Inside the Dishwasher everyone rushed! Clinks, clanks, rattles, 'Ouches' and ' Ohs'! "Would you pa--lease, settle down!" said Deb--They hushed. "Now we can hear...let's just see how this goes." Curious, Peter, looked out through a chinc, And watched Vie and Chris-- approaching by twos. They opened the door--and who do you think-- Standing there wearing her fine Jimmy Choos, Ms Lost Sonnet!--spoke not a word--but winked. Wilma Wine-Corkscrew, dressed in purple hues Gave the 'all clear', and Peter spread the news. "We're having a party Ms Sonnet, please, Won't you join us? It's a magic party For Peter", said Ruben Rotisserie. Bob Blender poured her a drink--quite hardy. Connie Candellabra was flaming bright As Ms Sonnet swept past to the soft couch. Carolyn Cookie Jar screamed with such fright, "Quick! She's on fire!" Then Lost cried, "Ouch!" "I'll save her", said Catie Collander. "Here!" But the water leaked through her like a sieve. Susan Spatula yelled, "Have no fear, dear!" Yet, the fire held on and would not give-- Others tried, but could not stop the fire. Then Peter said, "I wuw twy! I can do it! With 'Awwy, I can fwy! Way up highya! Togethwa, we can save Ms Wost Sonnet! Awwy is my fwend. He tawks funny, too! He's aw the way fwom Engwand and he is My Supwa Cape! So I can fwy! It's twue! No H's wive theaw--his name is wike this: 'Awwy--not Hawwy." So now, they all knew. "Did I 'ear some bloke colling my name?" "Yes! 'Awwy, me! We've Ms Sonnet to save!" Harry Handtowel--AKA, Super Cape--fame Was now on the neck of Peter the Brave! With no hesitation quickly they flew, Smothered the fire and saved just one shoe. Brittle and weak, Lost needed more than glue... "She needs magic! Oh! Paweeze! What can we do?" "Peter...we only made enough for you". Said Carol Crock-pot. They all cried, "Boo Hoo..." "Then give huw my magic! That's what you do!" So quickly they sprinkled the magic brew. Ms Sonnet was greatful--then said, "Adieu". "Peter, you've done well," said Anne Assam Tea, "Let's all have a cup'a tea and you'll see... "'Magic's believing in yourself, --frankly, Do that--and you can do--anything!" ~©deborah burch 5/23/2012 *Special appearance by "Lost Sonnet", courtesey of David Williams...with much gratitude, thank you all for appearing ;)...Peter has many adventures to come...big hugs, love you all, cap'n deb
He was just a child who wandered off Lost and alone trying to find his way Starting to get dark and didn't know where he was He cried for his mom and began to pray Being in the woods with no sense of direction Too dark to see and afraid to run A stranger appeared out of the darkness And said don't be afraid, I'll help you, son Mom had been praying for her lost little boy Neighbors helped search with the police all around On the third day, sitting there in a clearing He was no longer missing, now he was found Mom hugged her son and started to cry The little boy said Mom I'll be alright Where is the stranger that helped me out He stayed with me through each dark night He told me when he was a little boy That once he had gotten lost too His mom and Dad were very upset Because they didn't know what to do Then the little boy shouted, Hey Mom, that's him I would know him anywhere When I was lost and so afraid He came to me and was always there Look at him Mom, I feel so sad I don't know what to say Tell me Mom, what did He do wrong Why did they hang Him on the cross that way? If we truly believe, He will always be there when we need Him most.
When I tried, I'd grab your hand Pull you close and hurt you inside When I lived, I'd bring you down There's nothing left to live for this time Funny faces, painful places Tempting lies and metaphoric races Spiteful smiles, selfish trials Losing friends within my denial When I gave, I'd take the land Sell it off and then demand If you give, I'll share the wealth But now I'm done and I see sand Trading thoughts, selling pain Despising trust unless I gain Unheard sounds, silent voices Expressing nothing and no more choices I got lost in fear but now I'm fine I fell so far and lost all time Landed on my feet and heard a rhyme I heard my breath and took in this sign Waking, feinting, coloured paintings Shivering and understating Take my mind, take my soul Circulate it all as I'm creating Words that breathe, words that show Wisdom as my eyesight grows I've seen the fall, I've felt the breeze Swam through space and shadowed trees Another death and I'll be fine My soul has finally aligned Though my body still a cage in time My spirit travels and I find I got lost in fear but now I'm fine I fell so far and lost all time Landed on my feet and heard a rhyme I heard my breath and took in this sign The world is round and so I spin I'll close my eyes and I'll begin
The days seem to go by so fast. there is a void in the air, the birds have lost their vibrant beat, the ocean has lost its luster, the soil feels solid and dry. My soul feels as if it has left my body before my death, my dreams haunt my day, the tears stain my steps, my doctor says that it is depression, I say that it is reality, I am intoxicated by society,I am numb by perscriptions. Why do I feel so isolated within myself? is there no one in my painfully tight shoes? can anyone understand my pain? can anyone melt in my sorrows? why am I this way? why is the world so cruel? why can't I be normal? Wait! I am normal, what am I saying, I know now, the veil has been lifted, humanity is my enemy, the sins that drip from their sweat, the dread that follows their shadows, their souls of black, their intentions of greed pull a shade across their eyes. They are destined for doom, they will not be saved, they will not find salvation, they belittle me, they curse me, they shame me, but they are right about one thing, I am different, unlike them, I will be saved in the last days.
I never knew following dreams could be this lonely, But up on the hill, looking back, thank God I'm not the old me. If the tears will fall, let them be; I believe this is God's plan, follow your dreams.
The sweetest sounds of burning trees A gentle stroking in the breeze The calm has lasted past the storm Cloudy visions, Satan's roar Too many sights have passed my way A time found only in the haze The softest screams are running bare My aching bones creak as I stare You walk a distance towards me The fall's eternal, can't you see? I'm a memory in your heart I whisper to you in the dark The battle's started at the end No one is coming to repent The sinners grab their wine from prey No judgment calling here to stay The sport is reckless to be told The one is laughing at his souls It falters nowhere to be sure The power grows forevermore Like a spirit in the wind I have no say in where you've been But cross the line to come to me And pay the price for ecstasy You walk a distance towards me The fall's eternal, can't you see? I'm a memory in your heart I whisper to you in the dark.
Father it's me again. It's been too long between talks Days, years: restless lost wasted years Choices made based on greed, pride, arrogance and misbegotten dreams It's difficult at best to understand how You can still love me The blessings continued throughout it all I had Kristofferson on the stereo asking Why Me Lord Now I know I just want to come home One more shot at doing it right, conscience not materialistic ideals Finding peace within myself, empathy for those who cannot. The journey was a bit different than I imagined Detours, lost highways, dead ends. Many roads. Wrong ones More light at the end of the dirt roads Than the ones paved in gold Harder to reach your destination But the accommodations were better in the end One more thing I meant to say and never did Thank You Father for the hard times Thank You for the trials that helped strengthen me At the time, I didn't understand Now I see. Tears can cleanse the soul Only when they are real.
I am Reality's angel resting on the broad shoulders of discovery the truth feeds darkness and engulfs its target ideas and concepts in turn become meaningless to you there is a creator of all things He is just and patient many still have fallen into the masses of shadow wrapped in their own filthy idols of philosophy I have seen grown men fall like rose petals and weaklings rise into unjust leaders forever the follower of furtive evil dominating only to remain inferior the most important answers lie in the unseen regions where no sense can fully give assurance the mind that so many unreasonably twist and turn grows weary because of the distance it must take and truth be told the distance is not what frustrates it is knowing we are seeking something far that could very possibly not exist, that our minds can twist into theoretical, idealistic nonsense it is knowing all we really think we know is meaningless and yes—even a lie all that has been written thus far rests under my wings under the warmth in which you refuse to feel can you believe in me— though I am completely unseen? how much more difficult would it be to see Him?
It was their night they shone bright as they danced their sweet dance Two lovers embraced in their world of romance. They laughed and they cried as their eyes locked in stare It was their world for this moment as if no one was there. And their steps they so flawlessly glided in tune, To a melody that touched everyone in that room. Their passion brought envy to onlookers there, Who secretly questioned their own love affair. But as the night closed and came to an end The lovers were blind to what lie round the bend. The house and the cars and the jobs that went bad The kids drove them crazy and their savings were drab. So they fought to hold on to the things in their life, That caused them so much of their pain and their strife. They fought with each other like enemies do, And dismissed in their life everything that was true. So when sickness and hardships and troubles occurred, Their vows to commit seemed truly absurd. Their home and their kids would now take a backseat, For their moral obligation they chose not to meet. So I Ask … What happened to that dance they danced so well? With passion and truth everyone could tell. What happened to their dance where they held so tight? What happened to the wonder of their glorious night? What happened to the words that charmed their ears? With a passionate rhythm that brought them to tears. What happened to those vows that poured from their heart? The "I love you forever and till death do us part". For these aren't just words we borrow for the day, From another who tells us this is what we must say. We say them cause it's what we feel true in our heart, It's a God given blessing we commit from the start. But these words are now lost as they fall on deaf ears, Since the pain and the struggles they've created these years. So the lesson here learned dear people of odd, Is that love is so fragile but made strong with our God. So stop fighting for power and money or need, For all of this nonsense is only our greed. Keep God in your life and he'll walk you through, When heartache and pain and losses ensue. For why commit vows in the eyes of our God, And not call on him when life gets too hard? For the truth of our vows we are all meant to see, is that marriage is not, made of two, but of three If reading these words ring some truth in your heart, Decide that today you will make a new start. Go hug your spouse and say something kind Don't let the small stuff cloud up your mind. We're all just lost souls who are trying to cope If not there for each other then where is the hope? You see, the anger, the fight that in us abide, Is only the insecure child inside. So rise up above all this fear and this pain, And see all the beauty that there is to gain. By trusting in God and his will for you Together forever he'll see you both through. For life is too short for our miserly ways cheap on our love hence dreading our days. He made us to love in all that we do To wake up each morning and start us a new. So pray for your spouse, ask God to be kind To the person you prayed in the beginning to find. They're still the same person you loved from the start But life and it's troubles have hardened their heart. You vowed that you'd love them in sickness and health Now is your chance to show God what you felt. So rise up my friend, don't say that you're through For what if your loving God gave up on you?
Whisper to me little one as the waves break on the shore and brings the mysteries of the deep with her haunting memories fore Whisper to me little one as the wind changes her pace Her howling scream then silent still keeps tortured cries encased Whisper to me little one of all lost grains of sand ever seeking their way home but scattered by human hands Whisper to me little one as the sun intensifies her heat yet cannot melt with all her warmth the coldness of defeat Whisper to me little one and do not feel aghast Be not conspirator with this world nor keeper of the past Whisper to me little one and share with me your fears the secrets of your sufferings the hidden controlled tears Whisper to me little one for unlike the wind and sea I'll offer arms of comfort and the words to set you free Whisper to me little one for each grain of sand is mine thought lost none can destroy you who was held by the Divine Now hold on to me little one as buried nightmares rise and with distinctive form and shape is revealed before your eyes But as you look my little one forget not that I say "You're stronger, well learnt, and my love, will ever guide the righteous way"...
Sometimes the memories won't fade All the places we have seen All the prices we have paid The memories of the happy as well as the sad The people we've lost The friends that we had Some memories just seem like a ghost I always lost everyone that I loved the most The wind would just carry them away Along with my tears And my ability to pray I wonder how far is heaven from here? How many more heartaches How many more tears I wonder how far it is away Because I have so many things that I wish to say To all the people that I loved and I lost I'm not even tripping My heart paid the cost The reaper rode the river in a bikers disguise I'll never forget the fear in my mother's eyes As he drug her under and then let her go Through my four year old veins hate started to grow My eyes were blind my ears were deaf After that I forgot There was anything left Karma is like poker for it is bound to luck When I was just a boy God through me under the truck Of all the things in life we feel We are all bound to God's will Passion is a doorway between love and hate God is the dealer in the game of fate Our place is not to question why For if we do our faith will die The deeper we hate the deeper we love I was gifted wisdom by the Lord above Every gift comes at a price A world of experience behind my advice Every smile holds a lifetime of pain Nothing that happens should happen in vein It is our choice that which we do Know in your heart these words are true The harder we fall the further we climb No ones life is totally sublime Illusion after illusion will be offered to you But only the living word is true The living word that beats in your heart Will keep you safe as the world falls apart Through the pain of a boy watching his mother die It's never to late to kiss the sky A man of faith who could never give up Please come break my bread and share in my cup By the time our journey is through I'll share all I am with you Hopefully somewhere in my words you'll see ---Untwisted is truly the way to be---
I remember the dream of Austria As the war for me was finally closing High in my turret upon the Sherman I entered this mountain paradise at last Until I reached the earthly gates of hell Within those eyes I found despair That spark of life long dead Their hearts filled of solitudes poison Muted voices no longer calling out Thousands of souls starving for hope Existing amongst corpses who had lost it Now just shadows of the once proud Crushed by tyranny simply because they "were" Empty men drifting about lost in a miring haze Praying for the peace only death grants So very few seemed to hold onto humanity They had nothing to fear because all was lost As I stood at the hells gates called Mauthausen In that moment I found the truest of evils Under the threshold of Hades a toxoid of hatred Not truly comprehending what my eyes spoke Numbed in fears I never knew subsisted within me Standing frozen I wanted nothing more than to run As the shell of that crying man fell in my arms I am haunted by his words…"godheid bedanken" My faith transfused giving him a moments hope Within those high peaks of the songs of paradise I lost my soul at the gates of a concentration camp Every night since I hear his voice thanking God He called us the wrath and thunder of reckoning But…I was just a boy with rifle searching for a respite
Once soft meadows so full of life, now hold shadows, blocking the light. Words unheard, and dreams untouched, once your eyes laughed so much. Distant sounds, still call your name, within a body silenced by the game. Love can't touch, and tears can't clean, that part we know as self esteem. Yesterdays of you, bring me joy, recalling back when you were a boy. Shiny blonde hair, and smiling blue eyes, my heart forever hypnotized. As tomorrow comes, and life goes on, somewhere happiness must belong. My prayer for you I humbly ask, may light surround you within God's grasp. A blessing for me, when you were born, but somehow evil has sent this storm. Jesus You know him, but he has lost his way, hold him tight, don't let him stray. Bring him safely to me once more, as the waves get higher on unknown shores. Lost is lonely, and screaming for help, but I can't save him all by myself. I give him to You, as I sit and cry, a mother in pain, I cannot lie. Your mother watched, as you died on a cross, a mother in pain, for her son she had lost. You gave her comfort, You called her name, now I give You mine, my heart feels the same. Bring him safely back into the flock, as You guide a lost vessel from hidden rocks. Let him know joy, let him feel rain, as Your Love gently brings, my son home again.
If I forget, Remind me of your name As it must have slipped away. If I forget, Show me a photo of my face As it surely has changed. If I forget, Take my hand back to that place For I've certainly lost my way. If I forget, Breathe a gentle breath in my ear If will calm my fear and rekindle the flame. If I forget, Bring the heart straps That held me to you like glue. And if I forget, Carry the memory of us It is lost but a treasure on a raft on the waves... TRS, 09/13/08
Full circle really isn't true, for I would not have wanted the former you. Beyond all things that seemed to be, in the past, there was no "you and me". To my amazement now, your eyes aren't closed, for now I see into your soul. Through wrenching pain, anguish, and tears, the real you, your soul, finally appeared. By God's grace above all things must change, and he decided to wipe away our pain. A second chance is his gift to us, and to take this chance it is a must. Through hell and back and far beyond, we'll always have that common bond. We lost our way and lost ourselves, but God is giving us his help. To say a leap of faith is without fear, that's never true, and they'll be tears. But our love is powerful, strong and pure, and I know, my dear, we will endure.
In the mist of life, I have found myself lost and alone in a wood dark and gray. A chill to the bone, a fall to the depth a longing to feel the warm rays of day. There was but one road which ran to a church. There was many roads that ran far in the wood. Like a fool I have run past Elm and Birch this lost road turned to a trail where I stood. A dark cloud now forms a narrow cold sky a wind from the North, which blows coastally. My choice brings no answer only a sigh it made years ago and so willfully. Weary am I of a life on this path wishing to visit my option again. Fearing my Lord or fearing His wrath I backtrack this road but only in vain. Before me a puzzle of rock and stone reaching far back before a road in time planted me deep in a mist with no tone searching for a life, that I could call mine. This narrowing track turns back on itself, the undergrowth soon will stand in my way. In the mist of life, I have found myself Lost and alone in a wood dark and gray.
When I was young I lost my love , When I looked to the sky I saw a dove . Waiting and watching to see what was next, I saw the fish and heart and thought i was blessed. The love that was lost is trying to find, A place in my heart and in my mind. The Fish stood for Life that I knew was gone, The Heart stood for love that I had for so long. The Dove stood for peace and I knew right away , That the love that I lost was the love that would stay.
There on that bench, here in this park Was where I met God, alone in the dark. He wasn't adorned with riches galore. He was a pauper man, not needing more. He sat with me then, as I was so scared. Just eight years old, and I got lost at the fair. Separated from family, didn't know where to go I sat on the bench and waited there so. Along came this man, scared of him I was Until he sat next to me, I lost fear because He spoke with a tone and offered a hand, A sign to me that he would understand. I told him my story. He said not to fear. He'd stay with me until family was near. I felt reassured and safe as could be. His warm soft voice, it blanketed me. Then in the distance, my dad had appeared. He was right all along, I had nothing to fear. My dad came up crying and hugged me so tight. I then turned to that man to wish him goodnight. He was there on the bench, I knew it for sure. When I turned my head, he wasn't there anymore. I looked at my dad and told him of my tale He smiled back at me and fell awfully pale. He said, "Son when you need him, God does appear. It's not very strange that He was right here. He serves and protects and loves us all much. I believe He was here and gave you His touch." I was amazed at those words that my father said. I couldn't wait to go home and pray at my bed. "Dear God up in the Heaven, I thank you, I do. You sent me a savior and that savior was You. You reached to this child, protected this night. You offered him hope and provided light. You took away his fear and made him feel warm. Mostly, Dear God, you kept him from harm. Thank you."
An empty room was the scenery to his death Not a single living soul was present to witness the events that took place A sliding door covered with a mirror spoke back to him with his own reflection words spoken and breath A change he saw in the playful mirror, he had a different face A broken heart powered his spirit, a spirit that had lost all sense of direction Fake, selfish to the heart he crawled into his path All along yearning for his fathers attention A feeling that he never met, for he was truly lost in the yearning of affection Anger flowed in his heart Hope was locked up, it wasn't free always it had a bail He never truly mean to harm anyone, yet the ones closest to him felt it all, saw his spirit fail Alas all was lost, his family, his dreams slapped him awake, awake to his reality in part All alone, at the bottom of the pit His heart was bleeding and not a soul around to aid him, he fell to his knees With his heart in his hand, reaching for the sky, he asked Jesus to take his heart and dwell in it An ugly howl of the mind with the spirit and soul all at one, gasping for air, for life he said "please" Shattered, his all, he was nothing but dirt with dirt His eyes blinded by the endless tears could not see the sky, a beautiful night it was He asked with all his mind, heart and spirit to be forgiven for his past, for his fault for his flaws At point zero he blacked out, he died In his death he saw a light, brighter that the sun itself, it blinded the heart A presence he had never felt before came over him, yet there was no fear Pleaing to his understanding, he knew it was good, and that shortly he would awake from his sleep Wrong, for the light drew closer and it even spoke, at the words that vented into him, he did weep A sense of security, of purity overwhelmed his body Afraid he was not, for His Lord was the light In the beginning, from the very start He was there to guide him into life herself, teaching him how to fight Darkpoet died that night, but a new being was born! In the name of Jesus Christ, he was called Jeremiah -God, father I have been seeking you all my life, Here I am Lord to serve You, My King. Jeremiah I shall be, to write for You Father. Jeremiah Eduardo Orozco
Dreams are lost forever as people die, The people left behind can do nothink but wipe away tears from there eyes, Theres a million sad faces when some one is lost, And the People left behind, Are the ones who count the cost, You can sense and smell the person moving in your home, And you know deep in your heart, You will never be alone, Dreams are lost forever, As people die, But they are gone to Heaven, So please dont cry; "BY" THE WARRIOR POET "E.J.HEALY" --------------------------
Have we lost what we thought would never die Promises made are broken and lost forever My heart will still always love you forever Why I ask has this happened to me How can the love we had cease to be I still hope we can find our way And our paths will join like they did that day You are the one chosen for me< I know in time this too you will see Somewhere deep in your heart There is the memory of me that will never part When you find that memory I pray it will show you we are meant to be
We must leave the ninety-nine To go search and find The one lost sheep Wand'ring far behind We must leave the ninety-nine To go search and find The one lost sheep- Left behind (Chorus) Just suppose one of you has a hundred sheep Then loses one of them and begins to weep Would you not leave the ninety and nine And go after the one on your heart and mind And when it's found you would hold it closer And carry it home upon your shoulders Then call all your neighbors and gather all your friends Celebrating your sheep that's back in the fold again [Bridge] Likewise there's more rejoicing In Heaven up above Over one lost soul who will repent Than for the ninety-nine Who are already found To be righteous and so obedient (So..) (Chorus) Now suppose one of you has ten silver coins But then loses one of them from your collection Would you not light the house and sweep the floors Searching very carefully for what is yours Would you not put away the other precious nine And look in every corner until the lost one you'd find Then call all your neighbors and gather all your friends Celebrating you have your coin in your hand again [Bridge] (Chorus) [Bridge2] But don't forsake the congregation And now's the time for visitation To lead the lost ones to salvation With God's angels in celebration (Chorus)
My life has been one enormous charade, A make believe game, A play I have played, A story I tell myself, day and night, Hidden from myself, out of sight, A game of hide and seek, While searching for something else to eat. The game, A cosmic game, A comic game, A bad joke, A puff of smoke, A laugh, A bath, A lonely path, The Game. I used to take it so seriously, Think it, feel it so real, so perfectly, So certain I that was right, That I lived in the light, So convinced that I knew the rules, So obvious I had all the tools, That I saw the truth, That I saw the light, Would win the battle, win the fight. Heard the sound of the distant drum, Calling me to battle with the devious one. The walls of my ego were high and mighty, My dreams and delusions danced in front of me, Their smooth dark surface impossible to climb, Images I swallowed and thought were mine. I made them alive, moving and real, Twist and turn like a slimy eel, Just to tell myself that I was still someone, Playing in the game and having lots of fun, Just to tell me and to tell you, That I wasn't a loser, So I wouldn't hear the words game over. Game over, Check and mate, Here's the gate, You have to take, Out of the Game, The game of shame. The game of avoiding being blue, Of dogging the bullets they shot at you, The atomic bomb they drop on your head, The monsters that they put under your bed. The game of hiding away, Live to play another day, Even if it's only make believe, The prizes in plastic, And not worth a dime, At least I have the impression that they are mine, At least I don't fell the pain, The pain of shame, In this perverted game. So that I don't feel I'm a prisoner, Tied to this post, Don't even realise that I'm only a ghost, That the truth is well hidden, On the board of the game. That the prizes are in plastic, But they are shiny and new, The paint hardly chipped, The emptiness hardly shows through, The laughing is loud, The smiles are all warm and friendly, And we are all together, Joyful and happy. The illusion is REAL, And only the mad man knows, That it's a rotten deal. more of my poems at http://labyrinthoflies.com
I'm lost hurt and angry Why did you take his life I want, No I need to know Tell me, Tell me why I deserve to know Haven't you done enough to him What'd he ever do to you He suffered his whole life Suffered more than anyone deserved Tell me, Tell me why you did it I have a right to know Why'd you let him born to them Born to worthless parents Parents who didn't care They threw him away like garbage Pawned him off on someone else Tell me, Tell me why Explain how you could do that You gave him Polio You let others treat him like disease You took away the full use of his legs You warped his hand and foot Tell me, Explain to me why I deserve to know You let others think he was crazy You let it go on for over year You didn't stop it, Why Tell me, Give me your reason Answer me God, Help me to understand You go and make matters worse You gave him Cancer You didn't give him a chance to fight back You just jerked him away from us Tell me, Tell me how How you could be so cruel How can others not question you When others do it, It's murder But when it's by your hand It's your will, Their fate Tell me, What makes you so different Your no better than the demons knocking at the door You heard me beg and plead You know I'm not afraid to die I was willing to carry it all for him I was willing to take my Daddy's place You didn't even let me say Goodbye Tell me, Tell me why I couldn't take his place Answer me God, you owe me that much Spiritual
What Is This Church All About? Is this church meant for people like me? Is this where God really wants me to be? They claim to be filled with God's spirit. When it comes to HIS truth... Can they give it? I'm sure there's many who come and attend It's more than "church on Sunday," that we must spend! We must reach out to the lost and the oppressed! After all, Christ gave us his very best! May we all preach the gospel and God's holiness! And strive to seek his awesome righteousness! Living for Jesus must be a daily walk and experience! Not simply based on our "ambitious self appearance." God isn't interested in a denomination or a title… He wants to know… Do we really believe the Bible? He's not interested in the money put in the offering plate. He wants to know; "Are you ready to enter heaven's gate?" May we strive to serve Jesus with a zeal and passion! And be filled with his holiness and compassion! May we serve Jesus from a heart of humbled confession! And making our commitment to him, our #1 possession! "Unless the Lord builds the house." They labor in vain that build it! Let's seek the power of God! May his presence completely fill it!! By Jim Pemberton
Do you believe in the things that you've always known, Can you understand the things you've been shown. Is it the visions you see that make you believe, Or is the feelings you get when you've been deceived. The pain you feel a never ending ache , Tearing your heart and soul from you every day. Time ticks slowly pounding away at you, Throbbing heart breaking and there's you can do, Must I settle for these lost and broken dreams, Because it has all the signs that what it seems. How much should a man endure to find his way, It cant possibly be like this hard for me every day. There is nothing so frustrating as being so confused, Especially when you've discovered that you've been used. I will get through this lonely phase I have no doubts, But I'm sure there will come a day I'll figure it all out. Cautiously I walk the path that's been laid before me, In faith I will continue for I know he will let me see. Life will be thrown at you in so many different ways, I will be prepared for these things for the rest of my days. Broken dreams will be the learning tree for me to grow , Living my life with Joy Happiness is what I'll always Know. tac
Drink the drink, and take the pills, lay on the medication. But your soul's forever lost to them without persistent dedication. There's things we've learned, and things we will, to decide us right from wrong. But your ears are only open, now, to a techno-logic song. Social norms have bound you tight, then cut you awf'ly deep. And still your soul beneath the surface begs of you, relief. You waded in their welcome waters, thought it nice and cool But now I'm sure you've figured out you're lost in sorrows pool So take it from who knows you best Someone who has passed this test: Before you drift out in the sea And the shore's no longer in your view, I promise that I'll bring you back And if I can't, I'll follow you. Before your legs and arms grow weak And you've passed your final tier, I promise that I'll hold your hand; I promise you I'll still be here. Before your lungs are filled with water And our souls are parted once again, I promise you that you're forgiven; I promise you I'm still your friend. Before you close your sunken eyes Inviting night to kill the day Know your bright was never slight And soon you'll see your way.
What's a sweeter gift than love? What's the greatest wealth than hope? What's a richer state than faith? It behooves you to live by your faith, And keep aflame the spirit of love, Woe befalls him who derides hope: Nothing is drearier than a life bereft of hope, And he's a lost soul who's without faith, But unfortunate is he of all who's without love. All is lost when one loses love, hope and faith!
How it must hurt you so on days like this, Walking around with a frown clutching your fist. Hearing the words that are meant to anger you, Confused you cry because there is nothing you can do. Your mind is playing tricks on you driving you to say, I hate you all and the games you play please just go away. Trusting nobody you are not sure which way you sould go, It's not real and all in your head is what you do not know. Waiting to see just what tomorrow will possibly bring, All will be perfect and you wont rememver a thing. Your thoughts they torement you almost every day, Each night asking our Lord why your life is this way. Feeling so alone thinking there is nobody who cares, But actually there is so many but you are not aware . If only you would hear me so you might begin to see, You must believe in yourself if you want to be free. You must have some faith if you are to understand , What God has in store for you and what he has planned. All the hurt and anger will soon begin to disappear , You'll stand up tall again facing life with no fear. Please remember always that you are never alone, By listening with your heart your path will be shown. TAC
Final Adieu Let another sun set, Let another flower wilt, Let another autumn cast its gloom, Let another tear role, As ye part, and bid The final adieu. Suyash Saxena St. Stephen's college
You've maddened me to the core You singed me with your ferocious fire We're opposites… we'll never integrate We can't blend with each other… Your love and I'm hate We're contrary to each other… So don't even think about Getting us back together Because without a doubt, We don't click with each other… So let us go our own way… Everything's black and white You love to torture me with your deceptive devices We're playing this chess match – let's fight! Tonight, you're going to pay the prices You're going to be deleted from my mind… I'm not the one that should pay the price You act as if you're an angel from heaven But, you're a fiend…a devil from hell...who needs your advice? Could someone unchain me from this prison? So let us prepare for that day… Fear and bewilderment build inside of our minds Taking over us…we're wasting valuable time Terror and wrath injects into our veins…time starts to unwind I'm regaining my glory…this moment feels so sublime You think you're innocent? I can sense your guilt…bleeding through you Do you live to feed me anguish? Don't deny it…you crafty demon…no wonder I feel blue Let's get ready for battle… I'll watch you decay… IT'S PAY BACK TIME . . . Taste my fury and my agony Everything's black and white You love to torture me with your deceptive devices We're playing this chess match – let's fight! Tonight, you're going to pay the prices You're going to be defeated… I scream before nightfall I close my eyes to kiss my demise I want to disappear Scratch away my desolation Wipe away my tears… Spewing out of my eyes…like a waterfall Tonight, there will be dismay There will be suffering After sundown… Failure and glory will expose like stars in the midnight sky Who will earn the crown? No one knows in silent wars – who can reveal the light in goodbye Why are we black and white? Are you too afraid to know the reason why? Everything's black and white You love to torture me with your deceptive devices We're playing this chess match – let's fight! Tonight, you're going to pay the prices You're going to suffer alone…
Father again I come to You distraught Seeking peace and understanding Sometimes hurting but always blessed I seek a life much less demanding They say there is no distance Between a loser and a winner But the gap is so much greater Between a saint and compulsive sinner I've seen pain and sorrow, hurt and anguish At times my life's been so stressed I've had joys and miracles, faith, hope and love I can't understand why I've been so blessed This year I've lost so much And almost lost my son I cry when I look back And see all the wrong I've done Father help me understand The meaning of all that I've observed Why have there been so many blessings In a life so undeserved.
Their petals are falling as their colors change It wasn't this way before but is it strange? These roses are dying in delicate sweet sorrow Will their love shed too? Or will it see tomorrow? Petals and love falling slow like soft snowflakes A little change in season is all it takes, But will these roses bloom again in a new morn? Will their love come back to greatly adorn? Will their beauty be gone forever once it fades away? Or will it come back to make everything okay? For what will the roses be worth if their beauty dies forever? Will the image and value from them permanently sever? Will the light in their eyes suddenly become dark? As their splendor and significance steadily grow stark? Or will they rise like light at the beginning of dawn? And be reborn more beautiful than a swan?
We Need God Back Into Our Schools! There are some trying to remove God from this nation! They do is under; "a church and state separation." For many years, God was taught in our schools! Until the Supreme Court took it away, with it's rules! As so many young people look to fill life's "void." They try many things that they think they'll enjoy! Rather than having God's word to obey and live by. They choose the kind of life that they will die by! Drugs, sex and violence of many perverted kinds. Are what is now filling so many young people's minds! Read the headlines! Many young people are stressed out! Yet our government can't seem to figure it out! Another shooting… Another act of violence appears! While any kind of answer seems to have disappeared! The answer is not more money to solve their problem! No matter how much the government tries to solve them! Let me give you answer. It's called "read the Bible 101!" It's time to repent to God the father, the spirit and the son! Our young people need God brought back into their life! And allow him to heal their brokenness and strife! Jesus Christ is the solution for which many are asking! Only he can give anyone a life that's everlasting! Please come Lord Jesus! And heal the wounded hearts! It's everyone one of us, that it needs to start! No court or school can separate God's love for you and me! Where will you spend your eternity? By Jim Pemberton 10/24/13
The sun does rise on this cool summer day My heart it is heavy as it sees no light Prayer to the almighty, show me the way Calling to you my beacon through all plight The reality of this sacrifice A road seldom traveled must be taken Willing I offer to pay the price This lonely soul that man has forsaken
Green bark a prism creates, Feel the pull of earth, you must. Rotates, a slime of endless hates, Can hold me not, this world's crust. Friendship's ties, isolation Deflates, Succumbs, my spaceship, to bitter rust. Mist, my soul forever permeates, Lift-off, booms the rocket's thrust. My spirit when light returns, elates, Swamps swell, swallowed hope's swirling dust. Trapped, I am, until student from fate Arrives to learn; Cloud City or bust.
Living A Lifestyle That the Bible Forbids… I know of someone living a lifestyle that the Bible forbids. He told me; "how dare anyone tell me how I should live!" He added; "what I do is no one else's business but my own." "No one can ever tell me what I do in my home!" When given scripture that clearly forbids what he's doing… It's the backward kind of life… That he's choosing! He claims Jesus is his lord, in spite of his moral depravity. It's like he has, in his body, an "infected cavity." God gave to us his word, with his holy instructions! If we don't obey, it'll lead to our spiritual destruction! It doesn't matter if 10,000 churches say that it's o.k. to do! God requires a righteous and holy way of living, for me and YOU! There are choices we all have, that are to be made! Are you going to be victorious in Christ? Or sin's slave??? Have you thought about living for Jesus? And what it cost? If we're not sacrificing our lives for him, we're forever lost! If you're one who's caught up into a life filled with perversion… May I introduce you to the blood of Jesus? And a righteous conversion? God gave to each of us, HIS rules and commandments to live by! It's either God's rules, or man's, that you'll either live or die by! Won't you choose a life that God has chosen to give you? He created mankind! It's no secret how much he loves you! The opportunity is here! It may never come again! Won't you let the power of Jesus break the bondage of sin? Jesus can set you free! Won't you let him help you? He's patiently waiting… Just because he wants to! By Jim Pemberton 10/07/13
Man's Corruption... God's Redemption! The Bible speaks of man's sin and corruption. That's why God has offered us, his redemption! The heart is desperately wicked above all things. There's an evil corruption that sin brings! The Lord searches our heart and tests our ways. He watches our lives, all of our days! There's nothing good in ourselves. Not now, or ever! Without God's mercy... We're doomed forever! But, through Christ, there's a way and a plan! He made this available to every woman and man! His gift of salvation is a message of love, made clear! The coming of Jesus Christ, draws ever so near! We can trade our sinful corruption, for a new way of living! Won't you come before the Lord, with a heart of giving? Giving our life to Jesus, is the best thing to do! By his power and grace, you can be made BRAND NEW! I'm thankful for his salvation! Mercy has been applied! Because of Christ' death on the cross… I'm now sanctified! By Jim Pemberton
Cut from the quarry of life, block by block by block towed to haloed ground cut and pasting pyramids of the mind time after time after time.... To open a seam in the sky, heart in the kings chamber the soul in the queens great lost limestone eyes peering into the afterlife, eating the gaze of god on heavens horizon but more often than not, nothing is there but a great great great wicker chair, the beast lounging beneath firecrackers in powdered eyes, igniting the burning reel of a million lost lives time after time after time.
Omniscient guy Yet he lets bad things happen How can he exist?
Your glorious emerald eyes Glisten in the moonlight Glisten in the moonlight Delight dances in the water I watch it joyfully You are set free from the cage... You're like a dove soaring in the sky You are the rain... drizzling down in ecstasy A hint of ecstasy is shown in your reflection... When you caress me... I'm relieved... From the stress that forced me in chains I knew we'd be on the brighter side of tomorrow We're glistening in the moonlight I knew we'd become candles in the heavens above us We're glistening in the moonlight For a moment, I felt your presence...your radiant with sympathy I saw at first glance the dark side of you Tonight, we'll be together and fly through the horizon We'll watch the sunset say its last goodbye... We'll wave a greeting at the moon! We glisten in the moonlight... What if I was as handsome as the lion... Roaring with pride and pure courage What if we were glistening in the moonlight? Would it bring health to our bones tonight? Would it make our heart rejoice and overflow with delight? Would we be able to survive this horrifying plight? Would we be shimmering like a candlelight? We're glistening in the moonlight... (6) Ohh...yeah...ooh yeah...ooh yeahh... We reach to the stars and hope we can trace a shooting star I feel the coolness run down my fingers... We're glistening in the moonlight You're the dandelions in the fields You're the gorgeous view that I marvel at everyday When you kiss me, I live my dreams We glisten in the moonlight In a quick moment, I sense a feeling of endless renewal I roam inside of your illuminating maze Glow on... sunshine... Glow on...sunshine... Glisten in the moonlight... Listen to the truth and rub it in You are ravishing like the sunset But you're ascending while I'm descending I feel extremely guilty I wish I could glisten with you in the moonlight You're glistening in the moonlight (6) Ohhh yeahh... oohhh yeahh... ohh yeahh You're glistening in the moonlight (4) We go our own way I wish we can glisten like the moon Glisten like the sun There's a dream concealed inside of me... Reveal your light and pour it upon me You glisten in the appealing moonlight While I'm subsiding... you're fulfilling your dreams Of gliding across the horizon You're independence... keeps on scorching with satisfaction While I'm below you... Your emerald green eyes Stared me down like a hawk... Your emerald eyes Gaze down at me genuinely... I wish we could flee together in reality... That could be a possibility To glisten in the moonlight in glee We were glistening in the moonlight (3) But that was only a dream... I'll pray that it turns into a reality We were glistening in the moonlight Now, I've misplaced my delight... Will I ever experience such a brilliant night?
We are nothing but simple pawns. We're Pushed around by others it's oh so wrong. I look around with my eyes wide open. All I see is humanity choking. We are all lost destroying humanity. The way we live is twisted insanity. Let's try something for a minute and turn to a friend. Try asking, how have you been? Or when they respond lets actually listen. Its friendship and love we're tragically missing. Why must we be in a stale mate? Stop what where doing and lose all the hate. Let's find ourselves we've been lost a while. Its imperative we do this life's not so vile. We are all humans and all of us feel. It's simple, respect and everyone heals.
Here I sit, uncertain of what lies ahead. I'm still wondering how my family will be fed. I once had a job that provided a sense of "security." Now I don't… And I have a lot of uncertainty! I have unpaid bills, and I'm not sure what to do. I've asked for help. But not sure who to turn to! I get discouraged, and feel life "pulling me down." I've tried just about every job that's in town. The dreams I had, have been shattered and smashed. At times, I feel like I'm just "a piece of trash." My wife tried to support me, the best that she can. But she doesn't know me… Or even understands! Dear Jesus… You're the only left that I haven't tried. There's been many nights I laid awake and cried! I read in the Bible, where your love for me is real! When I call on your name... There's a love I can feel! Whatever happens, please help me Lord, to trust you! Whatever tomorrow holds, may I still love you! I know that you're a foundation, that I can stand on! Jesus is a friend! That I can always depend on! Jesus, if I lose everything that I have or that I hold on to... My I always remember your faithfulness and never forget you! Here I stand… With my burdens lifted from me! It's because of Jesus! And how much he loves me! I praise HIS name! And lift my hands to the sky! He's in control now! I don't have to ask the reason why! Jesus… Please take control of my worries and desires! Above all of my problems, I lift your name up higher! By Jim Pemberton
What Does Marriage Mean to YOU? What all hear various definitions of what marriage means. Not realizing the consequences this often brings! There's often a lack of commitment and faithfulness. Many still looking for a true source of happiness! This institution, that God set up as a husband and wife. Needs to have his spirit, to guide our life! It's no wonder why, there's many falling apart! It's causing heartache and many broken hearts! No court in the land can wash away sin's dark stain. When adultery happens, things aren't the same! May we all seek to ask God to strengthen our home! He's there to help us! When we feel all alone! We need the blood of Jesus to daily cleanse us! He wants to do this! Because he loves us! Jesus remains committed, faithful and strong! His word will teach us what's right and wrong! May we seek HIS guidance and council! You'll find, that he is always most helpful! Please Jesus… Heal the broken families across this nation! For only you can provide a much needed foundation! By Jim Pemberton
God, please heal this broken soul And tell me where to go Because I don't know where to go. Into Your Arms, I give my all Because You're the Only One Who can catch my fall.
Beauty of nature Why condense it down to God? Isn't life enough?
I've watched the war from behind closed doors; Eyes too glued to close. And now knowing what's in store, there's porn no more. God's love is the only hope we know. We are forgiven because of the love that is Jesus. We are saved because of the love that is Jesus. We give our lives to the Father for we are His children and He loves us. We are loved! No matter what we've done, we are loved! Confess and ask for forgiveness; This is such a beautiful gift! Thank You God! Thank You Jesus! You forgive me! You save me! You change me! I am changed! I am new! I am renewed! I am forgiven! I am saved! I am changed! There's porn no more For God's hope is in store! There's porn no more For God's love is the hope of the world!

My heart is on Your shoulders, And You are lifting me up. With every spoken tender gesture, I fall a little farther in love.
Men of cloth Men of faith Against all evils, lost hopes Choose the light and will of the gods They stay Where all others flea They reflect upon lost causes Yet give of heart and sweat to the poor They are not brave hearts They are but kind souls To the last breathe Weep not for these heroes The village adores and praises For kindness transcends religious teachings To cure and heal is god's gift And natures way of life eternal Pascal's wager in the minds of a few As old men contemplate Wildflowers who by the grace of god, receive the sun So in fate, planted, they stay, they do not run They are not the last or only They are but the hope of what can be They reflect the goodness we all desire In love of mankind Des hommes et des dieux, dedicated to the Trappist monks who lived in harmony with the largely Muslim population of Algeria, until seven of them were kidnapped and assassinated in 1996 during the Algerian Civil War.

