"Ready For Work"

Seeds were planted long ago,
Now is the time to reap,
Awake, you strong workers,
Fruit is ripe for the harvest,
But few eyes are put into action,
Some say their spirit is rightly aimed,
While the flesh is screaming with fear,
Others are seeking the next encounter,
To tend and prune as needed,
Guided by the hand that blesses,
Sharing that which has been given,
The secret that must not be withheld,
One that holds the very key to life,
Step forward, accept His challenge,
Put the lives of others before yours,
Drop the act of selfish pride,
Take on the servants cloth,
Teach the new generation as you were once taught,
Don't be afraid of failure,
Fight for those that are neglected,
Once they gain My wisdom,
They shall be able to endure,
Forces to be reckoned with,
Power shall fall upon them as it does to you,
So there's one question you must answer,
Are you ready to work for someone else,
To benefit a higher good than just yourself,
Saving a life because yours was also saved,
Each second that's spent,
Draws closer to an end,
You have all the time to think,
Is it worth wasting someone's life.

"Pitch Black"

Mind and body seem disconnected,
The heart aches from their battles,
Confusion rises within,
Doubt causes a disoriented glaze,
Covering the face so pale,
Life driven away by fear,
Disappears in a flash without saying goodbye,
Left breathless and shaky,
Darkness never broken by daylight,
Aimlessly my footsteps struggle,
Falling into never ending nightmares,
Where happiness is violently defeated,
Reaching out to only grasp air,
Quiet and empty in the bottomless pit,
Suffering alone my tears become visible,
Searching for help that never shows,
As my head hits the floor for the last time,
A faint voice shouting in the distance,
Distorted are the repeating words,
Out of nowhere a hand yanks me from this fire,
Forever hurt from not being heard,
Being taught the new meaning of forgiveness,
Penetrated deep the seed of anger,
Surgery has begun, time will heal all.

"Lesson From Failure"

Focused, or at least that's what I thought,
War rages as my anger is fought.
Trying too hard has blurred my vision,
Wounds created by a self inflicted incision.
One that snakes it's way, tangling pride,
Constricting tightly cutting off the life that's supplied.
My ears are filled by voices like a refreshing rain,
Each drop that hits the drum begins to nullify the pain.
A sudden down pour occurs as I tune every other sound out,
Eyes close as gentle years drench this overdue drought.
Then, everything in life seems to be crystal clear,
Satisfaction from failure, not fear.
For there is something to strive for to breathe success,
Dreams and goals shine, as doubt has no power to suppress.
All negativity has been vanquished by the Son's light,
Love and joy for myself have finally chosen to unite.
Breaking bondages set in stone long ago,
Stepping out of darkness, never again will I hide in a shadow.
Have fun with those that bring courage to your heart,
For inspiration is transferred through this bond that can not be torn apart.

"Beyond The Blessing"

Swept away by the music,
A dream that became reality,
Untold was your life's future,
Without hesitation releasing control,
Tossed here and there at His will,
Lost and loved has been the price,
Creating unforgettable memories,
Your eyes have seen heeling and pain,
Through those gates trust was established,
Hearing the sincerity of your voice,
Seeing you smile I lose any doubt,
Peering through me to my core,
Spoken words of success,
Encouraged all steps towards God,
Corrected areas that we're hidden from the surface,
Grateful of the time you put in,
Priceless are you in my life,
Always a friend, but so much more,
Never sugar coated the truth,
Teaching me to endure,
To never give up on myself,
Drawing forth a secretly hidden passion,
That has drastically changed my path,
Thank you for every push at the edge,
Without you my parachute wouldn't open,
Shown so much by they way you live,
Struck by the very same spirit,
I'm moved to further this world,
Carrying on what I've been taught,
Thanks, for never giving up on me.

"Never Dried Out"

Life only gives choices,
Decision is where we live.
Taking on or giving up,
Freedom fights slavery.
Forfeit in order to gain,
Receiving that which was lost.
Actions from the heart,
Only from there I offer up,
What I am, where I am headed.
Relinquishing control,
Resigning from my earthly body,
Faithfully I walk in a spiritual covenant.
Selling all I own for an eternal journey,
Where I must lay my life down,
To save those I do not know.
Transform me into a servant,
In that I release personal glory.
Living as Christ did,
I willing kill myself daily for Him to reign,
Shining bright through me drawings souls in.
Welcoming Jesus's legacy to fully eclipse my entire existence,
Becoming more like Him, I quit my selfishness,
Renouncing all thoughts that only benefit my needs an desires.
Accepting Him name and covering,
Never forgetting those that spoke over me His word,
As years pass by, wisdom is shared by generations.
Thankful am I, for the sacrifices to reach out,
Embracing the call, spreading joy and love through the ages.
The meaning hasn't changed,
Yet the tactic has become more creative.
God, for all you've given,
The strength in weakness always makes me smile.

Be Content

What is this that's coursing through my veins?
a warming sensation that heals all my pains.
It floods my heart, and continues to flow throughout,
your hand wipes my tears away, fixing the leaky spout.
Drying my face as a sense of compassion comes upon me,
plucked from those fearful emotions I am free.
The feeling of being alone melts away,
because you God are here always , not just today.
When I'm down I feel you surrounding me like a child,
even id I'm doing great, your grace comforts me so I don't get wild.
Beginning to change how and what I allow myself to see,
not giving into pressure unleashed by my enemy.
Instead I turn and run into your loving arms,
you keep me in check, always setting off godly alarms.
Backing away from you is something we can not afford,
authentically desiring friendship and an eternal life award.
Worship draws me closer to you than anything else I can think,
pouring my heart out in that, and not wasting a drop down the sink.
Being thankful for all that has happened, and of what is to come,
patiently waiting while my heart beats like a drum.
Giving everything I have, holding nothing back,
this goes on while the enemy tries to break me, sorry but I will not crack.

Come Sit My Child

My dear daughter, do you think I can not see?
behind those eyes and fake smile, what wants to be.
Nothing can be done to escape my view,
I see deep inside your heart, actually further than you.
Hidden emotion, falsehood of action that takes place,
every single look that comes from your face.
I want nothing more than you to feel loved,
but you are not feeling that, just shoved.
I am here to tell you to look a little closer,
for love comes from a beaming light of friendship.
Something that I have been giving you.
Words of encouragement from them lift your spirit,
don't look down, because strength is on its way.
