Trust Me

Life is word
Love is word
Use it wise, gentle
Not as sword

But as smile
As a flower
You're low
I take you higher

Life is word
Love is speech
Out to you 
I will reach

Trust me

Confirmations of the 8 Beatitudes of Jesus

I'm humble
mine is the kingdom of heaven
I'm mourning 
I'll be comforted

I'm meek 
the earth is my heritage
I'm hungry & thirsty for righteousness 
I will be satisfied

I'm merciful 
I'll obtain mercy
I'm pure of heart
I'm seeing God

I'm a peacemaker 
I'm called son of God
I'm persecuted for the sake of righteousness 
Mine is the kingdom of heaven

Sweet As Chocolate

It is not about your age
Or your sign 
How you make me to feel fine
My sweet dear lovely beautiful

Sunshine 
It's not about your body
Or if guitar is your hobby 
If you're waiting at the lobby

Or if we drink 
and we get groggy 
It's not about your life 
If I'm the husband

You're the wife
Be together 
Snap high five
If we dance

And if we jive 
We survive 
And we revive 
We renew and we replace

Look each other at the face
We restore and we arouse
Live together in one house 
We brush up

And we rekindle
We're together 
And not single 
We live up

And re awake
Life is sweet 
A piece of cake 
We enliven

Animate
It's your heart 
Which is my fate 
Hope I'm early 

And not late
You're sweet 
As chocolate

I'M Free

I'm misunderstood 
In my own family 
I'm iron, they think I'm wood
If they knew - what I only could

Or what I carry 
Actually more 
then necessary 
I'm misunderstood

In my own family 
I'm diamond 
They think I'm coal
I'm the goalkeeper

who prevents all goals
Firm and tight 
I hold all balls - Humble and courageous 
is my fight

And besides 
I take life light 
I take life easy
I'm beautiful

I'm not sleazy 
Neither dizzy 
I'm misunderstood 
In my own family

But I don't care ????? 
As I'm happy ?? 
Life shines to me
All my future is ahead

All my love ?? 
I will spread
I have to drink
And I'm well fed

I'm healthy 
and also wealthy - in and out
I'm willing 
and besides

Love's always winning 
So I don't give up
Keep my head and attitude 
always up - I will climb

to the top 
And one day 
they will see me
And they will understand

That I don't need them 
so I can stand
That they need me
As I'm humble

I'm free

Everything In Life

We want everything in life
A perfect husband, kids, a perfect wife 
We want everything in life
A perfect mother and father

A perfect sister and brother 
Perfect friends, a perfect school
Job and education 
We want everything in life

To be happy, healthy, wealthy 
And be loved from all 
We want everything in life
But what is everything

Do we ever wonder, or ask ourselves 
Is there are a possibility that through our focus
We loose our flexibility or call it our agility,
and with that ourselves?

We want everything in life
And if something scary happens 
It marks us, we become fearful and anxious 
Stressed and distressed

Depressed, dissatisfied and disappointed 
It's because we want everything in life
And we haven't realized that we
are the everything we're looking for

and life consists out of giving , and not of receiving -so instead of wanting everything in life, if you want to be happy and steady 
Live the present abundantly by giving all your love

Start to be the everything for others, kids
mothers, fathers, sisters, friends and brothers 
and then always
You'll have everything in life

Without Stress

Let's burn some demons 
Fall down and kneel
and say our prayer 
Like a wheel

Let's burn some demons 
Let's do some work
Let's eat them all
With knife and fork

Let's burn some demons 
Fall on our knees
And pray to love
And please say please

Let's burn some demons 
On a big fight 
So we'll be able
To see the light

Let's clean ourselves 
From all infections 
To taste the sweetness 
Which love it mentions

Let's stay near love
Comfort and shelter
As Beatles sing
The Helter Skelter

Sweetness of sin
Pseudo - transient
It is love only 
Which is our tent

It is love only
Which pays our rent
So let's fall down
And all repent

Let's search for peace 
And happiness 
Love with all power
We can possess

Stay close to love
Enjoy blessedness 
Love truly love 
you will be happy

And without stress

Love Always Spins- Inspired By the Good Samaritan

I have been wounded 
Robbed off my clothes 
Some thieves attacked me 
Eaten by moths