I can act insane But DO NOT Make me feel worthless I belong in God's family He will bless my future generation Don't punish me for Being myself – Don't envy my glee I can act like an Adult, but I'd Prefer to have joy… Not stress… That piles upon us in our Everyday lives Being childlike is A rare beauty – No one prizes it… No one came across it… In this lifetime… I can laugh all day I can make you smile If you'd accept my Childlike dreams of mine Don't treat me like a sick swine Renew my young heart Give me the ability To kill the old man… I have my place in God's family He'll be adored and glorified We'll exchange prayers and hugs By my future generation I beg of you – Don't kill my childlike mentality I'll behave myself… I'm positively sure that I'll make you happy I'll still have pieces of a child in me And pass it on to my future generation…
I don't have all the pieces together; This puzzle is just too much, But God already has it figured out As He is solving this from above.
A Very Inviting Temptation! I remember of a particular situation. I was offered a very "inviting" temptation. The situation I was in... I didn't belong! And lost any sense of "right and wrong." At first... I felt no guilt or shame. And brought embarrassment to my family's name. I tried to explain this to my wife and kids. I heard; "Dad... please... no more fibs!" The Godly principles were "tossed to the side," As the sin inside caused arrogance and pride. Soon, all in my life that truly mattered... Was gone! My life was empty and shattered! I was sorry for all of the problems I caused! This time... I took a moment to pause. I cried to God to rescue me from my sin. I confessed! Would God help me once again? I read in the Bible of Jesus' grace and love! This time the help I needed had to come from above! I asked him for a fresh and brand new start. He removed the stain from a broken heart. He restored to me the joy I once had. I'm so blessed! Jesus has made me glad! Jesus is the reason I'm here today! I LOVE HIM more than words can say! By Jim Pemberton
Mirrror, mirror and the wall, who is the biggest clown in the world. The lost soul in a fantasy where the games brings you into a state of passion and pain, which eventually will drive you insane. She is affected by the perfect outer everybody wants. Who is the perfect bimbo on the red carpet and the catwalk. Behind her mask, who is this "role model girlfriend" that she wants to be alike. Who is she, tell her! The world is created in an illusion of the perfect exterior, creating fear of being different, or not to be like the "other woman" on the catwalk, with the false appearance created by others. Don't walk alone, and hide your skin and bones, can see her on the screen, do hear her scream? She is the one being pushed and change to the clown, but inside, the clown is dead, the laughter is gone, behind this mask, she is only human, a person who feels like you and me, it's the masqueradeball. She feels like the fool lost of the game. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the biggest clown in the world, what about to morrow, when the dream becomes reality?
Pioneering through time on the backs of others As life was lived in two separate forms of vain Leaving us with Choice and Faith for the future May have all their lives been worth all the pain For now they are trying to take away our Liberty To bring a demise and fall to our Faith To spread an evil throughout the whole world That will fill the land with a bitter hate Without our Faith we will have no Liberty And without our Liberty we will have no Choice Once our Faith and Liberty are both taken away We will then no longer have any Voice Faith and Liberty were what built this land To fullfill the whole world with its needs Take those two things out of Gods plans And he will bring this world to its knees With those two things this world is a playground That we all live on with our lives each day Take away those two things from all our lives And this world may soon see its last days FAITH...Something that should never be lost or taken away LIBERTY...Something nearly already lost and forgotten today We all better keep watch....Before it's to late... Dan Kearley:12-7-12
i could sit here. day in and day out thinking of the most proper way to let the ink in the pen spill out but as of late im feeling prehistoric so much weight on my shoulders and i dont know where to go resuscitate my soul look back up and head to the goal so much evil around. i feel like the devils workin double shifts just to bring me down. on the road to redemption you can take a seat up in the front section just so you can feel the emotions in this electric notion i've done a lot of things that hide the halo let it all collaborate when i medicate now look at me, mind workin like plato formulate a new path to take so i can maneuver through all the mistakes we all know we cant change what we've already made but we can change the next thing we create startin to sound like a serenity prayer 5 steps till im thirty and the twenty four before i was never a player found out when the lights came back on im strictly a lover its the strongest drink for your soul, when its thirsty so careful how much you intake or be left hungover even worse be the one she ran over i dont mean to come off like im too deep but the obstacles made there way through just to scrape through and leave me suffocating just for me to re-invent a new way to breathe, re-decorating is your life so complicated you rather wet up your pillows and revoke from the life you live just think of your kids mourning theyll never see that pretty face in the morning any more cheer your self up you got a lot to live for your a gem and im that friend trynna appraise the value that you dont see inside of you just another day for him goin about searchin wonderin what his purpose is running in circles till he found a way through all the turbulence
The lost souls of avatar rain to tarrence of clouds of ancient sand quick to be release, small fiction thoughts of armagaddon, bet yet the fight for ever thing apolocapse yet be seen, sand of miss use sanity cant tell this from time glass, b-e-w-i-t-c-h-,but if a man is made mad it much be sanity, if god thought is of us, then in life reflection the summon decision rightious of apathy, i can hear hills rummoring, so if we should suffer with him why shouldnt we regin with him. i sit and prayer for miss religa's of the world, no shame in man prayer we should except our faith, inquencely. jesus was saw as predestiantion and as we christians, we follwer with out thoughts, we should never fear the light or step near it, ita faith we should accept as in the or big bang theory, there are a beginning and end to every story, thought of heaven shiney with in question with in my mind, answer of faith in god know the false hopes are among us but they still preach and wringle between the sheets. and with in following words will this be a lost age, of a coveant or legion of promise, most dearest of all thoughts, heaven is watch (Lost prayer)
God made all people But some better than others? Stop being silly.
The wind blew events all over the place. Intense emotions and it gave chase. Lightning lighting to show us the sky. People try to sleep and not cry. Wisping by the wind keeps us awake. The time trying to sleep the storms take. Chills in everyone gives all shiver. The clouds surrounded by moonlight is silver. Heavenly prayers that the rain will stop. The flood stopped a car the person in it was a cop. People have seen such devastation. The road that people made was week in creation. Rivers near by was over flowing. Trees that were there was not showing. By the hour it claimed many. My father woke up and did not see any. Floating by was a boat. Keeping people above water and a float. My father kept a canoe. That some day we would use it, that he knew. Time to paddle up and down the street. The rain water kept getting on our seat. It was so dark after the moon was behind the cloud. Still the noise of thunder still covered the ears loud. The smell of moist water never seem to go away. My brothers seem to still sleep anyway. My head was bobbing up and down. I was so tired that I could not hear a sound. The wind blew back and fourth. It seems that my mom and dad paddle their worth. Till all the people we saw with grace. Help us out with embrace. The time was so late at night. Everyone was so sleepy and losing sight. The fight with the weather was so hectic. The feelings of energy was electric. Losing to such natural disaster is hard to understand. When people working hard to block the river with bags of sand. With hard workers like my mom and dad. They make things happen that is not bad. Rough with weather they experience more than ever. Leaders they are they are very clever. From the night light of street lights to the morning glow. The wind did not stop so. Bringing in more clouds that ill. The people who were still tired still had will. The rush of water and waves blasting push the wall side. Pushing and the force brought water inside. The battle of our hour was getting long. Backup people came to aid us was strong. Rested they were to keep everyone with hope. The people stopped the water with the strength of rope. Heavy rain and loss of homes bring people together. It is kind of sad that this was the only time to gather. Chaos comes happiness how true. This is why we are human that gives us a clue. It is our nature to keep rain falling. To know when it is time for our calling. The winds bring such pain and sorrow. That is why rain sometimes fallow.
The night air made her feel tired As she looked out side all the fences were wired In the distance she hears crowds yelling As she was to young to know they were rebelling Father she asked where are we going? Mother said to keep quiet and keep walking Mother yelled in the night air Father gave out a blank stare They yelled run my princess run as far as you can As that moment past her little feet pushed off and she ran She ran to the nearest bushes and crawled into it to hide She never smelled the air before as if someone just had died As she lay on the ground under a bush she heard A loud yell in the distance almost to absurd My name is Angelica, I am just a young girl who does not know Angelica just wants to live her life with help to grow Angelica did not know what just happened she notice a figure in the distance A little person just like her, a strong but gentle presence Angelica saw the people who were shouting run off toward the voice She was scared and she knew that she had to make a choice Angelica fragile state was so confused and lost She knew it will take burden on her at a cost But in that moment of quietness a young but strong voice called out Can you trust me just because? will you come with me with no doubt My Story Telling Together In A Strange World
Is It God We Trust? Or Leave In the Dust? As our courts remove God from this great nation. We are left with a confused and lost generation! As God is taken away from our public schools. A huge tide of immorality is what "rules." The Bible is often mocked and discarded. It was on it's principles this country was started! Just about anything of God seems to get scorned. So many "rush" to worship many ungodly forms. As God's name is often tossed and thrown out. We tend to forget what HE is all about! Too often, his plans for living are tossed and abused. No wonder, there's many who are lost and confused! As people forget God and worship the fallen creature. They look to themselves and "glorify" their features. Many ignore God, and get involved in deep addictions. And with this, come disease, heartache and afflictions! As God looks and sees this nation "bleeding." It's his righteousness, that we need to be seeking! If we would humble ourselves, he would hear our prayer! He loves all of us! And he really does care! Won't you come to HIM, And invite him in? Won't you allow him to be your master and friend? He brings strength and nourishment to the soul! It's only in him that we can be made whole! By Jim Pemberton
There's a Web of Temptation and Sin! There's a web of temptation and a lot of sin… That brings slavery and a strong bondage within! Throughout this land, there's an evil surge! While many lives, seem to be getting "submerged!" Being submerged, into a life, that many believe in. They become perverted, but want all to receive them! The "love and acceptance," that many desire. Puts them on a tightrope! A very thin wire! As the web of temptation and sin begin to grow. It brings a bondage that damages the soul! They may want to have "love and acceptance." But in their hearts, needs to be a godly repentance! May the holiness of a righteous God be stirred! That all will come back, to the truth of his word! His son Jesus, came to the cross! He bled and died! That through him, our lives can be totally sanctified! Only the power of God, can bring a needed restoration! He gives to one and all… A heavenly invitation! Whosoever will… Come now! And accept him! Won't you take the time, to really know him? Don't allow the web of life to destroy and overcome you! Come to Jesus now! He really does LOVE YOU! By Jim Pemberton
Thank You Jesus For Changing Me! Jesus reached down to my life and changed it! His love touched my soul and "rearranged" it! He brought to me his mercy and care. That I may share his goodness to people everywhere! He restored unto me the joy of my salvation! And brought to my life a heavenly invitation! He gave to me everything that I needed!

Drowning in the pool of anguish…oh…oh… I'm venturing into the forest…and I want to hear the words seep out Release these aching sorrows…I worry my soul's drying out… like a drought… Drain out the fluids from my heart It's gouging me…bruising me to the core… **chorus** Embrace the light…embrace the midnight sky… You fall in my arms – you die so warm Shed me more sun to lift up my spirits From the…underground…and release me – I'm breathless I'm drowning in doubt…ooh… oh… Remember me…I'm falling…into my swirling fate…hanging on the roots Strangling my heart…distorting in my veins… I'm bleeding so softly – cut out the wood… Splintering me…I'm shattering… and I'm falling in the abyss Bring me more radiance from my candle light Warp me up in bliss…don't let the midnight sky…don't take away my delight From the…ocean…and save me—save me…oh… oh… I'm failing *chorus* I'm drowning in regret…ooh..oh… Hit the bull's eye in my heart…embrace the light And don't leave me hanging in the abyss…hand me a kite! Save me before I fall apart…shut out the night And don't let the dusk escape us… I must confess… I must confess… I hate to see you abandon the light… But I'm not the one to save you from the night Ooh…ohh… *Chorus* Splintering lies fill your heart I want to kiss it goodbye… But you've mastered it like a piece of art I want to kiss the abyss and die… Dry… I wanna touch the sky with my whole soul But I'm failing and the end of time has taken its toll Tainted sorrow…swims around me…I dwell where the waters depart But the anguish still swarms in my heart… I'm failing…my heart stops beating And my desires are fleeting From my grasp And the monsters laugh at me…as I fall… *chorus* Embrace the midnight sky…catch me…catch me… As I fall in death's arms…I die so cold And your heart is made of gold Untangle the darkness & take away the nightmares Answer our prayers & block out the night Erase the heartaches & wipe away our tears Unravel Your words of life & delight
Peace surrounds me on this day in May as I let destiny have it's own way I smile down on whom I am made grandly by all my yesterdays I will live again and all my hopes and dreams shall not shatter I am destiny's lost prodigal child, May has been a source of pain for me Seeming to harm me with it's innocent days hidden in coy smiles, yes it lied many times but not today, the day after yesterday beginning all my tomorrows We can not always live in the growing fields of flowers picking them and hanging them up to dry somehow in making something beautiful we forgot them and they did not dry, yet died We can not always hold onto our flowers some do not fare well to the process of living dry so today is not tomorrow nor yesterday but it will always be lost amongst some field of flowers No garden to train, yet sheer joy in what is natural for miles as far as the eye can see it is spring and I pat my body down, I lived through the night yes, I am alive, and did not die, as they live their destiny Yet, my flowers have no scent, and not many want them , but what glory can be found in the ordinary flower? the garden of no surprise with many needs to thrive, none, for there is nothing grander than a flower growing in fields wild Next year, it will spread it's seeds in the wind and prosper so much grander it will be each year there after, yes, growing wilder and my prayer is no one will cut them down or poison them ever-after yet someone will love the flowers growing wild tomorrow and the day after May they become a heart's desire, and glory will forever remain in those alive, and wild but never dried, or tamed, for how can we say nice things about something, we set aside to wither and die, in shame and pain, that should always be allowed to grow wilder, to wither and die not tomorrow or the day after will edit when I get back home. SORRY GUYS!

Satan HATES everything that God loves! He tries to counterfeit everything he does! He goes about as a lion, seeking whom to devour! He comes after us! But God alone has the power! Satan will twist God's truth, into a corruptible lie! He has one mission! And that is to see you die! He wants to enslave you into deep addictions! And bring into your life, unneeded afflictions! He has one purpose, ambition and goal… Is to seek eternal damnation of your very soul! Jesus has come! His TRUTH can set you free! He has come that you may have life abundantly! Won't you accept him? You can overcome! Through the shed blood, and power of God's son! All glory to Jesus! All praise to HIM on high! He is your protector! He is El-Shaddai! Won't you allow God's love to bring you salvation? He offers it to right now! A heavenly invitation! God's love is stronger than Satan! HE reigns supreme! He can help you to overcome, the lies the devil brings! By Jim Pemberton
There's a lot in life, that I don't understand! And a lot of wickedness throughout this land! A lot of heartache and misery, is what I'm seeing! Any kind of commitment, seems to be disappearing! Being faithful to anything, seems to be of the past. My lives seem to be falling apart… And fast! Any principles of Godly living, seem to be ignored. So many appear to be, "complacent and bored." I often wonder what God must be thinking. When it seems like this whole world is "sinking!" I've decided to come to Jesus! And really pray! That people will really listen to what God has to say! "What shall the righteous do, if the foundations are destroyed?" Very soon, many of our "freedoms," will not be enjoyed! Please, dear Jesus, come and heal our broken nation! Help us all to confess our sins! And accept your salvation! Please come and bring your peace and love within! That we may seek the living God! Once again! God is our only hope! It's in him, that we're strong! It's in his arms of mercy, that we all belong! Please God… Come and touch us with your healing! It's only in you, that we have a true meaning! By Jim Pemberton
Stuck in the prison of my own life, I dodge behind these walls I built. And inside is a demon covered in guilt And shame so thick you can't see his eyes. God, please help me to see No matter what, You will always love and be with me. Thank You Father for everything. In Jesus' Name, We pray. Amen.
Are You Ready to Meet Jesus? One day soon, there'll be A meeting In the air! God's people will gather, from everywhere! Jesus will return,, for you and me! He wants to take us all! For eternity! People will be there! Both young and old! Being with Jesus forever! On streets paved with gold! When he comes, no one knows! When he does, may we be ready to go! Live you life, as if He came right now! One day, before him, Every knee shall bow! May we live a Godly life, in everything! As we look forward to, the return of the king! By Jim Pemberton
I had a dream that I walked behind a man in white cloth - so gentle, so kind; he told me his name with his fatherly voice and asked me to follow, though it was my choice He talked in stories which made me think, while he told large crowds to take of his drink; he walked among beggars, cripples, and thieves, and he only asked us that we all just believe I watched his miracles bring back the dead, and I wept as they shoved thorns upon his head; I watched him be beaten, spit on and cursed, and on the day he died - the clouds rained with a burst I cried because I had lost my very dear friend, although, he told me that it was not the end; I didn't understand this man, this begotten son was the way to eternal life - for me and everyone I walked alone without him there, and felt so lonely because my soul did care; this gentle man they did kill for me, so I could live on and really be free When I awoke from my dream I had a plan, to live my life - to be a better man; for what I learned from this only one is that He is truly God's only son I know my friend will always be, even at times when I can't always see; for a life is lost - without the One, a kind and gentle man we call the Son.

We're Just Sinful Human Beings! All of us are just sinful human beings! Scripture says; "the heart is sinful above everything!" Even if we try to hide and wash our sins away… Wickedness in our heart, is there, each day! God made Adam and Eve, with perfection! But sin crept in, like a deep and wicked infection! He put them in the Garden of Eden with a choice. It was up to them to listen to his voice. They had all they could want, with one instruction. Disobeying this, would lead to their destruction. Satan took the form of a snake to tempt their mind. And their disobedience affected all of mankind! Since that time, mankind has needed atonement! Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse you! This very moment! Only his blood can wash away sin's dark stain! It can only be found when one calls on Jesus' name! We've all sinned and fallen short of God's glory! But wait! This doesn't have to be the end of the story! God and all of his angels in heaven, are waiting for YOU! The love and blood of Jesus, can make you BRAND NEW! His love, for our sins, is what he offers in exchange! You can be forgiven! And forever totally changed! This opportunity is for you, to reach out and take! Won't you do it now? For eternity's sake??? By Jim Pemberton
Never fear that you walk alone As God is walking by your side He's always there to give you strength To comfort and to show he cares. Remember God is with you every day His light is there to be a guide for you Let your heart be touched by his love Open up your heart to allow his love through. When you're lost in the storm and feel very scared Don't lose your faith God is there watching over you Gods guiding light will come shining from above Beaming like the sun's rays embracing you in love At the end of the storm, the skies will be golden The larks will be singing high in the trees Reach deep inside to find the strength to carry on Allow your fears to fly away with the breeze. Remember now when days seem too dark It's impossible to put a smile on your face Never give up because there is always hope Deep inside your restless troubled heart. Find a way to let faith back in your life again Be rid of all the days of bitterness and pain. Always walk with your head held high With your faith you'll never feel lost again.
A serpent underneath blue sky, in shade of man, in twinkle of an eye, above brick wall, in the structure, at the floor, venom of white dove; contaminated food, undrinkable water, misguided youth, pregnant daughter, unfaithful father and hateful son, mothers do pray while we walk through Babylon; on teli and in the press, on top shells, price none the less, in bedroom and at your door.. dawn of a new day seemed to be dark, after all.
Forgive me Father for I have sinned, for being born with you to begin, its been a long time since my last confession, I don't wont your blessing, lies and resurrection. I don't believe in love, I don't believe in faith, cant stand my own kind, humble in hate, I don't believe in truth, I don't wont to be saved, erase me from your list, buried, unmarked, graved. Abused as a child, bloodstains of a man, only shovel awaits, forgive me if you can.
As sin and perversion often become integrated… So many lives and families are being "disintegrated." Many are being driven by sin's temptation force… It's no wonder much of this country is way "off course." The morality and values that once made a great nation. Are evaporating…. Leading to a "spiritual separation." Love, honor, and respect of God… Is often a "thing of the past." Anything of God seems to be disappearing FAST! God is our only hope! And him alone! Only he can bring healing to our broken homes! He's the answer to this wounded nation, that bleeds! It's only God that can meet all of our needs! He's our provider… The great: "I am!" Won't you reach out to him? And give him your hand? Why not give him a chance? And allow him in? A brand new life for you… Is waiting to begin! May we allow God's holiness and love to reach down into our hearts… Asking; "Lord please forgive our sins!" Is a good place to start! By Jim Pemberton
Jesus Is the Best Thing That Happened to Me! Jesus is the best thing that happened to me! He loves me so much! It's plain to see! Jesus has provided everything I need, to get tough! If it wasn't for him… I don't know what I'd do! Jesus has come, that I might life so abundantly! He's given me all I need… Most assuredly! He does for me, what nothing in this world, could ever do! And completely understands, everything I go through! He brings his peace, hope and a blessed satisfaction! I can have fellowship with him! A "heavenly interaction!" He can restore what the enemy has stolen and taken away! He brings a true meaning! And has changed me today! I'm very thankful! For all that he's provided! I'm going to live for him! This has already been decided! Thank you Jesus! My lord and my best friend! You've done so much for me! Over and over again! I praise your name! And want you to know… I'll tell others of your goodness… Wherever I go! By Jim Pemberton
i was clueless confused lost hurt i was all tht a girl shld never be, you showed me the world, made me happy, but in reality you used me, i was blind thought you were on my side believed you when you filled my head with lies.......... but despite that I still shine i was caught up believed you when you spoke those 3 words to me, fell head over heels for you, i lost me inside of you, thought you cared for me, thought you were there for me, but things aren't always what they seem...... but despite that I still shine I remember tears, tears rollin down my eyes, i remember the ache of fear that I would lose you, thinkin it was my mistake, I remember givin you my all, that was my biggest fall…. Trustin you sent me affliction, cause my mother warned me but I never listened……. but despite that I still shine You the snake, two faced, put me in shame, dragged me thru pain, but no matter what I still called your name, you made me feel wanted, made me feel loved , my insecurities was the death of me you scared me, cause when the pain dies i'll be left with the memory........... but despite that I still shine
To be absolutely certain To be firmly convicted in principle and belief Is the scariest feeling of all But, like all feelings, it never lasts The conviction stays, but the mind wanders Deep into the zones of ostensible comfort Where it rests merely to frenzy Into the streets of opposition Straight into the absolute wrong But the feeling never lasts It returns to the minute certainty The mind becomes determined in the conviction it has embraced And the best feeling rises above the initial fear: Gratefulness 6-29-13
Read the Bible and the words that are said. Times of trouble and tribulation are ahead! All one has to do is read the book of revelation. To read about this world and this nation! Days of wickedness and evil that abounds.. Shall very soon. Come "crashing to the ground!" For our sin, there's a price that has been paid! Many have become sin's servant and slave! Many will not escape God's judgment and wrath! They've chosen the wrong direction and path! Right now... There's a path and a way to "escape!" Please do it right now! Before it's too late! The right path to take, is through Christ alone! He must be the lord of your heart and home! Jesus alone, can bring hope to your soul! He'll never leave you! Is what he wants you to know!

Stimulating ideas pop into your head You need a pen…you need a piece of lined paper It looks like you're outtah luck…no wonder you're drowning in dread You need a shoulder to lie your head down for a moment's rest… You need a helper…to aid you while you struggle emotionally… I'm not trying to irritate you purposely Try with all your might…try your best To stay optimistic and fervent I believe that you'll pass the test Be upbeat, kindhearted and jubilant I appreciate the words you wrote on my notebook… Sometimes, I feel like leftovers left on the counter… I'm a rotten mess – you're leaving me as if I'm an uninteresting book Sometimes, I feel like a coward – I don't mean to bother… But, you're like no other . . . You're like a mat – you're constantly stepped on… I'm like YOUR unwanted tool – I stepped on you and Pushed your buttons I accused you of being the fool When, in fact, I'm the fool by your side… You're drifting…pushing me aside… I'm writing words of truth though – Expressing how much I'm fond of you I esteem your presence Glowing with glee At times, you do say things without thinking I'm the god of distress – You're leaving me breathless Cutting me down like I'm some decaying tree You don't see how much you make me… Guilty for your crimes Taking the blame about the hundredth time At times, I feel that I'm awkward when I'm around you You're like a backpack – you carry everyone's weight… You're like a sponge – soaking in our stress I'm a distraction to you – you're wasting valuable time…but don't hesitate I'm writing words of self-centered feelings – logic doesn't exist… But these feelings aren't as bad as committing a crime These feelings come and go – I just had to confess I didn't mean to screw up your progress… Hey, if you need a few sheets of paper to right on, Use me like a notebook instead…and write with all your might It seems as if you read me…like a book that drags on and on Use me as your tool of relaxation… and read me all night When you wrote those words on my notebook… It made my day…you're such a delight Like reading a fascinating, classic book
The crowd pushes as your soul pulls, You along your path to obscurity, Where the light is engulfed, By the clouds of eternity... Timidly you lag behind, Lost in the eddies of time, And slowly you trudge, To the same old grind... But for the one who sees, Dreams in splendored color, The seeker holds the keys, As one searches for the other... Sparks of desire flood your mind, While the cold dark streets glow, From burnt embers lost in time, And mounds of dashed hopes below... You thrash and flail in utter desperation, And you need that which can not be known, Unless one is seasoned by your imagination, When the dream is passed and the hope is grown... Then it comes to you in a flash, Love must be shared to exist, So to others your hope is passed, And your light escapes the mist... The seeker surveys the vast multitude, To find the source of the light, Where the gift of hope was shared and grew, Piercing the thin veil of night... And to these dreamers is dared, A glimpse of wisdom anew, For you who love and share, A saga awaits you... Prepare to finally see, The source for finding purpose, In all that you do and can be, Lies in what you can do for us... For selfish deeds trap us, And kindness offers you much more, Once you apply this to practice, Blinding light will pour forth... And as the secret is shared, Love rekindles the awakenings, Among all those lost and scared, Wonder and awe the new day brings... Remember the grandness of this tale, The next time you find yourself lost, For what you offer is the holy grail, So much hope... for so little cost! My Gull Wheels On!
God Is Good! All the Time! God is good! All of the time! I'm so thankful, he's a friend of mine! His goodness reaches beyond the stars! He's always here! Never too far! His goodness reaches, beyond our understanding! And gives life freely! And it's everlasting! His goodness brings comfort, Peace, and hope! And helps me down, life's "slippery slopes!" Please, dear God, May your goodness flow! And bring much needed strength to my soul! Your goodness always strengthens my spirit! Help me to be willing, to freely share it! By Jim Pemberton
When you dont look at me, With other things to do when you are busy. You seldom turn around and smile You are with me, but just for a while. I think of what will make me sad Of things which ever make me mad. And isolate myself away from you, Wandering around what next to do. And a long wait, a peek from the corner of my eye; Feeling the pain grow, as to forget I try. And then when it is already too late, I notice your concerned stride past the gate. You cuddle me, like a baby you hold, Trying to reassure your love pre-told. To get you near me, look at me, I could die; And that is one reason I love to cry...
He says he loves me then he says he loves me not He loves me today but by tomorrow I'm forgot He runs from my love but returns wanting more I guess I'm to blame for letting the traveler explore, See travellers just wander and are never here to stay They admire the scenery and enjoy the display They tour the land and ride the attractions So memories become their only subtractions, They search for an experience that is what they yearn The condition once they leave is none of their concern! So how can the land be devoted and true When travellers come and go out of the blue. The present is now and where he's travelled to, But the past he calls home so he must return soon Most likely just a visit although time can only tell, But what he lusts is in this land and he knows it very well He may call that place home but its this land that he seeks Travellers on a mission never realize until they hit their peek He continues to damage this land down to its core So what's left to offer when their is nothing left in store? The resources were depleted and the land left bare He comes and goes as he pleases it doesn't seem fair; See this land has been abused time and time again Seeds that were planted, were means to an end But pleasure and satisfaction was always accomplished Because this land provided where the homeland was disadvantaged! But despite the history and despite the trust Submit to his urges is something he must. So this time around his departure is permanent Lack of faith and loyalty was the final determinant. The damage he caused cannot be rendered, So his visitation rights he has surrendered! So leave this land I say and never look back This is the path you chose I hope you can stay on track, Cause travellers have memories of the lands they have stained But the land only remembers the one that remained!
I did it again; I need forgiven. Will He still forgive me even though I've fallen before? I've fallen into these same sins countless times before; I still haven't learned my lesson. I am an ignorant hypocrite. Am I still forgiven?
Why are you so devilishly addicting? I come back from you, It looks like I'm on drugs: High and drunk, Out of my mind. The demons inside us braid hairs Until we're peaceful meadows apart, Nuclear wars together.
Looking back on fading photographs Of years gone by Since those days the world has changed But not for you and I The years that you have given me Such precious moments shared And never have you lost the love for me You once declared The house that we have made our own The fires we walked through Through ups and downs, through tears and fears Our love remained so true The road was never easy But never did we stray The mountains and the hills that we have climbed To find our way The lonely days and nights I stood by you When you were gone We sacrificed, believed in love And always we stood strong But if I ever lost your love My world would cease to be I need you by my side For without you, there'd be no me...
As A Parent, I Want My Kids to Serve God! As a parent, I'm trying the best that I can…. Though there are things that I don't understand! I remember my parents teaching me right and wrong. And taught that God's laws certainly belong! I've tried to share these values with my kids too… The choices they've made, and the things they do! When situations in life, seem to have changed… I know that my heavenly father remains the same! I think about what in life, to my kids, I have given… And pray they'll serve God all the days they're livin'! Even though I've failed and stumbled along the way… I hope I've taught my kids how important it is to pray! This family that God gave to me, has grown over a period of time. I'm thankful for the opportunity to call them "mine." I pray they'll seek God's guidance! Wherever they go! May the word of God strengthen and nourish their soul! And as my kids get older, and they move out on their own… May they seek God's love and protection over their home! I pray that my children will give God their very best! May they serve him daily! And let him take care of the rest! I'm trying my best, as a parent, to trust Jesus and believe! His goodness, in our lives, is what we need to achieve! By Jim Pemberton
My ego is never enlightened to my own selfishness I think that is a sense of meaninglessness Now days to help someone it is very imperative, That for God I use my talents to be creative To bring peace I want to sing this song, spreading joy so sing along I want to dance to give homeless children a chance To spread the gospel I want to preach, I'm God's disciple; lost souls I want to save and reach I love to write to motivate and inspire, to help spark your spirit inside on fire In this violent and cruel world we shall overcome With the help of others this too shall be done I will walk the path of my choosing, and if any other (soul) shall join me I will share my allotted portion of love that this universe has granted me, but Jesus made me free The filth and hate in our hearts is constantly tearing us apart; Our selfishness and pettiness has made us blind Have we all lost our minds? Sometimes our own corruption is our own understanding In our lives when we are feeling pain that is more then we can bear, I thank God for keep me standing "What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world, is and remains immortal." Albert Pine
Rob me of my purity, But once again it's all my fault; Fell into the trap of false promises Because I pressed play instead of pause.
Refreshing feel of identifying with music in my life, The mother's voice still echoes sweet in all life's strife's. She taught me to walk, run, dance and sing, My mother still stands strong in love and vigor in my life. Kindergarten, the start of knowledge in life, Where Mini, Lakshmy, Susan, Shoba and Meera, Still shines as star's in my day- to-day life, Keeping those memories and blooming together. School days, are times that stays vivid in mind, Friends that evoked passions of love still impress, Susan Bindu, Jaya, Brinda, and Manju remained firm, Even when life made new meanings,connections endured. College saw, mixed platter, though women who stayed in unit More in day- to-day life in Bindu, Geeta, Asha, Raji and Vinith, Patterns of Lost love, admiration's, hero worship,list stands long, However, for me it was a distressing lullaby of hearts . Life showed me, women stand strong above all As I carry endless power of strength, mind and heart, when I finds myself and knows where I remain in life! So I stand tall and represent myself as women. Love never lost its footprints along the line, I am a woman in Love,being loved and cherished I knows deep in my heart that i am contend, Hearts grew deep in love, known love and in Love. I knew it right from the start, a moms heart Holding my finger tight, I cradle you in my arms Your smile and showed all your charms. Heavens showered me the "Mom', role in prologue.
UNSUPPORTED CODE What Will I Do? Where Will I Go? What will I do? Where will I go? Which direction I'll take… I don't really know! In just a moment, I lost all, that I worked hard to get… I'm thinking of "letting go." But haven't done it yet… The things I held so close... Have all disappeared. It happened so fast. It's kind of "weird." Those I call my friends, don't really know what to say. Most of them shake their heads, and walk away! I've cried myself to sleep many days and nights. It's like someone has "turned off the lights." The only one I know, that I can turn to, is Christ alone! I need him to heal my broken heart and home. Dear Jesus, will you take some time to help me out? I know that helping people is what you're about! Please help me to pick up the pieces that are scattered! Help me to focus on the things in life that really matter! I need to give you, all of my focus and attention! I need your word to show me some clear direction! You're the one that I always need to hold on to! I need to do this, and to completely trust you! Thank you Jesus for listening and answering my prayer! I'm thankful that you're someone who really cares! Thank you for restoring my life, that has been "up-ended." With your love, my heart has been healed and mended! By Jim Pemberton
Now I'm just a failure Too afraid to make a mistake. I've already been there, Stuck in a route that leaves no breaks. What is Your plan for me Father? At once I thought I knew. Now I'm disillusioned; Please bring me back to You.
There was the night that I lost my love Then I blamed it all on me I broke into tears It's felt like I've been lost for years This is a wishful love song But I feel lonely all night long This is a wishful love song And I'll sing this all night long I wish so much That I could give a girl my heart I want to remember what it feels like To give a girl my all This is a wishful love song But I feel lonely all night long This is a wishful love song And I'll sing this all night long Sometimes I wonder what I did wrong And why I'm not that strong I'm asking God what I can do To find a girl that will make me new This is a wishful love song But I feel lonely all night long This is a wishful love song And I'll sing this all night long I know I can't fall too fast And have another broken aftermath But I want to fall in love And show her God above This is a wishful love song But I feel lonely all night long This is a wishful love song And I'll sing this all night long
For many years... My life has been an embarrassment! Filled with hopelessness and discouragement! Many things I thought I had enjoyed... Have left in me... A large and empty void! Many nights, I would cry myself to sleep. Knowing the hole my life was in, was very, very deep. Then one day, I called out to God! I wasn't sure if he'd listen! My family, my old church, I was now missin'. My family prayed for me for so many years. I often brought them embarrassment and tears. God... I tried everything else... I want to come back to you! I need you now Jesus! I really do! Please come into my heart, and cleanse me within! Set me free from all addictions and sin! I know that you will never let go of my hand. My whole life, on your word, I shall now stand. Only you can satisfy the emptiness in my soul! I am now complete, satisfied, and made whole! By Jim Pemberton
Bedroom door is closed; I'm feeling so alone. Even though I'm laying bed, I don't feel like this is home. Even though I'm laughing with my friends, I still feel alone Even in this quiet, perfect home. Lord, we need You. Thank You. In Your Name, We pray. Amen.
Perhaps you feel like your life is "spiraling down" It's as if everything's come "crashing to the ground" Is your lie filled with A lot of apprehension? Just living day by bay with a lot of tension? Maybe you're at a "low point" and very "distraught." In life's circumstances… you feel trapped and caught. If you feel confused… Like you're in a "trance…" God's word says to TRUST HIM, in every circumstance! God's here to pick you up,\ when you stumble! He's always do it, And never grumble! If life's dealt you a bad hand, don't try name it! Jesus loves you so much! It's hard to explain it! All of heaven invites you to Invite Jesus as your lord! An eternal life with him, can be your great reward! By Jim Pemberton

Let my soul praise you my Lord.... When all those stars in the sky will lose its shinning When the moon in the sky will lose the brightness When the sun in the sky will lose his power of light But still let my soul praise you my Lord in every way When the gardens of Eden has lost its beauty When the mountains has lost its valley of rivers When the ocean has lost its picturesque blue But still let my soul praise you my Lord ever more When all those happiness have shattered into the drain When all those darkness of evil will brings its pain When all those sorrows has thrown out into the bin But still let my soul praise you my Lord forever Ravi Sathasivam / Sri Lanka Copyright @2008 Ravi Sathasivam
I saw a bird fall from the sky, I watched a grown man as sit on the corner with his only possessions left in his life as he cried…I meet a girl who had never seen a sun rise, because she was blind. I watched as a mother as she held her only son as he died, he had been the victim of a drive by. I meet a man who had lost both his legs because he had been hit by a drunk driver as he cross the street...every time he would think of it, he would grind his teeth. I meet a man who was once a Priest who had he lost his faith in God because of a thief…With all these things that I have seen, you would think or wonder how I could still believe that there is a God that cares? I stopped I paused as I started to think. The bird that fell from the sky, had baby birds that had just left the nest and that man on the corner was still alive and he could walk, the blind girl smelled things I could not see, the mother who lost her son, was now an advocate to stop violence on the street, the man who lost his legs could still think, the Priest was not dead and his faith was not suppose to be in man, but only in God… and we all seem to have forgot, God had not failed them but he was building them up, for each one them that had something taken from them, but they still had their life…all, but the bird…except for her baby birds that had just left the nest. God had not forgotten those people but it seems that they had forgotten him.
The bulldog said to the poodle... "Wow!"..."What a fancy treat!" "Today you ain't so lucky", "I'm the king on this street!" "Looks like you lost your way", "Now ain't you clean and pretty!" "You're 'bout to be a mangled mess", "My oh my, what a pity!" The little pooch shook with fear, He found not the courage to talk; The bulldog was suddenly whisked away, As the poodle stood alone on the walk! Nabbed by the local catcher, The bulldog lost his might; He could only sit in silence, While the poodle shivered with fright! The dog catcher said to the poodle... "Today's your lucky day!" "Judging by the tags on your collar", "Home's just a block away!" "Don't be afraid, little fella!" "No more will you be alone!" So off she sped with the poodle, Returning him safely home! The world's filled with bullies, Whether it's wealth, power, or size; The Lord sends His angels to protect us, While our enemies lurk in disguise!
Lord, please forgive me. I need You. I messed up. Please, save me. Thank You. I trust You. I love You. I am a hypocrite. Please, change me. Thank You. Amen.
Let life win for now... when your head sadly down. Let life win for now... when your chips are down, Let life win for now... when you can't speak a sound, Let life win for now... win when you just getting up off the ground and life nocks you back down. Let life win for now, as you standing in free line, when your gut is light to get a bite to keep you up right to win the battles of life. But be poise and patient for those who step in your way, your enemy, your unknown rival... Let life pave the way therefore what you had good then and do not have now Let life win for now, because life knows what comes around. Poetry written by 11/26/10 Author Keith Kadell
A Silent Night's Hunt for a Tigress so blunt, Left the Fiend dancing with my Thisbe's Cloack But where was She? Her Drenching blood is all I can see The Night of Sanguine, The Night of Rapture, Tonight was meant to be All Behold This Tragedy ran by Dark Energy, My Lost Lover's Plea A seed of what is to come, In this starcrossed Tragedy, For I can not live without you, My Pyramus, All I need, My reason to Breathe One sight of me bleeding away from reality, started this tragedy and with me It shall Grow The Pain wasn't enough for me, To Live on with me Love without consequence, The Damned Saint, The Angelic Demon The Darkness of the Sea, Carries away with me, In this Starcrossed Tragedy A Star traveling across the moonless Night Sky, In the mid-summer of Verona, Fell from her glorious light, I have lost my guide, My need for Life Every balcony I'll climb for you, Just to Caress you once more But now it is too Late, My Juilet Let the Poison Fill me My Body dyed In silence, Dipped in Paralysis, Forging the Will of God, Feigning the Clutches of Death, My Romeo I prithee to you, See past The Illusion, Caught in the Webs of Love's delusion A Dagger reached my heart once To see you martyr for our love A Dagger reached my heart twice The Pain wasn't enough for me, To Live on with me Love without consequence, The Damned Saint, The Angelic Demon The Darkness of the Sea, Carries away with me, In this Starcrossed Tragedy Once the Morning Retired from her weeping The sun shined into her eyes, then his Lifeless, their dream will live on Every Petal will be Avenged The Pain wasn't enough for me, To Live on with me Love without consequence, The Damned Saint, The Angelic Demon The Darkness of the Sea, Carries away with me, In this Starcrossed Tragedy
Chapter 1 As but only one young lost man in a great land I sometimes don't want to see what I see in life but death causes me to look. I don't want to hear the things I hear but have to admit the things here that I've heard. I don't want to be guilty today it's why I continue to strive past my past for innocence in the near future. I don't want to feel what I feel but after another day in this dark place has gone by I can't hide what I have painfully felt. As but one young man I wonder why I question others motives and still can't see the answers to my own as if I know all the answers to life when I don't even know the true cause of my own. I wonder why I am happier at times but more often than not why I continue to be sad. I look for ones in groups of twos and get lost in groups of threes, but don't get even me started on the groups of fours. On the outside world I am lost yet inside myself I know I am found, I holler silently at night while I quietly pray during the day. As but only one young man I can only do what is best for self-first if I want to start making a difference for two. Sometimes life for one can be fun, but on the reservation more often than not it is boring and dull. On the reservation I found serenity and solitude in the hills but I also found old savages and young Satan's in the towns. I see beauty and peace in Mother Nature but I also found violence and ugliness among my very own in the neighborhood. I see not what I see and I think not what I think for I feel what I see which leads me to think. I choose rather to just be rather than not be what other people want me to be. I see what I see because I haven't really got a choice in what I will see, I'd rather choose to just say that I saw. Outside people can't make one see what I already choose not to see for I see what I see rather if they want me to see things their way or not. I can't feel what they feel unless they feel what I feel and live where I live and be where I am to know where I truly am from to understand the thoughts and feelings of not only a young native of struggle, but as a person worldwide no matter the skin color.
ZOOOOOOOMING speedily… Tires squeaking from exhaust… high in volume Racecar spews out smoke… Blinding the eyes of a thousand fans Blooming havoc… Explosions avalanche downwards Racecar drives fast and furiously Awesome feelings launch through me Projecting panic and twisted bliss Catching the audience's full attention… Tension between challengers increase Who could stand in their way… not even the coaches Racecar screeches on the racing street… Ain't this competition neat? Come! Take a seat! This event is brilliant – it's such a treat! Producing thrill or disappointment… Car organs, fragments, shards, remains, limbs, veins Spurts out in flames… flying at every possible direction Countless racecars… barely functions – this scene is extremely horrendous! Yet, the victories are gracious! Vibrant applauses and thanksgiving triggers enlightening cheer Have no fear!!! The moment is ever so precious! Racecar…you make so much racket and suspense! Rowdiness is in your nature…who will pay the expense??
Where Will I Be Tomorrow? Where will I be tomorrow? That's my question! I continue traveling on… Seeking my life's "mission." There are many roads, and journeys to go on. I'm trying to find out, where I really belong. There are many choices of what to do and see… There's both good and bad waiting for me! But, there is a God who called out my name. When I heard his voice... To him, I came! He gave me a promise! A 100% guarantee! He promised to forgive my sins, that I may be free! I will spend today and tomorrow with him! I'm going to take time, and get to know him! I'm here today! I don't know what tomorrow will bring! But I can trust Jesus! To take care of everything! Where will I go? I know where I will be! Spending time with my Lord! For eternity! By Jim Pemberton
When we lost hope for the freedom and peace there is much more tears shed in our country When all those innocent people lost faith in their leaders there is no hope for the bright future in our country When all those priests become politically motivated culprits then the people lost faith in our worship places. When all those handful of leaders make occean of wealth by squeezing their poor masses blood When all those saints sit under the temple trees and meditate fake for sins for the peace how could the light of Asia "Lord Buddha's " teaching of dharma will help us to find peace in our country Freedom doesn't mean that we can do anything that we want but do right thing at right time to build up a peaceful nation How many steps we walk closer towards peace and freedom but till it will remain an endless journey to find it Let no more war and violence prevail in our country Oh God, let peace and freedom prevail in our country soon.

