Soul Fight
I will not fall down
I will not fall back
I will stand my ground
For the next attack
The devil is armed
With misery and grief
I look to the LORD
For my relief
As the devil pounds
At the door of my soul
Almighty GOD
Will keep me whole

Just Thinking
Deep in thought
my minds adrift
Like a bending river flowing
These contemplation's
They come and go
I know not where They're going
They have no beginning
They have no end
They just seem to be
In my head
While I lay in bed
Such a mystery to me
I don't know when It happened
I finally fell asleep
I wake refreshed and happy
After my journey through the deep

Endless Spring
My faith is rising
From the depth of my soul
It comforts me
And makes me whole
It trickles through
The cracks of my heart
Through every crevice
And every part
When I feel weary
When I feel weak
That is when
The gospel speaks
Angels in heaven
Loudly sing
As i am cleansed
By the Endless spring

Love Storm
Raindrops down the window pane
Sound of thunder fills the air
A storm of confusion in my head
My heart is in despair
Wind is howling the rain is heavy
On and on it rages
My soul to you was an open book
You tore out all the pages

Love Season
A beautiful life
Cannot be bought
Although
Fame and fortune
Is often sought
As humans we share
As humans we bare
Triumphs, tragedies
And despair
For at this time
We need not a reason
To love one another
In the glorious

Open Letter to A Girl
My body reacts as you come into view
My brain scrambles at the thought of you
I love your hair and the way that you walk
My tongue gets so tied I can’t even talk
We share no words or a single greeting
You pass me by, the moments are fleeting
You don’t know my name or even how I look
But I learned more from you then any book
For I went to that spot for several days in a row
The days turned to months and you never did show
I learned to act upon my hearts desires
To seize every moment before it expires
...

Missionaries Prayer
O Lord how I love thee
For I cannot count the ways
Please keep me in your counsel
All the rest of my days
Many miles do I travel
Many people do I speak
For those who do not know you
Help me to bless the ones that seek
Your word is like a river
With a never ending flow
Your love is my comfort
With a never ending glow
When my work makes me weary
Help me to believe
When I walk the straight and narrow
Your blessings I receive
Although I miss my family
And the city...
For I cannot count the ways
Please keep me in your counsel
All the rest of my days
Many miles do I travel
Many people do I speak

Help me to bless the ones that seek
Your word is like a river
With a never ending flow
Your love is my comfort
With a never ending glow
When my work makes me weary
Help me to believe
When I walk the straight and narrow
Your blessings I receive
Although I miss my family
And the city...

My Journey
Lest I stumble, lest I fall
Let me beseech thee and answer thy call
From the lowest Valley to the highest peak
True salvation I do seek
May my faults not be fatal
Let your strength shine through
In my darkest hour LORD
Let me find you

My Mother
You Carried me through labor
You Endured my birth
Giving me life
You brought me to this earth
From your bosom
You gave me milk
I remember the hands
That felt like silk
You dressed me, you fed me
You combed my hair
Through the tantrums and crying
You were always there
In this world, there is no other
There is no one like MY MOTHER

Deja Vu
When hope is exhausting
All you feel is despair
The sand in the hourglass
Has turned to thin air
Your concept of time
Gets lost in a rhyme
Your questions have no answers
Your answers don’t make sense
You already know the story
Without a hint of suspense
You have been here before
Perhaps in a dream
It's a place called Deja vu

Inspite
I wish i may
I wish i might
I wish i may in spite
In spite of my troubles
In spite of my past
In spite of the addiction
That seems to last
I am on a journey
To climb a mountain
Seeking change and glory
From the knowledge fountain
long nights and tired days
Working hard in many ways
Ups and downs
may come and go
What's in your heart
will surely show
Now my victory is within reach
To countless others i will teach
In spite of the pain and misery

A True Victory
Take something that caused you woe
Use it to sow
The seeds that help you grow
Then you can be glad
For the wisdom you had
To see the need
For such a harvest
