Holding on to that which brings me down
Idealogy with logic that maybe I can turn it around
How low must I crash before I've hit the end
Stubborn, hearted fool, don't believe in your friends
Cling to the false lies/ the ones you hold so dear
You can carry this load so there's nothing to fear
BUT.....what if, for a change, you could share your load
And have peace like no other, something you could never behold.
Give in to his love for his mercy will suffice
There is no love greater than one of sacrifice
So no matter the hearache, give it to the Lord
For he can help like no other/ whether your rich or poor
Seasons will come and seasons will go
But there is always a saying that you should learn to know
The Lord will giveth and he will take away
But his love for you will forever remain.
It seems the angels were singing a song,
And their melody pleased God’s ears;
Singing of to whom such love belong,
They could subdue all pain and fears.
He asked them about who became
Possessed of a kind of love so grand.
He was told of the sweetest mortal name
That ever satisfied the hearts of man.
The dear name “Mother” God then heard,
It giving sound to the throb of His heart,
As if such a title was that preferred,
And such a figure so honored in classic art.
My own dear mother was second to none,
And enjoys her deserved Elysian rest.
Thus since down from heaven came the Son,
Her role and function is eternally blessed.
Guarded Heart
I now guard my heart..
With walls of stone..
Built slowly..one at a time.
I watched my life crumble..
Before my very eyes..
I gave you my love..
You tossed it aside.
You crushed our love..
As if it ..were never to exist.
Why did you do this?
Fate's terrible twist.
The place in my heart you once held..
I try so hard to find..
Feels so dark and cold..
Once so safe and warm..
I wonder..
What will be left behind?
God's plan for us..
So hard to see..
For yesterday is gone..
Tomorrow ..yet to be.
Please.. walk with me Jesus..
Shine your light brightly..
For without it..I cannot see.
Surround me with your love..
For without it ..I cease to be.
Inside my heart..
Your love held one precious part..
My Jesus holds the other..
The peaceful difference is..
God's love will never part..
His love..
Forever guards my heart.

Kneeling before the cross,
A simple sign of faith
A potent symbol of his love
A symbol whose holy shadow
Casts the light of love across the world
I am in the presence of the Lord
I feel His hand on my shoulder
His love in my heart
I find I am at peace
In the presence of the lord
I feel His reassuring presence
The Son of God
The Prince of Peace
Who died upon the cross
Who died on a hill in Calvary
And was born again
I feel the power of His glory
I feel at peace
I feel his Godliness
His Goodliness
He surrounds me with his love
And he comforts me
Making the world a less savage place
As I sink into the shabby old chair,
I reflect and think, "Well how is that fair?"
DoesGod not love us, is that not his will?
Or have we ignored his love for a thrill?
Created through greatness supposedly,
But half of what's here makes me want to flee.
What lays before us, before you and I,
POINTLESS! We know in the end we just die.
Yet still we will suffer these "acts of God",
But no one will say it, some may just nod
Our thoughts are silenced, and kept in our heads,
Me? I'd rather scream it out loud instead.
So hide your troubles and go with the flow!
Is he there? Is he with us? I say NO.
Put all your hope in Him
In so doing He will transform you
Into a sparkling and precious gem
Be silent for a moment
Only then can you hear what He is saying
Answers are revealed after praying
What you say you love me
You died to set me free
Says a small silent voice
I love you I have no choice
You are perfectly and wonderfully made
In Him
Time with out number
In Him
Life death and every wonder
Air space all human and race
Every place
In Him
As I arrived heaven… in love and light
I searched for my pen and pad, to write
a poem for paradise.
Alluring in my eyes,
hoping to write about this holy height.
Viewing the Holy One’s thrilling throne,
Hear the agile angel’s terrific… tone.
No noon, no night;
lifelong love and light.
My pen can’t paint paradise… all alone.
My love for you is as an unshakable
mountain,
but as fragile as a childs emotions,
my love for you is as deep as the ocean floor,
but yet this thing called my heart is able to
contain all that and more,
my love for you is as unique as mona lisa's
smile,
but in doing so,
its all worth the while,
i fight for this thing called "love"
its precious, contagous, stustaining from above.
my love for you is as stong as a warriors fight,
but as gentle as a mothers delight,
its my love,
my love for you,
unconditional,
uncontainable,
uncontrolable,
irreplacable,
pure,
and true,
its my love
my love for you and only you
