Justified

I can tell if there is love in an embrace
It always leaves behind a certain trace
A gentle song of love me back is presented
Never in a position to be resented

The longings of lonely hearts are revealed
Like the beauty of a flower that is sealed
Shoulder to shoulder and to His left and right
Change the battle and redefine the fight

What we have got is His Nature at our side
Justified retribution I must confide
Swirling whirlwinds of fire, ash, and smoke
Take a long look and it is no joke

Memories of Hell

Surrounded by memories that trouble me
Thousands of years of torment and torture
Dying over and over in an endless loop
This is what awaits those destined for Hell

I believe these memories are real
That I have indeed been there before
But there no longer by the grace of God
I am certain I shall live a thousand years more

The trauma is still there, lingering, remember
That pain and suffering echoes and bleeds
Churns out more suffering like an ache in the knee
But nothing compared to the torment of Hell

The suffering I have endured was all for you
Plenty of sunshine and love so true
I pray for my enemies if I have any
I love my friends and family

All of the things of my character that are true
I deny them simply because they are true
To hide my identity among the thieves
And reach into their hearts by Way of He

Forward Looking

I spread out my life before God’s Holy Altar
Entered into His Love without falter
Said to the Lord, look at my life forward and back
Judge me and my life now and do not look back

Let me live my life with my mistakes and all
Let love live and thrive deep within for all
No matter what the world throws at us
We live in the New Heaven despite the fuss

So feel the heat and the fire
What to do now, do I conspire?
To turn every heart to love
Instead of the wars they like to shove
