Deliverance

I have been betrayed by many
Vile words have been spoken about me
I lose them all with that fermented nectar
And for a moment I feel better
A drunken fool is all you see
Only because I'm never happy
I want my life to be perfect
I ask for just a little respect
How can I get that on a buzz?
I hurt people just because
Laying in a random bed, poisoned again
I hear my voice, pure and plain
I realize i have said this all aloud
My first prayer, angels all around
Eyes closed, a voice comes in clearly
"All men will hate you for me
By standing firm you will gain life."
I know the only way out of my strife
Is to rest in the hands of God
For he will deliver me from the sod

Eating Your Seed

With little in my pockets
And faith wearing thin
I let my mind wander and forget
My life really is perfect
Even though I'm "hungry and poor"
My money could feed a family of four
I have enough for what i want
But nothing for what I need
The money i make is such a taunt
I get my fruit and eat the seed
Ten percent is all he asks for
You get ninety, you need more?
While in this recession
You start to learn your lesson
The less i have for myself
The more I have with Christ

By My Side (This ones for my girl)

Sometimes it may seem tough
Thant road we're on can be rough
Just sit back and enjoy the ride
It goes by smoother with you by my side
I know there is no such thing as perfect
But when it comes to you, the adage is incorrect
Lost in your eyes, where I abide
Its nice to hold you by my side
You make me want to be a better man
The change to be who i truly am
Never will I start to slide
Knowing you will stay at my side
From my head down to my feet
You make my life complete
As well as the stars in the sky
I always want you by my side

Never Again

Sometimes i sit and wonder why?
Then i look at life with a different eye
The life i live i could never part
But man, everybody has a heart
Just a thing to pump my blood
Never thought it would show some love
I run my fingers through my hair
Since when did i ever care?
Who's voice is this which calls my name?
I can feel it now, chill and desire
My life will never be the same
Now i feel it, im on fire!
It kills me the way i've been
That life i lived, never again.

Let it Go

You cry yourself to sleep
You allow the Devil in to creep
Darkness clouds the light that should be
Guiding your life entirely
You feel the weight of the world upon you
The things you do, you start to rue
Your overcome with anguish and sorrow
It's a simple remedy, let it go
For as God has commanded you
Cast all your anxiety on him
Because he cares for you
For with Jesus the light never dims
Let it go with all your heart
For Jesus' love for you shall never part.

The Blossom

I am like dirt on the ground
Where nothing good can be found
You were the seed that entered me
And flooded my heart entirely

Slowly you grew into a stem
And softly turned into a gem
A beautiful flower for me to see
And for everyone else to envy

Only you can bloom with splendor
And make my heart fully surrender
I cannot stop my eyes from staring
Nor keep my soul from caring

Only a blossom as stunning as you
Can make my love for you spew
For I am like dirt on the ground
Where my blossom can be found

The Dove

One day they laugh with cheer
The next day you’re filled with fear
You get the feeling something’s wrong
Nah, he’s all right, my friend is strong

Two days pass and not a word
And here’s a sign, a little white bird
Seated on your window sill
Then it hits you, you feel the chill

The snow white dove holds in his beak
A photo of the friend you seek
He drops it there in front of you
While this face no more stares at you

This here little dove
Opens your heart filled with love
Though only a picture remains of their face
Your friend is surely in a better place
