THE DEMON WITHIN

So many different denominations, so
many different religions
Each with their own DNA exerting
their own personal visions
The one desperately attempting to
convert the other
Self righteousness permitted
sovereigncy without a bother
Religious motives empowering
political rule
As each leader spits out slander
in some verbal dual
The people unsure of their future
allowing fear reign
Amid their own inner struggles and
personal pain
Reasoning and goals fall deeper into
a clouded mist
With broken boundaries they do not
live they merely exist
'For The People' our misguided
leaders shout out from atop
Yet they exude personal gain, when
then does it all stop!
When we die? when we choose a
different religion?
Or when we give our all and stop
fighting 'The Demon Within'
We are the prophets of our own
destiny
Only we can make the changes that
need be
Removing ourselves from emotional
bondage
Knowing the truth so there's not that
much to salvage
With renewed hunger we need to strive
with empowered energy
Empassioned in the freedom that Jesus
gave to you and me
Prayer is the answer its the only solution
The answer to impoverished confusion
Simply remember that for everything
there is a season
Only our true living God is empowered
to demolish The Demon Within...

A NEW SONG

My fingers move with graceful
ease
As I run them along the ebony
keys
Allowing the Holy Spirit to
have his way
I worship You Father for I am
blessed today
I woke to face a brand new
morn
Within my heart A New Song
is born
An unfamiliar sound reverberates
as the lyrics freely flow
Echoing perfectly to the melody
I'm playing on the piano
Forgotten for a time all the
happenings on this earth
As I glorify in Your presence and
emanate Your worth
The world has gone crazy and lives
are lost in vain
Fear is at the forefront as loved ones
mourn their slain
Yet amid the chaos You bestow upon
me Your grace
Giving refuge to this foolish soul
in Your Holy Place
I lift Your name Father higher and
higher
As the Holy Fire ignites a burning
desire
I sing out loud Father I sing out
strong
The birthing of A Brand New
Song...

A GRANDMOTHERS PRAYER

Letting out a heartfelt sigh the
day is finally over
Gentle snores echo as my loved
ones sweetly slumber
Planting butterfly kisses on
precious little foreheads
I watch as they sleep snuggled
up comfy in their beds
Within minds eye beautiful faces
rest so peacefully
Planting phantom kisses to those
that no longer live with me
Gulping down a sob unable to
control the tears
Silently I weep dread has fuelled
my sudden fears
In the news today a mum has
lost her little boy
As I dwell on her pain I am instantly
void of all joy
For just the mere thought of such
a loss I simply do not know
Death is so final I wouldn't have
the heart to let go
Jesus be with that mum the pain
must be so hard to bare
She sure needs You in her midst
let her feel You near
I am so thankful for all that You
have to give
Permit me not delve in fear let me
not be afraid to live
As I now look upon the man You
have given me
Half a smile lingering he looks so
young and free
Etched around the corners of his
eyes, worrisome lines
Yet so peaceful he sleeps gone is
the days stress and grimes
Thank you Dad for all that is
mine
Help me enjoy every moment for
so short is the time
I'm overflowing with love I could
simply cry
Allow the overflow to spill onto my
enemies so they'll know you're nearby
Let my frustrations not get the best
of me
Lest the blessings bestowed I do
not see
Father thank you for life for health
for wholesomess
Make Your face to shine upon my
loved ones help us walk in
righteousness
The world may be in turmoil yet
right now all I see
Is the blessing of my family and
that means the world to me...
