what’s mine will come,
but what could’ve been haunts me,
falling has every chance to be beautiful;
but all the flowers grew back as thorns.
the most beautiful type of fear- hope,
when trust is broken- sorry means nothing to me,
i could tell you i deserve better,
because i know for a fact that i do,
ignoring the truth for temporary happiness-
life is infinitely infinite.
everything is supposed to fall into place,
forever until the end i suppose,
replaced my brain with my heart-
signed a liability with the devil.
they promised me it would all make sense again,
but i’m losing everything i’ve ever known,
i exist in nothing but the moments,
doubt does not deserve me;
you do not deserve me.
how could i forget i am capable?
i was robbed of every star i caught,
hell is empty and they stand in my life,
why is it that chaos is my only friend?
i wanna feel all of the emotion,
how do i think when im surrounded by clouds-
bleeding from the top-
what’s mine still has yet to come.

When we come out of lockdown,
Will we invite the old uptown?
To fit them for a crown,
Or send them downtown
For someone to put them down.
Will we look to them to make the economy stable?
Or pass the baton to those less able,
Will we be lining up to sit at their table?
Or kicking them out to the stable.
Will we seek their wisdom?
Or facilitate their doom,
So, we can take over their room,
And pull down the shades on our own gloom.
My hope is that we listen to economists,
Who may not be sentimentalists,
Yet can recognise valuable assets,
And those who they would like to cross off their lists.

Our Body Can Be An Asset Or A Liability…
Our body can either be an asset or a liability.
It can glorify God, or be given to immorality.
God gave us our body to have fellowship with him.
This fellowship was broken by Adam’s sin.
God designed our bodies to bring glory to his name!
During the last 2000 years…
Things haven’t been the same!
We can offer our lives to Christ in dedication.
His death on the cross brought his gift of salvation.
Rather than offering our bodies to sin and lust.
Through Christ… We can give God our trust!
Let’s offer our bodies in obedience to THE KING!
Christ is our righteousness!
Our everything!
May we allow his love to purify our hearts.
As a Godly transformation within us starts!
May we be renewed by the power of God’s word!
His message of eternal life must be heard!
Won’t you give your life to your savior today?
Jesus is the truth... The life... The only way!
The life-changing power from him
rings loud and clear!
One day very soon… He shall appear!!!
The glory of the Lord reaches all of mankind!
Today is the day of salvation!
NOW is the accepted time!
