Breaking Benjamin - Far Away

Just as the elements within our lives are inevitable to intercede
There are also uncontrolled forces that have to circle the world
Pride, envy, gluttony, lust, sloth, wrath, and greed
These 7 deadly sins are sold more than the blooded diamonds and pearls

With prayer and faith I stand next to my mother. 
And with undoubted submission I'd give anything for my sister.
I'll forever go to war for and with my brother. 
But ever since Cain killed Abel, family's have killed, and killers get richer. 

Lord when you gather your souls back please grant us your mercy
Grab our hearts with the inner core of your palms.
We drink from a cup but Revelations still leaves us thirsty.
Deliver me like the light you spoke of in the beautiful book of Psalms. 

Wash the pain, suffering, and betrayal from our flesh. 
Let your light dry away the history of grieving within tears.
Invite me to throw away my sins as I ask with all my chest.
And forgive man as I will forgive myself when your flood crosses near.

Purple Rain

I can be a headache. A match lit at 1,000 degrees. 
I'm sorry I never meant you any harm. 
Even if I inflicted pain and made you bleed. 
Allow me to minister the band-aid to your arm.

I believed in you to perform all of your glories
We all as people have dreams within
It sucks that this world also revolves around worries
Can the riches of life in people's smile begin with no end?

I believe in you and me. 
Even when I say I don't. 
I believe a king can be a king. 
But I can't only believe if you won't.

We have wisdom, we have heart, and values that shower pearls
We have chances after chances that we don't take in this world. 
We trust, we have betrayal, we have misery, love, and pain.
We have rain the can drop to see that everyone in their own way could reign.

The Treasure

To live in abundance and magnify your fortune you must DIVINELY work for it. The far measures of where man will go for an instant magnitude relentlessly disqualifies the thoughts of having abundant control over their own hearts with love and forgiveness. And in addition, the practice of satisfying skin compared to a clean heart, mind, and sinew is thoughtfully illogical. So in result, men must find true value worth more than gold. The treasure that rings so loud but a number undoubtedly and purposefully ignore. For the true measures of the world is written in the best history book known to mankind. The book that shares how to live. The book that shares how to obtain in a righteous way. The book that speaks of the dead and the only ONE to have walked the earth, and as well risen. Therefore, in an always profound and crucial manner it is the responsibility of this world to read, study, practice, pray, and liberate our hearts to The Truth and only Way of Light as we breathe his presented gift of life.

In Stars Above

So far away but my heart you shine through.
Stronger, swifter, and wiser, I am better just because of you. 
As the past reigned with the man kings your glow reign in me too.
I'm passionate to be directed by my compass, water, and shoes.

Your nose loud as tunes i can only offer a fife.
From a distance your warmth can rid my soul of evil, damage, and strife.
Like a specific smelling glow you hit the nose like a stife.
The boldest gift to us was Jesus. Son of Man. Son of Life!

Believe in this star because this star still insist. 
It places it's place for you to contribute so don't miss.
Grab hold like a latch in the palms of your fist.
Make a way for the King. The one from Nazareth.

A Single White Rose

Troubles in life, they stab like a knife, piercing a by-standing soul. 

The anger and wrath that’s set on your path gives darkness, and within you behold. 

Tears through fear when you’ve lost and your gear hasn’t changed, be meek and be whole.

The fire within that won’t shake, flee, or bend is a start of a spiritual soul.

Fire to forge or destroy in your life. You choose your path and your home.

When evil is present you walk in the desert. No love? Then you move alone.

If you see what you see then why don’t you dig deep? Encourage your spirit to glow.

If your flesh is troubled then your spirit is growing for elevation after the triumph is old.

Make matters meet more miracles. Mending must mutate major molds.

If you go through the fire you will come out refined. Pure in spirit like a single white rose.

Light

When God said let their be light... it was done
No big bang can move light
Fast as it can speed through sight
Had to be demanded right!

Heaven is Real

They followed him. 
They obeyed and fulfilled his commands.
They ate and drank with him. 
Then they all went their separate ways
From the one True and Living God
Having a future of being torched.
Having a future of being crucified.
Having a future of being spit on.
Having a future of being skinned alive.
And more of the terrible reasons to die.
The disciples risked their lives
To spread Gospel across the world and teach
The only religion to Four-Corner the Earth
Teaching all nations and baptizing them
WHY DID THEY RISK IT?
Because they had SEEN the truth
They'd witnessed the living God
They'd witnessed the miracles
They'd witnessed the return of the King
No Man Will Go That Far for False Lies
Jesus is Real
God is Real
Heaven is Real

What Matters?

To suffer in the flesh, is to evolve in spirit.
Patience, love, or wisdom. A major pivot. 
Life is about what you seek beyond sight.
When you fight for belief to be led by what’s right.
What matters most should gain your best.
What matters less should be slain to rest.

Tribute to Who Introduced Grace

Tribute to Who Introduced Grace sponsored by Constance La France
A sudden relief it is to see what you have written in words. Where the prosperity and victory of new mornings awaken with the birds.
The waters either calm or rough yet they work in our favor. You told us about good deeds and the one in control and how He blesses our neighbors.
You explained that we could be rescued and favored by what’s best. You talked about being fearsome as a lion or magnified as the wings on an eagles stretch. 
How much honor and dignity still remain in your poems. Now that you are not here your words still guide the Throne auditorium. 
One of the greatest poets I have known has helped me for what lies ahead and more. A shepherd boy that became king in the Lion of Judah’s roar.

Friend Revealed in Me

What would I do, if truth and good had no prosperity? How could I live without peace? What a horrible enemy.
I’ve destroyed this world so many times that what is sewn still reaps. So I chose a different path. To do better, in me. 
Can I persevere if I don’t use the words I have for energy? How can I bless you all so well your hearts remember Thee?
How can my words and thoughts bring forth a Light we have in Thee. How can you meet my Friend? Is He revealed in me?
A friend for tears of joy and abundance endowed & pressed in me.
A friend for tears of sadness, & my burdened energy.
A friend for tears of tribulations in and near of me. A friend to attend the tears of loved ones and ones that’s kin to me.
A stronger fight for holy some people care less for sympathy. A hero brings the peace, patience, hugs, and good remedy.
A hero brings the prayers & through Christ’s name it’ll be. A hero walks the life of That friend. Thee friend revealed in me.
