting a single word. I mean those words were agonized over and carefully chosen by committee. I was loathe to let even one of them go. But I
