Lord, You meet me here
You’re with me where I am
Your Love casts out the fear
My heart is in Your hands
With all my broken parts
That caused these fallen knees
I’m weak, this failing heart
Cries out for You, for me
To revive what was lost
In my darkest time of need
By the Power of Your Cross
In Love that sets me free
You meet me here
You’re with me where I am
Your Love casts out the fear
Lord, my heart is in Your hands
Wait for mine
As I wait for yours
In between
Let’s wait on the Lord
Wait until
You find you
And I find me
Who we truly are
Who we’re meant to be
Be patient for
We are weak
Be still for
Our souls must seek
Wait for mine
As I wait for yours
In between
Let’s wait on the Lord
Lord God,
I’m sorry for not being patient
For letting my heart’s desires control me
This heart is yours, with you in heaven
You, Lord, you are my treasure
Only you can take me away from my own mind
Release these thoughts that do not Glorify you
With everything I say and do, may you be Glorified
Lord, praise your name above all names
Teach me patience and dependance on your Word
Nothing else matters but your Truth
For your Truth is freedom in the greatest sacrifice
Of life to save the the lives of the world
Guide my heart and mold me into a man who stands for you
Take away all that I know, for it’s only you that I need
To live, to laugh, and to Love
Lord, my hope is in you
My hope for Love, and a life fulfilled
It’s all in you
In
Out
In again
Out again
In again
Out again
Is this Love?
Or you just in it for the out again?
In again
Out again
In again
Out again
Mountains higher than the clouds
Oceans clashing, spectacular sounds
The world which holds every single life
The universe that contains the stars in the sky
It’s these that remind me how great you are
The grandeur of the universe and stars
Then I realize: the great God who made it all
Is in my heart
Light brighter than galaxies combined
Love beyond the edge of time
Life more beautiful than eye could ever see
All in every moment you make for me
The world’s not calling us to be together
But I’m not listening
Because whatever it says doesn’t matter
What matters is what’s happening
You’re with someone who cares for you
Someone whom you’ve helped to grow
You’re a blessing for any guy it’s true
A fact you’d never admit to know
That’s what’s happening with you
But what’s happening with me?
It’s enough to know the truth
And that’s knowing you’re happy
How do I know that? Cuz’ your smile doesn’t lie
And when I look at you, I see Love in your eyes
I pray you Love through me
So I may Love in Truth
And find myself completely
In Love with you
Over and over again
I’ll Love for you, Lord
Over and over again
Evermore
Nothing in life
Is greater than
Your sacrifice
And outstretched hands
Jesus
By the grace of your light
You bring me back to life
I pray you Love through me
So I may Love in Truth
And find myself completely
In Love with you
Over and over again
I’ll Love for you, Lord
Over and over again
Evermore
This Love is yours
The sound of still
Fills and fills
The nothing
Everything
Words become noise
I’m glad that our choice
Is to hold back and stall
And speak silence in all
Nothing is everything
Everything is here
When all that I hear
Is here, you’re here
Everything is here
When you’re here
Nothing is what I hear
But you’re here
With me
You gave
You simply gave
And loved
You simply loved
And lived
You simply lived
Such a selfless life
Thank you, Lola Mina.
All that you gave shines through all that we give.
Your blessed qualities will live on through the family.
You’re entirely with Love now. Praise God.
Like closing doors, dial tones
Like a wasted Polaroid
Like broken strings, and crumbled stones
Like a vacuum in a void
Then it becomes
Like shooting stars, and new days
Like silver lining parades
Like renewed wings, music plays
Like the sun is here to stay
The star in the day
Reminds me of the stars in the night
The symbol of saving grace
Embraced by the unfailing light
I’m renewed by what you said
To hear you is my choice
Every single time I read
I heard The Truth in your voice
Though it fades, it’s never gone
My weakness brings me back
To your Love that lives on
Even when it’s Faith I lack
I’ll always remember you
For everything you put me through
The highs and the lows
Everything I’ve ever wrote
In all my poetry and prose
In your Spirit that knows
In every melody by your Love, composed
All these which help me grow
Thank you for all you’ve done
Embracing me when I try to run
For a life brighter than the Sun
You are the Son, you are the Son
Oh Loving, Merciful, Righteous
Oh Glorious One
I had a dream of her again
But I didn’t see her face
I don’t understand
She didn’t say her name
It was just us
We were alone
It was enough
To feel at home
Who is she?
What does she want from me?
Why is she in my dreams?
