Love Without Words

Could words describe love,

                          I can't seem to find them.

feelings so strong,

                          is what I have for him.

No words could describe it,

                          or make my point clear,

God said it best,

                          love perfected, cast out fear.

without words I have actions,

                          so those I give to you,

loving you more than me,

                          is all that I can do.

For surely this is love,

                          and this is how you show,

for if words can't describe it,

                          how else will he know.

Be Still

never ending words,
empty meaning,
never shut my mouth,
while my soul is screaming.
blah, blah, blah,
I go on and on,
why don't I shut up,
this is just wrong.
for words reflect the heart,
and all of it's desire's.
yes there's evil lurking there,
and it never tires.
as I go on talking, 
it prays I'll never stop.
for silence reveals the soul,
and condemns my very thought.

This One Got Away From Me

When you look, you will see,
what, I want you to.
And when you decide, to judge Me,
Hurting yourself, is what you’ll do.

For in judging, you shall be judged;
Or don’t you know, My commandment.
I told you to love, then you be-grudged 
And oh, how I can’t stand it

Love on another, for you are all Mine.
 I have made no mistakes.
 Open your hearts and let My love shine
For this is truly all it takes.

Flesh

Here I sit Lord, surrounded by more than I have asked for.
Could it be that this is not enough, could my flesh want more?

For one minute I feel so blessed, the next I hate it all.
I go from looking at your face, to looking at the wall.

Tossed around, to and fro, from every little thing,
and if I think of it, or have the time, then to you I sing.

How is it Lord, I disgust myself, yet continue on this way,
loosing sight and ignoring you, every other day.

Why is it so hard to find the time for all that really matters,
knowing, loosing sight of you is when my world shatters.

Away from your word, it only takes a single day
For me to forget your love and somehow loose my way.

Please take my hand  Lord, for I am but a child
Help me tame my flesh, for it is much to wild.

AMEN

Another Day

Sun goes down,
                          another day,
out of my mind,
                         there is no way.
beautiful face,
                          a different guy.
keep my heart,
                         You know why.
Winter comes,
                         two years ago,
foolish girl,
                          won't let go
he doesn't care,
                         get over it,
Lock it up,
                        all this s**t.
