A Prophet Scorned

Been standing in the fire and I remain unharmed
The Lord watches over me and I am unarmed
I announce Him as my King for I can see
The future beyond this standing tree

My branches holding birds and flowers to feed bees
Branching out into the unknown full of decrees
Positing knowledge of divinity for their own sake
Admittedly renouncing anyone that is fake

The journey has brought me close to Him
We are forever changed and the future still grim
Gonna take an army you cannot see or know of
Hidden behind a veil you cannot pierce without love

Never gonna be shots in the dark with me
His undying faithful power through this gift you see
Is untapped, alone, and totally free
Alone with my suffering in total agony

It just takes a moment of rejection
To set yourself against an unction
That would give you powers beyond belief
Powers that to many would be a relief

But ignorance persists and invades your mind
Filling you with false justifications you will find
Dragging you downward into the dirt
Then you will lose your shirt

The powers that God grants are by faith and love
Given to those who ask it of Him through the Dove
What God gives He does not take away
I am living proof of it and I am here to stay

But people are riddled with the tendency to hate
Out of jealousy and what I do makes them irate
I love them despite their glaring eyes
Knocking me down into the mud despite my cries

They kick me while I am down in His name
And they hope it will be the ultimate fame
That propagates their own like some game
But the Lord sees right through the abusive gain

Twilight in the winter
On a cold and clear night
Bands of black, blue, and orange
Bound together across the sky
Wisps of sunlight glowing right through
With the darkest night behind me
I think with you I am not quite through

My body churns out pain and suffering galore
With Christ, there is always something more
Nobody knows who it is I suffer for
I yearn to be remembered by God and more
Boldness without faith and love is as bullheaded as a door
But to you my love, I beseech you and I implore
Enter into my heart while we dance on the floor

I can see my age shining through like slate
The greys are early and the wrinkles are late
I stand tall before the Lord only by His grace
This can be something you ultimately face
A way of living by love’s roots in God
From a large crowd you will all applaud

My thing is that I am filled with love so bright
To withhold it from you or pour it out is my right
Should you see it for yourself the acts bestowed
By my sacrifice, nothing I am owed
For I became nothing to let Him become me
Lo, I looked and behold He has set me totally free

Deification, my love, comes with a wave
Got just the thing you ultimately crave
A joyous exultation with heavenly praise
Living as a torch beyond your days
Forged in the furnace of creation
A real perfect love combination

Love does not decide anything, it just is
Without it, you cannot be His
Love itself, I must say has inscribed so deep
Your love’s condition, that I must weep
So reel me into your music and arms
And set off all my silent alarms

I walk the earth wrapped in suffering for you
I love you no matter what you could do
This notion does not make it to your heart
Instead it rejects me from the start

But hope always remains eternal
Though your thoughts are mainly carnal
Poured out here is a gift not just from me
But the God of gods, alas the Jesse tree

Your love means everything to me I must say
Journeying thousands of years in a day
I rest my soul on love itself and am comforted
My heart into your submission was jolted

My joy is complete when you ring me up
To share with you love’s divine cup
But I know that what was written was lost
Hard to make that call, so great a cost

I’ve journeyed across time and the cosmos
To find you and your love I adore the most
Such gorgeous eyes that radiate joy
That I would even let you use me as a toy

I plan on loving you every day and night
Despite what feelings you may have in flight
I reach for gentle forgiveness over violence
Thought you should know, if you’re on the fence

Gravity is grounded in matter
I am grounded in love, not the latter
No imagination can conjure the absolute truth
Truth that remains and is like a sleuth

To permeate the far reaches of the earth
Dancing with love’s curves before a hearth
A supernaturally strong heart that leaps
With the faith of a God that reaps

What I see is amazing and through God’s eyes
I turned and looked to catch your glance that cries
Cries out with agony over a denial of a certain kind
In your eyes are the jewels of your soul, I find

Pierced by the cry, the agony sustained forever
An offering acceptable and I will never sever
My love it lasts infinitely longer than what you think
I lift up what is accepted in a humble drink

Did you know that love is greater than diamonds?
You cannot hide in mountains or on islands
His divine will is love so I can and will never lose
Inklings turned to words that I so best choose

I want you to know that I will die before I deny
God’s love in the fashion that He serves, I try
But I got all this from one look that entirely shook
That I had to write it all out more than a book

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
