FLY FLY LITTLE WINGS

20 Little angels preparing for school
one morn
Unaware in just a little while lives

would be so torn
Each one accounted for as they were
called my name
Viciously taken as the enemy showed
no shame
20 little innocents still so pure at heart
Had no idea on a journey they would
embark
Guardian Angels closely watch on that
fateful day
Praying continuously as they knew what
was at play
Fly Fly Little Wings into Father's Love
Angels sing 'Hallelujah' ascending up
above...

20 Little followers enter heavens gates
Bright shining stars as Jesus patiently
waits
Each one accounted for as they were
called by name
One by one into His arms enduring no
more pain
Little giggles as voices talk above one
another's
Telling stories of earthly Fathers and
Mothers
Borrowed to them for but a short time
Left behind to bare the anguish of such
a horrid crime
Father look upon these folk and bring
peace beyond understanding
Broken hearts left in pieces are sure to
need a Jesus mending...


There is time for all things upon this earth...A time to laugh A time to Cry..
A time to weep A time to mourn (Eccl 3:4) During this time of mourning
for 20 little innocents and 6 adults ...know that Jesus is the only constant..
Lives change within a blink of an eye...To all those mourning the world
mourns with you ... the Angels are singing and dancing in honour of 20 little
innocents who have gone home ....

A MOMENT IN HIS PRESENCE


SUNS first rays creating a radiant glow
Illuminating the morning sky displaying
a Glorious show...
Opening my eyes I face a brand new day
Thankful for the gift of life I begin to pray...

'Father create in me a heart that's pure
Guide me on a path that is heaven sure
Great is Your Glory Great is Your Might
Give me the strength to pursue this fight
The courage to stand tall and stay strong
Remembering always to whom I belong
The road often gets a little rough but I
get on by
Stumbling over uneven terrain often
asking why
Help me not get so angry when the unjust
go free
For You know when we sit and when we
rise there is nothing You do not see
Create an opportunity for me to speak
about You
Redeem my time so I can do all that I
am deemed to
And Dad place Your Mighty hand over the
homeless and poor
If not me then send Your workers to guide
them on a heavenly tour
If my irritation does not become me on this
day
Let me look to myself and find the route of
my shameful display
Oh and Dad send Your angels to protect my
friends and family
Near and far they mean the world to me
In Jesus Precious Name ...Amen'...


SONS first rays creating a radiant glow
Illuminating my being within displaying
a Glorious show...

WARRIORS REDEMPTION


To uphold honour a Warriors Code
Acknowledging his duty accepting
his load
Understanding his responsibilty
His chosen path - his destiny
Bringing order to incoherent chaos
This being his preordained ethos
Clothed in full protective armour
To ward off hurt pain and trauma
A paragon for others to see
Standing tall in Father God's army
His duty to pursue excellence
To save as many in his existence
Of noble character he strives to
ensure freedom
A gift of grace awarded him via
God's Kingdom
Through the sacrifice of a Lamb
Giving his utmost doing all he can
Saving souls from Hells firey gate
Presenting options changing there
fate
But as a mortal he falls short of
God's glory
He is yet an example of you and I
marching in Father's Army
A Warriors destiny chasing Holiness
Endeavouring to live a life of
rightousness
For each of us there is no exemption
Accepting to repent we capture the
'Warriors Redemption'...

YOU'RE THE ONE I WANT

Closing my eyes I leave the
world behind
A moment in Your presence to
express what You've designed
Within this space there is no
second glance
Thoughts only of You I lose
myself in dance
My soul alive with emotion
Offering You my devotion
In this praise dance I am
confessing
I cannot live life without
Your blessing
In awe of You I move freely in the
rain
My heart is on fire and there You
will remain
It's Raining down - Raining down
on me
Cleansing my soul releasing me
Only You can make me feel this way
Take the lead and promise me you
will stay
Everything is falling into place
Surrounded by your all consuming
grace
Heavens violins playing so beautiful
a song
I know - I know to whom I belong
Your angels join in dance from up
above
Oh my Sovereign Lord I am sheltered
by Your love
Before You I am humble and no longer
defiant
It's You Jesus - You're the only one I want ...

SOMEDAY

Someday I will be standing at heavens
door
Knocking to come in like You did
with me before
With a hardened heart I turned You
away
Will You do the same as I fall on
my knees and pray
Is it to late to say 'I am sorry'
My life was filled with torment I
was consumed with worry
With foolish deceit I allowed the
enemy to play
Like a crow to a corpse just picking
away
I could not see Your light beyond my
rotting flesh
With every attempt the enemy would
pick the wounds afresh
Someday I will enter heavens gates
and there You will be
Will You receive me with open arms
accept me graciously
My heart is on fire I long to see Your
face
Enfold me in Your loving arms let
me feel Your warm embrace
Replace that crow with heavens
dove
Lavish upon me Your heavenly love
I know it's a little late to make up
for all I've done
But Your mercies are new every
morning and my day has just begun...

NAILS MEANT FOR ME


Trying to fathom the horror of a
broken mind
A build up perhaps - yearning for 
a love that one cannot find
Wanting to be noticed yet preferring
to be alone
Expectations beyond reasonable but
demands it be shown
I could ask why a thousand times I
guess
Why a person would hurt innocents
not caring less
Collateral damage it certainly could
not be
A pre meditated occurrence murdering
others deliberately
Judge I shall not do though for what if
it happen to me
Could it be possible to wake one morn
lost in complete insanity
Jesus Passion shines from Your Love
within
Through the darkness You are the light
the freedom of sin
There is none other like You make Your
face to shine upon me
Work within and change what needs to
be
Ignite Your light in my heart so others
can see
Help me never forget the pain endured
and the 'Nails Meant For Me' ....

