Gray blade of moon, fall blaze of oak
Flame for diamonds, purifying smoke
Change of season, leaves flicker burnt
Lessons saught-- taught, cruelly learnt
Melted heart and flesh depart away
He trickles like dust of earthen clay
A touch, a clutch, so much to flow
The wind remains; I must let go
Worn, I mourn a form outdated
All that remains is cremated

On the eyes that you saught
And you must decide what do with that look
Will you look again or just look away

Remember your worth
Sanctified as his wine
God blessed us by divine
Jesus cleans us against all sins
God blessed us from within
Made stronger
Through our Heavenly Father
Never denied by God help
His truth has always been felt
Received from above
Delivered by his eternal love
Power of protection
Through Jesus resurrection
Saught the Son
For God and Jesus are one
Our Creator and Lord
We do Honor forward
Our Lord is meek
I am blessed to speak...
