A Prophet Scorned

Jesus held me close while I wept a river of tears
Reaching deep within and dispelling all of my fears
Restoring hope that was once lost
Hope that came at an extraordinary cost

The pain and suffering caused, I was raised above
To a point past transgressions turned into love
You took my breath away by your immense grace
Knowing our worst we will have to face

Before Him forgiveness brings praise and laud
I know I am the least and worst before God
Sustained by grace alone we are not afraid
For the truth is in the prayer we prayed

First thing to reveal is that my words are
Because it is through God that I am not far
Never thought I would be barely hanging onto life
But evil has a way to bring me nothing but strife

I have already processed the greatest Grief
To lose the ones I love like a Chief
But it never really leaves you, does it?
The triggers and the reminders amidst the grit

Remember that truth matters just for the sake of it
The truth about life and death is they split
About as graceful as a tree hit by lightning
See, I won the prize but was never first to sing

I drained all my life into the world for God
Some people find this really very odd
Why would I sacrifice such a treasure
As all of this I know that I am sure
Not because of some revelation
But because of the actual oblation
As I glean tidbits from these inklings
I walk alone as I walk among kings
A king because of the laying on of hands
Given the authority over distant lands
With you I can honestly say that I tried
For rising from the dead was implied

Inspired by your Love I adore you
Despite the madness all around
I know I am safe and sound
So run with me to the finish line

Do not ignore those who flail about
I dream of your song permeating my soul
I hide nothing, ask me anything, I am sold
On your divine love that only I can see

I kindle this fire of mine as a beacon
A light in the darkness to shine bright
So bright that evil will put up a fight
Because they sought to destroy your love

Your will is to harm despite the call for peace
Your will is to divide so you can conquer with ease
Your will is to fill yourselves with riches over the poor
Your will is to cause illness to your enemies

But those ways are not the ways of the Lord
His ways are but a command we must obey
His ways are of healing and reconciliation
He does not demand sacrifice be made

Those who do sacrifice for the greater glory of God
Where they gave up what they held most dear
Let go of what bound them here by twisted lies
And entered into the glory of God by way of love

They join in a chorus of a new song sung to the Lord
Praise be to the Lord and glory be on high!
I indeed have found the Lord throughout eternity
Upon His return I valued His generosity

Let it be known that I am the invisible witness
Of the things that are to come to pass
But also keeper of the things that have passed
My soul and spirit retain everything like a book

So it matters not who I am or where I am from
My words, a relic invested in time
Because it felt like shattering glass
The moment her eyes met with mine

But seeing Him nailed upon that mighty Cross
Has me feeling the totality of complete loss
Measured across eons infinitely beyond time
In a place beyond this blink of existence we can see

I am drenched in pain and suffering
Every movement I am numb in feeling
Walking through walls in dreams while awake
In a daze, not confused for your sake

Like being struck by lightning from above
I realized my error and that you are my love
So many sacrifices made keeping me sane
And my heart renders this passionate flame

I yearn for your love in response
A feeling that gets stronger over all my wants
Like we were meant for each other in every way
Wrestling with the visions that made me sway

My dreams, the ones that I ponder
Take me to places of divine wonder
Spinning around in sync with the earth
Spending time with friends around the hearth

Look at the forge before you without haste
And know that with the Lord He does not waste
A precious moment that tugs on a heart so dear
Telling them gently to have nothing to fear

I myself can offer nothing across the whole span
But the one who resides within me wholly can
Washing away the dead that reign
And breaking their colossal chain

It is enslavement of the worst kind
Bowing to an ideology they think can find
Never reaching that forever far reaching summit
Not just throwing it out there for the wit

I have this urge to love you
Some do not wish it to be true
But this urge does not stop
Nor do I want it to, lest it flop

I wish you understood the meaning
About your feelings or you would not be concealing
The things I have sacrificed but did not have to
And to those whom I have lost, I will remember you

These living words blessed from within
I had hoped by now lifted your chin
To see you standing up in honour and glory
This is not just some mythical story

My Heart slowed down
So that I would not drown
In your tears of sadness
When there should be gladness

I have never meant harm
Only meant to disarm
Those from their evil deeds
By planting love like seeds

When many years have passed
Love is still a great heavenly blast
There is still such great joy in your beauty
To inform you of this is my duty

I connect myself to the all
Knowing the truth since the fall
A certain power given to me
I wrote and became totally free

So you can read the truth as it forms
Into a world totally void of storms
A place to belong to and never be destroyed
No matter where you were once employed

I see the truth in what inspires and motivates you
But it only lasts so long before it us of no use
Then it is but an echo of a memory long forgotten
So see the conscious light of God’s begotten

You wanted me to follow you
But that I really cannot do
As the eons between these pages
Carve out a journey through the ages

I figure you would turn around and give me a smile
For the love I gave you with such guile
Never before has one ever been so loved by one
That in the truest form is as great as the Son

There is no distinguishing Us from one another
The love borne from God’s light does not smother
Though I am nothing and always will be
It is by reconciliation I can actually see

I have got that intense burning desire
To bring our love out from within the fire
And into the world to let them really see
That God’s Love is greater than you and me

What I have got you have no interest in
Skating on the ice that is so damn thin
I remember the love of those that have it
So many see it and try to reach out and grab it

Boasting favours before God I enjoy what it serves
Takes a lot more than someone with strong nerves
To behold the Light and Face of God, I have seen
For the glint in my eye has shown images foreseen

My bold claims before the Lord can only be true
Gently nudging one to adhere to His Will like glue
No turning back when it matters most
Oh I believe in the Sacred and Holy Host

He delivers me from every evil confronted
Sends His angels to capture the hunted
Heals my soul from what was torn away
And raises me up into love today

You are the light of my life my dear
The joy you bring is nothing to fear
I think of you always on my mind
Despite your rejection of me I find

I want us to know and share in each other
Suffering and living joy together
Kissing the pain away into the past
So much so almost every day I fast

To that end nobody else cares or knows
A facet of my life I have always wanted that flows
Never known to anyone unless I reveal
I am the secret under the Seal
