Empty hearts;
Broken faces;
Displaced smiles;
Feelings of ungratefulness;
Crowded minds;
Rushing times;
Points of uneasiness;
Hurting rhymes...
My Oh!!! My
Why?
Broken promises;
Misplaced harnesses;
How can I embrace my fellowman;
Where is his love;
Why he hate me so;
And what am I to do when he says NO!
I go to my heart,
and I love his heart;
Even tho, even tho he says go,
he says no;
I love him anyway,
cause Jesus says now, today;
For ever one needs someone;
For you don't in this world alone;
You don't live on this world alone;
I may can help you you may can help me;
I pray for you anyway, everyday,
you're not alone I pray for you every day;
For you don't live on this world alone;
I pray for you always....
I love you as I pray for you always.
Selah

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.
We’re joyful of the bassinet,
And fearful of the casket.
One, a place where life is new,
The other where the body’s through.
Bassinets, though temporary
Start a life’s eternal tarry.
Bassinets reveal new birth,
And caskets case a family’s mirth.
In bassinets, lie new creations,
While caskets are a demarcation:
A point in time when death imparts
Eternity as flesh departs.
In silence, contemplate the casket
Then voice the question if you’ll ask it:
We all have had our bassinets,
But who is ready for the casket?
Our time on earth is fleeting, feign;
For after death, forever reigns.
Bassinets begin life’s option:
To follow God and His adoption.
Set not your heart on passing pleasures,
But seek the Lord’s eternal treasures.
So when a casket lays you down,
You’ll rise again, forever crowned.
Psalm 49:15 “But God will redeem my life from the grave;
he will surely take me to himself. Selah NIV
My heart sore beats for you, my love
Is ever more true softened hues
Are those hues in my eyes
These colors I see, are no longer in pride
And in you I am more than alive
And in you I am more than survived
And in you I breathe I live, I feeI, I see that I'm in so real
It is in you that I am more than alive
It is in you that I am alive
My heart beats with devotion
My love is ever so flowing
Like a ship on the ocean
And there's nothing so beautiful
Nothing more beautiful than the you,
That's in me Oh Father God and this I so my soul believes
My heart sore beats for you, my love
Is ever more true softened hues
Are those hues in my eyes
These colors I see, are no longer in pride
And in you I am more than alive
And in you I am more than survived
And in you I breathe I live, I feeI, I see that I'm in so real
It is in you that I am more than alive
It is in you that I am alive
Hallelujah Selah
And in you I am more than alive
And in you I am more than survived
And in you I breathe I live, I feeI, I see that I'm in so real
It is in you that I am more than alive
It is in you that I am alive
Hallelujah
MINE ENEMIES UNDER MY FEET
My enemies under my feet
I have wounded them that they were not able to rise nor speak
They are fallen under, under my feet
Selah……….. Praise God
For you have girded me with strength unto battle
You has subdued under me those things that have risen and matter
Under me those mine enemies are
Under me, Under my feet
My enemies under my feet
I have wounded them that they were not able to rise nor speak
They are fallen under, under my feet
Thos has also given me the necks of mine enemies
So that I might destroy them that hate me
They whom cried out but there was none to save them that hate me
Why, now cause there’re under my feet
Each and every soldier
Each and every enemy of God
All that is woven into the cloth of the Lord
They cried out but there was none to save them that hate me
Why? Or why because my Lord God has placed them under me
Yes…under me..
MINE ENEMIES UNDER MY FEET
My enemies under my feet
I have wounded them that they were not able to rise nor speak
They are fallen under, under my feet
Selah……….. Praise God

