Now That I Have Won My Love's Heart
Now That I Have Won My Love's Heart
Now that I have won my love’s heart and trust,
I must prove myself as a worthy choice
And secure the fickle bond between us
When others challenge for her hand and voice.
They utter words to sway her opinion
And whisper sweet nothings into her ear
(To paint me as a loathsome perception),
Ready

Forever Now
Not the worship of ashes
but transmission of fire
Time at its best
will the Muses inspire
Nostalgia and tears
rebury the past
With passion incarnate
— this moment to last

NOW MORE THAN EVER
May we be blessed to pray for love…
whether it comes directly from our heart
or guided by a God from up above…
for never in our lifetime
as a country
as a people
has there been a greater need for love.

I AM NOW FREE
His fists were the words he knew best,
A language of rage, a constant test.
He built a throne on her broken trust,
His kingdom a wasteland of bitter dust.
She served him strength, he gave her fear,
A daily ration of every tear.
He twisted her heart with his cunning lies,
A mirror that showed him in her eyes.
He called her

A home for now
Appearances
in time
seem as living space
a home for now
a place which allows
the morning paper
with coffee and
planning a day~
a story unfolding
with expectation and
maybe emptiness~
perhaps suggesting
bondage as freedom~~

here now reborn
ignorance the cause, delusion the result
with ego in control, spewing imaginary fears
we fell down a bottomless abyss of dread
suffering pangs of slow strangulation
we had nothing to show for life lived thus far
as we helplessly watched organic form decay
pausing flow of thought, shifting into the void
we asked the existential question, ‘who am I?’
whereupon divine magnetism rose

Briam, then and now
Briam, then
I'm Briam,
I'm the one who's always by 'em.
At the fair, he listens to every sound,
and sometimes begs to go on the merry-go-round.
As for the other rides, he's deathly afraid to try 'em.
Liam, now
I'm Briam,
I was the one who was always by 'em.
At the fair, he listened to every sound,
and sometimes begged to go on

It’s Always Hurricane Season Now
The gates are thrown open!
Wipe that sneer off your face
Surrender to the thundering God
Or I His prophet will so help me do it for you
You just didn’t want to see what you’ve always known
You are welcome here whatever your sins and wicked ways
If you will but open your eyes and See
Pitch a

A New Idea
It’s a brand new big idea
The banned country of such size
So I want to make it clear
Either way it looks unwise
Wasn’t Germany at war
In Bach’s time, and wasn’t France
Fighting England till the score
Levelled up by circumstance
But they never used to ban
Scholars travelled, merchants traded
Painters painted, music men
Wrote their stuff while the crusaders
Fought their sacred

Knowing The End Affects The Now - 1 Thessalonians 5: 1-11
God's word declares that the end will come
to know that Jesus will return
this is for the believer's comfort
believing your pleas, He won't spurn
Living here in the here and now
affects our endeavours to serve
looking upwards to the great day
turns us to follow on full of nerve
Remind ourselves of Jesus' sacrifice
dying in our place for our salvation

MY DAYS NOW HALCYON - My Song Two Contest
MY DAYS NOW HALCYON
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I embrace the sun's lavender glow,
for time has etched my story,
one of wisdom, silent knowing
an ancient river softly flowing.
Refrain:
sepia memories have come and gone
reflecting upon my days now halcyon
these eyes have seen a thousand dawns
regretting times when others I did wrong
self-forgiveness becomes my swan song
wondering if in my waning years I’ll

To the A C T, Now; all come together'
On a hill exists a house of tards.
We send them now.. Our worst regards'
They listen to foreign powers..
They work dark stuff.!
We must now invoke the constitution
For we have all had enough.!
