I hold back this wrath
When mercy is at play
Loving kindess and forgiveness
To my friends and enemies the same

I will never forget you
If in my heart you are in replay
Over and over again
To this I never sway

Forgiveness with love
Always defeats violence
Building bridges that burned
United under one Body as One

For whose blood was spilled
That redeemed us all from Death?

My love
My sweet
My dove
Don’t weep

I placed you securely
In my bleeding heart

I climbed up the mountain
Up the mountain of the Lord
His path set before me
To the summit I have reached

When love is bound
It bounds for the heart
Leaving in its wake
A love so profound
It will dumbfound

Without your five senses
What are you then?
How will you get around?
Whose mind are you bound?

I tell you truly
Your soul is beyond your senses
For faith and love reside there
From there His Kingdom comes
From within a Castle of Justice

Have you ever loved to wonder?
Has your countenance ever changed?
Love is always forever
Image and likeness
All in surround

Shook the earth with a word
Most people think it is absurd
But I know something you do not
How faith works, you ought

One of the prayers that helps
Is to ask Jesus to trust
His Will to my own
And mine to His

Faith is not just belief
But creed that is followed
With the utmost conviction
To love we are bound

I call upon the Lord
And He answers me
Responds with loving kindness
Beyond my wildest dreams
Got the hold on Glory
Established this foundation
Knowing all the powers of Hell
Have nothing against it
So I dare to dream
Of a love so profound
It evolved beyond Death
And in my heart it thrives

Washing angst and pain
By the love in the rain
Reign over me
So that all may see

Faded and forgotten
Dejected and rejected
I am

I approached the throne
While it was empty
Found those who testify hanging around
Walked past them to the children instead

I read the hearts of the oppressed
Better to be on the side of love
Than to be against God who is love
Watch the fire of this love
Stand up
I need you to give it your all
Remember temperance
Do not force me to lay waste

Got this notion
That on many sides
Most are in it for themselves
Few are in it for others
I am ready to deliver
Got you covered if you got the sweats
Could not care less what the world thinks
Until it comes I must judge your love

In the dark night
You become nothing
And the horror hits you
His absence turns you into nothing
Forgotten and dust

I etched the words on your heart
I fetched your love from the start
Knowingly and willingly
Hit the bullseye with a dart

Ripped away like a torn cloak
Refuse of the refuge
Need and cry to God for help
So I answer as a proxy for Christ
Give you everything I have
Including all my love
Watch me forward through the past

Upon my death I entered
A mystery few know
And here I am
Come and take me down
For I ain’t gonna give it up
Possible intervention
God’s power in my hands
Watch the world ignite

Go ahead and do to me
What your hate likes to fuel
A heavy fire will come
Even though
I cannot ever die
I will die for you
My love for you
Grows

Between the words
Placed before me by your song
I see fear like no other
I see a tortured soul
Ready to bust it through
Willing to sacrifice that which is not yours
I see your pain and lived it through myself
Better let me get to you
For the Lord filled my mouth with good things
For you I have nothing but love

You are from a faraway land
Distanced by the waves and the altar
Your love is the greatest treasure I found
But just because I found it
Doesn’t mean I own it
So I gave it all away
Poured it out like hot glass
Shaped to remember