I DECLARE WAR!
We are the few against the many — sheep led to the slaughter,
paraded ’around like martyrs fed into sin’s war-machines.
We live in dark days but are not overtaken by darkness;
broken-boned but not broken-hearted.
A light in the face of death — and all shall receive justice!
“Vengeance is mine,” thus saith the LORD. (Deuteronomy 32:35)
My God will have His righteous revenge.
To evil men, dark hearts, and lying lips I offer a choice:
Repentance or Reckoning.
Everlasting Life or Eternal Death — because I declare war!
I declare war on small vision, empty dreams, and useless ambitions!
To hell, witchcraft, bindings, hexes, vexes, and weaves — to the very man of sin himself I declare war.
I declare war on passive Christianity, weak churches, and slothful contentment!
My LORD OF LORDS comes riding in on a white horse: to judge the living and the dead riding with ten thousand of His saints. (Revelation 19:11–16) — Selah.
We are battle scared, yes — but not defeated. Even in darkness hope answers.
And on that day every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD! My knees will bow willingly. Will yours?
This is my rallying cry, One day every heart will answer what it now ignores, I only wish for all men to experience the love of Christ, What will you choose?
AMALGAMATION OF THE RICH AND POOR
Who was this poorly dressed in nails and thorns?
Who was this richly wrapped in aloe and myrrh?
Secretly, Joseph of Arimathea, discipled by Him,
and Nicodemus in the dark of night, questioned Him.
These two, who must have believed, even loved
the condemned, cursed, crucified — together
they touch...selah...the dead body...selah...wrap
Him with linen cloth (perhaps the cloth had covered
a scroll of the law) The riches of this burial...of the poor
...selah...seventy five pounds of spices...important men
...humble and gentle. They laid Him in a tomb cut for
the rich, for a king perhaps. They honored the sign…
Here lies the King of the Jews. Whose body wrapped
with strips and spice, left on a cold, dark ledge...JESUS
But…not for long...selah

Selah: the reader to pause and ponder the previous thought
Words Lovingly Written
With the firm held touch of a pen
Soft-spoken words unimagined
The peace of Christ inside the heart
The grace of His eternal forgiveness
God has created nothing more than beautiful
Pen in hand, words from Him so lovingly…
God has words lovingly written
SELAH

My body lies dormant
Now it’s too late to move
O’ I had a chance to praise Him
In the flesh, now I’m only spirit
What did I do, now it’s too late too?
Praise with my voice
I had a choice
I chose not now I’m physically gone
Now my spirit sings His songs
Selah Glory Holy Hallelujah
My body still, it’s over;
My spirit soul rises;
What did I do, now it’s too late too?
Now not In the flesh, now I’m only spirit
O’ I had a chance to praise Him
In mine body, now I’m ever closer
Near Him chances to greater praise Him
In the flesh now gone, now I’m only spirit
His praise no longer in mine lungs

The ides of March are upon us.
The air is crisp and cold,
And I set out with my two dogs,
To see what the night enfolds.
I love my nightly walks with them,
Just me and God and them.
It's how I set my heart to rest.
It soothes me once again.
My walks with them do calm me,
They soothe and heal my spirit.
This time with Him is like a balm,
Against the things that sear it.
The air is cold and sweet tonight,
It's overcast and dark.
No stars bejewel the sky this night,
As we walk through the park.
The night bird's call is sweet tonight,
Upon my weary ear.
I look for him in vain, I know,
For he will not appear.
Here and there are sparkles,
By my feet amid the grass,
Like fairies flitting to and fro,
Twinkling as we pass.
His touch is everywhere it seems,
We only have to look.
His promise never to forsake,
Is written in The Book.
There is one thing only,
That our God just cannot do,
He cannot lie, for He is Truth.
He's here, I tell you true.
Thus reassured I start for home,
My heart no longer heavy.
My step is light for He is here,
To lift my tax and levy.
"Faint not, for I am here for you."
He speaks to my lonely spirit.
I just have to take the time,
And listen so I'll hear it.
He's here for me, I know He is,
And He will never leave.
I just have to do my part,
So there's no need to grieve.
The road is long and rough, I know,
It's filled with twists and turns,
But if I lift my hands to Him,
My spirit soon returns;
For He will catch me up to Him,
In His strong arms I'm safe.
My Father's here, no need to fear,
I'm covered by His Grace.
"BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD. I WILL BE EXALTED AMONG THE NATIONS.
I WILL BE EXALTED IN THE EARTH.'
THE LORD OF HOSTS IS WITH US, THE GOD OF JACOB IS OUR STRONG HOLD. SELAH."
Psalm 46:10-11
WHO IS NEVER AT FAULT
Selah Selah Selah
eh eh eh wooo!
A wooo oh woo woo...
Who is at never, at fault;
Beloved we all stumbled,
In many ways yet even in this;
Already been dismissed;
It's been nailed to the cross;
Our past present and future hurts;
And imperfect that I am;
I am love loved not judged;
Even in my mistakes;
Oh my my my
why why why
Oh! Perfect God love an imperfect me;
When I am at fault past present future tense;
Have already been forgiven;
Who is at never at fault;
Though I do make faults My Father has already forgiven Hallelujah
