A Prophet Scorned

If your faith leads you to believe
That what you do and love is for God
Everything falls into place
According to His will
Which is better than your own

Holding onto the love
Love that shapes new things
Dreams that are awake
Treading on thin ice
Love makes me safe

Standing among the dead
Trying to raise them up
Resurrect them up from death
But their hearts are hard and cannot see
Heaven walking amidst them

Did you know that you are everything to me?
That your love including me I can see
So far away but I cannot complain
Will this love be in sustain?

Like a plucked chord on your guitar
Let it not fade very far
Before you pluck those strings again
Remember my love is yours to gain

I’ve got so much to say
About the sunshine today
Beaming love and hope
At the end of my rope

Nowhere to begin to say
What troubles me today
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Feels like I have been framed

My inclinations directly from God
People have trouble avoiding fraud
I stand fully aware and able
Seeing that I am an untouchable

Your song pierced my soul
Beware there is wrath in the bowl
Do I pour it out or drink it instead?
What if I poured it on your head?

I hear the cries for pestilence
All those sitting on the fence
Where has your faith gone?
When a light has been shone

In the darkness you cannot see
What is unseen will always be
Remember mercy as it goes around
In your silence you made a sound

While under His reign
Where grace will sustain
Emptied of all the rain
A vessel full of pain

Now I give myself as does He
It is the only way to be
To repair the damage done
To be one with the Son

When you are one with Him like a ring
His love keeps you under his wing
Poured out for the lost and forsaken
Revealed in His glory before you are taken

It was always you
Always you I see
When I close my eyes
Tears
Flowing in streams
Unable to console
I am left harbouring your pain

I can feel you rushing toward me
You arrive in a whirlwind free
Filling me with delight
That special light
Spotlight

Oh sweet love
It was about you at first
But I reeled in my desires
Left myself for dead
Washed by His Blood instead

But no more of this fantastic feeling
That you bring when swinging
I will sink into annihilation
Weeping at the state of the nation
Who were offered an amazing deal for life

I am cryptic in my stanzas
Puzzled by your lack of love
Journeyed through the darkest places
Protected in every step
Death evades and has no say
Not because I am special
But because my belief
Has transformed into Faith

Unaffected by your poison
Whether it be in my drink
Or in your words
Your poison does not affect me
Kindled by a promise made
Fulfilled by a promise kept

She brushed me off like dust on a jacket
Never met the thought of possibilities
Never cared for the suffering
Preferred pleasure over the pain

I forgive her every time
Thousands upon thousands of times
Touched her hands with words
In the darkest of rooms

Love her like no other
I seem only to be a bother
So I left her be
With the hope she will see

Sing a song unto the Lord
Let your riff penetrate my soul
Hold back not on the meaning
Your love you wish to convey

Been with you from the beginning
Nothing to fear following Him
In His very bloody footsteps
Reached the summit of that Journey
Where the Cross is there waiting for me
Do they understand what I mean
When I say I would die again and again?

One with Him I Am always
Chosen to be
Imagine knowing before you gain
Such is the way to eternal life
No other way but through Him
So be united with Him
And do onto others as though He were them

Don’t belong to the world
A caveat I must unfurl
Not knowing where you come from
Doesn’t mean I don’t love you

Soaring the skies above
I swoop down below
To reach those in need
Picking up the fallen

The strum of your guitar plucked my heart
Then came your voice over the strings
Unwavering strength conveyed
Unrelenting faith
In love

There is something being written
Between the lines His divine unction
Absorbed in your love unconditionally
Extends my loving hand for aid

Thank you for singing that song you sung
Beyond death like a bell it rung
Echoing forever in the chamber of my heart
A love that does not forget truth from the start

You asked for a sign and seek new life
Seek to atone for your sins all your life
To do that I know where and how
Where love will wipe the sweat off your brow

I give you all I have yet I have nothing
I carry not what makes one cling
To the worldly things you hold dear
Citing messages from God you fear

Belt out your love
Like you would in a song
So it is felt like a chill
Same with your actions
To do unto others
With goodness and love
Leaving behind what was felt in the heart
To give without notice
Is a good way to start