Jesus, I Pray for My Brothers! Years ago, I suggested to my brothers that we pray. They simply laughed at what I had to say! I thought it would be good to get together... That God's love would bind our hearts forever! Division took place and took the "upper hand." I don't think they'd listen or even understand! Over the many years that just went on by... They never once took the time to say; "hi!" Even though they never once seemed to care. I decided to take some time in deep prayer! It was like they would make fun of what I said. At times, maybe they wished I were "dead." At this time, there's a strong and powerful force That's blowing their lives are way off course! I pray that God's spirit will get a hold of them! And let them now how much he loves them! I pray that God's love will be the glue that binds them! May God's mercy and joy be what finds them! I pray that evil will not find it's way in their home! And they would allow Jesus to rule on their "throne." Even though they tried to cast me off, as a "fool." It's God's words, in their lives, that must rule! Jesus can turn around even the worst situation! By the power of his glory and resurrection! Please, dear lord, bind them forever as won! Bless their home! Their daughters and sons! By Jim Pemberton
My brother came to me, desperate for prayer! Filled with hopelessness and despair! I reached out to him to begin to pray… But I couldn't find any words to say! The Holy Spirit began tugging at my heart within… Convicting me of holding on to a "secret sin." THIS SIN, God told me I must first let go, For this was eating at my soul! My prayer life had been such a mess! I repented! And to God… I confessed! I called out to Jesus' precious name! Inviting him into my heart to reign! On bended knees before my Lord I began to bow, My prayer was going to be answered… Somehow! The prayer request for my brother Was going to be met! For God has never failed me YET! By Jim Pemberton
I cry myself awake In the middle of the day Because of a decision I made Not to spend time with you. And now everything I am Is falling apart into pieces; I feel like I am losing you Because I am losing myself.
As all I'd ever termed wondrous bliss unexpectedly died - As my fantasy of a reality with destruction did collide - My hopes shattered around me like glass in countless pieces, Fragments suspended in mocking beauty as time freezes… The clock hand ticks forward and it all crashes to the floor My knees hit rock-bottom when I could take no more All I now see is blackness where once there was color Gone appears the light from the sun and its fervor… I begin to walk away from the pond of shattered dreams But the glass is in my clothes and cutting through my heart, it seems Perhaps I am too close, the smoke is clouding my full view- Glance up at the tower, instinctively know what to do… Run up the steps; one, two,three hundred endless stairs And I barely catch my breath, or have time to fill lungs with air - Before the ground beneath my feet crumbles into sand Loud thunder above me rumbles as I fall back down on land… And I hit rock-bottom again Thinking this must be the end For surely no human can go through this pain And still see rainbows through the rain… The whole world seems gray and black tonight With not a speck of pure, identifiable white in sight Nothing is untouched, gone is everything - Then how do I glimpse in that crack a thin white string? Among the dirt, surely this uncorrupted clean string is not real But just to verify the hopeless doubts, I reach out a hand to feel And to my electric surprise, it's most tangible indeed I yank it out attached to a note, uncrumple it and read: "Verily, with every hardship comes ease" [Quran 94:6] That white thread... Of hope.
She said baby I have to go, I said girl you don't need to go, Because baby I want you to stay, 'Til the sun rise, 'Til the end of the night, I said baby I'm feelin you, And I'm fallin in love with you, Which is somethin I never thought I would do, But, I did today, So girl, Why don't you stay, Chorus:2x Why don't you stay, 4x 'Til the sun rise, 'Til the end of the night, She said baby I have to leave, I said girl I don't want you to leave, My darling please stay with me, 'Til the night end, Then come back again, Because baby we have a chance, For us to have a great romance, So, girl take my hand and dance, You don't have to go, Baby don't go, Chorus: 3x 'Til the sun rise, 'Til the end of the night,
Today I lost my job I'm not going to despair So don't expect me to feel sorry for myself 'Cause today I lost my stress And all the troubles of my life I'm going to rise again Far greater than I was before Today I lost my job I'm not going to cry So don't expect me to breakdown 'Cause today I lost my burden And everything that is holding me down I'm going to bounce back Far better than I used to be Today I lost my job I'm not going to die So don't expect me to kill myself 'Cause today I break free from my bondage And every obstacle around me I'm going to make it Far beyond expectation.
My friend Justin and I want to dedicate this poem to everyone in America and those from other countries who have died, and also to those that lost their loved ones on this most atrocious day 11 years ago. ------------------------------------------- In the busy streets of New York City, Many a passerby made their way to work It was a typical work day—or so they thought It was an unexpected day when a great tragedy would strike Two of the city's greatest towers would fall in humility And along with them many wonderful families Even others from different countries would lose a loved one In just a matter of minutes, all of what was that typical work day Became a nightmare—a terrorist's delight Everything in chaos and confusion Cries all through the day and night Many called their loved ones if they survived that long Many panicked, but some were dead calm Knowing there was no way out They poured their hearts out on that last telephone call, their legacy born The attackers thought they broke us! But they failed—we didn't break at all Instead they brought us closer as a nation And the people who lost their lives are with us always Never forgotten in our minds and in our hearts
And then the day came That I found my self lost in the void of my own emptiness And as suddenly as a tree bust into flames After being stuck by lightening My heart sank I felt so lost and alone The walls ran red with my blood For they were all I had left to beat And my busted knuckles bleed with the vengeance of hate I cursed the Lord above as the gooners burst into my cell AND WE FOUGHT Overcome and beaten Hogtied and broken I refused any medical aid For my hate drank the pain And I wept ALONE As deep as the peace of a deer lying in the meadow I felt the Lord Jesus Christ come unto my soul And to this day the thought of him The depth of his mercy Makes me cry For I have been forgiven I became a man of living example The future holds limitless opportunities for me I bare witness to the darkness of addiction For I have been delivered from the ashes Set free from the chains that bound me My soul is my Lords as my heart is my wife's My life belongs to anyone who is willing to learn As I ready to embark on the journey of education My excitement grows with each passing day Because I know the Lord Jesus Christ Will use me as a lantern of faith And those who teach me will also learn from me For my knowledge of emptiness is as vast and barren As all of the great deserts spread around the world Compiled together in one 6'-2'' 240 lb. frame The depths of my scars are like the Grand Canyon Amazing to see and impossible to comprehend This is my story this is who I am My past will never be forgotten Because it holds the possibility of higher education In regards to the overhaul journey of life And hopefully some where along the way A soul will be saved
its sad to see a life go down the drain especially when they show no pain, such a precious life is never worth taking even when the heart is aching, and nobody knew because there were no clues playing everybody as the fools, they reach out with their arms wide open but nothing in return to keep them knowing giving their heart and soul but nobody spoke in, turn just reached for the bong and toke'n popped a pill and then it sunk in, every past, future, and present linked in to this haze of a maze the mind is goin trapped like a mouse trying to find its way out just to dissimilate oneself but the haze makes the daze just fade in and fade out no where to go, no where to shout stuck in the head is where it iss stuck and now all they can say is oh schucks remember help is only one step away in any direction it may sway don't leave it to the wonder cause nobody can hear with all the thunder.
Her spirit died, she was not born again, She found herself falling, calling, screaming for help, She landed on a murky rock surrounded with volcanic eruptions, Where ever she turned, souls were experiencing invasive destruction, Her name was written in a Smokey haze, Her cell was wide open and forces pushed her in, She was instantly aware of all her sins, Her flesh began to melt and peal Then, it healed And once again pealed Tormented, over and over again Cankerworms slowly dug their way in Sinister laughter's hissed all around "You were lost and now will never be found" Her spirit died, she was born again She found herself floating in a foreign land, Iron Gates stood before her eager face, A book made of Gold shimmered as she heard her name, Songs of the redeemed continually sang, And her body became absent from struggles and shame, As she walked on streets of gold, A kingdom appeared that she was once told about Laughter filled with ecstasy was everywhere, Angelic humming invited her in, She kept feeling Sweet healing, Then, found herself kneeling, Humble and relieved "You were lost and now you're found" By: Sabina Nicole
I found what was lost a treasure without the key Have I found the lost treasure filled with special guidance Is there trust stored inside I ask in faith will the truth be revealed Who know and can explain for I know their is a greatest who can explain in trust and honesty his perceptions is meant' to be clear to us his visions are meant' to be percieved by us Letting it ring through out the land in goodness and faith as if echoing in the shadows' of a legacy Are we on guard for ourselves to realize and understand some things worth listening too, or that which is right in unlocking the trust stored inside our own lives Feeling compassion surrounding desires felt, inside a heart such as mine A magic flame ignites me inside, giving me the strength and a will to survive, as I fight against many struggles encountered I ask in faith will the truth be revealed, for I believe in this treasure and found what was lost but without the key can I unlock the trust stored inside.
It's a social problem that has our sitting President supporting lesbian and gays. He sees it as a political coin to toss into this election foray. What is he thinking? Votes in the country will be lost to him in the Bible belt. Christians know Our Fathers laws, edicts; morally he's following the devil on this Christian assault. God's voice, Romans Chapter One is very specific about this. Corrupting Our Fathers words bring us to a Spiritual crisis. Morally he's absolutely wrong, in his actions and his thoughts. By backing this corrupted agenda he'll find this will all come to naught. The biggest blunder in his career what is he thinking politically? He's lost his moral compass; he knows this is wrong, especially spiritually? What happens, God forbid, when his children were to say to him I'm dating another woman? He'll be mad I bet, but the children will say, "you said it was alright'" Were will he be with this twisted wisdom? He'll say," I only said this to get votes we both know it's wrong." Again they'll say," But you said it's ok' you said it belonged." Mr. President our nation was founded on morals and freedom, following God's laws was the key. Yet as Christians we know that you'll loose this election because Christians will not put up going against the Father and his laws, you've lost spiritually. Yes I see a resounding defeat for you in this election and you have no else to blame. To endorse this abomination is a crying shame. You could have been one of the great Presidents if you followed God's truths. For that many Christians vote will be lost, Christians will stand against you and rebuke. Being from a Democratic family since I can remember in good conscience my family and I will vote Republican. To change parties is not our way but because of your stance on this issue I'll not vote for a vile corrupted man. You've turned Christians everywhere against you in this country because you knew. God says homosexuality is wrong on every level and this time I believe you're through.
That moment we forgot what we did saw. This no doubt our memory have failed us, A signal that the time will not be thaw, That moment we forgot. When all throbbing has come and nestled, thus The thing we saw reappears as its raw, Then nothing can stop that call behind us. Not lost memories are what we keep as law The forgotten will haunt back as pulse Highest shade, most lightening will tour and saw That moment we forgot.

Fallen snow will remind of me/ it is snowing ... Slowly as in the dream/ Boy word-beads/ with signs on his spine/ He kisses fine/ Your eyelids / And it snows ... It snows /so slow/ It does/ and you're thinking of me/ 'Coz it's warm/ it's better to stay in warmth/ Waiting for summer dim/ It is snowing/ slowly like in the dream/ Flakes/ go round/ playing the music theme/ You've been looking for rescue/ You searched in wine/ But it's in me/ all the rescues are mine/ It is snowing/ the snow is fluffy and white/ If you see darkness/ I'm deaf and blind/ there's the cast of time/ on the arm/ But I discern the light/ Dreams/ upon your eyelids tips/ Prepare you for winter drowse/ And it snows/ Fallen snow/ will remind of spring / it will crumble and crackle in vain/ It will snow / fluffy /white/ and slow/ And you'll become whole/
Your touch peels away the layers of fear and gently reveals a love Like spring emerging in spontaneous color and wonder I had mused - all was lost -that I would never to see the sun and blue skies again I was lost in winters grey, bleak bare arms- alone in my cocoon not believing I could ever evolve into a radiant flower again But now as my growth peeks through the melted ice - I joyously unfold, unraveling Velvet petals-layers of trust radiate a passionate bouquet of loves ardent harvest I believe I can produce a harvest of good fruit from my union with the pro-creator of life - He shall abundantly fulfill His goodness in my life- as sure as the sun rises in newness each day - I shall shine forth His glory in me - for I cannot hide His love - it encompasses all I am fulfilling His purpose - honey flows from the rock that is steadfast and sure I am His forever. © Brenda V Northeast 3 March 2012
I visited an orphange saw those little smiling faces What happiness they had, no one can tell as behind that joy lied, a different universe. they knew no where they came from, or they will go. their home is their orphanage and the love contributed on them from the strict wardens to every promising visitor that comes to see them or pick one of them. Alas they wait for their moment to arrive to live in this wide world. little do they know that they would get more peace and joyful in the orphanage than in this huge painful and competitive world.
I believe in God. I believe, because to not believe, is not an option. I would rather believe in God throughout my life, then when I die, if there is nothing, I have lost nothing and would never know. If I lived my life never believing in God, then when I died, and God asks why I did not believe, I have lost everything, and will know what I lost for eternity. To not believe is not an option, only a gamble, a gamble whose odds produce an incalculable result; the only guarantee, truth.
When you're hurt inside, And there's no where to hide, And there's no one on your side, And it's killing your pride, Inside, Never take hate outside, When your heart is chocking, The heavy words never spoken, The things that hurt you inside, When love has died, Inside, Never take hate outside, When your heart is gone, From being alone, And it beats a solemn tone, When you're cold inside, It's only a short ride, Never take hate outside
"What If... You Lost Everything?" What if your "luck has all run out?" "No one listens" no matter how loud you shout. What if your life has come to "a dead end road." You've lost everything... Even your car's been towed. What if all you have "suddenly disappeared." As the storms of life have "appeared." What if you got on your knees in prayer. Knowing there's a God who really does care. What if you gave Jesus complete control. Giving him your life, heart and eternal soul. What if Jesus gently wiped away your tears. And his peace calmed all anxiety and fears. What if you realized at this moment in time. Jesus is worth more than a large gold mine. What if he restored that you've lost & all that's been tekan. With him on board... You're never forsaken! An abundant life is that he promised to give. And he will enrich your life each day that you live! By JIm Pemberton
We Have A Sin Condition! We have more technology, but we have a problem! We have many "issues." And don't know how to solve them! Governments answer seems to be "spend, spend, spend." But we have this condition, that God calls; SIN! Just look at the problems that are all around you! It's amazing that they don't "overwhelm you!" There's all sorts of evil all cross our land! But there's something very few understand! We've sent men to the moon and outer space! Yet very few reach out and receive God's grace! The Bible says, "the heart of the man is sinful." Without God, man's heart is never "peaceful!" Jesus love provides for the world that fails us! He offers his love! Simply because he loves us! There's no "condition." His love is freely given! Won't you accept him? And be totally forgiven? Where there's sin. God's grace does much more abound! There's a new life for you! Just waiting to be found! Our sins for his love! What more could one ask? And enjoy a love and peace that will ALWAYS LAST! By Jim Pemberton

I woke up and toked Wrapped up the little jokes -lead the flow of traffic on down the road I'm not Casper but I sher Boo the mood of plaster, I'd rather stiff narks to break cards- with hard farce -never gettin' pulled over by the words Waitin' in giant leaps, I can see the next comin' just down the street if it was company I'd meet but since they're strangers I creep Wait in song and sing lead! You lead! I am a man, I am looking at the disease! Wasted on my knees I can wait for eternities Never caring about the breeze, the cold shoulder, or the person that stinks Its all just a place a disastrous phase earning loads of lore and lies mainlining out of personalities So come up and peek it could only hurt a little cheek why wreck the day when there is cause to play?
FALSE CAUSE Elite few for their political reasons & scheming in deception drew many feeble fellows with a tint of religious emotion Men who do evil in the name of good and serve the devil in the name of God Wonder why we would worship deities if we have to protect them and defend their cause and their feeble faithfuls faithfully fan a false cause Boko Haram Biko Hara'm You claimed to be anti western education But you are pro western technology & ammunition fruits of a failed marriage, the abomination of amalgamation Men of customized violence & signature blood shed Lo you've turned a green land red survivors who once bled are now dead Boko Haram Biko Hara'm You claimed your problem was the government But you bombed the unarmed and innocent I know of a place you'll never raze or dent Too many Mosquitoes standing untouched and fat Yet you set ablaze a moving Church rat Which heavens do you connect from your mat Boko Haram Biko Hara'm Some Say you are fanatical and political Others say your cause is unrealistic, cannibalistic & tribalistic Whatever the case, I loathe your bloody passion & fashion You smoked to ashes mother and child and returned untimely to dust a groom and his bride Yet some keep mum, others speak in tongues tender and mild Boko Haram Biko Hara'm You double the woes of the Niger-area and in your folly, threw stones at the market square You've lost some of your own and soon to be deserted alone Imagine the opportunities lost at a senseless cost In my mother-tongue, I bid you to end this wrong Boko Haram Biko Hara'm I have had this burden borne like a laden camel it is true our beliefs differ in Isaac and Ishmael Yet i entreat you in the name of our father Abraham Let folks flock in your pastures without fear of harm For infected with dirge is my song that is sung True we do not share a common tongue But its crystal clear we share a common skin The victims of your transferred aggression ask,'What is our sin?' are we the government or the western education so forbidden?

In the beginning I started off as just another nobody from another nowhere trying make it to somewhere as a somebody as everyone else. In the beginning I was BORN TO LIVE TO DIE, but in the process I was BRED TO LEARN TO SURVIVE. I became a CONVICT OF CHRIST through PAINFUL PLEASURES of my many struggles and strife's. I was a SINFUL SAINT but more of a sinner, mainly a loser and never a winner. I was once considered one of the best, now days I'm just trying to be lower than the rest, unseen in plain sight , NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS. I became lost in time through my many self-taught TRUE LIES of yet another LOST FIND growing up where few DREAMS LIVE , but many more DREAMS DIE. I soon got LOCKED UP but it was very educational because I LIVED IT and LEARNED FROM IT. I was given a choice to LIVE FREE OR DIE INCARCERATED, so I made that choice to be more loved than hated, so I became UNDER LOVE and OVER HATE, I learned to stop wanting and actually appreciate. Its been hard to change so I became a POET OF PAIN. That's when I learned the truth about those who think their dying for something but they might as well be living for nothing, because I learned that real truth comes from LIVING FOR SOMETHING because I ain't DYING FOR NOTHING. So now I am forever a W.O.L.F. once a warrior of lost freedom now trying to stay a warrior of LASTIN FREEDOM you know what I mean.
To my right and to my left I am surrounded by ocean-wide debt. I owe a lot, I owe my life but when I ran there was a strife. To my back and to my front I am filled with emptiness - a predator that hunts the lost prey till it dies and its body decays. North, East, South, West. Where is the damned treasure chest? Where is the shining star that shone the light and lead the wise men to Jesus in that Christmas night? Someone, please show me the road, show me the way away from this freezing cold and hold my hand, and kiss my cheek and lead me through the hours, days and weeks because this boat is sinking, and sinking fast. I really don't know how long I can last. So fire the gun up into the air and save me now for that's all I care.
for bruce springsteen... it was a rain-swept monsoon day way back then, so many moons away when i felt the music strumming in my veins setting me free like a runaway horse without any reins you sang of simple truths, your verse spoke to people just like me in my lonely, wasted, and desolately quiet night as you screamed out tragic human wrongs, and of everyone's plight 'bobby jean' spoke to me of that girl down the street glimpses of whom, we as innocents would furtively meet and 'the river' that flowed through my ever-barren heart led me down further roads of thunder when slowly i finally learnt that the hardest part was fighting on and never to surrender to the hard-luck dreams that were born to run while i danced in the dark with memories vivid and stark even as i whined like that dog who for forever lost his howling bark and then a 'human touch' came along and 'better days' seemed real, not just words in a song and still you sang and swayed and spoke straight into my unseeing eyes as gardens of secrets were opened, and as your fist punched the skies in an anger that i too felt and in whose cauldron i too burned as we saw murder get incorporated, while on its wobbly axis, our fragile world apathetically turned and then suddenly i was told that i was all grown up working on a highway of scattered ideals and absolving myself by sprinkling some coins in a waiting cup well, after all these years of walking along so many a thorny road with an armour of your verse covering me, even as i hear them taunt me and even as they continue to goad but now i can feel myself fading away, into the bleakness of this coming night just like the ghost of that old tom joad...
Please Come Lord Jesus, And Hear My Voice! Please come Lord Jesus, and listen to my voice! In all I do or say, may you be my first choice! Please come dear Jesus, and listen to my cry!

May I daily live it! Please come dear Jesus, I need you this hour! I need your strength, and your power! Thank you my Lord, my savior and friend! And thanks for answering me... Once again!

You belong to me mate ( Intro ) And that be that! Get on board And grab your hat! The ship was aghast at its new passenger ( Verse ) Like disdain for the lives that they now left behind, Newcomers were scarce And they never would last But I held up my chin nice and high. The bloke who took me screamed ( Pre-chorus ) "Mop up the deck we've got things to do!" But I said sir, I'm just a boy and don't know what's to do. And he said ( Chorus ) "Drifting mainly Sailin the shores Taking what's mine And leaving what's yours Cause you know, we ain't dead yet." Taking the seas for more than eight moons We found islands and loot That was bigger than most. The taste of sea air With its wind in my hair Took me away to this new life I lead. After mopping the deck He grabbed my hand and screamed "Steer this ship boy!" But I said sir, I'm just a lad and don't know where to go. So the crew yelled ( Chorus ) "Drifting mainly Sailin the shore Taking what's mine And leaving what's yours Cause you know, we ain't dead yet." Surprising to me Was my unshaven face The captain looked on And smiled with grace, We stopped at a place Where the women were loose and didn't mind If we took a peak. He said "Now you're a man so let's get on that boat, We got places to be and some people to rope, So grab that sword and drop that mop Cause you're no longer a boy in my eyes." I practiced the duel with the men in the crew The captain took eye to my devilish pride, And he took me aside and said "Even in death I'm gonna miss you boy But don't let it strike you Or kill your spirits Cause even time can beat out the Grim." Then in the darkness came fire and screams, Our vessel had stopped after fourteen years, The crew fought hard and beat most of the men But now, my Captain was dead. We took the new ship watching ours sink deep Saying goodbye to our drowning escape, The crew turned towards me and asked "What do we do?" and I smiled, And they did to. And we yelled ( Chorus ) "Drifting mainly Sailin the shores Takin what's mine And leaving what's yours Cause you know, we ain't dead yet."
Dropped out of school At an early age Lived on the streets Because, I disgusted my mother She thought I was a poor example Of true Christian beliefs At an early age She religiously drummed into me 'blood is thicker than water' And yet, Here I am today confused, lonely and hungry No one protecting me No friends No family No home to go too Just, peoples eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth mentality Praying for the sun to shine To feel some warmth again! Sun rays of hope, lighting me up To live through this darkness without fear With a heart full of faith No matter what happens to me, now! If only I could drink my salty tears It would sustain me for a lifetime Your tears are worth nothing, around here You're classed as weak and venerable Only attracting death Your life worth nothing! Save me from myself I am my best friend I am my worst enemy My prayers and dreams Lost in the wind Blowing around like autumn leaves The rain washing them away Down the drain into the sewage Rolling with the seasons Year after year Survival for the fittest! Surviving on the love Hidden, inside me Being my strength and guide My personal lifeline In surviving this crazy world We all live in
Who are what can fill your life's "empty void?" In spite of the many things that you have "enjoyed." Drugs… Sex… Money… Are you concerned? Has your life been one that's taken "the wrong turn?" There's many choices to make. I'm fooling you not! But there's a godly principle that must be taught! The void we have. Only the presence of God can fulfill! Bringing you true love, is God's purpose and will! Won't you take a moment with the king of kings? And allow him to take control of everything? Jesus will never disappointed you! Not now or ever! He wants to be your friend! Today and forever! The God of this world and universe, wants to come in! A Brand new way of living… Is waiting to BEGIN! By Jim Pemberton
Down in to the darkness deep Slowly and delicately I now edge In to the warmth so cold and bleak In to the womb I once resided In the mother I'd idolized Wondering what did happen Wondering what had changed What had caused such death? To cause such pain? Still slowly moving, sneaking, I started faintly weeping Why would we cause this? Why did we not see? Still I inch, well tears did fall Till a light I did spy Till a sprig I now cradle Now I see, as I gently stop my deplore, My mother will forgive All the hurt, The hate, All the people that did denounce, All she has provided All that she cherishes Yet she now grants; Redemption Forgiveness Unconditional love All in the loud roar Of spring
Water In My Eyes It's hard to take off, when you're left grounded. Something lost I can't find it. I can't see my way anymore, I need a guide "Hard to see with water in your eyes" A feeling that comes over you, it comes and goes Often now putting me to my knees, a thirst for knowledge has grown. Interpretations given to me, I want to fly but I'm stuck on the ground is what I realized. I can't see my way anymore, I need a guide "Hard to see with water in your eyes" You carry those you lost and offer you in their place, all you have are the memories a heart ache, a still picture of their face. Quest for knowledge you have shown, you can only save yourself when it's time to kneel at the thrown. Interpretations given to me, still unable to fly I can't see my way anymore, I need a guide "Hard to see with water in your eyes" Arms out reached in front of me, waiting for a touch back to assist and help guide me, I know your there even in the open air, as the breeze passes by pushing out the water in my eye. Looking to the sky before it drips drops and it freezes. As u notice only your sign the one only you can see. If you found it it's meant for you to continue to believe. Before you know it you're looking up into the sky. You see clearly through a dry eye. No more needs God has heard you and now he will guide you. Walking a set path try to live a life right. God will always give you your way of sight. Keeping faith is all for just such a reason. It's nice to see through all life's seasons. But almost daily it gets blurry and things change size. "Hard to see with water in your eyes" By Paul J Williams Sr
What Do We Expect, As We Seek to Remove God? As so many people are seeking God's removal… It's like anything from him, we've given a refusal! Many have tried to ban just the reading of his word! There's so much truth, just waiting to be heard! Many anti-God societies have quickly formed! Even the ten commandments, are often scorned! We've built large cities, many schools, and homes! But when it comes to God, we've often left him alone! One can try their best to push God back in the corner! But if you do, things in your life will get "warmer!" The pleasures and truth you seek, will come to an end! And then eternity without God, will just begin! You'll wish you chose to live for God, that eventful day! You'll wish that you took the time to study and pray! It's the word of God that you need to study and read! God knows all about you! And knows your needs! He deserves all of your praise and full attention! We need to seek him, for much needed direction! Please come dear Lord, and cleanse us within! May we humbly confess our faults and sins! We need YOU much more, than words can say! Please be the God we serve! May we start TODAY! By Jim Pemberton
I Knew Someone Who Was Ready to "End It All!" I knew of someone who just wanted "to end it." Giving up on life, and did not want to "defend it." It was a heart wrenching and difficult situation. He said what he wanted to, with no explanation! I could see his face and the sad look in his eyes! What he was going to do next, was anyone's surprise. He turned to drugs and encountered addictions. With this brought much disease and afflictions! He gave up on the wonderful family that was given. And turned to a pretty wild and crazy way of livin'! I told him about a God who loves him very deeply. As he listened, he began to grow restless and weary. I reached for his hand and began to pray for God's power! It was a miracle! The blood of Jesus changed him that hour! The spirit of God brought healing and hope to his body! He was so excited! He rushed out to tell everybody! The "end" that he wanted, seemed to just fade away! For the son of the living God, changed him this day! The glory of God, and the power of Jesus' resurrection… Changed him! And got him going in a NEW direction! He's so thankful for the blood of Christ' atonement! And is a different person now, because of that moment! This same Jesus loves and can do the same for YOU! Through the problems of life… He will see you through! By Jim Pemberton
I felt worn out... discouraged and defeated. Nothing in my life right seemed to be completed. I felt alone, knocked down and betrayed! I never thought I'd feel this scared and afraid. In this very dark time, where would I run? Where would any help actually come from? I felt utterly worthless and quite alone... With each passing day, in this place I called "home." As I got up, each morning and opened the bedroom door. And wondered if anyone cared about me anymore? I felt a "tug" on my shoulder and looked around. And noticed a bright light, shining toward the ground. "I love you my son." Where the words I heard. Excitement and hope within my heart was stirred. I looked up and couldn't began to explain. The love I felt when I called on Jesus' name! From my ceiling, I saw what looked like an angelic being. He said, "I am God! " I can do anything!" He reached down and gently picked me up out of bed. Words of mercy and hope where what he had said. "I am here so that you may rise up and live." "All of your failures and sins I will forgive." Everything inside of me... God did understand! With him here... I knew victory was at hand! This particular day, this was certain. He took away my sins and heavy burdens! Look at me now and it's so plain to see! He can do for YOU, what he's done for ME! By Jim Pemberton
*A assignment was due in class. * Every time a gun shoots A tree looses its roots Every time there is bloodshed Along with it millions of tears are shed Every time a heart is stabbed Someone else's life gets barren As violence grows Many more mothers moan The sounds of destruction Overpowers the voice of those Who are innocent Who suffer with no reason Who beg for life Who have heart full of innocence Why do so much violence? That the child's cry cannot be heard When his father is killed Why do so much violence? That a mother moans Over her child's dead remains Why do so much violence For winning any stupid battle Which is taking lives Of people who have wives And mothers and children When you can keep calm Talk things out Do whatever you can To keep violence out Because there is no sin as big as VIOLENCE
It's been seven years, I almost forgot- not this day: but the distance we've climbed. I couldn't remember my age, because it correlates to years we've been apart. I forgot to be apprehensive, this time it was sneaky. It waited for the first happy holiday wishing from some idiot to remind me. It was Good Friday. When God took your spirit home and left me dying to know, how to love him for his sacrifice when he asked me to give up you? How do I heal this death and rise with you in his arms? I blasphemy, I know, but you loved him more in sight of you that graceful place grows pale in and foreign in mine eye. Alas, I fail the test, I could not be as strong as you. We knew it would not wait, but the parting was still to fast. I sat in thought three days before your sleep and asked, "In three days time my savior died, I wonder hence what of my soul will rise with his?" And sitting easter morning, holding some idiots well wished basket, I realised Three days passed. He took you home and left me lost on Friday morn, I wailed my loss through Saturdays more, and Easter morning I felt your last hug, your kiss good bye. I cursed my self for asking, if my soul would rise with his, because you, my love, are my soul and all ready there there fore I am not strong enough to give this pain up to honor his sacrifice and transcend, I sit still lost and wonder: I believe and I love, but I don't know how to rise I don't now how to live again. Faith crushed I don't think I can trust. I am the shell of your grace trying once more to live in the love that failed me, as I failed the gift of his sacrifice.

God Loves Us, When We Don't Expect It! God loves us, when we don't expect it! His son died for you! Please don't forget it! He really wants to touch us! We don't deserve it! His life for our life… He wants to preserve it! He wants to be our Lord! Because he loves us! He rules the heavens and earth! All around us! He offers and extends his salvation to you! He's already done so much. What will you do? He has offered his wonderful mercy and grace… Through Christ, your life can be on a solid place! Won't you come, and accept his power to forgive? You can have abundant life, each day you live! By Jim Pemberton 09/07/13
My life has never been easy. I was once a lost soul. Until that one special day when his angel wrapped her wings around me with a tight hold. She flew me through sky and guided herself through the lives of others. Other lost souls that is.... and slowly made my sorrows disappear. Relinquished my fears and replaced them with love. We flew like soaring doves. Finally, we came to a stop. And it's all my sorrows that I forgot. She whispered in my ear... All the words I needed to hear. In that instance I began to cry, not for me... but for the other lost souls who needed that same ride.
You've lost your desire and your will power Written By Dean Masciarelli September 14, 2010 (3:08pm) You've lost your desire and your will power And you just don't want to be here anymore Because you've been living in your darkest hour And you want everything to end so that it can be over But listen you've got to get yourself back together Because there is so much more for you to live for Just let the good Lord lift the weight of the world off of your shoulders And I promise you that you will feel a lot better Because there is still a purpose and a meaning for you to be here
This question drives me up and down the walls I know for certain that God has answered my calls I can't hang up on Him…He's so brilliant And I'm so little compared to Him… Maybe I'm little in size and very insignificant compared to the most High He gives me quite a natural high He brings me back home and kisses me good night Without His love, I'd be lost like a sheep losing his shepherd I feel like I'm separated to God As if God and I are on both sides of the coin… Our oceans don't collide with each other, But He does make huge tidal waves… And I make baby waves that swerve up and down Like a wave's movement, my life seems to have its low points and high points But, when I build enough energy, I glide higher than the clouds Though, unfortunately, I've only been dreaming this Then, I collapse into the sand...my face rubs against it and I have scrapes all over Sand and water do mix well, but afterwards, the sea shore's weight will pile up on the bottom of the ocean floor I can't imagine how many grains of sand there are on Earth There are countless amounts of ants on Earth as well Trillions and trillions of them are in existence It's amazing how plants take in Carbon Dioxide And we breathe in oxygen… God is a fantastic creator and He did carve His creations pretty well God saw my distress and He healed me When I think about Him, I'm speechless and can't say much He's made out of love and He bubbles me up with excitement I haven't given Him the credit of working miracles in my life… But, I don't want to divorce God…I must propose to Him like a wife Does to her husband…I want to submit to Him He made the sunset, the moon and stars Look! He even made the planets and He healed our scars He made the flowers, the roses and the creeping bugs Look! He even made leaves for our eyes to see… He made the change of seasons God saw my distress and healed me God made the wild cats, bears, reptiles He made us have a brain that is as neat as black and white tiles God healed me…and I'm simply glad He did so God wiped out my distress…and He simply dressed me with happiness and He's in high spirits to see me grow ~ Inspired by the band of Evanescence's song: Never Go Back ~ God inspired me to write this poem…
Gray the sky grew, And darker still in hue. How could anyone know when the day began, So many would never see the sun rise again. So many the Lord did decide to take, A trail of destuction the Twister left in its wake. The winds twisted and blew, Leaving a path of lost souls when it was through. To terror many did awaken, For many of their kin was taken. When the sky turned blue again, It was to many resounding voices whispering Amen. Not all that prayed for relief, From their grief... Were as lucky as some, For many were called to their eternal home. So when we look back upon this day, We will still pray... That the many lost have found their way... To the Pearly Gates and entered therein, All due to the unruly winds. When we remember this day, Let us bow our heads and pray... For the wonderous souls we lost, And may we never forget the cost. 4-28-11 For:For the lost loved ones on 4-27-2011
Are we awake or are we still sleeping? Blind to the hurt, and deaf to the weeping. Ashamed of religion and supportive of the new, Aware of the lies and hidden from what's true. Worship the evil and turn away the pure, Developing disease with an unknown cure. Starving the poor and overfeeding the wealthy. Killing the sick and drugging the healthy. Going to war for some kind of power, Building tall structures over all types of flower. Cutting the trees and polluting the air, All out of greed, with no sort of care. Turning us against our own, And help from up above. Making us beings of hate, Instead of ones of love. Demonizing the mystic, Criticizing the wise. Making our own family members, Into people that we despise. Awaken to the torment, Be aware of all the pain. Those who are misleading, And claiming that we are insane.
I am what you call a hopeless romantic, But im also a lost lovers cause, my heart belongs to another Yet in my head a love triangle starts to form, the girl I love doesn't love me She holds the heart to another and mine caged to the floor, She isn't afraid to fight for what she wants, not even when it comes to leaving another man torn Trust me she's happy, as that boy holds her heart ever so close Seeing what I shouldn't I smile as I wear my blind fold, Blind to everything around, lifeless staring into air My train of thought running so fast, the second I stop you'll hear a crash Derailing my hope, for ever finding a love so pure & rare Wishing I could hold the hand of the lover who stole my flame, Wish I could change the last days in which we parted ways, Realizing now that we can never be the same Finally saying it out loud as tears run down my face You stole my happiness, as I walked away that day But it's because as of what you said I guessed I changed, Now every relationship has just be the same, No one can seem to bring back that flame, Because a love likes ours comes once in a lifetime Well at least it does to me, But I mean you're happy with who your with I mean I only wrote this as I heard exchanging "I love you" flow from each of your lips.
Turn the wheel *******he sea... Push aside the misery... The abominable agony... Endure this hardship...with me Fight off the tears and let us roam to sea Don't make it hard for me To determine the waters We are the same kind If you can be so KIND, let me show you your destiny - To dwell with me in tranquility We will try to share our responsibilities... Take turns and share our possibilities... How have you been? Sorry we have shut our ears To your deafening cries I'm turning the wheel for you You're losing energy...be still - why are you so blue? I'll shut out the feeling of anguish You'll get what you wish We will start anew We will start on a fresh start We will fulfill our dreams and make them come true We'll brew away the sadness I'm determined to eliminate The distress... swallowing us like a tidal wave... Behave, you wild childlike waters!! Behave! Don't worry - we'll get rid of The limited happiness And make our heart pump with merriness Don't be a magnet of depression stress You'll experience a wonderful opportunity So you may feel at one with Our world full of possibilities And eliminate those cruel, wretched words That tore apart our responsibilities... Our activities... our reveries... our possibilities... That brought us back together We'll be hiking These somewhat difficult hardships together
Life can bring many difficult situations! Often, there's really no explanation! No matter how smart or how wise, Things can take us totally by surprise! We can often find our life off course. Many times, being driven by a "dark force." I know that it's hard to know what to do. Especially with what you may be going through! I can't think of all the right words to say… To help you make it through another day! But there's someone, I can ask you to turn to! He loves and is most concerned about you! His name is Jesus! The almighty God is he! He's committed to you now! And for eternity! He's the one that you can trust and lean on! And is someone that you can certainly depend on! Won't you give him an opportunity to help you? He reaches out his hand! Because he loves you! He is the source with an eternal heavenly treasure! He can completely fill you! Beyond measure! The decision is yours! A choice to be made! There's nothing for Jesus what's worth the "trade!" He's everything that any of us can ever think of! And can do more for you! Than you ever dreamed of! He's the alpha and omega! The beginning and the end! Won't you allow him to be your savior and friend??? By Jim Pemberton
Yeah I know my life may be broken but yet my purpose in my life is still bound/ Im picked up by Jesus everytime Im lower than dirt burriend alive underneath the ground/ I look for signs, I look for meanings, I try and hear something great but cant hear no sounds/ I look like S&^t, I look like a clown/ I know life aint no joke, aint no game because a lot people I seen last decade and last year are no longer around./ I was lost in lies until I found truth, I was lost in prison until appreciating freedom in me was found./ IM know I still got purpose for broken life that is bound...........
I walk through the reservation valley of alcoholic death/ I fear no darkness among my own for the light breathes life on its own through my every breath/ I can no longer fit in for I need to stand out above the rest/ I can no longer follow, I got to be the host of my own because Im tired of being the guest/ I want to be the writer I dont want to be the reader/ I want to be the artist with the brush, I want to create I want to finally be my own leader/ I want to be able to follow society's rules because I am tired of being a cheater/ I want to be the supplier because Im tired of being the seeker/ I guess life is what I make it/ Forgive less as much as I still continue to forsake it/ My life is just a jolt but at times I feel death shake it/ Grab my emotions by the reins and straight earthquake it/ I try and fix my problems until someone comes by and breaks it/ but this is my time because Im still young so this young opportunity in life I must Take it. I got to hold my head held high from being low/ I got to stay lost until I find my own being my purpose of another young lost soul/ I cannot stop because Im too tired of staying stuck I must stay on go/ This my life now I know it my story waiting to be patiently told/ This my life now I got to let it un fold/ Let it slowly but surely grow/ Im just a hidden bomb waiting for my poetry to blow/ EVERYTHING I DID OR DO IN LIFE NOW IS SOMETHING I CHOSE? I GOTTA CHANGE BECAUSE I JUST CANT KEEP WALKING THE SAME RESERVATION ROAD.
My eyes Witness your departure My eyes Are dripping with hopelessness… My eyes start to blur… Melancholy put me under pressure… Is there a cure to my disease? You don't see The shards of hope that once brought us back together Just let me search for safety I'm strong enough to realize that I'm no longer The weakest prey out there… And I'm left in my solitude… Do you hear me whimpering like a distraught puppy left on the train tracks? I'm close to my demise…save me and take me home Nourish me…and be my beloved friend Will this friendship last forever? Hopefully it has no end Will this cheerful moment help us get along with each other? Because of you…I feel the need to run I keep an eye on you – I worry that you'll hurt yourself again Because of you…My freedom is nearly gone I don't wanna be caught off guard again Because of you…EYE can't picture a solution for our vexing dilemma Because of you…eye can't focus on my long-term goal And I'm left in my solitude… Do you sense that I'm giving in to failure? And I'm close to my demise… Only to find myself disappear…I can't endure The hardships that you place upon me… Could you boost up my confidence to overcome My atrocious anxiety? I'm just waiting for some sun To keep me in good hands… To strengthen me with perseverance … I'm just waiting until His son Leads the world outtah Egypt and reveals to us… His radiance…His dazzling Kingdom – Vibrant with glee Your undying sympathy dawns upon us I'm overflowing with indescribable joy You're a candle in the night… We meet eye to eye… What a sight…what a precious sight
You and I. You. Your heart blazed, with a warmth of spirit, soothing, alluring, soaked in truth. Your smile burned, branding me permanently, gentle, tender, enveloping my being. Your love was complete, from the depths of your soul, unsaid, yet fierce, bathed in silent knowing. Your dreams were poetic, fluttering in the afternoon breeze, infused with the distilled essence of rhyme. I. I squandered your generosity of spirit. I vainly discarded your priceless poems. Now I stand, alone, empty, desolate, wasting away, rotting inside, day by day.
Our security is only in God alone! Not in the things we have, or what we call "home!" True joy can be found in God himself! Not from the things we have ourselves! True contentment can be found at the cross! Jesus' death paid whatever it cost! Eternal love comes from doing God's will! Any emptiness, his love shall fill! The love of God is truly worth finding! His eternal life is forever binding! Won't you take a moment and invite HIM in? And have total forgiveness of every sin? God rewards those who diligently seek him. Won't you reach out to him now? And receive him? By Jim Pemberton
God Gave Us His Truth, But Many Reject It! God gave us his truth… But many reject it! Many have chosen a lie… And accept it! God gave us his word, so we can live by his rules. Without God in our lives, many have become "fools." Refusing God's holy truth, and accepting a corruptible lie! They believe whatever untruth can "satisfy." For this reason, many have a very confused mind! As many look for answers of various kinds! God's word is the only truth to securely build on! But many have brought confusion to build their lives on! The principles of God's word, give true freedom to all! Won't you "wake up?" And heed the master's call? God is calling everyone to listen to what he's saying! It's time we seek his truth! In humbleness and praying! The truth of Jesus Christ is the most important thing! He has the answer to whatever life may bring! Please allow his precious truth to touch your life today! He can remove and take all doubts away! The words of Jesus Christ ring loud and very clear! He'll bring the sunshine in! Any darkness will disappear! By Jim Pemberton
I know of a brother, who's lost and confused… Many of his relationships, he's already "abused." He's not really sure, which direction he's going… There's a lot of wise advice, that he's ignoring! He's choosing to ignore the God who loves him. And refuses to acknowledge how much he needs him! He decided to leave his family behind him… Perhaps, one day, they'll be able to "find him!" I pray for this dear brother! He needs prayer! I know that wherever he goes… God is always there! Please, dear Jesus, touch him with your kindness! Without YOU dear lord… He's walking in blindness! No matter where he goes… Which path is taken! God will always love him! He's never forsaken! The words of God, must somehow get his attention! To give him a clear path, and a godly direction! May the love of Christ, get a hold of his heart! Coming to Jesus, is a good place to start! Whatever this brother does, or where he goes… Only the righteousness of God, can make him whole! Dear Lord… Be with my brother! That he may know you! During the journey of life, may he learn to trust you! The path of God's footsteps, gives one a true meaning! May this brother acknowledge God! And start believing! By Jim Pemberton
Jesus Knows All About Your Pain! "It's hard to see someone I love, go through so much pain." These were the words I spoke, When I called on Jesus' name. "This person whom I love has gone through so much." "How I wish to bring my peace and a healing touch." I cried and wept as I heard the master's voice. His gift of love is for us all... it's our choice! His body was broken. A sacrifice was made. His love... For our sorrow and pain... is what he gave! His grace is more than sufficient, for the pain we often endure. His love and commitment to you, is steadfast and secure! He loves you so much!. And waits at your heart's door. He gives peace and comfort! And so much more! The pain and suffering you're going through today. Please listen to the words Christ has to say; "I am God!" "I'll be with YOU... until the end!" My love and devotion to you will never end." By Jim Pemberton

