God
Job
Lord, I'm on my knees again
Because the worst has happened
The death of a loved one
The loss of a job
I can't pay the bills
My wife no longer loves me
So I'm here today
Before the Lord of creation
The First and Last
And perhaps the best I can say
Is a hollow hallelujah
From an empty heart
“The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away
Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
For who knows
Perhaps by my suffering
Someone else may be blessed
Someone else might have hope
Someone else might see You through me
I can't see the future
I don't know the greater plan
But I believe, but I Know
That even in the hardest of times
I can rely on You to carry me
When I fall, let me fall into Your arms
Please take this broken life
This shattered jar of clay
And shape it into the man
That You need me to be
I trust You
I love You
And because of these
I know that I'll be ok

SIN
SIN!
We've got a sinner right here!
SIN!
Devil's got a winner right here!
SIN!
We've got a sinner right here!
SIN!
Devil's got a winner right here!
I see her, Deceiver, a believer in Fear~
She's lonely, and owned see, a product of tempt only
Below me, faith sown deep, testing me, it grows 'neath
Untestable, blessed inall, instincts are unquestionable
Does God want me to guide her?
Or the satisfaction I provide her?
Lucifer wants me to be the divder
Rule, control, conquer and ride her
No...
SIN!
We've got a sinner right here!
SIN!
Devil's got a winner right here!
SIN!
We've got a sinner right here!
SIN!
Devil's got a winner right here!
Confident, Competent, perfect body concomitant
redeemer, I'd be her, naive demeanor
So Begiled, it's wild, her faith reconciled
Saviour! but I'd savour the Sinful Behaviour
In scarlet, a harlot, yet an innocent mess
Lost and confused in God's given test
Me, She anticipates, Looking her very best
Lust is the feeling she's willing to confess
SIN!
We've got a sinner right here!
SIN!
Devil's got a winner right here!
SIN!
We've got a sinner right here!
SIN!
Devil's got a winner right here!
I will admit
I'd try it
My blessings
won't hide it
My children

I'm too blessed
So I've decided...

Devil's trying to steer!

We've got a sinner right here!

What we leave behind
What we leave behind!
On the day that we are born is the day our lives begin
we’ll leave behind footprints to where we all have been
some impressions will linger on so do keep that in mind
its those things that will live on as to what we leave behind
during our time on earth were taught all kinds of things
like how to live the life were given without the age-old sins
some will give all they have strength and honor intertwined
its those times we live for as to what we leave behind
so make sure you live your life the way god wants you too
and seek his guidance and his love in everything you do
so when your time on earth is done please bear in mind
the love you’ve given thru out your life is what you’ll leave behind

Tested and True
I'm being tested....
And I feel, the fail.
For I am not worthy,
Of not even 1 nail.
I'm just a sinner,
Imperfect and flawed,
Compared to Perfection,
I'm just a fraud.
In my moments of weakness,
He is my steadfast might.
In my struggles in darkness,
He is my Guiding Light.
But by His Grace,
My soul is unstained,
Because of his Gift,
I'm no longer chained.
He comes in gently,
And I feel His arms,
Holding me closely,
Protected from harms.
He comes and He washes,
Away all my shame,
He calls me, His 'Beloved',
He calls me by name.
So if I'm being tested,
I now know I can't fail.
He tells me to not hide,
And lifts off my veil.
For there's no shame before Him,
We can't ever hide.
If we chose, to choose Him,
He'll walk by our side.
Forever in step with,
And of His accord,
I'll never be without...
My Savior...My Lord.
An Armchair Theologian
I believe! I Believe! Lord, help my unbelief
I believe, I believe, my constant motif
I believe but don't grow
And my faith doesn't show
Because I can't be bothered to “do”
I know faith is given, not earned
Yet here I sit unconcerned
I'm given to resting
When I should be testing
To see that my faith is real
“You shall know them by their fruits”
But seeds planted on stones don't have roots
My apathy grows
So nobody knows
That I don't follow what I believe
The path down below is a slope
So gradual and smooth that you hope
It stays just the same
Like a current so tame
But leads to a waterfall
I'm not living, or learning
I'm sitting and burning
Lord I want to live
But not if I give
My time or my life
My comfort for strife
Is there an easier way?
You said believe and I shall be clean
Believe, and come home again
But how can I start
If only my heart
Wasn't an armchair theologian
God Is Greater!
God is Greater!
So, don’t fear bad weather, news, and the taunts of your haters
You show God’s love by forgiving and unfailingly loving all your neighbors
Do!
And it shall be given upon to you
For you are blessed and highly favored by God
All these things shall be giving a billion-fold of what was robbed
For, Great is God than he or it of this world
Use your talents to uplift all man, woman, boy, and girl
For the time has come
My Dear Chosen One
To spread your wings and fly
Flying high amongst the sky
For your dreams are big bigger than you can do yourself
So, learn to depend and to submit to someone else
For, the greatest good
Use your gifts to uplift and pull others out of the ghetto and hood
I wish I could touch you and hold you tight
For, this is a fight for your soul’s life
Get Right
And get dress for church to go hear the Word
Trust, eventually you live out what is heard
For no man can stop what God has already ordained as His own
I pray, let His Holy Spirit live in your body your temple your home
I promise with God you’re never alone
I speak victory
I hope you hear me
Greatness, Purity, Holiness, and Wholeness
For you are greater than this!
I speak rise up him and her!
Pick up your bed, walk into your true worth, and sin no more for
God is Greater!

I fear no abyss
Lightning air winds through his hair
Serpents entwine in his black curly coils
Strong and thick and big as a rig
Sky eyes pierce me with wisdom and ire
Shine light on my face, this face of a liar
A giant among all men and mice
Makes me meek as a meager mouse bite
I pray for one kiss to reach his lips
Crawl on through infinite muck and mire
Half of his hesitance is bathed in this
The other half moves closer and closer
The whole of my soul believes in this role
All part of me is given to fire
Yet I fear no abyss but his plaintive remiss
The Wager
A friendly wager between the two
A shake of hands and it was through
God and the Devil struck a deal
How many souls could they steal
subjects of a sinister bet
Humans as the main event
Our fate a twisted competition
boredom replaced by a bad decision
Who would win the most souls
And bragging rights and gold medals
A different kind of entertainment
To keep them busy for a minute
This madness trumps all rational
Where right and wrong they can not tell
Like waking up from a demented dream
A nightmare played on a movie screen
Would God betray us and sell us out
Just for lack of something else to do
Maybe Such madness is not so far fetched
To put a price tag on all our heads
But this is just a silly thought
A harmless notion That I dwell on
Out of boredom and lack of sleep
But what a scary thought indeed
A deal with the devil and god agrees?
