Alive

You do not know
The sacrifices made
The self-immolation
By the Spirit’s Fire

Out of love I gave
My very life that saved
Have to be alive
By breaking the silence

Watching those I love
Treated with contempt
Incites and flares my anger
Now I breathe My Fire

Deeds

Careful not to judge
Those in the drudge
Or anyone at all
Or you will certainly fall

Got the power of God in my hands
Power to dole out a sentence
By His Judgement of your deeds
Or lack thereof

Leave you wondering
What could words possibly do
Do not test those who are true
Or I’ll run you through

Ghost

When I was incarcerated
My ego and spirit deflated
Humbled to nothing
All the ones closest to me
Abandoned me
But I still love them anyway
Can see beyond the way
Still confide in them
Still tell them I love them
Knowing love defeats even the darkest of ghosts

Chance

I lost the able
Felt the sunshine love
Crafted poetry and song
Knew you would come to
And break through the clouds
With that light that dissolves
Sour hearts that sob

Bring your love to the table
Taking care to not leave anyone out
For those are the hearts that love
Found amidst the rejected and lost
Blindfold me if you have to
To take me to your sacred place

Though I am fading away
My eyes grow dim
My body cringe at pain
My suffering not in vain
See that I am not forgotten
As I watch your chance slip away

If you read their hearts you would feel the same

In Memory

“Do this in memory of Me”
Said you, my Lord
Teach me that memory
By Your Spirit or fade
But do not fade from me
Teach me that Memory
The one by the great books convey
An everlasting sustain and echoed refrain
To be simply embellished
So even the lowest can convey
Amen

Fear

A raging inferno
Starts with just a flame
With the Lord only knowing
What is fit
What is good

None fully surrender
Living in unsurmountable fear
Unless the Spirit permeates you
Fills you with sound light
And takes you places you have never been

Intercede

I intercede for you
My burning desire
Yearning Fire

My affection for you
A kind and loving heart
Been with me from the start

Never leaving my side
Even when I subside
Living bound and free

But I digress
The Spirit is being stifled
By futile knowledge

People believing
In only themselves
Have themselves to blame

Glimpse

You only caught a glimpse
Of my Heart within
Found me and hid me out of fear
Know it is what comes from the Holy Spirit
The Light that permeates
That warmth to heal
Power out of my hands
To let God’s Glory shine
That Power invoked by Faith
To change the world for Good

Love of Singing

I wish you could hear
My heartfelt song
Belted out with a gong
My lips and voice to sing
That Refrain of Love

I stepped into your light
With the hopes of flight
Singing out loud
A voice you never ever heard
Your silence keeping me from

I have not sung of love
In a very long long time
Until this very moment now
So the hearts of Angels can praise
For centuries to come

My own voice brought tears
By the tune and sears
Shaking up desolate dears
To stand up without fears
Delivering sincere cheers

So love never ends
And it can never ever die
