Never-Ending Cycles

When life beings to be comfortable You become lazy and then you get dull There's nothing interesting about yourself You desperately need to seek some help What do you hope to accomplish What's the one thing you secretly wish for If money was never even an issue What exactly would you do? Why not try to get that done Hey it could possibly be fun May this be a challenge to you To not let my words become true Do not let your parents be right That you never put up a fight That you always seem to fall You never reach your full potential So I challenge you I challenge you to apply yourself I challenge you to better yourself I challenge you to not fall into A never-ending cycle I know that you are not so sure You've tried to do some things before You start new things just like a fad But you stop and that's kind of sad You're interest just isn't in it You're enthusiam has diminished You think to yourself why eve...

The Unstoppable God

Many times I think about Your blessings and I am so amazed I find myself than recognizing it is You I must praise It is because of Your love that I feel free It is only Your love that gives me peace But no matter how much You have blessed me I find myself in such cursed misery I have fallen into temptation And yet You constantly forgive me Unfortunately I could not see All I needed was Your redemption Forgive my foolish heart oh God Forgive my lack of faith oh Lord You are my Savior, Lord Jesus Christ You loved me so much more that You gave Your life If You can give that offering, how can I do Anything less than give my life unto You? You stir up our hearts so we can respond We're all just a part of what lies beyond You're the Creator of the universe You have no measure, You're the Last and the First Thank You Lord for knowing exactly what I need Praise the Holy Trinity for always providing for me Sometimes there are things I cannot let go A required offering I do not want ...

Surrender

Often I get so comfortable, life is good Things are going well, I am happy as can be Nothing can bother me, what possibly could? I am content as ever, I feel free But in my status quo something is stirring A kind of restlessness begins to surface A dangerous, lurking presence starts daring To interrupt my comfortableness I try to resist this unwanted feeling I do not need to change anything now However a voice keeps saying I need healing Confused, I keep thinking that I do, how? No matter how nice life sometimes can get We are still not perfect human beings The Creator is not finished molding us yet When He is done, we will live like kings Surrender your life unto Jesus Surrender then can you be set free Surrender just as He done with us Surrender to live eternally There are so many times when I have struggled Life is not good, in fact it is difficult I am in the midst of many troubles Sinking deeper I'm drowning in my own faults I am now in the very depths of despair Somehow, some...

Overwhelmed

Right now I feel so very stressed  I could really use some rest  To many things call out to me  When will I ever be set free  I try to do the best I can  Carry out what I had planned  Do everything one at a time  Oblivious to the committed crime       I’m overwhelmed       This is how I feel      I’m overwhelmed       I need to be healed      I’m overwhelmed  I forget to do my daily devotions  Distracted by too much commotion  Ignore the Bible, don't even pray  I'll just do it some other day  Soon I get much busier  Life isn't getting easier  More and more I rely on my own  "I'm so tired," I always moan       I’m overwhelmed       This is how I feel       I’m overwhelmed       I need to be healed       I’m overwhelmed  My...

Temptation

After a long day of working hard I'm physically drained, I'm so tired I don't feel like doing what I could Yet I try to stay righteous as I should All these temptations keep pestering me So much pleasure to bring relief I know I should not give in to them Still I find myself slipping away from Him But I am not alone Cause I'm not the only one No temptation has seized me That isn't uncommon to everybody We don't have to sympathize Because we already empathize And God is so faithful He's such an amazing friend He does not let us be tempted Beyond what we can bear It shows how much He is faithful It shows how much He cares Yes He provides a way out So we can now stand tall We don't have to be afraid There is a way to escape We have ourselves a community People there in times of need Thank You for Your sacrifice For tearing down the veil We can come before the Lord So we can never fail

It's All About

It's all about G - O - D! It's all about the King of kings It's all about Jesus Christ It's all about His sacrifice It's all about the Holy Spirit It's all about how They just won't quit It's all about... How life is filled with such scrutiny When what we need is authenticity What we need is a true lifestyle Something that makes it all worthwhile We tend to forget who to worship Waiting for life to just pick up We just need to rightly respond Engulf ourselves in His subtle nuance Because it's all initiated We don't have to investigate it He has prepared the way for us We just need to now focus Focus on G - O - D! Focus on the King of kings Focus on Jesus Christ Focus on His sacrifice Focus on the Holy Spirit Focus on how They just won't quit We must run the race with endurance Not have sin hold us in a trance Hate what is evil, cling to what is good Remember that we have the Truth The author of faith, and the perfecter For joy, the cross He h...

Being the Best

Who remembers those in second place, Those who came up short running the race, Who couldn't beat one other person, Who can never say that they have won? We live our lives like these same people We're seen as stupid, weak, and feeble Once we can say that we had it all Only to stumble, stagger, and fall We became small when we once were big To eat we have to first feed the pigs We have become dead, lost, and strangers But our Father's slaves have it better When He provides we are family Provide for myself it's all bout me I hide behind my excuses and lies Forgetting bout He, for us, who died I'm tired, I'm weary I realize my sins I am now self-aware Celebration begins Celebration time Because we're the best Celebration time We're better than the rest The Father has shown unconditional love Even though we were least deserving of Cast aside the Laws, throw away your fears Become unhindered, celebration is here We are called to give generously...

Fallen Hero

Oh how the mighty have fallen I thought you were very special You appeared so high and mighty I admired you very much Then one moment I looked at you And saw you very differently Instead of a great person now I saw someone ordinary In that moment my hero fell I was very disappointed Now to whom will I look up to, Who will become my new hero? But I cannot end it there Wallowing in disappointment You gave me inspiration once I simply cannot forget that I want to show my gratitude For the many things you have done Thank you for what you have taught me To me that remains a big deal Thanks, from the bottom of my heart I may now admire you less I still look up to you a lot I still respect you very much I think you are a great person Continue to affect others May you never give up the fight Stand firm in what you deeply trust Maintain your humble character Keep on educating yourself Listen to others constantly Don't give in to your distractors They would like to see your downfall But you ...

For the Things I've Done For You

I look upon this life I live Knowing that I give and give But no one seems to give right back So all I'm left with is just jack Why do people take advantage? Leaving me with all this baggage Man I'm sick of all this dung That is why I wrote this song You don't know me But you owe me For the things I've done for you You just screwed me And you used me For the things I've done for you Now the gloves are coming off I'm no longer being soft If this is what the world is filled with Full of sick people and their kith No longer will I be a victim I'm fighting back against the scum You'd just thought I'd take and take But I'm leaving nothing in my wake You don't know me But you owe me For the things I've done for you You just screwed me And you used me For the things I've done for you Something about this all seems wrong But this feeling isn't gone Full of bitterness and hate And all this rage just can't wait I'm about to explode ...

In His Time

He is the Alpha He who started His work in us He is the Omega He will complete His work in us He finishes what He starts Molding each and every part Fitting in His holy plan Time itself is in His hands So why should we even worry Always be in such a hurry Trying to get our dreams accomplished Something hoped for, something wished We get so very impatient On our own we begin to hunt For that one elusive thing When we should give it to the King Give it up as a sacrifice Just as God did with Jesus Christ Sending His only begotten Son His ultimate goal has been done All He wants in return Is to come to Him and then burn In our hearts a righteous flame With a passion for His name It may have taken several years But for us He held on dear We must take it as a sign That He works in His own time He is shaping us into His will When He is finished, we'll be with Him still We are vessels to the Lord Almighty Singing His praises when we're togethor in glory!
