Tired

Eyes ablaze, there,
Like a furnace on my face, where
Assurance is a pace,
Sometimes too fact to chase,
My mind loses the taste,
To continue on chaste,
Lose all that I'd gained,
Now consumed in self-hate

And I, slip along the path,
Fall awaiting His wrath,
Caught by grace, leaning on His Staff,
I can only laugh,
How I deserve to be like the chaff,
And yet I've been dipped in Salve,
Dead and Restored in the Holy bath,
No longer only a human-half,
Into the Vine I was graft,
The King whose made life his craft,
He's the only hope I have.

Praise the King, Lord God of Israel and all of Heaven's Armies.

face

I can be,
Half the time waster,
Never on time, later,
Tell you you're mine, traitor,
Statement of faith, hater,

Walk the hall faster,
Tell you you're wrong, pastor,
Selfish vision-caster,
Pion pretending he's master,
All your hopes slasher,
Emotional stock crasher,

Think you're brash, I'm brasher,
Think you're rash, I'm rasher,

Fragile like plaster,
Dashed in an instant


Never underestimate the power to be understood and misunderstood...understand?

Sintax the Terrific - Make Believe Lyrics

CHORUS -

"You make me believe it’s not make believe
fill in all the gaps that I can’t conceive
break a skeptic down to his basic need
to put a finger in the wrist where salvation bleeds
You make me believe it’s not make believe
I’m breath-taken by your sacred mysteries
God take me to the root of that ancient tree
where knowledge is the fruit that only faith can see"

Watching "Breathe" tonight

Even if you say that you don't believe,
I can hear the Truth from you as your lungs heave,
Because no matter the lies that your mind conceives
Everyone says the name of God when they breathe.

Who defies the law,
Who defined them all?
Who was given the gall?
Then who gave the call?

Since man's first fall,
It's been a universal brawl.

As you walk, crushing the dust of the earth underfoot,
Trust theodicy to never be understood.

A moment of strength...found in weakness

I am so very much in need of Truth...Sometimes I alert myself by the great deal of problems I have by questioning Scripture so much...just today I started getting really worked up on some ideas about prayer...It's too easy to misconstrue Scripture....what do I believe right now that is a lie????

How could I even find out unless someone let me know? I wouldn't know otherwise, because I would believe it's the truth...and it's not...how scary is it to think that you might be very heretical and not even know it...


But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. - John 16:13

fear-less

Imagine a world without fear,
A world uninhibited
That contributed
To happiness unlimited.
Find me its derivative,
Show me the goods it has distributed,
All the bad it didn't do,
All the sin it didn't accrue,
All the deceit it didn't brew,
A world filled with You.

Life

Sometimes I'm crying inside of my head,
Pretending past feelings are dead,
And so I'm lying to myself instead
Of dealing with the issue I dread.

Oh how I miss you, I said,
I can't live without you, my Bread,
I can't stand the pain without you, my med.,
I crave the light that you shed,
I wouldn't follow when you led,
When you looked I fled,
When you judged I plead,
When I turned you bled,

Now my heart is torn to shreds,
My life is broken strands of thread,
Oh shattered dreams I tread,
Ripped at the seams, o the nets I spread,
What does this mean? Then I read
That you are faithful to death.

How can you return the breath,
That which I breathed out, You kept?
Such a fool was I then, but in You now I'm left
Standing on the Rock which with life is deft,
The same man who created Eve when Adam was cleft,
When He of my love was bereft,
He gave me more hope and love than I had before the theft
Of my joy.

Once I was a broken toy, but now I'm healed, a real boy....
