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...

DECEPTIVE POWER

Behind the gun he stands
finger on the trigger
Your worth of no value to him
a futile faceless figure
Power exudes from his person
he is in control
Fear consumes you this his
ultimate goal
Staring down the barrel you
cannot see his eyes
He is your worst enemy there
is no disguise
Exploring a little closer his
expression you will see
He's the mirror of the person
you desire to be
On both sides you are behind
the gun and on bended knee
Realization dawns, YOU are your
own worst enemy
For the days seem dark and time
so slow
Your strength depleted as you
ponder on the know
Sexual predators are on the
prowl
Their soul intention mean and
foul
Human trafficking escalates
there is no control
The mere disasters of life is
sure taking its toll
Behind the gun you stand
finger on the trigger
Your enemy of no value just a
worthless figure
Exuding power you aim seeing only
through minds eye
The one who enforces such pain
surely needs to die
Take each thought captive do not
permit the enemy reign
He purposes to break you to
render you insane
Murderous tendencies makes you
no better than him
For even such a thought is as guilty
as committing the sin
In your own strength there is nothing
you can do
Faith is what you need it gives you
strength to pull through
There is no true power in the one
that takes another's life
He is a weak soul and God is sure
to cause him strife...

Eph 4v26027:   Be angry and yet do no sin, do not let the sun go down on your anger
                         and do not give the devil an opportunity.

SANCTUARY

Going through the motion
in a world so tough
Pushing through the barriers
until you've had enough
Seeking for that place where
you could simply be
A safe haven from life your
very own Sanctuary
Perhaps you may find it amid
an array of flowers
Perhaps in a place where you're
not counting the hours
Where ever it may be allow
yourself to heal
Take the time to pray on bended
knee to kneel
For every person needs a place
their very own
A place simply to be alone
Collect your thoughts and lay
them before the cross
Jesus can refill your love tank
He is the ultimate Boss
Only in this world so tough
will you know defeat
Yet enfolded in His grace and love
will you ultimately be complete...
