Take My Hand

Take My Hand



I lost you in the turns you went left and i went right 
 just to put this thing together so everything can change tonight
I'm don't want to argue, fuss or fight 
you can talk to me cause I'll understand 
even the part that you don't feel like a man
Open up and let me inside
 I'm here for you if you'll give me a try 
I will be the mold that makes your plan stand strong
i'll be the one by your side when you are old
I will be the one that will wipes away your tears
If you dear let them drop i will be there
and when you feel that you can't go on
and when you feel like you've taken your last pull
I will be the one encouraging you telling you that you are phenomenal
Let me help you find the King inside 
So you can rule as that mighty Man
I will help you if you just take my hand

You Are a King

Everything that you will ever need has already been planted in you!          

                                                         Man up!
                                        To what the Creator has called 
                                                       you to be
                                          Kingship is in your blood
                                                     It's time to reap
                      
                        Like a farmer to his plow making his grooves in the unbroken ground!
                                                          To hope
                                                     would be crazy 
                                                          To know 
                                                        is your life
                      
                       It's time to make things happen that only you were created to do
                                                      Stop passing 
                                                     the buck King! 
                                                    It's time to rule!

Forgiveness

FORGIVENESS


forgiveness doesn't start with the person it starts with you
to satify the anger i  have inside i fuel it with  thoughts that's consume me 
and are replayed in my mind everytime i think of you and what you did 
 and as the page turn in this endless story of betrayl and deceit 
that anger which is now hatred has tooken over me. 
the evil thoughts that run though my head i often wish 
was a reality. 
so much pain that fills the hurt you cause me. leads me just wanting you dead.
 forgiveness i heard it and wondered how 
forgiveness not when my world was turned upside down 
forgiveness for all that he had done why! 
forgive because his sins aren't the only one. Forgive our debts as we forgive or debtors. bless them that persecute you: bless, and curse not the good word says
 i remember how i wasn't always saved and how God had alot to work with to get me to this place. 
and how all my sins were washed away never again to see the light of day. 
and when he thinks of me it brings a smile to his face no respect or person they always say. 
so by which all was forgiven i must do the same 
so that i can be at peace and declare  the Lords Holy name
Through his love I have learn that I have to let it go 
and not hold on to things that will consume my soul
so that i can loose the chains that are trying to take hold of me Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good so release of your debts i will forgive
I forgive you!

Steal Me Away

Steal me away


Wind beneath my feet, blowing though my hair, whispering a song in my ear. Smells of sweet nothing everywhere, fresh breath of clean air

As waters crash upon the rocks on the shore
The waves of this life takes us on a journey 
As the ripples make their indentation in the sand
each line another path we must face

Wind beneath my feet, blowing though my hair, whispering a song in my ear. Smells of sweet nothing everywhere, fresh breath of clean air

As the buds spring when the timing is right 
The clouds play a game of "What am I" 
As the moon sits still in it's place 
My imagination is going wild
with the freedom of this place

Wind beneath my feet, blowing though my hair, whispering a song in my ear. Smells of sweet nothing everywhere, fresh breath of clean air

The last time I sat here with a friend we gazed at the water as though 
that moment in time would never end 
As we listen to the sound of the crickets scratching
and fish jumping, a boat skims across the sea
I could hear the wind yet talking to me 
I can't see you but I know your here 
stealing free touches with nothing to keep you clear

Wind beneath my feet, blowing though my hair, whispering a song in my ear. Smells of sweet nothing everywhere, fresh breath of clean air

Cover Me

cover me



the giver of peace comes and rescued me from all sin that taunts me daily
 from all the demons that try to control me 
from all the people who try to mold me. 
Cover me with your abounding grace and tender mercies
 that light this place to warn off all those evil thoughts
 that want me to love my neighbors (not!)
Cover me and keep me covered 
even when I don't act like I want you too
when i've seem to forgotten all you did and will do 
cover me Lord and hide me from myself
the biggest enemy i have yet 
cover me so that i can grow 
into what you predistine so many years ago

