BENDED KNEES
Humble start
Moment to express
Earth to Heaven
Need to pray
The Cross on the mind
A world that doesn’t spiritually care
A warning in beware
The US President acting like a King
The Holy One being the sit high and look down watch
Some people in the world refuse to bend
That could very well be their end
Wisdom of Thy
Seeing eye to eye
The creator

On Bended Knee
Sword of
the noble
With fury
unsheathed
Trumping
dishonor
And knaves
unreprieved
Knighted in
armor
Endowed
from on high
Legend
heraldic
With duty

Teardrops On My Bended Knees
listening to that song called red rubber ball
moving on and surprisingly happy
she decided to choose another and say fare thee well
i decided to work to make myself well for thee
through it all, you have been my best friend
you are my whole family
you are my shelter of warmth that for so long has been amiss
you

In Praise On Bended Knees-
When I get down on my knees there's something above me...
Holy God
and I praise Him in awe
I praise Him long and hard

On Bended Knee
Time as ever
acts the thief
quieting youth
color of leaf.
Ironic paradox
always unfailing
takes the feeble
heals the ailing.
Dead of night
time acts content
under the moon
and its descent.
Seems so languid
but cleverly sly
time acts the foe
coming to spy.
Within the gray
on bended knee
whispers endless
as it tolls three.

Broken Dreams Bended Knee June 1, 2012
broken dreams, bended knee
Black or white, you and me
Seven minutes of pain-free again
Goodbye my life it was insane
The promised land has failed us all
Dreams have gone, we'll still walk tall
We stand united to fight the fight
United together we'll make it right
Human rights and color blind
We're gonna win and save

From the Ground On Bended Knee
I raise myself up and dust my self off
Getting ready to stand once again.
I'm ready I say, to stand and build
As i kneel to the floor and I pray.
Building alters day in and day out,
it's what I know to do,
It's all in the hope that one day not too long,
you Lord

On Bended Knee
Creator of heaven and earth
whose Son was born of virgin birth
one God, a trinity of three,
on bended knee, I worship thee.
Lord of kindness, mercy, and love
hailed on Earth and Heaven above
whose eternal spirit runs free,
on bended knee, I worship thee.
You gave life to clay with Your breath
God of birth, youth, old age, and death
You, who

From Bended Knee
You can take away health,
you can take away riches,
you can take my ability to see
But it will only cause me to feel
you more

On Bended Knee
Liking what things are supposed to be
instead of what they are
I spend my life in wondered lust
not near, yet so afar
Wishing the truth not what it was
but what it was meant to be
I spend my nights in wish filled dreams

On Bended Knees
On bended knees I felt the horrors
Of death as it gushed out blood on me
Behind closed eyes,
On perky breast of a female death.
