JESUS NAME

Holy Ghost
I need Him most
Lord of Hosts
In Him I boast

Nation against nation
Who will prevail?
But with my Jesus
I've conquered Hell

So the tribulations
Of this life
Do not worry me
I'm saved through Christ

Hallelujah for His Grace
Savior of the human race
Lucifer's plan will surely fail
He will descend into hell

I lay down my burdens
O, how I've carried this shame
But I am deemed victorious
Thanks to Jesus Name

This fire cannot
Be contained
I'm holding on
To Jesus Name

HE KNOWS MY HEART

He knows my heart
He knows my name
He's the Spirit
That courses through my veins

He is my God
He is my King
He knows my heart
And my reason to be

On the cross
He showed His love
And it was more
Than enough

Though times were hard
Felt like giving up
He dwells within me
So I won't corrupt

He knows my heart
He knows my spirit
His Good News
We need to hear it

He knows my heart
He knows my mind
No other Savior
To save mankind

LIGHT OF THE WORLD

From Genesis to Revelation
You are the Light of the nations
How many times have we forgot
That on the cross our sins were bought?

O my God, you are
The Light of the world
From every tribe and nation
To every boy and girl

You are the Salt
You are the Light
And passion within
It ignites

All glory to Christ
The Chosen King of Bethlehem
Who knew that it was He
That He is the Great I Am?

Lion of Judah, Prince of Peace
He calms the raging seas
And He saves the least of these
From these chains He frees

He is the Light of the world
He is what my soul longs for
A perfect world with Him at the helm
In Holy Place I long to dwell

O MY GOD

Hallelujah
O my God
You are my Savior
And my King
And I know
That on the cross
That you bled
And died for me
I will wait
For your return
No longer will I
Grieve or mourn
You take away
My suffering
O Lord Jesus
You're my King
Lucifer
Will not succeed
Against my Lord
The Nazarene
Lucifer
Will always fail
My God conquered
Death and Hell
By His Grace
The veil was torn
With gold crowns
We are adorned
Puts an end
To suffering
O Lord Jesus
Be our King
O Jesus
You're my King
You are the
One for me
You became
A curse for me
When you died
Upon the tree
Salvation
Came to us
Upon the cross
We put our trust
We know that
You're coming back
And your Grace
Will never lack

SETTING CAPTIVES FREE

And When there
Was no hope
Jesus Christ
Came to me
He had broke
Every chains
And He Set
This sinner free
He told me that
I am more
Than at first
What I believed
He gave me
A free gift
When on a cross
He died for me
He had died
On a tree
All for you
And all for me
To set all
Sinners free
He had Saved
Humanity
He gives to us
True hope
And He will
Soon return
To defeat
Lucifer
In the lake
He will burn
Lord I am
A true failure
But it's me
You purify
And I know that
When you return
I will be
Your loving Bride
Thank you Lord
Jesus Christ
For setting this
Captive free
You Did it
All for thee
On a rugged
Cursed tree

LORD MY GOD

I'm in love
With my maker
I'm in love
With my God
I'm in love
With my Savior
O the Lord my God
I travel down
A stormy road
As I praise my God
I know one day
The storm will clear
And evil will be gone
I travel down a narrow road
To the Lord my King
I look at Him upon the Throne
And for Him I sing
I travel down
This rocky path
And the devil won't prevail
My Lord my God
Will protect me
From the gates of Hell
In His name
Is the Power
In His name
I bow down
Jesus is
My Lord and Savior
He will cast my crown
I travel down
This narrow road
To embrace my king
To me my Lord Jesus
Is my everything
This path is dark at first
But ahead I see the light
I see my Jesus smiling
Saying everything's alright

I BELIEVE

I believe
In the power of God
I believe
He's coming soon
I believe
He is the Almighty
I believe
He's pure and true
I believe
In the coming storm
I believe
I'll be reborn
I believe
He will redeem
I believe
He loves me
Thank you God
For Salvation
Thank you Lord
Of all Nations
Thank you God
For blessing me
Thank you Lord
For Calvary
I know that our time is soon
We patiently wait for you
A God both Holy and Righteous
Your love is both pure and true
You are Ruler of all nations
Your love is deep as oceans
Your love is like tidal waves
Evil destroyed and saints saved
I am blessed in my walk
In this storm you are the calm
You will be here when it clears
We've nothing at all to fear
With you Lord I persevere
You will wipe away my tears
Shed so many through the years
I now hold you near and dear
There is a strong storm coming
Satan will be defeated
It will be a blessed day
I can already see it

