Today I travel back (in my mind) to Deutschland
I long to meet my younger self and gently reprimand
To say: “get saved and epistemologically understand
Accept the Christ who kept the law, bore the wrath, the tree
Who died for sin and calls for soul and mind to reprieve
To walk repentant, cruciform, and truly free
I would intercede for him as Christ has done for me
And wonder what that earlier Grace might let me be
But better late than never, thanking The Trinity
Powerful Lord, how can it be,
patience one, that you would free,
protect, plead for, and intercede,
provide my every present need.
Placate my fears, by perfect love,
purchase me through sinless blood;
'Peace', I ask, from God above.

Novena Prayer to St. Benedict
Oh St. Benedict who is glorious
Grand Model of All Virtues
Bringer of Grace from the Almighty
I humbly kneel before thee
Protect me from all dangers & foes
Let me have the blessings God endows
And avoid whatever God forbids
Grant me the favors & graces I need from God
For the troubles in life that I had
As your kind heart directs to those being inflicted
You do not abandon those whom to you devoted
That is why I ask you to intercede for me
This petition (name of petition) I present to the Almighty
If it is for His glory & my spiritual relief
Oh St. Benedict who is great
Help me to maintain my faith
Live as a faithful child of God
Die as a faithful child of God
Let His will that is holy
Be done unto & through me
That I will be forever happy in his heavenly kingdom.
Amen.

(written this day when I bought the “Jubilee Medal of St. Benedict”)
It's all about love
do unto others what
you would want others
to do unto you
forgive someone who
wronged you
do it through love
breathe new life
into a lost soul
who's lost hope
and thinks suicide
is the only option
If you see someone
in need
don't be a bystander
intercede
to see what you can do
to make a difference
in someone's life
it's all about love
do unto others what
you would want others
to do unto you
Jesus you are with me
I see all I need is to trust in You My God
Jesus you are with me always
I know you are God I know you are with me
Love guides me to never surrender
Holding onto you Jesus forever
All the dead are with me now
All the dead are alive now in Jesus Christ forever
the living might doubt all the dead have no doubts
Jesus I love you cause your my best friend from forever
I sing with you Lord Jesus in my heart every second
Just because I did not get my results does not mean Chuck norris and DMX did not intercede I know they did Jesus showed me they did
Just because I asked the dead mafia and dead prophets and apostles and mother marry and Jesus to intercede does not mean my prayers were not answered in fact I have faith they were answered and all are saved as He showed me I believe in my heart Jesus gave me true visions of eternity!!
Dear Mr Putin.' At this time, of world need
Is there? Any possibility? In the middle east
Conflict you could intercede.? After so many millions of lives were tortured and lost, just in your own Russia, when hitlers
Armies marched across, i will give that monster no more time..I move back to today and now, and the need of a well balanced character.' In a world of deceit, well defined.
Amid, threats of global chaos.' I beleive you
Would have the ear; of others,
who lead that
Might assist, and to be fair..Its you and trump i
Have mostly studied, so here i will desist.'
you i
See are a tested statesman, who holds his
Line, and protects his reserves, a Christian
By self assertion, dear Mr Putin would you
Perhaps now serve.? By contacting those you feel, are pragmatic.' To bring such mayhem
We now face to heel.' I ask in Christ as a bondsman..Can you project some sanity.?
Maybe? (broker with others,) a world calming deal.'
Oh, aaaaay
Adonai Lord master, dear me,
if I may intercede,
May I interject in interjection, my earnest, plea?
Father, God place me
Place me in, in the right direction.
Under your light.
I lift you up, I lift you up, I lift you up.
I praise your name.I raise my hands arms and eyes up.
Let it rain , let it rain, rain unto me
Hallelujah, I lift you up,
Glory, shines, I lift you up.
Dirge, requiem, highest praise, I lament
I lift you up, I lift you up, I lift you up.
I praise your name.I raise my hands arms and eyes up.
Let it rain , let it rain, rain unto me
I lift you up. I praise your name.
I raise my hands, arms and eyes up. Let it rain, let it rain, Lord, you rain in me
Hallelujah, I lift you up.
I shall praise you
I will rise you up
Jehovah Jireh, I lament, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH.

