Haunted
Darkness.
Eyes widen more and more,
trying in vain to see.
Then other senses compensate,
I hear the faint rustle of dry leaves.
My body caught in the shock of fear,
refuses to move,
but I feel the wet tickle of a tear,
a lonely path from eye to ear.
Fast and shallow my breathing so loud,
the throb

Of Hope Arisen
Submerged
into the murky waters
of iniquity
O my dirty soul
how muddy these waters be
Slowly ... descending ...
into the miry quicksand
At the last glimpse of light,
my eyes are wet bricked in
O Lord, I cry,
but my voice is stifled
This desperate plea is clogged,
as my body falls deeper into the bog
Jesus Christ, please help me!
My Savior, I die ...

I Was Dead, But Now I'Ve Arisen
I was so thirsty I could've cried,
But, alas, the spring of my soul had long ago ran dry.
I could not even muster a single tear,
Not to relieve my pain, my fear.
I was so hungry no food was ever enough,
I was convinced if I suffered enough my soul would become tough.
I desperately sought some food that

Arisen - Great Glory With Each New Dawn
Arisen - Great Glory With Each New Dawn
When tragedy crushes day and dark night,
remnants of evil darkness thunders forth.
Then man's evil proceeds with all its might
as coldest wind blasting from the far North.
Hence my crying to - hold loving ship straight
and beseeching the One for mercy then.
Yet for such- one must abandon their hate,

We did end up making a major decision
And will name our first Child Has Arisen
Due to on this family having that effect
Don't know anyway I can be more direct.
Not only that each morning when he arises
We will find him to be so full of surprises
With quite a boy we both have been

Arisen To Shine
Breaths of life shall lead way.
From an obstacle to a stumbling stone,
From my skin to my bone,
I take breaths of life every day.
There’s no other way,
I can hear that tone,
That’s me knowing I’m not alone.
It’s meant for me each and every day.
I bow my head,
And close my eyes,
And say it’s great to be alive.
Lay down

He Has Arisen
at the end of the Sabbath day on the first day in the passion week
both Marys went to the sepulcher for Jesus' body they did seek
but before them stood an angel wearing raiment white as snow
he told them "fear not" as the one they seeked had to go
Jesus has arisen as He said He would
go
