Grit

She never loved me back
Guess it was due to something I lack
Will never know because I do not invade
I’ll just remind you I am still in the shade

On this day I love without reservation
As it was what He commanded the nation
So I feel helpless when I think of her
A certain love tearing me up with a stir

But to heal my heart of all this pain
I must give more love away to keep me sane
Hardship comes in waves and I am surfing it
So show me the love you have even with grit

My soul is burning with fostered desire
To smile with delight and let what follows transpire
I was on my way out when she jumped in front of me
Waving her arms around hysterically

So I read her heart and she was so sincere
I felt her pain if any loss were to persevere
It was more pain I could simply bear
Thus I chose to stay and cut my hair

Shade

I spent my entire life serving God
I will spend it serving Him with laud
The one that touched me so very deeply
Pierced my heart so very sweetly

No one understands this sacrifice I made
They’re in the scorching heat and I am in the shade
I walk with His power and live a life within
They head against me on ice so very thin

Since the power is only His, they always fail
And I am about ready to set sail
For I bore witness to His power firsthand
Wrote the truth and suffered at their hand

Invited

I can feel your every emotion
In the instant you give the motion
To destroy the evil powers that be
It is amazing how much God loves me

I stand alive amidst the walking dead
They are expecting me to break their bread
I did not come to celebrate the victory
I am pacing with patience outside the rectory

I never wanted or expected immortality
Nothing to do with any morality
Just chosen by God to live and explain
Faith by works without any complain

So I chose you to love and you received
But you never gave back so I felt deceived
But whatever it is about without me can still go on
For I am near the edge to step off, I’ll be gone

What I have received comes at an extreme cost
A branch, an outstretched hand, to the lost
Saying I love you because you are you
Did not know that we were through

Still do not know what it was I did or said
Could be anything, I was once dead
But His Fire consumed what remained of me
Letting Him immerse me in Himself completely

Like wine turned to blood
My heart burst like a flood
Revealing in intricate detail
My very weakness without fail

This flaw you decided made me unworthy
To be in your presence, end of story
Wrapped in His light I walk free
Matters not what you say or do against me

I know where I am going and where I am at
The hope that draws up divinity and not just that
But a renewal of spirit and flesh united
To the highest Heaven we have been invited

Matter

You have already caused me so much pain
Does not matter because of what I gain
My suffering extends beyond the grave
And I have always said it is love that will save

My hope in the world is in you and what you do
But because of what I wrote which is true
I am rejected out of hand
Despite my outstretched hand

I give myself over to you to deliver
A message of joy and peace with a shiver
To wake you up from your slumber
As I do not have your number

Intentional

It is, as it were, intentional, the exposition
Puts me in a blatantly unique position
My heart, as it is, is on fire
Spread these flames of love by the way of the lyre

A song to show the meaning of love and not lust
Drawing those closer and closer and will never rust
Those whose love has been crushed and destroyed
Will be renewed when finally deployed

Do you not see the empty hearts longing?
Taking advantage is appalling
I have not a silver tongue to deceive
The truth of this love you must perceive

Unheeded

Hot embers flying through the air
Ashes falling down like snow covering everywhere
Like snow, they stick their tongues out to catch it
To discover the bitter suffering they should admit

The dust of the fallen, forgotten in the wind
I wish this vision I had I could rescind
But it is in the works and on the way
Just when you thought you had a say

My warnings went unheeded is why
And the Lord has heard your outcry
Those who are His will not be afraid
They are the kind that do not need any aid

To stand firm in the face of adversity
With more knowledge than any university
And gifted with godly attributes they roam
With more power than any tome

You ignored me but I came anyway
Appearing in places I have never been, so hey
Like a thief I was never caught stealing
Hearts like an evangelical evening

Graces

Here I am now in your face
Seconds away from grace
To lift us out of this mess
My own fault I must confess

But here is my outstretched hand
Wanting to join your band
Of lovely fools until the very end
Singing songs of love around the bend

I reminisce of the times we will have together
A future I have seen but push away with a tether
Not so distant I can do nothing in that time
Eons are easy to carve in the sublime

I can give the entire world the comfort to gain
The necessary grace to walk even in pain
For I have been beaten up but never lost
No one knows just what it was, that cost

So I walk with the power to live forever
Living where there is life you cannot sever
Your beliefs can only take you so far
Did you know that grace is alive and not far

Scorched Heart

If you look back over the years
I have dispelled all fears
Been living under a mantle of grace
Preparing everyone to ultimately face
An evil that will tear this world apart
I have known this from the very start

As the will of the evil one unfolds
The Will of God the Father is in the holds
A note on the not so distant future is in store
I feel you certainly must know the lore
That I am not what you may think I am
To get you out of this jam

Drenched in His Blood all my fault
You don’t believe I can use a key to a vault
The vault of your heart is like a home to me
Infinite Blood flows through these veins you will see
Grace always sustains but you deny the stain
Then the sky opens up and it floods with rain

I have scoured the Earth with a scorched heart
Believe in God’s message to repent not apart
From the love that is Christ no matter what
I suggest you listen not to your gut
But a heart full of love for all of you
So I claim to be nothing before Him that’s who

Fetters

So close to nature I am bold
Into this life with God I am sold
I will break the captive fetters
By sending thousands of letters

Letters of love and hope without the payment
Free to stay or go beat the pavement
Words flow like honey from my lips
Dripping with the sweet desire to hold your hips

