I call Him Lord
For He is Lord over me
While He walks with me
As a friend
As a brother
As a father
I am left feeling compelled
To brandish love like a sword

I lowered myself even further
Letting the Lord reign in my heart
The more He reigned
The lower I became
Until I became nothing
Am nothing
Without Him
We are one
We are alive
Listen to Him
We are Love

Not much to say now
Said it all before a vow
Woke the sleepers
Now become the reapers

I made friends with my enemies
Loved them no matter what
I experienced the pain of their absence even

I am just a lonely nomad in search of souls
I find them and love them
Sometimes teach them
Very few love me back
But returned with their fire
Behold My Fire

I rejoice in the name of the Lord
For He has delivered me from evil
Countless times I have been saved
Countless times I have failed
But His mercy is boundless
And His love steadfast
Never wavering
Never accusing
Justice and peace follow
So I am at peace
My enemies invisible and hiding
Surely the Lord has something in store for them

Turn around
Turn right around
The direction you are headed
Is for destruction
And I am the crazy old man
Telling you to repent
I know how things can get
Turn around
The direction you head is death

I want to see
Acts of love in deeds
Grown from seeds
Deep in the soil of faith

Stand up and stand tall
Acts of compassion
Are the fashion
That brings the devil to his knees

In a flash of light
I saw the Lord’s might
Defeat His enemies not with smite
But with Love alright
A lover’s delight

I laid down my life for you
Though I got nothing in return from you
My love is not conditional
And lives in grace
Reflecting on your face
Whether you like it or not
Love shines really bright

After a while
The pain becomes bearable
A constant drone
Never alone

Graces have come
With such a wide chasm ahead
Will I have the Lord’s strength
To take that leap of faith?

A sad and unfortunate incident
Has left me to the brink of death
Still battling demons left and right
No one cares or partakes in this plight

I warned of the pandemic
Now I warn you of an earthquake
Resolved to shake things up
Despite the ignorance sustained

But even then your hearts will be closed
Your misplaced anger fuming
When it was your hand all along
That led death to your doorstep

I am being ignored
My words dissolved like salt
In the sea of all things
The world is not ready
For what comes next

This pandemic
Has not hit you hard enough
To realize that you must repent

I am like a little church
In the middle of nowhere
Alone and empty
Except for the Lord

Made an oath
Thought I vowed it there
Which kept me here
Saw through nothing
Transformed before my eyes
Into something despised
So I still love and forgive
As is, was, and will be my vow

Do not forget
Your body
Your very own body
Is a living temple
Of the Holy Spirit of God
And His Body
Is the bread of your Church

Something the Lord told me
Has me thinking alot
About not my own immortality
But for the sakes of others
Just to experience the Joy
That comes when entering Heaven

This Fire that burns
Is my heart that yearns
To be that love you require
So it is you that I admire
