Dark

What I said was in the darkness
Does not mean what I said was dark
Rather especially toward revealing the light
The one love that is true

But when I spoke in the darkness
The Word became the light
Filling up so ever bright
Making everything sound and right

People believe because they are free
Without imposing those beliefs
Progress is made towards a true life
Preparing to see His Holy Face alright

Gist

Friendships and ventures
More than just adventures
Memories of meaning
Love deeply teeming

Others like to twist
Truth no longer the gist
Resorting to crashing and bashing
Like a frightened cornered thing

But mercy absolves the sinner
Granted by God and me together
Come to us as you are
To Heaven you are not far

Repeat

Put your song on repeat
Looking for something to defeat
Found your pride as big as your head
Poured out all my love instead

When will you be
That which you see
That which you dream
That light to beam

Take these brief expressions
Open up in those sessions
Grant favours to the unfavoured
A possibility untethered

Bait

Your style of ignorance breeds hate
I even tried to set some bait
Should have used a net
To capture from you anything I can get

Otherwise I am left to nothing
Definitely not just some thing
Rather an interested lost entity
I wish my riches were not so empty

Though I found a secret
No gold will you need to get
For the treasure that’s found
Is greater than anything sound

Imperfections

I’ve got blurry eyes
Which is not really blind
Just different perspective
Up close I can see imperfections
Which are really not imperfections
Just different in perfection
The heart is the same
One in love and ready the same

Ill

I wish I was actually mentally ill
Then maybe this suffering will
Come to a bitter and hopeful end
So I endure it again and again
In payment by the pain
For yours and my transgressions
Not found in any aggressions

Shell

I fell in love with you
The moment I saw you
Cracked open my heart’s shell
Exposing all, do tell

From here I stay silent
My passions I will relent
Otherwise misunderstood intentions
Blown out of proportions

Ride

I pine for your love
But when push comes to shove
I will step aside
To set you on a ride
To a place you have never been

There is more to love when you give it
Better to give it than to receive it
Does more for your soul
Than any particular kind of role
Granting graces as He sees fit

I know this
’cause I live this
Every day
Forever will I say
I love you more than you know

Dangerous

To all I am dangerous
Dangerously close
To condemning the world
An eye to behold
All truth be told
Don’t fit into a mould
Casting away all darkness
Revealing your true nature

So lift up your hearts
Let your spirits be lifted
Sanctioned grace comes by the way
To those who seek it and know it
Bypassing all the wretched
And leaving dust in it’s wake
