Great blessing with faith, God fuses,
Grace in my heart, He infuses,
Thanks and praises, soul profuses,
As His vessel, me He uses,
His love, He never refuses,
Turn from sin, it sure confuses,
Leave away all your excuses,
He will save from all abuses,
Goodness to all, He diffuses,
God's light through heaven suffuses.
Amazed at what I see,
Reshaping my reality,
Watching it come to be,
By thinking differently,
Choosing to be me,
My dreams hold the key,
Escaping what i was taught to be,
Opening the doors i see,
Fear no longer an enemy,
A friend to teach me,
Where focus needs to be,
Feeding me options gracefully,
I'm amazed at the opportunity.
It’s the admiration in my eyes,
It’s your beauty that ignites that look.
For a moment, I pause
Not as though I’ve seen a ghost,
But caught in the thought
Of how lucky a man I am.
I’m simply someone amazed
Every time I look at her, it feels like the first.
That look, like I’ve been starved of light,
Unaware of it myself,
Yet she always notices.
Maybe it’s not just how I look at her,
But how we look at each other.
There’s fire in our eyes,
Sparks when they meet,
A quiet war between desire and tenderness.
You may wonder what it is that I see,
Beauty beyond measure?
Perhaps.
But more than that,
I see a reflection of love looking back at me,
And in her eyes, I understand
Why the beholder never looks away.
I postponed being amazed by time, a traveler without aim,
Until, before my soul could die, I learned,
That all that aches has dissipated like smoke under the silver moon,
A flock and a shepherd, shadows of a long-forgotten tale.
Whoever places my bare and fragile bones in an envelope,
Will write a letter of my cowardly and humble feelings,
The black angel, ruling over all that love touches,
Forbids your bleeding heart the wellspring that cries.
Bandaged with a death buried in the stretching future,
The eternity of the moment hides in the despair that surprises us,
The tears of my life, wilted fortune floods you,
The universe in my inspired soul seeks to hide away.
To our earthly life, I give an imponderable and gentle meaning,
Your perfection, my love, only you make it seem without pain,
You are the one who will birth my steps into eternity, forever,
Because your love, like a god, spreads within my soul.
Your love carries a dull dissatisfaction, ever-present,
Our contemporaries feel it and echo it along the way,
Announcing to the present-past, until the last breath,
That your Christ, my beauty, long ago ceased to exist, but turns into our dream.
Another election year
Hate seems everywhere
A mist of righteousness fills the air
Hate seems everywhere
Everywhere just look around
Hate so easy to be found
Unamazed why so many choose it
It is so easily to be fueled
Amazed how so many find it
So easily to be cruel
Hate seems everywhere
Everywhere, all around.
An unpleasant stench that surrounds
Turn down the discouraging nouns
Hate seems everywhere
Spew through emotions so unclear
Grooms an ignored atmosphere
in abyss of life's despair
Fed by paranoia and told fears
Becomes a common behavior
around election year
Hate seems everywhere
Greater than all, it seems,
Across a veil, Jesus beams,
I'm amazed by grace,
Choose positives for every race,
Today's Christian living,
Our gifts are for the giving,
Blessed smiles on every face,
Amazed, daily prayers in space....
I'd sit on his lap, content as can be,
until he'd slide those dentures out
and giggle with glee..
My two year old self would reach out
to grab, he'd suck them back in
before I could nab..
With time as I began to age his
talented teeth ceased to amaze.
No longer two and as wide-eyed,
I'd yell "stupid Poppa" and
from his lap slide..
As you cry
out to Glory
submissive letters
joint together
making words
a praise intimately
spoken sentences
Ironically admiration

I stand amazed
I stand amazed, and what do I see? Only God's wonderful love for me.
I stand amazed, and what beauty! I see God reaching down and rescuing me.
Yes, I stand amazed, and what do I see? God's beautiful face as He smiles at me.
I stand amazed, and what do I see? God's unconditional love that He offers me.
I stand amazed, and what do I see? an amazing love that is, oh, so free.
I stand amazed at the grace I see, His grace, and the pardon He gives freely to me.
I stand amazed, and what do I see? I see Christ's sacrifice on Calvary's tree.
I stand amazed, and what do I see? His wonderful grace is sufficient for me.
Yes, I stand amazed, and what do I see?
God's amazing grace truly amazes me.
Cold night and with the breeze, leaves were swinging,
Santa and Rudolph stopped puzzled they heard
From a small chapel, children were singing
Carols for Yuletide, such lovely each word.
Santa and Rudolph stopped puzzled they heard
On that hill everywhere covered with snow
Carols for Yuletide, such lovely each word.
A graceful star from high they saw it glow.
On that hill everywhere covered with snow
The bells rang but they remembered the boys,
A graceful star from high they saw it glow.
Santa had to transport to all, his toys.
The bells rang but they remembered the boys,
From a small chapel, children were singing
Santa had to transport to all, his toys.
Cold night and with the breeze, leaves were swinging,
I remember when I was a young man,
My manager has a sense of some place to go. He was a er, a screw head, a person that would not take it anymore. A man that stood up against the scum, the s the dogs, the filth, the . After meeting a person with allegations of guinea pigs and a court date for molesting his sister.
I watched my managers head, explode, because in an email the probational officer never said “hello, Hi, or my name”, “its “so ing rude” as she “makes me want to ing leave, I dislike her and can't work with her”! “SO, SO, So MUCH I'm thinking of quitting, because of HER”.
Some days I get bad ideas in my head. Next, I’m talking to the receptionist, and I tell her about a date tomorrow.
I told her my reservations, regarding meeting someone “she has two children” and “It' was hard to get over one boy”. “Dave, you have not met her yet, don’t think about the end”. People are cold and distant.
I smile as both the movie and life is true.
Be amazed by your strength,
it was given to you before your name was spoken.
Your strength is adored by many;
those who knew of your arrival.
They waited, patiently, knowing you are their merit.
Humble, mighty people who paved your way.
You stand on their shoulders, forever looking high.
Never turning back, only to regain their strength.
They walk with you; still, hold your head high,
for many are aimed to follow.
Steady your pace, walk on their green earth.
Know their steps, and unearth unturned stones, lessons are to be learned.
Be amazed by your strength;
It was given to you before your name was spoken.
AMAZED Holy Love Story
All that i know is that is love
And the love that i know it is yours
To God be the glory
You are now written in my story
And the love that i know it is yours
I am the words in your book
You are now written in my story
to God Our Father in His glory, in His glory you're mine and we're so worthy
I am the words in your book
To God be the glory
to God Our Father in His glory, in His glory you're mine and we're so worthy
All that i know is that is love