A season of storms we weathered Fought against the waves of rain Tried to build our own shelter With what we had left Scattered all around us Only for it to be blown away Leaving us naked Exposed to the elements Shivering from being soaked We could feel it in our bones Weary and worn Our spirits beat down Finding no relief We began to seek escape In all the wrong places Only to travel in circles With no direction But we kept trudging through the mud Against the relentless wind Losing sight of the plans laid out for us Losing sight of what we held close to our hearts Only looking at what we lost Losing the sense to fight Until we were neck deep Until we were drained Until we had nothing left in us Until it seemed all hope was gone Of escaping this never ending season Solid ground was nowhere in sight Our knees buckled and we fell Crawling with every last thing we had in us Until we collapsed The fight was over Laying there realizing What we were losing That we gave it our all Fought with all our might But that we could no longer continue This seemingly never ending battle Our vision had become cloudy We lost our way We lost everything so dear Raining pelting down on us Mixing with our tears Unable to hear our sobs Unable to hear our hearts break Over the roar of the thunder We done all we could do on our own The only place to look is up now Look to the heavens To see a break in the clouds A ray of sunshine beams through As the last drop of rain falls Glistening like a diamond We are bathed in light and warmth Relief washing over us A single ray of hope Beckoning us As the clouds roll away Seeing the beauty All around us That was always there Masked by a season of storms Trying to survive them on our own Instead of seeking The Shelter in the storm We find the strength to stand Embracing each other desperately Realizing what we almost lost Crying tears of joy Something happened inside of us Our eyes were opened Our hearts softened Filled with hope Neither has felt before Hand in hand We began to walk in the direction of the Light

I can't always tell you what I see, Or what you'll have in this life. But honey please believe me, I'm striving to show you somehow. I'm begging Forever to hold you, And I'm pleading time to stand still. And if all the world needs to disappear, Then all will be done by my will. I've seen Heaven and Hell join forces. I've wished on the stars in your eyes. If ever I think that I've lost sight, Well you're there to help guide back my mind. And I can't fight the tears that keep coming When I fall through the darkness in light. And when I'm lost in lines and verses, You know I'll find hope through life. I can't always tell you tomorrow, But there's a reason that I'm here tonight. I'm not one for superstition; I keep looking for truth in this life, But still I wish on the stars in your eyes. And I can't fight the tears that keep coming When I fall through the darkness in light. And when I'm lost in lines and verses, You know I'll find hope through life. Yeah you know I'll find hope through life. Yes I know that I'll find hope through life.
A scatter of iridescent wings beneath the shattered glass. A collection of still butterflies, dead memories of my past. An attempt to break the patterns of a life not lived before. The remnants of a squandered fortune I'm left no less, no more. I try to see beyond my walls of Crystal city's broken dreams. I listen in the silence, for my own protracted screams. I'm growing yet, I'll grow still more, to be a better man, like a diamond forming in the ground, to glitter on your hand. A scatter of iridescent wings, beneath the shattered glass, a collection of still butterflies, dead memories of my past. The past is ever fading. The days ahead seem bright. I tried to overcome the drug, God knows I lost the fight. The only way I'll win the war, is to give my soul, my life to God. He is the Fisher of all men, I'm bending down the rod. He is my strength, my source of light, when I'm lost out in the dark. I know that he will save my life, and allow new light to spark. A scatter of iridescent wings beneath the shattered glass a collection of still butterflies, dead memories of my past. The butterflies will stir again. They'll fly the winds they did before. The shattered glass will crystalize and bend the light once more. A rainbow of refraction. The sun beams through the glass. The collection of still butterflies, is free again at last.
What's Happening to Marriages Today? I was listening to someone just the other day… And I couldn't believe what he had to say! He had left his wife and children for another! She was young enough to be his daughter! Here they were, "in love" and holding hands! Hoping to soon, get their "wedding bands!" They were pretending that this was so "cool." Living now by their own "set of rules!" How sick and disgusting this is getting to be! Is this something that many can't see? God gave us Adam and Eve to become one. To bear fruit through daughters and sons! He gave us marriage as holy vows are made. Not to march in an "adulterous parade!" We are treading on very dangerous ground! Faithfulness and commitment are scarcely found! The very definition of marriage is changing! As the family unit is always rearranging! Our only hope is in Jesus! And him alone! Let's promote his love! Into our hearts and home! Let's allow his love to be our heart's glue! And bring new meaning to the words; "I love you!" May his love bind our hearts and lives together! And remain faithful to each other forever! By Jim Pemberton
Seriousness settles in, like an old friend Seriousness spreads like a disease Infecting us, accelerating, our aging process Our youthfulness, our playfulness, slowly slipping away Our wonder in life, diminishing Seriousness leading to rigidness, pathway to small mindedness! Days and years, rolling into one Colourless, lifeless, mundane, dull and boring "What day is it?" "Don't smile or your face might crack!" Judgemental, cantankerous! Pompous attitudes, of modern day man Stubbornness and ignorance, clinging to what's familiar Seriousness, up tightness, humourless, imagination vanished, pathway to madness! The mind focused on its self created drama's Fears constantly being stimulated, from our outside world Personal insecurities, constantly being triggered, inside The past lives on, the present forgotten What was once important, now, left on the back burner Hard headed, victim orientated Righteous, self absorbed Emptiness, hollowness, helplessness Seriousness and ignorance, walk hand in hand Becoming, our best friends The vampire suckers of vitality Sucking the life, out of our personal goals and childhood dreams Lose of faith, gradually, losing our way Lost, amongst the thick of it Not knowing any different Everything becoming an illusion Seeing things as it should be In our own little universe, no one else's! Entrapment of the mind Our, personal intelligence, laying dormant Body and mind, riddled with dis - ease Heart beating hard, starving for a substance, we call love Numb, to the outside Numb, on the inside Desensitized! Going crazy! Consumed with our own self created loneliness and separation Ignorance meets insanity!
Dedicated to my children who have kept my dreams alive. LOOKING BACK We can't go back To the days of yesteryear To capture those lost feelings With those whom we loved so dear I am just looking back to see Where all of my dreams first start You know those deep seeded dreams Buried way down deep in your heart I'm not trying to revive a lost love That I once had forty years ago Or even trying to replace the twenty years Of not seeing my grandchildren grow There were times of much struggle Filled with pain, fear and torture It was the love I had for my children That developed my strength to endure My children only remember the 2nd set Of twenty years that have come and gone When they were all moving out on their own And when all of the grandchildren came along It's like I was locked in a rock Throughout those 20 to 40 years Not able to see my grandchildren Filled my heart with so many tears The bitterness you feel towards me Is understandable and really okay My children, you all have the right To your feelings and to feel that way I have finally made the escape Since that rock has split wide open I want you all to know who I really am I haven't changed at all, only my situation The gift of feelings we have in our heart Whether right or wrong, just happen It matters not what others may think We should let out our own self expression No feelings are really ever wrong In another's view or even our own Our thoughts trigger our feelings inside The feelings we have are ours alone Looking back strengthens my heart Reminding me I want to pass along To all of you, just who I really am Before my time on earth is gone One day I hope you will realize With you I have always been Filling you up with that extra love You may have noticed you've been given You have all filled up Such a big part Of all the dreams Living in my heart My best friend Grace, reminded me That our feelings are meant to be and to last God wouldn't put the dreams in our heart If He didn't plan to bring the dreams to pass My dreams haven't changed I am not letting them go They are for new adventures With new beginnings of tomorrow Now that I'm looking back I'm so glad to have survived I know now, my love for all of you Has always kept my dreams alive Florence McMillian (Flo)
Sin Is Fun Until… 24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. 25 He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. " Heb 11:24-26 NIV Sin Is Fun Until it binds us; In bondage we find our souls. No longer a choice but compulsion; Ruin, shame and lost worthwhile goals. Drugs and unlawful sex may be exciting, Until they have taken their score. The conscience is disbanded; The frontal lobe of the brain ignored. Right and wrong conduct unacknowledged; Sanity and stability fades; Sin Is Fun Until it controls us; In lies and crime we wade. Stealing from loved ones; Ruining lives along the way; Causing pain and utter ruin; Numb, no desire to turn back or pray. Sin Is Fun Until its season Comes to a completion. Death is the end result; Hope of nothing but the 2nd resurrection. Money all gone in pursuit of fleeting pleasure; All friends lost because of the enemy. Love a thing of the hazy past; Destruction and degradation sin's sanctuary. Sin's fun is a form of deception; Satan's tool for our eternal destruction. Satan tempts with his own discernment; Thousands of years of experimentation. Don't be tempted by pleasure for a season— What is sin but a long term lie? Sin Is Fun Until it bankrupts; Controls us to destructively comply. © Copyright 2012 Maureen LeFanue www.maureenlefanue.com

You plague me with your sweltering disease My heart throbs in unease You carry me off to a far-off island Your breeze keeps me flowin'…scraping sand Your names escapes my lips I tell myself, "Get a grip, dude…" But you decided to intrude... My blood drips to the floor I've been losing balance… The instant you pushed me aside Your quietude devours me… I can't help, but hide… I feel horribly disheartened…feelin' too insignificant To start my day with a good note Too discouraged to be motivated to run… You trade me your pain in the past I consume it like a bear My stomach is churning persistently…you're running too fast… I'm dowsed in despair My eyes stare vacantly…into space…they roam happily Your vigilance keeps me safe and sound…I dwell in your tranquility Your dreams caress my own… This intriguing comfort never makes me feel alone I'm under your dazzlin' spell… This is heaven – not living hell! I've been bruising myself over you…for a while now The moment you abandoned me that night… Your rejoicing mends my gash…heals my mind… I think better of you – everything's black and white I feel so exquisite when I'm around you… So inspired to reveal my might…just shine your light On me…and remember to meet me at sun rise… But I still feel malnourished… By your sweltering disease My heart refuses to beat in perfect rhythm – my high hopes nearly perished By your forceful breeze…pushing me on my knees I'm stumbling off my feet – I'm not at all pleased I'm not in the mood to be teased… I'm suffering…I'm not discreet How did you push me off my feet? Why do you make ME feel so damn miserable and incomplete? You plague me with your sweltering disease My heart pounds as I fall upon my blood-stained knees You carry me away to an unknown place Your voice still rings in my ears… I glance at your admirable face I've faced you way too many times – Your sparkling with majestic brilliance and pure grace
UNSUPPORTED CODE We often hear this topic across our nation. Another person crying; "discrimination." In our many attempts to not discriminate. It seems like it's God that we seek to eliminate. It seems like we've come up with our own "rules." And somehow have turned into a bunch of "fools." We accept many perversions of various kinds… But God himself? We seem to close our minds! In many of our lives, we've "kicked " him out. And refuse what he really is about! The words, "In God we trust..." Our money bears it! Anything of God? We're afraid to share it! It seems like the courts almost say he doesn't exist! And have brought much confusion into our midst! As many say it's "offensive" to display a cross… Many godly values have already been lost! It's time to wake up America! And begin to see! The kind of country we're beginning to be! A country that's foundation is getting off course. Being driven by a wicked and ungodly force! Out only hope is in God! And him alone! We must invite him back into our homes! To God and his word we must hold secure and fast! He is our only hope that our country will last! By Jim Pemberton
Today, it just doesn't seem fair That we are still able to breathe. They have given us their air- Our duty to lead the life they leave.
Man's Afflictions and God's Salvation! I've seen and heard of many afflictions! Things happen in life, that need our attention! There are things that happen that bring despair. Wondering if anyone listens or even cares! There's a God in heaven who sees what's wrong! There are many things that don't belong! Evil moves with a power and destructive force! It comes in many forms, from an ungodly source! God knows what is happening and offers a plan! His gift of salvation is freely offered to man! His ways of living are at odds with this earth! Anyone can come to Christ, and receive a "new birth!" If life's heartaches and worries are pulling you down… There's a new life for YOU! Waiting to be found! Your afflictions, for God's healing, is for you to receive! Won't you reach out to him now? And simply believe? His gifts of mercy and hope, is what HE can give! He can totally transform you! And the way you live! His salvation, for life's heartaches, is freely yours! A new life with Jesus can be true and secure! By Jim Pemberton
A Backslidden Brother… I have a brother, who once loved God and his word! It was God's call on his life, that he once heard! He was raised in church and taught God's ways! And promised to serve him all of his days! But, as he grew older, he began to really doubt. What God's purpose of salvation was about! He began to deny the power of the cross. And refused to believe that ANY were lost! He twisted God's word, into his own meaning! Very soon, m any lies, he was now believing! He wrote to friends about his new found belief. He had a new found storytelling with no relief! How did this brother turn from God so fast? Why does he believe these lies? Others asked! As time went by, this brother became confused… It was him, not God, who slowly began to lose! In a matter of time, his life began to "fall apart." As deception slowly crept into his stubborn heart! God's truth, that he rejected, can set him free! And turn his life around! For all eternity! We all need to love and serve God from within! And accept his total forgiveness of sin! God's word is true! And will never be put to shame! May we NEVER forget the power in his name! By Jim Pemberton
Thank You for the Mustard Seed My father gave me a mustard seed Entombed in a crystal sphere. It hung from a chain around my neck As a promise of rescue when I felt fear. It's what I had wanted, was dying for This portal to hope in a charm. Oh I was young and didn't know Trinkets don't keep me from harm. My necklace of hope was lost in the years As the message it brought was too. I wasn't aware that the seed still lived And from my parents grew. Sweet Jesus you said my miniscule prayer Could move mountains and save us all. That small belief turned out as a thief Of an naive child's doleful call. My pleas never came to pass, oh lord Those avés so pitifully sought. I'd prayed as well as I possibly could, Just as I thought I'd been taught. I ask not redemption, lamb of my youth Tho' relic and faith displaced. My anchor was sown when given to life And holds sure as any grace. Symbols are symbols and stories are old. Sometimes the lessons are lost when they're told. As was with the given mustard seed The charm is gone – but I live through their deed. © September 2, 2002 Kathryn McL. Collins Matthew 17:20 ~ And Jesus said unto them, "Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain. Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you".
We look for monsters in the depths of antiquity enlightened by dreams in our search We dream and create gods to solve our problems In truth our dreams are waste lying in the dim decay of lost time Yes I believe there is one God look for monsters and you find illness look for blame and you find pain life happens pain happens It is not a punishment from God I did not deserve to suffer the three year old with cancer did not deserve to suffer Yet she did thousands will suffer in pain suffer and fight with great courage they do not deserve self blame I love the concept of karma at time it speaks with a truth that appeals to my sense of self worth yet it is not the whole truth In war both the guilty and the innocent suffer give your cuddles to those that are in pain Perhaps we'll teach the guilty to care perhaps we'll teach the innocent to believe Dragons came from the imagination of man and the bones of the dinosaurs Gods came from the fear of lost crops go unto a hypnotist and he puts you into a trance you see with your imagination what he wants you to see Monks went onto mountains put themselves into a trance did they see just what they wanted to see
Midnight Cries In midnight skies the cries of love drift off to sleep in endless love. For he who heard them. Sent them hope, that God created a world for them. For us to see and bare good times. For no more hurt and devishlish crimes. For the earth which once was good. Is soured and torn. There are no morals or dreams no more. Or hope of good things when suffering soars. For they are crushed by his vast sword. For he who has the greater sin. He has carried and been burdened with. He has been forgotten. In times like these. Because people hearts bleed with disease. For they have burdened him with more sin. They have forgotten the pain he is in. For he so carried his cross with pride. A younge man who was destined to die. No matter what the world does think. This man did live before we did. We have lost our way in darkened times. Like lost sheep we have roamed, away from him. If youd only listen and help to carry his cross. Take the blame for things done past. Change our ways for hope to last. We wont do that out of pride. When he is denied. I feel for him. I pick his cross up and help him off the ground. For he is my brother. Who I have found. He has carried that cross. No man deserved his life in such a lose. Tormented and torturded to no extent. He didnt look like a mere man in the end. He coutinued to stand even after he fell. Showing me the strength of Heaven and hell. For a man so strong, so bold and kind. Showed me what we can do as man kind. He gave his life for everyone who reads this. For those who can not see. Do not be blind Find this man, for he needs you. He gave his life to save you. With your help, you raise his cross. You heal that burden of love. That has been lost. Ease his pain and find your way. For Heaven is a start and hell is a step away.
I was talking to someone, who's friend recently died... "I should've told him about Jesus!" "But I never tried!" He was thinking about many opportunities that passed him by. He didn't think about this, until he seen his friend die… "I should've told him about Christ." Were the words spoken. Now, he was crying out to God, with a heart that's broken. Scripture says; "it's appointed once to die, and then judgment." Our life is but for a short time, and gone in one moment! He began talking about how he "could've," or "should've." But this was just too overwhelming, for him to speak of. He wanted to share what the Lord Jesus had given… He was grateful for the fact that his sins are forgiven. He sat down in prayer and determined in his mind…. He'd share Jesus with others! This was the time! His friend was gone… And there was no way to reach him! But there was something God wanted to teach him! May we all be encouraged to share Christ with others! This is a way to fulfill; "love and serve one another!" There may be a friend that God wants you to reach out to! Christ has given all that you need… So won't you??? "That others may know Christ." This needs to be our goal! With God's help, we can share HIS good news with every lost soul! By Jim Pemberton
Lost Hearts We grew to love each other. But you swayed away. You turned an eye. You started to break. Now where are we? Are you falling down. Shall I end it here of this cliff? That the end of you but you will always forget me Never say whats isn't true I still love you. You will jump before saying that again. I love you even as I fall off this cliff. As my lover fell to their death I could only see the tears as I wanted to be with them forever and ever,But who is to say that they died that day who is to say they did not live on.We were together but our hearts become lost until this moment love had only been a game now it was the place were we have died.Together we are lost together are hearts are bonded forever even if we are apart,love know no bounds.
The Preaching of the Gospel Is An Offense! Scripture says the preaching of the gospel, is an offense to the lost. Christ' followers should share HIS news! No matter the cost! It seems like many in church are walking in a spirit of fear. Many would just rather live a life that's "happy and secure." "Why tell others of God's salvation?" This may offend! Why, it may even cost them to lose one of their "friends!" Many don't know enough of God's word to share to another. They have a hard enough time loving their sister or brother! God help us! For the many who Who claim to be Christ' believers! Many have listened to the lies of the great deceiver! Rather than being the person to preach the gospel this hour… Many don't seek the Lord's wisdom, strength or power! Ball games seem to have replaced a need for prayer… Why witness to the lost? Is there anyone who cares? It's no wonder why we live in a confused generation. As many families don't have Jesus as their foundation! The gospel of Jesus Christ is the best news around! It needs to be spread to every city, village and town! May we all be stirred to preach the good news today! And be stirred with the words that Christ has to say! Whosoever will, come and drink of the life he gives! And live by HIS gospel! Each day that we live! By Jim Pemberton 09/18/13
This town was the place we used to call our haven You don't remember which road we've driven on The stars were shining against your cherished soul You're a part of my belongings You're ascending above the ground The peace is still like hidden treasure – it's bound to be found I believe in you…I put my faith in you After the miracles you've performed You don't agree with what you truly are The sky is grieving You jump from puddle to puddle You're struggling to meet your destiny Even if your body is saturated in sweat You must keep your head above the sea Follow me and I'll lead you to divine haven Forgive the past that embraces you with remorse and think upon our jubilant future It's tempting to just give up and turn around I could tell you've been stressing out But rest your head on my shoulders and let loose your strain on me Each melody is an exquisite sound that bounces into our ears Commotion and strife will cease and your heart will be free We'll flee together…despite the unwholesome weather The voyage has just begun…hold my hand and we'll rise like the sun Trust me…we will be strengthened and well-equipped before we take that road of victory Follow me and I'll lead you to divine haven Forgive the past that embraces you with remorse and think upon our jubilant future It's tempting to just give up and turn around You'd rather be drifting away and never be seen again I wanna change your mind and erase your frown Take your mind off of the distressful past Let loose your strain on me Hey! I know you're stronger than you realize You're not a failure – don't be disheartened Don't worry…you and I will earn our future prize This mess will clear up in a moment Just stay by my side and never depart From the light… I promise that we'll endure till the end Just stay nearby and our hope won't tear apart We are willing to do anything to attain our wishes and delight Let's take action and snatch our glory before our time is up Follow me and I'll lead you to divine haven Forgive the past that embraces you with remorse and think upon our jubilant future It's tempting to just give up and turn around You've been trying to keep a steady pace But rest your head on my shoulders and let loose your strain on me Let loose your stress on me… Don't be under pressure Let me handle your anxiety… Reach towards our divine haven Do you need a helping hand? I wish you a carefree Future
Renewed life (9/28/12) It was mid- afternoon and the sun was hot As my eyes searched for a cool shaded spot. But there was none to be found As my feet burned from the scorching ground. It seemed like miles that I had traveled As my thoughts became unraveled. Thinking about how my life had been And in this battle could I win. I lost my job, my house, my family too Walking these streets not knowing what to do. But there was something that for years I had not done or tried As I fell to the ground and began to cry. LORD ! My life has become empty and hollow Is this a sign - that with you I should follow? Right there and then a cloud covered the sun When I heard a voice say "your life has just begun". Follow this path that I will give And you will see what it is to live " Then the sun reappeared and washed away all my fears. In its place came relief, and with it a new belief. Of HOPE , FAITH , AND LOVE Given to me from above. I followed his path and spread his word And preached to others that had never heard. In the homeless shelters I found my flock And from that point on - I did not stop. The homeless now have their faith renewed And this was the path that I had to do. I had lost and gave up everything From my old life, and the path I now follow is of paradise. © L . RAMS

