Twirl the World

Back in the mind of times
 See it for what I find
 Twirl the world 
 While it spins I can twirl the world
 I'm bringing back the old days
 Seeing these brutal type ways
 Twirl the world
 While it spins I can twirl the world

 I can see my future 
 Standing alive
 Walking amongst deadly ways
 And yet I still thrive
 My message is very clear
 From beginning to end
 Enemies and foes amongst me
 Yet who is my friend
 God told me not to worry
 In time I will tell
 All that you need to know
 To do things well
 The key is very simple
 Nothing in life comes for free
 Determination is what I find
 In this mystery
 I have got my head in the clouds
 So time will not pass me by
 Wondering what I need
 But if I would only try
 Where I am going from here
 Nobody really knows
 I guess I will try to keep it simple
 In my next tomorrow

  Back in the mind of times
 See it for what I find
 Twirl the world 
 While it spins I can twirl the world
 I am bringing back the old days
 Seeing these brutal type ways
 Twirl the world
 While it spins I can twirl the world
 
 I am standing in the midst of a sea clear, bright, and blue
 I am looking for somebody
 But I do not know who
 I need answers to solve daily problems
 So I go to the man
 Who keeps the world revolving
 If I am in Him
 And He is in me
 A crucial door just opened
 So now I can see
 I am on the outside and still looking in
 Praying for answers daily in this battle I win
 The war will be over soon
 But I will still enjoy time of peace
 Knowing it starts within me
 To keep my mind at ease
 So go on and put the globe down
 On my finger let it spin
 And that is the very message 
 That I have to send
 So that everyone will know
 Who is in control
 As the story unfolds
 In the hand God holds

  Back in the mind of times
 See it for what I find
 Twirl the world
 While it spins I can twirl the world
 I am bringing back the old days
 Seeing these brutal type ways
 Twirl the world 
 While it spins I can twirl the world
 I can twirl the world
 While it spins I can twirl the world

My Whole Purpose

If I knew my whole purpose in this life
 I wouldn't be here trying to get it right
 So I'll leave nothing behind
 And live life out of sight
 Attributing to the fact
 That my future looks bright
 
 Look, son,
 Now tell me what you see
 And it will appear
 When you are ready
 "Young grasshopper" I read the old news
 From way back in the day
 The foundation I use
 Life is just a choice with a means to an end
 It seems to me this is important
 But can you tell me when
 Everything will go the way it should
 If you know that answer
 You've done more than I could
 So what now
 Do we do for the confused?
 Tell them it's simple
 It's the tools that you use
 To get ahead in life and stay out of the gutter
 Now I know life can seem hopeless like you can't relate to another
 Individual, at least that's the way it would seem
 But life isn't hopeless
 You've just got to choose the right team
 People matter more than you know
 Think about that for a minute and your answer will be given so

  If I knew my whole purpose in this life
 I wouldn't be here trying to get it right
 So I'll leave nothing behind
 And live life out of sight
 Attributing to the fact
 That my future looks bright
 
 Now this is for me
 If that is what you see
 I'm looking for something
 Is that consistency?
 Keeping myself steady and breaking no rules
 Laws are made for men and law breaking is for fools
 So son, I fly right and give it all to God
 In Him I can never go wrong
 So I keep my faith in God
 Now that leads me to my ultimate struggle
 My nature seems good
 But it gets me in trouble
 So I know nothing
 But what I need to know
 At the proper time even God will say so
 That I will or would
 If I knew how
 To search for my blessing and my blessing is now
 The fact that I'm alive and calm in my nature
 That's the peace I need surrounded by nature
 Now I may be blind
 But my faith is strong
 I see nothing but riches
 And that keeps me strong

  If I knew my whole purpose in this life
 I wouldn't be here trying to get it right
 So I'll leave nothing behind
 And live life out of sight
 Attributing to the fact
 That my future looks bright

The Mastermind

So many words cannot explain it
 And line by line I will frame it
 Who is the mastermind
 Look hard and you will find Him in this rhyme
 Look hard and you will find Him at the right time
 The mastermind
 
 I look forward to progress
 With no set backs
 Many give and take relationships
 With no get backs
 As I walk down the hard road
 As simple as I know how
 Hardships and sorrows I find
 When I try to milk the cow
 Unavoidable as it may seem
 Of a way known better
 Looking for a way to wealth
 Choosing to be greater rather than lesser
 I have been seeing so much
 In a short amount of time
 Resorting to my knees
 To master my mind
 I choose spiritual over mental
 And physical over emotional
 As the waters rage in my life
 I choose to be voicing but to who
 The people and even me do not understand what we do not see
 Will not see or realize a lesson taken from He
 My determination is getting better as time goes on
 I see it is not me but He that is making me strong

