Deteriorate my surface
Rebuild my surface
Strip me of my pride
Rob me of my strength
Let wells fill within my eyes
Test the length...
The length of my strive
Gain my well earned stripes
Rip away...
From my face
Diminish my acts
Show me my wounds from when
being attacked
Reveal my true self
I can learn from where I fell
Force my frontal lobe to combine...
With my mind
Make my brain, increase its change
Insult my intelligence
For my education will be my
confidence
Tell deep secrets about me
It'll transform into my best selling
stories
Create the beast, To become
unleashed
Untamed...Media, forecast it to be
insane
Let my name, Grow my fame
Title Me, Title it
I'm undefeated
When I was drowning in
the depth of destruction,
His raised me up with the
rope of redemption.
When I was sinking in the
sea of sin and sorrow,
He rescued me with the
rays of the rainbow.
When I was wallowing in
wants and woes,
He found me and freed me
from my foes.
Oh, now I see His
salvation...a special sight,
I now live in the land of
liberty and Lasting Light.
My faults are forgiven and
my future favoured,
My life is lifted in His love, I
am not laboured.
I have peace in Him who is
head of principalities,
He armoured me in His
arms in my daily activities.
Glory to God, who rescused
us when we roam...
And in Heaven He has
prepared us a holy home.
Amen

Adeleke Adeite.
I coudn't pay the debt of death,
so He bought me His blessed breath,
He entered the exit of the earth,
to bring forth salvation & strength.
Who could have carried the cross
or be disgraced amidst dust and dross?
Yet he lived to lift the load of loss,
& gave me grace and glory for gross.
For those in tears of toil and torment,
he was lashed & made to lament,
for those who suffer and are silent,
He gave up his life that mighty moment.
Amazing love sent to all who will live,
a blissful bond to all who will believe,
righteous for those who will recieve,
a pregnant purpose, who will percieve?
No one frustrates me like you do.
Blood rush to the head, pounding
pulsing metronomically.
No one makes me scream like you.
Banshee wails then growling
rabidly foaming at the mouth
No one makes my pressure rise like you.
I don't despise or detest or loathe
the way I do for you
No one makes me laugh like you
Love nothing more than you
Be safe and sound, take care, won't you?
I'll never have a son like you.