My heart is beating with upbeat delight You astound me…in every shape and form My spirit is dancing with unbreakable might You surprise me…when you take my hand And pull me outtah my jail-like dorm And He dismisses me from my solitude… My eyes are glistening with bliss… And I'm far from my demise… Only to find that there's no need to feel helpless Why do you spoil me rotten with your fatherly affection? Just protect me from any harm Let me make my own decisions… To see the results in the long run You prize me as if I'm cherished like your carefree child You don't understand – I'm TOO foolish and wild I haven't even reached to full maturity But how eye hope to see myself grow and be set free From the world's mayhem Is there a solution to this problem? And I'm left with no answer… My eyes are eager to see…another bright day And the night is coming to haunt me… I find myself slowly disappearing from sight… When will God give me a purpose to fight? When will He feed me His awesome might? Just support me…especially during my downfalls Please answer my calls! And I'm left to venture off into His path… Eye can't escape my terrible nightmares Consider my calls of acceptance…my grief weighs a ton Let me pour forth my tears – Do me a favor and cast away my fears Steer me away from disorder and confusion Eye can see you're making great progress You're heading towards a brighter, superb future… My eyes No longer witness oblivion My eyes Looks beyond the earthly pain… bEyOnD the affliction I spot a rope in the distance. . . . . Push aside the waves…and let me Grab it this instant! God feeds me His love…and treats me Like a newborn infant! Eye see my Father with brand-new eyes I feel rare content And I feel hardly any resentment Eye cherish that REMARKABLE moment
Man's Confusion and God's Redemption! God's wrath is revealed against all ungodliness… Neither will he put up with man's unrighteousness His truth has already been given unto all men… And his love has been shown unto them. The invisible things of God, from creation, have been seen… Being understood by men. From HIM… who's made everything. Many haven't glorified him or thanked him for his creation.... And many have become foolish in their vain imaginations! Professing themselves to be wise, many have become "fools." By not obeying God. But living by "their set of rules." Changing God's glory to that of corruptible man. Many have brought a great darkness throughout our land. God has given them to uncleanness that abounds in their hearts... While many have burned in their own lust. Right from the start. Worshiping the creature(not creator). Has given a new direction… And has caused in many hearts. A deep "spiritual infection." Women and men leaving their God given affection in lust of each other. Have changed God's true design and purpose of one another. As God has given so many over to a reprobate mind… Many continue in shameful acts of just about every kind. Without an acknowledgment for God in each of our lives... We'll continue down a "deep spiral" filled with so many lies. God is our only hope. His gift of eternal life is freely given. Why not let him be the God of the way your livin'? By Jim Pemberton 05/28/1 (Read Romans 1:18-32)
I cried into the night death that I might die my life was a ransom of pain the work in my life felt in vain Yet slowly eye's raised to light and found my heart liked to pray death what is death perhaps just the door To a living much better than that Gods life can bring smiles to your day another life lost heart break and sad perhaps they do find loving dad fighting myself grim ripe and bad my mind a caldron of pain the war of my mind was so bad an equal to each fight I had battle the rage felt within free yourself from your cage learn to live and love life learn to be true to your self What is death to God his time to embrace us with life our lives to his heart his time to share love To us it's the end of this life to him it is the begining of care perhaps we roam as angels through a world of starlight bright Know I not for I am not God hate him not for he is not death love the builder of worlds love death as the doorway to life Do not rush towards heavens gate's we have such a short time to wait take the time to find love's embrace learn to love your birth Grace our lives with smiles of peace as friends lets embrace live's we live In loving god know then this peace you know not the gifts that he give's The ones lost to us only just wait Wait for our loving embrace yes it is true there's anger in you How could he take what he gave Know I not for I am not God I do not then know why we suffer so I just know that life has it's end again we will meet then as friends If we live in this pain embracing the drain the task of living is dread we have choice we then can move on We can sing the living song return to embracing our live's enjoy the evening sky's take the time to watch the birds To taste a fine wine enjoy a fine meal to hug then a lover enjoy a kids squeal Eat a meal to quickly and the taste is lost in the rush take the time then to walk enjoy a sweet talk perhaps you'll find the time care to share just slightly more fun employers push make you rush sometimes it's better to walk To bring then your joy back to life to bring back your humour and love to bring back the smiles to this life to take back the time for fun
Introduction: Limit itself has a limit of its own… A walk, mile after mile In quest for my lost soul, I had forgotten how to smile Everything felt out of control, I fought too hard to be worthwhile By that I got lost in my life's hole The regrets for mistakes I've made It took me off the edge, way too far away; Yet I tried again so hard to get off from that shade But got caught up in my brutal fray, The same song keeps playing with such a vicious rage, I find myself down to my knees, nowhere to go - So I pray A prayer to leave the worst and move onto more, Come off this fantasy and onto reality, to be - Closer to something I've been fighting for The touch of the light cutting through the night, it rains down upon me As I overcome the grief and believe, recovery lies ashore, Only three steps remain, to be fixed and free. A lesson of value I earned from my faults - Never push yourself off the edge, You'll lose the only key to the vault A life you never had to live – It too could forever be lost, So stay confined within the limits of the limit As it seems - Your control over lust, only can make you complete.
I'm hoping for my dreams to become a reality I'm hoping for a phase of gratitude I'm rejecting my hopeless fate I'm accepting your side of the story…but don't intrude Unexpectedly, I believe in love in first sight I grab the rope for extra support It burns like a vertical line of fire I'm unable to climb, but I seem too far from my desire I'm sliding down the rope, hanging from heaven They're distraught by my absence They're cheering for me from down below I'm sliding down… I cherish you like my own belongings I designed you on my bedroom wall I have you displayed deep in my heart Believe me – you'll never split it apart Every day I long for your touch – you changed my life around My heart is blazing like the zealous sun…I prize my freedom and progress The world is spinning endlessly as I kneel upon my knees And I imagine the memories we share with each other I'm sliding down the rope, hanging from heaven They're distraught by my absence They're cheering for me from down below I'm sliding down… When I reflect upon the joyous times, My heart never fails To pound vigorously for you I'm sliding down I'm looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you I see the light in your eyes I don't see an insidious nature in you… I wish I hadn't believed in the lies I never felt like a hopeless victim until I gave in to the darkness I'm sliding down the rope, hanging from heaven They're distraught by my absence They're cheering for me from down below I'm sliding down… I'm glad I've met you in the first place We're a perfect match – Don't deny it…you made me feel handsome We're on the road of victory We're making great progress We're hanging on the edge, But we were rescued From sliding down… At least we're kept ourselves alive……
A Chipped Heart... Dreaming, my heart brittle as glass, my solitary facade a pitiful farce, shards tearing out of my skin, seeking release, from cages within, I am lost, in the dream, bellowing out a silent scream, torn from reality, drowning in the now, yet I refuse, I refuse to succumb, I refuse to bow. My chipped heart, may be wounded, wreathed in pain, still, I believe, love, truth, belonging, will take my hand, again...
What's Done In Secret… Will Come Out In The Open! I've read God's word, and it's clearly spoken… What's done in secret… Will come out in the open! I've been guilty of this, too many times! I never thought of it, to really be a "crime?" "Nobody's watching" was the thought pondered… As my mind began to "explore and wander." It didn't take long for my life to go "off course." By a powerful wind of temptation's force! No matter how many times I took time to pray… This "secret" held on, and wouldn't go away! I went to church on Sunday and prayed and cried. This "secret" remained, no matter how hard I tried! God told me, I was to give up what surrounded me! This was hard to do, but God was there to help me! Many things I thought I needed, to give me pleasure… Didn't fulfill the love that God gave! An eternal treasure! As each day passes on… I want to humbly confess… I'm giving my life to God! He'll take care of the rest! May the Lord Jesus stir a deep passion within… May it be my desire to be more like HIM! God is the God of yesterday, today and tomorrow! I've no secrets with him! No more shame or sorrow! Jesus is the Lord of lords! And the King of kings! He's my lord and savior! My everything! By Jim Pemberton
I won't be happy with my life, until… I live in accordance with God's will! I need to seek his will, in all that I do! All that I face in life… He'll see me through! His will is the best design, that's in place! He designed me, because of his grace! Seeking the will of Jesus, gives a peace of mind! And helps me to be successful with my time! Serving HIM gives my life a true meaning! It's in HIS direction, that I need to be leaning! HE is what true joy and peace are about! He knows my life! Both inside and out! Thank you dear God, for being with me! It is no secret how much you love me! You are have come, to nourish my soul! By your will, I'm complete and whole! I bless your name! Forever you are praised! I shall seek your will! All of my days! By Jim Pemberton
As people are encouraged to "indulge within..." They often become caught and trapped in sin! Far too often, there's an enticement to "fantasize." Of the many temptations flashed before the eyes! There's a problem, too often misunderstood! Life doesn't happen, like many think it should! What's often acted out and too often displayed… Comes from a ruined life, that's been betrayed! One can easily find perversion of many kinds. This can easily "overwhelm" someone's mind! I know that it's easy to be "trapped and snared." It can leave one feeling alone and scared! That which you may have craved, for some kind of fulfillment. Has left you empty! With no real enjoyment! It's easy to fall into bondage! Difficult to get out! Victory in Jesus is what his power is all about! Won't you call on him now? And let his love "soak through?" He brings true meaning in the words; "I LOVE YOU!" His love is not in some kind of cheap entertainment! Only he can bring true peace and contentment! You don't need to spend money on the life he brings! He is God! And doesn't need to use earthly things! Sin has a price! It seeks to have your eternal soul! Only the blood of Jesus can make you complete and whole! The gift of salvation is from Jesus! And is freely given! He alone has the power to change how you're livin'! By Jim Pemberton
It is with sad heart that I say my goodbye. It is there I will miss the smile you put apon my face everyday. That just having you kept my heart pumping to where now it is dead of feeling. It is of a heartless soul to which exist within me. It is with anger and tears my eyes bleed. With that of a rose to which is of dead leaves,so does my being know of its feel to dry and die away. My sight is no longer there for like the fresh of breath he give me,it has vanish. I am just a person now and not a being. The love may still be there but it hurts me to take in deep air as my pain I feel on my chest is a kill. There I have lost the woman I love for life that once told,never look back. But to look back is the experience that life has taken,rather good or bad. But that of a trust to which was ripped and torn to shred. It was of a love one could know and feel. That to which made them stand proud to say I am who I am and this is my other half. One that only one could dream of with their eye's close but not to be pinch for awakening because their eye's where already open. It's there the pain hurts because loving you exist no more. That there is a void harder to fill and that's having you made everything seem so real. All blocks is gone because so am I. That you find nothing but an empty wall with no writting there with love but you find a man lost in the moment. Because their his love was strong for only one woman. He never really understand why she loved if she really did but them words touch deeply into a soul now torn to shred. But his love still is that one day it finds it's way back where it belongs and he may live to love another day instead of hating everything to which is now just life to him. But to love that specail woman that makes his world go round and time stand still because there she was everything. That now it's all just a dream. I Love~ them words doesn't even matter because thats all they was. Were something to hurt the being because there it really doesn't exist but in the mind because my heart bleeds river of blood.
Jesus, Give Me the Strength To Make It Through! Lord Jesus, please give the strength and power. To help me to make if through my darkest hour! In the midst of this darkness… I need your guiding light! With your help… Everything will be alright! I need you now! Like I've never needed you before! Through life'\s difficulties... I need you so much more! By your strength, and gentle loving hand… Everything I go through. I know you understand! Thank you for the work, in me, that you want to do! I'd be totally lost right now. If not for YOU! You are all that I could hope for! All I ever needed! With you in my heart… My life is totally completed! You've brought me strength and peace within! I love you so much! I don't know where to begin! You'll be there for me! Even when everything seems lost! You sacrificed your life for mine, by your death on the cross! Yes! Victory over my darkest hour has been overcome! By the power of God! And his risen son! Thank you Jesus! In you, my life is totally secure! You'll always take care of me! That's for sure! By Jim Pemberton
I really hate this feeling, sometimes I wish I could stop breathing. I don't wanna try, just leave me here to die. You were the thing that made my life living for, but your no longer mine anymore. I feel so much pain, sometimes I believe I'm going insane. I'm missing what we had, although it was bad. I'm always walking down memory lane, why can't you see my pain? I know people change, &&' things get strange. I guess I gotta face it, she's my new replacment. I can't believe it's really over this time, I feel as if i have commited a crime. I live in a world of sorrow, so I don't ever worry about tomorrow. I didn't even have time to cry, because i had already said bye. I feel like I'm digging a deeper whole, so I'm hoping Jesus will take control. I'm sorry for my dumb mistake, but baby now I'm wide awake.
Nobody Knows my real name 'Angel' Is what I go by I am freezing cold I don't have money Just, the clothes on my back I am a walking wardrobe I am lonely I smell like crap I am starving hungry I can't find any shelter My clothes are drenched I look like a drowned rat! Violence Upon women Is classed normal Around here! I wonder... If I will survive Another day? Only To wake up And Do this All over, again! "Protect me tonight As,I lay my head to rest" "I love you, dear God" "Goodnight"
Can this ever stop The world is blacked by the lunar love of my heart By the vapor of my mind All the tides have gone undone The mist covers my sight The beast comes out tonight -- The Storm Comes -- Her eyes are the color of dyed blue With her amber hair and crimson lips She sleeps quietly waiting for the innocence of me But I've already tosses her in vain I am the wolf she is the lamb I've already condoned my beloved Lillian Agnus Lilium Iustum Decorem The desire was so much Lilith strapped me to her bed Forgetting the shame is just a Another winless game Drive the wolf out of me Take me away from this Take me away from the Lunar Love The moonbeams light up my pale face I don't want to be seen Banished from this world I'll ever be Drive the wolf out of me Take me away from this Take me away from the Lunar Love I cry but the sun cant hear Do I exist? This eclipse took over The savage is in control Now I'm left to face it all Left in the dark where can we go Lunar love is what we'll be Lunar love is what we have I try to Flee away from the scene In thirst I was blind Her blood stained on my hands I must leave this land I've killed my beloved Lillian Agnus Lillium Iustum Decorem The desire was so much Lilith strapped me to her bed Forgetting the shame is just a Another winless game Drive the wolf out of me Take me away from this Take me away from the Lunar Love Lunar love is what we'll be Lunar love is what we have The moonbeams light up my pale face I don't want to be seen Banished from this world I'll ever be Drive the wolf out of me Take me away from this Take me away from the Lunar Love The ghosts are tangled in my dreams They play with what was meant to be forgotten But I know there must be a away To find the closure But so lost are we So lost I've been Save yourself from the downfall How close are we to the edge This is what the rage has done This is what the sin has done The desire was so much Lilith strapped me to her bed Forgetting the shame is just a Another winless game Drive the wolf out of me Take me away from this Take me away from the Lunar Love Lunar love is what we'll be Lunar love is what we have The moonbeams light up my pale face I don't want to be seen Banished from this world I'll ever be Drive the wolf out of me Take me away from this Take me away from the Lunar Love Lunar love is what we'll be Lunar love is what we have Forgetting the shame is just a Another winless game
The coldest white had fell Surrounding all the feet of those behind The day turned into hours Just in the mind Did the gift appear in night? Or were dreams reality? Did it come from karma's hands? It drifts from sanity The trek towards that happy place You've been there many times Something was different now It held a horrible surprise The box wasn't full of life and sound The ashes of memories made were here Taking longer to twist the knife Left remains of a child now in tears Standing still you couldn't breath Excuses flying in your mind Trying to figure out the scene Hoping there's time You look up to see Expectant eyes for the last time You wish you could keep But it's the saddest of a smile
My eyes Pour forth feelings That I've felt in the past They make my heart ache… Take it all away… Oh my God… They're making me sink in dismay When will they break away? When will they give me a break? And I'm left in my solitude… Do you hear me weeping? And I'm close to my demise… Only to find myself disappear… When will peace draw near? Eye don't see A happy ending in this scene My eyes Journeys into the unknown Who knows what will happen… They're like hidden treasure… They're buried far below… And I'm left in my solitude… My eye's weeping… And I'm close to my demise… Only to find myself disappear… When will peace draw near? Oh my God… They're driving me insane When will they see my reflection? When will they heal the infection? Eye don't feel Raindrops of hope and relief All I feel…is grief… Eye sense no peace… And I'm left in my solitude… My eye's sagging…from endless mourning And I'm close to my demise… Only to find myself disappear… When will peace draw near? Does He hear My supplications? Does He sense My fear? My eyes Conceals the tears that dare to spew out I feel trapped and lost without a doubt… They erase my delight… They seek my hurt… Oh my God… They're casting me away into the perilous sea And I'm left in my solitude… My eye's weeping… And I'm close to my demise… Only to find myself disappear… When will peace throw out my fear? Eye don't see A ship in sight…to save me from my demise My lifeless body... Drifts away in the wild ocean... Without a sound... Without emotion... Eye don't see A rope to hold on to… My hope for peace Has drowned…
Lord, I Stumbled and Fell! Lord, I have stumbled and fallen once again! By hanging on to a stubborn sin! I once thought, "My life will never get off track," Until that one day after I committed such a sinful act. "No one's watching me" was what I thought, I didn't now the pain and suffering, into my family, that I brought! That moment of "pleasure," I hoped would go away, But sin stares me in the face, every day! Pride crept into my once cheerful heart, It's now eating at me! Tearing me apart! I once thought I was "too good," to commit a sin like this! Many of God's blessings, I now will miss. To you Jesus… My whole heart, I ask you to cleanse. It's in YOU! That my life depends. Create in me a clean heart! Renew a right spirit within me! Your forgiveness in my life, is what others must see. The most important thing, to God that I can give… Is a broken and contrite heart, each day I live! By Jim Pemberton rev. 04/13/13
How can we fear what we're meant to fear if fear has been taken from the equation in the land of the forgotten the streets poured with fear of what was to come if they didn't live right if they lost their footing and fell but now there is so much chaos what's to fear anymore how can they fear if some of the most terrifying things are staring back at them from their very own television sets when they walk out their door a friend telling them of a man that was brutally murdered describing the lay out without even a quiver everything frightening is so common now why do you think we've lost sight of what to believe in why do you think in revelation it goes on to say few will make it to heaven because most of us are too busy living in the new age an age built by the fallen ones with no boundaries no repercussions and no reason to believe that anything actually exists God will not come down here and show you his face if it was that easy why bother for us to be here in the first place question not what you need not question for all will be answered in time have you not learned patience through out this life do you always know everything right away or do you have to wait to find your way if you can answer that you should know it's God you should fear in the land of the forgotten and in the new age as well 03/01/11
An Adulterous Situation I knew of a couple, involved in an adulterous situation. A person involved, claimed that he was a Christian! He told others that he wanted to tell her about the Lord… But this involvement in sin, he couldn't well "afford!" A "casual" encounter led to the marriage's destruction. Her husband was so hurt, he could hardly "function." How could this man think there's "nothing wrong with it." "It must be fine." He thought. "everyone's doing it!" Jesus has come, that we might have freedom from within! Going to church, doesn't give us a "license to sin!" God gave us marriage, as a holy and divine covenant! He gave us his word, so that our lives can be abundant! May this be a stern warning to one and all! That which may look attractive, will cause us to fall! If there's something more from marriage that you desire… Be careful! Your deep passions will burn like a fire! May I encourage you to pray and seek the Lord above! And ask him to build your marriage on his love! Only he can restore everything the enemy has taken! He'll be with you, when you may feel totally forsaken! Adultery is like a cancer cell… That will eventually destroy! It'll rob you of the many blessings, that God wants you to enjoy! What God has joined as one... May there be no separation! But a heart of unselfishness, and a renewed dedication! By Jim Pemberton
My eyes Refuse to see tragedy My eyes Marinate in dread…unable to embrace ecstasy And I'm left in my solitude… My eye's sagging…from endless mourning And I'm close to my demise… Only to find myself disappear… When will peace draw near? You don't see What damage you've done Just let me be Leave me alone…hand me a gun I yearn for unspoiled glory To make me feel perfect once more I yearn for flawless serenity To make me feel no regret…don't ignore My calls…don't hang up on me You don't see What damage you've done Just hear my plea Listen to my excruciating cries… Listen to the truth, not the malicious lies Our journey has just begun And I'm left in my solitude… Do you hear me weeping? And I'm close to my demise… Only to find myself disappear… When will peace draw near? Eye can't handle the stress Let me release my horrendous distress Eye can see you making that same mistake At least MY life isn't at stake And I'm left in my solitude… My eye's weeping…do You feel my lament And I'm close to my demise… Only to find myself disappear…Stepped on like cement I'm aching with discontent… I abhor this torment When will peace scrub off my fear? I can't believe my eyes Your guiltiness flows into me… I can't believe I fell for your lies Your heartless action rape my mind…you don't see What my EYES see… You'll never see How much pressure you put me under Unchain me from this chamber And watch me flee… When will you be set free?
Has the Glory of God Left the Church? Before the next church service gets started… Should it read, on the door; "God's glory has departed? " Many come to worship and don't even know. That's God's glory left such a long time ago. Many build their Sunday experience on "past traditions." Built on man-made rules and "false expectations." They don't want to hear the gospel of holiness! "It may offend." Their pastor no long preaches on what the Bible says is sin. Some have been going to church for many years. Still looking for teachers with "itching ears." Is the true presence of God is no longer there? It's no longer found in their worship or prayer. God's judgment shall begin at this very place. It hasn't happened yet, because of his unfailing grace. If God's presence has been left from your life as well, Remember his love for you will, never fail. Seek his awesome presence each day you live! He gave his son for you! What more could he give? Won't you see his glory this very hour? And be renewed by his word and life-changing power! By Jim Pemberton
Divorce Isn't Always A Good Choice! I met a person who's been married for many years. When he talked to me, he was in tears! He was faced with the option of divorce! And now, he feels his life is driven "off course." His wife said she's through. She's "all done." And doing things which seemed "fun." Beyond each day and the circumstance… Does this marriage even "have a chance?" Why do people seem happier when they're apart? Far too often, this ends up in a broken heart! Too often, people "give up" on what they believe! But it's so many lies, is what they receive! I spoke to this person, of God's purpose and meaning! Into God's loving arms, is where he needs to be leaning! When life changes, and marriage seems to have failed you… Jesus is here! And wants to put his arms around you! There's hope and answers to all of your problems! You'll find the answer in God's word! HE can solve them! The best choice for you is to come and trust HIM! Give Jesus your life! Come now and love HIM! All he needs is for you to give him an invitation! He'll change you! And make you a new creation! His love can do what no other power can ever do! He'll bring new meaning in the words; "I LOVE YOU!" By Jim Pemberton
A compass is an instrument that guides. Using this technology the ancients followed the stars outside. We as Christians in this world have lost our moral compass. Teaching vulgar subjects in schools, our true faith is in the past. The Lord our Father has a plan and has told "us" this would come. In Romans He tells us following these teachings we would be done. When carnal man tries to outhink the Father we will surely loose. Teaching perversions, homosexuality and taking the prayers out of schools. What are we doing? It's all in Romans for "us" to see. Our Father tells "us" this would happen this would be. Children are important to the Father "Only babes will enter the Kingdom" Let those who God wills see this is Spiritual wisdom. Our carnal minds, without God has lost its direction. We should spiritually in faith study the "Word" study His perfection. Our world is on a doomsday clock set by our Lord. His infinite wisdom His creations fail to see Jesus "The Word". Killing, famines, diseases, wars, pestilence, are all combined. Mans evil world the master deceiver, doesn't toe the line. Failing miserably because we are a world of vanity and greed. The compass is set by God the Father not listening we are suffering and in need. Without God, without the "Word" we are all destined to terror and gloom. We choose this deadly path we decide our moral compass and eventually our doom. The Holy Bible is the key put here by God it's for all of "us" to see. Without His help and love we will all fail spiritually.
Illegitimi non carborundum ;-) ...Staggering, my vision cloudy, I fall to the hard ground. when life's sharp left-jab leaves my face bloody, and all that surrounds me, is the desolation of loss I feel all around. I see myself slipping, down the abyss to where nothingness exists, still, I cling on, groping for a foothold, for my will to stay persists. I clamber up, I stand my ground, though battered and bruised I may be, my curtain is not falling yet, I have some fight still left in me. It is then, in the pit of despair, when all seems bleak and painful and dull, I summon the strength from deep within, I rise, slowly, to face the day, I refuse to sink, to wallow, to surrender, to throw in the towel, to drown, for I am stronger now, indeed I am, after all the years, and all the battles, I stand, bruised and bloody, still, I stand, I refuse, to sink, to drown, for they can try, to punish me some more, but I shall not allow them to grind me down… ;-)
Embedded in every aspect of life, blood. Wrath rips souls to shreds for worldly causes. Plentiful tears upon forever flood. Returning an empty vessel, man, to ashes. Blackened hearts manifest their loathing. Brother competing with brother for greed. Envy destroys the mind, with covetous lusting. Worldly ways birth another bad seed. Every aspect of breathing proceeds with caution. Trust is lost in planes of angry strife. Ambiance dreams in self-satisfaction. Mankind enters adulthood flawed by life. Odium thrives, falsly justified by differences. Compassion too soon lost feeds fearful thinking. Evil forces busily shuttle interferences. Clawing, character against character, chafing. But…there was a crucifixion. God' Son came to earth, a son of woman. Resolved to cleanse hate's affliction. Justice serving forgiveness to every man- Each eternal soul was bought by Jesus' blood, He washed sinful ways; set man's pure goal. God's loving sent in everlasting flood. Renewed, He embraces each righteous soul. © February 19, 2011 Dane Smith-Johnsen
Where shall I flee? I'm swimming in the waters of misery… And I'm crying a river…I'm saturated in woe How do I think cheerfully? I'm lost in the abyss…and the shadows won't let me be… And I'm bewildered… I'm fighting to break free… (I can't break free… Where do I flee? Why can't I break free?) The spiders are spinning their webs above me… Bless me and untangle me from this madness…please… give me peace…I'm wasting away – They're preying upon me…they're whipping me … warping their way inside of me My saliva drips on the ground…I'm growing numb and I pray The monsters don't attack my heart's desires…if I let them break free, I'll never be the same…I'll never see the light of day Where do I belong? I'm roaming in the fields of blasphemy And I'm crying a river…I feel like an awful disgrace… How do I find a pathway? I'm lost in fields of weeds…they're producing catastrophe And I'm bewildered… I'm trying to finish the race… (I can't keep pace… The sweat is trickling down my face… Why can't I keep pace?) The wasps are chasing after me…where do I flee? Caress me and save me from the distress…stinging me in pleasure…I'm drifting away – They're hovering all around me… they're harassing me…could you wipe away my tears? Find me a place of rest…to make the sufferings end and I pray The darkness will stop spreading lies in my head…if I throw away my fears, I'll never learn to face my fears…I'll never know His way… Where shall I go? I'm roaming in the fields of blasphemy And I'm crying a river…I'm saturated in woe How do I find the key? I'm lost in fields of weeds…they're reproducing catastrophe And I'm bewildered… I'm yearning to let go… I'm learning to cope with my fears… I'm deserting my woe… I'm wiping away the tears... (that has been bottled up for many years… ) The spiders have ensnared me in their webs… I'm in danger…I'm wrapped up in distress… and there is no where to hide… The wasps are tracking me down...I haven't paid my debts… I'm struck in alarm…I'm in a mess… Please stay by my side – catch me as I collide ( We're all together on this ride… ) I can't break free (please relieve me from my despair) Why can't I break free? Where do I flee? (this pain is too much to bear) I can't keep pace (give me the energy to shine like the sun) Why can't I keep pace? Why can't I finish this race? (give me some strength to run)
Writing a masterpiece Takes so much effort and thought My mind's settling in my comfort zone – feed me with flawless peace Words seem to escape me…my feelings mean naught Anger molds me in inside and out…I feel insecure again Peace barely meets my body Joy seems to abandon me like an orphan Faith passed away – it's buried too far below the debris Have I lost the race? Writing a successful book…writing in general Takes so much confidence and self-control My mind is stacked up with debt… Words splinter my tongue – I can't repair my tarnished soul Danger is placed in many corners Happiness is a few blocks away from me Fearlessness dives into me Acceptance of who I am – God's chosen one Have I won the race? Have I found His grace?
deathily feeling's of lonliness your heart lost another part eye's shadowed with tears ,no need to feel a shame life may never remain the same The love and joy of the onesyou have lost feeling hurt aching longing for that time Wish you could have said goodbye don't worry it will go away life will still move on time steady peacing with your life wipe those tears of sadness form your eyes Open up your heart to remember the wisdom of words and love that was spread thorught that person day's of living on this earth For those clouds that seem to darken your day The words of it will be ok seem to all clashed and sound the same for in your heart you know that it is in your masters hand and when you see a weary soul reach out for to surive ones lose is to help another stand
And so do I fall, and so do I fail, Falling so deeply into this destructive void, Nothing but ash and specs of dust that were once my brittle bones and scarred flesh. To not know what is ahead, How maddening! How so distraught have I seemingly become, Forgotten myself as time has smoothed over me. Tricky, sly fiend indeed; master and slave a like to us all. Do I dare move forward into the uncertainty that is humanity and of such society? So gut wrenching, thoughts filled of bile at what is. As we all are from and are the same, yet tear limb by limb the essence of ourselves by one another in an endless state of bigotry and violence; so brightly are we bathed in evil. So easy is it to see. Miracles; perhaps shall they see fit to carry me away from the void that is, and from such temptation, as to live the rest of days in blissful, stagnant dreams.
Even my mind not stilled by silence my thoughts outraged with hurt and hate as Im dumbfounded with confusion leaving the cause to no debate, I cannot tell you what is wrong to tell you means I'd have to trust, and my heart no longer feels willing, beating only cause it must. I feel a dead man live my life I see his cold abandoned heart, I hear his agonising cries as he is torn more apart, knowing no peace, no rest I find having no comfort, stuck in a bind a vagabond, alone in his life Ive been cut off, betrayal was the knife. awaiting death, and still much worse my whole life upon this earth seems like a scheme to take my worth and bring me to nothing, such is my curse and i fear the effects may never reverse and make believe that I am cursed. the way I feel too great for words too great to bear such constant hurt my soul depressed and left prostrate before God to help, I hope it works. . .
I laid it down beside me just an hour ago. It seems I must have lost it, or dropped it on the floor. Why does it seem so hard to keep it in my grasp? I never seem to find it, where I thought I used it last. Now, where was it on Tuesday? I NEVER seem to know! The thought of it just comes to me right when I want it most. I needed it last weekend but my daughter came too late. I wanted her to see it when my grandson came to play. My friend around the corner always has hers when the time comes she must use it. I think she must have ten! The pastor's wife found hers one day, just in the nick of time. She always has it with her now. "O' Lord, where'd I put mine?" I've looked inside the breadbox and underneath my bed. It wasn't in the basement, now My face is turning RED!! "O' Lord, I'm tired and flustered, back where I've been before. I've lost MY PATIENCE once again. Oh Please, just give me more"!
Jesus, I Can't Turn A Blind Eye Any Longer! I can't turn a "blind eye" any longer! As many souls have "strayed off" and wandered! I can't "pretend," that life's problems will disappear! The "sin problem," is quite evident and clear! I can't "make believe," this will be a better place… I see heartache and despair on people's face! I can't just "sit back" and not do anything anymore! I ask myself, "what's my purpose in life really for? I'm going to pray that God will make it more revealing… We all need to know our purpose and meaning! I'm going to ask God to help me make a difference today! And proclaim that Jesus is the truth, the life, the only way! I'm going to shout and proclaim Jesus! The true king! He's the lord, master and maker of everything! I'm going to pray that those who are blind, will now see… This same Jesus who loves us, and gives life abundantly! I'm not going to be ashamed, to praise the lord greatly! It's about time, that I lift up his name…. Lately! I'm going to ask the Holy Spirit to cleanse my mind… And help me to do my part in reaching mankind I'm going to invite you, to make a commitment to HIM! This same Jesus… Who can change us within! Please Lord Jesus… Have your way in me… All throughout! Loving and trusting you… Is what life is about! By Jim Pemberton
"What If...?" What if your "luck has all run out?" "No one listens" no matter how loud you shout. What if your life has come to "a dead end road." You've lost everything... Even your car's been towed. What if all you have "suddenly dissappeared." Your circumstances can be decribed as "wierd." What if you got on your knees in prayer. Knowing there's a God who really does care. What if you gave Jesus complete control. Giving him your life, heart and eternal soul. What if Jesus gently wiped away your tears. And his peace calmed all anxieity and fears. What if you realized at this moment in time. Jesus is worth more than a large gold mine. What if he restored that you've lost & all that's been tekan. With him on board... You're never forsaken! An abundant life is that he promised to give. And he will enrich your life each day that you live! By JIm Pemberton

Life surrounds us with miracles each and every day Blinded are the people who don't see the wonder display A child who's born with ten fingers and ten tiny perfect toes A child who's free from illness and healthy as he continually grows A single mother struggling to ensure the ability to survive Facing endless obstacles; her child's health promotes her drive A troubled lost soul in dire need, of a kind helping loving hand His suicidal thoughts evaporate; a now vanished forever disband An atheist whose religion is filled with hatred and disbelief As he takes his very last breath, the Lord's love fills his voided grief An elderly couple who's family is misplaced and sadly out of touch A homeless needy puppy who's love has given them simply so much An abused neglected child dwelling inside a house of dead Blessed is the hero who saves this child of dread A once successful entrepreneur who's lost everything he once had Homeless in need of shelter, a "nobody" lends him a helping hand Miracles are all around us, if we only take the time to truly see That the next one in need of a miracle could surely be you or me © Stacy Lynn Stiles
Christmas was always about God for me, It was memories, inner fullness…Begotten-Boy. Because God was the point, God's Son died bravely. Christmas was about giving pure heart's bouquet. Finding dreams, wishes, and bringing home joy, Christmas was always about God for me. Father's gift held the secret of wisdom set free Of hoping and caring and loving enjoyed. It is about God, Calvary, and forgiveness, you see. When December wonder is past, does Christ flee? Flee from the soul, leaving one on self to rely, lost envoy - Truth. Christmas was always about God for me. Once a year Christmas marks God's gift sent for me. By faithfully gluing my lost self to Jesus, I found joy. Because God sacrificed His Son, I am set free. I know that in heaven there was great jubilee. When this hollowed out husk of me, by sin destroyed Found Christmas to be about God and me. I know it is so; my faith sets me free. © July 29, 2010 Dane Smith-Johnsen Written for the "Critcise ME, Take mY Verse & Turn it inside out Make YOUR own!

Blackness, a dark version of me, badness, negativity. No matter how fast i run or were i run too your right behind me. Even the brightest sun doesn't destroy you, you only exist because of me. All i know is when i face the darkness you disappear, but to only return when the sun rises.
What child within us has not searched The heavenly expanse And felt utterly alone In the face of its vastness? Each heart beats alone To the rhythm of its streams, Yet each is connected in The consciousness of its dreams. Seraphs stretch their wings to aching, But knowing all the while, It's not the wings or wind that lifts life higher but love given freely in a celestral smile. So smile they all upon lost children Blindly serching, hands clutching in our dreams, To briefly touch the wispy softness Of shining saffron, angelic wings, We need not wings to navigate the motif, For we soar upon the rays of love And by universal love manifest all things, As below, so it is above. Oh, tender child, don't fear the night, Or too reverently hold to the pattern, All things change with focused thought, No need for a heavenly lattern. Your light shines brighter than you know. Reflect upon the gentle faces, Not Seraphs or the heavenly host, But wounded children lost in frightening places. These little ones whose darkened eyes Are now awakened by your touch, Can see your path more clear than you... Relax and learn to trust.
A while ago I was dating a stripper and felt like the king of the world I didn't have to pay for her to give me shows Even though I was nothing more than a fling to this girl Little did she know? I could switch my feelings off Learnt how to after my first time getting hurt Even though her job was dancing for other men I'd never end up regretting her Learnt to put mistakes second and blessings first Ignore the world and deal with my section first Pay the price for my mistakes, never found out how much an erections worth Because I won't sleep around if I'm bedding her Shortly after I had a conversation with an ex on the phone Thought I could have her back in a seconds worth But she flipped the script and said "Alex why can't you be alone?" I moved on from girls who hurt me I thought this was me being grown But then she said she noticed the change in my tone I became defensive, mum never loved me I come from a broken home She said you let girls break your heart, then write poetry and in every line moan Then she proceeded to ask what's wrong with me I replied I'll lie in my bed but I'll have a blonde with me It all goes back I fell in love with a girl I didn't stand a chance with The girl I planned to dance with Had other plans She was dancing with another man I decided to date her closest friend Stupid me thought it would be the quickest way to mend But the guy she was dancing with cheated And all I could do was burst out laughing She couldn't believe it But was more shocked by my actions We haven't spoken since so I hope you accept my apology with this letter But I was 16 I didn't know better Age 17 I got threatened by a guy with a knife who told me to hand over my possessions I pulled up my sleeves, showed him my self-harm scars and said you're no match for my depression Punched him in the face and quickly ran My life was worth more to me than it was to this man I wasn't going to allow it to break me Life is what you make it, not a case of what it makes me I'll take it where I decide to, it won't be where it takes me
You abide in the light I'll miss you…when you venture off at night Don't forget me… Don't discard me… Don't leave me… Forgive me for drifting away from you… Please forgive me… Please don't ignore me… Hear my pleas…don't turn the other direction… Run with me…into heaven's light I've given you my soul… I've shared with you my melody I've fed you until you were full… I've healed you when you were under the weather… I've tried to bring us back together You hang on the rope of hope I'll rely on you…I'll cling to you… You saved me from subsiding into the obscure abyss Don't reject me… Don't depart from me… Don't release me… Respect me for who I've become Please respect me… Honor my presence Protect me from any sort of harm Is it in your nature to relieve my anguish? I've been driven away by my affliction I've set you free from Egypt…and lead you to the Promise Land Have you forgotten my affection? I've tried to empathize what you're going through – I've gave you a helping hand Don't you understand? Will you ever understand? You abide in the light I'll miss you…when you depart from my heart Don't forget me… Don't discard me… Don't mourn for me… Forgive me for wishing for your absence… Please forgive me… Please don't give up on me… Hear my side of the story… don't turn the other direction… I'm still training for perfection Run with me…until we arrive at home Hold my hand and we'll take divine flight I've cherished you for so long I've lead you to my home town – Do you remember where you and I belong? I've given you my trust… I've shared with you my dreams You're an apple to my eye You were my angel of grace, promising concord – Bestowing blessings upon me Your vitality never wears off… You were my lamp – Glowing with serenity and elation Tranquilizing my mind from despair and unease I'll never regret…meeting you that magnificent night I knew that that was love at first sight The moment you stepped foot into the light
A needle in a haystack I am Lost, beyond the boundary of my being. It is a tiny universe you say Finite from infinite end to infinite end And still no bigger than the one Whose voice wrote the words of its origin And did he not came to seek and find me But yet I am lost again Among the infinite smallness of things On my brain flipping their little wings I can understand the needle Lost in so much straw, the infinitely small Lost in the relatively infinite pile Waiting to reek some future in havoc In throat, or skin, or trembling bowels In all the places I feel the phantom fear But cannot find myself as easy as a tear Is found to irrigate each thought I spawn With black wings cluttering the raw dawn Dripping, leaking all its contents to find me Wanting a Calvary again. Night's dark bottom drained Has no clue how deep I am in since Adam Opened the spillway to the bottom. Hell is a far place down in me, I cannot climb Out by myself, except heaven, the farthest place Away, hear loudest my whispered cry for help. Go winnow you haystack to find your lost pearl Here, the pearl winnows me, and still I find No trace of me in me, I am too scrubbed By all the bleached out years of black history.
Port of Call Barefoot on a talcum beach, alone, not lonely, with the breath of the ocean a caressing balm, soothing pained memories away, to the swaying of a solitary palm. Barefoot on a talcum beach, alone, not lonely, feeling the brushing away of all past turmoil, on a quest for solace, ever so hard to find, yet comforted by the crashing of the waves, as the tide cleanses all pain, and leaves despair far, far behind. Barefoot on a talcum beach, alone, not lonely, drenched in a sea-breeze of mist, that hushes the ache of bygone moons, tasting the salty tang on my lips, as the burnished sun, over the distant horizon, swoons, and dips. Barefoot on a talcum beach, alone, not lonely, searching, ever searching, for a slice of solitude, as memory bids a final adieu, reaching under the sea so vast, and seeking comfort in the depths, while embracing, the tomorrows to come, wishing that they be true. Barefoot on a talcum beach, alone, not lonely, seeing my truths drown, as they slip beneath the turquoise waters, feeling my heart ablaze, with a passion that rarely falters. Barefoot on a talcum beach, alone, not lonely, yet knowing that I am home at long last, wishing the waves would wash away, the defences that once stood, like an impregnable wall. Barefoot on a talcum beach, alone, not lonely, I have found, at long last, my final port of call.
Samson Of the Bible From the Bible, is the story of Samson. He lived an incredible life that really happened! He was to be a Nazrite, and set apart! His hair was to grow long, from the start! He was to deliver Israel from their enemy throughout! This was what his mission was all about! He destroyed the lion and bear with his bare hands! And sent burning foxes throughout the enemy lands! He destroyed a thousand! With the jawbone of an ass! God had given him such an incredible task! With his strength, came temptation's call! And soon, his whole life took a fall! The strength from God had departed from him! Now, there was no one who could help him! Ridiculed and mocked, he became a slave. He couldn't free himself, no matter what he gave. He was brought before the Philistine's temple. Mocked and whipped to set as an example. He cried out to God, for help that hour… God gave him the strength and the power! The temple came crashing down all around him! Now, there was just rubble that surround him! May this be a lesson, that speaks to me and you! God is not fooled, no matter what we try to do! We can act like we have everything we needed! Without God, our life is never completed! May we not compromise what God has given! And walk in his strength, each day we're livin'! By Jim Pemberton
Do you want joy and satisfaction that you "haven't got?" The peace and joy you want, can't be bought… Are you looking for fulfillment in your daily activities? Have you "pushed" the envelope, with your liberties? There's a road of "good intentions." It's wide and easy to find. But there's another road… Which God has in mind! This narrow road, to many, may seem strange indeed! It's only on this road, where you'll find an answer to your need This road leads to a life that's everlasting. There's a question, which God is asking! Are you ready to take the road that leads to heaven's gate? Will this be your choice? Before it's too late? Jesus stands at your heart's door knocking… The choice is yours! On which road, will you do your walking? Please take the narrow road! It can be difficult to travel… You should do this! Before life begins to unravel! Jesus! The prince of Peace... Rules the earth and heavens above! Won't you enter his haven of rest, and abundance of love? He is here waiting for you. So loving, patient and kind… Only in him… Will you find satisfaction and joy every time! By Jim Pemberton
There is nobody in this world knows how I am feeling right now, Trying to get it to all make some kind of sense from it some how. Filled with deceptions and lies leaving me nothing for me to find, One memory there is that is truly real cause there's none in my mine. This sickening feeling overwhelms me making me cold to my soul, I am surrounded by gloom and sadness the worst I've ever known. How is it I am to suffer like this for loving with all my heart , Always protecting you and always been the light in your dark. Why me with the love so true and a honest soul feel such pain, I should feel the Sunshine in my life not tears that fall like rain. Was it the blindness caused by her natural beautey and tender words, Or is it that I have lied to myself for so long it was almost absured. Difficult for me to face this grief that I had always anticipated, The moment you came back into my life these days been pre dated. It was Love itself I have wanted to bask in to know the Joy, This despair , lonliness ,and all the nightmares I needed to avoid. A wreck just waitng to happen and the wounds opened up again, Never thinking of when all began only wanting it all to just end. Days that will be lost and the memories you will never have, It's the worst kind of emptiness and confusion I've ever had. These times we share when we are alone and nobody around, The thoughts we have of fantasies are somewhat profound. Is there a lesson here to be learned and remembered , Or is it I am that lost soul that lonely Pretender. This can't possibly be the very last and the end for me, If so then it has always been what was meant to be. When and how it all went wrong and strayed off course, Something I will never know or do I want to anymore. There is nobody that knows what I am feeling today, I tried making sense of it and found that there is no way. A fence that will never be mended or memories replaced, Just a lonely life and a broken heart is what I must face . Get on with my life pray for better days I must do, How can I do that if it has to be without having you. Tac
Can God Find A Righteous Man Like Noah? After creation, there became much evil throughout the lands! God decided to begin a search for just one righteous man! Out of the many people scattered throughout the earth… There was only one that met the criteria for God's search! Noah was the only righteous man that God could find! Other than Noah's family, there was a destruction of mankind! God's judgment was coming, as the many storm clouds appeared! Very soon, every living thing was flooded and disappeared! Because of the righteousness of Noah, mankind is here today! Wherever sin and wickedness abounds... God always makes a way! If God began a search, would he find any that are righteous? There are many that attend churches, but they must be cautious! Living righteous for God doesn't count for the church you're attending! You can try to fool others... But with God, there's no pretending! You're either living a righteous life, or living a life of lies… You either love the truth of God's word. Or his word, you despise! May the kind of life Noah lived be a challenge to me and you! God gave us his son to die for us. What are we going to do? Through the shed blood of Jesus, we can have righteous living! May we be encouraged to do this, from a heart of thanksgiving! Won't you "get on board," the ark of safety? Why there's still time? You need to decide! The wrath of God will soon reach mankind! God will reward anyone who reaches out to seek him! Won't you open up your heart? And receive him? The loving and righteous Jesus is he! He's coming back soon! And gives life for eternity! By Jim Pemberton
To be lost is not very nice It makes you feel alone All you want to do is just Find your way back home. You don't know where you're going You don't know where you've been Its as though you're in a wilderness You scream and scream and scream. To be lost is not very nice It makes you feel alone All you want to do is just Find your way back home. You imagine you hear voices Whispering in your ear The confusion drives you crazy You start to shed a tear. To be lost is not very nice It makes you feel alone All you want to do is just Find your way back home. The torment and the torture As you walk alone You call out in your hour of need Please some-one take me home. So if you find yourself today Lost and all alone Just call out Jesus save me And God will take you home.
God Has Sent Jesus! God has given a wonderful gift!. Many haven't received it. He loves us so much! Many do not believe it. He's given us the gift of salvation. Many refuse it. All that we hold on to. We shall one day lose it... God gives to all, a joyous and brand new way of living! Many are living a life that is not fulfilling. Jesus... His Son... Is knocking at our heart's door. Many have said; "Go away!" I don't want you anymore!" God looks down from heaven, and what does he find? The wickedness and sin there is in mankind. Won't you accept this gift that he offers to you? The choice is yours alone. What are you going to do? He awaits your decision. You need to make up your mind. Now is the day of salvation. Now is the accepted time! Time is growing short. The hour's getting late. Come to him now! While there's still an open gate! By Jim Pemberton
I lost my mind once before Then my heart, but who's keeping score I lost all my strength, so weak and poor So, I searched my soul and then searched some more And then I prayed to God and in Him.. I found all four
The odor is intolerable Like a foul beast clinging to the end I can barely subdue its subterfuge But here I am, I'm standing here of sound and mind Waiting for the time that answers my own questions Can it race with the fires of Orc? Doubtful, but it can jog steadily can't it? The weather is awful, filled with sounds Penetrating a document not written It pains me to fight through the night Not because it's dark, but because I am just a shadow. Lester drives but Motional lasts forever Still driving Still crying And slowly dying as time waves on Like oceans that can't be seen. Nobody cares and everyone listens Ironic, like a bible that holds lies and deception Can its will be pierced? Can freedom stay free? Is it worth it to stay hooked when everyone around Seeks liberty?
It was you who told me Everything I wanted to hear For you loved all that I loved entirely. It was you who enslaved my eyes With your amazing heirs of grace, style and charisma Making sure that they never strayed nor told more lies. It was you who convinced me to take a walk that day And begin the greates experience of my life For we walked, talked and kissed the whole day away. And I wished that you were the one for me. It was you who placed your heart within my palms So that I could breathe it, so that I could feel it beat. But it was so great that I could barely hold it in my arms. It was you who took hold of mine And suddenly, you became its beat! A beat that beat all others so now only it does shine. It was you who became my hearts greatest beat For you set new standards for beats everywhere Making the rest of them cower and retreat. And I thought that you were the one for me. And now I'm a little upset you see. For I am not in control of yself when you are near And this is not me normally. It is me now Whom you've captured in an emotional net A net that knows no gloom nor any form of sorrow. It is my nights of sleeping in peace That I have given up for you For I get lost when I am with you. Lost in your smile, lost in your arms, Lost in that myterious universe in your eyes. And its me now who is beginning to enjoy being lost in you For the feeling is unique and unadulterated. Left untouched by dirty hands, But I still wonder, are you the one for me?
As I see more ungodly laws being passed… I wonder; "how much longer will our country last?" As many believe that God is no longer needed… A tide of wickedness has relentlessly proceeded! Many kind of ungodly acts on t.v. are displayed.. As the colors of the rainbow are often portrayed! A tremendous tide of filth and sin greatly abounds! Where are the righteous? Where can they be found? It's time to think of where our freedom came from! The blessings of God, we certainly received them! Our country's taking the wrong direction! It's almost like we have a deep ungodly infection! It's time America, to return to the God of the Bible! And refuse to worship and entertain false idols! On our coins, "in God we trust.' Is what it reads…. But deep inside, our country "spiritually bleeds!" Out only hope is in Christ! And him alone! We need his principles of truth in our homes! He is and will always be the one who's provided! Without him…. A path to destruction is decided! If there was ever a time… We need God this hour! We can't make it under our own strength and power! Please come Lord Jesus! And touch us by your hand! May there be a true repentance throughout this land! It's only though Christ, that our country can have freedom within! As we come to God and seek forgiveness of sin! By Jim Pemberton
The sky never really seemed to break up The sun never wanted to show up The innocence of a sentence is lost as soon as it is tossed In the pit from which I speak, I am far from weak But strong I'm not, determination I got but I have weak spot It is intertwined with emotion a friendly potion from which I sip After which I forget that friendship is a remedy for lonely But for me the cure is absolutely unnecessary Nevertheless, I got to keep moving forward Because she loves me she needs me but honestly it's scary The way she depends on me loves me unconditionally Forgives my faults even though she keeps complaining At times I don't pay attention to what it is she is saying Because I know, that no matter how slow We will once again grow past this nonsense Our fight will be past tense and we will utter a white flag sentence I love you, yeah I love you too And I say it, and I know I do But not to the extent to where she dwells She actually visits hell, when I forget to kiss her goodnight Forget to call her, or tell her I miss her, all these reasons could be cause for a fight She firmly believes that my time is best spend with her Any other logic will not occur, nor concur So I sit To conjure up a strategy, a fantasy to romantically sweep her off her feet Place my finger on her lips, don't speak, but bask in the ambiance Let yourself get carried away, by white wings attached to a display Omitted by words I can't say so as I sit I think this is OK But all these thoughts are for naught because not a single flower has been bought Not a single kiss has been brought to her lips that would tantalize her spine To let her know that she is mine So now I have lost her as well And now I find myself in hell Nevertheless, I got to keep moving forward Because the present moves with a pace that will deface Any case brought before it posthaste Be it future or past it will cast a spell so enticing Any hope I had will sing a song of defeat My heart is weak, but my mind is strong My actions are righteous my words are wrong A walking contradiction a cause with no conviction An elaborate fantasy lacking fiction I can see why they do not want me Could be my honesty or just my insanity I'm withholding a message cause I know you're not listening You hear the words but you're not listening This is for the world to see How twisted it has made me Nevertheless, I got to keep moving forward So I will
Jesus Is Here! The same Jesus who died on the cross, is right here! I don't need to worry, doubt or have any fear! The same Jesus who walked on this earth long ago… Is the same one, who can redeem and make me whole! The same Jesus who arose in his resurrection power… Can meet all of my needs! This very hour! The same Jesus who defeated Satan by his word… Has spoken his marvelous grace, for all to be heard! The same Jesus is the one who wants you to know him! One day, every one will confess, and bow before him! The same Jesus could return this very day! For HE is the truth, the life, and the only way! Won't you accept everything that he has given? You too can experience the power of being FORGIVEN! By Jim Pemberton
On June 25, 1962 prayer was taken out of school It was like losing a ring's precious jewel If you look into America's history You will find that it is no mystery From that date on we haven't been as strong I believe we have done something terribly wrong What they teach in history books simply overlooks Important information that has raised up a blind generation Youth, family, education, and national life is far from the same We have lost morals and values that our forefathers firmly proclaimed A Blessed Nation under God we have always been But in the last 50 years it has become destroyed by an abundance of sin Divorce rate is at an all-time high While so many children grow up fatherless and wonder why Gang violence increases each day Teenage pregnancy has become a common way Young people search for love in all the wrong places Leaders in government wear faulty faces Role models have become extinct Technology while good has caused many jobs to sink A nation rife with perjury Broken marriage covenants In need of surgery Unforgiveness extortion bribery slander and profanity We need God to restore us too sanity Hypocrisy, and lawsuits initiated solely for revenge and personal gain Doing things are own way has caused us much pain The rich are getting richer and the poor sit back and cry People have lost their integrity yet shake their fists at the sky If you want to learn open a bible and begin to read If we listened to its wisdom we wouldn't have so much need We have become too liberal as a whole Besides having so much debt, we are all losing our souls If anyone talks about God in school they risk losing their profession Yet more and more young people suffer from anxiety and depression Many are on medication making doctors filthy rich So many people are dying in their own emotional ditch Statistically we are on a downward spiral Many people turn their heads or just live in denial History is important to learn For it shows us how quickly society can turn We all have to answer to God someday And if I were you I would start to learn his way For if we are going to continue to be America the best We have to take a moment to address All the ways we have allowed this country to slip Take personal responsibility and restore our spiritual grips Weneed to take back the people's power We are living in a crucial hour If we don't open our eyes ears and mouths we will fall instead of just bend who knows this time if this damage we can mend. by: Sabina nicole
We Have A Perverted Society That Needs Jesus! As we see a huge tide of a sexual invasion… We have largely a perverted generation! Just read the recent news, and you will hear… Another sex offender has begun to appear. There's many confused lives and warped minds. Involved with sexual filth of many kinds! Our country is "engulfed" with lustful things! Many not realizing the bondage, this often brings! We read the news, and are "shocked" at what we read… Yet there's so many hearts that ache and bleed! Is there any hope for a person who is trapped within? Who feel that they can't escape the bondage of sin? Jesus Christ can bring the victory that so many seek! Only he can bring fulfillment each day of the week! The lies of the sexual pleasures will only fool you! These temptations will bring bondage as they allure you! The freedom you need is not from a movie or a magazine! It comes from the blood of Jesus and the love he brings! There's a freedom in serving Jesus! I'm here to tell you! He loves you so much! And will NEVER fail you! Run from the sexual sin, and seek God to overcome! All victory is given! Through Jesus, his son! Jesus is all we ever need! And brings true satisfaction! A complete life renewed with a godly restoration! By Jim Pemberton
What A Wonderful Savior! What a wonderful savior, in Christ, I have found! He picked me up, when my life was crashing down! What an awesome Lord, I n Jesus, I know! His blessings in me, he wants to bestow! What an example in him, I have to live for! It was for us all, that Christ chose to die for! What a joy and happiness, to my heart, he brings! He gives me a reason to live, shout and sing! What an opportunity you have, to also know him! Won't you confess your sins? And bow before him? What a wonderful gift! You can receive his salvation! The past can be gone! You can be a NEW creation! By Jim Pemberton
My God don't I have anything to offer to anybody can someone help will any one bother. I feel like I am nothing at all and I am mad at myself I can beat my self up that still doesn't help. Just problem after problem life seems so cruel and I am tired of not knowing what the hell to do. At times I think about what right for me, but its clearly a waste of time because all of the hopes I have every had was only in my mind. I feel so bad and my heart feels sad and the tears I cry now will fore ever last I guess that why I'm all ways mad. I have lost my spirit and deserted my soul just a wondering lost sheep with no where to go. I have lost my smile but gain a frown and my heart is weeping and breaking down. Why do we cry? Why do we smile? Why do we hate the things we no nothing about? Why dose love hurt? Why dose one kill? How dose hate find me and choose how I live. Is there a solution for a sheep who has lost his way or should he be punished for going astray.
no time to take the scenic route we're always moving apace no time to stop and smell the roses nor see the wonders of this place we're too stubborn to go out of our way always in a hurry every minute of every day people are very reluctant to come out of their comfort zones for of their careful plans they don't want a monkey wrench thrown but God sometimes desires that of our comfort zones we break out for there may be a blessing waiting if we take an alternate route Zaccheus, the main tax collector was a man with great wealth who went out of his way to restore his spiritual health he was a man of little stature and for him people had distain as he was tall with power and status from the wealth he had obtained but Jesus the Christ, the Son of Man looked beyond Zaccheus' possessions He saw inside Zaccheus' heart and discerned the reasons for his transgressions Zaccheus was so eager to see God's progeny he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree Zaccheus was a lost soul who had a desire to be found willing to repent and atone in order to stand on higher ground willing to refund and rebate to any and all from whom he had stole willing to reciprocate God's generosity at a measure four-fold now completely transformed he became a new creation in Christ no longer lost but to have found a new purpose in life so be like Jesus and Zaccheus and go out of your way to help, assist and lift up anyone who's in crisis from day to day as Christians we need to step out of the boat and our comfort zones and be a part of the Great Commission by helping God recognize lost souls but for the grace of God that might be me or you for it was by God's saving grace that you yourself were pulled through so take a little step towards Jesus and embrace Him as your Savior He in turn will take a giant step and fill you with godly behavior so go out of your way and be a help to your fellow man spread the wealth, love and abide and like Jesus stretch out your hands
(To My Proud Daughters of a Man-made World) We shift shapes and shades all day long Happy or sad we cleanse our souls with a song. Together we sat giving company, counting crows, The rhythm of our lives echoed in the shore. We are the rainbow people known to all; We answered the world to its beck and call. Then came the fateful day, mighty and dark We set out on a mission - a journey to embark. We dreamt of a butterfly dream, soulful and bright But the passage to heaven was out of sight. Our glorious land was ravaged by the gods, We lost our sight and calculated the odds. Hunger and stupor became our hosts We were defeated, but all is not lost. The wind fails to favor our sail, our spirits encumber In the land of lost we were outnumbered. The soul shifts in the endless tyranny of life Wicked wisdom cuts us through like a knife. The golden gate was rusty, the eyes wander for shade We marked the silver lining with our rotten blade. So long my sweet angels I bid thee well We spread to prosper but I cannot tell. We are the sisters of a mother's womb Until the day we rest on a solitary tomb. We burned the sacred books to get rid of the cold, To the world that is yet to come – We are the mold. ________
MidNight comes faded beneath my feet, All is gone above loyalty, love n' Trust. What have I done?? Can I regain The love once lost baby please Don't go.

