Sunrise kiss me, sweet, back to bed I wanna go back to sleep Sunrise kiss me, sweet, back to bed I wanna go back to sleep I've got all my reading and writing to do At the hem of cuckoo When the morning light's through my window But could I instead, Could I simply go back to bed? Sunrise kiss me, sweet, back to bed I wanna go back to sleep Sunrise kiss me, sweet, back to bed I wanna go back to sleep I should be praying and waiting, I know So I can get to know This God that I love and follow But today I'm spent Can i simply go back to bed? Sunrise kiss me, sweet, back to bed I wanna go back to sleep Sunrise kiss me, sweet, back to bed I wanna go back to sleep Dolce far niente lulls me back to sleep So I silence the beep of my alarm clock at 630 And I savour rest I simply go back to bed

Gracewalk 04:49
In all that I do, may I do it for love With nothing left to prove With no fight to 'Enough' Just the knowledge that, in everything, I am full I am loved by my God I am graced to be good In all that I do, may I do it for love With no voice hounding me about what I'm yet to become Just the knowledge that life is all progress and such May I progress in peace May I progress in love Life is a gracewalk Life is gracewalk It's an adventure to leave here It's an adventure to believe Him En todo lo que hago, lo haré con amor No tengo nada que demostrarle a nadie Porque tengo su gracia rodeándome Soy amada por mi Dios Soy amada por él Un paseo en gracia Un paseo en gracia Es una aventura, esta vida Con Dios es una aventura

I think there's a thought of you At the back of my mind Scratchy piece of paper Crumpled in a corner With your name on a line Swing until we overdose on laughter, darling That was our style Walk into the dark and talk for hours, darling That was our kind I think there's a thought of you At the back of my mind Polaroid picture hidden under clutter With your face close to mine Talk about the way we love to love, oh darling That was our style Then let each other down push came to shove Oh darling, that was our sign That things wouldn't work like we wanted them to You're the first, you're the first, though not the last You're the first, you're the first, though not the last And my heart may not forget so fast Oh my first, oh my first though not the last I think there's a thought of you at the back of my mind You came when my heart relearned to be courageous You came quite like a crime Awakening a part of me I've tried to lull to sleep with lullabies But I will not despise the past Nor will you I despise Though things didn't work like we wanted them to You're the first, you're the first, though not the last You're the first, you're the first, though not the last And my heart may not forget so fast Oh my first, oh my first though not the last Oh my last, oh my love Oh my heart, get excited Oh what lasts, that is love Oh my heart, be reminded

As a new day comes And the old one passes away Mercies are new And the window panes are alight with a Love Song And they sing, "Turn your mistakes into birds"

Arrow 04:29
Since I was young with wide-eyed wonder, I wondered With throbbing heart that beat out rhythms and questions Oh what is this longing for love I hold? Longing rocks my very soul It carries on with every blushing daybreak It carries on as the night winds fade Oh my heart is an arrow Oh my heart is an arrow Oh my heart is an arrow Pointing right to You Pointing right to You His hand to hold and butterflies as he moves close Are but a shadow of a mystery I long to know Oh what is this longing for more I hold? Longing cuts me to the bone It carries on though my heart breaks It carries on though my mistakes Oh my heart is an arrow Oh my heart is an arrow Oh my heart is an arrow Pointing right to You Pointing right to You Sunrise and pink horizons Romance me like a silly child My heart is a love letter Sent from the one who paints the sky Oh my heart is an arrow Oh my heart is an arrow Oh my heart is an arrow Pointing right to You Pointing right to You

Oh my courageous heart You are a brave heart And I am a full on prophet Oh my courageous heart You have the highest call To give you up to another Oh my courageous heart Nothing's worth much at all Without a little danger Oh my brave heart... Oh my courageous heart Paint with your wings of love For you are a cageless bird No need to stand on guard You have the highest call Give yourself over to another Don't you be worried by The hurt that may arise When you pour yourself out Oh my courageous heart Nothing's worth much at all Without a little sacrifice Oh my brave heart... Oh my courageous heart One thing, before I depart, Don't get caught up in your own mysterious grandeur You are a tiny star, made much more beautiful, When you learn to dance with the constellations at midnight Singing "Oh Jupiter, you're beautiful. Oh Dipper..." You are a wild one You are a castle You are the arms of your God