I’m asking incompletely
I hope I dream of her again
And not see her face again
Not understand again
Why she doesn’t say her name
These situations so hard to bear
I don’t know how and I don’t know where
But I feel it in the air
Every breath is getting heavier
Dear Lord,
I’m lost in my own mind
I’m seeking you, help me find
Remind me that you’re here
You’re here with me
Thinking used to be so easy
Until my heart began speaking
I’m yearning for something deep inside of me
Though I don’t know what it is
I surrender all these tears
Now it’s your voice I hear
You’re here with me
You’re here with me
You’re here with me
You’re here with me
Dear Lord,
I’m lost in my own mind
I’m seeking you, help me find
Remind me that you’re here
You’re here with me
Jesus…
Words are only words until animated by deeds
The air is only air until I breathe
Love is empty if nothing is what I do
It’s everything the moment I choose to move
Love is the movement
Love is the revolution
If I’m not Loving, I’m not moving
If I’m not breathing, I’m not living
Faith becomes breath
And the air becomes Truth
Only when I realize I’m breathing you
Because I need you to live
Your Spirit moves
My heart
My soul
My mind
My hands
My feet
Everything
You are the movement
You are the revolution
You are all of this and more
Everything I need
To move for you, Lord
Is to breathe
Is to be
A Revolution
Although the world may try to compromise me
By trying to take away the beauty unseen
And replace it with materialistic desires
That comes from the shadows of my heart
So many ways to go that lead to nothing
If I’m on my own it’s exactly where I’ll go
The sunshine tells me there’s got to be something
That’s not my own but it’s what I need to know
I need to know that I don’t know
I know nothing at all
I don’t have the strength to live a life fulfilled
Unless it comes from the true source of purpose
When I’m moving too fast, I need to stand still
Be calm, relaxed, not nervous
For life is bright just like the sun in the sky
Though the darkness will always be here
But if I turn my other cheek, and open my eyes
I’ll find meaning in the Truth that’s everywhere
The Truth is everywhere
It’s beautiful
Open my eyes
To your life, Love
Open my eyes
To your life
It’s been way too long
It’s finally time
All of my wrongs
Have taught me right
It’s time to be me
At least try to find
It’s time to release
Everything inside
It is time this time
To open my eyes
To the silver line
What I’m into
What you’re into
Is what makes us
Who we are
I Love my passions
I Love the Truth
Love in action
Through me, through you
It is time this time
To open my eyes
To the silver line
It’s time to live
This life of mine
A thousand thoughts in my head
A million pounds in my chest
I’m frozen here on my bed
My heart is begging for rest
You said ask
You said seek
You said knock
My soul is yearning for peace
A gesture with my hands
Brings me to my knees
I pray to understand
Sometimes I’m blind to see
That your Love is Truth
I feel time touching eternity
In this moment with you
My life in your hands
Your Love through my heart
My world alive when I stand
Your way from the start
I’m asking
I’m seeking
I’m knocking
LORD
I submit my heart
I submit my mind
I submit my soul
To Love
My soul is yearning for peace
A gesture with my hands
Brings me to my knees
I pray to understand
Sometimes I’m blind to see
That your Love is Truth
I feel time touching eternity
In this moment with you
I am alive in this moment
My heart is so dry
I’m buried when I fall
In this sandstorm of a life
Am I nothing at all?
The world doesn’t care
That I’m down for so long
Where do I belong?
Where did I go wrong?
I’m so thirsty and falling apart
Fill me, Lord, fill my heart
Renew me with your Truth
That I may find hope in you
To stand in Love continued
I’m reaching for the most beautiful thing
All this praying and aching, I’m waiting
It hurts holding on to my heart in fear
But it’s not my cry but your voice I need to hear
Peace, you’re so quiet, I won’t make a sound
It’s frustrating how the world can be so loud
I don’t want to be one to live for the noise
I’m happy with you as my joy
I’m happy waiting for you, Lord
You’re the strength in my heart
To keep on living quietly in Love
Your Love, Lord, your Love
I am for you, not for the world
You are everything I need
I’ll Love others as you Love me
As you Love the person I’m meant to be
My mind fears the world
My worldly mind
The gravity grips my heart
My worldly heart
I need you to replace all
All the things I hold on to
All the things I fear
Everything that hinders me
Until there’s nothing left but you
Everything I need to know
Everything I need to live
Everything you are
Which is Love
Which is all that I need
You died on the cross
To hold on to me
Holy, oh holy
Love hold me
In suffering you showed
You were there
You suffered for the world
And conquered despair
Your blood for my tears
Your glory for my shame
Is what you give freely
All in your name
Jesus
You died on the cross
To hold on to me
Holy, oh holy
Love hold me
Never let me go
Although I am unworthy
I’ll remain silent
My silence for your Glory
Jesus
You died on the cross
To hold on to me
Holy, oh holy
Love hold me
You give as Love
Love show me
You live as Love
Love hold me
Broken plans on a Friday night
The cold post-Christmas keeps me in
Wearing home clothes for the home life
I microwave dinner and grab a cold drink
Watching TV here alone
Unusual darkness with clattering sounds
Like shattered pieces of crackling bones
Clashing sounds I hear all around
Some rain and ice falls gently
Soothing is the darkened blue sky
My contemplations now tempt me
To think who am I? Who am I?
