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

Been treated with contempt
Withdrew for a while to pray
After fourty years I must say
This desert has an oasis
Planted by God nonetheless
If you cannot see it
You are bound and blind in this life

Been nothing but cryptic
Looking for the graces
Seen nothing but faces
Reflecting genuflection
As something this world lacks
Before the Presence of God

Found the godly gorgeous
Got the oddly tortuous
But felt softly onerous
Left it all to God
Even all that is odd

Switched the blade from razor to sword
With it was written God’s Word

When I looked inward toward the I am
That center conciousness of life
Living an endless life
I found it amidst strife

Saw the future not like the sci-fi
Learned that to say what
Affected the final outcome
So I slice through the silence

I warned only of things to come
Kept the good ending to myself
Awaiting a final revelation
With Heaven the destination

Never had a need for a glock
For my foundation is Christ the rock
As the Spirit defends me
From bullets, bombs, and knives

Until the day I intend to die comes
It will be because of what I did to you
Unleashed from the four corners this fire
It will not stop without repentance

Take a look at the bigger picture
Nobody deserves a rapture
The rate at which they bleed lives
At an appalling rate nonetheless

I bent the light with my breath
Entered the cosmos unforsaken
Living this life
Meant everything with pain
But compared to most
I bore so little
But it is every day I pray
That my heart never fades
From the love I bear even today
I have nothing left to give
But my love in stanzas and lyrics
An ode of love everlasting
For any and all who desire love
I only wish for healing and grace
To see God’s holy face
In timeless adoration nonetheless
