Transparency

I let slip a revelation from the Lord
Irretrievable it is until the Lord intervenes
No matter how hard I try
It slips away just out of reach

So I recollect myself in Christ
Cleanse my thoughts of iniquity and let go
And lo and behold a mystery appears
Revealed in an inkling that almost slipped away

We are the works of God’s hands
Created out of love for love
Even though it feels like we are first drafts
Our inherent love says creation takes time

So our journey in our life defines who we once were
What we do going forward in Christ matters
As the mould of humanity shapes us
The Spirit of God breathes in us

The pain I am in doesn’t matter anymore
No one to blame, it is just how it is
So I let go of being opaque
But the transparency just made me invisible

Wise

What I writ and said out loud
With an unction and a shroud
Where my heart is I rejoice
And deliver love with a choice

Living according to Christ is wise
Becoming one with Him is more wise
Now that love is on the rise
Goodness comes against demise

So swiftly He comes and is here
Oh what love He holds dear
Is more than you know or understand
Giving and offering without a brand

Strike

My followers are small
After the fall
Have no way of reaching out
Should I now pout?

Matters not to me, it seems like
Rather I would raise my hand to strike
But love holds my hand steady
And whispers, “The world is not ready”

Beyond the Sky

From the cosmos I am here
To love’s actions do I adhere
Spilling out love’s mysteries
Beyond the sky and the trees

I fly like a bird on fire
Nobody cares except to see the burning transpire
But this fire does not consume that which is pure
So what’s left over remains despite the cure

With the wave of a hand not my own
To see you and say, my how you’ve grown
Be that love and more beyond all time and space
So I may treasure every moment of your face

Not Repeat

I prayed to the Father a prayer I will not repeat
But upon it’s fulfillment will Glory be sweet
For those one with Him who comes
Already know what prayer it is that becomes
With the grace of love and forgiveness
Making it everyone’s business
To acknowledge Him who comes

Soon it will be passed through thunder
Making the world in their place wonder
At the lack of generosity by most
But the loving gifts by others as host
I am but a nobody who needs Him
Sheltered from harm on a supernatural whim
And loves you because He loves you too

Writ

You tugged on my heartstrings
I have been away far too long
So it is either my life shining bright
Or me dying in some way or another

However I go
I want you to know
It has always been about love and beauty
With the eye of the beholder being God himself

Knowing this and witnessing it
Leaves me to my own devices
And loving every moment of it
While hating what the world has become

I did what I could and was rejected for it
Cast aside and forced to die
Left all alone with no one to talk to
Yet I still love you and forgive you

But the world is changing, see
And it is for the better
Something founded on love itself
Outdoing any constitution already

It will be through Christ as the true victor
Only goodness would remain
For those truly loyal to God
Are few and far between

Inkling

That inkling I found
It is so profound
The light and the spark
Ignite it all to light up the dark

But it remains contained
From everything I refrained
The eye of the beholder
Of what is, was, and will be bolder

While beauty itself breaks through
Life is sustained in all that I do
But ceases when the belief is over
And lacking the courage over and over

When it is over it is finished
To a new beginning not diminished
The cycle of love never ends
Creating life as it sends

Trauma

We are instruments of God’s Will
And the Lord’s anger that comes directed
Toward those ignorant to His Children
He warned us not to hinder them
Yet hindered I am
I now waste away over time
Instead of living on as I should
Friends no longer friends
But my enemies are no more
New friends come along
And discover the heavy trauma deep inside

Creator

What you have got inside I love
Who you are is that which resides
Deep inside my own heart
Not possible you say

With God anything is possible
As it turns out I do not pout
When you ignore every iota I write
Especially concerning matters of Heaven

A heart loaded with Love
Produces a kind and generous one
And is one with the Creator of Heaven and Earth
For that Creator is Love

Conviction

I awoke to find myself wandering
Wondering when you will be here
Finally sauntering into my life
In a special way you found my strife

I do not pretend to be anything else
Other than a dreary old servant of our Lord
Ignored on all fronts I still serve
Until I end up like fire

Truth is always there
And when conviction comes with truth
It spreads like fire and accelerant
So beware, He looks after His sheep

Joyful Hope

Protect us from all anxiety
In a way this has been fulfilled
I have no anxiety whatsoever about
Still in a joyful hope

Despite the evil that surrounds us
Despite the horrors and the death
Wonders will never cease to be
Oh just you wait

The damage to me is done
The pain just always is now
But what gives me away
Is I still love you always

Love Letter

Love comes to us in many different ways
Having a heart so free is testimony
Revealing secrets between the lines
And encompassing them in rhymes

I let my heart flow like a river
But what do you call a body of water
That flows like a river
But is much larger than the sea?

I call that a love letter

Worth Saving

I have got much to give
So I gave it my all to live
Sacrificed the life I wanted
By an offering for others instead

Let me smile while I suffer
As I lift my heart to offer
A great love worth saving
Held closer than any shaving

So I spin right around
Until I am met with a sound
That penetrates my heart
Oh what way to start!

Together Now

To all who are truly one with Jesus Christ
Remember, your actions are together now
And concerning your actions
You will always have a choice

So choose wisely and do not be like a fool
Do be like one who sits idle by the pool
Every opportunity to love will pass you by
Love, with the One who Is Love

Apostolic Journey

As I let the Fire burn
In my heart I have this yearn
But I am not good at leading by example
So I get Him to lead me instead

Where He has led me in my life
Would lead to thousands of volumes
Of an apostolic journey
To seek the love of the lost

After finding them I knelt to the ground
Like a beggar before the Father
Pleading on their behalf
Spare them with Mercy, I have failed to reach them all

Blunder

You make my heart leap when you say my name
Any name uttered past your lips
Gives praise to God for He is good
So bless instead for we are weary

My name slipped like thunder
Under the roof of our Lord
Made me look like a blunder
But produced laughter instead of a sword

Struck with Joy

I dreamt you sang a song to me
A song that pierced my veil
Which struck me with great joy
That what you sought you found

But sadness quickly settled in
As your departure was quicker than your entrance
I felt everything you felt
No wonder you fled

But I maintain my gentleness and kindness
Only with love and to be loved that is all
Everything Love is will be poured out and shared
Another sacrifice for the greater good be bared

Amplified

Relieved you must be
That your hatred of me
Has finally prevailed
Has me up and nailed
On a very cross of my own
Oh these seeds of love I have sown
Watch become something new
Despite the rolling hate ensue
I know who is on my side
In my heart does He reside
The same one you crucified
As a result is amplified

Rhymes

These are troubling times
Can I double my rhymes?
To pierce the deafness
So they too can listen and hear

The Lord has been pouring out mercy
It fills the hearts of those He sees
But receptive hearts some have not
He pours out that mercy nonetheless

Though Mercy lasts forever
The gift of it does not
It will soon come to an end
To those left standing without

But listen not to an old man’s word
I have lived more than a thousand lifetimes
Wisdom is attained by loving her
Not by books or any earthly thing you procure

Heaven is but a heartbeat away
But I stand here as I choose to stay
Engaging in a battle unlike anything you have ever seen
Everyone else thinking it is some wild dream

I care not what others think
I do not listen to the ones that hate
Leave them to their own devices
Look at what they devastate

So leave me be and let me be
The one that God sent me to be
A voice crying in the darkness
He comes to you, be awake!
