Where sky meets sea,
This world's bonds encompass we.

Long before title,
long before name

A wish was granted,
to begin again

Legacy ransomed,
escape from the night

A voice breaking through
—into the light

A wish was granted,
—to begin again

A legacy ransomed,
  escape from the night

A voice breaking through,
—calling into the light

I walked down a road called love,
why didn't they warn you my soul,
that the road is full of booby traps.
With all manner of untold perils..
you my soul would be captured
never to be ransomed again Eva..

My life was found in pain 
I was ransomed for a pen

Never will I permit my soul to ache 
I won't construct  the same mistake
 
I was throbbing everyday
My grief was unheard anyway

Now I will stand compacted 
My aplomb will be contracted...

Heaven…

…magnificently glorious

…awaiting ransomed believers…

bought by Saviour’s precious blood*

Forever!

Draw a stick figure 
future - diminished
and virus ransomed.

Paint the landscape
with the sweltering glare
of global warming.

Come share this
with me - let kisses heal and
soft whispers inflame.

Some locks need two keys
to open, some heavens can
be reached by mortals....

my life found in pain ransomed for a pen but never eager in pain.
Always grateful when in pain,
never will I pain.
Because I am grateful for my stance.
Am going where I know but I know not  where I go for my life won't be in chance pummeled in my face but that was only because of chance....

I've been set free
My God my savior has ransomed me
And like a flood
Mercy breaks
Unending love

It touches my heart!

I did not write this!!...

A Prince of Life,
A Prince of Death,
two courts for him to flee

One horse disappears under a
ransomed moon,
a drawbridge now unseen

Eyes close tight
and turn within,
all royalty disowned

As the King calls once
and the Queen calls twice
—the Jester on the throne

I feel you, as in some place mate's fare
that falling waters penetrating share,
fall purposely as from thy kinship's care
a motherland, a father, and a bear.

Breaks even to my heart at eventide
and all about me art could not collide
from promises, faith's ransomed soul's abide
still knowing you are comfort to my side!...

   Shouting and screaming
     about events far away
   Protestors shut down
     the Golden Gate Highway

   An important trial had to be canceled
     business-as-usual victimized, ransomed
   to the vain yells of the progressive nation
     which won't affect one iota
                                  Hamas' devastation

Dishearten was I in foreign land
Unjust Kings enslaved me
Until His Unfailing Nail Pierced Hands
From enslavement saved me
Now strongly praised beyond compare
Rock of my Salvation
Build in me a house to dwell
With unyielding dedication
Hear my new song
The Joyful shall sing
 This Ransomed Nation Thankful for His
Sacrifice, Amazing Reconciliation...

It was many years ago,
   while looking for lasting love,
initially I came to know
a woman with radiant glow
   that ignited the stars above.

Right from the very start
   I knew it was forever.
She ransomed my lonely heart,
and never we’d be apart;
   it was love’s life endeavor.

Be glad in the Lord*
...as redeemed eternally
ransomed, heaven-bound.

Rejoice now in Christ
…as His called faithful steward
worshiping gladly.

Serve along God’s joy
…as Gospel of peace bearer
midst sincere love’s peace.

*Psalm 32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

I am ransomed!
             As I kneel at his feet
                               Broken and weary, he lifts me up 
                                              Clean, unblemished before the Father, I stand
                                              Once, a lost and wandering sheep, but, no more!
                                                                                    ~*~...

My diamonds are the tears of Christ
    shed on Calvary.
My rubies are the drops of blood
    that ransomed you and me.
My riches are'nt in worldly things,
    I don't need them now, you see,
I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams,
    Christ lives and I am free.
My soul is saved because of Him,
    for Heavenly things I strive.
I've no need for silver and gold,
    my names in the Lambs Book of Life!...

The sand men don't sleep at night.
They've ransomed you're dreams.
Put them up on a wall that all can see except you,
You they use as a mirror for everyone else.
Though this isn't about your magnanimity.
This is about the angels that support your wake.
This is about an unknown clearance:
The emotional skyline.
A gesture towards you from someone's father
("go, get 'em!" he seems to say)
As the Earth continues to rotate....

Reaches me from heaven
Restoration sublime
Rescued now by God’s love
Ransomed blest soul of mine
Reverberates with praise
Revived and triumphant
Ready to serve the Lord.

Psalms 107:2 - Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.

Ransomed from sin’s debt, I’m freed
Paid by Saviour’s blood indeed
Willing to be spent with grace
My precious life gives Him praise.

Striving to live thru faith’s creed
Propelled by God’s mighty deed
I abound* in good works’ ways
Optimizing wondrous days.

*1Corinthians 15:58 …Be ye…, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Restoration of soul
ransomed by love’s mercy*
repents from guilt angst, now
ready to worship while
refreshed spirit so blest
reaching out to others
radiates God's peace-bliss.

*Habakkuk 3:2 …O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
