UNCERTAINTY

I come before you Lord void of

joy and wonder

My mind is darkened and my

heart asunder

When you look down upon me

what is it that you see?

This dwarfed mortal amid the

mass of the galaxy

I cannot comprehend the vastness

beyond this earth

Yet you lavish your love in my

self worth

If it is true that before time I was

with you

Then I pray Father help me to 

do all I am expected to do

When I see the happenings about this 

earth that you gaze upon

I am broken at the hate and question

where I belong

Your Magnificence exudes human

expectation Lord

I pray then help me once again feel 

what it is like to be adored

For in this hell - blossom radiates

from the smile of a child

Yet fear reigns in my heart in this

crazy world gone wild

The future of such an innocent being

is daunting

The fear of what tomorrow holds is

haunting

Hold me close Father let me know

you are near

Release in me a hope that overcomes

this never ending fear...

POWER NAP

Drifting through the cracks of
the unhibited

Into a black mass of self
abandonment
Venturing in so deep fear
has taken the lead
Nothingness is all that's left
a sorry sight indeed
Wandering aimlessly into the
vastness
This place where even gravity
is homeless
Feelings of offense unwarranted
yet cutting soo deep
Flashing through my mind every
hurt yet still I sleep
Sleeping - Drifting - through the
cracks into the vastness
A distant sound of my name
being called
Far far away yet I hear my name
being called
A sudden jerk and I'm completely
awake
I closed my eyes but for a second
embracing the break
Realization as to the repercussions
fatigue can birth
Questioning the validity of my
self worth
I gain full composure and take
every thought captive
Acutely aware the deeper I sunk
the outcome massive...

THE CHOICE IS YOURS

Hate is reigning rampage in this
world with little care
The enemy smirks in wonder
he too can just sit and stare
The choice is within us to live and
love with passion
Yet we choose to hate and disregard
our conviction
To stand and fight for what is just
and true
Is to live a Christ like life - that is
what defines YOU!
To build someone up and not
tear them down
Respecting one another and earning
our eternal crown
The enemy's work is little as he
watches us with glee
Playing into his hands by surrendering
our serenity
Hate sets us against each other - Oh
and how it shreds ones heart
Only LOVE can repair the damage of
its counterpart
You have tried it your way and the
end result is doom
Allow Christ entry and ravel in the
mystery as the Holy Ghost fills
the room...

PURPOSE

A tiny spec in a colossal
universe
Yet monumental in a world
so diverse
The branding of ones own
identity
A yearning to be adrift
in serenity
The dawning of ones
purpose
To renew others in Christ
likeness
Others that are too a tiny
spec in a colossal universe
Yet monumental in a world
so diverse...

THE VICTOR

I enter His courts filled

with dread and shame

Oh how my accusers fuel

the flickering flame

Pointing and shouting they

belittle my being

I shut my eyes to the vile

I am seeing

Lifting my head I focus 

ahead

Moving forward ever so

lightly I tread

There He stands in all His

might

Pleading my case He stands

to fight

I repent my sin and the contract

is torn

I exit the courts and a part of

me is reborn

My accusers are many I 

will deal with them all

I am void of fear as I know

my  intercessor stands Strong

and Tall...

Thank You Jesus

In The Midst Of Life's Trials There He Stands

SIMPLICITY

The day is set to begin and there
is so much to get done
Yet here I sit basking in the warmth
of the morning sun
Piercing it's way through gaps and
crevices and such
Making it's presence known by it's
merest touch
I close my eyes taking it all in
Every sound  - every feeling
I hear the birds singing as they fly
about in the morning sky
Dogs in the neighborhood barking
sounding so close by
A precious moment void of hope
nor care
Simply adoring the presence of God
in the morning air
There is a gentle breeze I feel the
tingle upon my skin
Life seems so surreal right now and
I'm ready for the day to begin
Thank you Lord for the beauty in
the simple things
If life is to be lived then I take joy
in all that this moment brings...

