Lack Love

Got the silent treatment
After myself flowed
Into love’s waves
Crashing on your shore
But the undertow pulled me back
Your love is what I lack
But I am back on the wave again
Relentlessly I crash again and again

Secrets

All that is held in secret
Is not held secret forever
All will be revealed one day
On you what would you say?
Would you be afraid?
The Lord knows your innermost thoughts
It is the way it is
I do not care if you know mine
I have poured them out this time

Warned

O Jesus hear my cry
My tears start to fly
The sorrow and the pain
By those I suffer for from disdain
Is getting worse as time goes by
I warned this would come so sly
But their hearts are hard
With me standing guard
I offer my daily suffering
So count me on your ring
Redemptive to the core
See you standing on the shore

How it Goes

I let the Fire burn
Burn away imperfections
Making me whole
Making me clean
By His Spirit only
I know what Glory waits
Ultimately Christ’s Return
Shape up before the day
Which has already passed
And yet to be revealed

Happy

Happy is the man
Who finds love in this land
Happy is the woman
Who finds love in her hand

Hold close the love you find
Determined and awake
True love can lead the blind
True love can never be fake

Give yourself over to God’s will
And the answer that He will show
Will bring you to His feet with a thrill
And fill your soul so let it flow

More Love

She sang to me a beautiful song
In her heart there is no wrong
I found her and love her
It was her I went after

But there is more than meets the eye
Parched in this desert very dry
With love as an eternal spring
It is not just some fling

More to life does love deliver
I beseech thee, come hither
I will bless you on your way
All I have left is love to say

Your love is profound
And forever bound
So propel yourself forward
To God put yourself toward

Did

Oh did I watch you grow
In your heart, love did I sow
I just wanted you to know
That I did let you go
And that I love you so

A person with a loving heart
Does not assail at the start
But rather submits to God’s Will
Which is to love beyond the window sill

Happening

Something more important than me
Is happening as I speak
Happening right now and forever
A taste of Heaven as I bleed
Bleed from the afflictions on me
Drowning in my own blood
If that is what it takes

But my message is the same
Jesus loves you despite your sins
So what’s happening other than love at work?

Serving

I took the deepest breath
Understood the Spirit’s rest
Filled with wonder
Serving a purpose
Beyond all the strife
To pray and to offer
Not for myself
But for you instead
For I know my place
And the Glory that waits
So be at peace
Believe in Jesus
Know that I took your place
In the war you do not see

Darkest

Found love in the darkest of places
I can see it in their faces
That thirsting and that longing
For simple smiles and even singing
For glorious praise
My cup be raised
So the ransom be paid
And love be made

Yet

I am in unfathomable pain
Such anguish over the loss
For something that hasn’t happened yet
So much pain I am numb

Pray then for deliverance
Better get off that fence
Fight for what is good and right
God is Good and Righteous

Outcast

I branded myself as an outcast
The moment I said I am a prophet
Those whose ears were closed
Heard only what they wanted to hear
And heard not the earth shattering cry
For if they did they would have died
So they locked me up instead
After I wanted to prove to them
That I have power over life and death

Shunned

When I tell it how it is
I get shunned and called names
Insults like vomit are poured out
Inciting hate and jealousy
Turning what I say on it’s head
So you’ve lost your way
You need not even convey
For you I pray
So one day you will say
That Jesus is Lord today

Sharing

You sing so beautifully
Your voice lifting spirits high
Your tune leads them along
Near idolatry the way they are
Fame is just people talking
But in this day and age it’s sharing for the record
And no one wants a prophet around

Survive

Truth is you do not know me
I have even witnessed evil flee
Just know what is in store
Whether alive or dead as a door
What you do with love matters
Instead you leave behind what shatters

I would rather you heard the truth
Than slip away like a lost tooth
Take heart if you are kind
Necessary traits for all to find
The gift of giving for love’s sake
Is a cherished memory I will take
To my grave and survive
