To be heard
To have someone To release a torrent to Seems to be the remedy Of my ever wandering heart.
An anchor to cease my anger A sail to capture my evils And store ‘em all.
To have the waves refresh the hull And make the inside of me shine By the light breaking through The cracking barriers of my soul
Being Ready
Am I?
I want to say I am But everything I see in front of me The reflection I see of me Says differently.
I wish to be ready But I need more time The watch doesn’t slow Says sadly to keep moving
My heart seems to pound At each thought And each moment I look my reflection And I am horrified.
How deranged I am. And yet, it is He who loved me. No matter what state I was in. And He showed me...
All I Can Say - DC*B
Lord I’m tired So tired from walking And Lord I’m so alone And Lord the dark Is creeping in Creeping up To swallow me
I think I’ll stop Rest here a while
And didn’t You see me cry’n? And didn’t You hear me call Your name? Wasn’t it You I gave my heart to? I wish You’d remember Where you sat it down
Chorus:
And this is all that I can say right now...
Frustrating
…when you talk with someone and they start criticizing people. When you try to point that out, they attempt to shut you down. They defend themselves with their pride. They justify themselves. Christian people who should have no pride defend themselves instead of looking at what may have been said! Then YOU began to criticize them in their face…then I realize I’m just the same and...
I Make My Life a Music Video
I put on my headphones Drown out the world And listen to the song I walk to its beat And make motions Corresponding to its speech
If it is an interlude, I begin to walk If it is words, I stop and speak As if I’m in a music video
That’s how I cope.
"The church is the hospital for the soul." - St....
I remember thinking what that means. I remember walking some nights ago discussing this very thing. I have been blessed with seeing greatness in our church, been blessed in seeing the Gospel in action. But the more I think about it on this night, the more I think our church is in need of more doctors and nurses. I think our church has enough receptionists to keep us waiting. I think we have enough...
Sophomore Trip
November’s leaves That cover the road And it’s the same scene As I float down
How awesome is creation One has to only see this road that I see Orchestras could not convey Words could not recreate this beauty What poet can explain What author can write To describe what I see
I just want you all to see Why won’t you let me show I’ll spend whatever Do whatever to bring you...
if roaring like a lion was something
Then perhaps our very words are nothing more than silence. Because our God roars like a lion and comes forth in shining light He’s the reason why our love explodes, reaches beyond The depths of our sin and our hate
He’s the light that opens forth the light And makes our deaf ears hear And our mute lips speak
Could we roar on our own Were it not for God’s megaphone?
But it...
Maddening
Inspired by: http://www.sdcrimestoppers.com/unsolvedcases.html
When you realize every second, every minute, every hour you spend living your life,
Someone is shot, robbed, raped, assaulted, insulted, broken by another.
And they tell you the probability that it won’t be your friend is large, that this is far and between.
A human is not a number. A human is a life. A life that infects...
"Like a Lion" - DC*B
“Let love explode and bring the dead to life A love so bold To bring a revolution somehow”
—-
“My faith is dead I need a resurrection somehow
Now I’m lost in Your freedom This world I’ll overcome
My God’s not dead He’s surely alive He’s living on the inside Roaring like a lion”
If I could sing, I would surely sing But in the...
All I Can Say
Adding one by one Creating streams From lakes All I can say Takes a word at a time
Second by second Silence takes place When words drift away But still the message remains All I can say
Orchestras crescendo Bring life colors To letters and sisters To whom all I can say To exhale and say…
But see thy eyes shine To bring thy life mine What words may I say to thee When all I can say is...
Writing's Relief
I arose today To the sound of rain And found my life vain Maybe to think Wasn’t fit for me
I walk in And see the people See their lives Hidden away
I do the same Think much of me Less of them
I wished I hoped to think
I listened.
To have someone to talk
Not just to talk but to learn Not just to laugh but smile from understanding Not just to pass time but wish for more time
Just to talk about things that makes life worth living And to think so much that even a walk wouldn’t do.
I’m glad God sent a person like that yesterday. I walked a mile or so and even then, thirty minutes seemed insufficient To tell of all that’s in each...
Beautiful
If I could tell you how beautiful you are
Will you believe me?
If I could tell you how you changed my life
Will you trust me?
Could I cry out to you how wonderful you are
And how God is good because I know you
Will you still be my friend?
I am afraid to say
Because there seems this delicate balance
To pour my heart to you
But I’m afraid of letting myself go
And taking you away...
Council Love
I have learned more from the council retreat than I have in the many weeks I have been at church. Is that strange? Was this the link I sought? I see our church struggling to welcome new people; we’re so afraid, but at council retreat, I played Bang! with people I didn’t know and I came to love. I had thirty second conversations with people and I am left with a great impression about...
it's as if I'm waiting.
And so it came to be a wonderful sunrise When I heard the person come at last To cure my blindness and bring me out again For when that darkness failed, so did my hope But the person became dawn to my saddening dark I wanted to cry out and say, “Hallelujah” That at last my torment is no more That at last I shall weep no more That, for awhile, my paths are straight and clear What a...
