Plea
my eyes can see more
than any bird in the air
don't turn against me
please turn toward me
and the wind shall cross your face
you shall be refreshed
you turn against me
the wind shall not cross your face
my wrath shall be felt
please turn toward me
and avoid the summer heat
the lake of fire burns
please turn toward me
the lake of fire is my wrath
my one final plea
than any bird in the air
don't turn against me
please turn toward me
and the wind shall cross your face
you shall be refreshed
you turn against me
the wind shall not cross your face
my wrath shall be felt
please turn toward me
and avoid the summer heat
the lake of fire burns
please turn toward me
the lake of fire is my wrath
my one final plea

A Price
sweet taste of honey
comes with a price to be paid
a honeybee sting
comes with a price to be paid
a honeybee sting

Stand
who am I to stand
before the LORD Almighty
I am not worthy
fear overtakes me
my trembling knees give way
my eyes face downward
tears begin falling
at the pierced feet of Jesus
his presence comforts
he calls out to me
my child you are forgiven
remember the cross
I rise from my knees
his love for me is enough
to stand before him
before the LORD Almighty
I am not worthy
fear overtakes me
my trembling knees give way
my eyes face downward
tears begin falling
at the pierced feet of Jesus
his presence comforts
he calls out to me
my child you are forgiven
remember the cross
I rise from my knees
his love for me is enough
to stand before him

the sun has risen for years

Endure
you can't be tempted
beyond your ability
look to escape
faithfulness of God
provides the way of escape
endure temptations

The Seducer
her door lays open
sensual pleasures await
all who look her way
all desires fulfilled
the voice of darkness whispers
come experience
colors of the night
shades of colors fade away
deeper the heart goes
dark grays turn pitch black
infernal regions await
with the seducer
all who look her way
eternal torture awaits
the opened door locked
sensual pleasures await
all who look her way
all desires fulfilled
the voice of darkness whispers
come experience
colors of the night
shades of colors fade away
deeper the heart goes
dark grays turn pitch black
infernal regions await
with the seducer
all who look her way
eternal torture awaits
the opened door locked

Stained Glass
mirror's reflection
of her desired life reveals
tear stained shattered glass
scattered light reflects
deep within the shattered glass
a candle light's flame
of her desired life reveals
tear stained shattered glass
scattered light reflects
deep within the shattered glass
a candle light's flame

Everlasting Love
distance lays between
our love is everlasting
near and far away
the feel of your touch
is thought of hour after hour
whispered words desired
patience shall pay off
time shall shorten our distance
everlasting love
distance withdrawn
your caressing touches felt
whispered words received
caressing touches
whispered words of affection
everlasting love
our love is everlasting
near and far away
the feel of your touch
is thought of hour after hour
whispered words desired
patience shall pay off
time shall shorten our distance
everlasting love
distance withdrawn
your caressing touches felt
whispered words received
caressing touches
whispered words of affection
everlasting love

Left Behind
tears of sorrow fall
and they flood the broken heart
of the one left behind
It can't be helped
as the one looks upon the silent face
laying down for the final time
may the one left behind
look upon the one who holds time
within his hands
for time passing by
shall never heal one's broken heart
only he who holds time within his hands
shall comfort one's broken heart
and they flood the broken heart
of the one left behind
It can't be helped
as the one looks upon the silent face
laying down for the final time
may the one left behind
look upon the one who holds time
within his hands
for time passing by
shall never heal one's broken heart
only he who holds time within his hands
shall comfort one's broken heart

No Boundaries
no love boundaries
waters cannot separate
an undying love
on a bended knee I fall
for the one that is to be

A Know It All
a know it all speaks
he who claims to know all things
knows nothing at all
for whose eyes have seen
all things hidden from their sight
not a living soul
he who claims to know all things
knows nothing at all

The End
those whose backs are turned
face toward a winding path
eyes can't see the end
those who have turned back
face toward a straightened path
eyes can see the end
face toward a winding path
eyes can't see the end
those who have turned back
face toward a straightened path
eyes can see the end