I will love you still Through the quiet and the quarantine I will love you still Even if we don't get married in a church Let's go, courthouse, or backyard groves Let's go, back porch, or a street in the middle of nowhere I will love you still Even if we don't get married in a church What's forever but sweet, And sighs, and sleepovers with your best friend? Let's go, courthouse, or backyard groves Let's go, back porch, or a street in the middle of nowhere Let's go, go build a home, your hand is my home Let's go, go build a home, your hand is my home Your hand is my home Your hand is my home Your hand is my home Your hand is my home

Healing 03:59
There is a healing in this place There is a healing since You came Watch how the fear shrivels in pain There is a healing There is a healing in this place Done the depression that dug like spades Done unforgiveness that kept us caged There is a healing Spirit of Love, come down colourful Like the skin of Grandmother's arms We welcome the healing There is a healing in this place There is a healing since You came I know my worth, I trample shame There is a healing Spirit of Love, come down colourful Like the skin of Grandmother's arms We welcome the healing Spirit, oh come down with healing Spirit, oh come down with healing Spirit, oh come down with healing Spirit, oh come down with healing Spirit of Love, come down colourful Like the skin of Grandmother's arms We welcome the healing

Daddy, I'm scared of the word 'home' The word's always let me down I'm standing right here in familiar But still feel lost, like a beggar in town He said, “Daughter there is no danger Greater than the one you paint with your fears So darling let truth be your anchor And watch all your doubts disappear Oh daughter, my heart’s your home Oh daughter, in me you're not alone.” And right there I let go my anger And tossed it out into the seas And right there I let go my offense 'Til my heart was light as kite paper in breeze And right there I felt no danger Cuz fear finally ran away With his tail between his legs And his head bowed down in shame Oh father, my heart’s at home Father, in You I'm not alone I'm never alone You are a sturdy old cabin that I can hide in, under a blanket While sipping hot chocolate by a fireplace So safe and warm, I'm safe and warm in my father’s home I’m safe and warm Oh father, my heart’s at home Father, in You I'm not alone

Here you are, I see Your Son Here you are, I see Your Son I don’t want to lose a glimpse I don’t want to lose a glimpse of Your Son Radiant One since earth was young Since dust has longed for Redemption’s song I don’t want to lose a glimpse I don’t want to lose a glimpse of Your Son There is no life I found No life I found No life this side of sun There is no life I found No life I found No life I found outside Your Son The fool, he says “There is no God” The cynic says, “God is not love” And so he just drugs himself Numb enough to soon forget what love does There is no high I found No high I found No high this side of sun There is no high I found No high I found No lasting high outside the Son To the girl who’s running from herself With another man on her shelf, See the Son To the man who is blind to His hand With a heart colder than avalanches, See Him now Open your eyes to the Son God open their eyes to the Son

about

Someone recently reminded me of what artists do when they make a mistake on their canvas. They turn their mistake into birds. I felt so inspired by that concept because I think in life, it is so easy to be debilitated by imperfections and mistakes.

For so many people, 2020 felt very much like a year of coming face to face with internal messes. But I was grateful that, out of some of my messes, came some birds that I'd love to share with you.

This mixtape is beautiful because God's creativity fueled it. This mixtape is flawed because my own humanness touched it. However, it has been a labour of love and a challenge for me. I started creating this months ago and got very much debilitated by all the things that I felt like wasn't coming together. But, just like the saying, I was able to turn the mistakes into birds and craft something that is at least beautiful for its honesty.

This collection is an honest depiction of love, growth, change, healing, heartbreak, wondering, wistfulness, faith and anything else in between. My hope is that each listener would be able to find themself tucked deeply inside at least one of the songs on this acoustic mix. May these become heart songs for you.

If you enjoy it, I'd love to hear about which songs impacted you! If you'd like to financially support my music, please do so through your purchase price, which can be from zero to$100 or anything you'd wish to support me with. I'd love to continue creating these, and hopefully a full studio album! That's been something on my heart for some time now.

Much love my lovelies. Share these songs with friends who may benefit from them. Thank you for your support!
