He knows the sum of all your days,
the secret of your hidden ways.
Your thoughts, the meaning of each look,
are in his eyes an open book.
The course in life that you would take,
and foolish mistakes you would make,
His eyes discern though yours are blind,
With vision vast He reads your mind.
He both precedes and follows you
and wants to prosper all you do.
If you would get to know His name,
He’ll help you live life without shame.
Don’t let His knowledge frighten you.
Ask Him to guide in all you do.
You can’t escape His searching eyes,
So, seek His help to make you wise.
When you were in your mother’s womb,
His plan was that your life would bloom,
diffusing blessings to mankind
as you engage your awesome mind.
Run not from Him, you cannot hide.
Ask Him instead your life to guide,
Fulfilling what He had in mind,
when He created humankind.
You can run through the fire
A showman in flames
With soles of steel
Over rakes
Of hot coals,
Your audience gaping
In love
Of forward force.
You can glide through the wave
An acrobatic swell
With agile tongue
And glittering hands
Your audience wowed
In awe
Of slick style.
You can scale through the peaks
A glorious climb
With grappling pride
And summit flags
Your audience wooed
In awe
Of conquered land.
You can do all these things.
The hands that laid the coals
The hands that shaped the board
And
The hands that laid the path—
They Hold You.
They Expose You-
In quiet strength.
For without
These
Humble hands-
You would achieve
Nothing.
Go away get out of here
Your about to live in fear
Run as far as you can go
My fury's about to show
Your actions led me to this
There's not gonna be forgiveness
You don't punch and you don't hit
In a raging angry fit
She was always sweet and kind
Now she's waking up to find
Nightmares that are coming true
You don't even have a clue
How protective I can be
Of my friends and family
I'm so ready to begin
My manhunt, you can not win
You Can Run,
But,
You Can't Hide

Neath the brackish waters of life's tossing sea,
where daily perils lurk, and seaweed's bind.
My soul shan't worry, for God is cognizant of me,
also ponderous thoughts, taking rest upon my mind.
Even should my home be some mountainous peak,
or bedroll spread, neath stars, in foothills low.
God's countenance in prayer I can always seek,
for He is nigh, where ere I should dare to go.
Psalm 139 1-14
Running on top of water?
Sure, I can.
No, you cannot!
Watch me.
I’ll be Dwammed!
The green basilisk puts out her hand for the five dollars.
Which is just heavy enough to drown her.
The chimpanzee smiles as his five dollars rises to the top.
Third time today.
As fast as you can
Run away from great danger;
Time is really running out,
The devil roams, roaring his anger.
Hurry up! Don't hesitate,
Never ever slowing down;
You must step on the gas,
Fleeing from the enemy's frown.
He is always ready to attack
And make you an easy prey;
You must always be on guard,
Fall on your knees and pray.
Follow the will of the Lord,
Never have a heart of stone;
Obey Him wherever you are
Even if you are all alone.
You can fly high to the moon,
You can dive deep into the sea;
But the Almighty is all over,
Nothing but all He can see.
By the power of His hand
The world He can break and divide;
Anytime and anywhere
You can run but you can't hide.
its sad you do bad
and you get mad
you have been had
tho the world is wide
moves side by side
do wrong youcan't go on
these are no lies
YOU CAN RUN
BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE
its sad you do bad
and you get mad
you have been had
tho the world is wide
moves side by side
do wrong youcan't go on
these are no lies
YOU CAN RUN
BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE
Another day and I've sinned again.
Can't I go a day without SIN?
I should lock myself inside
a room all day. But wait;
I can still sin with
lust, anger, hate
and worries
on my
MIND.
Pace, G