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2026
Many times, my heart stands still
Listening, breathing, breaking
So certain this cancer isn’t God’s will
Knowing it is darkness that is always taking
Many times, my soul falls into fear
Whispering, murmuring, feeling
Lost among the pressures of each tear
Praying for my Savior’s precious healing
Many times, my spirit needs consoling
A blessing, a miracle, sanctification
This cancer’s hatred is so controlling
But there is a love at my foundation
Many times, my prayers are unspoken
Lost on wordless lips who need
Because of cancer, my heart is broken
But I know One who will intercede
Many times, cancer tries to write my story
Filling me with lies – dissuading light
But there is hope, awaiting me in glory
Where Jesus wins even the worst fight
Dear brightest sun and moon of throne of prophethood
Oh, owner of messengercy, end times' prophet of Lord
For your glory "if it weren't for you" recited by God
Namely you are the guide of universe dear Muhammad
Surah of Shems and Duha has come for the fame of your face
Light of ripeness of your honor brighten the universe
Dear Prophet of Lord intercede for Gazali's illness
Whom is a sinner of your ummah and one of public's helpless
Written By Bursali Mehmed Gazali
Translation Onur Ünlü
One name is Mustafa one name is Ahmed
Let pray be upon Muhammed
At the apocalypse for us intercede
Let pray be upon Muhammed
His light fills the worshipper's heart
His praise prospers the heart's wealth
Lots of prayer is man's comfort
Let pray be upon Muhammed
If you wish to manage the state
Only worship to almighty Lord
Give prayer to honorable clean soul
Let pray be upon Muhammed
Dervish Moses be sincere in your deed
Obey to orders of superior prophet
There it is heaven's straight path
Let pray be upon Muhammed
Written by Dervis Musa (Dervish Moses)
Translation Onur Ünlü
Your Ummah has been line by line
Their eyes are full of cry
In and outsides are full of light
I have seen dear Prophet
Your garden I have watched
Placed the moment into my heart
At that minute real faith
I have found dear Prophet
At your mosque I stood
To your tomb I stared
Was infinitely inspired
Overflowed dear Prophet
Face to face with Faithfuls
Knee to knee we seated
Let you to us intercede
Kindly please dear Prophet
Lover have found his love
My heart is full of peace
What a blessed road it is
I have passed dear Prophet
Written By Yahya Soyyigit
Translation Onur Ünlü
With your love lovers, let them burn dear Muhammad
Drinking wine of love, let them quench dear Muhammad
One who is in love with you, sacrifice himself for you
The sun of two universe is you dear Muhammad
For ones who love you, let you intercede for them
For derms who has love, you are life dear Muhammad
The purest loved you and you are sultan of whole
Let lifes sacrificed for you dear Muhammad
I am in love with that face and became nightingales of rose gardens
The one who doesn't like you let them burn to flames dear Muhammad
Life of Dervish Jonah, universe of intercede resource
Sultan of every worlds is you dear Muhammad
Written by Dervish Jonah (Yunus Emre)
Translated by Onur Ünlü
Let my life for you sacrificed
His name lovely himself lovely Muhammad
Come and intercede to this helpless servant
His name lovely himself lovely Muhammad
Faithfuls suffer in this earth a lot
Hereafter there will be plesure and enjoyment
From eighteen thousand worlds' selected
His name lovely himself lovely Muhammad
Traveler of seven leveled skies
Above bound of Creator flied
In his ascension for Ummah prayed
His name lovely himself lovely Muhammad
Four caliphs are his paradise neighbor
Who is in love with him is away from evil
He is sultan of creations as a whole
His name lovely himself lovely Muhammad
What Dervish Jonah does in here without you
Real prophet without doubt and mistrust is you
Whom don't obey you faithlessly as an infidel go
His name lovely himself lovely Muhammad
Written by Dervish Jonah (Yunus Emre)
Translation Onur Ünlü
He carried the stench of death upon him
so he had, from birth, and all knew but he.
All he met, unknown, sang a silent hymn
that he would not touch, so extend the spree.
Yet, he lived amongst them, as fate decreed
for those, caressed who had such little choice
turned to other deities to intercede;
they were not there, or did not hear their voice.
So death followed him, a pitying trail
across far distances, and endless space;
leaving a few, untouched, to mourn and wail;
that is the cycle of our human race.
The world is bleeding; anyone can see.
Red with blood it is indeed.
Oh, when from pain will we all be free?
A sickness infects the bourgeoisie
while we suffer from callous leaders’ greed.
The world is bleeding; anyone can see.
You can’t disguise wealth’s stench with sweet potpourri
when slaves to poverty are mired in their need.
Oh, when from pain will we all be free?
Hunger and disease are the sad reality.
It only seems corruption is what’s guaranteed.
The world is bleeding; anyone can see.
Oh, the misery from which so many cannot flee.
Many try to just get by yet can’t succeed.
Oh, when from pain will we all be free?
No man can offer up a good Plan B.
Only God one day will intercede.
The world is bleeding; anyone can see.
Oh, when from pain will we all be free?
