Vault

Is my loneliness my own fault?
I still have the comfort of my Lord’s vault
Regardless of rank and score
No money I have and more

I never wanted things to go the way they did
But that’s the cost of freedom that slid
Pushed around and bullied to do their will
When they forgot the power of love behind a till

Things will go the way I foresaw
Worse than Sodom and Gomorrah
Our freedom is shared amongst us all
So you are pulling me down while you fall

Only

I was scorned by you the other day
With such disdain did it totally portray
What you loathe must make you writhe
Is something that you cannot tithe

When things are in motion I make waves
The ripple effect leading to raves
Oh the ultimate glory for God is here
To Heaven all along did I steer

I am a wretch of all things
But God bowed down and gave me wings
To Him I sing out of love and out of tune
But to Him it’s more beautiful than the moon

I care not that people might stare
I have been there before I can compare
A whole audience riveted by fear
Only I told them what they needed to hear

Now my anger wells up within me
Who am I to you, how do I compare to thee?
I only want love to sustain what we had
Only you think it is horrible and bad

So I let the beauty of love and joy
Play against some sinister ploy
But the Lord has protected me this long
What makes you think you can come along?

Steady

As this body ages away and I lose my mind
My self and my identity left behind
I am forgetting things in one moment
Obscurity, if this continues I am meant

I have let go of my self and submitted to my Lord
Placing me in His bosom and not struck by a sword
Annihilation of that which is not of Himself
Leaving behind what remains of my self

I say this because despite the afflictions
I remain standing in the Lord before the nations
My own self so unimportant but I was hallowed
Living a true life in God forever followed

My heart yearns for the fulfillment of Revelations
Requiring sacrificial and worthy oblations
But the world is in obscurity and not ready
For the Lord to come, keep my heart steady

Wait

I turn to the silence and wait my answer
An outpouring of grace unlike ever
When the grace stops, that is when
You will realize there will be no zen

I only know the truth about myself
Never to ever be put on a shelf
Justice comes for those who seek it from God
Patience pays off and then let there be laud

For the Lord God approaches me always
And I approach Him in many ways
I see Him where you do not
In a poor man, a child, the whole lot

The God that loves us does not hide
All around us is where he does reside
But like a body there is always a head and heart
I have known love every time I start

You cannot see the heart by yourself
But know there is one that bleeds like myself
Your love is what is important to me
Your love like rainbows after the rain can I see

So rise up from the dead and make your claim
The dead do not speak but it is their aim
To be lifted from the shadows and the darkness
Into the light that is marvellous

There is an unspoken gift that is always given
By the only true man and one first risen
By a certain Passion that I enter daily by my life
I walk with Him on the very edge of strife