You mean so much to me, I swear My love is on A thin line with; You..I need to know that your Love still survives,Through me. Tell me our love is not LoSt among The midnight sky.. I honestly love You!!! Truly no LIES... Baby!! All is Lost with~out you.
Dancing with the wind Dancing with the wolves Dressed in sheep clothing Rebels misunderstood Addicted to this Addicted to that Intertwine in a spiritual combat A tricky path with guidance lacked Marked for the soul to be attacked Until the day of meeting a soul with grace Embrace the new knowledge and retrace Back to the winds Back to the sheep's but, a new sheep ready for the next wolf to attack With the refreshing spiritual knowledge lacked
I was raised in a prison of darkness along walls of cement have I groped the hearts here deep scarred and callous no dreams of a child had I hoped Starved for affection and famished though surrounded by people alone sixty four rooms I could roam in but that place was never a home Just one more workhouse to live in my duties to serve and to clean no pay for the labor was given I was here to work and be not seen I could go days with seeing no parents went to school and to work and to bed my breakfast was in my room coffee the feral cat entertained in the shed This building has so many toilets even the master one I must clean I drop like a stone in my bed at night I sleep so deeply to dead to dream Though I live now this place with my father it's no different than with strangers I slept they too used me like a work horse their houses the places I kept Somewhere was lost to me childhood not a human soul I could trust I do not know love it is fiction as into this life I was thrust There were times I wished mother successful where in the peace of death I would sleep the pain of knowing I'm unwanted was to much for this child to keep I suppose it's this very reason I recognize the true face of Love the nigh hundred people I lived with qualify not of that place to be of I've been exposed to violence on children and all their secrets I can confide recognize the damage it does you and those who these secrets do hide It is easy to remain lost here where no true tracks be seen on your road where life has not direction or guidance and one is broken by the weight of its load But there are so many rooms in this prison and each every one has its own trap the master of death who has forged them place these obstacles in every path So while your searching for life and its answers the only one worthy to steadfastly teach should exist every day in your dealings and your connections from greatest to least I'll not care about the labor I give you as long as love my load is light we will share in living together in our unity we can delight I learned to take care of your body but it takes two for the care of the soul I could live alone here without you but it's the sharing that makes us whole...

Barrier of Sin Because of man's fall, there's a barrier of sin! The heart of man is wicked and evil within! No matter what man does. No matter how hard he may try. There will be a day when each person shall die! The days on earth, that we have, are just a few. We all will leave our body, no matter what we do! God has provided an answer to the "sin problem." He sent his son Jesus! He can surely solve them! He's willing to take away all of our sin and pain! We can find hope and forgiveness in Jesus' name! Won't you take the time, and come to him? He died for you! Even before you knew him! The barrier of sin can be knocked down today! Jesus offers salvation! And has made a way! The power of his blood can take any barrier down! For where sin is, his grace does much more abound! By Jim Pemberton
One warm and sunny afternoon, GOD sent his young angel on a mission. He said he must go down to planet earth, And bring home his youngest son. But, the angel replied, "LORD, I am not ready, What if I make a mistake? I don't think I can do this LORD, What if I loose faith?". The LORD replied, "I know you are ready, I can see it in your heart. You have enough faith one angel can handle, And my mission you must start". But the angel replied, "LORD, do you really think That I will make it down there? There are soo many of your people, Who will I know to bring up here?". The LORD replied, "Do not worry little angel, I will give you signs along the way. And when you reach the land, You will know which one to take". But the angel replied, "But what if I get lost LORD, And I don't know which way to go? Oh LORD, I am so afraid, Do I really have to go?". The Lord replied, "you will not get lost little angel, Just follow what's in your heart. Do not be scared my little one, For I will be with you in your heart". But the angel replied, "what if my wings get broken, And I can no longer fly? How will I carry your new arrival, Back with me through the sky?". The LORD replied, "if this should happen to you, Just call upon me and I will mend them. Do not loose faith little angel, You have all the strength within". The angel replied,"what if I DO make it, And your child does not want to come? What if he fights and refuses? THAN will my mission be done?". The LORD replied, "NO, my little angel, My child is ready to come home. You see, we've already spoken, He's asked me to bring him home. He has told me he can no longer bare the pain, And all his family is hurting. He wants to be in peace now, So you must GO NOW, AND HURRY! I have already prepared his place, And I have already blessed his soul. All you have to do little one, Is go down, and bring him home". The little angel looked up to GOD- And with a smile upon his face, He replied, "I am ready now for your mission LORD, It's now time for the next soul to take". 10/21/00
THE LAST ADAM Out on a date with time on time before time The first Adam wasn't the last to sin as recorded in historical times He had Eve for company and she aided aided him in making sin fun Out of anger, God took away everything but promised to send the son. People need hope when they trust fear Jesus brought hope and the Jews thrust him with spear Hope turned out to be hopeless; what is faith without faith? Destiny can be intrinsic; to die is our ugly fate. Man is still in existence after the flood; thanks to Noah's Ark Humanity is pressured to live in values and co-existence; light in the dark We are all hoping for change; to flush out the waters in man's dam The Holy Spirit descended and ascended; heard God will make a new Adam. Life is predictable; but the last time I did, I failed Life begins when death ends; evolutionary truth nailed Since the demise of Adam, man has committed more sin than he did Jesus is the last Adam; source based on revelation lead. Lordvip September, 2013.
Hopeful but its so mundane Filling the hollowness with more empty pleasure But it takes my hand and and walks me through this withering decay Into the ecliptic silence, Self medicated diluted dreams A mixture of over stimulation and desensitizing me Somewhere between ominous and beautiful Letting the darkness consume my conscious brain Until the sun can realign and pulls me back into this day To overcome this strange numbness Of self inflicted shadowing Butterflies once warmed me up inside until I pulled off all their wings Holding memories I cant forget while praying to a God who has forgot But we are only allowed to keep the things that we have already lost Sometimes living is not enough without sovereignty As these flightless insects crawl back inside Then perhaps through their death life would be more satisfied Finger deep I draw a line then stand to face a blackened sky I reevaluate Your presence now without You Lord then where am I Because this is me You were my light, subsequently my faith has died Somewhere below the surface of this shifting unstable world of mine
This fortress is coming down; It's been a long time in the making. This bastion can't hold its own; All these walls are shaking.
I always knew something about you would fade. Your words never could reach my soul, But they ripped my heart in half. With every being of who you are you tired, And tired but it never worked. And who I am seems to be frowned upon, Time and time again. I was never enough for you, And someday you'll move on to something great, To someone greater. And we're gonna grow apart, One day I'll see you somewhere and remember you. You'll be a married man and far past us, And it won't matter to you. It'll still scar me and even if right now I appear as the stronger one, it won't be like this forever. I'm breaking down on the inside, I just don't show it. And you don't know the control you have, I just had to write you this so you would know, That I'm moving on' and letting go, Even though I don't want to. You'll keep going about your life, And keep regretting me like you have been, And I've never regretted you. I feel like I've been pushed down, Pushed down, cut and pushed into the dumpster. The sadness is this is no longer a poem. This isn't a work of art, This is a sad way of writing a letter to a lost friend, A lost friend who shouldn't be lost. A lost friend who should still be mine. But I'll give you my acceptance of moving on when it feels, While it feels unbearable. And I've lost you. Odds against me, I doubt I'll ever have you again. I've never been enough for you, And I can't bear to try to be perfect anymore. I can't feed you the lies so I'm enough for you. I guess I'll always be imperfect, And unable to be yours. Hopefully you aren't always lost; Love and leave, Joy and tears, Mine and gone, One day we'll see.
As more perverse lifestyles are glamorized on t.v. I wonder what kind of country this is going to be? You'll often find on the news interviews of various kinds… Entertaining more garbage to "dump" into our minds! The garbage and filth they're often promoting…. They think this same kind of life, I should be "enjoying?" There's something very wrong with this picture! I don't need the news to give me a "moral lecture!" This may sound old fashioned and absurd… It's time we all come back and obey God's word! It's the word of God! Not the news, we need for instruction! Without God's truth in us, we're headed for destruction! God still loves you very much! And he hasn't forgot… You're always on his mind, and his thoughts! He's what you need to focus your attention and depend on! He is someone who's faithful, and you can count on! Won't you walk away, and leave the filth behind you? And allow God's love and mercy to reach out and find you? He will never disappoint you! With a brand new way of living! An abundant life with peace and joy…. Is what he's giving!

Didn't we do enough to earn the best, oh dear God? We suffered every day, and went through hell. We never left, we kept the faith in You, oh dear Lord. Why still didn't we earn the mercy of Yours? Why aren't we happy still? Maybe we forgot the sense You put into our lives when You Gave us the possibility to breathe, Maybe we don't see, or never Understand the truth that rises above us. It's complicated. Only holy ones can realize. But we keep going. We were left on the empty road, And there is nobody to take us, Nobody to save us from the sorrow. We may breathe. We may believe But how are we supposed to Find a way, oh dear God, When we are so lost?
Dried up like a reservoir In the mid summer heat The cracks in the ground Are like The life lines, upon my face I have weathered many a storm As if I have lived a 100 lifetimes, Instead of one! Bare, rough, dirty feet Shoes are hard to come by, These days Unless, I steal them! But, then I will become a target Having something new It will get stolen from me By some other gang Or by some cruel and nasty person! "Bare feet it is!" "Less problems, this way!" Feet are made for walking I will use them For what They are made for! "Now let's get something to eat, I am starving!" Loitering around Hungry Jacks and Macca's Asking people As they walk out With their hot, delicious, fresh food For a gold coin or two Dumpsters and bins Look nice, today! Only half eaten, stuff A lot of wastage! "Not the freshest stuff, but hey!" Make do, with what we have! The sun is shining today Not sure where to wash though... Water is scarce, thank god for public toilets They sure come in handy! They say it is fun And you are lucky to have freedom! But, It is a lie we tell ourselves To remain ignorant To pretend, we don't give a damn But, inside, We really do! For you see , There are sacrifices To the choices you make When you have to live them, out "Don't be a fool!" Life is no fairytale, on the dirty streets of hell! During the day, The city lights up It glitters As if It were made out of gold! It comes alive with people Rushing here, rushing there, rushing everywhere Not really knowing, what They are presently, doing People reminding me of robots, sheep and zombies Acting as if they are in control of everything When in fact, they are not! "Who knows what is around the corner?" "What is coming, your way!" Life is unpredictable, "Beware!" "Don't be mislead by the fakes, around here" "There is plenty of them!" Eyes are on you, Down every alley way Standing on every corner Watching you "You, are in 'our territory' now!" "Hold onto your bags tight!" For, I may be lurking behind you One minute there, Next minute gone! It is the nature of the game As I snatch and grab your bag When I see you off guard Taking your money Claiming it, as my own You see, I need it to survive on! I'm banking on you, being rich! I told you This place is a hell hole And, I meant it! This dark place Full of shadows and conscious deceit Will swallow you up Eating, you alive! You will lose your way In its pit of endless darkness There is no Prince Charming's, out here! There is no one to save you There are only damsels in distress Like me! No one Comes to your aid When you need it the most You could diminish and disappear one day Within a blink of an eye! Without a hint Nor trace of you, left behind No one will see it happen Because No one Opens their mouth up, around here! So, Love and appreciate, one another! Care for yourself and care for others! Tell your loved ones 'you love them' often And, 'Enjoy' The home, you live in!
UNSUPPORTED CODE What If… Christmas Never Came??? What if Christmas never happened? What if Christmas never came? Things around here would be different! It wouldn't be the same! What if the baby Jesus was never born in a manger? Mankind would be in serious trouble. We'd all be in danger! If the baby Jesus wasn't born. There would be no nativity. We wouldn't be able to display this during our "festivity." It's almost like this now! It's an "ever increasing business." It seems like nearly everyone wants "Christ out of Christmas!" Why does it seem like Christmas is losing it's true meaning? The very words; "Merry Christmas," seem to be quickly disappearing! Many say; "Happy Holiday." They worry they may "offend." Having a "holiday" without Christ…. Once again! We need to put Jesus Christ back into our CHRISTmas season! He is what Christmas is about! HE is the very reason! May we all take some time to rejoice in our savior's birth. May there be shouts of JOY! From the corners of the earth! Let's not take Christ out of our joyous celebration! We need him so much right now! All over this great nation! May we bring to him a heart of love for everything he's done. As we bring honor to Christ. God's precious son! May we continually offer to him a heart filled with praise! Not only at Christmas time… But all of our days! By Jim Pemberton
Holy books says it all You taught me how to crawl This will never change Never ends never fades Dear God where you are? Shattered piece of childish dreams This will never change Never ends never fades. I can fight for all my life, Not broken, not broken inside Never be so frustrated, Not going to commit suicide. Fuc*ing faith will fall, Mortals will stand tall Hell and heaven are all the same Live your life, don't die in vain Only you and I can make A better world for tomorrow Have faith in yourself And wipe off the tears of sorrow Make me scream, Make me cry I'll never fail to try. This night's has an end No pain will remain
He would visit her everyday His hair was neatly combed A flannel shirt he always wore, Whenever he left home. Sometimes whe he would visit She didn't have much to say, But some days she would chatter on He wanted to stay all day. He liked her in that pale blue dress The one that was trimmed with lace, She would wear it just for him It showed off her delicate face. He remembered how he met her The way she smiled at him, How many years had it been now Since they lost their dear son Tim? He said he'd come tomorrow And bring a beautiful red rose, But he knew she didn't hear him As in her chair she dozed. When he got home that evening He already knew, The phone call did not surprise him That he had lost his love so true. As he gathered her belongings Her Bible he looked within, A note between the pages read Mom is with me "Love" from Tim Lynn Barany
Possibly I lost count Because I did spend a great amount Of time lying in bed, thinking of all you've said The only cure I have left is the emotions I've bled In my life, I've been released...I once believed I flew away-- chainless and relieved I lost count Infinity
Atop the roof he stands staring out over the city A dark silhouette against the flashing lights Watching the despair and vulnerability Of the unaware mortals with lack of sight. They don't see his kind or the dangers that awaits Around every turn; in every aspect of their lives For only their suffering and blood will sedate The demons hungers; only the strong survives He should be their protector, their saviour But he's fallen; light tainted by the dark He chose her; sweet lips and divine flavor So now he bares the lost wings mark Those who's fallen from God's grace Destined to roam the earth for eternity A despaired and forgotten race Consumed by Satin's insanity He basked in Heaven's serenity and light But he turned his back for the sin of lust The tantalizing feel of her flesh each night Pleasure so strong it peaks to combust And sends him spiraling over the edge Deeper and deeper he slips down Closer to Hell; further from Heaven's refuge Forsaken and alone he is forever bound To watch man live, love and die To see remorse and God's forgiveness Never to know it and breach the sky Once more; filled with hate and wrongness He's a lil'piece of heaven spiked with hell An angel who has lost his way Jealous of man, so normal and frail Capable of only watching each day
UNSUPPORTED CODE I once was lost in the dark, with high cost unable to see, keeping distance unwilling to be, holding resistance upside down and turned inside out nothing but empty and full of doubt fighting with myself, not ever to win diving deeper and darker, driven to sin evil is hate & fear is the cause to fantasize Faith is hope and love is grace you realize into the night out of the dark once more so much more than there was before I am the way the truth & the light born again, life after death I once was lost now I am found
It's easier to break yourself In tiny pieces To show them how you suffer. It's easier to cut your hands and See your blood flowing out of Your body filling the silence which is Killing you. It's easier to say goodbye, Pretend like you don't care and Always smile, and smile all over again Because it is nothing that They want to know. It's easier to walk out the door, Easier to disappear when You feel nothing holding you To anything that in the end is Nothing at all, Especially all of them who were Trying to be a part of your life Occupying your mind and heart, Steeling what was real once inside of you But then they were all gone. It's easier you think but You don't know a thing. Nobody is going to show you the real That you pretend. It's easier to say but There is the hardest out there. To prove you wrong When it is needless I'm not going to. Because there is no sense To teach the dead to feel the life.
There Shall Come A Great Tribulation! You'll find In the Bible... In the book of Revelation. One day... There shall come a great tribulation. There shall be famine and war this world has never seen. "Satan's fury" being poured out upon everything. The Antichrist will appear as "the world leader." "The man with all of the answers." "A great world healer." People won't be able to buy or sell without a mark on their hand. While corruption and wickedness prevails throughout the land. Our only hope and answer during much chaos and anxiety. Is Jesus. In HIM we can have life abundantly! This world shall one day perish and pass away. God's truth and his word are here to stay! Come to Jesus now... He invites you to come. Accept the gift of eternal life from God's precious son! He's our only hope in this world which we live. He is so patient and kind... willing to forgive. Will your name be in God's book of life someday? Are you ready to meet him on judgment day. This world... or Jesus... the choice by you must be made. The price for your soul... on Calvary... has been paid! By Jim Pemberton
In my life I've been called many things Most of them are true It took me years to write them all out Just to share with you I don't know if I'm right or wrong The only thing that I know Is that I thank the Lord above For guiding me to my soul I once thought it was forever lost Lost as lost can be But that was just one more lie Devil used on me You see I am like a falling star A comet in the sky Who just won't seem to fade away No matter what the devil tries Because I feel like a rising star Dancing with the Son Who opens every prayer he prays With "Let your will be done" Tis our Lord who brought me to this place Then picked me for his team Where he taught me how to live and love And even how to dream
You Feel Like You Have No Where to Go? Do you feel like you have no where to go? Things have brought stress to your soul..." Do you feel like "everything's been taken?" You're all alone... And have been forsaken... Do you feel like life has "turned it's back on you?" You don't know what "in the world you're going to do..." Do you feel like no one's listening to what you say? You don't feel like you can make it through another day. If you feel this way... I've good news to bring! Jesus is here! Waiting to take care of everything! Perhaps you feel like you've hit a "dead end." There's one who wants to be your friend. Do you feel there's no real hope or chance? Do you feel overwhelmed by your circumstance? Jesus knows of all your troubles and pain! He's here now... Why not call on his name? Feel his goodness and let him restore our soul. He'll bring peace to your life and make you whole! Feed on his word... And let his spirit in. He'll meet all of your needs again and again! In God's direction is where your life needs to be leaning... Only he can bring true hope & meaning!

slavery of the mind to succed to the emotion (lies) Are we strong enough to storm the despair Or do we falter behind the façade over and over again Strive to reach the truth The kind is held back by all of the lies And the delusions of the unchained clouds Help us to believe again What we're all missing Is it all too late To send down a sign To send down the rain As the siren sings she's ready to be on the prowl On the prowl to hunt down our souls It's not real Pretend to send down the motion Our hidden notions Of our lieing emotions Help us believe again We're all lost inside Send down the rain Curropt against the pain Help us believe again We're all lost inside Send down the rain Curropt against the pain
Not once in my life have I ever been so low, So confused and lost not knowing which way to go. Trying to pick up the pieces of a wreckage I left behind, I often wonder if I have completely lost my mind. Everything I try no matter how simple it may be, Miserably failing seems all that there is for me. Hoping and praying that soon things will come my way, How I have longed for this to happen , soon someday. Stay postive and be confident that's all I ever hear, These struggles I go through has been this way for years. I feel like a piece of old railroad track tossed to the side, Only to spend all my time watching my life pass me by. Please I would ask could you lend a friend a hand, So confused , tired and I just don't understand. I'm the missing pieces to a puzzle the pocket with no change, Can't figure anything out and things just aren't the same. Help me to my feet and show the right direction to me, If you do this I know I'll get it right this time you'll see. It doesn't take much to make a man fall down , Much more to get him up when there's nobody around. There is somerhing I've learn trying to do it all alone, Without any help my friend you can't do it on your own. TAC

Satan Told Me That No One Loves Me! I heard the devil whisper into my ear… "No one loves you!" "Come over here!" In front of me, where temptations of various kinds... It was almost overwhelming for my mind! He promised "love." And much more! I had no idea of what was in his "store!" I asked Jesus to help the way I was livin.' I needed his love, and HIS power of forgivin.'! Would I trade all of this, for a life of deceit and lies? Being "trapped" by what was, Shown to my eyes? Was I going to trade what God gave, for a "pleasure of the moment?" Was I about to make a mockery of Christ' atonement? I ran, and bowed my head and cried… For a brief moment, I felt rejected and despised! I felt the Holy Spirit's presence all around me! Iit was like the love of Jesus had filled me! This time, I knew that what I had, was all I needed! With Christ in my life, I no longer have to be defeated! Satan is a liar! He has one purpose and goal! He wants nothing more, than to destroy my soul! Take notice Satan! This is what I proclaim! Everything I'll ever need! I have in Jesus' name! The blessings from Jesus, has supplied my every need! It's an everlasting and abundant love, that I received! Thank you Jesus! For giving what I need and more! You are truly wonderful! And are worth living for! By Jim Pemberton
The touch of your whispers has blown through the air And the wave of summer disappears in the sand There's nothing to stop these memories are gone Let the playbook now rest for the feelings they've stopped Slowly it turns the small hands on your wrist The knots in your belly have clenched like a fist You picture the east and close her eyes For the dawn's a coming in all of our lives The night's now bleeding forever it tilts Circling the orbit no rest from the filth Rivers are flowing and spirits are dim And the skies from the ocean will always stand still The pain from the east has moved to the west These days are numbered just like the rest Blind in the rivers the hand clears it away The whole world has changed in less than a day
How can I make you see That without you there is no me Without you my heart beats still Without you I've lost all will To dream of eyes that mesmerize Warm soft skin felt deep within Priceless is the warrant of fate Torturous, the time I must wait Without you my day is dark My breathing labored, spirit stark Abandoned feeling fatally ill Without you I've lost all will To Love ~
May We Not Seek Our Own Desires, But God! God's word says to seek HIS desires! Not our own! And to seek HIS holiness, in our hearts and homes! There are spiritual wars, that battle for our soul! From every evil temptation, we must let go! Each day, these battles continue on! It's a battle for doing what is right or wrong! God's word must be the moral compass for our direction... We need to seek this for much needed correction! We need to present ourselves, as pure to God above! And desire to be filled with his goodness and love! We need to be filled with things virtuous and good. And desire to live as a follower of Christ should! We must run fast from the "sinful traps" we encounter! And desire God's holiness, his love and power! God wants for each of us, HIS very best! All ungodly desires in our life need to be "put to rest!" God's will in each of us, must to be our goal! Only Jesus can truly make us complete and whole! Why not allow God to give you, HIS peace and contentment? And give him your life with a 100% commitment? By Jim Pemberton

September 1922 A woman is standing in front of a ship. Into her bloody hands she holds her daughter and her son. Their faces have lost the youth, terror has formed creases round their eyes. Eyes lost.Behind them flames are spreading like dragons' tangues leaving ashes on the wind on the waves of the sea, on the hands of those who died.Soldiers running barefooted passing the crossline a path they did not choose. Heroes who carried dust and fired blood and fired pain.The two little children are looking at their house. What is left now is flaming wood fading lights dying away. On the garden there is still the girl's doll with her cloth hands her eyes filled with gloom as if she still waits for an answer. The woman's hands are trembling.This is the last ship. Screams, cries, pushes people in the water, people on the ground trying to find a small bend to fit their carved souls. Guns are firing a soldier gets killed in front of the boys legs. Waves get rough, cover the port cover all eyes with salt uncover the truth of not forgetting.A hand is pulling the woman and the children on the ship.A last move , a passing to unknown with a coin on her mouth to pay the price of her transfer. Smyrna is burning like a star is falling on the ground. Million lights in the sky light up a drama of lost souls. Broken terrors of a life never to be restored passing to the other side with hands empty eyes closed. To those who lost their country in September 1922.
The older I get brain damage pain manages to destroy a poet expresses in twisted conceptions don't you wanna peek inside The eerier the night the more I come to life like a vampire lost in the street a viscious bite I pray until alright I may be more lost than tomarrow or I may remember myself now I may have been a winner but for all, in all I sorrow For when I touch into that inner llight I try and guide through by the candlesight as darkness is pushing its boundries in farther take the oxygen, out in order but somehow the candle now burns firm... like the question or listen to the legends that lay tapered off from the world it seems that seems off course in an unknown monk's hand everything has a cycle and all life has a plan when the top of that order has made me a man
I see how the shadows are lost in my sight, I hear the silence that shout me her pain... the sunset in the end, sadly is singing a trail of the dead wind. rivers of immortals whispers some moments , the nature is taking the springs in her arms, from the deep sky in the world are falling the breath and the thoughts of so many lives. I hear how the time cries with his fear, I follow the light that lifts me away, the time is climbing on my frozen lips and I burn in a chaos of stars. above me ,the night is throwing with white sparks, so cold and lonely in her amazing light... a bell is singing somewhere in the dark an anthem who gets lost in the sea. build upon broken blue glass the ocean of faith from us starts to flow, drops of wormwood comes to extinguish my thirst and my soul begins to cry. around me the warm air is moving so slow, above the thoughts that burned by the years, and freezes the many trails of the sun, on the long wide path of life. I'm stoned, I see the death that touch me, I hug the emptiness that flows from the clouds, the light puts away the shadows of the evening, and I get lost in the world of silence.
The midnight magic sprinkles in the air. I can hear the every breath that you take. Closing my eyes I am so lost to any existence. This moment is mine that I create. So very, very much I am content! My soul is engaged with such a paradise. I am aimlessly there. Ah yes! Yes indeed, You are my grass in the desert and I am so very, very near. The glitter is everywhere, I can breathe the every breath that you take. Closing my eyes I am so lost for time. This moment is mine that I make. So very, very much I am entwined. My soul is entangled with magic so sublime, I am without a single care. Yes, yes, yes! You are my grass in the desert and I do often come there. The radiance I stand and bear. I can touch the every breath that you take. Closing my eyes I am so lost without a cause. This moment is mine that I partake. So very, very much I am lost. My soul is entangled in this web of mine, I am so very, very much there. I am lost in time. Ah yes, yes, yes indeed! You are my grass in the desert and I am here to share. Blossoms are blooming everywhere planting the harvested seeds. My grass in the desert is all that I will ever need, even when so desolately bare!
REDEMPTION BLUES I SLUMBER I slithered through, I waded through Its bitter pills I tasted, I had its bitter feel at the tip of my tongue, A taste I was never to forget for long. Moments of tears Moments of bitterness Moments of sorrow Moments of laughter Moments of pain Moments of sanity and insanity; I saw them all. II Several times, When I sit on the meadow Gazing at the moon and the stars And how they illuminated the earth, I remembered the moments when I cried myself to frenzy, Several moments I laughed senselessly, aimlessly and crazily Like the demented man on the streets. In my moments of insanity I was torn between two worlds: Sanity and Insanity. The world I belonged, I couldn't define, I was nowhere, just somewhere lost forever In an uncanny web of uncertainty. THE REAWAKENING III Sometimes, in my docile state, I saw my friends ride the best of cars Wear the best of clothes. Eyes closed, In my quiet moment, In my state of bitter meditation I remember a quote I once heard: "Hope is what keeps you going when all hope is lost, So never you lose hope on hope, hope will one day Take you to the place of your dreams." Hope! I never knew what it meant or how it felt, But intuition told me that it must be something; Something that affirms and cements ones faith in something. IV I could feel an overwhelming sweet feeling enveloping my entire body, Then did I know I was on the right track. Flipping through the pages of the Bible, I saw the story of Jabez, Born a child of sorrow, he cried, prayed to God And got his redemption V Sullen, kneeling, Arms outstretched to the Heavens I called out the name of the Lord, I never knew if He existed or not, But I could feel His aura in my heart and around me. Tears flooding my eyes, Joyful feeling engulfs me, And I could hear a voice from the Heavens and within me, Telling me "don't give up" Only cowards give up the struggle in life. You are a warrior, go out to the world and tell them it is not over, You can do it again". Smiles all over my face, I rise up, step out of the alcove. Gazing into the skies, I could feel a warm cool breeze sweeping me all over. I step out onto the streets, My life brand new, Life will never be the same again. Tis a new day, a day full of hope and grace, I had once lost faith in myself and in everything.
Please offer me guidance even though I've lost faith Please keep these shallow girls away who won't give me a chance because I'm not Drake I'm thankful for the food I eat and the bed I've got made But can you offer me guidance during my lost stage I'm a hypocrite I don't know if I believe in you Please give me a reason to I need a sign what do I need to do? I'm thankful for this pen I'm bleeding through Do I need to do this until the day that I die? As it's the way that I cry Why didn't those people stay in my life? Why do you take away people I like? Why do people belittle my progression? How long do I have to suffer from depression? I'm looking in the mirror please show me a reflection Please just answer one of my questions Why am I asking for help, I wouldn't accept it I care too much about my pride But I need help, look in my eyes Need to know more than just how to survive If not then put Pixie Lott up by my side Why am I breaking down by my father's graveside? I know I was forced to wave bye But I rarely even heard him say Hi Can all of my wrongs be made right? I'm trying to build a steady future But some are trying to turn a good guy into Freddy Krueger I don't want to show in your dreams Maybe I'm the only one who knows what I mean Can you give hope to the hopeless? Maybe help me become a better poet If you exist then please show it Forget guidance, just forgive me, I'm sorry I shouldn't of wrote this
In death, a journey comes to an end. Death's journey through life ends with a gathering of family and friends who reflect and comfort each, saddened by the life lost to them. The defining moment of worth on display, no longer able to express emotion, a waxen replica of what was. Those who now pass recollect then weep the tears of loss; laugh as they remember great times. So many memories buried, now surface for a time, again will be buried in the same manner. Mourned for a time, memories fade with each generation, until, no memory remains. A journey has come to an end. A piece of history lost again.
The way you look at me Known you for five years The way you smile at me My heart glimmer I see something in you A beautiful creature A king waiting for his queen The way you hug me Its like im the one The way you kiss my soft lips The suden change Its like I tamed the beast in you Your now someone caring You love is there just for me I am lost Not knowing how to appreciate Appreciate you gift to me I want a beautiful creature I want to be your queen I just can't I just can't I am a walking soul with no body I am lost in this world I am not the creature for you I am some girl with no body NO commitment No love in the heart Just a stone A dull stone Is it worth you love Is it worth your patience THere you are loving me Loving me for who I am The lost girl the lost puppy Then I realize you are my creature You are my king I am your queen We became one