HOW AMAZING HOW GREAT

Beautiful rays radiantly beam
through the morning sky
Oh my Lord the beauty of all you
created brings a tear to my eye
How Amazing How Great
thou art
Life is worth living because You
hold the keys to my heart
Your true love that never fails
brings out the best in me
You are worthy Lord - thank you
for allowing me to see
That most amazing moment when
you set me free...

WHAT IS TO BE WILL BE

Surrendering to the frustration of

being overwhelmingly powerless

The force of His will ..will be His

will none the less

What is hope if what is to be..

will be

Where will my trust lie if failure

is all I see

My trust will be in His will none

the less

He will be my hope in the frustration

of overwhelmingly powerlessness

Control is out of my hands and prayer

will have a hand in what is to be

For in my failure He will be the only

choice for me

Because ultimately what is to be 

will be...

THE BATTLE TOO STRONG

Unsuspectingly the enemy impels
you to the ground
As you retrieve your balance
he knocks you back down
Barely able to gasp for air he
belts out another blow
Questioning your faith as your
weakness begins to show
Defeat an option as ire pulses
through your veins
Your vision of release results
in blowing out your brains
No more having to face lifes trials
in this rot infested place
Surrendering to the echos of
iniquity and disgrace
The beating is countless the
recovery too long
Your person depleted and
The Battle Too Strong
Self worth vanishes as loathing
fills your being
Yet through anothers eyes your
value is worth seeing
though the blows are endless
there is a way out
Call on Gods name even if
you have to scream and shout
He will never leave your side
no matter your demise
His Supremity penetrates your
cleverly encrusted disguise
The enemy cannot withstand
the one that is called I AM
His earthly rule temporary for
eternity God is to reign
Father God has you forever
in His sight
Do not give in hold on and
fight fight fight...

REBORN

Immersed in doubt I contemplate
the worth of my existence
Oh! how my imperfections exude
my cowardly insignificance
At every turn ravenous wolves
claim righteous passage
Masters of illusion concealing
their inner savage
Fearing their birthing scorn I burrow
deep within a cocoon of unreality
For but a moment a vision escapes
the confounds of my insanity
Does the butterfly not parade
herself for all to see
Fluttering in the splendor of her
magnificence no matter how short
her life may be
Aware perhaps at the erupting
violence of the world that spurts 
forth molten lava of hate
Engulfing everything in its path of
destruction, embracing its fate
Embarking on a mighty feast of
malicious scorn
Yet beneath its destiny of
smoldering smoke a newness
is born
I am given then to release myself
from the entrapment of my mind
Surfing this birthing wave of truth 
that I have freely  found
Breaking free revealing the hidden
beauty bestowed upon me
Emanating the pureness of Christ's
love and boldly be all He created
me to be...

Psalm 27.1 : The Lord is my light and
my salvation so why should I be afraid.

PERFECTION

Listening to the gushing winds howling
through the hollowed bricks
Watching as the trees wildly sway
falling are their loosened sticks
The crisp air leaves a tingle upon
my skin
Inhaling the freshness thankful for
the world I'm living in
Rain sprinkles gently from the
clouded sky
Oh how Perfect such a morn even
the heavens cry
Life is so beautiful within this
cherished moment
All is in order the elements in
perfect allignment
None can mask the beauty of
supernatural zeal
Within its embodiment Perfection
so surreal
Leaves clap as branches dance
in frenzied delight
There is no hindrance as Father keeps
everything in His sight...

REPENTANCE

I whispered a little prayer this morn

Knowing God would adhere my call

Filtering to the surface unforgiveness 

and scorn

Faltering my growth - depicting my fall

Repentance has brought healing 

allowing me to feel

Forgiven is all malice and hidden deceit

The covenant Christ made has sealed 

the deal

With liberty I walk in boldness avoiding 

targeted defeat.. 

