no longer do I desire to be tempted
nor misled by the enemy
I need an upright spirit that's firm
and immovable inside of me
create in me a righteousness
like that of Jesus, the Christ
make my heart cleaner
as I walk this Christian Life
remove any propensity
to act in sinful ways
vacate any transgressions
In me now today
create in me a righteousness
like that of Jesus the Christ
make my heart cleaner
as I walk this Christian Life
A steadfast renewal
Your salvation I need to attain
create in me a clean heart
let a righteousness in me be obtained
let me draw nearer
to You once again
let me confess and repent
of all my sins
create in me a righteousness
like that of Your Son the Christ
make my heart cleaner
as I walk this Christian Life
Let me know abide
in your infinite grace
Renew me so your salvation
I can fully embrace
create in me a righteousness
like that of Jesus the Christ
make my heart cleaner
as I walk this Christian life

Prayer For Righteousness
Oh Father God, we pray for righteousness
That we reject all sorts of wickedness
Oh Lord Jesus, we ask You to make us upright
That we be able to set things right
Oh Holy Spirit, we beg for the straight path
That we can avoid God's burning wrath
This we implore to our Lord God. Amen.

Oh wooh a wooo OH
I AM the righteousness of you. Oh God;
Oh! God, turn me into the right person. Person., person;
For you Lord the righteousness of you. lord you;
It's you whom are worthy and worth it;
You can give me what I want, It's you, that is it;
The righteousness of you
Oooh oooh
The righteousness of you
Before I have victory , you take me to the battles;
Every delay of shifts every closed door;
In just so the part of your preparation list of and for me.
I am a rock prism primed under pressure. To shine when you're done , i'm a diamond
I ever shine so bright, I am the righteousness of you

WHEN MOON WEEPS the baleful rain will fall
The land beneath will be drenched and drowned.
Heav'nly springs will fill the horizon
Rushing, destructing and devouring.
Greed, lust and selfishness will be washed.
Righteousness, faith and love is our chance
The humankind can not run and flee.
Earth will be awakened WHEN MOON WEEPS.
Diminished upscored philosophies;
Perfected casualties optimistics;
Polarized nero marazzaries;
Fallacies at norm;
Oddities conform;
Where are the righteous perfected?

written words by James Edward Lee Sr
The witch sits at the window looking out
Seeing nothing but her own self no doubt
Reflected in nature’s grass and trees
All she sees is only that with which
her proud sense of herself agrees
So she cannot interact with it
And if the world presses itself upon her face
She screams in horror as if attacked in disgrace
By swarms of insects ready to sting
This is how it is here with us with almost everything.
All the nothingness that ever was
Is shrivelled up into the void of non-being
A hole of empty self-righteous laws
Of arrogance and self-justification non-seeing
Existing as a thing but not alive as being.
And the difference between living being
And nothingness is infinite.
I am not so-called religious , but sure to be righteous,
Always trying to take right move at every step of my journey.
Righteousness is real pivot of my life to honour .
Whenever any hindrance embowers or blocks my path
I analyse in rational way how to get rid of problem ,
I venture always keeping keen eye pointing righteousness.
I can neither compromise nor forgive obvious crime.
My sense of righteousness always guides me to act ruthless.
Noble kindness fails to deviate me from my strict decision.
My confidence is always associated with righteousness.
To act righteous, courage is the most important factor.
My strict moral principle is the base of righteousness.
O my life! What a beautiful disaster it has become!
For the doses of my sunny days and starry nights grew numb,
And the sweet caress of my existence has partly succumbed.
It paralyzed me—as though my foresight had been overcome
By whispers creeping into my mind like an intruder's hum.
If I could depose the noisy image of my tomorrow,
Would it bring me silent war or peace amid the undertow?
How could I unfetter the finitude of my own window?
For my soul could barely perceive the playful tongue of a foe,
Or a friend's delightful persona behind an ugly show.
Yet I lament that the world has made its own foolish nickname
When filtered righteousness and glamorous deceit have enflamed.
On whom should I lean when moral transgressions take on their name?
Or should I wish to fly to the Heavens far from where I came?
For illusions seem true—and truth can be an elusive game.
It struck me to the core when I heard about, the stand they are making..'
And the dismissal from (drainstream media) speaks of politicans quaking..
In Dublin before the Dai'l you'll find this
Gallant four.' Who are seeking recognition
For injustices of yore.' They know the pain
They've lived the grind. Of 'that institutionalised hell' dressed as benign
Intervention it never worked or aged that
Well, though fifty years have passed
Away.' Still nightmare shadows cling.'
Fluttering like the somber robes, that framed those that did such wicked things'
And the Dai'l today, attempts to smother?
The efforts unyeilding and brave, of these
Four survivors, who face the very grave.'
And not just for themselves alone' no
Their actions are aimed much; much higher..They want old a'herns promise
Made good, for by the devil; wasn't he a
Liar..' but there are many in the Dai'l today
Surely men and women.? Well found.' Who
Will take their cause to their very hearts so
That Eire.. Will know that its for justice they stand.' So all may say our lands to
Be mended at last 'to be sure.!'
Thou shall justify one's morals by their good heart and loyalty to kindness
It is perfectly fine
to chase wealth
to build a life of gold
and a career that sparkles in the sun.
But it is not fine to forget
what it means to be just
to lose the path of virtue
for Dharma is the soul’s compass
and without it, even grace demands a cost
Know this:
the riches & the fame
the applause & the beauty
they are only tools, not truth.
True living begins
not with what you hold
but with how you walk
in righteousness
in virtue
in peace with the self.
I am of I am, I am of I am
I'm the righteousness of God Selah
He loves me, I'm repented
Been given an abundant
Holy chance
Now I can dance
I now dance
a Hallelujah dance
Because my Daddy's God
And He's redeemed me such
I am I of I am
I am of I am
The righteousness of God
He ever so loves me much
Righteousness of God
I am... the I am

From “I CRY OUT TO YOU”
Hear counsel and heed
In the end you become wise
Your soul will have joy.
Wrench the pages from my worn hands as my voice shatters
Leave it aflame as the embers rise, my soul now scattered
Within the bounds of sanity, I try, try to claw and scrape
A restless spector of taunt as I endeavour to escape
Concealment shant queal it, it lingers, never away
Perpetual pulverization, lo, shall the ashes stay
I’ll lay my ash remnants at the poisoned tree
A coiling branch tilt napes, suffocating me
Embed my teeth unto the apple of feign
Was not I told for safe?--now it’s pain
They’ll mock me, an “enduring lost”
I’ll swear to those above at cost
How to not yearn does it feel?
My freedom now to be heel.
Money is all I need
It is the root of greed
Always need to be in the lead
The devil has planted his seed
Fancy Clothes
Sparkling in jewels
Stylist furniture and grand homes
Expensive cars to show their wealth
Charity is not their concern
Not sharing in their reserves
Business and the market are their religion
Some end up in prison
Heaven is not their concern
Don’t care if they burn
Go to universities to learn
Which way will they turn
Will they choose self-glory
Will they choose business over family
Will they choose honesty
Will they choose loyalty
Greed leads to lust and deceit
For money causes their family retreat
Blessed are those that stay at home
Enjoying their children as they grow
Greed leads to bad choices
Causes those to loss focus
It is all about what they can achieve
Leaving others in pieces as they leave