FALLING

I wake up in the morning
I see myself in the mirror
Sometimes I wish
There was a different picture
Disgusted with myself at times
Why would you be so kind
To a sinner like me
That you'd give up your life
And die on a tree
For someone like me
Who isn't worthy
My sins, my sins
They leave me dirty
With myself
I am disgusted
When I am alone
I can't be trusted
I fall down in sin
When will this end?
I know that I am saved
But why, but why?
It was because of my sins
You were nailed to a cross to die
I love you, Lord
For taking my rightful place
But when I look in the mirror
I see a sick disgrace
But thank you, Lord
For giving me Grace
In this life
I will walk by faith
I won't give in
To the devil's taunts
Because of you, I'm worthy
Even when my soul is hurting
Because of you
I have faith
Thank you, Lord
For your Grace
Thank you, Lord
For your Grace

LOVE NEVER DIES

This ode goes out
To the Jew and to the Greek
For none of us are different
And asylum we seek
We long for paradise
Every one of us
We cry out
To our Lord Jesus
To know He is our God
To know He is our King
I forever rejoice
And I rejoice merrily
There's a song in my heart
Its flame never dies
For in my heart and soul
The Spirit continues to rise
That still small voice
Resides in my heart
I feel true love
It keeps me from falling apart
The love never fades
The love never dies
Even in my darkest hour
He continues to rise
Holy Spirit
Within me
I was bound
But now I'm free
Because of you
Holy Spirit
A thunderous voice
I can hear it
I praise you now
In song and lyric
I praise you now
In song and lyric

(I DON'T) STAND ALONE

I came into this world
I thought I stood alone
For I felt so alone
In the dead zone
I was so sore
I was so afraid
How can I live this way
Every hour of every day?
A tear rolled down my cheek
So frozen, couldn't speak
Then I heard a voice audibly
Saying "I've come to bring you peace!"
I came into this world
I never stood alone
Now I know my King
Is always on the throne
I'll join Him in paradise
Where love never dies
He takes away the pain
And wipes the tears from my eyes
I can proudly say
That I don't stand alone
For I have a mighty Savior
So fierce and strong
He is capable
More than I could believe
This mighty Warrior
Died in place of me
The same man who died on a cross
Was once the precious baby Jesus
And from the heavy chains of sin
He came to release us
He came to give us hope
He came to give us Grace
And still to this day
Jesus saves
And still to this day
Jesus saves

MIGHTY KING

There's a mighty King
Exalted above all nations
With His all-consuming power
There are no hiding places
He is Lord over all
And because of Him
I won't fall
Cities and nations
Will come and go
But my God
Will always be in control
He will never disappear
He will never fade
He is in control
Every hour of every day
Can you hold the universe
Within your hand?
God has molded you
From the sand
He created us
He created kings
He is why I sing
So joyfully
I know He's in control
He's in my heart and soul
To be with Him
Is my goal
I take His free gift
And I feel whole
My God, my God
My wonderful King
My God, my God
Is so amazing
With Him, I know
I can conquer the day
I'm in awe
I'm so amazed
I'm in awe
I'm so amazed

WITH HIS LOVE

With His love
I can face tomorrow
With His love
I no longer feel sorrow
With His love
I am free
With His love
He died for me
To save sinners
Like you and me
To save sinners
He died on the tree
With His love
I hear the angels
With His love
I am capable
Of all things
Hard or easy
I praise the Lord
Because He pleases me
With His love
I have joy unspeakable
With His love
Our bond is unbreakable
With His love
I am blessed
What He did on the cross
Was the greatest romance
To save the church
To save His bride
He got on the cross
And on the cross, He died
With His love
He died on a tree
With His love
For you and me
With His love
For you and me

