What ever happened
To the design called family
I was raised to see that
Every family
Desperately needs a father
A protector
A husband
Yet I see so many fatherless homes
So many kids grow up hating their father
Then they become them
They abandon their family
They become the man they hated
So where are the men of courage
Who will take their responsibilities
Who provide for their families
Who will protect their families
Who will lead their families
Who will honor, respect and love their wives
Who hold their family as second priority only to God
Where are the men of courage?

Day after day
Night after night
I go on fighting for Christ
I go through the debates
The arguments
Trying to prove his existence
I don't know why I try when he'll already did
America knows the name of Jesus
They've heard the Gospel message
So why do I keep fighting
When he already won
I keep fighting because of love
I love the people of this world
I don't want them to fall to Satan
Instead I want them to jump to Christ
The world keeps telling me all the logistics
All the scientific facts
But even though their facts are false
They don't show the whole comparison
Over an argument
To win a stupid argument
That may not matter in the next 30 minutes
Why does this world keep stalling
When my God gave up the brawl
And slammed sin straight through the wall
If I'm wrong then my life will still have the same meaning as yours
But if your wrong then your going to regret it for eternity
My God has already won
And when he comes back every knee will bow
Every tongue will confess
That Jesus is God
All odds have come against him
And everything that came against him
Fell at his feet
The laws of death lie there broken
My sin lie's there
The sins of the world lie there
He has already won
So back down now
Give up your soul
And

Be

Embraced

By

Love

All around all I hear is
Do good in school
Get a good job
Make some cash
You see they leave out the last part
"And die"
I stopped and looked around
Were told to do what we're told and climb the ladder
What they didn't say is there's some broken rungs on that ladder
Money doesn't solve my problems
Neither do some useless pics on a screen
Neither do the pills
The drinks
Or the sleepless nights with a girl
I may not have experienced these things
But I've seen so money lives crash and burn because of them
Here we have the rise of feminism
All I hear are protests
Women's rights regarding abortion,
Pay
Equal rights
Yet those same women
Are the skimpily clad models guys look at on screens
You see the objectification of women doesn't happen with equal rights
So much as the way the look through the eyes of men
I could right day in and day out
Society is crashing
When we'll we get our heads out of the sand and look at ourselves
Abortion is ******
Lust is adultery
When we'll we see the monstrosities in our lives?
When we'll we see the cure
Jesus loves those little babies
What's even stranger is that he loves the killers of those babies
He died for each and every one of them
Jesus died for the adulterers
The rapists
The murderers
The innocent
The arrogant
The Prideful
He died for sinners
He died for this suicidal society

It's a dance so many enter
But few are strong enough to lead
At the end they plead
To have one more chance
And they would do it all differently
When you enter the dance
You only have a single chance
Made up of many chances
Yet this dance has an end
Some wish it would bend
But it's more than a trend
It's beyond the ability to comprehend
So many people make the wrong moves
This is what sin proves
For the wages of sin is death
But the Gift of God is eternal life
When you begin this dance
Don't waste your chance
Cause at the end of the dance
You will be judged at his hand
But you can't perform the right dance
Unless you allow him to show the prance

They light up the sky
Like pink and purple dye
They're an open door
To new worlds and new planets
Meteors and comets
Make the world respond with rockets
Flying through the door
Like we have nothing left to poor
Their beautiful
Wonderful
Worthy of a stare
Like their's not another care
The stars are full of questions
Without answers
Are we alone in the universe?
Are we ready to leave this world
And take to the stars
Are we ready for new worlds
Beyond our imagination
Where we can do things beyond all possibility

Every day I get up and go to school
I'm called crazy
Stupid for believing in something I can't see
But how can I remain silent
How can I not tell them about the hope that is in me
So many hopeless roads that they are running down at top speed
Every day I get up and walk into battle
On the inside I just want to scream the result of their futility
But I guess some just have to learn the hard way
I'm surrounded by kids who want the answers to life
They want to know their purpose
The answer is Jesus Christ
Jesus gave the answer to life
He fights for them even now in their denial
I can't help but to look on them with love
The love of Jesus
This is our battle cry
Of Love

