To you does my heart thus sing
My love is stronger than any diamond ring
Rejoicing over my love
To you do We send you His Dove

I feel the loss, the suffering, and the pain
Never as a result full of disdain
But compassion towards those whom I feel for
My offering, my pain, my way, same as before

In truth, my way is His Way I follow
Those bloody footprints are hallow
Full of love and compassion
Entering into His Glorious Passion

Waste not this opportune moment
Perhaps even in some way, vent

As I slink by unnoticed
With every breath
And every beat
The cantor and the song
The heartfelt throng
Echoes across the world
Sustained by the song

I feel like I am
One and the same
But in reality far away
I had my say
Voices from up on above
Said otherwise
And here I am
Singing my song to the dead

I suffer because of who I am
Not because of what I have done or not done
Tell me when
The onslaught will end
Though I can bear it all for you
Just say the words that are true
I love you

Thankful for forgiveness
I have made my fair share of mistakes
Question is, did I learn?

Grateful for love
The strongest amidst all virtues
Have I loved enough?

My curiosity sated
God’s love is ineffable
Experience it for yourself

My sins washed away
Gone forever
Never to come back
All by the Blood of Christ
Everything has been revealed
Everything has a price
But the one that redeems us
Pays the ultimate price
Gaining us freedom and glory
So the freedom to love comes into play

How can I say I love you
If your face is not around?
Your beautiful face
More than just a face
God put His best work on you
Made you perfect in every way
This is something I will say
Love comes in many forms
This one comes from God Himself
Proclaiming your beauty
Like that of a queen
So shy not away
Believe in your love
That it can do more than just sing
It can even raise the dead

With these mystical sighs
I am just somebody who tries
To do the mighty will of God

Granted the gifts of seven
All of which came from Heaven
Has me here hated and despised

Ill conceived are their opinions of me
Thinking I am in some fantasy
What will they think of next besides the truth?

But I stand here before God always
Shadows of me are in the hallways
Now I am wondering if I should I even stay

Been around long enough
To know
That love is the way
Arrest my heart
If I should stray

Felt the light of life
Now I know
That love defeats evil
No matter the cost
To love do I sway

So I jumped up and danced
To the music of your stance
Doling out forgiveness like candy
Never thought it would be handy
But no burden like the Cross
To bear it is a gift not a loss
Not for me but for you
This offering simply made true
True to the word
Never absurd
A wish for your divination
Your deification in Christ as a nation
The freedom to be a mirror
Of the Christ who is nearer
To our hearts ever closest
God most certainly noticed
For His response was and is the truth
Funny, it rhymes with sooth

I could not dream of goodbye
To you I will always remain
A certain kind of love

Poured out again and again
Hands trembling from within
While His Divine presence is always company

With a swipe of the word
Which becomes a sword
Now I have my reservations

My allegiance is to the Lord
Forgive my ramblings
I am just an old man
Getting older and younger
Because of who I am
Can no longer deny
Wish I could fly
See me floating by
With a smile to subside the hate
Over joy so very complete
So be that joy and more
To this my heart does indeed plead
Wishing you the best of love
As I move on along
I do not miss you so
But still wishing you were mine

I gave you my all
Before the fall
What you wrote struck me still
Saying goodbyes from the window sill

But it is never really goodbye after all
The strength of love ordered tall
Overcomes all burdens big or small
Listening to the Angel’s call

So believe in this hallowed craving
Listen to what I am saying
I found the answer and the key
It is to love simply

In the flicker of the water
I saw your face falter
Whisked away like a wisp of smoke
Not because of something I wrote
But by time passing sound
When you are not around

My only intention is the will of God
Every word uttered in secret
Only to be revealed in the end
Is the will of the One who sent me

My place is in with the lowest
That my heart is after the lost
Outside the realm they are in
I seek and I find

The unction from your lips
Satisfies my prophesying tips
As the belly of the sky is about to burst with rain
My days are not done stopping the rain

By faith every word uttered
As though everything mattered
The sky grew clear
So comes the sunshine dear

But with every prophecy comes a price
It is for me to give you advice
Painting a picture to show
Every time you will glow

My dearest love I miss you
I thought I knew what to do
My heart is racing to finish
Where it is I who will diminish

I once called upon a storm to cease
To demonstrate faith to believe
But their hearts were swayed
Never to enter the sanctuary
My example as of late
Tied to a certain fate
They scattered divided
Tore me apart
Oh what a start!

Unity, my people
Unite under one banner of Love
And I will send more Love in response
Despite to date none have ever reached out

I ventured out to understand love
Discovered more than a surprise dove
A fashioned entity to relieve
Those who believe
In love
In the dove
From the perils of modern culture and life

I have set this Fire and the stage
You once had me in a cage
Not meant to be
Don’t you see?
Set it free