WHISPERS IN THE NIGHT

Daunting whispers in the night
Enticing me to enlist in satans fight
Listening to the hurts of long ago
Enraged as closed wounds now
openly flow
Questioning my reasons at being
in Christ completed
Authority and self worth instantly
depleted
Even in slumber my anger is rife
Remembering times of ongoing strife
Livid at God for not taking them
from heavens door
For that is where I had left them
when I had prayed before
Another whisper a different voice
Gods Angels presenting forth
another choice
A different vision a sense of
Deja vu
Acutely aware of what I am to do
For the day was long and I was
to tired to pray
I had left myself open allowing the
enemy to play
Father in this place between dream
and wake clothe me in Your armour
I pray in Jesus Name Sake
And if my time on earth is done I pray
for You my soul to take...

COME

Standing on the piers edge overlooking
the ocean deep
The beauty of lapping waves a sight
I intend to keep
I can hear an echo my name is carried
in the wind
A gentle sound blowing in the breeze is
whispering
I gaze up into the heavens the stars
are shining bright
In awesome wonder to be part of such
a tranquil night
There it is again - its sounding really near
'Come - Come on a little closer I have
something you need to hear
You're so Amazing I delight in you
my dear'
Emotions rising up for I heard my Fathers
call
Whispering terms of endearment carried
in the winds they fall
'Come - Come on a little closer I have
something you need to hear
You're my beloved and I will Never let
you go my dear'
A vivid memory of a time spent in
heavens room
Before I was fearfully and wonderfully
knitted in my mothers womb...

HOLY OF HOLIES


In words of old it is said
Into the Holy of Holies only
the High Priest could tread 
Once a year on "Yom Kippur"
the Day Of Atonement
Could he enter Gods Throne Room
containing the Ark of the Covenant
A special day given for fasting
Presenting forth to God the sin
offering
A list of instructions He was
given to complete
Afore Sprinkling blood of the sin
offering before Gods mercy seat
How awesome for us in this day
and age
By the blood of Jesus we are free to
enter this place at any stage
A place to come boldly forth and
take part
With clean hands and a pure heart
Where your sins are seen no more
As you enter into the Holy Of Holies
most sacred door
No longer having to sacrifice for sin
on a special day
This already been done the reason why
Jesus died in such a way
So come just as you are and worship our
Great King
Enter into the Holy of Holies and present
your praise offering ....

FLYING HIGH


Going on an epic journey
Flying High on ecstasy
So happy I'm so very happy 
Nothing Oh! Nothing can touch me
Do I have any problems - No
not at all
I'm so focused so stimulated I
could never fall
Oh how I love to feel how I love
to touch
A wonderful feeling I love it so
very much
People are looking but I don't really
care
I'm looking back at them giving
them reason to stare
I have so much energy I'm in a
place of bliss
Slowly sinking into a depressive
abyss
Where is that feeling it's just
disappeared
I am so cold I'm feeling so very
weird
Reality has struck and I'm back to
where I was before
Looking around to see if I can find
anymore
How simple it is to feel so invincible
Merely by taking a little pill
Now is the difficult task I have to
keep myself in check
It surely is addictive but I'm bound
to hit the deck
In the long run I'll be schizophrenic
Heaven will deny me for being so
very toxic
Going on an epic journey heavenly
bound
Flying High on Jesus a new Love that
I found....

CROWN OF THORNS


Broken and bruised humiliated
and torn
Jerusalem's mob filled with delusional 
scorn
Thorns a curse for mans admission
of sin
A pain of which I could never
comprehend
Like a Lamb to the slaughter Jesus
You were left for dead
As they placed a Crown Of Thorns
upon Your precious head
There truly was no part of humanity
that You did not encounter
The epitome of the most perfect love
for me the undeserver
While we symbolically bare our own
pierced deep within
Superficial wounds transparent as
You endure our suffering
Overcoming lifes trials narrating
our own story
Jesus You replaced our thorns with the
Crown of Glory...

TIS THE SEASON


Twas way back in time whence a
baby boy was born
His entry into our world in 
the purest form
Preparing His entire life to be a
sacrifice
Fathers only Son His name is
Jesus Christ
Pain endured way beyond our
reverie
For you and I to reign in victory
In schools His name is no longer
revered
Removing His status a time we
had feared
Shopping malls void of Christmas
delight
For Our Lord Our Saviour we have
the right to fight
It is not merely a Happy Holiday
Refusing to partake in good tidings
yet taking our Christmas pay
The reason for the season should not
go amiss
Celebrating the birth of Christ and
having a very Merry Christmas...

BURNING


Father I'm burning up inside I can
feel the fire torch my flesh
I'm so desperate for Your healing 

rain to bring in something fresh
Take me away from this place of
hells burning fire
Dejected in my own created ire
So simple a task to simply fade
away
Giving up on strength to face yet
another day
I'm burning Father I'm burning
up inside
Ignited are the flames stripping away
my pride
Flickering at the nerves of my
confidence
Melting it down to the plasma of
mere insolence
I'm lost I need heavens rain even a
little foam
To calm the raging fire that does
within me roam
But tread lightly Father hidden is
the life raft
Upon entering an all consuming
back draft
Smouldering within - it lay in wait
For the opening to be released from
its hellish gate
I'm burning Father I'm burning up
inside
Take me on a journey a ride along
heavens tide...