I’m looking but watching no more
The smoke from my tray dissipates
My mind and soul I must explore
Perspectives now seem to levitate
Time ceases to exist
Happening in a blink
I take me whole and wholly insist
My soul breaks free to think
To find me would be
The greatest discovery
Not through your eyes but mine
Is where I will find…
What I am looking for
The key to open the door
To more and more
Truth that can’t be ignored
Through not the eyes of my body
They only see what is seen
But the eyes of my soul
That sees through the unseen me
To find me would be
The greatest discovery
Not through your eyes but mine
Is where I will find
Love, the meaning of life
I know who you are
I’ve known you for so long
This is gonna’ be hard
So many ways to go wrong
But I can’t avoid what’s going on
I’ve heard you laugh a million times
I can’t get enough of your smile
I’ve grown to love our talks at night
Even if it’s for a little while
You turn my heart into a child
I’ve seen you through many stages
Changes, so many changes
But I’m still here, and so are you
I’m so comfortable here with you
My innocence is what makes sense
Of everything that’s happening
I simply
Like you
If you don’t feel the same
My feelings will remain
I’ll still be me
You’ll still be you
That’s the beautiful part about it
Don’t matter what’s said by the Pharisees
I believe in Jesus, the King of me
Higher politics may be in control
But not of my soul
He showed you and showed me
That we are one body
The ones who reject others from Loving
Have pride worth nothing
They think they know what to do
They tell us what to say
I only listen to God’s Truth
Revealed in peace when I pray
Don’t matter what’s said by the Pharisees
I believe in Jesus, the King of me
Higher politics may be in control
But not of my soul
God’s Love has no boundaries
It belongs to everyone
No one has the power to stop me
May His Will be done
Lord, simply Love
Love through me
Don’t matter what’s said by the Pharisees
I believe in Jesus, the King of me
Higher politics may be in control
But not of my soul
Lord, simply Love
Love through me
I am yours
Time does not define
Love beyond life
Life without Love
Is undefined
Beyond life is eternity
I don’t know how
I can only live for the moment
I can only live for now
Now is a precious gift
It is where I should live
Now offers a way
In exchange for change
Time does not define
Love beyond life
Life without Love
Is undefined
I’m changing
The first time we met
Awkwardness filled the air
But something was there
Something worth discovering
Days, weeks, and months passed
From online conversations
To vocal communications
To lunch on free occasions
We became friends
A bond that bends
But never breaks
Worth not found in mistakes
I greeted you years later
Nothing between us changed
Though life may be rearranged
You’re still you, I’m still me
Days, weeks, and months passed
With scarce words in-between
No need for words of plenty
To say what you mean to me
True friendship is never measured
It’s made, then stored in the heart
No matter how long we’re apart
A friend depends on keeping start
As long as we are who we are
There is no such thing as too far
Heavier than the heaviest
But yet completely empty
The temporary weight of desire
Is what grips me
It’s beautiful but so ugly
Lavish are its offerings
Something so easy to choose
Though always bothering
Everywhere I see, it shows
Fills my heart more and more
Chokes my will until it controls
I need to let go, I need to let go
The surface reveals what is seen
Truth awaits to break free
Like a seed, new life waits underneath
Inside of me, it’s inside of me
Roots to grip the unseen
A tree to breathe Love
No limit to it’s growth
Beyond everything I know of
Where my mind can never go
I will go
Where my soul thrives to be
I will be
After this life, and after all I see
I will see
In Him, I believe
When the light is out
It is there
The brighter it gets
The darker it becomes
The darker it gets
The heavier it becomes
Fading away
It blends into
Everything
Misleading
No path
No way
Movements become
Wasted actions
Wasted thoughts
Emptiness
In darkness
Though it’s empty
It is heavier than the world
There is only one source
Of Light
Only light
Can conquer dark
It shows the way
The only way
But the brighter it gets
The more apparent
Our shadows become
This light is not empty
It gives everything
Colour
It makes everything
Meaningful
Its aura shows the very essence of
What is
The heaviest emptiness
Gets filled
With something
That makes it lighter than ever
It’s best to keep the light in front
And the shadow behind
For the Light shows
What is real
The shadow
Hides the Truth
Open your eyes
I’m down
Battered and so bruised
I’ve got
Nothing left to prove
All that’s
Left for me to do
Is tell you
I’m not worthy, but you’re worthy
My faults
Pushed me far away
My pride
Prevents me to say
What is
Really left to say
Help me say
I’m not worthy, but you’re worthy
My life
Is a part of
The Truth
Found in your Love
Your worth
Means eternity
Lord God
Use me as you please
I’m not worthy, but you’re worthy
All that is of me, take it from me
I’m not worthy, Lord God
You are worthy
Place everything I am
In humility
Everything I am, break apart
As many times you need
To humble my heart
Humble my heart
Time is the line
You are the page
I am the actor
You are the stage
Draw me, Lord God
The pen is your Word
Direct me, Lord God
May the Truth be Heard
You are everywhere
You know everything
You watch and stare
At all my doing
Jesus Christ
Move my life
Holy Spirit
Be my sight
Towards Heaven
Towards Light
Your drawings are complete but never the same
We’re all different but one in your name
Your drawings are complete but never the same
We’re all different but one in your name
I’m fading away from your Love
I’m fading away from your Love
I don’t want to fade away
I need to hold faith and pray
Lord, the world is tearing me from you
Consuming desires of my own
All I can see, is all I can see
God, let your Love be known
I need to see you again
I need to let go more and more
To feel your grace and mercy
Love rise from this silent war
Pick me up, Lord
My strength has failed me
I let the world control me
Take me, Lord Jesus, take me
Love rise from this silent war
So that I may serve you again
Be in all that I give
My Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
Be all that I give
How many times does the Sun have to go up and down
Until you decide to change your frown and come around
Maybe you haven’t told God all that you need to say
There’s always an opportunity in every moment, every day
All you need to do is pray
Then do what you need to do
With Faith
In Love
Never giving up
But giving it up
To God
Always
I come before your cross kneeling
I’m kneeling because I cannot stand
Before I tell about my sins, Lord
Place my heart in your hands
Before I speak, speak to me
Let my pride not intrude
Embrace all I’ve been embracing
Let there be nothing left but you
I’m ready, Lord God, I’m ready
For your Love to replace mine
A Love that’s never unsteady
True Love undefined
I’m going to my secret place
To see you face to face
I’m coming to say I’m sorry
Lord, I’m sorry
Excavate the sins in my heart
My God, all to you I give
My Love, and my salvation
Jesus Christ for you I’ll live
Like a sunrise
Like a flower’s bloom
Like a shadowed sun
Blocked by the moon
It’s so rare to find someone like you
I don’t even know who I’m talking to
Beautiful as birth
Like finding new life
Like finding a gem on earth
Can I call it mine?
