I'm just humanity
 and there's no good in me
 I am a casualty 
horribly I flee don't be concerned 
for the goodness you think you may have
For the only good in me
The only good in me
The only good in me
Father God my Jesus
He's leads me, He leads us
Humanity just I am

The path of love that I am on 
Is neither envious nor boasts
Not resentful or irritable 
With patience and kindness as stepping stones 

Does not rejoice in all that's wrong
But only in the truth
Does not insist in its own way
Neither arrogant nor rude

Bares all things, this path of love
Hopes, believes, endures
A never ending journey 
This journey into love



1 Corinthians  13: 4-7...

Dropping into my subconscious
in murky depths you calmly reside
leaving a bruise on my neck I taste you 
as my blood rises to your lips 
I scream and start to suffocate 
your hands grip mine in shackles 
carnivorous eyes and I see black
a prey animal now your possession 
thrashing only leaves violent marks 
under the covers I confess my post
I'm only free with your imprisonment
I want you to go down on me...

I who belongs to Christ 
Now I have become a new person.
I've been received, redeem repented forgiven
My old life is gone,
A new life has begun!
This too can be you
This means that anyone
Can stop turn around and follow the Son
So anyone who belongs to Christ
Has become a new person. 
The old life is gone;
A new life has begun!

A.K.A. Love

faith, hope, charity
which one of these
seeks not vanity
does not behave irrationally
will not intentionally hurt another
endures pain
gives, gives and gives because of its kindness
a bottomless well of patience
acceptance and courage
will die for another?
charity
a.k.a. love

Smile, Jesus Loves You
Written: by Tom Wright
11/5/2016

This morning I awoke with a pasted smile
Thanking the Lord for another grand day
Even though today may bring a new trial
I’ve trust in Him that He’ll make a way

For Jesus knows what each one can bear
And won’t allow more than we’re able
He’ll make a way from temptations snare
So long as He sits at the head of our table