THE LAMB HAS OVERCOME

All is in motion the heavenly realms
set to prepare
As the earth below bustle about
completely unaware
Heaven has come to a standstill
no more joyous praise
Utter silence is given in preperation
for the next phase
For half an hour not a murmur is
is heard
Gods wrath is about to be unleashed
as is written in the word
His anger fiercely intense with the
human race
Those left behind will beseech His
mercy and all assuming grace
The murdering sprees, the hurting
of the innocent will be no more
For every tear that has fallen Fathers
been keeping score
Seven angels stand to attention
awaiting their next instruction
Seven trumpets are given to them
the worst of earths destruction
Another has a censor within the
prayers of ALL saints
He fills it with fire from the altar and
casts them down without restraints
Into the earth, there were voices
lightnings, earthquake and thunder
The trumpet judgements so aweful
angels stand in breathless wonder
From the truth Father I no longer
choose to run
I am forgiven because
The Lamb Has Overcome...

HE ROSE IN VICTORY

Sitting here alone in the
twilight glow
Searching for answers
wanting to know
Why certain folk reign
under satanic rule
For their actions are none
but like that of a sordid fool
With hardened hearts they
down trod the poor
While their greed has them
engulfing more and more
I to have been guilty of hate
for another
Will my punishment then be
the same as the murderer
Is it only repentance that will
save this sinful soul
Then I repent Lord for life
itself is taking its toll
I watch how the ungodly reign
in riches and carnal might
While those without have to
push through and fight
Perhaps selling our souls will
give us temporary reign
Who then can escape death?
no-one! then what do we gain
For eternal life is only with
You Lord
What is it then that the unbeliever
can truly afford
Earthly riches are temporary and
will rot away
One thing for certain is death can
come at any given day
For the unbeliever and the saints
their is no reprieve
I live then in reverend fear and
choose to believe
If there is only one of two places
then heaven is where I want to be
So I say this very day folk do not
harden your hearts and you will see
For you and me He Rose In Victory...

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...

DEATH MANS ROBES

The earth is the enemy's playground

be it known he's sure to play

For him its merely a game he's 
precariously having his way
Oh! how he smiles as death is
given life
His laughter reverberates upon
the battleground of strife
The self chosen ignorant haven't
a clue as the enemy goads
Enticing and teasing as they walk
dressed in Death Mans Robes
Plodding along assuming all is
fine
Subconsciously aware they have
crossed the line
Spiritual doors are opened as
demonic forces filter through
Allowing the enemy reign to do
all he has intended to do
Living in the end times the battle
is more intense
Determined to own more souls before
expunged in his defense
Death is at the forefront guard the
weak with prayer
Stand strong in righteousness lest
you be snared into the enemy's lair
Jesus chose death to bring life
there's no hidden codes
As you are given liberty to choose,
choose life and avoid walking in
Death Mans Robes..

WINDS OF LIBERTY

My heart aches at the anguish
that fills another's being
Coping in this crazy world where
only hate can be seen
The drunk who beats upon his
vulnerable wife
The sick mind who aims to tarnish
a childs life
The bully who preys on the timid
and week
The homeless not knowing what it
is they truly seek
The innocent tortured simply for
the sake of another's pleasure
The lost delving in their own
counterfeit measure
The loss of a loved one through
some sort of disease
Accidents consuming lives with
effortless ease
Corruption in the government followed
by inadequate leadership
With deceived preference to rally
in false worship
So on and so on it goes you hear it
on the news everyday
Making it real hard to keep fear
at bay
At times Dad its difficult to merely
be living
As the depressed mind loses something
to believe in
I pray for courage to look ahead and 
run the race
Never to lose focus until I get to see
Your face
Its all too simple getting lost in the tears
falling from the clouded sky
When you're desperately wishing for
the day to hurry on by
I pray Dad keep me grounded by
making the right choices
To discern the truth against lies 
without echoed voices
My faith is in You prevent this soul
from falling apart
Help me I pray to feel the Son shine
within my heart
I trust in You to fill the crevices of
broken dreams
Weathering the storms of tidewater
streams
Without You I am like that of a dead
star void of gas
Floating about the galaxy within its
darkened mass
Thank You for never leaving my
side
Always walking beside me step by 
step stride for stride
Love and protect all that is so very
dear to me
My Father My God who breathes 
The Winds Of  Liberty...
