Fame

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

Winter Twilight

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