HEAVENS THUNDER


Serene tranquillity fills the air
Surrounded by a peace that is
beyond compare 

A Glorious light emanates
leaving a little trace
Releasing heavens breath upon
the human race
Did you see it - did you look up
into the sky
Did you see the heavens open
up shouting a saddened cry
Pouring down in torrids on earths
sinful ground
Crying are its tears in the rain
thats falling down
As the Glorious glow emanates
a brightened flash
Heavens breath lets forth a
reverberated crash
Clouds are darkened in its
maddened force
Setting mankind on a different
course
Towns and villages are seemingly
washed away
With it the debris from the sins
of yesterday
Suddenly - Serene tranquillity fills
the air
Surrounded by a peace that is
beyond compare...

KNOCK OUT

With haughty authority he faces his
opponent
Intimidating him making him feel
despondent
Testosterone is ripe in the air
Sweat dripping from his forehead
giving the death stare
Growling at one another in snarling
disdain
Preparing to inflict some serious
pain
With a stance he circles the ring
Grabbing his opponents head he
begins grappling
Holding on tight his rival cannot be
freed
A few punches to the face and his
opponent begins to bleed
A slip of the hand and his rival is out
Ready to display what he is all about
Dancing around the opponent lands
a knocking blow
Followed with a kick to the thigh
another to the elbow
Reeling back to prevent further pain
Then coming in fast bringing his rival
shame
Landing a blow to the others face
Prepared to parade the others disgrace
Disorientated his opponent goes down
His feet no longer on solid ground
At first he lingers before he gives a
victory shout
Making certain his rival has been
knocked out
Now holding the title in his division
He helps his opponent up in
humbled submission
Nothing personal just a fight that
needed to be won
Giving him status at being number
ONE...

ONE NIGHT STAND

Burning in the aftermath of
sensual desire
Skin tingling with the
sweat of ignited fire
Yearning for the sensation
of orgasmic pleasure
Reigniting the warmth of
God given treasure
Spiralling to the peak of
the ultimate climax
Thankful for the time taken
to wax
In frenzied delirium self control
is no more
Insatiable amnesia of what is
in store
A union of two bodies with
forgotten protection
Only time will tell of its earliest
detection
Nightly sweats of aching fever
A common cold that you just
cannot sever
Time to be examined about
how you're feeling
News that will ultimately send you
reeling
HIV now roams your body within
Was it worth interacting in this
sexual sin
Medication now a close knitted friend
Frequent blood count checks until
the very end
Although the notion of sexual delight
might sound real grand
Unprotected sex is a big NO NO especially
with a one night stand....

BEYOND


Beyond yonder gate lies
the unknown
Time to explore - its 
territory to roam
In the discovery a gem
may be found
Or perhaps we may tread
on golden covered ground
Excavating untouched land
Digging up trenches of rock
stone and sand
Perhaps a skull of old or
a fossiled bone
Yet beyond yonder gate we
must tread into the unknown
To merely spectate treasure
shall be lost
Venturing forth ensures the
ice will defrost
Allow the change within
The unearthing to begin
Detect the encounter of the
precious and rare
Priceless beauty of the
exquisite out there
Treasurable artifacts so
valuabley preserved
Ancient words living and
agelessly conserved
False perception its a
prehistoric tome
Words of old are true and
found beyond yonder gate
into the unknown...

A LOVE SONG

Sitting upon a bench along a
garden path
Delighting in baby sparrows 

taking a little bath
Singing a song to the one
I'm thinking of
My Lord My Saviour I'm singing
a song of LOVE
Hear my voice as I reach the
soprano note
Lowering with a falsetto to the
lyrics that I wrote
Toning down to a hum below
middle C
Raising up to a trill releasing
this gift in me
Giving You the Glory with all
that I am
Controlling my vocals and the
air within my diaphragm
I'm free falling into a sea of
LOVE
Can You hear me calling can
You hear me from above
A new song I sing unto You
Your perfect LOVE I long to pursue
Sweetly the lyrics gently flow
Swiftly the melody raises up a tempo
Singing in the freedom with no
special plan
Singing A LOVE SONG simply
because I can...

AVINU MALKEINU (OUR FATHER OUR KING)


Avinu Malkeinu Our Father Our King
During Rosh Hashanah the Jewish
people sing 
'Yom Kippur' the day of atonement to
A melodious prayer sung unto You
With captivating reverence a humble
request
Harmonised in a whisper pleading to be
blessed
A hushed slow chanting repetitive in
their display of virtue
Avinu Malkeinu kaleh chol tsar unmastin
mealeynu
Our Father Our King bring an end to
trouble and oppression
Adhere beautiful voices singing with
great conviction
A devoutly religous prayer seeking
Your compassion
Pleading for an end to war, famine
and pestilence
A hope of an end to disease and plagues
in this existence
Avinu Malkeinu Our Father Our King
Hear the earnest prayer they before
You bring
For it is so with us gentiles to
Powerful in our diversity yet alike in our
pleading for a good year anew
Whether hushed or abounding in our
rejoices
Avinu Malkeinu Our Father Our King
Sh'ma kelenu - hear our voices...

