Poem #1


This is a call for all of us. Individually, and as a body of Christ. THIS is the calling of all of us. To live a life of worship. To be set in motion of praise and fulfilling what Jesus has beckoned us to. To be lead by the spirit and spread HIS name. Make HIM famous. Here it is ;) Enjoy, and feel free to comment. I'd leave to hear your thoughts.

"Set Me In Motion"
Words Written by - Rhyan K. Shirley


I'm Paralyzed by You
Yet You set me in motion
To the nations of Foreign oceans
Every tongue of ever land
Outside my comfort
Inside the security of Your hand
How can I explain You mystery?
You breathe words into my soul
To be exhaled to that all may know
The power of who You are
I can't even stand before all I see
On my face
At Your feet
Realizing
This. Is. Only. A. Glimpse.
Unable to fathom experiencing You with every sense
Taste, touch, sight, smell and to hear....
To hear the songs sung
With passionate reverence
No more repentance
To join the angels
As unworthy as I to carry Your sandals
Every fiber You've made
In me longs for that day
But till then
Set me in motion
Lead this dance
Being reborn to second chance
I'll share ever letter of your sacred text
Not not knowing what adventure in life is next.
Unashamed
Unafraid
You're the One
Who has made
Someone unworthy
Unlikely
To do something great
A steward of salvation
That is my fate
And as such..
I'll watch
As You wipe away tears
Simultaneously casting out fear
I'll smile with you
As the broken, unwanted
Come running to You so You can call them adopted
And here again I stand in awe
Paralyzed heart
Half open jaw
But You set me in motion
I can't just be still
I'll speak loud YOUR name and YOUR fame until
All motion stops
My breath and my feet
I'll tell the whole world
Till I have nothing left.

SONG #1

Hey Guys!! So I decided to take the advice of some friends and start a blog. On this blog I'm going to be using this as a way to share my heart,  some new songs AND LRYICS!! haha I know you guys have been wanting those...sorry. I suck at replying on Twitter haha BUT here it is!

SONG #1
 "Be Still"
Written By: Rhyan K. Shirley

I wrote this song for a homeless women I met in Paris France. She changed my life. Her honesty and hopelessness stirred in me a deep desire for no human being to ever feel that way again. I wrote this song for her hoping she will be some miracle hear it. I never saw her again after that day and I have no idea what happened to her, but she now knows the name of her hope.. One day I pray that she believes it.

V1:
Settle down weary eyes
search no more

settle down frantic heart
I'm here to calm the storm

be still
Be still

CH:
You don't have to run anymore
just fall into my arms
You don't have to fear anymore
I'll never break your heart
You don't have fix anything
I want to meet you where you are

Be still
Be still

V2:
Settle down you feel like you're drowning
but I can walk on water

Settle down you feel orphaned abandoned
but i call you my son i call you my daughter


Be still
Be still
Be still
Be still




CH:
You don't have to run anymore
just fall into my arms
You don't have to fear anymore
I'll never break your heart
You don't have fix anything
I want to meet you where you are

Bridge:
I know 
this pain is too much for you
I know 
you don't believe that this love is true
this darkness is thick 
but I can pierce it
 I can be your light

CH:
You don't have to run anymore
just fall into my arms
You don't have to fear anymore
I'll never break your heart
You don't have fix anything
I want to meet you where you are



Be still
Be still
Be still
Be still