LOVE SO PURE

You are the Rock
Which I stand upon
You're a mighty King
You are my God
I will dwell
Where angels trod
I was once afraid
I was once so lost
Then Jesus entered
A dream come true
He helped me escape
This life of solitude
I bow down to my God
I bow down to my King
And the devil
Will feel His mighty sting
I await that day
The wedding feast
The Groom will take His bride
Grace upon golden streets
Hallelujah for His Grace
It can never be replaced
Or diminished
For the work on the cross
It's forever finished
It's like we've won
The lottery
Jesus forever
Loving me
Hallelujah
For His Grace
I long to see
My Savior's face
A love so pure
He saved the human race
A love so pure
He saved the human race

SPIRIT POURED OUT

I pour out my spirit
I praise you in song and lyric
My verses, they are for you
For you're the God of truth
I pour out my heart
I praise you in my art
You took this lost soul
Out of the dark
Brought it into light
It was your sacrifice
That gave me a chance
The world's greatest romance
What you did
On the tree
I know for a fact
That it saved me
I couldn't do it on my own
I know the one on the throne
His Kingdom come
His will be done
Hallelujah for our King
He is why I'm rejoicing
With my voice
I rejoice
For the King
That filled the void
So I would be saved
My neighbor as well
He saved my soul
From the fires of hell
So I will rejoice
And let out a joyous noise
He's my King
And He's my God
He's my King
And He's my God

CUP OF SORROW

It poured over me
This cup of sorrow
It overflows with voices
Saying there's no tomorrow

It left me here
In sadness and despair
And I feared
That God isn't there

Depression kicked in
I couldn't make it on my own
Schizophrenia
Took full control

But there is a Savior
That says I have a purpose
The doors to my depression
I'm now ready to close them

There's a new chapter
And Jesus is the star
He wasn't out of reach
Though He felt so far

I reached out my arms
And felt Jesus' embrace
With His love for me
I can conquer today

UNFAILING LOVE

Raining down is His Mercy
Raining down in great power
With His Grace and Glory
I am forever showered

I revel at His Beauty
His Grace is enough
His Grace is sufficient
His Grace I trust

I fall down to my knees
I will worship thee
For you are my Savior, Indeed
You're my King of Kings

Let's conquer the world together
With great Glory and power
Because of the cross
I am empowered

Such a perfect Lamb
Laid down his life for mine
And His love and Grace
Will forever shine

Worthy is this Lamb
That died for me
That died for my neighbor
And for the least of these

FAILURE

I keep falling in
To the same mistakes
And every time I do
It's my heart that breaks

I feel like a failure
Like there's nothing I can do
I need you in my life, Lord
Jesus, I need you

You pick me up again
You say to me "What sin?"
This battle I will win
I'll be Born Again

Every time I feel like a failure
Jesus Christ is the answer
Sin comes over me like a cancer
But sin will be the failure

The wages of sin is death
And death won't do me in
The power of Christ in me
Washes away my sin

I will leave this world
Changed and renewed
I am not a failure
For Jesus is the Truth

IN PLACE OF YOU

I used to put these worldly things
Lord, in place of you
And with you, Lord
I wanted nothing to do

I despised you, Lord
Why was I lashing out for?
When even before
I was so adored

In my foolishness
I thought I could find happiness
In these worldly things
But rejection still stings

I put a girl
In place of you
She broke my heart
But you never do

I am sorry Lord,
For now I know your place
You came to give me love
You came to give me Grace

Thank you, Lord Jesus
It's your Mercy that frees us
I put you in your rightful place
And with you I shall win the race

REJECTION

There is so much rejection
You will experience in life
You can't seem to escape
These troubled times

You're running out of hope
Your dreams are fading
And you feel the heartbreak
There's no escaping

But though this life
Has so much rejection
There is someone
Who will never reject you

He died on a cross for you
He suffered the crucifixion
He gave you His Grace
At His resurrection

His love is unfailing
And it's unconditional
It never fades or rejects
Grace for every individual

This life will give you pain
And reject you time and time again
Jesus never will
And Jesus loves you, Amen!

