For Broken Hearts.

I want to come into a season of brand new,
Where the pain of your absence isn't present or true.
You have moved on now, along with your life,
Long gone are the days when I played the role of a person in strife.
The memories of us are stained all over this town,
Visions of us appear and I cant help but frown.
Not because I miss everything we once were,
Mostly because instead of choosing me, you chose her.
I feel the hatred that radiates from your heart,
You made your point clear with how you chose to part.
Sometimes I see old friends that knew us as one,
They can't believe the us is over and done.
Change is good but I have had my fair share,
But I know now that staying with you was a snare.
The pride and the lies consumed who you are,
And now you have wandered from home so far.
It breaks my heart to see who you have become,
Tears fill my eyes and the pain beats like a drum.
But the pain of being alone is far less,
Than staying with you so chaotic in your mess.
Without the Lord above watching over me,
I wouldn't be free to just explore who I want to be.
So I walk with a limp of a scar that lies,
In a part of my soul that tries.
To love with all I am because that is the way,
God made me to accept the fray.
I have hope of a better life ahead,
Truly you are walking into the land of nothing but dead.
Sorrow today is a temporary feeling,
My life no longer has a ceiling.
I wont stop until I reach my dream,
At that time I will happily scream.
Freedom has come from Jesus so capable,
Yes, you can believe it, my God is able.

I Once Was Lost.

No words come forth as I sit and write,
My heart weighs heavy and my thoughts seem trite.
Ive lost the spark that once burned so bright,
I feel defeated with no strength to fight.
I walk alone and feel out of place,
Why cant I just be secure in his grace?
Im not happy that I have lost it all,
In desperation on the ground I crawl.
I let the agony and the fear spread,
My face says I am alive but I feel dead.
At my core I know it will never be,
So my thoughts race and the good memories flee.
I cant fake it any longer that I am okay,
When I barely have the strength to get through the day.
Im not going to end this with cheer,
I just hope that despair wont come near.
God, protect me from the prison of sorrow,
Get me through another tomorrow.

Reverance.

There you sit in your chair waiting for your moment to arrive,
When your heart fills and for the answer you dont have th strive.
Understanding floods your mind and you finally understand,
The magnitude of what Jesus did on the cross, so grand.
Something you simply can never repay or achieve,
For the time its your sin that makes you grieve.
It only seems natural to get on your knee,
And before God almighty make your plea.
To turn from your old self who is now dead and gone,
And from this moment forward always bow your head with hands drawn.
In reverence to the mighty King who saved the world,
Who now has made you whole and full of health.
This isn't something you can simply force on a person,
The Holy Spirit must reveal himself and immerse him,
So rise from your seat where you once sat in darkness so grim,
Embrace your creator and come into the light,
Where life isn't always sure but heaven is home,
Come child, with me you will forever roam.

Intersection

The journey of a man is revealed in due time,
Which way he will go and how he will know.
Longings that dwell in the center of the heart,
The idea of not walking down it is devastating and he cant part.
Dreams come forth like hidden friends from the dark,
One day a person wakes up and knows which way to head,   
He cant stop pursuing it, for if it be so his soul would be dead.
Why waste a life that so evidently needs to wander,
Of life, death and purpose it surely does ponder.
There isn't a wrong way, just the long way about,
The tendrils of fear take root and sprout doubt.
But from a tree that is well nourished,
Come fruit that is beautiful to the eye and the tongue,
Nothing tasted so sweet as a labor flourished.
A failed and false attempt at living is like poison to the lung.
Dance to the beat of the webs of existence colliding,
Connect with humanity or you will surely be diving.
Up I walk upon my moment so bold and true,
Hello happy trail, I didn't know this look would be you.

They Just Got Lost...

From the darkness their souls cry out,
Their sin consumes them and against the light they shout.
I walk into their midst ready to fight for them,
Knowing that the enemy cannot have the win.
As the truth comes forth from the Holy Spirit so loud,
The lies and condemnation are revealed in the proud.
A great and mighty King draws his sword to sever the dead,
Jesus reveals his nature and he brings peace to their head.
Trembling and fear shiver through the body,
Their arrogance is rearing and they laugh so haughty.
The Father wont rest until every heart is won,
Until they turn away from this, the evil is not done.
Dread and regret weigh heavy for them now,
When they see just how,
Amazing and loving this God who came to save,
And venture into hell so he rescued a wretch like me, so brave.
The kingdom will be filled with former creatures from the pits so deep,
On the promises of God my mind will constantly keep.
Giving over my life because I use to be one of those,
But now I walk free because I am the one that Jesus himself chose.