I HAVE SOMETHING NEW INSIDE OF ME SOMETHING THAT IS FRESH AND NEVER BEEN USED.
I SEE SOMETHING BRAND SPANKING NEW THAT BELONGS TO ME I AM OVERWHELMED WITH
JOY.
THIS NEW BEGINNING IS SOMETHING THAT I CAN LOOK FORWARD TO I AM READY FOR THIS
NEW JOURNEY.
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY BUT I AM LOOKING STRAIGHT AHEAD FOR THIS BRIGHT NEW DAY.
THE MORNING DEW SPEAKS TO MY NOSE AND THE BIRD'S SWEET MELODY IS SINGING TO MY
SPIRIT.
I CAN NO LONGER IGNORE WHAT HE GOD HAS IN STORE FOR ME I CANNOT IGNORE HIS
CALLING.
A NU LIGHT HAS APPEARED IN MY PRESENCE I AM ON A NEW STAGE A NEW SETTING.
I AM WANTING FOR THE DAY HE COMES BACK AND I CAN GO WITH HIM IN THE SKY
I've let this hate crawl in my heart for far to long,
It's time to stand and face the throng
of family, friends, and from the fog
comes a mirror; and I see,
a lone person standing there; me.
Even I am here to see myself,
and my figure is sitting upon a shelf.
it consumes and tells me that every thing's fine,
that im perfect the way I am, and that the sun's shine
shines because of me, and that's what made me happy.
But in that mirror, i see the shelf, and it's name-tag reads "Hate Itself"
and i see the sadness across myself, sitting, alone, on that shelf.
But past the mirror, then i see, everyone, and realize they're here for me.
To see me change to my once radiant self, would then, i realized, take me from the
shelf.
So with the hands of all i knew, they pulled me down from the shelf,
and i felt a sensation inside myself.
A loving, caring, warmer side that, when i felt, i gave a smile.
I know feel love, and my heart will mend,
i forced hate into my life; it told me it was my only friend.
But now i see the difference inside of me, and in my face, its plain to see that I've
changed for the good in me, now that christ has set me free.
Staring at the walls I feel out of place
It’s been so long since I’ve seen your face
I look out the window because I heard a sound
Hoping it was you but you’re not around
You leave me alone can’t you tell it’s a crime
I just want your love and a little more of your time
I walk to our favorite spot maybe you’ll be there
There’s still a scent of you lingering in the air
I inhale you and then cling to it
I’m suffering here and I need a visit
You leave me alone can’t you tell it’s a crime
I just want your love and a little more of your time
I wander our town but your absence makes it unreal
I’m lost and depressed I can’t help how I feel
I come back home but your miles away
Of course I will still wait for you for another lonely day
You leave me alone can’t you tell it’s a crime
I just want your love and a little more of your time
I dance
I sing
I praise
I throw my hands to you when the blessings are too much to understand.
I read your Word and can relate to the people.
Sometimes I sit back and wonder as I write, am I next to lead.
Every time I get close to understanding, the devil jumps in front and pushes me back to the wall.
Turn people away from the true knowledge.
Put pain in my fingers so I can't write.
Change my dreams into nightmares.
Make my gift feel lie a curse...
Many nights tears fall wanting someone to wipe them away.
Standing at the crossroads of lyfe not knowing which way to go.
Traveled down dark roads with no sign of light.
Even fell in the hole of confusion.
In the middle of a battle field, me against the world.
Only carrying the knowledge of His Word and my Faith.
As the devil continues to knock me down he asks me one thing...
"What is your greatest desire? Lyfe? Riches? Fame? The man of your dreams? The kids you always wanted?"
I look up to the sky, as the rain begins to fall and say...
"I want His love".
No matter how hard you hit me,I will always rise
No matter how miserable you make me I will never cry
No matter how difficult you make I will always try
No matter how agonising it is I will never die
No matter how you pray for my demise I will never die
No matter how you try to fox me I will know you are in disguise
Doesn't matter how I am subdued I will always rise,I will always rise.
I will not wake you with tears I cry,
To warm the bed where you lie;
The silence of your nights alone,
Never hear the winds that moan.
Never to touch my lips or eyes,
With your lips or tender sighs;
Your weary clay has turned to dust,
My lonely way has lost it's trust.
I bring a flower for your stone,
To grace a memory I bear alone;
Times spent in our happy years,
Are joined with joys and silent tears.
Make place for me ere I weep,
And wake you from your rest and sleep;
Make room for me to cry with you,
Hold me for I would die with you.
Let's capture all we used to be,
And find it all in eternity.
Thou quest is for the glory
Of Jesus
Fore He is the light
He gives' to me with
Complexity,
He seconds' me threw
The night
-
That makes' me whole
And worthy two fold
-
He reap's to me
Longevity
Which is my
Aspiration to behold
-
And to obtain,
And seek only His name
And to proclaim our
Sacriment's to Jesus
And thusly, remember Him
Alway'
Mind, body and soul
GF
I walk and search after my soul
Natural beauties, the dainties they told
Thru exploring, the secrets unfold
All weepy drama, the craving whole
The maze of things, the better known
But they have never satisfied my soul
No more to offer, to fill thirst for gold
Longin' after, the place of my soul
Where my spirit filled, my strength is whole
Where I call it sacred, to find, I roam
As man longs to worship, to ends at his tombs
Somehow, I feel, the ultimate unknown
Touchin' me gently, and filling me whole
Satisfy my emptiness, my thirst for gold
As the dear pants, reaching out, behold
The truth, one not belies, the search for your soul.

I obey and do as I am told
But poor Nigels now bought n sold
Awaiting me death on the twenty first O May
Harry Camping let me down not much to say
With re-calculation now its October twenty one
Let us prepare ready again to be finally gone
Dear Lord:
Please do not let me fall short'
Fore the love of Jesus
Is all telling
And is always' the same
Today, I ask for comfort
Oh Lord, hear my plea
And allow me
Your unrequited
Benefice to refurbish me
For this I pray of thee
I pray for your assurance that
My attitude won't be
So lofty and un-evenly
Sound, give me your glory,
Give me peace, give me happiness
As I pray for this day
With the tenacity
To pave the way
To deal with my sensitivities'
So let us pray
AMEN
GF
Some brief moments
Scattered ones
I feel the ego pull me back again
Always I recover when I witness the presence of my thread to God
And frequently you string that thread through my needle
And I sew great gifts for my fellow souls
You pass through me like wind
Our forces are undivided
You have lightened my heart
And help me turn around and see my own face again; my eternal face
The character of my spirit
The divine infinite soul I have always been and continue to be
I see me through you
Experiencing you is a truth I’ve always known.
Our love is eternal.
