Waiting On a Miracle

i'm waiting
eyes closed
palms out 
waiting
for something
for what
im not sure
but God just told me to wait
so im still waithing
i pray it comes soon
for the lords child also gets weary
i feel strengthless
helpless 
hopeless
and i pray it comes soon
im waiting for a miracle
maybe i just need to be patient
or better yet
when i think about it
maybe thats what im waiting on
maybe thats my miracle
and he's been giving it to me every minute i wait

Blood Rain

run, run and take cover
protect yourself from the red
run, run before your children discover
the burden that hangs over their head
no umberella can provde a dry spot to hide from 
war, anguish, poverty, and pain
leaving your children the ones to decide
who should go and face the blood rain
who is accountable to take the reigns
as it rains down and drowns the streets 
as hail comes up from hell and engulfs
the gulf in a firey flame
what shame, yes shame, so who's to blame
is it the black White house, the woman or is it McCain
who's to blame, who faces the shame
who do we scold for bringing 
the blood rain

Iraq

how dare you send him
send him to die for YOU?
do you even know his name
his age his race do you HUH
if his name is read off of some paper
for some tribute to the dead soldiers
you gonna have a bullet with your name on it
how dare you not listen to the rhymes that
drop like bombs in vietnam
i fear with him
its gonna be just like armagedon
SHALL I GO ON?
i cry out among the young 
and we cry out to jesus
family in iraq and you all
dont seem to see us
BRING MY BROTHER HOME

Love Part I

love has a tendacy to be cruel without cruel intentions
love takes without giving
and hurts without healing
but even though love does all this
love makes life worth living
love have a tendacy to corrupt
love blinds you and keeps you sightless
destroys you beats you and leaves you flightless
but even though love does all this
love makes life worth living
love has a tendacy to enslave
lov captures you and puts you in a grave
from love yourself you can never save
but even though love does all this
love makes life worth living
love has a tendacy to fool
love says its kind and not boastful
but it is patient.....it waits to suck you in
love is a mocking prince it taunts the broken hearted
but even though love does all this
love makes life worth living

Do the Math

1 man
1 cross
1 time to save the lost

1 cross 
3 nails
4-given of anything that ails

3 parts of a whole
7 things made it complete
6 words
Father Why Have You Forsaken Me

12 men
1 cheats
and brings his life to an end
11 men
1 decieves by denying him

1 man
2 hands
heart heavy and a body so still
2 men
4 hands 
placed the cross on the hill

8 words over his dome
and spikes all in his hair
2 eyes lookin down
he knew his life wasnt fair

3 nails through his veins
blood showing itself
1 soldier laughed
if God and angels are real then tell them to help

1 tear 
from 1 eye
his head looked up to 1 sky
with 1 blade
1 made
it possible to live and not die

2 men 
on each side
1 good 
humbles himself  inside
1 bad 
mocked with shame
at 1 mans soul
1 man on the cross
for 1 ultimate goal

1 head droped to 
1 chest and gave up
1 life
to 1 day come back
and take 1 church as a wife

Phanomenal

you are mad
you are obligated to lean upon the lord for your strength
your masculant way of worship whispers greatness into her ears
phanoMENal...key word fellas
MEN
keep your feet planted by the streams of the lords waters
and watch yourself as you grow
you are blessed to be a blessing
 dont let your downfall be....
her lips , her eyes, her hips and thighs
do you unerstand that the body dies
but the soul lives on
do you understand the lord has your life in his hands
be brave my men dont decieve the gullible
do not play the weak hearted
teach the young ones
bring them up in the way that they should go
oh my boy you should know
right when you are about to fall 
i pray that you remember you are
PHANOMENAL
