Best Beholden Poems
Valley of despair,
eager, burns eternal flames,
delivering souls.
Loathsome lake of fire,
choking forth ash and sulfur,
swallowing the damned.
Cursed, unholy ground,
biblical euphemism,
forge of wickedness.
brothers and sisters
bow your heads
and lift your hearts
oh heavenly father
this morning we rise
and step a bit closer to thee
the twilight, the eyes that see
we give thanks and praise for these
may the fruits of our labor be bountiful
and the nectarine oh so sweet
keep the door to our hearts open Lord
so others may join us to feast
in Jesus' name
amen
She never stopped talking, but now silence is golden
She ran off with the lodger, to him I'm beholden.

"BEHOLDEN"
three decades ago,
something died
inside of me.
how grateful I have
been.

Each milestone sees him as evenings enfold
Where crystals touch his soul with chilling cold,
A lantern shines through his painted face
While his robe waves upon a steady pace,
Until he comes to an old trove without doors
Which felt welcoming like glown summer shores,
And he slumbered on grass greener than mould
Through the moon's shaft, he watched God's eyes, behold.
I’m not beholden to you,
certainly not because of your riches
I’m not compelled to do
any of your narcissistic, selfish wishes
Your vain thoughts
of having me under your control,
it ain’t happening ... oh, no
What?
Become beholden to you
and lose my soul —
You better hold your breath some more
I’m not beholden to you,
therefore I will not comply
Don’t attempt to legally enslave me,
but a rich fool always gon try
Nevertheless, if you persist:
May you get a cankered sweet gold tooth,
may you get a devil cake gout belly
Let gourmet delicacies become worms inside of you,
let your hardened mind turn into soft, infirm jelly
My soul is not indebted to you,
I’m not beholden to your power in the least
Like lightning striking out of the blue,
the judgment of God arises always from the east
I am the son of the fallen Adam
I should've burn in Hades
But I've repented
I was wrap up tied up fallen
Headed for the burning Pitts
Now the life is right for midnights
But let me inform you JESUS is right
He is the light
Now I am ever so thankful
That JESUS was chosen
You are beholden
I choose to be engulfed in the flames
As I reslinquous my wordly father of lies Lucifer
How do I know you're father of lies
I know because I opened my spiritual eyes
Now I am so ever thankful
That JESUS was chosen
You are beholden
And just in case the world be wondering where I've been
It's not where I am but where I'm going
The justice is sentence by God's blessings
His grace is sufficient. His grace is my withness
I am blessed by the Son of the Lamb
I am
Mercy
Now am so thankful
That you JESUS were chosen
You are beholden

Beholden on
verse 1.
How do you measure, have any pleasure;
Of love
That's so pure, my amour, my love, my love
What is Gods plan come hold my hand
And
It's sure love my true love, amour
chorus:
You are chosen;
By me and God;
You are the woman that I would leave mom and dad for...
Chosen, beholden Ooh woman;
I'd be holding on to you spirit, as I love you for your soul;
Beholden On, beholden on;
What's going on I want you to be mine;
Forever time, I thank God for you;
I am forever, beholden to....you;
verse 2.
How do you separate, all the delicates;
Simplicities,
That's so sure, my amour, my love, my love;
What is Gods stand come hold my hand;
And, let us walk on heaven on the streets of gold;
The love, a love ordained allowed by the Father,
reframe:
It's sure love my true love, amour, your my beholden;
And you will be the one that I'll be holding
I'll be holding
Beholden on

from anthology "Sweet Sonata"
I've done this audibly and solely in my closet
To him holy wholly now I'm speaking sharing in text now
How true He knows my heart and how I'm ever grateful for all His blessings Even though I don't continue to always say it daily
But in my sub-consciousness in my spirit I know that I am increasingly blessed And I know that He needs to hear that I love and thank Him Always
He loves me ever so and I love Him just as much.
I wish I could love Him more so more.
But if I speak it allow Aloud and Believe In My Heart. Amen
You know, no one can measure your love of God in your heart but God.
His love overflows through and in me no man can see how.
He's touched my heart and how I also believe renewed stilled loved chosen
And approved Worthy of His love, for some reason especially for this day
His day, in His will, His way I am His love and I feel loved I m beholden
And I know that He needs to hear that I love and thank Him, Always
SOLEY IN MY CLOSET BEHOLDEN I AM PRAYING-

from anthology “WORSHIP LEADER”
I'M BEHOLDEN I NEED HOLDING
Hold me so that I won't fall
Speak to me talk when you call
I'm beholden
I need holding
Shy away from your insecrities
Inhale, exhale breathe
I'm beholden
I need holding
Tell me you love me
Hold me before time
I'm taughtering
Weavy and bobbing
Lord, knows I need holding
I'm beholden
I need holding

Eye Beholden-
beholden are birds bankrolls beautifully
I beholden both basis beholds bravely
the beholden betrays brilliantly
I beholden blood buffaloes blindly
the beholden bath becomes boldly
the beholden bread brings blissfully
the beholden basket begins brutally
