Sometimes I feel like the world is an unlit candle, watching my lighter’s drama. I was taught the word is light, I guess grade school didn’t teach us to speak in brighter grammar Cos these twilight thoughts often leave my tongue twisted.
Who ever said talk is cheap, never valued the tongue he was gifted. Still, light has never met a darkness it could not chase.
And even when words are too heavy for lips to lift, I can still hum amazing Grace. Until I can flip my can’ts to can dos. Until I can speak Sparks to these candles.
We don’t want to bother God Says man made of mud So we bottle up what we ought not Leaving our mind in knots You receive not for you ask not What to pray about you say? All things my brother, so you don’t become a prey Everything my sister, on every blessed day So Unfriend anxiety Cast away its ray Put on Christ’s piety And your armor of faith Whatever it is Grand or small Possible, impossible Serious or minor Pray about them all Yes! In all things by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving… So go on your knees Lift up those hands Put your hands together Lie flat on your tummy Stand on your feet Sit on the floor Whichever position you choose, just shut out the noise Surrender all Cast it to God Receive His rod Believe it’s done Make a loud noise Wait till it comes
Amazing is the grace That has raised you from the grave Granting access by the body broken Of the one who only could have endured being broken That you would be pieced together And by the blood Of the one who could spend it Just so you’re bought back.
Amazing is the grace that has called you amazing And has made to shine, your face Amidst a world that darkness strive to thrive You, Grace has lifted and called light
Amazing is the grace That will not let you fall It will lift you up your face High above the gloom And cause you to behold the looming rainbow It’ll whisper might to your heart And endow your night with a starry glow
Amazing is the grace That has called you Even more amazing is the one Who has given this grace graciously He has called you His beloved And can’t bear to see you lost.
Lift up your voices oh ye earth and let the sound of your praises reach the heavens Sing like birds on a bright sunny morning and let the wonders of God be known to all. Raise instruments in worship Beat the heavy drums and play the flutes, let them testify to the King of kings.
Let your voices rise to the roof tops, overpowering even the strongest of walls, let the earth be shaken by the sound of rejoicing to our God. Sing, with all your might. Shout, with all your heart and let all hell quiver with fear of our testimonies.
Even if the sunken sun Tucks in the radiance Of your Glory I will worship
And if the birds Sheds of their feathers And start writing letters To petition the coverage Of your Love….I will worship
Though the mountains May mount up their shoulders Like platoons of soldiers To fight the greatness Of your might I will still worship
Let the waters Overflow it borders And join forces with its brothers To alter the Altar Of their father I will worship
In the tininess of my voice In the thinness of my cords With the deafness of my breath From the creeks To the street From battle to castle
I will always Lift up my eyes Bring down my knees to your heels Stretch out my hands like the sand And bow in awe for you My all belongs to you
And I will not be silent Rather be violent Serving in your presence Because my life without Your essence Is a sentence without sense NONSENSE !
Let men cook up theories of Evolution I will stir up an army of Revolution That will invade Nations With a resolution That you are the God of all creations
I will not stop to give my Worship To your Lordship Because if I was not caught In your courtship I will have been a lost sheep Buried in the belly of hardship
Beyond the measure Of magnitude, Amplitude, latitude and Altitude I will worship
Listen Your heart beats a melody Listen The world rejoices in novelty Listen You are here by another’s will Listen The Word is how you navigate this Listen
You must be thirsty. What drink would you love? Water of life is always a great choice! We live in the feelings of these little choices. Live by choice.
Leave by choice Regrets and bitterness in past 31 Lift by choice Your spirits heights above where Jews lie Leafy choices Can be lost in this wind so hold tight Newness is your guest today Make the best of it
Dance! When you can and can’t You deserve presence, Gift yourself the present of you Now is a good time to live. So dance, teach time to Breathe, see, listen and feel Make it wait on you.
Let your hair down Breathe You’ve come this far See This is not destination Listen But home is where you are Feel The moon takes us through another 31 Live
Begin by breath. One. Two. Exhale the stress, excess, excuses. Inhale the miracle of your heart beating hard.
The journey of a thousand miles One step The expectation of many lives One thought This is reset if you don’t clone it Welcome to another opportunity Crown it
Continue by Sight. Lashes up and it’s a new day! We are always at the start of things And it’s okay.
And now that I have you here, Can you hear? Can we sit and lock hearts? Rest a while on my chest I will do same. We are simply different patterns from a cloth. Our roads have led us here. Let’s celebrate this beautiful silence.
Christ a poet
