Out of DarknessNothing would change the way life is now,Out of Darkness6 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
The hope of humanity is in no living man.
Just the lies that people spit from their mouths,
And the greatness of their never coming plans.
A man lies and cheats but The Lord is always there,
He's there to comfort you when hope seems to be small.
No one will ever match the love He feels for you,
He makes no mistakes and wants you to stand tall.
Don't let this world put you down, that's what they want,
To make you forget and to blame misfortune on Him.
"I'm one of Gods mistakes, he must have forgot me,"
You say as your love diminishes and faith goes dim.
Slowly darkness numbs your feeling from the inside,
But God is still watching you and with you as you go.
Nothing hurts Him the most as his children falling dark,
Whether you turn back to him is something he must know.
He loves his children and He loves you but you must believe,
God made you perfect and will always hear your plight.
Now rest your eyes and release everything on your mind,
Because
Carry MeThere are days when I feel rejectedCarry Me9 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
There are days when I feel like my cool has melted
When sadness collapses all over me
I don't know why or what it could be
I'm screaming for help
Because I feel bitterness within myself
Jesus what do you think of me on these days
I don't know but it might be just a phase
I fear that you look down on me like I'm a fool
I feel like I'm defying your every rule
God please show me how much you care
I need you more with each passing tear
I don't know what is wrong with me
I don't know if I'm walking humbly
I've felt you by my side before
Now I feel I'm on a faraway shore
Jesus help me now
Please
In My ArmsToday I watch from the skies,In My Arms1 year ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
And gaze at what this world has come to be.
The whole world has turned to darkness,
But really it is only you that I can see.
The happy days are joyful ones,
I love to see you smile and see your hopes soar.
But when you cry and frown,
I would walk a mile to make you better, if not more.
To hold you in my arms is my never ending wish,
I want to wrap my arms around you and hold you close.
Watching you be hurt is one of the most horrible tortures,
Not being able to tell you everything will be alright hurts the most.
All I can do is hope that you have faith in me,
Keep me close to your heart and never le
Road to TarshishI'm going to Tarshish,Road to Tarshish4 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
I'm running away,
away from this burden
too heavy for me.
I'm going to Tarshish,
fleeing from you,
fleeing this command
that's too uncomfortable.
I put my hand to the plow -
now I'm turning away,
now I am afraid
to do your will.
I'm going to Tarshish,
I'm running away.
"Speak," I said, "your servant hears" -
but now I feel so overwhelmed,
helpless in the face of what I must do,
helpless and disobeying you,
for obedience is too hard.
I'm going to Tarshish,
fleeing from you.
Lord, take me off this road to Tarshish;
bring me on your path again.
Give me courage for this calling,
and the strength to do your will.

What choice do I have?
I'm desperate.
Today looks bleak,
tomorrow darker still -
the days stretch out to hopelessness
and I see myself
defenceless, alone,
at the mercy of strangers,
far away from a home
that no longer exists.
Childless, helpless,
no one to provide,
destitute and lost -
so desperate.
If this is my outlook
what choice do I have,
but to do the unthinkable
though it be unforgivable?
I'll quell my qualms
and kill my conscience -
for what is good
and what is evil
and what can be called sin
in this state of desperation,

Matthew 6:19-21Bereave the soul whose hours are lostMatthew 6:19-212 months ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
who bears the sin and refuses the victory of the cross
who foolishly squanders all
Jesus gained from His three falls
He put on Himself a crown of thorns
that one of gold upon your head be worn
He pinned Himself with surrender upon the cross
so that all are gained
and none are lost
What could drive a man
to sell his Christ given victory
and co-heir rights to Heaven
for the fiery furnace of hell?
Be forewarned
for those who seek the pleasures of the earth
and take advantage of the weak
Did not the Lord say
that their angels are constantly facing the Father in Heaven?

as I watch him float away,
as I lose my greatest treasure
and he drifts out of my reach -
here, by the riverside
I know what motherhood is.
It means to lose
so he can gain,
means putting his good
over mine,
although it hurts.
It means to bear pain
so he can be safe,
covering him with my wings,
protecting him with my life,
sending him downstream
although it rends my soul.
It means sacrificing
my happiness for his

These tears I cry

A Blessed GiftAs a blessing from God I came to youA Blessed Gift5 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Led by angels I softly flew from above
They carried me carefully from the sky
In happiness a new life was sent to earth
And an angel whispered sweetly to me:
Welcome to life, little child to be
I was seen by God right from the start
As a beautiful gift planned for long
He knew me when I was almost
To small to be seen
When I was hiding in my mothers womb
A long time before I was even born
God opened his thick, old book
And wrote my name on a unoccupied spot
And my days were created
Before the first one had started
For my father wanted me to have
All good things that could ever be given
The Mask Of StrengthThe strong woman hides behind her mask of strength,The Mask Of Strength1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
She is not strong,
She hides her true heart so the world won't break her,
But in truth she was broken from the first day she put it on,
She will hold her head up high,
But that is fake,
She hides her true feelings,
She uses her mask to hide her tears,
She can fool you into thinking she is strong,
Will you see though her mask?
Will you see though my mask?
Will you help me run from this pain I hide?
The RockThis is no rock.The Rock3 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
This is a landslide
crumbling down,
pulling others to the depths,
burying, not building up.
This is dust,
flying away with the wind,
too lost to guide,
too weak to stay.
This is jelly,
trembling and shaking,
unable to support,
unable to stand.
This is no rock.
The one You called Rock
is a trembling wreck,
crying alone
in a silent alleyway.
The one You called Rock
has come crashing down,
is broken and lost
because he could not stand.
The one You called Rock
was a mistake.
And yet
you are never mistaken.
You keep your promises.
You will yet make
a rock out of me.
You saw this long ago
and yet you chose me -
ME!
For you do