And kiss your eyes and mouth with the truth
Of a long lost love that needs a sleuth
To bring to light the glory of God’s power
While I walk above the tallest tower

Ringing

Time and hate has corrupted my body
Where grace is king and my mind is shoddy
I lost all my faculties and kept holding on
Left the dead for dead and the light had shone

Burned through the pain and suffering
With the hopes you would one day sing
Of the love that was wrenched away from you
Ringing in the ears and revealing what is true

Their Loss

In love I have always been with you
In love do I do the things I do
In love do I hear your voice
In love do I make it my choice

You are special because of the love you have
No cost or price to be cut into a halve
For I am bearing silence like a cross
Toward my end and everyone’s loss

Extreme

Oh my heart explodes with extreme grace
Over something that we all must face
Oh give me a chance to dance with you
In all probability it will never be true

My dreams were snatched from my hand
On this troubled and cursed land
But I still stand tall before the Lord
Not out of pride but out of the love I implored

Gone are the days of old when I could fly
Above all this hatred and gore gone by
My deepest joy is always about you
For you are the epitome of what is true

Alas it is as it was and now I am trapped
Set by the enemy and now I am all tapped
Got no more left in me but His grace
Coasting along this cold and empty space

To Create

Felt the flame of God’s love reach higher
Way above any human made spire
But my anger fuels my fire
To be that which will transpire

I have the power to break into song for all
To dance to the tune like before the fall
There never is a clear winner of what must be
The future of love and life sincerely

I have given all I am to Him and I am Him
This is not a word written on a whim
Hidden but not hidden to all
Surely, I must be the one to call

So let me dance to the tune I create
On this there is a kind of fate
That we will twirl around and feel the vibe
Surrounding me is love and my tribe

Bestowed

I guess there is no one out there for me
On the brink of death, see?
No one is here with me now
So I am really sure just how
I can breathe the Lord’s love so real
Exhaling the power of the seal
A holy kiss is always surreal

Heed to the word of the Lord
Greater than your sharpened sword
You are in the world living it up
Avoiding the poor on your way up
What I like you do not know for sure
Has me submerged in holy water so pure
Has me wondering at what is the lure

I walk among the dead but I have been raised
All of which has already been praised
Forever knowing what is in store
For those among the dead and poor
A range of blessings to be bestowed
A sure love that is to be stowed
Travelling along a difficult road

Burnt

I set my love on fire
So that this would transpire
It burns with certain desire
Chiming in with the lute and lyre

I yearn for your healing touch
As the pain is getting to be too much
For the loneliness of my heart
Is me setting myself apart

I have a heart only for divinity
I looked deep within to find the Holy Trinity
Patiently waiting for me to see
That it is time for love so simply

With you there is no obsession
And no need for confession
He has got my burnt offering
To love you right beyond the ring

No rush as time is on my hands
I will live on forever on these lands
I can find love in the darkest of places
But I am always looking for you in all those faces

Compromise

All my life I have suffered intensely
As everything good comes to me easily
Lucid dreams and concrete beams
Make for one hell of a story it seems

I stood before God for judgement under these skies
Everything revealed, even all of the lies
To which it should not come as a surprise
That We have come to a compromise

The time will come in the future one day
When the evildoers will finally pay
The price for folly over wisdom
As it really makes them look dumb

Frightening

Built on the passion that is our Lord’s
Written with my blood for the accords
They bind us all together in love’s embrace
So agree to peace and love and not disgrace

Look past the illusion of light all around you
I have found your love that makes it all true
What I need is beyond what beauty can provide
For all my love to you do I confide

I have heard and still hear the cries of the poor
Those you will not even hold open the door
My countenance will flash like lightning
It will be very very frightening

Cosmic Sabbath

I have struggled with what weighs heavily against me
No longer chanting what the world must see
The chance to live under Christ’s reign forever
Will be gone for you as fast as it did enter

I know from whence comes God’s wrath
After preparing us for our cosmic Sabbath
A purge to destroy all of the wicked
To also spare those who to His will they submitted

What I have seen I have written for all
It reminds of the time you stood so very tall
A gleam of hope in a world full of hate
God has given you a heavenly trait

To be used by one such as you
To reveal the truth that will ensue
A prophet’s word wrapped in God’s might
Did not mean to trigger in you a fright

History

I am trapped in endless suffering
Collapsed in a heap of offering
A kind of love never understood until now
I give myself over and over, that is how

My immortal soul and now my body
Bound together and out of love embody
The truth of love without exception
To be in love’s wondrous reception

I warn now against your actions
Now all broken up and in factions
That any death by violence is abhorrent
In the eyes of God so here comes a torrent

It was with a bow and a great Amen
And only one knows when
That love returned as Love for all eternity
No one believes, not even the fraternity

But I will never insist and only hint in rhyme
At what truth rests sealed in the history of time
My burning desire is not even my own
But the many seeds I planted have really grown

Shivers

I stood up for myself for my stance with the Lord
But I left them all without saying a word
Did not want to say something I would regret
Love has it’s hold on me and His I get

Had enough of the insolence I found
Despite that ever seeking devil’s hound
I wrench completely free from strife
To be raised up into Eternal Life

I do not impose my beliefs that are higher
But often I am scorned, hated, or called a liar
They do not understand the reality He delivers
The kind of move that gives you shivers
