Obey
You can't choose, when your chosen
You must walk in the order of Melchizedek
When the questions end
The answers will begin-Speak
The words given
Even in doubt
Utter help thy unbelief
Even if you stutter
or choose to write
You must let them out
For words are life
Or death
Sometimes in-between
But behind them are power
Somethings you are not meant to understand
Just obey
Because you can't choose, when your chosen
You must walk in the order of Melchizedek
When the questions end
The answers will begin-Speak
The words given
Even in doubt
Utter help thy unbelief
Even if you stutter
or choose to write
You must let them out
For words are life
Or death
Sometimes in-between
But behind them are power
Somethings you are not meant to understand
Just obey
Because you can't choose, when your chosen

A song bird
I sing a beautiful whisper of a tune so true but unheard
It hides behind every demeaning word spoken
Which tore my worship open
But silenced it simultaneously
It hides behind every demeaning word spoken
Which tore my worship open
But silenced it simultaneously

The wounded Soldier still fighting the war that is over
I lay this fight at His feet, far too weak.
Surrendering all, gonna lay under His wings.
Rest in protection
I've been fighting a fight
He already won.
Fighting when I should have been,
calling on His name.
Foolishly thinking I could accomplish,
anything in my strength
Woe to me, my prideful fist
Waging a war I couldn't possible win
For the battle is not mine.
Silly me, forever relearning lesson of wisdom already taught
Thinking I've mastered but still being schooled
Fooled myself into thinking I could stand
When I should have been...
Surrendering all, gonna lay under His wings.
Rest in protection
I've been fighting a fight
He already won.
Fighting when I should have been,
calling on His name.
Foolishly thinking I could accomplish,
anything in my strength
Woe to me, my prideful fist
Waging a war I couldn't possible win
For the battle is not mine.
Silly me, forever relearning lesson of wisdom already taught
Thinking I've mastered but still being schooled

Choose wisely
In the words of Bob;
There's a natural mystic blowing through the air;
If you listen carefully now you will hear.
This could be the first trumpet, might as well be the last:
Many more will have to suffer,
Many more will have to die -
If we have ears, can we hear?
If we have eyes, can we see?
Everything in the Spirit realm
is escalating...
The time has come, we can no longer ride the fence
It's either black or white
Grey no longer exist
Do not be deceived
Tangled up in the web of deception
Or mindfully blind
...

Tribulation
Unmeasurable capacity
Powerfully weak
Dimming bright light
Weary of the fight
But standing firm
Hands up
in surrender
But fist tightly
gripped
Walking blindly
forward
With both eyes open
while tears are
flowing
Powerfully weak
Dimming bright light
Weary of the fight
But standing firm
Hands up
in surrender
But fist tightly
gripped
Walking blindly
forward
With both eyes open

The reflection of what was meant to break you
The life this heart has lived
It seems, distant
Far away memories
Long somewhat forgotten tears
Indifference
Self imposed apathy
But every now & again
my eyes twinkle
With a wisdom that can only
come from
The life this heart has lived
And, in the end
I suppose
I am thankful
I am me
I couldn't articulate
the depth of this
even if I tired
But there's something
in a persons eyes
When they are survivors
Fighters
When you become a warrior

Fire
This heart is on fire
Purged from unhealthy desire
Pure in thought
Lost but found
No longer on shaky ground
Upon the rock I stand
With freedom in my hands
No plot of man
No scheme
Will change
This destiny
This heart is blazing
It will not go out
Fanning the flames
with the faith of a child
Purged from unhealthy desire
Pure in thought
Lost but found
No longer on shaky ground
Upon the rock I stand
With freedom in my hands
No plot of man
No scheme
Will change
This destiny
This heart is blazing
It will not go out
Fanning the flames
with the faith of a child

The condition of our hearts
The heart is mentioned 743 times-
in the bible
So, I'm guessing it is pretty important-
to God
Lips can speak one thing-
but the heart be full of another
Words are deceitful
Often hiding evil
But the eyes usually scream-
what is inside the heart
Pretending people
Hidden buried hurt
More often hate
But always pain
Will remain
It is imperative to healing
To place all of your heart in front of God
He sees through any illusion
So running
Is only a self made delusion
He sees YOU
The light never sleeps
Wide...

Release
Chipping away the walls
I built
Releasing guilt
Of moments unchangeable
Opening
Awaking
Beginning
Renewing
Growing
An open clean pure heart
The one I had from the start
That became harden
Harden from pain
The one day I pray would disappear
That defining moment
When who I was-was forever altered
But I am new
Changed
A new creation
All things old are no more
I can no longer hold this
Today I forgive

Hidden
Always underestimated, But I suppose- I play a part
Too smart- To place- all the cards- on the table
Although able- To discern
I sit back to learn
What you really think of me
My thoughts deeper than the sea
But I keep them hidden
Unwritten
But listen between the lines
Of my rhymes
You may find me
Too smart- To place- all the cards- on the table
Although able- To discern
I sit back to learn
What you really think of me

Freedom of the lucky ones
I can hear the clinging sound
of chains hitting the ground
Wounds once bound around my heart
Part- It's a new start
It's kinda like your art
A piece of creation
Created by pain
Crafted by hardships
But there's nothing
more beautiful than the sun shining
After the storm has passed
There is something about a soul
that refuses to become cold
That holds to hope in grey skies
That gleam of a smile after the eyes have cried
Because the truth is that
only the beautiful know suffering
If you'd never tasted...

Providence
These poems write themselves
I pity the souls upon the shelves
Who strive for words
Words without wisdom
Can't you just hear them?
Babble - Fables
That itchy ears welcome
That evil tongues spew
Having a clue
But not a care
Rare are the tongues that speak rightly
Upright
Displaying light
Instead of hidden darkness
But there's nothing that won't be seen
Brought to the light
Discernment
Discern the spirits
Test them ...