All we can think about is politics now
It's all about blacks vs. whites
Women vs. Men
God created different roles for men and women
That doesn't mean women are less then men
This world grieves my heart
Feminists hate the fact that they need the fathers permission
Before they **** their child
Abortion is a monster
Fewer things make me madder
Or sadder
The Bible says that God's law is written on the hearts of all people
We know abortion is wrong
We just don't want the responsibility of our actions
God created one human race
Not blacks and whites
Not whites and blacks
So why can't we live and treat each other with love and respect

People ask
If God loves us
Then why do bad things happen to his followers?
Here are some of the questions
Why did God allow me to be an orphan?
Why did God allow this injury to turn me into a monster
on the inside and out?
Why does God allow these temptations to haunt me?
Why does he allow my family to hate me?
Why do I have this disability?
Why did you allow my father to abuse me?
Here's why
Because he knew he could trust you with this hardship
He knew that you couldn't get through the pain alone
He knew that you had what it takes
He knew that he would be there to guide you through
He knew the limit to what your heart could take
He knew you are a fighter
He knew that with his power
He will shine the light through the darkness
He allowed this trial to come to you
Because he knew he could trust you with it
He knew you could do it
Those are only a few questions
I'm sure there are a lot more

So full of wholes
So full of lies disguised as truths
The lack of evidence proves it's just a ruse
It's so hopeless
My heart breaks for Atheists
So many work so hard to bring followers of Christ down
There is futility in their lives it will get them no where but down
So many know the truth
So many atheists know of Jesus
Yet they hate him
They've seen him
Yet claim that he doesn't exist
How can you hate something so much
That doesn't exist?

There's a place called Hell
It's burning fire in a cell
You could be headed there right now and you don't want to know it
Or maybe it hurt's you to much to show it
Hell is a place of fire and torment
A place of loneliness
You may be asking why I say this is the truth that saves
It sounds like that truth that scathes
The reason is because you don't have to go there
You may think I know I'm good enough
Well being good could never make you clean enough for heaven
Sin sends you to Hell
Jesus sends you to Heaven
The Bible says for all have sinned
And fallen short of God's glory
We are all headed for Hell originally
But lucky for us it didn't stay that way
Because Jesus didn't stay in the grave
He was God who came from Heaven
To be sin for us
There had to be a payment
Jesus was the payment
He loves you so much that he died for you
So you wouldn't have to go to Hell
And spend eternity in that cell
Accept his gift
You were warned of Hell
What's you're choice
Heaven
Or Hell?

She opened her eyes to white walls
White sheets
A pain in her jaw that felt concrete
She couldn't feel her face
Her jaw was filled with an empty space
Then she remembered
The bullet that was meant to ****
Missed its mark as if it was aimed with skill
A shattered jaw
restrains her maw
All she wants to ever do
Is scream her problems away
Her Mother shattered and broken hearted runs to her bedside
She hears her Father was at work as usual
He nearly lost one of the greatest blessings this world has to offer
But he's to busy making money and making offers
She goes to the therapy
Mental and physical
She hears she may never be able to eat or speak the same way again
The therapy doesn't help
She feels like a floating piece of kelp
She feels she has no purpose in life
No reason to exist
So if living hurts
Then why live at all?
Then one day
She hears a knock on the door
She opens it
There she sees that girl in the hall she always avoided
That girl who tried to tell her about God and Jesus
Before she thought her and her God were silly
But now she feels chilly
She lets her in
She tells her about a God who loves her
A God who gave her a reason to live
She realizes the futility of the atheism she grew up with
She goes to church with her friend
To her surprise people welcome her
Although she looks different with her deformed jaw
They welcome her and seat her in the front row
She hears more of this God
To hear it sounds kind of crazy
Then she hears about the evidence of his existence
Her heart immediately becomes whole
She accepts Jesus as her savior
She feels love like nothing this world ever promised her
Then she gets to know that guy in her youth group
Shes been burned before
But every time before
They always wanted something
All he wanted to do was give her something
He gave her kindness and respect
He gave her love
Whenever they talk
All he cares about is her dreams and what she wants
He talks about himself only when she asks
As she grows older she prays and prays
That God would show her if he is the one
On her twenty third birthday
He brings a gift
A ring
She knows immediately
He's the one
You see when she listened to Jesus
He led her to a husband who loves and honors her
When she followed the world
She settled for thieves
And boys who claimed to be men
If only every American Teen Romance had this ending
Unfortunately they end up worse

