Serving

I took the deepest breath
Understood the Spirit’s rest
Filled with wonder
Serving a purpose
Beyond all the strife
To pray and to offer
Not for myself
But for you instead
For I know my place
And the Glory that waits
So be at peace
Believe in Jesus
Know that I took your place
In the war you do not see

Yet

I am in unfathomable pain
Such anguish over the loss
For something that hasn’t happened yet
So much pain I am numb

Pray then for deliverance
Better get off that fence
Fight for what is good and right
God is Good and Righteous

Outcast

I branded myself as an outcast
The moment I said I am a prophet
Those whose ears were closed
Heard only what they wanted to hear
And heard not the earth shattering cry
For if they did they would have died
So they locked me up instead
After I wanted to prove to them
That I have power over life and death

Shunned

When I tell it how it is
I get shunned and called names
Insults like vomit are poured out
Inciting hate and jealousy
Turning what I say on it’s head
So you’ve lost your way
You need not even convey
For you I pray
So one day you will say
That Jesus is Lord today

Sharing

You sing so beautifully
Your voice lifting spirits high
Your tune leads them along
Near idolatry the way they are
Fame is just people talking
But in this day and age it’s sharing for the record
And no one wants a prophet around

Survive

Truth is you do not know me
I have even witnessed evil flee
Just know what is in store
Whether alive or dead as a door
What you do with love matters
Instead you leave behind what shatters

I would rather you heard the truth
Than slip away like a lost tooth
Take heart if you are kind
Necessary traits for all to find
The gift of giving for love’s sake
Is a cherished memory I will take
To my grave and survive

Mother

There are those who bring hope
To a world high on dope
Listen closely now
To your Mother of God you should bow
Honour her with a joyous shout
Her grace and love to flout
Switch to your favourite tune
In her heart there is room

Out

Your habits betray you
Ready to slay you
Right where you stand
Hanging by a strand

I watch it all slip away
Into the darkness and the fray
I hoped to have reached you
Your absence makes me blue

I am my own last resort
Sacrifices will cohort
No longer seeking you out
Only I am on my way out

Sinner

I know I am a sinner
Will never be content with reparations
I hear the songs of kindness
I tear up over the ballads
What you created swayed my heart
On the cusp of death I slowly fade
Lo, your absence a torrential pain
Only wishing you would gain
Eternal Life

Misinterpret

Never ever could I ever
Withdraw from you forever
I love you too much to sever
Only wanted to be your lover

So it seems you misinterpret
And those things cause you to fret
When letting love wash over you
Is really a gift to you