Can I call you mine?
I swear when you come
You do it all the time
You outshine the stars
And the sun combined
For it’s a moment in your eyes
Like embracing a dream
Silhouettes and fireflies
Surrounding you and me
You’re like a secret that’s sealed
Are you real?
Is there more to what I feel?
When will you be revealed?
I swear when you come
You do it all the time
You outshine the stars
And the sun combined
You’re the figure in the light
That I can’t seem to reach
Though I’m willing to fight
If you’re what I need
It’s okay for now if you’re not seen
But I swear when you come
You do it all the time
You outshine the stars
And the sun combined
In my head, it’s all in my head
Everything that was just said
She’s all in my head
Day in, day out
Day in, day out
It comes and goes
What’s it all about?
It’s a shame
When some things remain
The same with no change
Change is more than a feeling
Its action in revealing
Meaning
The sun shines
The water flows
The plants grow
For life
Their purpose to provide
For life
We should learn from the sun
And the water
And the plants
How they are constantly giving
For meaning
For life
When fear to live right turns on
In times when it’s easy to do wrong
When all feels lost and hopelessly gone
God will overcome, Love will overcome
It’s so easy to believe what is seen
When they are right in front of me
But there is only so much we can dream
So much we can think, so much we can deem
Faith in the fact I’m too feeble to know
Where human minds can never go
Where all things God makes unexplainable
He makes attainable
It is key to simplify life by giving
Good deeds not in taking
It is in giving we receive what we don’t know
Becomes surely what we need cuz’ God knows
When fear to live right turns on
In times when it’s easy to do wrong
When all feels lost and hopelessly gone
God will overcome, Love will overcome
What happened to the brightness,
Dots scattered that make what night is?
Is it me, or is it the sky?
Are these clouds all in my mind?
Street lights show the roads
But they all seem to end
Erie is the steel and man made holes
I need to see the light above again
Even for just a second
That’s enough to help me see
A star that I pray for me will beckon
To take away the clouds in me
Light, oh light! I need your light
Take me from consuming black
These clouds take away my sight
From seeing you and coming back
During the sun setting night
In summer’s sight of nine
Look to the sky
To find satin-like silky lines
During a time such as this so fine
Light escapes to prove a truth so divine
That all things are dark sometimes
But always end up with a brighter shine
See not the lines but in-between the lines
Live in this moment of time, all the time
See not the lines but in-between the lines
And you will discover the beauty of life
On the sidewalk
I was walking
Looking at places before me
Behind me, beside me
It was so bright and it still shines
Like highlighted borders on shores
Then from corners came a wind’s blow
That I can feel more and more
It carries and helps me move
But sometimes I stand still
Must be my attitude
Must be the thrill
I have to understand
I can’t control the wind
If all I do is demand
I’ll always be in the place I’m in
Let it flow let it blow
Where it’s gonna’ go I don’t know
There’s a seed, let Him lead
Let go and just feel the breeze
It’s not the past or future
It’s the present I need
Let go and just feel the breeze
I could be talking to a friend on the phone
I could be talking to a friend on MSN
I could be walking on the street alone
Her name can break through all of them
Every letter
Every time used in a sentence
Every beautifully sounding consonance
It adds life to air
When it rolls off my tongue
My soul dances as if a song was sung
I see and hear it
So dramatically
I see black lines
Arranged so perfectly
I hear a name
I must express poetically
I feel flying butterflies
In my stomach, physically
A person who fits it in every way
So sweetly resounding it sways
Everything about her I must say
Her name, her name, her name
If there’s one thing that I could do
To help prevent those sleepless nights
And if that one thing is call you
Then I’ll call you tonight
I see the clock which says 10
I’m here for you, I’ll listen
We can talk or stay in silence
If all you need is a presence
If there’s one thing that I could do
And if that one thing is pray for you
I will pray no matter what you’re going through
See the night, look at the stars
Help is not at all too far
If you just reach further
Further beyond your heart
But if there’s one thing I could do
I’ll be happy if it’s me for you
I’m here on clouds in peace it’s true
These clouds are meant for you too
I’m here on clouds in peace it’s true
These clouds are meant for you too
Earthquake!