MAKER

Savior of the whole world
Maker of the galaxies
Spans across the universe
And He lives inside of me

Redeemer of all of us
In His Name I put my trust
I know He's coming back for us
I know He has love for us

Hallelujah for the cross
His Grace was more than enough
The power of Hell was lost
When on the cross, He showed His love

Redeemer of the whole world
Holds the world in His hands
Has undying love for us
He rose again from the dead

The cross was more than enough
He showed His undying love
And His love for us
Is written in the stars above

Maker, Redeemer,
King of Kings,
There's Grace, and Mercy,
Jesus, I sing

OUT OF THE DARKNESS

Out of the darkness
I see a beacon of Grace
All the cards
Are now in place

Out of the darkness
You shine your light
And I know that with you
Everything is alright

Out of the darkness
You shine your rays
I long for that day
To give you all praise

You shine your light
And the darkness flees
Lord, I worship you
I fall down to my knees

Out of the darkness
I see your rays of hope
And within your light
My love in you grows

You shine your light
You end the darkness
You free this prisoner
From his bondage

HOPE RISING

Living Waters
A flowing stream
Hope is rising
Crashing over me

A storm is brewing
One of Grace
How I long to see
My Savior's face

Hope is rising
I am newly born
I was forgiven by Grace
When the veil was torn

I am reborn
As Hope is rising in me
With Jesus, I know
I can face the enemy

I'm a conqueror
Hope is rising in me
I'm no longer held
In captivity

Hope is rising
And sets prisoners free
As we bow our knee
Ironically

BROKEN PEOPLE

Lord, we're a house
Of broken people
From every street corner
To every church steeple

Our attempts at perfection
They are always feeble
But the goodness of Grace
You've made us all equal

Lord, we're a house
Of broken people
Taking pleasure in things
That are truly evil

How can you love
This house of broken people?
But you do, Oh Lord
You love us, Lord, so simple

Lord, we're a house
Of broken people
But you fix our brokenness
And you love us as equals

This house of broken people
Will inherit your Kingdom
And you are the reason
This broken soul is singing

CLING TO YOU

There are many things
I don't want to go through
I cling to your garment
Lord, I cling to you

Help me to see
Better days than this
Give my heart eternal joy
Surrounded by your bliss

There are many things
That I cannot help
I want to cling to you
I want to die to self

This life gives me trouble
And sometimes
I don't feel you near
And tears fall from my eyes

But in that very moment
I feel your mighty hand
It reaches down to me
And saves me once again

Though I have fallen
Though I have failed
You reach out your arms
As now I die to self

BURDENS

The burdens I carry
Are plenty and heavy
They consume me
And they condemn me

But thanks to Jesus
This burden He carried
Upon the cross
Heading to Calvary

This burdensome stone
He lifted it from me
Though I'm not worthy
He gives me His Glory

Raining down from Heaven
His unrelenting Mercy
He is coming back
And I am ready

The burdens I carry
Are no more
For I accepted Jesus
As my Lord of Lords

The burdens He carries
Upon His shoulders
I no longer worry
Because He is my Holder

FAN THE FLAME

Fan the flame
Watch it grow
There's a Savior
This I know

Our sins were crimson
Now white as snow
And in God
Our love will grow

Fan the flame
Watch it burn
In our lives
It overcomes

Hallelujah
For His flame
A love so powerful
It can't be contained

Lord, please fill my cup
Let it overflow
I will fan your flame
And watch it grow!

THE MESSAGE

I believe this is my purpose
To use my words to inspire
Only by the Holy Spirit
Can I preach this message

I'm a poet at heart
And I use this to His advantage
I hope whoever reads my poetry
That they feel the Spirit

I write because I love it
But I couldn't do this without God
Jesus Christ gave me this gift
And I will use it for His Glory

I pray to reach the lost
With my words, I want to reach them
Every sinner born here
Deserves to hear of this wonderful news

That though we are sinners
What Jesus did on the cross
Freed us from the death
That was promised to every sinner

I hope my message is clear enough
I am a poet and I feel it's my calling
I want to win souls over to Jesus
Because He's the best thing in my life!