I'm lying there 
right on your path
Eaten by anger
Eaten by wrath

The rage and fury
Choler and spleen
I'm full with blood 
I'm not clean

I'm half dead
I'm helpless 
There's no one
Who could care less

I have no shoes 
Nothing to dress
I can not walk
I must confess

You walk by me 
Leave me aside
And then from death 
You can not hide

You walk by me
Salve - Patch me up
Transport - kind treat me
It is a wrap

A wrap which is 
So full with life
With love you'll be
Husband and wife

You'll never die
You'll never cry
You'll never have 
To ask more why

As love is pure 
Love isn't shy
It's not afraid 
Love always serves you

As your maid
A gentlewomen 
Mary virgin 
It's love my baby

It always spins

I'M Primary - Fundamental

I'm spirit 
Be not afraid of it
I'm clear 
legit

I'm lyric
Empiric
Satiric
I visit

the other
I'm water
You're hot
I'm hotter

I'm son
You're daughter 
My spirit is tall
My flesh is shorter

I'm wind
Free
Not pinned 
Neither thick nor thin

I'm skinned 
I blow as I wish
No one knows where 
I'm coming from

And where I'm going 
People hear my roar 
It's my game
My score

I'm not less 
But more 
I'm not peripheral, minor
But core

I'm central 
Elemental
Principal 
Crucial

Vital 
Essential 
I'm Primary 
Fundamental

Gods Answer To Jesus - Inspired By John 17

Gods answer to Jesus - Inspired by John 17
God answers Jesus’s prayer to Be Glorified
After the father received Jesus’s prayer, he looked down towards him and said: “Son, indeed the hour has come. I will glorify you, that you may glorify me. 2 For I granted you authority over all people and you might give eternal life to all those I have given you. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they know me, the only true God, and you Jesus Christ whom I have sent. 4 You have have brought me glory on earth by finishing the work I gave you to do. 5 And now, Son, I will glorify you in my presence with the glory you had with me before the world began.
God answers Jesus’s prayer for his disciples
6”You have revealed me to those whom I gave you out of the world. They were mine; I gave them to you and they have obeyed my word. 7 Now they know that everything that I have given you comes from me. 8 For you gave them the words I gave you and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that you came from me, and they believed that I have sent you. 9 You pray for them. You’re not praying for the world, but for those I have given you, for they are mine. 10 All you have is mine, and all I have is yours. And glory came to you through them. 11 You will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and you’re coming to me. Holy Son, I protect them by the power of my name, the name I gave you, so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While you was with them, you protected them and kept them safe by that name I gave you. None had been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
13 You are coming to me now, but you say these things while you are still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of your joy within them. 14 You have given them my word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more then you are of the world. 15 Your prayer is not that I take them out of the world but that I protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world even as you are not of it. 17 I sanctity them by the truth; my word is truth. 18 As I have sent you into the world, you have sent them into the world. 19 For them you sanctify yourself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
God answers Jesus’s prayer for All Believers
20” Your prayer is not for them alone. You pray also for those who will believe in you through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Son, just as I am in you, and you are in me. May the also be in us so that the world may believe that I have sent you. 22 You have given them the glory that I gave you, that they may be one as we are one - 23 You in them and me in you - so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that I sent you and have loved them even as I have loved you.
24”Son, you receive those I have given you to be with you where you are, and to see your glory, the glory I have given you because I loved you before the creation of the world.
25” Righteous Son, through the world does not know me, I know you, and they know that I have sent you. 26 You habe made me known to them, and will continue to make me known in order that the love I have for you may be in them and that you yourself may be in them. “

Nobody Like You

Around my heart
There is a shell 
Around my soul
There is a shell

Around my power 
There is a shell 
Around my mind 
There is a shell

Together 4
I'm not well
Under this spell
I tried to break them 

But I can't
So I gave up
And turned to You
I looked above

Focused on love
And there it was
A pure white dove 
I looked beyond 

High in the sky
Was hoping that
I'll see you fly
But what I saw 

It was your eyes
They are so calm 
Without disguise 
I rested there

Inside your grace
And now I sleep 
Inside your face 
And now I live 

Inside your body
Like you dear love
There is nobody