I'm a child in heart I'm sensitive, So don't misuse it I'm God's special child I need to respect My zealous Father I need to honor Him With my young heart, I pray for freedom How awesome are Your deeds? Relieve my heart's ache Help me escape From the darkened pit I can be active And beat that race I'm on God's good side God's mercy Aids me in times of trouble I appreciate His consideration He fulfills me with elation
Whatever you do, don't let go... He's going to arrive soon – don't be overwhelmed Whatever you do, don't look back Woe is embracing our lives Don't let yourself turn to black Keep on track... Woe is dwelling in our lives... Lurking in every corner They sprout from the ground like jagged knives Wait until the dark tides Pass through us...God's still protecting our lives Whatever you do, don't doubt Him!! Don't be a forlorner - Be a conquerer!
Am I Concerned for the Lost? For the lost souls… Am I concerned like I should be? While many slip into eternity! With each day that passes me by… There's another lost soul That will die! I'm too busy to give my time to anyone. I'll never be able to reach everyone! I've never led a person in the sinner's prayer. "Why should I waste my time?" "Why should I care?" I know that Jesus wants me to reach the lost... But I've never thought about what this would cost! I know that Jesus Is the atonement for sin! And invites all, to be born again! May I have a desire to reach the lost souls! If one day, I plan to make heaven my goal! With God's help, I pray there will be… People in heaven, because of HIM loving through me! By Jim Pemberton
Lost acres of land to the man the great suffrage to be lost acres of land all I am is pardoned away from me For every lost soul deserves to think he knows a direction to salvation or just a false presentation of hope The blind man sees with his hand his eyes don't work anymore The blind man can sense with his mind more than you or me could ever hope for The messed up part about you and me is we counteract each other like an isolated mother from her baby I speak to wolves in the night howling at me with all of their might in lost acres of mind canvas I'm free in due time lost as a memory
A time for dreams, for presents and cheer Or perhaps to reflect on the passing year A time for each to give and share With the ones we love, to show we care The Christmas message is spread around But tis sometimes lost in lights and sound When that little boy was manger born With no great fanfare or trumpeting horn A boy so destined to bring great hope, belief And to a troubled world some faint relief But the message he spread as he grew older Is lost in hype as our hearts grow colder But it's time again to hear what he had to say Because we need some hope in this modern day A message of freedom, of life and love A belief in eternity with God above As you open your gifts and Christmas presents Think of just what this day represents Love, life, time with family and friends He gave his life on a cross to see it never ends So remember this during your time together A life with Him goes on forever And as you celebrate His birth with great cheer Recall He is watching over you, all through the year.
st. anthony,the patron saint of travelars and the return of things lost or stolen, is more about our soul being and our souls quest.we are all travelars in this world,our true quest is our souls journey.along the way,it's possible to become lost or a certain sense of wandering,not knowing for sure what it is we are feeling, but at times that inner feeling can seem more real than our perceptive reality. the minor detours and distractions along the way are designed to influence moments of giving up hope and losing faith.a negative force with only one purpose,their "sole"purpose is to steal our "soul"purpose and to mislead and distract us into losing our focus of direction,ascension.it's reference to lost or stolen things has nothing to do with material wealth,material wealth is but that classic carrot dangling on a stick which we'll never reach,designed only to create seperation of self,like a wedge.part of st. anthony's creed is, "while treasures lost are found again " .......is about the true gold ,the true wealth within' , the golden key neccesary for our approach to the golden gate.
Caught up in my own little world, love is so blinded Wonder if it exists and has anyone truly find it, would they share it if it's so rare? My faith wants me to hold close, but lost images are ghost, what is it that I want the most. To be close to heaven, will wings grow? Fallen… I'm light headed its effects has taken control like the intoxicating fumes from a red rose. What have I chosen, I can't change your life, to dream your lost dreams without the compassion to survive. Short of time the hour glass almost empty the beaches are full and plenty, as I walk the sands of time. So am I blind, trying to find something lost in dreams? Alone, still holding on to something, close knit to the drama of my life walking and fighting for something that's not there or anything that cares about me and mines. My mind stuck on this poetic verse; if I held it in would it hurt worst? I'm tried of the trying times , I wish hard times got tired running out of ideas to cause me misery , the river of tears cried are like clouds in my eyes, like love it's not clear. Keep talking I'll just walk this way maybe to a better place that would engrave a permanent smile on my face, stone hinge, a saving grace dressed in lace and love is my worst enemy. Pain just reminded me that I was caught up in my own little world, and my faith walked away leaving my shoulders strong. Long strides of pride taken knowing somehow I will make it. Even though I'm caught up
Lost? Found. Never has life's cruel temper dealt its deceiving hand as this day Lost-found in a place, living know not. Kinship friendship - words, verbiage to describe mortal bonds While those of the soul grasp bonds endless and dimensionless Youth is but a stage of dying Time cruel to its very essence. Time blows through us all as our sight through glass Its dark fingers paint our walls and carry us to our HOLMES Its cruelty is its existence. Defining agony, depriving experience Youth felt emotion lost through existence Found youth soul existence beyond comprehension Youth to us all? Youth has been lost but found where else But where time confronts us all.
I didn't know how good I had it, until I lost all that I owned. I lost my famly, all of my cars and even my home. I tried to live a life according to a "good principle." I let pride get in the way and felt rather "invincible." I once had money, wealth and a lot of fame. It seemed like everyone around me all knew my name. I feel empty now... afraid.... and "at my wit's end." Everyone. it seems, has left me. Even my "close friend. Jesus... You're the one I know that I can call upon. You make things "right" when all seems "wrong." What you can give to me, money could never buy. I humbly kneel before you Lord, with a desperate cry. PLease help me dear Jesus. I know that you can. I read in your word that you are; "I AM that I AM!" In YOU... Jesus... can I find life's meaning. Your life for mine, is what I'm now receiving. You're my best friend whom I love so much. I long for your mercy and peace... your "special touch." You alone can bring true joy that fortune could never give. You brought me hope and peace and a reason to live! By Jim Pemberton 2007
Stagnation is death, and I didn't want to die… My life was slowly turning into nothing and I knew the reason why… I cried, lost finally able to see… That dark cloud that consistently hovered over me…. Humbled and defeated, I began to cry and pray… Dear Lord… this is Faizah… I've lost my way… I'm drowning in this life, Love I never found… This world it has never been good to me… and now in sorrow I drown… If you still want me, I'm hoping that you could… Lead me into all things of you because in them there is good… That dark cloud said, why should you help me now? Cause many times before you've tried to show me how… How to be loved and live a life under your grace… But each and every time, I turned from seeking your face… This time Lord, I promise it will be different… I realize without you as my Guide, I could never go the true distance… If you could just direct my steps and show me that narrow path… This time I'll stay on it, no matter how long the tribulations last… All of a sudden from a distance I hear… A muzzled voice that began to come clear… This is the Lord thy God, your prayer I have heard… To begin to follow me you must submit to my Word… Through all of this darkness, just follow my light… I'm glad to have you back, proud that you have given up the fight… The fight of the flesh you will never win… The only way to victory would be to die to the flesh then begin… Begin to live in the Spirit… and be made new in this life… Grow up and mature in my Word, to continually reach new heights… I am the Lord your Shepherd and you will soon come to see… You were one of my lost sheep who is now found, and through me you are set free… Free to be loved, receive blessing unmeasured… Basking in the Will of our Father brings the greatest pleasures… So from this point on, don't ever look back… Continue moving forward on my narrow path, and you will never lack… Lack love, lack comfort, lack any of your needs… Because all things that were made, if made at all, were made by ME… In response to you Lord, I would like to say… I'm so thankful for this second chance that you have given me on this day...
Oh they heavens they did weep, for his soul was lost and bound. Destined to spend and eternity, six feet in the ground. Never moving, never changing, Trapped here alone and cold. The bony cold fingers of death, Grip his immortal soul. He struggles and he struggles, Though they never weaken. He screams and he screams, Praying someone hears him. Screaming,kicking,Scratching,Pushing, He tries with all his might. Though his soul is lost and bound, He will never give up his fight.
She was caged in his mystery. Just a glimpse into his soul; And she saw the anger flow freely. A father's blood tainted And with it came sorrow; And with it came unspeakable torment. There was not a person, That felt the pain, Its symptoms were distinctively his. Whispers like the wind urged him to be happy; As though condolences could take away the grief; Each face was featureless, each apology was a fake. She found him alone and broken. Within him she saw helplessness; It was masqueraded by a need to remain strong. On his shoulders was the World, The weight of which was becoming too much, Knees bent from the pressure. He looked at her and their bereavement was matched; Both cold from the tears, Both were searching for their escaped faith. A child was taken at her word, Lost amongst the other realms; She had felt empty. Her sobs at night were heard by none, Ridiculed by her traumatizing decision- He saw her standing outcast. Their inward screams had echoed outward; Only they could hear each other's cries. Drawn together in unity, a relationship formed. They were never perfect for each other, But their voids were filled. They were very much alike, and yet so different. They treated one another with disrespect. It turned their love into rage; This was followed by resentment. Hands unclasped as their families pulled them apart, Tears rolled from her eyes and his desperate struggle ensued; He vowed to someday get her back. He found himself anguished once more, as did she. For who would hold her now? How would he fall asleep? They would move on as all lost lovers do, But no other love could be the same. No lesson as great as the one that they had experienced; together.
These Are Difficult Times! These are difficult times, with many frustrations. Many people in hardships and difficult situations! Many are filled with worry and concern. Not really knowing which direction to turn. As more are getting dependent on government. Many without work have lost any kind of fulfillment. While many seek what seems to be the best "plan." Cries of hopelessness ring throughout the land! I, too, have been without work in the past. Wondering how much longer it would last. The months that went by, turned into years… As I sought assurance for my worries and fears. The only true peace and security I have found. Has brought love, when life came "crashing down." I found that what really matters the most! Is Jesus! And letting him hold me close! I knew if I lost everything that was around me… God's presence and peace still surrounds me! He made it very evident and so clear. Whatever happens in life... HE IS ALWAYS HERE! He picked me up when I felt lonely and depressed! With him in my life… I felt comforted and blessed! My problems didn't disappear in just one day! But through life's trials… God made a way! Whatever difficulty or problem you may face… Won't you accept God's gift of mercy and grace? He can do more than any other power can do! And brings meaning to the words; "I LOVE YOU!" By Jim Pemberton
I write of joy, I speak of peace, But I see only a world locked in tension with no visible release. A world in a frenzied state that has seemed to have lost all hope, A world that has lost sight as God hands us a saving rope. A world so full of greed, anger, and of lust, When lies set the agenda, tell me whom can you trust? When we start changing laws that have served mankind so well, In order to appease those that are headed straight for hell. Then our freedoms we have compromised with no one we can blame, It's hard to hold my head up in a world so full of shame. We must read our Bibles and adhere to God's every word, And lead the life He teaches or have His wrath incurred. We freely make the choices that seal our eternal fate, And if you haven't made that choice the hour is getting mighty late. I pray your eyes are open and to God your life you surrender, For in that precious moment you feel His mercy, so sweet, so very tender.
Senseless emotions swept away memories of the past remain today.We laughed so hard we almost cried are hearts said hello when are minds said goodbye. The wind echoes your sent away that was left behind looking for today tomorrow we will find tear streaked eyes that never cried and speechless mouths that always ask why. Dreams that come from sleepless nights whatever was wrong suddenly seems right. Vines wrapped around a helpless heart unknown sorrows that were there from thue start . Bringing the life to the darkness of death to some love is unknown but clear to the rest.
I can read you like a book, I'm all too familiar with that look. You've been lonely for way too long, I know you aren't feeling very strong. You held on until you couldn't anymore, To someone who walked out the door. Hating yourself cause you knew better, He never believed in forever. You fell in love again last night, And woke this morning alone, right? In your eyes I see the little girl, That loved to dance and twirl. I wish that you could see, Worthless is something you'll never be. All the shame and pain can go away, You don't have to cry every day. So turn around, you're not too far, To change you mind, be who you are. All those nights and days, Can all be washed away. By the One who's strong, He can right your wrongs. He will rid you of your fears, He will dry every last tear. Show you you're a flawless pearl, Again you'll see through eyes of a little girl.
I wish I had a way To watch you close your eyes The moment you give up searching For reality's light lost and lurching. I wish I had a way To watch you dance with fire In these shapeless bars of guilt Singing for each hope you split. I wish I had a way To watch you laugh so untramelled To find your world's secret chink The break of my desire's brink. I wish I had a way To blend in with your senses Like a flower over the wave For the dead calm to crave. I wish I had a way To carve your lost white outlet With my hands to absolve vainness Mould for you an earthen forgiveness. I wish I had a way To look boldly at your fear When your desires seem to withdraw Into tempestuous seas of dodecatheon law. I wish I had a way To watch you spread your wings With each great and each weak Flight you owe,flight you win. I wish I had a way To walk with you on paths That pass from instinct to need From need to wishes that concede. I wish I had a way To feel your weary hands hold The disaster along with the compassion Through time of destiny and passion.
The holidays are drawing nearer My problems are becoming so much clearer. My parents aren't the problem you see The only problem that was there was me. I'm the problem, I'm what's wrong Why hadn't I figured this out for so long? I'm the one that has ruined everyone's lives I shouldn't be here, I deserve to die. Now I feel awfully sick It hit me so fast, so hard, so thick. Now I hate myself even more Just wait and see what I have in store. But is it really all my fault? When my parents don't talk to me not even at all? If they cared wouldn't they say We love you honey it will all be okay? I'm so confused I don't know what to do I guess it's a situation where you can win or lose. I guess I've lost I'll try to cope But I've lost all faith I've lost all hope. I guess we'll just have to wait and see What will happen, what becomes of me. Maybe it's hope and faith I will have found But also maybe six feet isn't so far down .
I too get lost sometimes I too often struggle to find my way back home I too get depressed and at times consumed with the blues The mind is such an awful trap and that truly a fact You tapped me on the shoulder and brought me back to joy You said snap out of it and shake off that worthless pain" I am so thankful that you pulled me from the back You snatched me from the precipice and avoided a panic attack We must find our soft landing when walking in and out of time Had you withheld your courage from me I would be infested with worry But you injected your ray of hope and heel me with your rope It is indeed a horrible situation when trusted hearts are broken What an honorable feeling it is when the wondering lost are found Yes life throws a lot of pit-bulls and curve balls at our wall But with proficiency and guidance we grow like skilful catchers Restitution of happiness is built even when our ships are caving in I can't tell you how to carry on for weariness makes you disabled and skeletally frailly Just reach for that switch and turn your oil lamp on The light you see has a victorious shine and beauty sends its pride Trade your gloom with bloom and see your way out soon.
The Watcher The Watcher When the seventeen men neared the end of the bridge only one remained in sight all the others were lost in the shadow from the moonlight. He was dressed in tattered cloth; homespun gray, and eaten by the moth of strang decay "No livery", He cried "no making strides in death" "my life has ended on this bridge?" There is a plaque in place to mark this day it says on The Plaque Friday June 13, 1864 PFC Dreardon Age 14 was marking time in a prisoner exchange at BENTON creek when he was shot by Federal Forces. The miniball penetrated his left sleeve and took off his arm. He bled to death. His body was torn and bleeding so forlorn the tatters of his homespun sleeve stayed hung upon his stump of arm there. War is something no one cares for Mr. Sherman. MOFW 1964, June 13 Commerative The watcher was on the water making footprints on the surface when the Federal Forces under Sherwood marched into the History. He seldom interferes with history but makes the markers seem to be the truth. He saw the miniball tear off the soldiers sleeve the man had been a prisoner just released this crime is not unpunished the man that pulled the trigger is lying in the river at the Watchers feet. The Watcher broke his prime directive and almost gleefully erected the YANKEE soldier in the mud. A Watcher is no more A Watcher for when he acted he lost his power over water and he stands upon the battlements no longer but He is tearless in his vigil of the bridge. Every Friday on the 13th of the Month of JUNE of every year that has its ending in a FOUR, he gives a shudder of relief certain that his judgment has not been ignored. The rebel soldier gives a rebel yell and leaves the bridge. The Yankee minion that has shot him just turns over once and lies back in the mud. For this is judgment. The Watcher roars.
When God Is Absent… When God is absent, mankind looks to fill the void. They look for many pleasures to be enjoyed. When God is absent, his truth is often discarded. Then many of his holy principles are quickly departed. When God is absent, his love is often neglected. As his mercy and forgiveness is soon rejected. When God is absent, ungodliness quickly abounds. In many churches, his holiness is seldom found. If God is absent in your life, what'll you do about it? He's done so much for you! Have you thought about it? If God is absent, where will you go when you die? How much longer will you listen to "the big lie?" The big lie is that he's not real, as many insist. Will you go on living, as if he doesn't exist??? The truth is that God is alive, and he's real today! Won't you listen to the words of life he has to say? "Whosoever will can come and receive his salvation!" This can be the time for you to accept his invitation! God is here! He doesn't need to be absent any longer! With him as your God, your faith will be stronger! Receive him! Enjoy a life that's everlasting! The God of all creation can be yours…. For the asking! By Jim Pemberton 02/06/15
Although many years have passed Still having every reason in which to grasp The moral of the direction to come Poetrycraze In certain circles many have been lost in it's twisted ways Some getting a bit lost in a purple haze Yet we have come too far then to turn back now No sense looking back at the proverbial plow Poetrycraze Did you wake up late & claim, "It is going to be one of those days ? Through laughter with porch swings in time A challenge to be free is a question of a signature rhyme A thought by which on could even ponder Perhaps a call up a yonder? We cherish the dream so keep it alive In ardent fields we should all claim to strive? Poetrycraze For many years trying to win just one contest? I will never forget what you meant to me.
Four old friends. Four lost old friends. Young Historian: living in the past, pretending all the while. Ace Magician: lost in his own illusion, heart on his sleeve. Future Doctor: head out weighing her heart at every crossroad. Stubborn Dreamer: meant for so much, lost in had done's and would be's. But all stand united, Supported by a cornerstone. Building up their life, Under the watchful eye, Of Our Saviour Lord Jesus Christ. For they are only Lost, In the way of the worldly noun. In the heart of our God and saviour, They are very much found.
He enjoyed his drinking and wasn't much on an honest pay And so slowly he started sinking as he went along this way Being quick with his hands he began lifting peoples wallets When in jail he soon lands as karma sooner or later besets Then once he got out it was the drink he went straight for He was fighting a real bout as he wasn't like he was before He now slept out on the streets panhandling just to survive Asking whoever he meets to enable him in just staying alive And there he sat so drunk as the late autumn sun had set Then came this punk saying "you loser that's what you get" Jump in the river he suggested as he even offered to drive And no one even protested not even caring if he was alive Maybe this he should just do, in being in such a fragile state What he said must be true there is no reason for me to wait And so he slowly began to walk headed to the rivers edge As to himself he did talk but he was not about to hedge This night so drunk was he that he was barely stumbling along When a young gentleman would see in knowing that this was wrong He used a little of his charm and walked him toward the mission door Putting the man under his arm he knew that there was only one cure He was laid into a warm bed while he was just mumbling away Not knowing what he had said in soon passing out where he lay Yet that morning when he woke that sun shuttering in his eyes They heard every word he had spoke and each one of his cries Thirty years later it happened again a knock on that same door For there have been many men and there will be so many more Know who answered the door this time, that bum from 30 years ago Yep he found the cure as that night it was Jesus he came to know
So I wrote again. This took longer than it should have. Only fair to warn you, this is a long one. SHANGRI-LA Prologue The village gates stood, like old men stand Worn with age and bent by time Rust had claimed each iron face As had wrinkles done with mine The iron giants stood apart Shaking as the north wind blew Creaking as their maker passed I felt certain that they knew I am leaving Wuling now Gripped she by the throes of death Touched she by the hands of time Breathed she the last of her breath Nature would not save Wuling Famine leeched away her life Pes-tilence claiming her people Among them, my sons and wife Pain speaks every language known So I found when it found me And while not all men know its tongue I've come to speak it fluently Hard times then were made much worse My mind, seeking to reflect Made my memories seem as curse I, not master of pain yet I was young, when youth prevailed What held youth but sweeter days And a certain frame of mind That was bent on foolish ways? We were fools ere wisdom came We were glad to dream of heaven Religion held our vices tame Schooling us on sins of seven We were glad and light of mind Pleased with all our blind eyes saw Joy, the birthright of mankind Would dwell with us forevermore We were young when youth prevailed Nimble minds, and bodies strong But the reign of youth was short And we found that we were wrong They came upon us sudddenly The weeks of cold, the months of drought A strange disease swallowing my people Spitting shrunken corpses out We had hoped but hoped in vain I had prayed, it came to nought I, once smith of a large village Leaving it through gates I wrought Shangri-la Heaven having failed in hope Hope itself found wanting Having lost all I can lose I am left with nothing... I will go to find respite Where the dreams of men collect Where the signs of hard years fade And the weary can forget I will go to Shangri-la Ease to soul and peace to mind Strength to all those weak in body All that man can hope to find I am going to Shangri-la South of God and north of men West of every broken dream East of those who hoped in them Shangri-la, covered in snow Dwelling there, the ageless Yeti Older than the sons of men Wiser than the stars are many I am going to Shangri-la Earth's last sign of heaven touch Hidden from the eye of man Kept outside of evil's watch I am going to Shangri-la Nature's lastborn wrapped in ice Whitened by freedom from taint Holy mountain paradise I am going to Shangri-la Far beyond the reach of time Far above the grasp of fate Webs spun of it's own design Utopia will bring relief Severing chains of desolation Re-acquiantance with belief By the aid of restoration Let the past relent in chase That the haunt of loss may cease Gone sons, to a better place Found wife, an eternal peace Refuge be found in holy haven Pain be lost on mystic land Moved by change on tidal waters As in castles made with sand Shangri-la, a last resort Sought by many, found by few Hidden in the Himalayas Shielded from external view Shangri-la, paradise lost Closed to all enslaved to vice Seen by he whose need is most Never found by one man twice Shangri-la, the name brings warmth Weathered face wrinkling to smile I set on the road to rest Which I know is marked with trial Leaving all I know behind That my pieces be made whole I am going to Shangri-la Peace to mind and ease to soul...
Alone.... Lonesome..... On my own...I'm walking on my own... Never talking Except solitude
REJOICE WITH ME BECAUSE I HAVE FOUND THE COIN I LOST LUKE 15:9 WHEN MY FRIEND CALLED to tell me the story of how she lost One of her expensive hearing aids It sounded similar of the lost coin Diane described how she had taken care of 5 or 6 errands in a day During that time she placed her hearing aids in her pocket When she returned home One of them was missing Diane hurried back to all places she had been Retracting every step she searched for the precious item Her voice held such amazed joy and gratitude As she related the moment of actually finding the tiny hearing aid No wonder Jesus used a story of losing and finding something of value to describe the joy God has over "one sinner who repents When I hesitate to let go of an old hurt Avoid repenting of my wrong doings I hope the memory of my friend's enthusiastic discovery Will nudge me to give the Holy One another reason to rejoice Readings and Gospel Romans 14:7-12, Psalm 27:1 Psalm 4, 13-14, Luke 5:1-10
As we embark on the 10 year anniversery of 9/11, I look up in the sky and realize how lucky I am to be alive. So many people lost their loved ones on that tragic day. All the brave, couragous, selfeless people that ran in to help total strangers! They never for once thought about their life but, only wanted to others survive. The day the two towers fell, those suicide bomber's died and went to hell! The United States suffered a great loss, so much death was in the air. I pray every night for those who lost their life, for their families to keep astride. I know what it is like to lose loved ones but, in the mist of all the tragedy, a phoenix shall rise and the eagel shall fly high! The terrorists thought we would just run and hide. But, what we did was fly OLD GLORY HIGH! We as a nation banded together and helped pray for one another. September 11,2001, we will never foreget all the losses. All the people that did not survive, they are watching over us, dancing high in the skies!
What if your "luck has all run out?" "No one listens" no matter how loud you shout. What if your life has come to "a dead end road." You've lost everything... Even your car's been towed. What if all you have "suddenly dissappeared." Your circumstances can be decribed as "wierd." What if you got on your knees in prayer. Knowing there's a God who really does care. What if you gave Jesus complete control. Giving him your life, heart and eternal soul. What if Jesus gently wiped away your tears. And his peace calmed all anxieity and fears. What if you realized at this moment in time. Jesus is worth more than a large gold mine. What if he restored that you've lost & all that's been tekan. With him on board... You're never forsaken! An abundant life is that he promised to give. And he will enrich your life each day that you live! By JIm Pemberton 2006
The lost and found all walk this earth. We trudge along till death from birth. At the age of eighteen the Lord found me wallowing around in my misery. I asked for His help and He showed me His love. But when things got better I suddenly had enough. I was bound and determined to do it my way. My lust for the flesh led me astray. I never even knew I was so alone. My heart was so lonely. It turned to stone. Believing my life wasn't as bad as it appears. Lost in my addiction of sex, drugs, and beers. Stubbornly I continued to live the lie. Pretending I was happy with no love in my life. No matter how hard I tried all I could do was fail. I guess I was Jonah and the earth was the whale. Battered and beaten after the world swallowed me. Confused inside the belly. of the whale in the sea. I felt like a captive and I had to get out. Quietly whispered prayers with a head full of doubt. So lost in my sins I didn't think He was near. Softly I said, Lord are you there? And You said, "I'm still here". No longer living the life of a sinners neglect. Your forgiveness is love that I'll never forget. Now I know I haven't been forgotten. Of this I have no doubt. Because the Lord tickled that whale and the earth spit me out. Amen
Dug in a hole with no way out Searching for the light but still trapped with darkness Troubled and confused with no one to reach out to All I have is my little faith that is left To cry and pray for forgiveness A heart broken and yet alone Where to go from here when all you have is yourself The book closed where they are on the outside looking in You are challenged and become weak and give up your will Soon to realize its to late to trace back those tracks To be endeared with the advice to wake up to reality There may be no backbone to the solution but I have my heart and my will to do my best To grasp as hard as possible to reach my faith and to never let go To tighten my insecurities and make them hard to grab and conquer
The evening view reflects a part of me Somewhere inside the purple clouds a giant sleeps As I watch them float across a velvet sky Colored by darkness fading into neon light Beyond this horizon is a new sunset As I stand in the day before with old regrets It can feel like Im wearing my own atmosphere With my head way up high above the stratosphere As my fingers trace perfect circles around the moon And like a moth my soul is drawn to You Flying around the annulus of electric blue It's silver lining disconnects my dismal mood Then it electrifies a dormant life Awakening the sleeping giants eyes Once tired from sorrow they fall away like rain Flooding my world with only dreams of escape Now I wander through narrow and winding serpent roads Through flourishing landscapes, valleys, desserts, and groves Only trusting heavens brightest stars to be my compass wheel Driven by my blood and pain, my strength and will In fear I become more than the man that I am Determination gives my life to God and I say Amen I swear one day I will make it through to the other side Beyond this horizon and its pretty neon skies Captivate me by the grace and beauty of a violet sun Leaving my darkness behind where this new day has begun
It's sad, It's real sad, They said that you were bad You say there's no lies, That black eye says otherwise Please don't give in, Don't commit the sin Just the phrase, "What happens in here stays in here" And you punch the wall It's sad, It's real sad, You used to be a good kid Had all A's everyday Must've lost it when they said, "Go away" Had a smile so sweet Must've lost it when the said, "Shut up, or you'll get beat" I'm glad, I'm real glad, You came to me, see I got you through this nightmare There's peace here, with me I'll forever and always care With me, you will never fall Please don't give in Don't commit sin Find your faith in the Lord
Lack of anarchy This generation knows none It has lost all beliefs of the mothers and fathers before These times are a godless time That the scoundrels pray by and dance to with flames Murderers are given empathy and the sick... to many antidotes I stood above the altar waiting for a cleric But was ashamed of the men who held a cross and kiss to one another Children dying for the touch of an adult yet their games are still adolescent Blood spilled for the sole purpose of drinking in already a vein drought I cried for the times to end but the seconds grew patient and the minutes live Statues built in tyranny and now every country begs for violence and respect Lust at the tip of the educators wand Fear is just a name that history has failed to remember Witchcraft at the culmination of a holiday which we celebrate loudly and drunken May God pity this land Our hands use to ache with hard labor Now they snatch ignorance at the kneck Virtues grappling at a whim while the holiness has been abandoned like a ship Drifting away at a destitute harbour
Exceptional individuals are called by God to lead lost souls to Him; and the words they speak are truthful and bold; and they never lose heart... when they are tossed by a storm: their faith greater than doubts! God speaks to them and they obey, changing the course of human history; and when chaos and confusion threaten their safety, a promise is made into them: to live by compassion and integrity... until wonders and miracles will amaze them! Many have gone into sleep, rejecting the message of salvation, another chance for redemption... to awaken their dead spirit; and while they treaded the paths of endless fear... those exceptional individuals could have ended their despair! And, with perished thoughts , they wait in their grave to hear the angels' trumpets announcing the hour... with a hope never lost to eternity; they will be raised to life by God's infinite mercy, and be judged in the presence of those exceptional individuals who were saved by Christ's blood at Calvary!
my life was full of darkness darker than the sky at night then one day I saw an amazing light I wasn't sure who it could be then I saw Jesus heading towards me I rubbed my eyes in wonder ''Lord is that really you?'' ''Yes my child it is I now tell me is there anything for you that I can do?'' '' Oh yes! please take me out of this darkness I can't bear in any longer but now I've seen your Light I know that I can grow stronger'' '' my child take my hand and stay close to me For that's the way it was meant to be. ''you never have anything to fear For even in your darkest times I'll always be very near.'' '' You were lost in the darkness darker than the sky at the night But I've taken your darkness and turned it into my Glorious Light.'' '' Lord you know that I am weak But it's you that my heart will always seek''. I was remenissing yesterday when I first found God and how amazing he is, and this poem is for any one who feels lost or feels that they are in darkness, his Light never fails to come and to find us when we seek him with our whole heart and soul, he gives us blessings upon blessings and he rescued me and he will come and rescue you also, so say a prayer today Cry out to God and see His Glory shine, Just imagine when we see him face to face WOW no matter how dark things may be he can change it round he will change sorrow into laughter he will make all darkness bright. Just trust him to see. God bless you all '
Two Women I looked into a window and saw two women whose hopes had been ripped away from them. And they lost all natural beauty, And a man from the dessert was walking heavy laden, burdened with the sorrow I feel deep down in my bowels, A hole I tell you, he bore the weight of a soul that cannot receive the warmth of God. And his shadow struck the two hands and heads of the women, and they were healed instantly. In that moment, I felt a warmth in my soul and I threw up my hands and gave my life to sorrow. And this sorrow becomes dark at times, so very dark. But when I consider the people who have lost all hope and have lost their natural beauty, When I consider this burden and the hope of my shadow falling upon them and them knowing for just a moment that God's love is real and there is no need to fear, Then I think of the sorrow I chose and know joy.
When faith is lost in all you know, and all you love is dead. We find ourselves without our chains, but losses, greater than the gains, imprisons us with all we're shown What is left when you've lost all faith in Humanity?
Hope is built in bitters swell shaded grass & live to tell Hope ensues the inner scope of laughters door Hope derives a notion of negate useless chore Hope looks ahead through time well spent in ardent pillars being spent Hope lives on in certain factual sect Hope breathes in viable context In laughter we can escape the pain In hope we will determine the game Hope is more then a casual distant flame Hope is beautiful amidst its pain; Whether, distance be encouraged by hope Some our getting tossed & turned by a soap on the rope Cope With forces out of reach taking on second seed Everyone benefits with the hope they need Hope in God with a real reason to believe Hope in times of sadness fragments in beneficial clad Hope breeds hope are you listening Shattered dreams are being put to flight with hope to guide Hearts often will bleed amidst the obscurity Hope Tempted & angry keep hope Divorced and never remarry keep hope Love & lost amidst its toss hold on the hope When you can't even cope having a fight with the soap on the rope Hope Shattered memory's amidst the pain When the entire world outside is totally insane Hope is never ashamed, Where there is hope there is a way Where there is pride we hide from the pain/ Where there is evil one negates the flame yet still stays the same Hope amidst the battle that ensues Hope comforts lost loved one's too Shattered dreams filled up in a pot of stew Hope until the end my beloved friend/ Hope!
Many across the earth live a life without hope a life without any point in poverty unabling to cope So many without the basics struggling from day to day hoping for a better tomorrow grasping for whatever they may Do we shed a tear for them? do we even spare a thought? for such as these Jesus came indeed we His disciples are taught To all the whole world to take the whole gospel to feed their whole soul Jesus said to go and tell poetgord@2013
i wonder if those cackling coyotes hiking the surrounding fields sound anything like Hell, well, i sure hope not. Hell would be a terrible place to be. still, i feel and fill with remorse. it's the middle of November and it's ruthless Ohio with her revenge. with the love of fall beneath her and the sparkling of frost in her hair, beginning in the morning under a fingernail clipped moon and too far away stars and few headlights, ohio offers her lullaby here, now. scraggly pups made of fur and bone, calloused paws to a calloused ground, tough like old brick and new cement and an icy pitch bark that bites back. people are being pulled from these pages that used to keep me wide awake but now only keep me sad and conscience in the too broad daylight in clean clothes reading things too keep me soul sick, to correlate with groggy afternoon insanity that is not like tonight's cold but like a burning city, with me, standing—waiting at the pier with the commotion of some kind of humanity bleeding from the parks, avenues, alleys, clubs, bars, and markets but i only see the smoke and hear the clamor. the rest is made up i suppose, and my heart in the other senses. but it is too true for those coyotes in that cold and i dare not let them in.
Be patient dear God, for i know that i've sinned. Help me straighten my life, get back to you again. For years i've lost faith, turned my back on your will. Used your name in vain, even wanted to kill. I've broken commandments, and lived life in sin. Even consorted with demons, though never again. I've lied and i've stolen, and defiled your great name; But you never quite left me, and you've helped me the same. Be patient my God, for i now see the light. I'm so tired of the darkness, help me keep up the fight. You've looked in my heart, and you must see some good; Or i'd have been dead years ago, as i know that i should. Be patient great God, for i'm turning my heart. Back to you and your love, from hence i did start. For without you in my life, i don't stand a chance. I've already lost everything, except my shirt and my pants. Now i'm down at the bottom, right where i belong. Yes, i wanted to die, although i knew it was wrong. Then you showed me the light God, and how you really care. So now i give up my past, on you my burdens i share. So be patient dear God, for i've much work to do; Getting rid of old habits, drawing closer to you.
The flowers reach out in a new skin Under the gold sun of summer A beginning of a new dawn of hope The days come in green as the dew falls Where joy become the state of all kinds Under the gold sun of summer The birds of heaven find peace in their homes Gladness rest in the heart of all beings Where joy become the state of all kinds In the desert still found a plant that grows Looking evergreen even when it lost care Gladness rest in the heart all beings Our strength comes new to the yellowish sun With faith falling in pleasant places like dew Looking evergreen even when it lost care Lightning from the sky shining down The flowers reach out in a new skin With faith falling in pleasant places like dew A beginning of a new dawn of hope Date: 13/11/2012
Unicorn with ivory horn. A mythical beast of legends. Flying high in open sky. Where black and white don't matter. Lost dream or the truth. Who can ever really say. Just let me ride upon your back. So I can taste the freedom. Lonely dream but I believe. You were here at one time. A dreamers dream of real life. That exist within each being. Paper moons and small white lies. A beast thats lost in time. I believe you still survive. Within some peoples minds. Wandering as a free soul. Throughout a misty land. Flying high within a world. Uninhabited by man.
I lost a part of me Once upon a time Cause I was wild and didn't Want to let go I didn'tknow that I lost a Part of me At least Not until I was way out of hand I lost a part of me That's now finnally coming back.
Eyes remain glossy red/ Mind lost in a mind trance haze/ The mind not the body will be fed/ Toughts lost in a swirl of lies through the smokes blaze/ I no longer know if what I'm doing is right in my own confused head/ I want to change my life because my death is certain and I know that wont change/ Help me stop killing myself Lord before I end up dead.....
Woken was the king to a reality when he was once great. He rises to his feet to rise to the occasion, but only to find out he's years too late. You see, all good things must come to an end. There are more things important than the money you spend. Time is on the side to those who side with it. Don't blink because beauty you just might miss it. The beast is the truth, and the lie you told yourself. With love there is no need for wealth as I always say myself. The throne slips through your fingers like sand. No longer do you have a queen to hold your hand. They say it's better to have loved & lost than to have never loved at all. I disagree because I see her face on every girl as she is my downfall. However, you cannot force a king to rule. He might be cut out to jester or be a petty fool. The queen may never have been a queen to start. She might take your riches & rob your heart. I was once a king… But I'm nothing more than a boy lost in love with no hand for my ring. I guess love had my imagination in an odd place. Either that or I should have seen the signs when you wanted "space." My mother always said my first love would be a fling… But 3 years later I still feel like she was my queen & I was her king…

I fell from the sky and cannot get back home. I raise my hand and said I am on my own. I flew once internally with fear. I felt I lost some one near. I raise my wings that are bound by chain. I pull struggle and notice no gain. I fear people have lost there faith. I can not slumber or wait. I feel the grip of souls that pain. I seem to feel sadness and going insane. I see the crowd building around. I can not see which ones are bound. I need a person soul that is clean. I do not have a choice of in-between. I need pure hearts to gain strength. I will gain power that has no length. I can break the chain of helplessness. I do not want to wonder in this wilderness. I see it now if we put our pride aside. I can see the future and hope to glide. I feel it coming good and pure. I know now that love can cure. I have chains on my wings because. I have to carry a burden that cause. I carry people with the chain. I put myself after others so I can go back once I came.
To my dearest dear… I hope you are doing fine Here am occupied by laboring time I came along to write for you Hear from you after a long-time. The last I met you at my place I remember that day when you smiled at my face Since then it had been a year I miss you like a meteor lost in space. Overnight chit-chats and long distance calls Without you my friend I would have lost nothing but all. The day when I first saw you at the college canteen My friend! Please forgive me As I saw you that moment bit adversely. Yet, it was so kind of you That you meant for friendship, I would never forget this acquaintance An inbound eternal relationship. I like you the way you speak Specially when you speak overslowly, I love you the way you care Specially when you soothe me. I admire your respect towards me Specially when you intend me, I wonder your candidness Specially when I speak craps and nonsenses. I laugh when I think of your responses Towards those names given I smile at your melodrama And often by those conflicts again and again. I felt so calm A time when I shared my baffled charm I felt so celestial A time when you eased me by your warm. My friend! If ever you need me I will kill myself if you remind me that I'll read your mind, I will read your eyes I'll read your voice And you will see me there. How far you are going You deserve a lot to me Not matter if you forget me I will live with your memories Thinking that you are always there. But promise me this won't happen Or else its easy to say In reality I may lose myself once again. I just wanted to hear from you today And I just wish you live a long way You live with no fear, no tears I promise you a day you will always find me near. Oh! My friend I miss you like anything Just before leaving I want to say you goodbye. The words written for you today Are written forever… Just will wait to hear from you, a reply Till then take care and bubye. With love from…your longed amigo. (Please note: This poem is dedicated to my friend Angshumala Goswami)
Lost In Eden "26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." Ezek 36:26 NIV What did we lose in Eden? It was a perfect character. Praise God He wants to restore us To the perfect nature of our Creator. Eden was completely perfect And so was our relationship with God; Sin entered to cast down the glory Of God's creation in one accord. Man's glory must be laid in the dust For God's glory to reign. His mercy and grace our pathway No perfection can we feign. Our catalyst to conviction, That we need God our lives to restore, Is faith that is a gift from God, Our selfishness and independence to ignore. What was lost in Eden Will be restored in heaven. Perfection once lost Will be part of the millennium. Peace with God and man Means the 'old man' is crucified. No more service to a sinful nature; By a new character sanctified. A perfect character lost in the Garden of Eden Is to be restored once more. Rejoicing in perfect peace and joy Our Creator of all to adore! The angelic hosts will raise their voices To sing God's praises on high. All heaven will rejoice in our perfection And God's grace in free supply.

With tears upon my aging cheek My trust in the world so leery Answers I do search and seek But I feel so weak and weary My trust in the world so leery For so much horror I have seen But I feel so weak and weary My spirit lost in the in-between For so much horror I have seen Sadness unfurled upon the land My spirit lost in the in-between Goodness only small pebbles of sand Sadness unfurled upon the land I call upon the Lord above Goodness only small pebbles of sand To touch these grains with his pure love I call upon the Lord above My spirit reaching from deep inside To touch these grains with his pure love Across the heavens, the great divide My spirit reaching from deep inside To touch and feel his wondrous light Across the heavens, the great divide Guiding me through this world of night To touch and feel his wondrous light My spirit grows steadily and soars Guiding me through this world of night My soul replenished and now restored My spirit grows steadily and soars Answers I do search and seek My soul replenished and now restored With tears upon my aging cheek
I used to live for everything; for the naked trees in the autumn, for the smell of hope in the spring. Every time that smell came I would breathe deeper. I would look out of my window at night and see the city lights gleaming up at me, they screamed, 'you can have this, you can have all of this'. My youth was enveloped in faith and ambition. Faith dictated my every move. Faith in the table that would hold my drink. Faith in the bath that would get me clean. Faith in my heart that would guide me. Faith in myself to get to the lights. Myself? Myself is conquered in question marks and lists. Now loneliness dictates my every move. It shoves me into dark places and binds me to things that my mind cannot commit. I am swarmed by darkness and acres and acres of hope that cannot be tended to or sown. Every ounce of me has abandoned myself and I cannot retrieve it. I reminisce over pages and pages of me and there is no middle ground. I was young and I was free. I was nineteen and I was lost. I am nineteen and completely tattered. I look back on these pages and I see images of flowers with three petals and houses with four windows and triangle rooftops. I see people with bright pink skin and everything in 2-D. Then I look back on these pages and see hearts with your name scrawled across them. I see paragraphs and books dedicated to you. I see everything that you ever said to me. I see all of my faith scribbled in you. Now when I look out of my window, the lights glare at me, they scream, 'YOU LOST HIM, YOU LOST YOU!' And when the spring comes and I breathe deeper, every cell in my body becomes decimated by your scent, every organ rots remembering you. In the autumn when the trees are free and naked and cold, my bones shake without you to cover them.
When you're tired pray for the weary For their strength to carry on If you're lost and your path's uncertain Pray the lonely will find their way home If you love this world more than God Then pray for the addict who's bound And when you feel that God's far away Pray for the lost to be found When suppertime comes before you pray Remember the hungry need fed And when you're tired remember those With no place to lay their head God loves a cheerful giver So don't forget to care Always think of others With this unselfish prayer
The lost souls of this world— am I concerned? While so many without Christ in the wrong direction have turned??? With each day that passes me by... To many of my neighbors, I've only said: "Hi!" I'm too busy to give anyone part of my time... I go to church on Sundays... I've "committed no crime." I've never led a person in the sinner's prayer... "Why should I waste my time?" "Why should I care?" I know that Jesus commands me to reach the lost... But I've never sacrificed what this would cost. I know that when Jesus comes back again... He'll expect me to reach the lost souls of men. If one day I plan to make heaven my goal! There must be a desire in my heart in reaching the lost soul! By Jim Pemberton 2006
All this time I've been reaching Still holding on To this hope I've held so long I don't know Why I need this To carry on Such false hope When hope is gone If I feel nothing, then nothing can be wrong So blind I lost all sight Couldn't move on There's no hope I'm not so strong And I feel nothing, sensation is gone I stand Behind nothing Still holding on If I've lost hope Then all is lost Inside there's nothing, it feels so wrong
I've sin I've loved and I've lost I've won… I've lusted for another's wife, only to taste the cold bitter steel of their knife. I've tasted loves bitter sweet rewards. Its harsh reality of broken hearts and dreams never forged. Its tender and gentler side which can be so sweet and meek. Its divided house when two souls of the opposite collide into a mass of hatred instead of love. Its tender compassion that can help them too reunite as one. Its somber weeping cries in the midnight air…when it longs for a lover who no longer cares. It's the mourning over a lover who has passed away like a gentle rain, that falls on the flowers on a warm spring day. Oh! The things that I have did, but not in the name of love…but that of sin. A blink of an eye and the favor of a grin? It's the fool who passes those two signs, who will never know true love and know what it really feels like. For I've sin and I've loved I've lost and now I won. I found true love, but without the lost or the sin…but in the arms of my best friend. My wife.. my soul the very reason I do live.
This crazy time in someone's life Where things are unknown and hectic Lies many challenges to be solved And a heart to be practiced unprotected As memories lie, as stepping stones For what to be alert for ahead It shows one how they've come so far With their actions, not merely by whats been said Of course these struggles at the current time Are among the hardest yet One is so alone and without resources And cannot afford to bet The waiting game is a sure win card With the passing storm above But trust in faith and other things And the same outcome will be that of love With all their might, they try to find The purpose of themselves It just so happens it's not right there Easily seen on the destinies shelf Money low, morale lower They attempt to carry on They've lost their horse and friends they had And the Atlantic is another con For across that massive deadly sea Is a lighthouse that shines like a star It's a tempting heartwarming feeling That is comforting from afar It distracts and brings joy To the one who's lost their way But not to worry things are changing Just be patient day after day We cannot control these mishaps and blessings For reasons not explained Anywhere there is determination and hope Their motivation will not perish in flames
This world is crazy at times the uncertainty of the unexpected is mind blowing what is right and left what is north and south east and west what is day light and darkness what is sunshine and rain these are all things we are taught but how do we know these as being truthful or are they illusions of our own mind its our belief in faith that allows us to know what is north and south we have faith in the person who has told us this and has not made us to be a fool and actually told us the truth thats whats wrong with our world today we have lost faith in each other in our brothers and sisters when you lose faith you lose manners when you lose manners you become hateful when you become hateful you die alil in side life is to short to lose faith to short to be rude to short to take every little breath we take in this universe for granted so slow down world cherish your moments have faith that there is good still left in the crazy world of ours know that not everyone is out to get you know that one day our days will end and i refuse to sit back and say that i lost faith in this beautiful world that i have lost manners that i have lost my way i am not perfect by any means but i do my best to live every day as its a blessing i put my all into everything i do even if i comes back to kick me in the ass sometimes but i can honestly say i will never lose my faith
I once had a dream, that i was cast out to sea, to dream and be free, for all eternity, under your guidance, and under your blue skies, i learned what it meant to live and let die, the day u cast me out, the day I fell to the ground, the day my soul floated on, to the greater beyond, i learned what it meant to live and let die, because on that warm summers eve, you lost the courage to tell me why, to tell me why it hurt to call, to tell me why we were about to fall, to tell me why all the feelings left, to tell me why you had to end it like that, i learned what it meant to live and let die, the day i met Christ, the day i lost all might, the day i opened up, to be allowed in the gates, for your soul, is the only one who really knows, what it means to live and let die,
Her eyes were as beautiful as they could be A puppy dog's frown looking back at me As they smiled they truly danced with life Those big brown eyes of my beautiful wife I sat behind glass as they filled with tears Scared and alone her eyes danced with fear The depth of her eyes expressed all of the pain Dancing all around me I could feel their shame But when they met mine these words are true Beauty of their love broke me completely into I gazed into her eyes into the depths of her soul Lost up inside those eyes I had found my goal It totally broke my spirit as I realized her pain The thought of it drove me completely insane Over sixty months later when mine got set free Can you guess what eyes were waiting for me? Two beautiful eyes that were so deep and brown Now had a beautiful sparkling puppy dog frown They also had a sternness I had never seen Saying the only way to us is by staying clean All these years later, eyes still as deep as a well I am still lost in their beauty, bound to their spell Telling me good morning as we start another day Her eyes shine with so much love in a beautiful way Sometimes in life we try to be all that we can be I didn't pick her eyes because her eyes picked me I am lost in the treasure of her beauty and grace I reckon beautiful eyes deserve a beautiful face Expanding on her beautiful eyes that mirror her soul Is no less than my life's honor and a beautiful goal Written for Sami's contest
Prayer has changed me in so many ways It's gotten us through so awful trying, disappointing days. It helps mankind come closer to the Holy one upstairs And opens your eyes and mind, lets you become more aware Jesus listens to everyone who talks to him in Prayer, So let's show him that we really care Prayer helps clean the filthiness in your heart Let's pray for our lost loved ones, so all can be together and not apart So Christian friends let's bow on our knees and close our eyes Want transparent answers, God can by unknown surprise God loves for us to pray, and keeps us strong by Faith Oh, what heavenly wonders God has for his long awaited Prayer changes you and that's a fact And you receive his glorious love, you'll never turn back If you're lost and dying in sin, Receive the Holy Spirit, and be born agian!
SixtySeven CharlaXFabels The Mind Of GOD LOVE He became angry, and when he refused to enter the house, his father came out and pleaded with him. He said to his father in reply, 'Look, all these years I served you and not once did I disobey your orders; yet you never gave me even a young goat to feast on with my friends. But when your son returns who swallowed up your property with prostitutes, for him you slaughter the fattened calf.' He said to him, 'My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours. But now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.'" the certainty of days is lost in aggravations and in misdirected thinking abilities are missed in dreaming and wishing colors were not true the sky is always blue in some peoples world the clouds don't move in true reality the clouds fly screaming across the sky to take kisses from mye eye to deliver them all to ewe from the kissing place its true oh ewe there is many of them there still hanging from my lipps to kiss the lipps of ewe. The moral of the story don't get thy dandruff up until the wind blows. WAIT. Bulliten: This is just inn hot off the iron. Love lasts forever and yes it forgives so iff ewe aer just lately starting to hate me lets nip it now in the bud and snip all the hate away and please keep the love thorns are okay when the rose is on vine but when picked all the thorns do is cry. Add mee quickly back unto thy eye am pleading for mye heart seems to be gone when ewe linger in the ether and do not even come just try to find forgiveness in your heart for me today. The concrete where eye tried to spend the nite was stiff to muscles used to better beds the dirt eye finally found in a corner of the church was fine and warmer out of wind the sadness that eye feel is never hate but only love not found and wasted time. The anger comes from being left alone. Eye would not change the way eye am eye would not want it any other way to love someone is to miss them when away. My time is spent in vain pursuits of happiness continuous searching for food and circuses the hour is almost upon the masses no more time to love. Please add me to your list of love as number one again mye friend and love the man that eye become is jealous of your love and time still searching for your heart and certain ewe aer there in mine and we aer both there inside the mind of god. LOVE.

