Im Alive

Death where is your sting? 
I am alive and with that I bring, 
the power of God
 and through that I sing 
of His graceful offering,
the death of His Son. 
His only offspring.

Wounded Heart

With a wounded heart
I lay here and cry.

Some wrongs I've done
I won't deny

to be ripped apart
From your embrace
Brings pain that won't heal
Without leaving a trace.

Replenish

Replenish* my heart 
with unquenchable coals.
Make it burn so hot
So I'm unable to control
The fire burning from deep in my soul.

When it seems to die
I ask You to try
And replenish* my heart
With unquenchable coals.

Note*: the word replenish has a double meaning. "To fill" and to "refill."

Loneliness Knows Me By Name

A heart without a home
Can cause one much pain.
A mind on the troll
Can cause one much shame.

A life all alone
Feels like acid rain.

Loneliness knows me by name

Southern Cross, Orion's Belt, Scorpio

Many times I feel lost, 
a future without a purpose 
and an empty soul 
The truth of my life has conformed me 
to misery.

A sting in my heart, 
the poison seeping into my soul.

I am dying slowly, 
people glaring, 
eyes burning, 
opinions formed about me. 
My mind racing, 
thoughts screaming. 
Stop staring holes into my skull! 
Darkness flooding in. 
I feel cold and empty

Then came a sudden bright light. 
out of it came three images: 
The Southern cross, Orion's belt and Scorpio.

With it came a voice. 
I am the One that leads the way, 
like the Southern cross in the night sky.

I Am the Truth. 
Now look up and see Orion's belt. 
Put on My belt of truth 
and I will become your Truth 
and you will receive My Joy.

Again, look up and see Scorpio. 
I Am your Protector. 
rejoice in Me and feel safe. 
Like a scorpion attacks its prey, 
I will smite your enemies with My wrath.

I Am the Way and the Truth 
and in Me you now have life.

In My Days

In my days of sorrow, I look at my life.
It saddens me to see what I find.
I see weaknesses I didn't know I have, nor do I know where it came from.
I see oppression that keeps a boy from becoming a man.
I see childhood anger preventing me from living with peace in my heart.
I see abuse that breaks down my ability to have compassion.
I see a boy trying to stand up for himself, but keeps being kicked down, sand kicked in his face.
I see a boy lost, not knowing where to turn for help, left to fend for himself.

But

In my days of joy
I see where I draw my strength from, my strength comes from the Lord.
I see grace that surpasses all understanding. Grace that keeps me alive.
Grace that allows me to be me.
I see a man rising from the ashes, a man picking up his sword ready for battle.
A man preparing to take his place in this world, facing the enemy head-on.

In the end
I see a man that lived his life without regrets.
I see a man that came out victorious.
I see a man that learned from the past,
applied it in his present life and for that now have peace in his heart.

In conclusion
I saw a boy going through pain and suffering (physical and emotional).
I see a hardened man rising up, learning from the past and preparing for his future.
I see a man in the near future, fulfilled, at peace and living a godly life, serving Christ.
May I become like this man.

God's Solution

Is there a pill, a prayer or principle 
to undo the damage of many years? 
To suppress my emotions 
or hide the truth? 
to make gone with the old,sinfull nature?

I have searched all over, 
tried every DIY-solutions, 
but all have fallen short 
and been found wanting.( Daniel5:27)

Its time to get to the roots, 
to humbly face the truth, 
regardless of pain and fear. 
For the time has come, 
the season has dawned  (Ecclesiastes 3:1), 
For Him who began the good work in me, 
to continue this slow and painfull process, 
the long-suffering, continues moulding - 
for the final outcome - 
To be transformed in His image, 
the likeness of Christ. (Philipphians 1:6)

Warrior I Am

As He is God 
I am in His image, created 
As He is strong -
I am strong

As He is fierce 
I am fierce 
As He angers 
I anger

As He lead 
I follow 
As He command 
I do

As He is wild 
I am wild 
As He is adventurous 
I am adventurous

As He is free 
I am free

As He is the Father 
I am His son 
As He is God 
I am in His image, created

The Lord is a Warrior 
The Lord is His name. (Ex 15:3) 
I am a warrior 
Neil is my name.

Memories

I remember the first day my eyes fell on you. 
Saying "your beautiful" -  before a "thank you" and I blushing smile -  you ran off and left me there with nothing else to do.

I remember the day we sat in a tree.
It was the first day we fell inlove, you and me.
We sat there for hours talking about life and its dramas, not knowing the things that's going to harm us.
 
I remember the night when our first kiss left me weak in the knees. 
But with a touch of your hand
you left me there stranded, 
not knowing how to handle it
you gave a sweet little giggle 
and blew out the candle light.

These memories haunt me every night of every day.  

I keep phoning, but you will not answer.
Everything you did to me, doesn't matter.
Only thing I want to have is you with me.
My heart is aching, can't you see?

Everytime I close my eyes, 
Everytime I fall asleep,
Everytime I dream of you
I miss you Rosalind

Everytime I hear your name
Everytime I see your face
Everytime I think of you
I realize that I don't want to live without you.

Hope

Lord I saw Your face last night 
when I looked at the sky. 
You were smiling.

You said: "it will be okay, I will make a way in your dark times"

And everytime I hear Your voice, 
Jesus, 
Everytime I feel Your touch, 
You make me know that I can face tomorrow, 
just one more time.

And all my friends have gone away,  
 loved ones went astray, 
yet You're still near me.

And even if the wind blows by, 
I feel warm inside, 
Because Your love comforts me in these testing times

this is for a man of God. A true leader and an inspiration to others