Empty Words

I've listened to a lot of shallow words in my life
 Words of empty meanings
 Words that just Past time 
Words that spark emotions 
And words that mean nothing at all
 I've listened to a lot of talk in my life 
Talks about future events
 Talks about things people want to do
 None of those talks added up
 None of those talks made a difference
 I've listened to a lot of flam in my life
 Flam about where people want to be
 Flam about what their expectations are 
Flam about what they expect of you 
And flame about how they love you
 Empty promises 
Forgotten dreams 
Morage of hope 
Like Water in the desert
 It doesn't last long

Mystery

your more of a mystery 
 when i don't know who you are.
 you took the fun out when you open your mouth.
 and even though i sat quite
 almost in ah at what was coming out 
 or the fact that i just spent my time listening to it
 .i find that your communication is pointless.
 and i want this moment in time
 that has me wanting to pull out my hair to end.
 BUT you keep talking! 
and me being who i am
 not wanting to shatter your ego
 so i ablege only on purpose.
 for the character that you are seems a little weak
 I must keep up my own appears so i do not speak 
yet wait for the moment to remove myself from this place. 
If i could go back in time this I would erase!

Who Is This

.		WHO IS THIS?


"Fill with so much anger and pain,
 wondering why things have to be this way."
"I thought i lived my life right,
 
 then why does everything keep happening to me?"
"I feel so alone and broken, what can get me out of this state?"
Then i heard a word say that everything will be okay.
" Who is this vioce that echos to me,
 from i don't know where and further more
 how can you promise me that?"
 "How could you dear!" 
"Who are you to tell me that this pain will stop!"
 "Who are you that you can heal my broken heart!" 
 "Further more, who are you to say cast my cares away?"
 "Who is this voice that i can't see yet hear?" 
" I AM THAT I AM! Your creator you see. "
"There's nothing in this life that can get pass me."
"I am the author of your story so i know things will be fine" 
"Sit back and relax i got the wheel this time."
 "Call me Jehovah-Jireh for my provision shall be seen "
 "Jehovah-Rophe cause i will heal indeed "
 "Jehovah-Shalom because i am peace "
 "Jehovah-Shammah no matter how it looks i am always there."
 "My child you can call me many things just know that i care, 
about your hurts and your pain about the tears you shed in shame
 when your down and out and feel you can't go on
 Yeild your heart to me my love will keep you strong."
 "I am Jehovah-Rohi your shepherd i'd never lead you astray
 just trust in me and i'll continue by your side each and everyday."

Buyer's Market

I am an investment so pick your stock wisely
I am a high commodity so this could get pricey
Each share that I hold has it's own value
Whether the market is up or down I keep my statue
My assets are great in numbers and deeds
The price to earning ratio is at it's peek
My bonds are valued more than gold
My APR is at it's all time low
THIS currency was made to flow
My trading pool sets the tone
For what is new and what must go
The direction I seek must be plain
401K and IRA is not my nest egg
God is my financial advisor, portfolio manager broker
Whatever you want to call him he will be
It took a lot of work and molding to get me
Just know that I am a token; his prize
He has taken a true liken to me
So when you step be on your game
He has all claims to my fame
My rights have been bought 
So don't be surprised
Cause he is very protective of whats inside

Let Me Be

So I sit back and watch quietly as the roles are Played in 
my face. Do I speak I dear not for it will all come back on 
me. Shut up in a tower destine to get out. Cries of 
loneliness  but no one hears my shouts. Understanding in 
a desert place no where to escape from all that I 
fear.blank faces starting at me who to comfort. Backed in 
a corner no way to get out. I felt like an ant trust is the key 
still looking for the spear. Silent tears that fall almost 
everywhere. Happy times i've seen those days still waiting 
for the re-runs to play. A life time journey with only so 
few words. Fallen dreams of what could have been. No 
more past of what use to be. Moving on to u the future 
that God has plan for me. Stop looking at what is going . 
But what I know will be. Favor isn't fare so they will just 
have to envy me!
