A Prophet Scorned

Indeed faith has spoken
A word of advice and love
To those who need it most
By Him the most wonderful Host

There was a moment
Hastened back in time
Where love was given in such a way
As to redeem the lost and forsaken
Though their hearts were in the right place
Their future was in jeopardy
So how to save this bunch
Who they cannot save themselves?
Other than to pour out love’s kisses
In the form of healings and graces

You have got a preconceived notion
Of what it is I am about in motion
Your judgement of me
Is something I see
Feeling like a leper in a tree

Know that compassion and love
Comes from up on above
That closed hearts deny
The truth of love to apply
To the lives that are so sly

So flounder not your newfound song
And you will know that I am not wrong
You will soon seek me and find
That I am intentionally blind
Testing those who are kind and unkind

My heart is being stabbed on repeat
By rejection and hatred to defeat
My weakness and my bleakness
But I already gave mine away

With nothing left of my own to give
I need permission to give what is His
I am left here all by myself
All my books just sitting on the shelf

Loved by so few
Hated by many
I can read their hearts
Like a book it starts

So they turn their faces
Denying sanctioned graces
Making me feel restless
Having to deal helpless

But my patience does not wary
Nor does it vary
I will wait until the very end
When your love to me do you send

Little by little
Every bit subtle
She removes our Lord’s Presence
So soon to be empty
Like a barren tabernacle

I have no say
Though I do not say
Anything until now
Though I warned before
Circumvention has a role to play

Our Lord can never be extinguished
No matter how much more you have
Never how much money you have
What your fear fuels inside
Comes to take you for a ride

His face shone like the sun
Glittered with delight at the sight
Of your love so profound
That carried His wounded heart
To a safe haven in your own

My life my band
No longer a strand
Held close to my chest
My heart dropping my best

Felt in the light of forgiveness
A transition to lightness
A kind of fire with delight
In offering with powerful might

That glory and our God
To Him we owe our laud
With broken fingers trying to convey
Something massive to say

Nobody can see me
But the Lord sees all
So what I do in secret
Will be known only to Him
So still living brightly
From among the dead we rise

From within your ranks I was betrayed
Confidence destroyed by jealousy
Sitting back now wondering
If you will ever reach out
What was said and done is final
Revelation of the truth is what happened
Never secret only lonely
Because of dejection
Denial of truth and light
Oh sorrow be gentle to me
This fire is alight
And her song sings to me
So turn this sorrow into joy
From the window like you should

Wish you could hear what is on my heart
More about you than what you might think
My gift of prayers like flowers before the throne
Are all for you don’t you hear?
I love you to death
And my love is eternal

I listen to what’s popular
I hear what they say
They are crude
Deranged and full of conceit
The effort was supposed to be
Used for goodness and for God
Many left remaining
People alone and afraid
They feel like they are left for dead
Resorting to abhorrent violence
Not many more on the fence
But about what I believe
I would never reveal
But let it be composed in your heart

Only your lips can say what you have found
Just do not tell them where
Leave me to seal what is not to be revealed
Until the appointed time
Let the rivulet flow
Into the river it goes
Multiply your beliefs in love

I know that there is joy
I cannot figure out why you are so coy
I know you can fly
Nothing to do with being sly

So will you fly away?
Can I see you soar today?
My heart is always yours
My work no longer chores

The power and the lines
You would think there would be fines
For the abuse and the pain
Instead there is disdain

Never cared for the gravity
Even though love is in reciprocity
My power is beyond any measure
Explosion from a fissure

Alone
Restless
Otherwise in every respect
Lonely
My heart
It hurts
Make it stop
By uniting
In Christ’s Name
And doing what He expects

Your division is unbearable
But I bear it anyway
In my sufferings
My love for you do I convey
For I was sent here to watch you
Not watch over you
Witness to the very end
In my humblest opinion
He has already returned
Like a thief in the night
But no one is even looking
Only waiting
For something that has already
Happened
And here you are thinking
Where are the miracles
To get your attention

You got the genius for the lyrics
With the drum’s boom and ticks
Wish you heard the heartfelt cry
For your attention and love, try

I give God all the glory
And save none for myself
I have already told my story
But you just put it on the shelf

I give God all the praise
For He is the only one worthy
His own life did he raise
As I am the one unworthy

But His mercy is boundless
His forgiveness quick
Could not settle for less
As I cannot heal the sick

For I myself am more sick now
And in dire need of healing
Prayers for myself are just not how
Just goes to show all or nothing

They know not I am in need
But their prayers are for themselves
So instead I planted love’s seed
With plenty of books on the shelves

You have got beautiful beats
And tunes that ascend the heart
But your mouth is filthy
Beware of what you sing
It may condemn you

I listen to your popular music
And find it crude and rude
Except for a silent few
And what you release to the world
Is a record forever
Of your influence and gain
And what you give with that gain

In the fire of my heart
Rests an eternal flame
Dangerous to try and snuff out
For it’s permeated by His Spirit

His Love is ageless
And so is my body
His Love is steadfast
And so is my fire

So ignore me not
It was you I sought
To show you God’s Glory
Will make one heck of a story