Promise Circles.

Jars of joy collected and shelved in the library of my soul,
For a sadder day when my heart might have a hole.
The happiness may leak out but that is alright,
Having a backup of God memories eases my fright.
A ring on my finger reminds me I am loved here,
It chases away the lurking shadow of fear.
I wont live alone or die that way either,
Because with God around my reality is neither.
I'm cherished and special to a man I don't know,
Until then for him I will grow and walk slow.
I let the visions of us linger in my mind,
And how he will be such a different kind.
Walking through the lovely field with flowers all about,
Seeing the smile on his face erases all my doubt.
In an instant he steals a sweet kiss,
And I know that in that moment and space in time it is something I will forever miss.
Instant replays of my life are large in stock,
Alas my love, you stand now at my door and knock.
And now I see why they say the circle never has an end...

For EN....

Out of the depths of sin this man has arisen,
He is now set free from his former self prison.
There is more than what meets the eye,
Of the journey he has walked through I cannot lie.
Satan had a plan to make this son his own,
But God almighty had a plan from his mighty throne.
Jesus came to walk beside him when all seemed lost,
And took his sin so he wouldn't have to pay the cost.
Because of the magnitude of grace shown by the King,
This child who was once a slave of darkness now lets God's glory ring.
To give your life back to the one who made it be,
Is something so divine, like Christ amongst that tree.
You once were so alone and hope seemed to be gone for all time,
But now you stand redeemed and reside in your prime.
Never underestimate the power of God above,
Sometimes what we need in life is a loving shove.
I'm so glad he saved my dear friend,
And the gap between heaven and earth are forever on the mend,
Oh what sweet grace that our savior didn't have to lend.

For JT...

Jesus today I thank you for a special man,
For which you had a divine and redeeming plan.
You reached down from heaven above,
And tore the blinders off his eyes to reveal your love.
He didnt see it coming so he didnt have time to fear,
All he could do was run toward you and draw near.
The all consuming redemption of the blood you shed,
This man now understands that without you he is dead.
From the ashes his life has emerged new,
His mind is open and he proclaims you are true.
Everyday he lays down his life for you his king,
He is free from sin and death and a new song he does sing.
No shame or guilt he has to carry any longer,
The Holy Spirit is alive in him and he grows stronger.
Looking back at the darkness he once dwelled within,
Gives him hope for the life he now lives freed from sin.
He continues now on his journey towards his savior,
There is so much that has changed about this man besides his behavior.
The spirit of God lives within him so deep,
Nothing but love and grace he will forever reap.
I hope you get to meet him,
Your chances of leaving unchanged is very slim.

His Time Came.

There is a hole in our family that cannot be undone,
Its as though we all watched and tried to stop the ever setting sun.
There has never been a time or place that hasn't felt a certain loss,
It resonates with mankind, that perfect man who died on a wooden cross.
Age to age we all may live in different worlds than those before,
But it doesn't change the fact that humanity will always beg for more.
Reality tells us that we all wont be here long,
Although we write a tune to sing and it is our forever song.
To be a part of this puzzle is amazing yet so humble,
From now on I will be thankful for the life I have and not grumble.
Eyes on eternity, flesh bowed before,
I can't wait for what heaven has in store.

At My End.

My dear Lord I don't know what to do,
I'm torn between the comfortable old and the burning desire for something new.
Give me a purpose that makes me feel more alive,
Something I can pour myself into and further strive.
I'm here being held by your grace,
My heart aches with desire to leave this place.
Everything I knew no longer exists,
I'm done resisting and shaking my fists.
Take my hand, I don't think I can go alone,
I feel like a child even though I am full grown.
Make me into the woman you have crafted me to be,
Release my shame and guilt, please set me free.
I will wait patiently for your word,
Until then I will not move any longer forward.
You me and the Holy Spirit make a triple braided cord.