Little girl
Spin around ballerina
Lift your feet from the ground
Flight into a pirouette
Let your passionate brown eyes
Mirror your beautiful soul
And shine as twinkling stars
Hold your lips very still
So no wrong words leaves your mouth
From your face, a pale white
Carefully drizzled with warm freckles
Inframed by fluttering, hazel hair
Which carries a big, cute ribbon
Lift your head in pride
Let your mouth find the happy shape
Of a childs sincere smile
Then shyly blush
Let red roses be painted on your cheeks
And fresh, watery tears fill
Those golden eyes of yours
In fright, quickly look down
Bow in respect

He kissed me,

Was it not innocent?
Stop me, he said,
but I never wanted to -
it felt too beautiful -
and I always thought:
When it comes to it
I'll say no.
Stop me, he said,
and I gave in to his kisses,
and I gave in to his touch,
and I knew that I should stop him,
but I never wanted to.

The rest will come.
The rest will come in time;
It comes no sooner if you pine,

It will come no faster

it never will boil.
Don't break your head,

The rest will come.
Don't stand there staring

for dreams to come true.
Don't look at what's missing
but work with what's there -
seek first the Kingdom.
The rest will come.

And end up gossiping to God,
I ask for Him to change me,
But refuse to let go of,
All of my chains,
Sin's in my veins,
I go to church on Sunday,
Spend more time choosing my clothes,
Than I do worshipping God,
Or sharing Him with all of those,
Who have not heard,
No not a word,
Please just take some time to think,
About how much that we have here,
And how believers 'round the world,
Have to worship Him in fear,
Death and torture threaten flesh,
But they continue for they know,
Tribulation will be here,
But He has overcome the world,
How can we live life like this,
We have so much to offer up,

I wish it'd never end,
The moments in my life,
When You're my only friend,
When life can fail around me,
When people fall like leaves,
When no one sees or hears me,
Alone with You at ease,
The moments when I look around,
And don't feel lust but love,
The moments when I love like You,
A higher love above,
When I don't need a wedding,
My wedding has been planned,
I just wait for Your return,
The promise of Your hand,
God I love this moment,
I wish it'd never end,
I pray for romance to desert me,
On You I'll depend,
I pray for fleshly passions,
To leave my spirit be,
To leave me to my God,

In my pride I demand,
In my doubt I beg of You,
As if You begrudgingly give,
So God I ask for Your Spirit,
And I know I don't deserve,
A single glance from You,
No, not even one word,
And yet You gave Your life for me,
You are Holy, You are good,
Even when I had to convince myself,
I know You understood,
You brought hardship to my life,
And You understand my pain,
This meekness I feel is not a sin,
You made me feel this way,
I know You want me to pursue You,
My flesh is selfish; my Spirit scar

You wish you had a friend, to help you find relief
You seek freedom, and you seek rest
You say you're something random who was put into this mess
Just a simple mistake that's not worth a single dime
You don't know I care about your sake and want you to be mine
Please accept me in your lonely broken heart
Come to me and our relationship will start
I will forgive you for the wrongs you've done
Because when I died on the cross child I had won
I know every hair, that is on your head
I hold ever tear, that you have ever shed
And I saw you cower, in the middle of the night

He'll take me away
On His lap is where I'll stay
And I will be home
As he sits on his throne
Never again will I be alone
He's coming again
Though I don't know when
But until then
I will not fear
To Him I am dear
This is very clear
Feel His presence
He goes beyond science
Jesus has defeated the giants
He's freed the slaves
They come out of their graves
Did you know that Jesus saves
Glory be to God on high
Now he's with me I can fly
Soaring high into the big blue sky
Jesus is now my everything
My soveren lord and mighty king
To him alone will I sing

what's his name?
Does he rule by law
or does he care about our shame
Who is God
Did he create anything?
Like the smallest seedpod
Or put in place the mightiest king
Who is God
Does he know I exist?
As I look abroad
The reasons he wouldn't know make a big list
Who is God?
Many look for the answer
Perhaps we should look above
Looking in the wrong place could lead to disaster
God does not belong to a religion
He cannot be contained in a building
He does not need our permission
This thought is truly thrilling
Now I know who God is
Now I know that I am his
And he proved that he loved me
When he died on the cross
