Wage War
Jen Hawley @2020
They say heaven on earth
Well where is this heaven?
The only peace I see
Are pieces of you and me
Years and years
Arsenals of accusation
Brick by brick
Blockading our affections
This is where the fight begins
Draw my weapon for the win
Ten paces out, then turn around
It’s time to strike
With no hesitation
We turn on each other
And wage war with the weapon
As the sharp words fly
They rip right through our future
These little eyes they watch
They watch in wonder
Retaliation green light, go
Pride pulls up to pay the toll
We kicked our souls to the curb a mile ago
With no hesitation
We turn on each other
And wage war with the weapon
When will this end?
Can we stop the bleeding?
In our final breath
Will we finally see clearly?
If I look real close
I see your face in my reflection
If we got any life left
Can we drop our weapons?
Here I go I lay mine down
But it takes two guns on the ground
So I ask you, my friend
With no hesitation
Can we turn towards each other?
And wage war on the weapon
Let’s wage war on the weapon
Take a deep breath
Say hello to yourself
I confess it’s easy to hate
But love makes us stronger
I’d rather be a fool to love you
Than choose to pull the trigger
With no hesitation
Let’s wage war on the weapon
Can we turn towards each other?
And wage war on the weapon
Let’s wage war on the weapon
Wage war on the weapon

Think On These Things
by Jen Hawley
Verse lyrics from the hymn "May the Mind of Christ"
written by Kate B. Wilkinson (Public Domain)
May the mind of Christ, my Saviour
Live in me from day to day
By His love and power
Controlling all I do and say
May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour
So that all may see
I triumph Only through His power
Let me think on these things
Think on Your word
Fill me to the full
Change my heart to yours
May the peace of God my Father
Rule my life in everything
That I may be calm to comfort
The sick and sorrowing
Let me think on these things
Think on Your word
Fill me to the full
Change my heart to yours
Let me think on these things
Think on Your word
Fill me to the full
Change my heart to yours
May I run the race before me
Strong and brave to face the foe
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go

Can’t Go It Alone
by Jen Hawley
I can’t go it alone
I can’t go it alone
Be my Rock, I’ll stay close
I can’t go it alone
I can’t quiet my mind
I can’t quiet my mind
Lord, help me to rest
I can’t quiet my head
I can’t go it alone
I can’t go it alone
Be my Rock, Keep me close
I can’t go it alone
Too weak to stand on my own
Too weak to stand on my own
Give strength to these bones
Too weak to stand on my own
It’s so dark up ahead
It’s so dark up ahead
But you are watching my step
When there’s no light up ahead
I cannot see my way home
I cannot see my way home
Love of my life, lead me on
I cannot see my way home
But You are my home
I can’t go it alone
Be my Rock, I’ll stay close
I can’t go it alone
