Only Love Remains by JJ & Dave Heller
Scenes of you come rushing through
You are breaking me down
So break me into pieces
That will grow in the ground
I know that I deserve to die
For the murder in my heart
So be gentle with me Jesus
As you tear me apart
Please kill the liar
Kill the thief in me
You know that I am tired of their cruelty
Breathe into my spirit
Breathe into my veins
Until only love remains
You burn away the ropes that bind
And hold me to the earth
The fire only leaves behind whatever is of worth
I begin to see reality
For the first time in my life
I know that I’m a shadow
But I’m dancing in your light
Teach me to be humble
Call me from the grave
Show me how to walk with you upon the waves
Breathe into my spirit
Breathe into my veins
Until only love remains

Beautiful is...being able to genuinely appreciate art of fellow artisans & realizing there's so much more growing to do & being unfraid of it!

Beautiful is... looking beyond the outside to what is REALLY important and what REALLY matters most... all the goodies on the inside! :)

Beauty is an inside job. When you feel beautiful, you are beautiful, old, young, man, woman, it matters not. True beauty shines from the soul through the eyes into those hearts around you.
Beauty is what Beauty is..

Beautiful is the way a rain drop looks when it's about to slide off a leaf, the scent of cinnamon, the sound of shared laughter between a parent and a child.