RENEWED


In true worship I come boldly forth
and take part
Receive me in this place Father with 
clean hands and a pure heart
Let Your Glory fall and wash away
All the fear - anger and hurts of
yesterday
In the midst of all heartache and pain
I surrender to Your healing rain
I lay before the throne of grace
In feverish prayer to seek Your face
I am weak and need Your mercy
Your strength to pursue life's journey
This is the day that You have made
My life experiences I refuse to trade
I pray for a sanctified vision
To persevere and never give in
As I clap my hands in joysome glee
May the enemy release his hold and
flee from me...

FOOLS PARADISE

Perplexed when faced with
formidable trials
Living at large with expectant
denials
Coasting the frontier of one's
own understanding
Striving through on one's
particular branding
Yet stumbling blocks there will
always be
And it's okay because Your grace
is sufficient for me
Through the remembrance of matter
I'm changed in my bleakness
Your strength Father is made
perfect in my weakness
For it is the ethos of some to have
a humanistic spirit
Into the supernatural realm I gain
insight and You accredit
To deny Your love and refuse
sound advice
With foolish incompetence I would
find myself in Fools Paradise...

LETTING GO

When you're feeling
a tad blue
Alone and frightened
to
You know that it's
time
Time to draw
the line...

Father a plea before to
sleep I retire
Fill me with your Holy
fire
Within my body let
it ignite
Let my life be changed
this very night...

A song I like has entered
my mind
Only the chorus really is
just my kind
So Father God if I lay
here
 
Filled with doubt and
fear...

In a ball all covered and
curled
Would You lie with me and
just forget the world
Wrap your arms around
and protect me
From this bondage set
me free...

PONDERING


The night is at an end welcomed
is a brand new morn
Sleep evades me - an emotional 
battle has been born
A sense of loss has settled in
Sound of the crashing thunder
has me pondering
Gazing out the bedroom window
I close my eyes and hear a gentle
water flow
The rain lightly taps against
the window glass
Lost in thought aware the storm
will come to pass
Reminiscing over years gone by
Letting forth a heartfelt sigh
All hurts and anger there is no more
For I left them at heavens door
Embracing change accepting all
things new
Memories of yesteryear have paid
their due
Deep within my heart they will
always be
Resurfacing only to comfort me
This present day is but for
me a gift
Prayer my edification when I need
a lift
I therefore endeavor to have no fear
For my path ahead has been made
abundantly clear...

ULTIMATE SACRIFICE

Agony so painfully endured for me
A mere mortal to reign in victory
The curse nailed to the cross
Your suffering not at all a loss
With each lashing and whipping
Each nail and thorn piercing
You made the Ultimate Sacrifice
Jesus my gratitude could never
suffice
Through sin the beauty only seen
Blood of the lamb has washed
me clean
From East to West my sins are
no more
Upon Your human form this You
bore
Amazing Saviour You paid the price
For human kind You became the
ULTIMATE SACRIFICE...

ITS ALL ABOUT YOU

Underneath a clear
blue sky
Fluffy clouds passing
lazily by
Upon the green pastures
I lay my head
In awe I admire all You
have created
Oh! Father that You are
so mindful of me
For my pleasure You
created the galaxy
To look upon with wonder
and might
The perfection that is in
Your sight
The slight breeze gently
kissing my face
I feel it Father I feel your
warm embrace
Even through the hard times
your love will never cease
As I gaze upon the reflection of
Your masterpiece
Its all about You Jesus - its all
about You...

INNER VOICE

A little chill up my spine
This silly niggle alls not fine
I glance behind - it seems okay
Why then do I still feel this way
The hairs stand at the back of
my neck
Once again I turn to check
At the crossroads I had a choice
I should have listened to that
inner voice...

'Keep on walking' is what I hear
'God has not given a spirit of fear'
Almost a sprint as I walk on by
Fighting this feeling not to cry
'Move on Over' It's so audible now
Promptly I obey trusting it somehow
Pleased that I have another choice
Unlike before  - I choose the inner
voice...

A truck drives by in full speed
Paying me no mind and to the road
takes no heed
A sigh of relief at my narrow escape
Thankful I didn't compromise what
was at stake
So listen to that voice inside it does not
take skill
If I hadn't I certainly would have been
road kill
At the crossroads now I merely rejoice
For I endeavour to acknowledge that
inner voice...

TOO LATE

The wailing of sirens has passed
on by
Within the mayhem a distant cry
Went on over to have a look see
Aware this is where God is calling me
So sad a sight my heart just broke
Drunken driving - could tell by the
way he spoke
Barely able to stand up straight
Balancing himself against some old
gate
Through the windscreen on the bonnet
a young lad lay
So unfair his life tragically taken away
Face in his hands the guilty party weeps
Trying to reassure himself the young
lad simply sleeps
Too Late a notion the damage already
done
A family out there has to deal with the
death of a son
Through fallen tears I begin to pray
Not altogether sure on what to say
Laying of hands upon the drunken
driver
Not my place to judge as a believer
Yet Oh Sweet Jesus! be with the
family of this young lad
For in their own strength they will be
raving mad
As sorrow consumes and rips them
apart
For the drunken driver to - for this
will lay heavily upon his heart
A sudden fear fills my being
What if it were mine I was seeing
Amid the chaos  no matter where
they may be

I pray Angelic Protection over my
family...