The world trembles and shakes
I don’t feel it physically
But it brings me to my knees
The ground caves in from under
Shadows pull my feet
But how? If I don’t see –I wonder
What’s happening to me?
Help me, help me, someone please
But how can humans help what they can’t see?
I’m on my knees praying I do believe
Lord, only you can see me
Strengthen my soul, my life
I need your Love to fly
Take me please take me
Above and beyond the sky
Where my feet float above rough
In a place where God is Enough
This is where I need to be
Save me oh, Lord, please save me
Christ is not crisis
He’s what New Life is
Past the chaos and commotion
Full of a True Love’s devotion
Beyond all pride and ego
Beyond all that we think we know
Is where Christ is
Is where Life is
Beyond death
Beyond every breath
Beyond all of this
God is where Christ is
Beyond all pride and ego
Beyond all that we think we know
Let’s get past this crisis
And be where Christ is
Beyond our desires
God inspires
Not us.
This is my Cross
I bear for you, my King
For all that I’ve lost
For all the times I’ve sinned
The world cannot see
That it’s on me
Only you know my pain
Only you can remake
Break me
Lord, remake me
This is my Cross
I bear for you, my King
For all that you’ve done
For everyone’s everything
I carry my Cross
To hear your voice
I carry my Cross
Because I Love you
I Love you…
I Love you…
I’m just an ordinary guy
Who lives by an extraordinary Truth
I don’t have wings to fly
I am, just like you
I’m not way up high
I know nothing too
I’m just an ordinary guy
It’s true
Don’t treat me like I’m special
My worth is not near it
However, my body is the Temple
Of the Holy Spirit
To treat it with respect is what I choose
Love is what I choose to give
A life for Love I don’t refuse
It’s in Heaven that I choose to live
I believe
There’s more to life than what I see
I live for what’s greater than these
Heaven is here
I might not see the Gates, but I see the clouds
I feel the harmony all around
Heaven is here
Here, there is no pride
There is no ego
The inside is outside
All that I’ve let go
Heaven is here
I might not see the Gates, but I see the clouds
I feel the harmony all around
Heaven is here
It’s this place I need share
With those I’m blessed to meet
It’s amazing it’s everywhere
It’s what we call, “free”
I Love this place
I know it’s real
There’s no mistake
In what I feel
Heaven is here
I might not see the Gates, but I see the clouds
I feel the harmony all around
Heaven is here
Please don’t mind
Don’t be confused
Is it a crime
Discovering you?
My intentions are pure
Top of my head speaks
But I still try to endure
Gripping conversation peaks
I just want to talk
I simply want to show
That I do walk the walk
Of things that I’ve said and shown
What you see is what you get
What you hear is what is true
I’ll try not to forget
All I’m learning about you
The surface is nice, but what’s beneath?
Everything worth everything is not seen
That’s where I want to go, it’s where I want to be
When discovering you, discovering me
It’s times when I’m alone
Praying just to you
I feel the peace of home
A home I know she feels too
A place where sirens don’t exist
A place where the Holy enlist
A place where silence speaks loud
A place where worry is not allowed
I cannot question your Will
I can only pray and lay here still…
She belongs to you
So how can I say where she must be?
You’ve always had her heart
So no matter what happens I know she’s free
I cannot question your Will
I can only pray and lay here still…
I cannot question your Will
I can only pray and lay here still…
I’ll keep praying until my heart is filled
The world gives and takes so much away
So does the Will of God above
The world gives what will never stay
But the consistency of God is forever Love
More than I’ll ever want and more than I’ll ever need
Is your Spirit Lord, found through the prayers of my plea
You and you alone can replace everything I see
Only you Lord can set me free
I’m stuck in the things that don’t last
I’m stuck living in the past
My soul is frozen because the world is cold
Melt me with the Truth behind the good you’ve told
One word proves Truth
The word is you
Jesus Christ you died on the cross for my sins
And for everyone and the pain they’re in
Whether they feel it, or don’t know it at all
Eventually everyone feels it when they fall
During suffering it becomes truly evident
That your Love, Peace, and Light are present
If I don’t see You during bad times
Then I’m closing my eyes
If I don’t see You during good times
Then I’m closing my eyes
Everyone in the world wants
But it’s in the dark we find what we need
Always, a path exists for us that is paved
And always, there is Hope that we will be saved
If I fall for
The pretty style you wear
The things you do with your hair
How could we ever be?
If you fall for
The things I say when you’re near
The things I know you wanna’ hear
How could we ever be?
What’s all about you?
What’s all about me?
We got to be a part of what’s happening
–Discovery
If I’m falling for you
And if you’re falling for me
Let’s be falling for the things unseen
The eyes beneath the eyes
The skin beneath the skin
Everything the world is not holding
If you live just for you
Who will carry you through
When you’re through?
Tell me the Truth
There’s more to life than what we see
There’s more to who we’re meant to be
Go against the grain, turn the other cheek
Ask, knock, seek
When time is gone
And if you lived just for you
Who will carry you through?
Tell me the Truth
When I fall to lies
There you still stand
Like the sun on the rise
You rise as light for the land
As you reveal new life
The world is forced to fight
Through faith and good deeds I’ll survive
And continue the battle with your might
What can I do if I don’ t have you Jesus?