  So many words cannot explain it
 And line by line I will frame it
 Who is the mastermind
 Look hard and you will find Him in this rhyme
 Look hard and you will find Him at the right time
 The mastermind
 
 "Who can do it but me"
 In a phrase said by He
 I am in the palm of His hand
 Till I get my victory
 He moves the stars 
 So I can live
 Which makes me wonder
 Why be negative if He is positive
 He is on my side forever
 And I am on His
 Standing up for His cause daily
 In the palm of His fist
 Now about His son Jesus
 And the Holy Ghost
 From east coast to west coast
 The Trinity is of what I should boast
 So what else will I learn
 As I give myself freely
 Lifting my hands high to the sky
 To the God that freed me
 All three make One for an unbeatable team
 So only I can stop me, or at least that is the way it would seem
 So what will I learn next.  Only time will tell
 What masters my mind, is choosing Heaven over Hell

  So many words cannot explain it 
 And line by line I will frame it
 Who is the mastermind
 Look hard and you will find Him in this rhyme
 Look hard and you will find Him at the right time
 The mastermind.
 I am just a little part of the mastermind.

My One and Only

I know my fate, Give it to My One And Only
 Reaching to the top to the bottom for My One And Only
 Who is My One And Only? 
 God, So everyday give it to My One And Only
 
 Now I know of many that are lacking and poor in heart
 But the words of Jesus are unending, Reaching to what's in the dark
 Now judge this and tell me what's better
 To know what's better, But settling for lesser
 Now I need help, So I call the Lord daily
 Like a blind man looking for riches, But I believe I'll find it daily
 Now that's my life, So you live yours
 And wonder how an eagle soars
 That's crazy isn't it, But I can tell you more
 Maximum use for sufficiency helps me to learn more
 About myself, Cause that's where it starts
 I'm in the big grocery store with a great many carts
 Let me lay it on the line, Stay away from false
 Cause no one that is false would ever want to pay the cost
 Since I have sinned, God I know I will die 
 But my hope is that the world will see heaven riding high
 
 I know my fate, Give it to My One And Only
 Reaching to the top to the bottom for My One And Only
 Who is My One And Only?
 God, So everyday I give it to My One And Only
 
 I have seen the light in a dark and cold world
 This is not dress rehearsal, So I can twirl the world
 My mind is not of what I should boast
 It's my spirit, Of which God mends the most
 So mold me to be the best I can
 Maybe even better than best to be the best man
 So am I in control or the one that sent me
 Only focus on positive for the message I'm sending
 Now if you can break chains Jesus will be your friend
 And you can aim for higher goals until this is the end
 Pour out love in its purest form
 It's the greatest thing I've seen aside from the norm 
 Now I must finish The "American Dream" worthwhile
 At the same time, Time stops for a while
 To see everything and why god made me
 To live the good life before the day I D.I.E.
 
 I know my fate, Give it to My One And Only
 Reaching to the top to the bottom for My One And Only
 Who is My One And Only?
 God, so everyday I give to My One And Only.

Believe What You Will

Witness this
 But don't miss my heart
 Living in love
 Until I make that spark
 In the blink of an eye
 Great is what you go for to feel
 I know what I believe
 But you can believe what you will
 
 Onward to the presence in the midst
 I'm looking for the Truth and I know that it exists
 God's throne room is the place he made
 To pray before the Lord for the debt that we made
 Now I can be cleansed from leprosy or disease
 And I know God is in control
 So my mind is at ease
 I could take the wrong road
 But then I'd have to start over
 Forget about the wrong road
 I don't want to start over
 But every beginning has a means to an end
 God does everything for a reason
 And that will never end
 So I know where I stand
 Let His words represent my life
 I've got to give my all
 And make sure I get it right
 Now, it is never difficult
 As I make it out to be
 God told me to praise, glorify,
 And honor Him within me.
 
 Witness this
 But don't miss my heart
 Living in love
 Until I make that spark
 In the blink of an eye
 Great is what you go for to feel
 I know what I believe
 But you can believe what you will
 
 Now this is what it's all about
 And I can tell you this without a doubt
 Like a blind man stumbling on a reward
 So I see what I see to lead me toward
 What I'm here for and exactly where I'm going
 Escaping the chaos of not knowing
 Common sense tells me that fire burns
 But God tells me that's no longer my concern
 Now, I've been many places
 And yet I've learned
 That I can walk on the sun
 And not get burned
 That's just faith
 From being humble
 To God, Who's in charge
 So my faith will not crumble
 You can do it too
 Follow what you believe
 At the worst of times
 God knows what you need
 
 Witness this
 But don't miss my heart
 Living in love
 Until I make that spark
 In the blink of an eye
 Great is what you go for to feel
 I know what I believe
 But you can believe what you will