CROSSING OVER

Jesus I used to think there was no place
in this world for me
Entertaining suicidal thoughts wallowing

in self pity,
I felt sorry for myself all the time
I guess that's when You decided to draw

the line...

One day You guided me to this awesome place
all those feelings You wanted me to face
I have to admit it wasn't easy,
Standing there feeling rather queesy...

Butterfly's in my stomach - a stirring in my soul
The tears kept on coming I knew I'd reached

a goal
My life after that has never been the same
To this place with You, I keep coming

again and again...

I give my life to You entirely - forever
Ties to my old life I completely sever
I realize through all my troubles and strife
You have a plan and a purpose for my life...

I will never be satisfied where I am with You
I desire to know You more and what You plan

for me to do
Thank you for the love and guidance You

have shown
Without my spiritual family I would never

have grown...

THE UNBELIEVER (TALKING TO JESUS)

Why do You love me - when I sin so much
 Do You not have better things to do
 My world serves me - it's my only crutch
Yet every where I turn  - I see You...

Do You really want to take that chance
To bestow upon me - Your abundant love           
Though I may never give You a second glance 
What love is this that comes from above!...

 I Hear people say that You do not exist
That You are part of my imagination
To turn away from Your word - To resist
Yet I have in me this immense fascination...

 Is it not of human nature to test everything
Though we may face many dangers
How can one believe - if one cannot see anything
Yet when others speak of Your Name - I can see
the changes...
Is it true that there is power in this Name "JESUS'
A mere man that was nailed to a cross
All I need do then is come to true repentance
'Well' not to test this would be a complete loss...
I cannot see You - yet I will close my eyes
I humble myself before You - on my knees
Forgive me then Lord for my life is a story of lies
Come into my heart and fill me with Your peace...
How strange is this - that I feel drunk
I do not drink - Yet I cannot stand
How far down have I really sunk
Yet I feel truly grand..
What voice is this - I hear on the inside
Am I going mad
Is this Your power Lord - that I have cried
Then I receive it for today You have made
me truly glad...

FOUND (A PRAYER)

Only a moment "almost suddenly"
it would seem
My vision was blurred - disintegrating

was my dream
Saving souls no longer a priority
Creeping inside the spirit of inferiority

How Glorious You are Lord - that
You could see
Through the fences of the enemy -

the good in me
Although my path no longer made sense
You  brought clarity through the works

of your saints
Not harshly done but a gentle rebuke
Awakening every nerve like an armed nuke
No longer oppressed but of a sound mind
A feeling I felt of a different kind

Forgive me Lord for being so open to
the temptress
For allowing in me the spirit of the

seductress
Help me to clothe myself always with

your armour
To leave behind the anger - the hurt - the trauma

Oh!  Lord our souls I pray for You to capture
Leave us not behind - let us be caught up

in your rapture.

                 In the name of Jesus                

SOME SAY

Some say I am but a drifter
One that is always in need
Some say I am like a stranger
Leaving behind a darkened seed
Some say danger does in me abide
As the hurt has left it's trace
I say I am a christian broken inside
Coming before the throne of grace...

Some say I am not worthy
To be loved by our Great King
Some say I am filled with apathy
And can before Him nothing bring
After the ache and tears cried
Some say I am so out of place
I say I am a christian broken inside
Forever seeking His face...

Some say I am no longer trying
'Judge me not to Jesus I confess'
Some say a part of me is dying
Yet I know my worth as a true princess
For when my days have been so long
And my journey they do not know
Faith has made me strong
As in Christ I continue to grow
So when some say I have not tried
I simply smile and pursue the chace
I know I am a christian all broken inside
Allowing God to fill this empty space...

PERCEPTION


My perception mounting with
unclear obscurity
Disguised in the eclipse of hidden 

insecurity
My intelligence indistinctively in
question
Failing to see beyond the confusion
For it is of my understanding
Gaining knowledge requires much
downloading
Doubtful of certain facts seemingly
unheard of
Breaking through the veil is the
certainty of God's love
Concealed is the ambiguous notion
of external importance
Yet acknowledging the essential
element of epic substance
Though my perception be
critically darkened
It is within the influential walk of
the noted
Correct guidance besides still waters
Gaining order among God's sons and
daughters
Even though material data is vital
Keeping on the know how-remaining
insightful
It is with abundant joy to walk the walk
and talk the talk
Of the One True Love given by our
One True God Divine
Not only in knowledge but becoming as
one in this time...

Like sparkling diamonds
the raindrops glisten
Her downpour a song if
you closely listen
The loss created in her
wake
Not her burden to
undertake
Her sole purpose to produce
life
A certain beauty and peace
amid the strife...

This all for reasons we know
In the aftermath a glorious
glow
The birthing of creatures anew
What's been done none can
undo
Tis the season of spring -
radiating beauty
Sights to behold as colours
replace the beastly...

Blooming forth an array of
nature so divine
As this season prouduces
the sublime
Vainly flowers openly parade
their exquisite beauty
The dull covered ground  now
a velvet of luminous greenery
Twigs becoming massive trees
Oxygen producing life within
it's leaves
The scenery so beautiful and
bright
In awe to behold such a
glorious sight...

