Nowhereland

Close my eyes, I shout surprise
In my head.
Holy bejesus, head seizures;
I’s travelling again!

God, rescrew it on correctly,
For I want to do all things per-fectly.

So why am I in nowhereland?
Thinking about things never promised me?
Why am I kicking it with unspoken wishes? It
‘s a waste of time, hear the clock chime
Twelve and again I wake myself
In, out of--this is not love, it’s
Nowhereland.

Fun fantasy, who wants to agree
With a waste of time.
Life is short and these trips are worse
Than lima beans or tsetse flies.

God, Your face is really all I need,
So kick me in the head when I disagree.

Cause I’m gassing up the car and traveling so far
Again to nowhereland
Mind’s a blank, just a full tank of gas.
I steady my heart, but then it sprints for the stars—
For a heaven unreal; oh God, what a rotten deal is
Nowhereland.
Eyes on You, God, keep this the truth.
You’ll bring blessings in your time.
So shut me up if you hear me whine.
I trust, I must, You’ve got good stuff
And it’s enough to keep my head instead of traveling to
Nowhereland.

The Thank You Song

Today I'm thanking you
Come wind or rain or shine
Because You are You
I'm not going to let this world stop me
From thank you thank you thank you

Thanks for the check I got for work
Thanks for the books I sold
Thanks for the yogurt I ate that was delicious
Thank you for a brand new set of wishes
I'm wishing on You

I don't care what they throw at me
A dreary world is not my reality
Because I know who You are
And I know the truths close to my heart
And You're pizza with extra sauce
You're a wad of spending money
You're a red convertible
You're a spellbound audience
You're raisin bread toast,
And You're everything....

So thanks, thank you, gracias, merci,
Hats off to Father God,
You rock oh God,
So thank you thank you thank you thank you...