What will my life ever mean?
What would I do with all these broken pieces
Of relationships that weren’t what they seemed?
I believe
What’s there not for me to see to believe?
You’re everywhere and everything I need
You’re all that I need
Dear Love,
You’re apparently patient
Though I don’t like to wait
I prefer abbreviations
In doing things my way
What is there to wait for?
When will you show me?
It’s my desires I adore
Why don’t you show me?
.
.
.
Dear Faith,
Are you even alive?
I’ve heard and listened
With my heart and mind
But why can’t I see you with my eyes?
I’ve been waiting and waiting
But you’ve disappointed me
From all this waiting and waiting
Where can you be?
.
.
.
Dear Truth,
I question you
Your existence as something real
I also question too,
Your intensions as good or evil
Where do I look to find
The meaning about about my life?
Where do I start?
Where do I end?
.
.
.
.
.
.
Dear Lord,
There are no more questions for me to ask
You have answered them all
Offered it all with open hands
Answering the call
We are all called to know you
We just need to choose to
Choose the Truth
Jesus Christ, it’s you
The world consumes us until our souls cannot breathe
We become unconscious to what’s right
Unfortunately we deprive our eyes to see
The real foe that we must fight
We must fight the deceiver
The king of lies
Some believe in the true redeemer
Some don’t and will die
The outcome in the end depends
To whom we’ve sacrificed every breath
The choice to attack or defend
For who? To achieve True Life or Death?
Good thing the Truth exists
As real as you and me
You’ll never see it if you resist
So stop resisting what sets you free
Free from tracing lines
Free from wanting all the time
Free from dwelling in the past
And free from pleasures that don’t last
The Truth sets the heart on fire
With flames burning day and night
Constantly destroying desires
Revealing the True Light of Life
The enemy fully consumes and tricks those who don’t believe
But the Truth, it contains no trickery
Only God’s triumphant Love in Victory
Discover Christ
Uncover light
Discover life
Uncover sight
In my worship I see Glory
And in my prayers I find peace
In the scriptures, every story
Tells of how God’s Love we should see
In everything we say
In everything we do
Every single time we pray
Let the Holy Spirit continue through, you
I found God’s Love
And nothing can compare
I live for all of the above
I find beauty that I must share
So listen very carefully
Read with all your heart
Jesus lives to set you free
But without Faith you’ll fall apart
But see Christ’s arms
Always ready for embrace
With the shattered pieces of a broken heart
God’s Spirit revives a new life with Faith
When you end, at any time,
The world ends for you
What will you find?
What will you do?
What good did you do?
How did you live?
Was the good performed by the Truth?
Did you truly forgive?
Did you Love?
How did you Love?
Why did you Love?
Was it for you or for Him?
All these things my friend
You will see them in the end
When you end, so don’t pretend
Like it won’t ever happen
When you end, at any time,
The world ends for you
What will you find?
What will you do?
People can’t see what you pray
But they can see what you do
You have to act upon what you say
For the Glory of God to shine through
Then they will see what you pray
Through the things that you do
Then they will evangelize and say
The Glory of God’s Love is the Truth
Then they will see when they pray
How God’s Love spreads around
To have faith that we will be saved
On the day when the world bows down
People can’t see what you pray
But they can see what you do
You have to act upon what you say
For the Glory of God to shine through
Give to the world what belongs to the world
But don’t become a fraud
Protect the purity of him and her
While giving to God what belongs to God
If money is what you seek
Then money you will get
Yes you will be above the meek
But it’s in the meek where Heaven’s set
If you live for the world
You’ll die with its endeavors
But if you live for God
You’ll live with Him Forever
Once we grasp the Truth of this
All we’ll need is Love to live
And once we have His Love to live
We will have a life to give
I used to be proud to show your face in my wallet
Your student card with your smile so sweet
You took it back, asked for all of it
Now it’s just me lingering in my I.D.
It’s these little things that get me wishing
In these little things I can’t stop thinking
I got to come back to the silent sound
I got to stop myself from spinning around
I gotta slow down
Get on my knees and pray
Listen to the silent sound
Of His voice when I pray
Bring me back to you
I’ve fallen in love too soon
Thought I felt it, but I didn’t
I need to find your love which I’ve hidden
I can’t believe I hid this beauty
You are the one who knew me before me
No one else knows a love that’s True
Teach me how to Love through you
Dwelling on the surface I see
Colourful trees, grass that is green
Dwelling on the surface I hear
And feel the air that is near
I NEED TO BREAK FREE
FROM THESE FANTASIES
And realize that He
Died for me
For a reason
For my sins
I need to stop making the life I live
I need to stop thinking I’m the good that I give
My pride goes as it should
With all that I’ve done and said
Only God the Father is Good
I’m merely a bowl that holds the bread
I’d rather be taken away
I’d rather close my eyes
With Jesus I will stay
With opened eyes in Paradise
I’d rather be taken away
I’d rather close my eyes
With Jesus I will pray
Pray for Paradise
Hurts every time I…
Hurts every time I…
It hurts every time I
Tear my heart to lift it up
But here it is Christ
Take it from me
This is my sacrifice
I need to be free
From my words
From my thoughts
From my actions
From my heart
Only your words are True
Only your thoughts are pure
Your actions are miracles
That my soul asks for
Hurts every time I…
Hurts every time I…
It hurts every time I
Tear my heart to lift it up
But here it is Christ
Take it from me
This is my sacrifice
I need to be free
From my words
From my thoughts
From my actions
From my heart
Only your words are True
Only your thoughts are pure
Your actions are miracles
That my soul asks for
Lord, break me down
Then build me up, it hurts but
Your the only one that
Can take me from me
Break me down
Then build me up, it hurts but
Your the only one that
Can save me from me
Break me down
Then build me up
Break me down
Then build me up
Break me down
Then build me up
Lord, take me from me
Break me down
Then build me up
Break me down
Then build me up
Break me down
Then build me up
Lord, save me from me
Where do we go after this life?