SUPER HERO

Amazing in His sight to be
justified
In His image created and
glorified
Predestined in life to be a
Super Hero
A gifting placed within only
I can show
Giving glory to God when
shared with all
Yet every Super Hero has a
downfall...

Even Super Man was weakened
by kryptonite
Thus my selfish wants derail me
from the light
My desires then my kryptonite
not the sound of Satan's voice
Only a seed he can plant the rest
is all my choice
If I say I am justified and free
from sin
I have allowed my kryptonite to
set in...

My protection then from this
weakness in me
Is found in the confines of
Kingdom Unity
Confession of sin protection
against my kryptonite
Fellowship with the saints my
help from Super Hero plight...

Romans 8 v 19:  For the earnest expectation of the creation
eagerly awaits the revealing of the Sons of God..(Super Hero's)

HEAR MY CRY

I come boldly before
the throne of grace
In feverish prayer to
seek Your face
I am weak and need
Your mercy
Your strength to pursue
life's journey...

For this is the day that
You have made
The days of my life
I refuse to trade
I pray for a sanctified
vision
To persevere and never
give in...

With arms lifted up
high
I honour You Father
hear my cry
For it is only in this
place
That I can feel Your
amazing grace...

(Isaiah 40 v 16)  See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands,
your walls are ever before me...

FORLORN

Determination in her steps she walks
on by
Tears filtering her eyes she begins
to cry
Her head bent down low
She's been dealt another blow
A limp falters her walk
Still she does not look up - she
does not talk
Oblivious to those around
Focused on solid ground
Her destiny the beach
Detached and out of reach
Wind blowing her hair - she
looks out to sea
Longing in her eyes - the need
to simply be
Lifting her head towards the skies
Breathing in deeply - closing her
eyes
There was something about her way
That prompted me to stay
I see her restrict - her body go
tense
Instinctively I prepare to aid in
her defence
Shoulders trembling I hear her cry
Interrupted attempts of a lullaby
My heart aches at the sadness in
her face
Yet I get the notion not to invade
her space
This is her moment - it is not mine
Saying her goodbyes for the last
time...

OBSESSION


Taking a calculated risk upon a
weary journey
Mistrustful eyes ever so watchful 
green with envy
Nifty in roaming unchartered domain
Determined in his resolve that there
is no shame
Object of his desire a new possession
Coveting with ungodly obsession
Unnerving reluctant to venture out
Calming the urge to scream and shout
Disrupted is the all consuming peace
He unrelenting rips apart with ease
Final in the conclusion and now aware
It's an absolute jungle out there
Walking an unprecedented line
Failing to convince that all's going
to be fine
Unsure of where to go or what to
do
Determined in strength to start anew
In Father is placed complete trust
For God will do what He must
No longer to live a life in fear
For smited he will be when God
is near...

DERAILED

Derailed off the track of righteousness
Travelling the wide path of lawlessness
Bitter sweet trials of all that defines
wrong
Imprudent in finding a place to belong
Gratifying only for but a little while
Carnal desire similarly erasing the smile
Anticipating for God to come through
Ranting and raving about all He does
not do
Focusing only on the bigger picture
Failing to recall memorised scripture
Overlooking the blessings in all the little
things
For a mustard seed to blossoms from that
which nurturing brings
To counteract spiralling downward in
massive destruction
By simply giving thanks in every situation
Adhere to the small things with a
gratifying heart
Hereby being able to hear what God
is trying to impart...

SOVEREIGN GRACE

I am still and wait on You
In this silence to pursue
The Glory realm of Your face
Rain on me 'Your Sovereign Grace'
Blessings of unmerited favour
Bestowed upon me, this I savour
Supreme Power I am unworthy
Your amazing power saturates me
Enfolding me in Your arms of love
On Your wings I soar above
The clouds are gone the sky is blue
Bursting forth a clearer view
I drink of Your waters I thirst for
more
I hunger for whats in store
Trial and error can bring me down
Your Sovereign Grace smooths
my frown
Strong and courageous I stand
and fight
On the prize ahead I don't lose
sight
Born to run this race of time
Prophet of this destiny of mine...

HOLY

Holy Holy the heavens proclaim
The Beauty and the Wonder of
Your precious name
Within the realms of Glory always
to be praised
Angels harmonising over the
amazed
Seated in equal standing at
Father's right hand side
Forever interceding for us to be
reconciled
Worthy Worthy the heavens
declare
None in heaven nor earth could
ever compare
Blessed be the awesomeness that
is all YOU
Heavenly realms splendour
radiating through
King of all days permit others see
The Glory of You emanate within me
Worthy of all Glory heavens angels
sing Holy Holy Holy...

NIGHTMARE

In the dream of a dream
An echo of a scream
Darkness fills the room
Dull and dreary lurks the gloom
A thousand voices occupy
the air
Stealthily concocting up a scare
Unaware of my fate
Beyond the rusted gate
Leaves bustle where I tread
Creaking springs where the
gates inbed
Blood red eyes-a beast of note
Body of a man, head of goat
A sudden turn of events
My entire person agonisingly
torments
Treading lightly upon this demonic
ruled sphere
Unearthing weakness encrusted
in fear
Hatred obtaining status amid
the human race
Pride reigning supreme in this
rot infested place
Cussing and brawling rage
in conflicted dispute
No longer able to think as minds
prefer to compute
Neanderthal like behaviour
engulfing humanity
Foolish notions of a perfect love
complete insanity
Aching to wake from this gruelling
nightmare
As beads of sweat drip from
my hair
Within the shadows of my dream
A beast still lurks vile and mean
Heart pulsating through my skin
I sit straight up petrified yet awake
from dreaming...

