Im Alive

Death where is your sting? 
I am alive and with that I bring, 
the power of God
 and through that I sing 
of His graceful offering,
the death of His Son. 
His only offspring.

Wounded Heart

With a wounded heart
I lay here and cry.

Some wrongs I've done
I won't deny

to be ripped apart
From your embrace
Brings pain that won't heal
Without leaving a trace.

Replenish

Replenish* my heart 
with unquenchable coals.
Make it burn so hot
So I'm unable to control
The fire burning from deep in my soul.

When it seems to die
I ask You to try
And replenish* my heart
With unquenchable coals.

Note*: the word replenish has a double meaning. "To fill" and to "refill."

Loneliness Knows Me By Name

A heart without a home
Can cause one much pain.
A mind on the troll
Can cause one much shame.

A life all alone
Feels like acid rain.

Loneliness knows me by name

Southern Cross, Orion's Belt, Scorpio

Many times I feel lost, 
a future without a purpose 
and an empty soul 
The truth of my life has conformed me 
to misery.

A sting in my heart, 
the poison seeping into my soul.

I am dying slowly, 
people glaring, 
eyes burning, 
opinions formed about me. 
My mind racing, 
thoughts screaming. 
Stop staring holes into my skull! 
Darkness flooding in. 
I feel cold and empty

Then came a sudden bright light. 
out of it came three images: 
The Southern cross, Orion's belt and Scorpio.

With it came a voice. 
I am the One that leads the way, 
like the Southern cross in the night sky.

I Am the Truth. 
Now look up and see Orion's belt. 
Put on My belt of truth 
and I will become your Truth 
and you will receive My Joy.

Again, look up and see Scorpio. 
I Am your Protector. 
rejoice in Me and feel safe. 
Like a scorpion attacks its prey, 
I will smite your enemies with My wrath.

I Am the Way and the Truth 
and in Me you now have life.

In My Days

In my days of sorrow, I look at my life.
It saddens me to see what I find.
I see weaknesses I didn't know I have, nor do I know where it came from.
I see oppression that keeps a boy from becoming a man.
I see childhood anger preventing me from living with peace in my heart.
I see abuse that breaks down my ability to have compassion.
I see a boy trying to stand up for himself, but keeps being kicked down, sand kicked in his face.
I see a boy lost, not knowing where to turn for help, left to fend for himself.

But

In my days of joy
I see where I draw my strength from, my strength comes from the Lord.
I see grace that surpasses all understanding. Grace that keeps me alive.
Grace that allows me to be me.
I see a man rising from the ashes, a man picking up his sword ready for battle.
A man preparing to take his place in this world, facing the enemy head-on.

In the end
I see a man that lived his life without regrets.
I see a man that came out victorious.
I see a man that learned from the past,
applied it in his present life and for that now have peace in his heart.

In conclusion
I saw a boy going through pain and suffering (physical and emotional).
I see a hardened man rising up, learning from the past and preparing for his future.
I see a man in the near future, fulfilled, at peace and living a godly life, serving Christ.
May I become like this man.

Memories

I remember the first day my eyes fell on you. 
Saying "your beautiful" -  before a "thank you" and I blushing smile -  you ran off and left me there with nothing else to do.

I remember the day we sat in a tree.
It was the first day we fell inlove, you and me.
We sat there for hours talking about life and its dramas, not knowing the things that's going to harm us.
 
I remember the night when our first kiss left me weak in the knees. 
But with a touch of your hand
you left me there stranded, 
not knowing how to handle it
you gave a sweet little giggle 
and blew out the candle light.

These memories haunt me every night of every day.  

I keep phoning, but you will not answer.
Everything you did to me, doesn't matter.
Only thing I want to have is you with me.
My heart is aching, can't you see?

Everytime I close my eyes, 
Everytime I fall asleep,
Everytime I dream of you
I miss you Rosalind

Everytime I hear your name
Everytime I see your face
Everytime I think of you
I realize that I don't want to live without you.

Hope

Lord I saw Your face last night 
when I looked at the sky. 
You were smiling.

You said: "it will be okay, I will make a way in your dark times"

And everytime I hear Your voice, 
Jesus, 
Everytime I feel Your touch, 
You make me know that I can face tomorrow, 
just one more time.

And all my friends have gone away,  
 loved ones went astray, 
yet You're still near me.

And even if the wind blows by, 
I feel warm inside, 
Because Your love comforts me in these testing times

this is for a man of God. A true leader and an inspiration to others

Fallen

With a crack of lightning we hear the calls:
Behold! The great Lucifer falls!

With vengeance in his heart and menace in his soul,
he seeks ways to take control
what God chose to be His own. 

With envy and pride he prowls around.
Bitterness and hatred towards man and his wife.  

"All is yours" God says to man,
But of this tree you will be banned.
For from it comes death to all of man.

In this lies Lucifer's plan. 
So subtle, so crafty he layed it out.
Mankind will fall without a doubt.

His deception so cunning,
his words dripping like honey.
The wife of man went down crumbling.
Then man himself felt defeat so humbling
that 8000 years later we are still mumbling
of a simple plan that turned the world into chaos and rumbling.

Warrior I Am

As He is God 
I am in His image, created 
As He is strong -
I am strong

As He is fierce 
I am fierce 
As He angers 
I anger

As He lead 
I follow 
As He command 
I do

As He is wild 
I am wild 
As He is adventurous 
I am adventurous

As He is free 
I am free

As He is the Father 
I am His son 
As He is God 
I am in His image, created

The Lord is a Warrior 
The Lord is His name. (Ex 15:3) 
I am a warrior 
Neil is my name.
