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...