There has to be something
Temporarily closed eyes
Can’t open to nothing
There has to be something…
From this world to the stars
To the infinite skies
From our thoughts pushing far
Each time farther trying to realize
There has to be something…
I don’t want to close my eyes
And see darkness forever
Only He can open my eyes
For me to see forever
What we do now
Determines what we will see
Nothing, or everything?
Just have Faith and believe
There has to be something
There has to be something
because
Something can’t come from nothing
I got to stop thinking of
What I want in my life
I got to start looking above
And not in my desires where lies lie
For the world tempts me in many ways
Through drunkenness and immorality
I have become a playground for they
Are constantly trying to be the death of me
I await the Holy Spirit’s arrival
Who wears God’s armor and Truth
The reason for my survival
And the reason for the good things that I do
My faith guarantees victory
Solely to my King
My God in Jesus through His stories
Who is Love present in everything
I’ll live for you
I’ll die for you
The death of me
Is a life for you
I’d rather live
Through the beating of your heart
I’ll have more to give
In a world torn apart
Take my heart of stone
And break it down
Let it not be my own
But amongst yours crowned
I’ll live for you
I’ll die for you
The death of me
Is a life for you
Take away my eyes
Let me see what you see
It would be no surprise
If all I see is beauty
Take away my ears
Let me hear what you hear
The peaceful voice behind the tears
The sound of faith behind the fear
Melt me with your grace
Mold me with your hands
Embrace me when I praise
Give me your strength to stand
Take away my mouth
Let me speak your Truth
To say what life is about
Can only be said by you
Take away my nerves
Let me feel what you feel
Through the True Love of your words
I will feel a Love that is real
My Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
I’ll let go at the first sight of your eyes
My God, Holy King of all Kings
Take away everything
Melt me with your grace
Mold me with your hands
Embrace me when I praise
Give me your strength to stand
Where do your treasures lay?
Are the in this life
Or in the sky above the skies?
Acknowledge them today
Are you truly content
Living for golden bars?
Have you tried to extend
The silver lining beyond stars?
It’s not our fault
That sometimes we settle for defaults
But it’s our fault
Ignoring to change from the results
You must wonder…
Where do your treasures lay?
Are they in this life
Or in the sky above the skies?
Acknowledge them today
There’s a difference
Praying for our needs
Than praying for our wants
You don’t have to ever worry
For God’s Love is guaranteed
Through Faith it’s guaranteed
Are you willing to let go
Of the strings tying you down?
Let go, please let go
There is no way around
Let your soul fly free
Release…
Fly to the sky above all skies
Be in the light
Be in the light
Let the rain fall
Let the winds blow
I know nothing at all
Where life goes, I don’t know
So let the leaves drop
Let it snow, let it snow
Joy is temporary
When I close my eyes
I don’t feel low and weary
When I let go, and let faith guide
I’ve got a happy soul
That’s a part of my being
I’m not in control
Of what I’m not seeing
Let the rain fall
Let the winds blow
I know nothing at all
Where life goes, I don’t know
So let the leaves drop
Let it snow, let it snow
Life brings gifts
In their truest form
Some might not fit
But everlasting things are usually found out of the norm
Let it fall
Let it rise
Let it call, it will call
Call me on the other side
Let the rain fall
Let the winds blow
I know nothing at all
Where life goes, I don’t know
So let the leaves drop
Let it snow, let it snow
I found it, though it did take a while
I found where the purity comes from a genuine smile
All that is hidden in the Truth wrapped tight
Exposed the light, and fell in love with life
It’s the feeling you get from giving a hand
The satisfaction from offering an ear
The selfless act of helping someone to stand
Sacrificing yourself with intentions sincere
I try to live my life with a goal but in-between
I strive for the truth of all things
I want to live and be in the side that is green
Living here helps me see more of what life brings
I found it, though it did take a while
I found where the purity comes from a genuine smile
All that is hidden in the Truth wrapped tight
Exposed the light, and fell in love with life
I’ve fallen in love
And I’m falling more every night
I’ve fallen in love
In love with everything beautiful in my life
Find it, though it might take a while
Find it in the purity that comes from a genuine smile
All that is hidden in the Truth wrapped tight
Expose the light, and you will find your love for life
The light is in family and friends
It is contained in the hand that you lend
It is in a heart that gives
In a heart that forgives
It is in everyone that appreciates everyday lived
We go through heart aches
Smiling through prayers
Love and heart breaks
The motion of life layers
We will have dents and creases
All a part of the enfolding
Layer over layer increases
On top of a shape constantly molding
We go through heart aches
Smiling through prayers
Love and heart breaks
The motion of life layers
Constantly changing lights
That change the hue
Layers appear over night