Since I am Here The Veil grows Stronger but, You're not here for me I'm just-- Another Lost Soul you know, The people you find on the curbs on streets, During Rainy Days not going anywhere but Deeper into their own Disease but, It's not a disease, for they look for cures for diseases Here the patient cares not Only I could say something like that but since I'm here I just might as well sit on the curb on a rainy day and drown in a new-state-disease what A lost soul I am never enough could satisfy always more What a Lost Soul
Will things ever get better?, he says in a rhetorical tone. No, whispers the perpetual bad guy from a dead cell phone. Is there anyway we can rebuild this broken, burned down bridge? No, replies the same voice as he grabs a cold beer from the fridge... Pop another pill and forget it, as my life slides down the drain... You are going to get wet when you're too stupid to come in from the rain... You hate me, fine. I hate you too. You want me out? What am I to do? I guess I'll rot in this open grave. I suppose I'm getting exactly what I gave... So as I listen to The Midnight Special play with the background of an impending storm, I recall my father, for which I still mourn. I'm slowly starting to see that this bad guy isn't real. He's just part of this bubbling cauldron of emotion that appears whenever I feel. He tells me to tell lies. He threatens me by fear. I think I'll shoot him tonight, as soon as I finish this beer.
I was lost, but then I found you I never thought that it would be this way I showed you my heart, I left it unguarded Then like a thief in the night, you stole it away These days I'd trade sight for feeling There are days when my feeling is gone I can't figure out whose life I am living These days I don't know right from wrong When I lost my faith in life itself You helped me find my faith again As these words slip off my tongue I find myself wondering if they sound dumb If my heart could talk out loud All you would hear it say is you're the one There used to be days that came to an end Days I thought the bottle was my only friend When standing on the corner of hello and goodbye Hello sounds better, goodbye I'll say when I die I've seen the heart of darkness Even held hands with the hopeless Now that I've met you this is all I feel No more heart of darkness no more hands of hopeless I want you to hold me until my hurt is gone I want you to be the shoulder that I can always cry on As long as I can I'll be standing here Loving you until the end of my years And if perhaps I were to die tonight Then in my heart it would have been worth the fight Because I am totally lost without you My feelings for you are genuinely true I've always been a fighter in life But without you by my side, I'd likely give up the fight I will never give up on us Because without you is where I don't want to be I love you until the sun don't shine I love you until the moon falls from the sky Even when our days may be through Baby I'll always be lost without you Written on: April 28, 2009
All day long I dance with the music of your song! O my Ektara has only one string It can't bear the pain of songs that you sing! All along I have lost in this game of your song! This string is tuned to make sound of the near But you are playing your flute from up there! Can everyone join that shore of your song By the music to impress everyone? All along I have lost in this game of your song!
Forgive me dear Lord, For I have sinned in so many ways. I have done a lot of wrong in my life, That's it so hard for me to explain. At times I have lost faith in you, So much I did not even care. I did the things I wanted to do, Because I thought life was so unfair. I know I have disappointed you, So I feel like you have abandoned me. I feel like there's no point in praying anymore, Because you hate the person I turned out to be. I ask you for your help dear Lord, Because I feel lost in all my sorrows. I hate the way I have been feeling lately, That I really don't want to see tomorrow. I feel so angry each day of my life, That I let out my steam on others. No one really knows what I'm going through, Not even my father or mother. I toss and turn and cry each night, Because of thoughts that go through my mind. I regret the decisions and actions I've made, And with disappointment I close my eyes and sigh. So now I turn to you dear Lord, And hope that you will forgive me. Help me get through these hard times of mine, And be the person I should be.
O Woman of lost identity Woman where are thee Have you forgotten who you are Have you forgotten who God has create you to be Not woman to woman Have you lost your identity You are to be the help mate of the male God did not create Eve for nothing When Adam was lonely He created Eve to be there for him So why have you gone to another woman to be your only and true lover O Woman of lost identity Just cause you been decieve before Because you lust for the flesh of a unrighteous man God has created righteous men but you reject them and accept wicked men You are not suppose to commit adulty But since you have commit adulty at an early age O Woman of lost identity You have fallen deep into your sin Hurt by your sensitive emotion state that you have within your heart God does not forgive you for nothing Turn from your deep desired sin And live your true purpose on this earth O Woman of lost identity What he has created you to be O woman of lost identity How I know it hurts our father creator of heaven and earth To see the woman who carries a new born life into this world To be woman to woman instead of man to woman T cry deep inside at night for you O woman of lost indentity Wake up and get away from that habit of abomination Homosexuality is absolutely forbidden, for it is an huge sin O woman of lost indentity
Running Wolf a brave from long ago Loved the maiden Little Doe He loved her with his heart and soul She made his life complete and who He vowed he'd never leave her side But fate had changed for him that day When he met his death so far away He left his maiden all alone And she lost he will to live when she lost her heart song She loved no other and prayer for the day He would return to her some how some way The spirits answered the maiden's prayer And placed the back again back here To make the circle complete There is one more task she must meet She must tell him all she now knows And risk losing the love and friendship they now know
Held prisoner under His Stars, I have fallen under the shadows of THE "Great White Shield". At a distance, those shimmering lights covered over me. Built on THE highest plains, I stand parallel even when His rains come down. My wall stands tall as my fate is promised and sealed. I see my passage through time as I hold sturdy to my only God given ground. I am all that I know I can ever be. Confined by a little world where all that there is has been lost or found, My bleeding wall holds my " ALMIGHTY'S Great Armored White Shield". Balanced with time even when His rains are pouring down! It stands to serve and to protect the best of the living me. Layer by layer it builds with the strength it has lost or found. For, I am all that is genuinely real. Conditioned by my endurance, His Stars my eyes still can see. Ruling the way that I move, His existence is wrapped tightly and I abound. Parallel on His plains, a sturdy wall I did gradually help Him build. My wall protects the only person inside of me. I secure my only ground as I hold onto His "Great White Shield". I am all that I have ever truly found. When the rains pour down on me, I stand atop of all His battled ground. When I am all with my realest deal, I am all that can or will be found. When I am all that I know I can ever be, I carry a strength that alone I can build. I am the carrier of my Almighty's Great White Shield". ®Registered: 1998 Ann Rich
in this world of fatal attractions and demonic temptations we must retrace our steps to find our lost generation in the grand scheme of life God gave us each a purpose or task and we need to find that special gift in order to do what He has asked we're all precious to Him and with each of us God broke the mold and when He loses any one of us He desires we'd be returned back to the fold yet the generation of today has become negative in mind the media portrays them as being thugs of all kinds nothing about them is positive for they seem to be all about self and it's up to as adults to help restore their spiritual health where would we be ourselves if our own parents did not have our backs we're in part responsible for the next generation falling off the right track we were too busy climbing up the corporate ladder to keep them in place we turned our sheep a loose and did not stay on their case we stopped reading with them, praying for them and left them on their own and now we have a bunch of rebellious kids who think that they are grown a lost generation out in the wicked wilderness caught up in the world of violence and willfulness it's up to us as parents to take on the responsibility and go out into the wilderness and bring them back to safety we must retrace our step and remember the last time we thought of ourselves as a flock, a community of one mind we started thinking as individuals and went out to do our own thing and in the midst of our selfishness our children did the suffering we were too busy to teach them to take responsibility we were too busy to teach them to respect authority we must retrace our steps and go back to that time when we were the most important thing on our own parent's minds now is the time to get down on our hands and knees and get right with God and hope that we can instill in our children a righteousness of heart so pray for the youth, pray for yourself and pray for everyone's salvation pray that Jesus the Great Shepard can retrace our steps and save our lost generation
My soul hungers for completion, a position I have never held; My eyes show only my solitude, a cold world where my heart dwells. Can you imagine my torment, never tasting the sweet nectar of love; Yet tortured by its effervescent fragrance, the worst chastisement I can think of. I yearn to let go, but how can I when my fears faces realities truth; My heart asunder all over my body, and has been this way since my bitter youth. I gave my heart to many, yet from many I receive no returns; So now I give only my enmity for love, inside my soul is feeling the burn. Torn between two emotions, shall I love or shall I be alone; Allah's path is becoming unclear to me, but I am destined to figure it out on my own. Darkness fills my mind as my heart continues to show me the light; How is one to compensate for a body ravaged by an emotional fight. A tattered soul lost in confusion, how can a kind heart exist with a mind so cold; But in this trials I find a balance, a very hard find to behold. So set me free of a torrent of emotional pain and mental distress; Set me free like a dove, free me of this war inside my hollowed chest. An endless battle, who will be the voice of hope that comes to set my soul free; Who will be my liberator, I feel all hope is lost in me.
The tears line down my face While looking for human life I find not a trace The creepy howls of wolves in the distance Never have I been in something like this instance The world got overrun by fools With unimaginative different tools They destroyed life's story Before God's glory And made us slaves of them all While distant eyes dance along redwood trees so tall What do we do when the world is lost? How will we fix this expensive cost? Who do we turn to when all faith fails? Where do we go now when all else prevails? Smiles of children slowly fade We left our sweet world --- hardly anyone stayed Secured insecurities killed us to death Because world's support just suddenly left Apolocaylpse comes when you least expect it And comfort-zones uninvited begin to shift They wiped out our world like a dead bug on the glass As if everyone just suddenly lost their unique class No more churches or temples, religion or law Still no one more powerful than God --- so it's a draw Now we work hard to restore our genuine Earth And still celebrate The Christ Jesus' birth Nothing will stop this sweet world from growing No one will stop us from constantly knowing Nothing will take from us what we earned Nothing can wipe out what we've already learned See faith is a strong weapon, the strongest of them all Even when all else begins to just fall You have to have it regardless of what you do But nowadays, there seems very few Study your religion and growth to the max And analyze closely at your wonderful facts Because life is not lost unless you take it yourself Never be scared of any faith you have --- don't hide it on a shelf There is more support here then you'd ever know Listen and watch as our young generations begin to grow So please take my advice for my advice is true And stop everyday, kneel, and say to Him, "thank you" Thank Him for giving you life Thank Him for saving you from world's little strife Thank Him for walking beside you everyday Thank Him for everything in any possible way Thank Him for dying on that cross Thank Him for creating Earth --- the trees, oceans, wildlife --- even moss And you will find yourself in front of a gold gate Because throughout your life you stuck to your faith Dedicated to: Anyone who has a Religion
When you're tired, pray for the weary For their strength to carry on If you're lost and your path's uncertain Pray the lonely find their way home If you love this world more than God Then pray for the addict who's bound And when you feel that God's far away Pray for the lost to be found When supper time comes before you pray Remember the hungry need fed And when you're tired, remember those With no place to lay their head When you're all alone and afraid Pray for those who are trapped in fear And when your prayers hit the ceiling Pray that God will draw souls near For God loves a cheerful giver So don't ever forget to care And always think of others With this unselfish prayer
In the night i cannot slumber staring at the wall i ponder what's it like to be together after the distance dies away. In the morning babe my heart aches at the thought of you so far i can't wait till the day break and our souls merge as we meet face to face. And if you were lost in the darkness I would shine a light for you know that i would do it all just to prove that i love you. In the evening i am screaming sick and tired of bad dreams but your face is just so gleaming chasing all my inner demons away. As you stare into my eyes you could always read my mind know that i would never lie because in my heart, my love you'll always find. And if you were lost in the darkness I would shine a light for you know that i would do it all just to prove that i love you
I look up the sky And there they are They stay, they linger They are always shining They don't faded, never gone, never gone They look down on me Alone in a dark I'm not shining I'm fading I'm bounded with emptiness I'm surrounded with loneliness I wonder if faith is fair I ask for forgiveness, I ask for guidance Coz I'm lost and I am in a great despair Now all I need is the answer to all Directions for life I keep on waiting by looking up the sky I look up the sky And there they are They keep on shining They don't fading I need another single mind I need companion I need to be found They look down on me A miserable eve A lonely goddess A lost figure I wonder if faith is fair I ask for forgiveness, I ask for guidance Coz I'm lost and I am lost Now all I need is the answer to all Directions for life I keep on waiting by looking up the sky

Father, I got a message the other day, From a mother who knew me not, Lost and whose heart was broken. With your hand to guide, she sought me out. Father, her heart aches with grief and sorrow, Troubles continue to fill her heart. She too lost a precious child. You shared your love with me in all your glory When I too lost my child and was filled with sorrow. I humbly ask that you show her your love in all your glory. Father, now I pray that your hand will guide me. Let my mouth gently speak the words that she may hear, To soothe her troubled heart . Let my hands tenderly reach out To give the feeling of comfort she may need. Let my heart be open to her heart So I may understand her sorrows. I know her not, Lord, But with your hand to guide, Help us to become closer Not only to you but also in friendship.
I was once lost on a cloud? My wings swam through blue oceans of light, ice in my veins from love lost and love gained. I return to earth to search my remains but all was lost because nobody came.Now years pass and only the sky cries from being alone. I don`t think I will close my eyes ever again for fear all of this will disappear. My act was not chose for me but the play goes on, one day I will remember what the world is about... then we can move on. You see love has vicious plans for you and I...come see the end.

It's not having loved and lost that hurts inside. It's having lost the love I held with pride. It's having lost my friend, my lover, my life. It's having lost my future, our children, my life. I cry from my eyes, my soul, and my heart. I cry for lost time, God where do I start? I am alone without you. These thoughts are all new. One thing I never planned on was living my life minus you. My dreams and my hopes..they died inside you. I would give up this all for one second beside you. Yet I know you are here..you are with me somehow. Our love never died because I can feel it right now. I will see you sometime...the day that I die. And when I get to Heaven you can teach me to fly. You can show me the stars, the moon, and the world... Untill that day I will forever miss you my girl. .......dedicated to the late Brandi Bowersock...... (I miss you honey!)
the wars for the soldiers seemed endless children bound to slave labour if jesus wouldnt have freed the slaves nobody would have been left to stop the witch hunt and procreation would be impossible maybe thats why black men seemed somewhat charmed maybe thats why women seem somewhat gifted the books we have passed on for previous grudges crime scenes for happenings that could not be explained incase "it" came back cannot fathom the hardships faced lost words of renaissance the esoteric metaphors of holidays were born and passed on passed on Hindsight black and white got away with the perfect crime he did it all for you the only one who would have forgiven the lost soul spinning out of control crimescene of the antichrist is all i see in the midst of names and numbers a leash a routine to allow it to breathe the magic made under rug swept but a soul facing a familiar mistake knows....that there is a reason for soo many different versions of the truth it was written the way it was talking in circles and chasing his tail spending an eternity working on getting away with one murder obviously he fell for it I'm just wondering who could point him in the right direction when he makes bail
Where would I be were it not for the cross Where Christ died to save my soul? Where would I be were it not for His Blood? For it cleansed me and made me whole. Where would I be were it not for the stripes He bore so I could be healed? Oh, where would I be were it not for the love, And salvation to me He revealed. I'd be lost in sin and damnation. I'd be one of life's lost sheep. I'd be like a leaf in a whirlwind, Blown in a pit so deep. But because of the cross and the blood of the lamb, I've been saved by His Grace and set free. Because of that Grace and the sacrifice done I know that with Christ I will be. Where would I be had He not lifted me From the mire of sin and greed? Where would I be had He not given hope, and supplied the things that I need? Where would I be had He not sent His word and His Spirit to lead and to guide? Oh, where would I be had He not loved me and had me on His mind when He died. I'd be bound in sin and damnation, I'd be just another lost sheep. I'd still be a slave to temptation With ought but the whirlwind to reap. But I've been redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb I am saved by His Grace and set free. Because of His Grace and His pure cleansing Blood For eternity with Him i'll be Sept. 16, 1994
Innocence lost in dare Eye still believe that somewhere in America a little girl can play in her own backward backyard She can ride a bicycle and a mirage to the sky she can dance without getting shot She can read a comic book without a look at a porno magazine Eye have seen the children play in America Sometimes the world gets too close to us Sometimes the physical people around us Play way too rough for people to go on living nice Sometimes the beast within the lust comes out And destroys a dream an innocence lost in dare
When I'm lost you are there to help me. When I need help you are there to help me. When I feel lost you help me. You help me to find my way. Even when I loose my way you are there to help me. You are there to help me find my way back to you. No matter how much I thank you. It will never be enough because I keep on loosing my way. I keep on loosing my way right after you find me. Please help me Lord guide me back to your heart I love you but still some how I always loose my way. Please Lord never leave me alone.
the new dawn had brought the start of a beautiful day then boom in a split second it was all taken away by an attack on america in a very cowardly way. many lifes lost they had no care for human life we as america we will fight we will stand united as one with this attack on america we will be strong. we pray for the lifes lost and their families left behind but we as america we will not hide. we will find the will and the strength to go on but osama bin laden you will be found you will pay for your cowardly acts need i say more to that fact and when that happens the sigh of relief now our loved ones can rest in peace. and we as america we will be fine our loved ones will always be on our minds but i believe we will be ok in time. they'd want us to go on and stand on our own two feet cause we as america cannot be beat.
I've never been one for prayer since the death of my sister. I lost all my faith, I thought God was a liar. He took away all who were important in my life all who were good and did'nt deserve to die. Until one day I got shot and nearly lost my life I asked for a preacher, and he came with his wife As I lay there in pain we took each others hands, the warmth came over me like laying on warm sand. I had this unbelievable feeling, of relief and of ease my belief had come back and now I feel the peace.
It is not having loved and lost that hurts inside. It is having lost the love I held with pride. The only love I ever knew. The only truth I thought I knew. My light is gone. The tunnel is dark. Where once was ablaze is barely a spark. I hear you talk....you still have a voice. You are inside my head before every choice. You are still my life, my reason, my hope. There is more to this life God please help me cope. You are the sweet breeze blowing. You are the warm water flowing. It is just so hard baby....the not really knowing...... dedicated to the late Brandi Bowersock.....RIP you are missed..
One year has past scenes that frightful day That day when we woke and saw that it wasent a dream Thousands had died, for no reason. We lost innocent children our mothers, fathers, grandparents, everyone Including a little peice of ourself. Everyone lost someone on that day that day taht we wish was still a dream. In a year we still havn't forgotten that we were changed Changed forever, in one minute In that year that had passed we have lost more friends then ever before And even more of ourselfes In the year that has passed We have come together to mourn, And rejoice for the people that are still alive From that frightfull day. In the years to come we will slowly recover We will slowly put it in the back of our minds, As we learn how to deal with the pain that came that morning, Untill that day we go. But we will never forget or fully forgive
"It's time to shut it down, my Lord, the experiment has failed. They just get crueler day by day and thousands more are jailed. And jail just makes them meaner, their hearts are filled with hate. They're cesspools filled with violence and racism and rape. Some fourteen million children in America alone go hungry each and every day with no place to call home. The government has lost its way, it's evil and corrupt. It wages war and causes death and folks have lost their trust. The idle rich spend millions to satisfy their lust, while crummy jobs and lousy pay cause tempers to erupt. They turn to drink to ease their pain, which only fuels their rage, they violently attack the ones they're impotent to save. Much hatred builds around the world and thousands die in vain. Forgive me, Lord, for telling this, but they do it in Your name. I think we need to shut it down, the karmic toll alone would take a billion years to clear, they'll never make it home. We've tried to thin the veil a bit in hopes that they would see that they must fill their hearts with love to live eternally. A few have seen Your light, my Lord, but they're greatly overwhelmed; it's time for drastic measures, Sir, You need to take the helm. And don't try that Messiah thing, that really was a bust, His message got so twisted, His words were less than dust. Perhaps they need more schooling in a safer, spiritual plane. We need to reel them back to us before it's all in vain." So the many eyes of God that day finally turned to see, and was appalled by what He saw, such pain and misery. And then He turned His many ears and focused on the Earth, but He was almost deafened by the way His name was cursed. "I've been remiss," He shook His head, "and left them far too long. I've lead My lambs to slaughter and Satan has grown strong." He shed a giant Godly tear and heaved a Godly sigh and snuffed the flame of life on Earth and never said goodbye.
have you ever heard of the happy hour where people mingle, eat and dine the happy hour when people congregate to relax and from their work unwind a time to replenish, to refresh and restore one's troubled mind yet it's only a temporary stop gap in the overall scheme of time but the happy hour in heaven is eternal and ultimate a time to reconnect with the Holy Spirit it's more than a quick fix, it's the time for salvation heaven's happy hour the place for spiritual libation Jesus spoke some parables about how to save sinners finding those whom the Lord God wants to serve His dinner the daily bread, the good news which is full of godly power what one needs to celebrate heaven's happy hour when one sheep strays and you go off to find it and return it to the flock that's when Father God and the angels in heaven will be rocking around the clock when a women loses a precious coin and diligently cleans her house until it's retrieved that's the type of dedication and devotion that God wants us to achieve do you realize that most sinners are not in church but are out in the world? and it doesn't make sense to offer salvation to those who already know the word yet the Scribes and Pharisees accused Jesus Christ of hanging out with sinful men for they could never understand His true purpose was to give instruction to them for it's not about the sermons, the rituals not the circumcision it's knowing that your reason for being is to practice the Great Commission and when people have lost their way and have a desire to be found don't be hypocrites like the Pharisees and on them look down just listen to Jesus' parables and discern the wisdom within open your ears and eyes to His teachings and preaching He came to tell us what it is of us the God desires He came to show us what it is of us the God requires He came to offer salvation even if it would only be to one lost sheep He came to give us the good news, a treasure for us to keep heaven's happy hour a time to celebrate salvation heaven's happy hour to drink of spiritual libation remember God gave each of us His express permission to evangelize the gospel as part of the Great Commission so don't be condescending if you're already a member of the family for your purpose as a child of Christ is to increase exponentially
Wordless stories recount every stacked up sight Had to die just to find where they go tonight Tumbling down just to bring every wrong to right And when my feelings dry I will recall the light Questions have added new flights of stairs All my answers will run, circling way up there I still can't believe that nobody cares I don't think I can climb when there's no love to share Falling to sleep in the arms of pain Darkness shelters my thoughts as I go insane Seeping into my heart and inside my brain The stairs melt away as I forget my name Faces become desperate masks of death Either kill or become or forget myself There is no way to tell why I hold my breath As self-hate intertwines with the love I felt Out in the breeze where I lost her eyes I crawl to a place where I pray I'll die But under the nothing I see inside I remember the questions that I hoped I'd find How did I climb when I lost my sight? If I had died how could I love the night? How can dead faces remind me of what's right? And when I give in why do I find the light?
I'm so confused as i open door after door Every step I take I fall to rthe floor I don't want to be lost anymore I don't understand why I can't move on What did I do to deserve this fate? I want to correct it But is it too late? I'll do anything. I promise I can change. I've tried everything to find my way No matter where I look I don't see a way out of this maze What if I am lost for all time? I want to be better I beg God to help me change If it takes forever I want to be saved I look for the light That everyone says exists I'm full of fright At what i might find but I'll always persist Please God help me find you Are you really there? I want to love you I just need to know you care
Listening to these old songs, Telling me a story, A story about a girl, Who met a boy, Who loved the boy, Who lost the boy, Who grew up to fast, Who feels like she lost valuable time, Who knows in her heart, Should would do it again, She cried in the song, When she knew he wasn't coming back, She was said he left, Couldn't understand why, Didn't want to understand why, Her friends had warned her, Told her to stay away, She didn't listen. Now she looks back, oddly they were right. How could they have seen that? How could she have not? But leave it to a young girls heart, To blind her from the truth, How else can you teach her, To be strong, To fall, get back up, and do it again, Until she doesn't fall again. No one knows for sure, That's how the song ends, Does she love again? Does she leave it behind?
I can hear the cry, From those unable to escape or run, Wondering when it will be their turn to die, The crimes of our past cannot be undone. Voices screaming in my mind, From a time that was lost, People unseen who were left behind, All those lives were not worth the cost. The blood has been shed, The mistakes have been made For our hate they were bled, A people long betrayed. Taken away in the dead of night, Unaware of where it is they go, Only to wait for their Bright Knight, Unsure if he'll even show. Their faith helps them to survive, Even through all the torturous hours, For another day they'll remain alive, If only to succumb to another's powers. The blood has been shed, The mistakes have been made For our hate they were bled, A people long betrayed. Tears long cried, Over the many lost souls, While bodies are shoved aside, Only to be buried in unmarked holes. The hatred felt is unending still, The nameless are neglected, Destroyed is their will, All who are different shall be rejected. The blood has been shed, The mistakes have been made For our hate they were bled, A people long betrayed. Unable to drown out the cries, Of a pain filled age, Which led to a culture's demise, Through an unspeakable rage. Bodies were burned, The pain filled cries they will ignore, Souls lost never again to be returned, Lives lost in a war. The blood has been shed, The mistakes have been made, For our hate they were bled, A people long betrayed.
A young woman sits alone on the steps of a church, her heart is so full of pain, she has been through so much. All by herself, and afraid to go in, what will these people think about all her sins. Then out of nowhere, an old lady appeared, and sat down beside her, asking, "why all the tears." The young woman told her about her past, and lost years, and the reason for her pain, and all the tears. As the old lady listened to her every word, they brought back so many memories, as she listened to this poor girl. Then she told the young woman, she was once lost too, but God sent her a miracle, with a heart so true. For sixty years, she had loved only one man, who had a heart full of compassion, and was able to understand. "For the last forty years, he had ministered here, his spirit is so strong, I still feel him here." "My son has taken the ministry now, and he is so excited to be back in his hometown." "So let us hurry inside, and find us a seat, you know, God has a lot of good people in there for you to meet."
This day shall be in remembrance of all the lost souls. Each one remembered proudly on every flag pole. This day shall be in remembrance to the fire fighters and all the crews. Who rushed in giving up their lives, knowing what they knew. This day shall be in remembrance to each soldier who followed their course. The Army, Navy, Marines and the Airforce. This day shall be in remembrance to all the brave and willing strangers. Who came together to help and comfort, not knowing the dangers. This day shall be in remembrance to the brave policemen and women. Who came and worked side by side with with other laymen. This year shall be in remembrance to all the who gave to the oppressed laden with hardship. Whether it be a stranger or simply a friendship. This date shall be forever etched in our hearts and in history. Let freedom reign, the eagle will soar with such gallantry. In reverence of 9/11, I kneel to pray... As I write this, each tear falling don't come close to all who was lost that day. Each year passing, shall be in remembrance to the brave red, white and blue. That we came back stronger, braver and always renewed.
we have no time to take the scenic route we're always moving apace we have no time to stop and smell the air nor see the wonders that are in place we're too afraid to go out of our way running and rushing from day to day we're reluctant to come out of our comfort zones in our carefully laid plans we don't want a monkey wrench thrown but sometimes God desires that of our ruts we break out for hidden treasures may be found if we take an alternate route Zacchaeus the main tax collector was a man with great wealth who was willing to go out of his way to restore his spiritual health he was a man of little stature and for him the people had disdain yet he was tall in power and status from the wealth he had attained but Jesus Christ, the Son of Man looked beyond Zacchaeus' possessions He saw into Zacchaeus' heart and discerned the reasons for his transgressions Zacchaeus was so eager to see God's prodigy that he ran ahead of the crowd and climbed up a sycamore tree Jesus was destined to see that little man and put into place God's master plan Zacchaeus was a lost soul who had a desire to be found he was willing to repent and atone in order to stand on higher ground he was willing to sacrifice, refund and rebate to any from whom he might have stole he was willing to reciprocate God's generosity at a measure that was four-fold he was completely transformed now a new creation in Christ no longer lost but to have found a new and better life so be like Jesus and Zacchaeus and go out of your way to help, assist and lift up those who are in crises from day to day as Christians we need to stand in solidarity and come out of our comfort zones to be a part of the Great Commission and go out and save lost souls but for the grace of God that might be me or you but with God's saving grace we need to pull each other through just take one little step towards Jesus Christ and let Him grant you favor and He will take a giant step and bless you with compassionate behavior go out of your way and just help your fellow man spread the wealth, love and abide each other for that God's master plan
I graced the world with my presence establishing my character to have substance I became the apple of GOD's eye I accepted it never asking why when I was four a couple things happened one that was life threatening and another where i was forced to see a life taken away before my very eyes it caused me to ask GOD for a precious son much to my surprise I felt I owed it to the baby boy who lost his life so tragically at the hands of my sister in my teen age years I almost lost my life again because I fought for my brother's honor I didn't regret it because it was an honor I did not know that I was capable of fighting for someone I love even if I went about it the wrong way because a love so profound will come back to me some day being introduced to life on the other side of the track that my mother tried to shelter me from costing her to bend her back it was a jungle a battle to be fought a war to win biting, scratching, resulting to sin I endured a life at an early age that almost cost me my life even my mother's when she came to find me I bereted her but she only answered lovingly "When it comes to my child I 'll go any where." I served thirteen in a half years in prison for a crime cdommitted because of an addiction GOD saw me through without a hestation Never once leaving my side when I sought him out he accepted with arms opened wide I don't believe he brought me far to leave me he does this lovingly with an uncoditional love from heaven above
I was wallowing in wickedness and woe And faced with a fearless, fiery foe, I was weak and weary, in sin I wallow; But mercy said no and never let me go… I lost all the saintly seeds I wanted to sow; All my blessed balloons I couldn't blow …in that sour season, I was sick and slow Yet mercy said no and never let me go… I was haunted by a scary shadow, I could hear the song of the saintly sparrow Saying I need to go back to The Way… narrow. Oh mercy said no and never let me go… I lost the glorious glee and glow, I couldn't pay back the debt I owe; My valiant voice suddenly went low, Yet mercy said no and never let me go… Now, I have surrendered my sin and sorrow His saving grace and glory I know; I'm free from the forceful, fiery foe Because mercy said no and never let me go...
Broken and torn into two, lost in a unhappy darkness that traps me deep inside, homeless broken, my eternity is lost in willingness to live, so accepting of this hatred, confusing twisting this reality has become, my shadow in life and possibly death, the crossroads are here do I turn right or left ? one so smooth with a tight turn, the other cliffs off into a endless fall into crimson light, down the path I travel as darkness falls, eternity awaits as hatred lost in crimson light awaits, happiness turns to avenge my faith, trusting a hopeless romantics trials, in crimson fury as the heart burns deeply, the light returns in a shadowy meadow, as the sun cast on our now icy corpses, warmth now returns, as rest now follows, after a life of endless lust, a eternity of harsh trials, death takes over and eternity now follows.
A young girl lost in a sea of people and an ocean of heartache. The confusion plaguing her troubled mind and poisoning heart with anger had finally flooded over her entire being. All she could think of was the hatred building up behind those deep blue eyes and that fictitious smile. Pretending all the while that she is content with the life she despises. Dancing outside the suicide room, reluctant to enter. But running through the door of drugs, like a kid in a candy store. Desperately searching for an escape from the chaos dominating her life, but only finding temporary relief from her anguish. Everyday she waits patiently for someone to rescue her from the pain that is eating away at her insides. As each day passes by, she slowly loses her faith that she will ever escape. Night after night, she lays awake consuming more and more pills than the night before, praying for a way out. Years go by with no relief, and the young girl has lost all faith. As she lays awake for the last time, she smiles her fake smile, and flashes those deep blue eyes, and her prayer was finally answered with a simple pull of the trigger. She escaped.
We have been trying to be birds Flying high to the sleeping sky We have been trying to forget the past Devastated and run as fast as we can It does not matter how or why But sometimes we are stuck in a confusing ride Burning by the flame of anger Washing our constant mind with tears and fear My heart is dying for directions And my life is definitely in need for correction Life is not like what you have seen on TV Life is like a time bomb waiting to blow apart This burden mind I have been carrying over my shoulder I've been let it hover for years now Sometimes I wished I have a pair of wings to fly And blast myself to the sleeping sky Staying in one of those shimmering stars And enjoying one hour of emptiness Just me and my mind with my eyes staring at the world from afar How it seems so small, so hollow, so lost I wanna to feel so high when I am fall I wanna feel the glorious sensation of wonder When I am looking for a way-out in a dark I wanna be elevated And when everything starts to fall apart I wanna be elevated There is a power, a mighty power More than the strongest man on earth More than the smartest man or the richest even This is the power which can elevate each soul Raised all the brokenhearted Lifted the lost ones It goes deep in thought that the power will guide Then I wanna be elevated To find myself, a right way in life
As I look into his eyes he's wondering what do I see I see pain and wondrous love and as I sit an look deeper into his eyes I see a soul so black that it can't be loved so I ask why be this way why be so full of hate a hate to strong that it has you so bound down boy you don't even have faith so as I sit an look into his eyes what do I see I see a man to proud to pray to a sham to have faith I see a man lost in himself lost in his pain wondering where he went wrong saying why did I have to be this way all they every wont was for me to have faith but all I every had was hate
I don't try to be a bad guy I just turned out that way I didn't mean to hurt You It just ended up that way Grew up like a normal kid Had the normal friends Did what normal kids did Got into the trends Hit the big school Did what the boys thought was cool Got lost in this haze Hope its just a phase Kicked to the curb She probably felt that way How'd I have the nerve I should've just stayed I don't try to be a bad guy I just turned out that way I didn't mean to hurt You It just ended up that way The marks were bad "Who the hell cares?" Got in a row with my dad Now I get the stares The green was a godsend The green was fine This green would trap me In a matter of time In my thoughts I search I try to retrieve All the lost memories I've been deceived I don't try to be a bad guy I just turned out that way I didn't mean to hurt You It just ended up that way Now we're nearing the end Of this little thing called life No more turns or bends I knew it'd be full of strife For this path I've chosen Is a rough one, believe me My minds been frozen Should I attempt my final plea? I have no one to pray to No god up above It's a choice I've followed through Only thing I had Only thing I lost Was love I don't try to be a bad guy I just turned out that way I didn't mean to hurt You It just ended up that way
I'm standing in the middle of the room Lacking grace filled with gloom. So many memories I wish I could erase. Everything is gone without a trace. I can still see his face. Take a look around Not even a sound I've lost the one thing My heart finally found. I rushed home thinking I could make him stay. But for so long he's been slipping away. For so long I dreaded this day. Take a look around Not even a sound I've lost the one thing My heart finally found. His sister says she saw him with someone other than me. How can that be? How is it I didn't see? Does he hold her? Like he held me. I'm leaving today. I'm going far away. There's to many memories to stay. I've lost him anyway.
Imagine if angels are real, and they look down in sorrow and gleeful expectation? Imagine if God chooses some to come down to the earth and make things better? And they agree, for choice is real even in the hereafter. And they agree to suffer as their Lord suffered. Imagine if angels are real and they live among us. Hooked on crack vials and bottles of Budweiser. Imagine if angels are real and they submit to suffer more than most. And they submit to live lonely and unappreciated. But imagine if in a moment in history. If for but a brief moment in the 21st century. They stopped there bickering and self loathing. And they stood together and lost themselves in the inertia of God's love. Imagine if angels are real. And they came to earth to suffer for the good of humankind. And for a brief moment in the 21st century they lost themselves in the inertia of God's love. Imagine the earth quaking underneath the inertia of God's love. And imagine music everywhere. Beauty everywhere. Sisterhood everywhere. Cause the angels looked at each other and saw God staring back at them. And they said, enough!! And they crawled out the madness of satan's oppression. And they claimed the light of their remembrance and became beauty.

I am looking now at all that's been. I've been left barren - without a friend. Betrayal has ripped into our lives Wearing simple but tricky disguise. Our family will never be the same Though we struggle through and play the game. The kind we play when trying too hard To make what's wrong right, and hearts restored. Effort alone won't make things anew Lord, we need total healing from You. We lost in the destruction of sin The hope of any good we can win. Please, show us it's not all just a loss But that something's to gain from this cost. When all's said of this hard adventure, With Your transforming grace, Lord, ensure Justice and mercy redeem all of those Who lost their innocense when hate arose...
Needles in my veins, Bullets through my skull, Whisky in my blood, Tears amongst my eyes, Scars black-out my wrists, Murder floats through my mind, What's more to miss, love hope, misery, or just a simple kiss , Love has found the key out of heart, and there's no entrance left ajar, Why couldn't you conceive that I would have given up all I own and love to just be a sliver of your heart, Did you ever notice what I hade to go through to try to get close to you, I hope you don't forget my pain, because that chance has been banished from the depths of my dreams, You've lost my kiss, my sympathy, and love for such a darling flower as your self, At last I bid you good-by my lost love and hope you too don't fight yourself, cut yourself, and drink away your misery, just forget and don't think of me for all it's worth I'm just dust and fading fog.
While on my way to Church one Sunday morning Along the road I saw a car broke down I stopped to see if I could help the driver And he said I sure could use a ride to town While riding into town just making small talk He saw my Bible laying on the seat He said that's one book there I don't believe in Then he said these frightening words to me I really don't believe in God or Heaven And I don't think there really is a Hell Then I said you need to listen to this story This old country boys about to tell Every time you reach into your pocket And you pull out a bill to pay the man You need to read what's printed on that dollar Cause the words In God we Trust are in your hand Then I reached downed on the seat and got my Bible And I held it out and put it in his hand I said my Mother gave this book to me some time ago Then she said son, someday give to a friend Then we rode off into town and not a single word was said I dropped him off, I shook his hand, he just nodded his head Then I went on to Church and as I heard those Church bells sound I knew someday, somehow, someway this lost soul would be found Then the days turned into weeks and the months turned into years And his path and mine would never cross again Then just the other evening, a knock came at my door There a young man stood with a Bible in his hand He said, sir you don't know me But you once knew my Dad And this Bible I am holding Is the one that you once had He said about twenty years age His car broke down And you picked him up along the road And drove him into town He said you held this Bible out And put it in his hand He said you said some words to him He said you called him friend This morning, I've lost track of time I guess about six or seven My father looked at me and smiled Then the Lord took him to heaven But the other day, he said son The day that my life ends Take this book home where it belongs And give to my friend When he handed me the Bible Not a single word he'd say I shook his hand, he smiled at me Then he turned and walked away When I opened up the Bible It was then I'd understand Cause he had written on the cover In God we Trust is in our hands

Tonight I dreamed a dream, I was lost in a mighty gail; My ship was torn to pieces, I lost both my masts and sails . I knew my life was over, surly at sea I would die; To my family I was lost forever, oh the tears that fell from my eyes. So I knelt down on the deck, as the waves crashed over the rails; And began to say a little prayer, Lord I know your word wont fail. I'm asking you for some peace, as I am about to die; Please let my end be quick, on me please keep your eye. To my surprise as I arose, the storm that quickly came, Had diapered into the night, my ship and I remained. Then I woke up in a sweat, covered from head to toe; My heart was pounding like a hammer, my mind racing to and fro. Then I knelt and said thank you, for reminding that you care; Help me not to wait for a disaster, to talk with you in prayer.
Fast not of thyself, but unto God; do not give ourselves riches and pride. When another soul is hurt and bled, upon their head sits the beggars bread. Lift up high, do not put down. God loves sinners in this town. Looking now the lost tribe to be saved? The lost soul to lead the way. The fresh breath of air, the leap of faith, forgiveness now the blood has paved. In dire straits a life now givn'. In heaven now the souls are driven.
Ever feel like you're damned if you do Damned if you don't No matter what you do It's never right One day I'm ready to give up the fight The next day not so much From reality I fall And I'm losing sight I know how much I'm losing touch Fantasy has come to play It don't want to say goodbye or go away I'm afraid it's here to stay From these feeling I do not stray They are here every damn day All it would take from you is a phone call Your voice to say That you love me to Or that you want me to stay away I need to know one way or the other I'm sorry I'm such a bother Until then loneliness Will be the price I pay Why did we let our Circumstances get the better of us Somewhere along the path we'd lost our trust And fate took over and got in the way Why did I let people dictate What exactly I would to you say Why did we get caught up In a game neither one of us Really knew how to play One there were no winners for We both lost each other in the end And our hearts were tore Our pride needed to mend We just needed to grow, come back and bend Maybe though it really needs to be put to rest Perhaps that what is best Once and for all But I know I'm not that strong Loving you just can't be wrong I hope and pray Soon one day Things between us will all end okay For now though All my love is always being sent your way I'm sorry I still am in love with you Maybe someday I'll get it together But at this point that may just take forever I no longer have any ideas on just what exactly to do I keep the hope alive that maybe someday I'll break through to you
You lost something yesterday so beautiful and so strong. Today you just realized that something was gone. You have given your heart so completely, that you never would have conceived it. Bound and tied your mind was so very closed you only saw love, but love didn't feed your soul. When you give love it should grow stronger than a weeping willow standing as the winds blow. You lost something yesterday called pain and strife, because what you are feeling now is the beginning of a new life. Take it in stride and let God make it right. At the beginning I said you lost something yesterday so beautiful and so strong! It was your soul. Now it's time to nurture it, regain your freedom and take control.
A shallow heart so lonely, bound by sorrow and sin; is weary, worn and lost ~ A seeking darkness in woe, travels amid the gloom; lodging there making that heart it's dwelling ~ A Saviour and friend in love, encompasses the heart with care; giving joy in place of sorrow ~ A shedding light amongst the darkness, filling each void with Mercy and Grace; claiming the heart which was lost and is found ~ A salvation so sure and secure, lives within the heart eternally; forever and forever, Jesus is there!
Your mind is lost Your mind is gone Tossing and turning, in the middle of the night Not knowing that the one you love the most is gone Wonder in thoughts, but lost with words You pray to God that your voice be heard Thinking back of the old memories Bringing up the past, is now history The love you have for him is unconditionally true. Knock, knock, and knock. Someone is outside, but whom? You walked down the stairs and asked, "Who it is?" No one answers, No sniff, and Only the sound of the cold wind You looked through the peep hole; however it is blocked. You asked again, yet the only response were Knock, knock and knock. You looked out your window, but unable to see You have taken the chance and with a deep breath Counting one, two and three. You unlocked the door and opened wide In a surprise with watery eyes All in your mind and lost of words all you can think Your voice was truly heard In interruption," Baby I love you and sorry for the lost time." A tight snug around your waist and then your whole body felt in place. God has let it be known, that he is the only one, capable to bring your solider home.
I heard the voices stir and call Then into this dark abyss I did fall I fell forever, fell into a dream Then I looked up and I saw the beam A beam of light and strength did shine We dined on bread and slaked on wine I awoke from this dream, this lifelong sleep My dear love had died, I did weep How did my life pass me by so quick? My life had burnt down like the candle wick I pick the pieces up, one by one For my life was not yet done Where do I start on this lifelong quest? And where should I choose to rest? This lifelong quest I shall never finish Before I'm done my life shall diminish This lifes been good, this lifes been bad Though the endings rather sad I lost the lover, I lost my dreams Now I shall only hear the screams And the sounds of my fathers call They bid and beckon forth us all I lay my head to this eternal chant Now my thoughts I'll no longer recant
The days I lost were spent and worthless For years I tried to feel my purpose Not what they say, not what I'm told Not what I see, my fear grows To know I'm here, to know what comes To feel my fear as anger drums It took me down The dreams I kept were used and endless I threw away and felt so careless Not worth my time, not worth my life Not in my mind, it leaves my sight So tired of loss, so tired of hate But with this time there grew my fate It took me in The light becomes my eyes The clearing shows me why Alone I see the sky I walk away from lies Today I see my purpose A day of vain is worthless A mind of hate is careless The moment we die can't hurt us The lies we hate, the hate builds fear This test in faith, the goal is clear The day we're free, the day we die The seconds we breathe can leave our eyes In fear we seek, in lies we hide My heart is burnt but I now fly The more I sigh, the more I smile The more I cry there's less denial So fear it not and let it go Retrieve some light and feel it grow Today I feel, today I see The end will come, by then I'm free It tests me now I'm lost somehow
Soldier were going back to their homes, They fought a war for human victory. Someone did it for revenge, Someone did it for defence, Thousands live they lost, Thousands home they destroyed, Thousands children were orphan, Thousands lost their homes, Thousands were crying with pain, Someone who lost their eyes, Someone who lost their legs, Someone who lost their arms, Someone were paralyzed. Few of them will be honored for their bravery, Those experienced a naked dance of death, When they thanked God after suddenly a bomb blasted, They might have realised the value of living, But their poverty was only patriotism, What was their honour and regard? When the world society conveyed a message of peace, They were standing on the basement, Where innocents were crying for justice, And someone was pointing them, Why did you kill my son? Why did you kill my Dad? Why did you kill my daughter? Why did you kill my mother? Look at that heap, Those are the dead bodies, They are my relatives, Why did you kill them? Were they not human? Why did you stop innocent killings? Do you have shortage of emission? Where is your power? We also don't want to live, Have you taught them a lesson that threatened you? And you killed thousands innocent only, Is this action only having human defence?
