Fresh Air

Shivers fall threw my body in oz
The doors were once thought to have locks
The unreachable stays in the distance
Scripts my peers had once written are now in the trash
Who are you to tell me who to be? How to act?
Im my own person, and ill do as I please.
What was once stopping me? Fear.
Fear of hate, lost love, and falling for bait.
Fear of disaprovement, disfunction, and unacception.
We were raised and taught on fear.
Who are we trying to impress? 
We are digging ourselves a hole, and loosing the directions out.
In over our heads, because of the publics view on how life should be lived.
Manicured nails, fake hair, tight jeans.

They say when you die,
your life flashes before your eyes.
Your prada pants and brittany perfume arnt what your going to see.
The moments shared, the tears shed,
the first night you spent with him in bed.

Shivers fall thew my body in oz,
As I realise, fear is there, but not as an obsticle, as a goal.
Sure, ill get knocked down a few times
and maybe loose the energy to stand up
But at the end of every storm, theres sunshine.
So pick yourself up and smell the fresh air
Because you only have one life, so why not live it without dispair?

The Wake

God words are piercing through the heart of man
Calling them out from there darken den.
God as given us a special fan 
Jesus Christ 
Who paid the price?
He cried in pain 
His blood on earth, a graceful stain.
Underline Jesus name 
Through his wonderful image we are well framed
The blinded world did seek
Beneath there feet they could not crush the weak 
Upon his back are the spiteful beads.
Aside his body is the hidden spear
Upon his head are the thorns of stations
In his hand toward his wrist are the scars of many nations
Upon his shoulder he carried the burden of sin
From beginning to end in Him we can win
Every pint of blood from His body drop 
To nurtured the earth crop. 
Through his blood was found purity 
Streaming all the way through Jeru'' city 
On mount Calvary he was sacrificed 
While the roman lay to play their dice
Not knowing the time 
That he paid for their crime
Has the angel prepare there trumpet and voices 
Knowing that Jesus made a perfect choice. 
Being raised from the dead, the heaven and the earth all rejoice.
The tears from God own eyes fell on earth 
It shook all the territorial turf 
Even The unknown deepest region 
Humiliating the devil and his legion.
Know thy fate
Before it’s too late 
His name is great 
Jesus Christ crown of glory 
Knows your story 
Why are you worried?  
His calling your name 
He will make you is greatest fame.

My Weakened State

As the waves rush over
	crashing down whatever is in its path
So do the things of this world
	crash down, bruising and tearing my life

I struggle to get to calmer waters
	only to be drug out again with the tide
Weak I grow with each attempt
	growing so tired, my body becomes limp

Then like a mighty RAGE beneath me
	I am thrown to shore where it is safe
My body battered and torn by the experience
	shaky and trembling, I lay there to rest

Through the bleak coldness of the night
	shelter is given me, by what I see not
Humbly I accept it, gratefully I cherish it
	like a warm blanket made just for me

As the sun rises, and the sand warms
	life returns to my soul and body
Strength builds ... and hunger increases
	I set out looking to satisfy my being

My hunger is not for food of this world
	it seeks a more gratifying feast not found here
No, not anywhere of this world, but in the WORD
	there my spirit feeds and replenishes my soul 

O’ Lord, for if you had not raised me from the depths
	I would have surely perished
Your loving arm reached down and pushed me to safety
	Your love called life back to my body

In you I live, through you I love
	by your hand I wish to serve
With you I walk, and because of you I am
	Thank you, Lord, thank you


Avoid

On a cliff I walk astride
A narrow path, trod and
Worn to mud, slippery
And fear in me sees
My body hit the rocks
Below with a fleshy
Bony thud! So I avoid!

On the street I walk behind
Some dodgy men that look
Suspect and fear in me sees
My body slumped in a dingy
Alley, my flesh and bones 
Are wrecked! So I avoid!

On a bench inside a church
I see a crucifix hanging and 
On it a man with thorns in
His head is pinned there
Languishing and fear in 
Me sees my body scourged
And flesh and bones
Ravaged! So I avoid!
