Coffee Mate

I Like Creamer With A Splash Of Coffee
In What Direction Did Your Mind Take Flight
Poetic Language Leaves Room For Deep Interpretation 
Even Though My Statement Is Literal Truth
It Packs A Punch Of Figurative Youth
Oh The Mind And Your Perception
Can Lead To Much Deception
I'm Drinking Coffee At 3:03 In The Afternoon
I've Always Chosen French Vanilla Over Hazelnut
But Lately I'm Taking A Risk
To Try Something Richer-Deeper-Fuller
Surprised By Hazelnut Bliss
I Chose To Shake The Habit Of What's Familiar
To Find What's Good To Me 
I Have Excavated A Sweet Love
And She Looks Like This
Black Knees And Elbows
Pouring Lips
Shrinking Hair That Stretches Lengths
Attitude And Fortitude
Still Working On The Latitude
I'm Drinking Coffee At 3:03 In The Afternoon
Safety In What's Familiar
Can Be Crippling To The Soul
Quite Often What's Familiar
Is Tormenting Your Growth
Check Double Check And Analyze
Your Truth Deep Down Within
Make Sure When All Is Said And Done 
You've Got The Sweetest End
Sweet In Peace
Sweet In Love
Sweet In Joy Everlasting
Sweet In How You Call Your Own Name
When Patience With Yourself Is At Its End
I've Excavated A Sweet Love
And She Looks Like This
She's Drinking Coffee at 3:03 In The Afternoon
Committed To Latitude Bliss

Favorite Jeans

How can I break it down and let you know
You've got me so emotional
I'm feeling things that I had only dreamed of
Right here and now as I sing this anthem loud
Realize that I am here by your side
With no intention would I ever disrespect you or neglect you 
You're the only man I consider my pride
Baby I'm proud of the man you are right now
Such great things that you will be ten years from now 
You're like my favorite pair of jeans 
You fit me perfectly 
You're like my favorite jewelry
The real kind
Boy you shine
You're like my angel straight from heaven 
Boy what I wouldn't do
To spend my life with you
You make me feel brand new
I never want us to be through
Just know my time away won't make my feelings change
My love grows stronger for you each and every day
You're like my favorite pair of jeans
You fit me perfectly

Fever

Fever
Like Steam Distillation
My Temperature Is Peaking
Careful Darling
Don't Elevate Me Too Quickly
For My Goods Might Spoil
This Is Precious Cargo
You Know The Confidence My Hips Bare
You Know The Radiance Of My Quenched Hair
Darling You Know 
Sugar I Know
Baby We Know
Patience Is The Essence Of Time
Peace Is Of Knowledge Divine
My Temperature Is Peaking 
Careful Darling
Don't Elevate Me Too Quickly
For It Is Not A Fleeting Feeling I Seek
I Want Strong Roots 
Baby Anchor Us Deep
Feed Me Your Consistence
And I Will Clothe You In My Persistent Care
Let Us Build Our Foundation
On The Solid Rock Of Salvation
So That We May Rock Steady
Until Our Last Days End
My Temperature Is Peaking
Careful Darling
Don't Elevate Me Too Quickly

Castle

There's A Castle In My Mind
I Gaze Upon Her Often 
From A Distance
In The Healthy Meadow
I Admire Her Beauty And Exquisite Form
She's Dauntless
I'm Standing In The Healthy Meadow Before Her
My Eyelashes Bat The Grass
Dew Drops Coat My Nose
And Moisten My Lips
I'm Hidden In The Meantime
But Not Forever
I'm Growing In The Healthy Meadow
My Eyes Are Fixed On High
I See The Beauty That Is Coming
There's A Castle In My Eye

Set Me Free

Have Mercy On Me Enemy
You Retched Fame Called Doubt
This Fight With You
I Lay It Down
It's Time To Climb The Mount
Loose Your Hold Oh Enemy
Your Weight I Shall Not Bare 
For I Have This Mount To Climb
There's No Room For Your Error
You Were Once A Fickle Thing
I Gave You Too Much Space To Breed
Spreading Like A Virus 
Planting Your Debilitating Seed
Have Mercy On Me King Of Kings
It's You That I Should Call
I Cannot Do A Thing Alone
Expecting To Soar Far
Mighty GOD My Father
JESUS Prince Of Peace
I've Been Running Long Enough
Finally It's You I Seek
Totally I Surrender
For The First Time In My Life
Without You I Am Nothing
Have Your Way LORD In My Life
Loose Your Hold Oh Enemy
Your Weight I Shall Not Bare
For I Have This Mount To Climb
There's No Room For Your Error
Yes GOD Will Meet Me Where I Am
HE'S Loved Me All Along
But I Shall Give My Best To HIM
I'm Climbing In THE SON
