On Your Side (Original Song)

I uploaded a new video today!!! Finally! It's one of my original songs. I wrote it a couple of weeks ago. The house was empty and silent. So I brought out my Yeti, turned on my computer, grabbed my guitar, and well, see for yourself. I hope you like it! I had fun making it. :)

 

 

On Your Side

 

When I wake up in the morning
Whether sunshine or it's pouring
All I want to do is be with You
No matter what I'm going through
If it's right or if it's wrong
You are the only song
Fill me up with all Your love
In Your arms

CHORUS
Lord, stay with me all my life
Hold me, keep me in the light
I praise You every day and night
Thank You for the will to fight
On Your side

Through the good times and the bad
When I'm happy, angry, ecstatic or oh so sad
I know You're there, I feel You Dad
Holding me tight
In Your loving hands

(chorus)

When it all comes down to it
By Your side, I'm sure to win
The battle's raging, forever I chose You
Yeah, You chose me too

(chorus)

Lord, stay with me all my life
Thank You for the will to fight
On Your side

Yeah, I'm always on Your side
And You're on mine

Song of the week:

Hide Your Love Away - Anthem Lights

"Wherever you are right now, you're already the love of my life."

Here's a lyric video of the song.

I don't know your name yet
I've never even seen your face 
I'm looking with my eyes wide open 
Til I find you in the right time and place

Hide your love away
Wait for me, wait for me
I will do the same
Wait for me, wait for me
There will come a day
When i will finally say
Staring in your eyes...

I've waited my whole life for this night

Every day you're prayed for...
I'm dreaming of you every night
Where ever you are right now
You're already the love of my life 

Hide your love away
Wait for me, wait for me
I will do the same
Wait for me, wait for me
There will come a day 
When I will finally say
Staring in your eyes...

I've waited my whole life for this night

I'm holding on for you 
My heart belongs to you
You're everything that I adore [2x]

Darling your love is spoken for

Hide your love away
Wait for me, wait for me
I will do the same
Wait for me, wait for me 
With every breath you take
Wait for me, wait for me
I will do the same
Wait for me, wait for me
There will come a day
When finally I say
Staring in your eyes
I've waited my whole life
Staring in your eyes...

I've waited my whole life
For this night

I don't know your name yet...

Anthem Lights talking about the meaning of the song

Good Company

After church, my belly and back were very sore. We had a little "Baby Shower-ish Celebration" for someone at Taco Bell/Pizz Hut at the mall. But due to my soreness, I ate a Panda Bowl of Mixed Veggies and Mushroom Chicken. Yum. And I got a sweet fortune. My sister and I went straight home afterwards since I wasn't feeling too hot. I fell asleep. When I woke up, Tokyo Drift was starting on TV. So we watched it. Man, I forgot so much of that movie! Now I remember.

"Good company" always reminds me of that song Good Company from the movie Oliver and Company. I LOVE that song! It would always make me cry for some reason. Gosh! It's so stinkin' cute! That little girl!

You and me

Together we'll be

Forever you'll see

We two can be good company

You and me

Yes, together we two

Together, that's you

Forever with me

We'll always be good company

You and me

Together we'll be

Forever you'll see

We'll always be good company

You and me

Just wait and see

Goodnight Oliver

Anthem Lights

Yup! My legs are killer! I could hardly walk. But I woke up. I went out. And I did it. Kaleo came with me this morning. So that was nice. Sister bonding time.

Okay. I love Anthem Lights. New favorite band. I am so happy that I found them. Anthem Lights is a Christian band, and I love them. Their original songs are so good. I love singing them and worshipping God. They also do covers of popular songs. They do them once a month. So people who don't normally listen to Christian music will stumble across their covers, and perhaps listen to some of their original songs. And da da da yeah. Great idea. All for the glory of God. Here are some of my favorite covers. Watch them and you shall see what I am talking about! Watch them all! Better yet, visit their YouTube page and watch every single one of their videos!

This is the first song I ever heard them sing. It came on my Phillip Phillips Pandora Station while my sister and I were cleaning the classroom. We immediately stopped what we were doing and just listened. In love, we fell! So this song will always have a special place in my heart because it's how I FINALLY listened to, and fell in love with Anthem Lights.

"Call me maybe at a payphone wide awake and standing on a starship waiting while we're young tonight." :)

"Heaven's got a plan for you."

"You are loved. No mistake. You are perfectly made."

Can't Get Over You

Song of the week:

Can't Get Over You - Anthem Lights

"I can't get over the way Your love stays the same, oh Lord."

Here's a video of their acoustic performance of this song.

I love the way You love like no other
It's got nothing to do with anything that I do
Time and time again You forgive me
So this time I choose to stay here with You

Hold me
Pull me just a little bit closer
I don't wanna lose this moment
Your love has covered me
And now I can't get over You
I can't get over You
I can't get over You
I just can't get over You

Here in the arms of my Father
Only grace can be found
So I lay my fears down
Nothing is the same anymore
You've changed me from the inside out
Now my heart is beating and it's singing won't You...