A MUMS GUIDE FOR HER BOY

FLYING FREE

STILL OF THE NIGHT

In the still of the night
Everyone sleeps ever so tight
Silence the only echo it would
seem
Lost in limbo between wake and
dream
A small voice-so audible-so real
Calling out from deep within-so
surreal
I had prayed if I do not wake-my
soul for You to take
Is that You Father calling my name
sake
Then I pray open my heart and ears
Quieten the noise inside-still my
fears...

'I hear Your voice resounding
through every part of me
Open my eyes Father what is
it You want me to see
Stay and talk with me-do not
go
Do not leave me in this place
of limbo
I see it-I see Your plan as I get
lost in peaceful sleep
In the still of the night as deep
calls to deep'
You have such big plans for me
Help me remember when I wake
for new will be Your mercy'...

LOVE MARRIAGE AND BABES

As a little girl she dreams of her
big day
A fairytale wedding where everything
happens her way
Quickly the years go by and she's met
her soul mate
Finally the day has come and she has
set the date
Before long she's blessed with babes
her own
Keeping it together until they are grown
Yet something appears to be off the mark
Her marriage seems to have lost that
spark...

As the kids get older, more intense is
the strife
A wider rift between husband and wife
Lost is the fire they once had burning
in their eyes
Living their lives behind secrets and lies
In the interim of love, marriage and babes
they grew further apart
Unlike the plans they had made from the
very start...

Often we look upon the ones we love
Never expressing what we're thinking of
Expecting them to simply know
Assuming works will let it show
A time in space before the here and now
They fell in love with each other somehow
For reasons unknown - you simply
disconnect
Knowing it's now time to reconnect
Time to stand and fight
For the path is wide and it's easy to
lose sight
To come before Christ and once again
remember
The love of two soul mates He had
joined together...

I PURPOSE

LETTING GO

STRONGHOLD

Hijacked by a demonic force
Gaining access via the gateway
of a stronghold expressing no
remorse
Enforcing doubt - clouding my
perception
Puppeteered by the enemies
greatest deception
Blurring my vision unable to see
How God aims to develop me
Stumping my spirit man
Seperating me from God's plan
Captured like a prisoner of war
Desperately seeking an open door
Believing the ongoing lies
Amid futile attempts to break
all ties
Abba Father help me be bold
In tearing down this suffocating
stronghold
Deeply rooted are it's claws
Festering my spiritual sores
On bended knee I implore
With a mighty force unleash me
so I can be free once more...

REJECTION


With rules I am compliant
Yet with authority defiant
My sense of worthlessness
Renders me lost in self centeredness
In my created world of tyranny
Permitting no person control
over me
I meditate on my inferiority
Yet gloat with superiority
In my shyness and timidity
Plagued by doubt and anxiety...

I self depreciate
Still needing one to appreciate
Becoming a loner I've lost
my identity
An over achiever who has given
pride victory
Always seeking affirmation
Yet getting by on self
codemnation
With suicidal tendancies and
being depressed
Afraid of failure I stay surpressed...

On the cross Jesus your rejection
endured
When your cries for help went
unheard
Created in your likeness I am
your creation
Deliver me from the wound that has
fuelled my rejection
Help me to love and accept me
To be who You created me to be
Thank you for the authority as I stand
once again on my feet
I come against the lies for I know
the enemy has already been beat...

A PRAYER


Father hear your people as
they call on Your name
As fear and frustration tire 
them in lifes twisted game
Stagnant in a place of
unforgiveness
Unable to move forward
controlled by bitterness
Look inside their hearts
for only You know
The journey they've travelled
and in which direction to go
Fill them with Your Holy Spirit
in a brand new way
Give them strength to get
through yet another day
Open the eyes of their hearts
Lord
Let them stand strong in the
authority of your mighty sword
You are the same yesterday
today and forever
With broken hearts let them
completely surrender
Deliver those who are drawn
towards death
Fill them with a new purpose for
life upon this earth...

In Jesus Precious Name
Amen...

I KNOW


I know He was crucified nailed
to a tree
I know He died this way so I
can be free
I know the victory is mine
I know He's the Almighty Divine
I know He loves me with all of
His heart
I know from the beginning He
set me apart
I know I must be righteous and
abide by His law
I know in obediance He'll tell me
things I've never known before
I know poverty is all in the mind
I know if I do not repent I will be
left behind
I know His mercy endures forever
I know He is the Alpha and the Omega
I know my body is a vessel and
within it lies my soul
I know the gift of the Holy Spirit is
what keeps my body whole
I know He niether sleeps nor
slumbers
I know He watches over whatever
life for me encumbers...

I know this because I know my Jesus
Help always to walk in obediance...

HOMELESS ONE


Who am I to render myself worthy
Am I not my own worst enemy
The scum from the earth 
Is this not in actual fact my worth
Lost in a being of madness
In a myraid of sadness
Who would care anyway right
Why be bothered with my plight..

I am but a homeless man
With no future - no plan
This was not always me
No longer could I face reality
All the hurt and the pain
Need to wipe it from my brain
Don't want to feel anymore
Deservant to sleep on the cold
cement floor...