DEAR SIN

Dear sin
I see you creeping in on me again
And you get under my skin
Because I'm born again

Dear sin
I won't let you do me in
I know one day that this will end
You are no longer my friend

Though I bury my head in shame
There's a power beyond the grave
The wages of sin is death
Yet I know I'm still born again

Sin's condemnation
It couldn't do me in
And in the end
I know I win

Washed by the blood
Of Almighty Victory
And you, dear sin
Are finally history

Dear sin
Your time is at an end
For now I have Jesus
As my one true friend

CARRY MY CROSS

Lord, you carried the cross
Up Calvary Hill
My soul was lost
Until they had you killed

You knew you had to die
For sinners like me
How you loved us, Lord
You love the least of these

You don't only carry yours
You carry my cross as well
You overcame death
And snatched the keys to hell

Carry my cross, carry my cross
Up the road to Calvary
Thank you, Lord, Thank you, Lord
For doing this to save me

Carry my cross, carry my cross
Save the least of these
And only by your blood
It's your love that sets us free

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
I was blind but now I see
You were persecuted and killed
As you carried my cross to Calvary

SALVATION HAIKU

Call on Jesus Christ
And you will be saved by Grace
Your Savior will save

I AM NOT AFRAID

I don't have to be afraid
That's not the reason I was made
I was created with a purpose
I was made to worship

A higher power than myself
The same is why I die to self
I don't let my sin overcome
Thy will be done, thy will be done

Greater is my purpose, Lord
Your arms are always open, Lord
I arm myself with your Word
I slay dragons with that sword

I don't have to be afraid
I have better things in store
I know that He's coming back for me
My only comfort is in the Lord

So I am not afraid
That's not why I was made
He created me with purpose and desire
My God, My God, He's not a liar

ARE YOU STILL BOUND

Are you still bound
By your guilt?
Are you still bound
By your shame?

There's a power
That dwells in you
That same power
Caused the dead to raise

The worries in this life
Are just the blink of an eye
Grace is forevermore
And Grace wins every time

Son, you are no longer bound
Daughter, you are no longer bound
The minute you called on Christ
Was when you became safe and sound

Are you still bound
By the burdens of this life?
Give it all to Jesus
And He will end your strife

Give it all to Jesus
And He will change your life
We will have the Father
Forever by our side

CLING TO THE CROSS

There is a power
That conquered my sin
On a rugged cross
He died for all men

Though I feel guilt
And I am so ashamed
I know it's that same power
Within me that saves

So I will cling to the cross
No longer feel sin's condemnation
I'm no longer the same person
No longer the same victim

Now I tell my story
One of great victory
He changed my history
He is all glory

So I will cling to the cross
And I will walk by faith
In the light of God
Because Jesus, He still saves

REIGN DOWN FROM THE HEAVENS

Reign down from the Heavens
Your power and glory
I have a Savior
Righteous and Holy

Reign down now
Your glory and honor
And I am proud
To call you my Father

Reign down from the Heavens
Your Kingdom come
Jesus is standing
Let His will be done

A mighty King
Of glory and honor
And I am proud
To call Him my brother

Reign down from the Heavens
His goodness and light
Though I lived in the dark
He takes away the night

Sunday, July 24, 2016

WARM EMBRACE

In the arms of your mercy
Such a warm embrace
I can't wait to see my Savior
Meet Him face to face

Will I shout for joy
Or will I stand in awe
Will I kiss His feet
Or will I drop my jaw

I thank you, Lord Jesus
For all you've done for me
You saved the whole world
As they nailed your hands and feet

You died so I could live
Thanks for this gift you give
Even though I've fallen short
I'm the sinner that you died for

No greater love than this
I used to throw stones at Him
Now I'm in His warm embrace
Another sinner saved by Grace

THE HAND THAT GUIDES ME HOME

The hand that guides me home
Is the hand of you alone
You make me feel so warm
My refuge from the storm

I need you in my every hour
The enemy tries to overpower
But you will crush that serpent's head
To your Kingdom I'm being led

You never leave me astray
With you I can conquer the day
A greater purpose is why I was made
You take away my guilt and shame

I fail you on the daily
And ask why you ever made me
If I can't do this on my own
But I cannot do this alone

In my darkest hour, I feel your hand
I feel you guiding me again
I feel you with every step
You conquered Hell and death

