I wrote this one not really as a congregational one, but more as a song from God to us...telling us exactly how he feels about his children. It was kinda what i needed to hear from God at the time i wrote it, so quite a personal one, but yeah...let me know what you think...any advice would be appreciated!
Slow it down, look around
Say what you havent said, the words trapped inside your head
Rest in me, for i know
The troubles you face today, the memories that block your way
When you feel, so alone
Like the cold of a winter's night, your flame giving up its light
I am there, waiting for
the day that you run to me, i'll pick you up and set you free
My child just hold on to me
Together we'll face the storms
I'll never let you go
I'll be your light, along the path you don't know
Put your hope in me, put your trust in me
And i'll carry you

Hey Ash!
Like you said, feels like a real personal song. If you were to open the lyrics up to be we-us-our, and then change the direction of the conversation to be us->God I think it would actually work for congregations. Just a thought. But its a really nice song because of the personal feel (IMHO), I liked it, particularly liked this line:
Like the cold of a winter's night, your flame giving up its light
Good stuff! Keep it up!