So easy to blame society
For what became of me
Indulging in spirits keeps me warm
Cigarettes my friend in this storm
Drugs numbing the senses I don't
have to think
Deeper into my created hell I sink
Before you look upon me and judge
Careful you do not end up in this sludge...

It's been mighty cold these last few days
Many times I've tried to change my ways
I look away but my tears flow freely
I lost them - lost the ones I love you see
Why should I be - I don't deserve to feel
Life without them - this pain is just to real...

But I'm tired and see no way out
Jesus..Jesus..I've heard what you're about
Hear this voice I scream.. take pity on me
Please show this old fool your mercy
As a lay my head on the cold cement floor
I am no longer alone
For this is the night Jesus picked me up
and took me home...

MON PERE MON DIEU/MY FATHER MY GOD


Mon Pere Mon Dieu
My Father My God
Because of You 
I am no longer afraid
Mon Pere Mon Dieu
My Father My God
Because of You
The price has been paid
Merci Mon Pere
Thank you My Father...

Mon Pere Mon Dieu
My Father My God
Because of You
I am no longer alone
Mon Pere Mon Dieu
My Father My God
Because of You
Your love feels like home
Merci Mon Pere
Thank you My Father...

Mon Pere Mon Dieu
My Father My God
Because of You
I am no longer insecure
Mon Pere Mon Dieu
My Father My God
Because of You
I have an anchor a cure
Merci Mon Pere
Thank You My Father...

DEEP WITHIN

Tossing and turning in
nightmarish sweat
Memories of old met 

with regret
Drowning in this raging
sea
Of a heart wrenching
memory
Trapped within my troubled
mind
This moments emotion defined
Groping onto what seems real
Seeking the courage to simply
deal...

Jesus - Jesus I know you're there
Gathering my tears hearing
my prayer
Searching my heart so I can see
The hurt and bitterness that
burdens me
Still I am broken inside
Deep under oceans tide
With panicked strokes gulping
for air
Raise me up from this pit of despair
Filtered to the surface these
sentiments show
It's time to heal - time to let go
You left me you didnt say
goodbye
The brokeness inside still evokes
me to cry
Though in my heart you will always be
I release the anger and I set you free...

MISSING

I had the strangest dream you went
missing without a trace
I was frantically handing out flyer's
featuring a picture of your face
My heart racing in this panicked
frenzy I was going through
Searching everywhere but I
couldn't find you
Sensing an attack overtake, it all
felt so real
Battling to breathe trying to deal
Then suddenly you were there
Sitting on a bench smiling as though
you hadn't a care
I sensed the relief consuming my
being
Then just as quickly I awoke from
my dream
Tears uncontrollably fell from my eyes
As I recall the time I said my final
goodbyes
You're missing from my life and I
think of you everyday
I still picture that look in your eyes
when you were taken away
Void of life as the Lord took your
spirit home
In front of me you died and left
me feeling so alone
Oh how I really, really miss you
In my heart I carry you no matter
where I go no matter what I do...

AS NIGHT FALLS


Dear Diary

A secret I keep all to myself 
Packed away on minds shelf
Oh! I so don't want to say
But I hate living this way
'Not to tell he says' - if I do..
He will hurt my baby sister to
How my skin crawls at his touch
I detest him so very much...

As night falls I just want to rest
my head
Won't be long and he'll be right
beside my bed
Everyone sleeps I can hear mummy
snore
Yikes! Footsteps - he's right outside
my door
My heart beats so fast as he enters
my room
'No daddy - please daddy' as I
prepare for my doom...

'Tell someone' this voice inside me
says
I will tell mummy I know for me
she cares
Oh diary my heart is broken - she
didn't believe me
He's going to be real mad now - he'll
punish me you'll see
As night falls I lay and wait
Finally giving in - accepting my fate...

It's getting so late he's always here
by now
Dear diary I pray Jesus stops him and
steps in somehow
NO NO! I hear footsteps - he's right
outside my door
Jesus take me home - I don't want
to live anymore
I close my eyes as he enters my room
'No daddy - please daddy' as I prepare
for my doom...

'Baby girl' mummy cries as she swoops
me in her arms
'I'm sorry - sorry I didn't believe beyond
his charms'
My heart is elated - my being so complete
For this beast has finally been beat
Thank you Jesus for stepping in and to
you my diary
I no longer fear as night falls - I am
now set free...

S.O.S

 Fill my soul - calm my fears
Heavens rain wash away my tears
Do not leave me do not go away 

Come back Lord come back and stay
Raise me from my pit of despair
My persons in a state of disrepair
Let your glory fall
Father hear my call
I began to lose control
Selling out my very soul
Jesus - Jesus - did you get it
did you get my S.O.S...

Feeling so insecure
Don't want to hurt anymore
Help me stand against the enemies lies
Lest a part of me dies
Permit me to get lost in you
This gateway of hell to journey through
Engrossed in this darkness
Spellbound in hoplessness
In dire need of your rightousness
Jesus - Jesus - did you get it - did
you get my S.O.S...

My souls in trouble deep
Preventing me from sleep
Worry consumes my being
Anxiety wants me fleeing
A sudden change within
A gentle touch upon my skin
You're here - you're here with me
Breaking the chains - setting me free
Jesus - Jesus - You got it - You
got my S.O.S...
