what IF-why
as you read these lines, Jesus were to part the skies
and you and I would both be physically breathing yet a life
neither of us, would have fuss nor cuss blood running down the streets
the mark of the beast already here I wouldn’t take it though
an atomic bomb heading for Omaha? explodes Jesus arrives over the horizon
I wouldn't (we) wouldn't die no matter how hard we tried
How is it just that I've predestinated my repentant
you ask I say WHAT IF WHY???????

Privileged…
Adopted* child of God
I’m cared for unconditionally
Being drawn to Him in prayer fellowship
Intimately, joyously, serenely midst pressures
With His sweet favour delighting me by His grace
Propelling me to render my utmost to Him for His honour.
*Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.

ASK THIS QUESTION DOES IT RAIN IN HELL---
Often times I’m reminded of myself;
I am just a vapor a soul/spirit breath;
Now I must get over it;
Must be held accountable of all of this;
What is it?
Seems like I’ll live forever;
Seems like I’ll never die:
Seems like my virtues are predestinated;
Often times I cry
Though the tears in my eyes come flowing down;
Sobbing sweat of my brow, tears continue to fall to the ground;
What is it?
A rebellion, a chastisement, punishment for all my wrongs;
Angels with harps high pitch-voices singing along;
Now I must get over it;
I am beholding to it;
Married to my sins and shame;
And in my divorcement, my choice is sent;
Seems like my virtues are predestinated;
Often times I cry
Seems like I’ll live forever;
Seems like I’ll never die:
Seems like my virtues are predestinated;
I AM DEAD my breath is gone I’ve closed my eyes;

Salamander dance
Do your Holy dance
Let your praise and the promise
Be your only chance
Predestinate your glance
Look on to the King
Whose mine and yours you sing
Tho, all dogs go to heaven
Even little boys and girls
Judge not be judged by man or bores
Be not caught playing with child like toys
and when the evening has come
Gonna put Satan on the run
Do your Holy dance, dance
Do your Holy dance,
Be your only chance
Predestinated your glance
Look on toward your King
Let earth and heaven sing, sing
Salamander, dance
Do your Holy dance

I am so thankful :
for the changes in my life,
for the valleys and deserts I've wandered,
for the mountains removed from my way.
I am so thankful :
for the tears that I've cried,
for every break in my heart,
for every challenge I've conquered.
I am so thankful :
for every bridge I have burned,
for every word left unsaid,
for all the sorrow and joy I've known.
I am so thankful :
for my beloved family and friends,
for all the memories we share,
for every precious, fleeting moment.
I am so thankful :
for all the ones who have come and gone,
for love unknown to man,
for a Saviour I call my own.
I am so thankful :
for those who are my friends,
for what we share together,
for my Heavenly Father above.
I am so thankful :
for my eternal home,
for predestinated forgiveness,
for my GOD's omnipotence.
I am so thankful :
for every chance I threw away,
for every risk I took,
for every place I've never been.
I am so thankful :
for the evening tides,
for all the above,
for Lessons Learned.