That give us a sense of new
We go through heart aches
Smiling through prayers
Love and heart breaks
The motion of life layers
Some with holes
Some not complete
All we have to know
Is they’re there for us to see
We go through heart aches
Smiling through prayers
Love and heart breaks
The motion of life layers
One thing I noticed
While I was walking down the street
Strolling on the sidewalk
Focused on my feet
The thing that life gives
Love is what its called
Its how we paint in time with
Layers of colours on our wall
Changes with the season
Changes in our hearts
Atmospheres that we breathe in
Change the way we see things from afar
We’ll constantly see the shadows
If we give into the lust
We must change what we think we know
And always keep the sun ahead of us
Keep on walking
It’s okay to look at your shoes
The light will show you where you’re going
Just don’t forget to look ahead of you
From time to time, raise your head
Choices are always a head away from you
The past is gone, it has gladly flew
The future is now
Now is ahead of you
Guess it’s really going on
Missing two years in time
As long as you’re gone
I’ll be fine
A joke is all it seemed
That we wouldn’t make it this far
But now on friday the thirteen
What was us, will be the lonely dimming stars
That’s it, that’s all it will be
The past, a lesson, a blessing
No kisses, no roses, no sentimentality
Just a memory of loving
So I guess it’s really going on
Missing two years in time
As long as you’re gone
I’ll be fine
On that day, I’ll lay down
And look at the night sky
One last time I’ll pretend
I’ll pretend to see it through your eyes
Beauty is worth one last glance
It’s worth one last cry
Let’s go for one last dance
With the stars before goodbyes
It’s really going on
Missing two years in time
As long as you’re gone
I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine
As long as you’re gone
I’ll be fine
I’ll be just fine…
I was young, so was my heart
Before, it was never more than a body part
A vital organ that kept me going
Made sure I always kept it from showing
Held in my feelings, I kept my composure
Avoided being vulnerable
Then came her, my heart’s exposure
Released when it became unbearable
Love bloomed
It zoomed
I was all alone in my room
Til’ I cleaned the debris with a broom
In the depths of hearts exists absolute beauty
To find it, you must make it your duty
When broken your chance increases
So look for the diamond in between the pieces
Then drops you through goodbyes
Get up or give up? It’s all up to you
Suffer, or find the things that will get you through
My old heart broke but now it’s new
Was hanging on a wire
Now I’ve let go
Thought there’d be fire
I just didn’t know
Fell for a while with nothing to grab
Except for shadows and air
Along the way, I got stabbed
By eyes with a piercing stare
Just…
Kept falling, and falling
Deeper and deeper
Heart kept calling and calling
Louder and louder
Terrified to a point of cowardice
I was powerless
Until God gave me the courage to rise
And opened my eyes
Everything is now clearly in sight
No more gray, just black and white
Oh, and orange, green and blue
Heck even some yellow too
If you’re always focusing on two
You’ll see just one
Thinking it’s all we need when it’s new
But what happens when it’s done?
I fell into a hole
Thinking it was endless
Became numb in my soul
Hopelessly senseless
Just…
No one deserves to feel this way
To feel doomed when they pray
Constantly against a rope
Everyone deserves a little hope
Be true to yourself
Be true to others
Being true to oneself
Makes a good sister/brother
Just see
Just move
Just be
Just groove
Don’t shove
Just give
Just love
Just live
When there’s nothing left to say
Pray…
The war inside will cease
You’ll repair piece by piece
Pray with all of your heart
And you will find peace
Feels great, but sometimes shines too bright
Dominantly overtakes everything else in sight
Left with just one colour, beautiful for sure
But was it worth all my effort to focus on just her?
The leftovers moved to my blind spot
I didn’t even ask myself why
Or if it was on purpose, was it not?
Guess I decided to use just one dye
Unfortunately it ran out
I squeezed everything I could
To the ends I fought in a bout
To discard it, I knew I should
Looked around for a while with the lights off
In a room I didn’t recognize as home
I opened the exit door and stepped outside
And saw a green field with a rainbow
The beautiful colours overwhelm my senses
So vivid, I now have a spectrum before me
I’m so glad I’ve learned through many lessons
How mixed reds, yellows, and blues shine equally
Inner demons tamper with trust
Self-control, self-combusts
Words said with an unclean soul
Heart becomes black as coal
They instigate out of the blue
And there’s absolutely nothing you can do
They tear you up deep down inside
Causes dynamic emotions to collide
Exhaust the mind to a point of distress
Makes it impossible for one to confess
Everything that’s been bottled for a while
They hide the reasons for you to truly smile
They develop through a course of time
From the depths they lurk, their mission to climb
To the top where the whole world can see
Just how horrible, and deceiving one can be
These inner demons must be kept constrained
If not, one’s life will slowly be drained
If so, one’s life will be changed
…for the better.