UPON STREETS OF GOLD

There is a Mighty King
This I know
He reigns from the Heavens
Upon streets of gold

He turned my scarlet sins
White as snow
There is a Savior
This I know

Jesus loves me
This I know
With me He is never finished
For He tells me so

There is a God
This I know well
With His perfect sacrifice
He took the keys of death and Hell

There is a Maker
This I know
He is returning soon
So be ready to go

IN HIS NAME

In your Name, I find rest
In your Name, I find forgiveness
The Perfect Lamb was slain for me
And to save the least of these

The fires of Hell could not repel
The storms of my Father
They come crashing over me
Reign over me your Glory and Honor

From my life, the devil flees
For God will bring him to his knees
There's no power in Hell
And Lucifer knows it well

In your Name, I find rest
Wrap me in your Righteousness
Hallelujah, the cross was enough
My sins cannot keep up

In your Name, there is love
You put smiles upon the cumbersome
I walk hand in hand with the Son
So let our Father’s Will be done

WHERE I'LL BE

Where I'll be
On the Day of Judgment
I'll be beside my Father
I'm in His New Covenant

I know the doors to paradise
Are open for me
You gave sight to this blind man
Thank God that I can see

The world is going crazy
But I find comfort in your arms
You pick me up when I fall
No matter how hard or far

I take this communion
I forever honor you
Just like yours for me
My love for you is true

I know I have stumbled
But you pick me up again
You are the King of Glory
And sin can never win

SPARROW

Look at the sparrow
To get a glimpse
Of how our God loves us
I feel the Savior's kiss

Even the sparrow
He takes care of it
How much more
Does He love His kids?

He takes care
Of the least of these
I've come to a saving knowledge
From my chains, He frees me

Even the sparrow
How much more does He love you?
I have felt Him with me
His love forever true

Even the sparrow
Knows He has a King
The Mighty Son of God
The Precious Prince of Peace

HIGHER POWER

There's a Higher Power
And His love showers
It showers over me
It helps blind eyes to see

There's a Higher Power
He's in my every hour
I bow down to Him
I bow down to Him

Even though I sin
He picks me up again
That slippery serpent
Can never do me in

For I have a Higher Power
That shows me favor
In my every hour
I am with my Savior

There's a Higher Power
He wraps His arms around me
In my darkest hours
His love sets me free

A LOVE THAT CONQUERS ALL

There's a love I know
A love that conquers all
So when the devil tempts me
I know that I won't fall

For the Lord will catch me
His name frees me from my chains
No longer condemned by sin
He took away my sadness and pain

I long for the day
That I'll see Him face-to-face
If I could see paradise right now
I long for a taste

Satan tries to tempt me
He prolongs my pain
I stand before the Son
Death, where is your sting?

I worship a God
That loves me so
Hallelujah for Christ Jesus
The greatest love I know

ARISE

Arise, dear beloved
Your time has come
I saw you there
So cumbersome

But my beloved
It's time for you to stand
I died on the cross
To give you a second chance

It was because I love you
That I was put to death
But have comfort in these words
Death couldn't do me in

I conquered the grave for you
So that sin would be erased
From your life, your guilt and shame
I came to give you Grace

Now Beloved, I tell you to arise
You will one day see me in the skies
The sky will crack, the dead will rise
I'll take you to where love never dies

NOT ABOUT ME

It's not about me
And the more that I believe
The more that I see
The more that I am free

Hallelujah for the cross
It erased my sins
I was broken beyond repair
Till Jesus walked in

It's not about me, Lord
It's all about you
The more that I believe
The more I see you're true

Hallelujah for your scars
You were beaten and maimed
So that I would have a chance
You conquered the grave

Hallelujah for your Grace
I will forever believe
Many don't believe in you
But I'm already bowing my knee

BELOVED

O Father who art thou in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Nails in your hands and feet
To pay the price for my sin and shame

Who would have done it?
Who could have done it but you?
You lived a sinless life
And with me you're never through

I give in to your mercy
Raining down from the sky
For a selfish sinner like me
You took up the cross and died

But you rose again
Now I sing your praises
I await that day
That you open up the heavens

The sky will crack
As you call your children
And I long for the day
That I'm called your beloved
