My Dear- I Know My Limitations- continues

My Dear, I know my limitations
And you're more than I can take
What's more I have reservations
About the choice of friends you make

It's not that I don't love you
You are such a part of me
That the drama that you do
Is just too hard to see

So where does that leave you?
That is for you to decide
You're in need of rescue
Not just where to reside...
But of decisions made inside

This is but your journey
And Christ can give you care
For He knows of all your needs
And awaits for you in prayer

[Verse 1] My Dear, I know my limitations And you're more than I can take What's more I have reservations About the choice of friends you make It's not that I don't love you You are such a part of me That the drama that you do Is just too hard to see [Pre-Chorus] So where does that leave you? That is for you to decide You're in need of rescue Not just where to reside... [Chorus] This is but your journey This is but your journey Christ can give you care Christ can give you care For He knows of all your needs For He knows of all your needs And awaits for you in prayer And awaits for you in prayer [Verse 2] I have stood here with you Through the hurt and the noise Watched the same old shadows Steal the edge from your voice But I won't close the doorway No, I won't turn away I can only speak the truth Then let your heart obey [Pre-Chorus] So where does that leave you? That is for you to decide You're in need of rescue Not just where to reside... [Chorus] This is but your journey This is but your journey Christ can give you care Christ can give you care For He knows of all your needs For He knows of all your needs And awaits for you in prayer And awaits for you in prayer [Bridge] When the road is broken And your hands are full of fear There is still a Savior Who is patiently near Take the step before you Let the old weight fall He will meet you in the question He will answer when you call [Chorus] This is but your journey This is but your journey Christ can give you care Christ can give you care For He knows of all your needs For He knows of all your needs And awaits for you in prayer And awaits for you in prayer

At the door, I stood my ground 
my welcome, for peace only
If you want to be around
You'll need another story

Grandma... seeing your tears
Now chooses to get involved
Your move in soon nears
Love melts what's not resolved

With promises to compromise
Each gave in some hard way
Each with rules that tries
Being careful what to say

The tears melted the ice
Such that friends are welcome... if
They are respectful, quiet, and nice
And grandpa doesn't raise a tiff

As you are an adult
She knows your time's your own
And she'll not add insult
But, if you keep her sleepless, how she'll moan

If you choose drugs and drink
Although it's more than we can bare
She'll not raise a stink
But... some tears she still will share

Verse 1] At the door, I stood my ground my welcome, for peace only If you want to be around You'll need another story Grandma... seeing your tears Now chooses to get involved Your move in soon nears Love melts what's not resolved [Chorus] The tears melted the ice Such that friends are welcome... if They are respectful, quiet, and nice And grandpa doesn't raise a tiff [Verse 2] As you are an adult She knows your time's your own And she'll not add insult But, if you keep her sleepless, how she'll moan If you choose drugs and drink Although it's more than we can bare She, too, will raise a stink And her tears, how she will share! [Chorus] The tears melted the ice Such that friends are welcome... if They are respectful, quiet, and nice And grandpa doesn't raise a tiff [Bridge] With promises to compromise Each gave in some hard way Each with rules that tries Being careful what to say [Final Chorus] The tears melted the ice Such that friends are welcome... if They are respectful, quiet, and nice And grandpa doesn't raise a tiff

Where else but the family
Is there patience, love, and sacrifice
As offspring try amply
It's grandma's home of peace that will suffice

What other institution
Can melt away behaviors
And start peaceful resolutions
But the home a grandchild adores

What other place
Than where aunts and uncles come
And with them cousins chase
Delighting in some fun

In the family line
There are others who too chose
To rebel and give hard times
Which makes yours just part of current news

And in the path of forgiveness
Some how this makes a difference
As so many come to bless
Unto hope of repentance

You saved some of your income
And kept your job as required

You along with some friends

Found a place, for new freedom desired

[Verse 1] Where else but the family Is there patience, love, and sacrifice As offspring try amply It's grandma's home of peace that will suffice What other institution Can melt away behaviors And start peaceful resolutions But the home a grandchild adores [Chorus] Grandma's home of peace Grandma's home of peace It will suffice What other place Than where aunts and uncles come And with them cousins chase Delighting in some fun [Verse 2] In the family line There are others who too chose To rebel and give hard times Which makes yours just part of current news And in the path of forgiveness Some how this makes a difference As so many come to bless Unto hope of repentance [Bridge] You saved some of your income And kept your job as required Then, you along with some friends Found a place, new freedom desired [Chorus] Grandma's home of peace Grandma's home of peace It will suffice What other place Than where aunts and uncles come And with them cousins chase Delighting in some fun

O.k. you moved in with a friend
And your things went here and there
Your car took a nasty end
Too you job... your pocket's bare

Grandma is your second chance
A place to feel you've promise
To lift your circumstance
Look ahead and take notice

You don't have much this time
To unpack in your room
Some friends had been unkind
And sang a selfish tune

Humility and hope
Are the right mixture
To lean towards health to cope
And make happiness a fixture

What better Christmas gift
Than a chance to begin again
And from the past... set it adrift
As with grandma you find a friend
