Thirty and Searching
Thirty candles on a cake
Different life than I thought I’d make
Thought by now I’d know my place
Instead I’m staring at Your grace
Friends are living different stories
Kids and houses, rings and names
I’m still asking where I’m going
Still praying through the same

Thirty and searching
Still learning who I am
Still putting all the broken dreams
Back in Your hands
I thought I’d be farther
I thought I’d be sure
But maybe this wondering heart
Is what faith is for

Daddy’s older, mama’s tired
Time keeps moving, never wired
Every year feels like a page
Turning whether I’m ready or not to change
I held on to what I knew
Held on till my hands turned blue
Now I’m standing letting go
Trusting what I don’t know

Thirty and searching
Still knocking on the door
Still asking heaven
What I’m waiting for
If my life looks different
Than I dreamed before
Maybe different doesn’t mean
I’m lost anymore

You don’t rush the ones You love
You don’t waste the tears I cry
Every season has a reason
Even ones I don’t know why
Final Chorus
Thirty and searching
But I’m not alone
Every road behind me
Led me closer home
If the plan is bigger
Than what I can see
Then thirty and searching
Is exactly where I’m meant to be

Father God, you leave me speechless

Dear Father God, sorry that I’ve been drifting through the hours like they’d never end
Counting every sunrise like a currency I’d simply spend
I’m sorry for the moments that I treated as my own
I didn’t always walk in the light that you had freely shown

You are the songs inside my spirit that I could not find the breath to say
There were some talents meant for glory that I hid and threw away, You’d say,
Don’t let the silence grow too loud, don’t let the rhythm fade
Shame ignored numerous, simply beautiful plans that you had ever made

But your existence is the very air that I am breathing now
I’m sorry that I didn’t show the perfect love that fear did not allow
I pray that when I reach those gates and look upon your face
You’ll smile at your little one and hold me in your grace ☺️

I’m devastated , of all the chances that I let just slip away
To be a beacon of your peace and tell them of the Way
The gospel of your forgiveness, Oh the mercy in your heart
I was meant to partake in your glory but did not know where to start

All the songs I freely sung to show how wonderful you are
To reach the ones in darkness like a steady, guiding star
It’s hard to put in words the way you move inside of me
The author of my soul, the truth that sets the captive free

Because your existence is the very air that I am breathing now
I’m sorry I didn’t accept the love that fear did not allow
I hope that when I reach those gates and look upon your face
You’ll smile at your little one and hold me in your grace 😉

Jesus, I want to fall upon my knees and worship at your feet
To feel the circle of my life finally turn complete
A meaningful embrace, a kiss for the One who gave me life
Far beyond the heavy world, the struggle and the strife
I’ll find my purpose there, where I was always meant to be
In the heart of the Creator who has always lived in me

I’m coming home
I hope you delight in the sound of my voice
Of all the little things
That Bring you joy
Thank you , I love you, Father God you have my life
Amen

Butterflies by Cara Cameron

When you are near me
I feel butterflies
dancing in the wind
Like a whimsical ballet

joy
And my heart beats fast
As I lose myself in the beauty
Of your very essence

Every touch, every look
Sends shivers down my spine
And I can't help but smile
At the thought of you

You are my sunshine
My guiding light
The one who sets my soul on fire
And makes me feel alive

So let me sing you a love song
About the butterflies in my stomach
For when you are near me
I am filled with pure, unadulterated bliss.

Daisies By Cara Cameron
In a field of daisies, I found you
Amidst the petals, white and blue
Your smile shining like the sun
My heart instantly won

With each step closer, my heart skipped a beat
In your presence, I felt complete
Your laughter like a melody
A symphony that set me free

So here's my love song, simple and true
Dedicated to the daisies and to you
Forever in my heart, forever in my gaze
I'll love you, always, through all our days.

Underneath the daisy-laden sky
I knew I never wanted to say goodbye
Forever entwined, our love will bloom
Like the daisies in full bloom

So here's my love song, simple and true
Dedicated to the daisies and to you
Forever in my heart, forever in my gaze
I'll love you, always, through all our days.

Yeah here's my love song, simple and true
Dedicated to the daisies and to you
Forever in my heart, forever in my gaze
I'll love you, always, through all our days.

Mistakes
In life, we all make mistakes
Things we wish we could erase
But time keeps moving on
And we must learn to be strong

You can't go back and change what's done
But you can admit when you've wronged
Mend what's broken, make amends
And move forward, make new friends

With family, it's never too late
To say sorry and set things straight
We can't undo the hurtful words we've spoken
But we can learn from our past, our hearts be open

Life's too short to dwell on the past
We must learn to let go and move fast
See the brighter side of things
And spread our wings, let freedom ring

So let's embrace our flaws and all
And rise up from the fall
We can't undo a mistake, it's true
But we can learn, grow, and start anew.

White dove by CaraCameron
In the sky above, a white dove
Soaring high with grace and love
Its wings outstretched, it flies so free
A symbol of peace for you and me

In the stillness of the night
I hear its song, pure and bright
A melody that fills my soul
Guiding me towards my ultimate goal

Like the white dove in the sky
Our love reaches great heights, so high
Unfurling its wings, it's meant to be
Together forever, you and me.

So let's hold on to this love we share
Like the white dove flying through the air
With hearts entwined, we'll never part
Our love will always be a work of art.

From the first day I was born
You set the electricity in me
That fired my heart and gave me life
What an amazing art, my electric heart

To my dear mom, the beautiful Janice,

In the garden of my life, my mother planted seeds
Nurturing me from a baby to a woman, with all my needs
Her patience and love, a guiding light
Through rough times, she held me tight

Sorry for the times I may have caused her pain
For the moments of ungratefulness, I cannot explain
Her love is like a beacon in the dark
Guiding me back to where I need to start

Her smile, a treasure to behold
A heart of pure gold
I cherish every moment we share
Knowing that she'll always be there

I pray for her days to be long
For her to be blessed and strong
Until the day she meets heaven's embrace
I'll cherish her love and grace

God bless you, mom, forever and always
In my heart, you'll always stay
I love you more than words can say
Thank you for being my guiding way.