Hold me
Pull me just a little bit closer
I don't wanna lose this moment
Your love has covered me
And now I can't get over You
I can't get over You
I can't get over You
I just can't get over You

I can't get over You

I can't get over the way
Your love stays the same, oh Lord
I can't get over the way
Your love stays the same

Even through the good and the bad times
You stay the same
So my song will remain
Lord...

Hold me
Pull me just a little bit closer
I don't wanna lose this moment
Your love has covered me
And now I can't get over You
I can't get over You
I can't get over You
I just can't get over You

I can't get over You
I can't get over You
There's nothing I can do
I just can't get over You

I can't get over You

I Want Crazy

Song of the week:

I Want Crazy - Hunter Hayes

"Love don't know what distance is."

Here's his official music video :)

I'm booking myself a one way flight
I gotta see the color in your eyes
I'm telling myself I'm gonna be alright
Without you baby is a waste of time

Yeah, our first date, girl, the seasons changed
Got washed away in a summer rain
You can't undo a fall like this
Cause love don't know what distance is
Yeah, I know it's crazy

But I don't want good and I don't want good enough
I want can't sleep, can't breathe without your love
Front porch and one more kiss, it doesn't make sense to anybody else
Who cares if you're all I think about,
I've searched the world and I know now,
It ain't right if you ain't lost your mind
Yea I don't want easy, I want crazy
Are you with me baby? Let's be crazy

I wanna be scared, don't wanna know why
Wanna feel good, don't have to be right
The world makes all kinds of rules for love
I say you gotta let it do what it does

I don't want just another hug and a kiss goodnight
Catchin' up calls and a date sometimes
A love that revels and stills believes
We're the kind of crazy people wish that they could be, yeah

Oh, I know we're crazy, yeah

But I don't want good and I don't want good enough
I want can't sleep, can't breathe without your love
Front porch and one more kiss, it doesn't make sense to anybody else
Who cares if you're all I think about,
I've searched the world and I know now,
It ain't right if you ain't lost your mind
Yea I don't want easy, I want crazy
You with me baby? Let's be crazy

No! I don't want good and I don't want good enough
I want can't sleep, can't breathe without your love
Front porch and one more kiss, it doesn't make sense to anybody else
Who cares if you're all I think about,
I've searched the world and I know now,
It ain't right if you ain't lost your mind
Yea I don't want easy, I want crazy

Yeah, look at us baby, tonight the midnight rules are breaking
There's no such thing as wild enough, maybe we just think too much
Who needs to play it safe in love…
Let's be crazy!

Who cares if we're crazy, we gotta be crazy
I know that we're crazy, so let's be crazy
Yeah…

Oh, Biscuits

I've been typing up progress reports for the past two and a half hours. My hands are getting a teensy bit cramped. My eyes feel zoning. And I don't really feel like typing anymore. Haha. But I am anyways.

We made biscuits today! Fun food prep to go with our class book, If You Give A Bear A Biscuit. It's a very cute book, and the biscuits were absolutely delicious! They were the Red Lobster biscuits. Oh yeah!

I love Demi Lovato's new album, Demi. I've been listening to one song for the past two and a half hours. So it is obviously my current song of the week. It's so catchy! I loved it the moment I first heard it. :)

Really Don't Care - Demi Lovato ft. Cher Lloyd

Pandemonium & Chocolate Chip Cookies are Fine By Me

Today we made chocolate chip cookies! For our Storybook Share Day tomorrow. I clock in for for work and my mom says, "Kiko, can you makes cookies or something with the kids for tomorrow's share day?" I obviously reply, "Yes!" I magically find two eggs and the recipe for Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookies on the back of the large package of chocolate chips we have. We had all the other ingredients. Success! So we had our second food prep of the week. Cheehoo.

Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver. I told you about it yesterday. Remember? Well, I finished listening to it today while I was on my break at work. Aaaahhhhh!
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!! He's ALIVE! I knew he would be. I knew that he could not possibly have died at the end of the first book. I couldn't believe it. I wouldn't. I knew that he was alive and that he'd come back. As Pandemonium went on, and Lena and Julian started to fall for one another, even more I knew he was alive. I was like, OMG, he's going to come back at the end of the book, but Lena and Julian will be together. He will come back. I knew it would be this way. I had a gut feeling. I just knew it! And I was right. So happy, she was promising Julian they would stay together. "You and me. I promise," she said. "Don't believe her." Hardened, stony eyes. Auburn hair. Boy brought back from the dead. Alex. Gaaahhh!! I need Requiem now! I have no idea what's going to happen next. I am very VERY excited to see...

"If you want something, if you take it for your own, you'll always be taking it from someone else. That's a rule too. And something must die so that others can live." -Pandemonium

"That is what hatred is. It will feed you and at the same time turn you to rot. It is hard and deep and angular, a system of blockades. It is everything and total. Hatred is a high tower." -Pandemonium