A guy meets a girl at the beginning of the year
As they get to know each other
Outcome the tears
First come tears of Joy
Next come tears of pain
The girl lacks a father
Who told her she was worth enough
The guy didn't have a dad who taught him respect
The girl wants someone to love her
But the guys just there to rob her
The guy knows the right words his pro at persuasion
Little does the girl know
She's about to get bated
The guy uses her for her body
Some guys may not know it at the time
But that's why the stay for another chime
Then the guy realizes
He is her god
So he runs out of fear
He leaves her a psychotic mess
In her pretty prom dress
On the front steps
There she sits
Tossed away like dirt
Then comes the hurt
The girl fell in to far
And now she doesn't know how to get out
She fell into pain
And now all she has is rage
You see when he stole her heart and ran
He took all she had
For a temporary fix
Then comes another guy
The girl doesn't understand anymore
Why she still loves
The one who broke her heart
Then the cycle repeats
She keeps thinking
Maybe this ones different
Turns out
She was wrong
Then one day she's had enough
All she has is rage and pain
Because anything she ever had
Was broken
She doesn't have anything left to live for
So one day
She takes her fathers gun
Walks outside
She holds it to her head
Ready to be dead
Any second and she'll have what she wants
To end it all
Then without hesitation
The trigger is pulled

Life is one of the hardest races
It's like running in a high speed chase
Obstacles everywhere
Sometimes you get pushed to the ground
The track looks far and narrow
Full of obstacles that want you to turn back or better yet
Take the wide easy path that cuts through the course
The race of life is the hardest, fastest race you will ever run
Are you fast enough or strong enough
The truth is your not
You need the speed
You need the strength in your muscles that you just don't have
You need that passion for life
The passion only God can give
Those obstacles will try to take you down
You need to jump the highest hurtles
Dodge the largest rocks
Leap over the largest gorges
But I can't these athletic feats
With these feet
I need the strength
I need the speed
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
I can climb the highest mountains
Leap the deepest valleys
Are you ready for the race?

How long will it take for the human race to get it
Girls looking for love from boys who break their hearts
All because their father tore theirs apart
It's psychotic
Teens looking for love in all the wrong places
They find gods who fuel their depression
They look for love in that boy or that girl
It's funny because those same things tempt me
It's scary because people don't seem to understand that if a fire is hot
It means to get away
Don't draw closer
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing multiple times
And expecting the same result
People with broken hearts
What happens when one day
The weight of the depression becomes to great
Then the gun looks like such an easy way out
You just want to put it to your head and pull the trigger
Is that because their is no solution to your problem
Or maybe you just haven't found it yet
Chasing false gods is downfall of humanity
Are you going to join the insanity?
No pleasures of this world will ever solve your problem
If they become your god
They will bring farther down then you ever wanted to go
Humanity is the living definition of Insanity

Where do I start
I'm amazed that you gave me a part
A part in your universe
Everything that I see is just an apple in the cart
A grain of sand in the desert
When I look out into the stars
All I see are your wonders
And that's just a scratch on the surface

Many follow other gods
Gods of broken hearts
Shattered dreams
Drugs
Alcohol
That guy
That girl
The list never ends
I'm here to tell you it's all just a trend
A temporary covering of the real pain that just causes more pain
It leaves a nasty stain
I'm here to tell you it can be washed away
By the God of Love
Jesus loves you more than you could ever imagine
He loves you beyond understanding
What happens when those gods break you
Many turn into people full of hate and rage
Others are depressed and anxious
I know the God who loves where there is hate
He is the light in the dark
He puts back together what the world tears apart
False gods break hearts with pain
The true God breaks them with love
He's holding his hand out to you
So don't slap it away
Take it and experience love beyond the universe
His love is faster than you could ever run
His love stretches farther than galaxies
His grace is deeper than the deepest oceans
Jesus saves
Follow Jesus
It's the best decision you will ever make

I'm not enough
I don't have what it takes
I don't have the strength
I don't have the heart
I don't have the will power
I don't have the voice
That's what I was told for years by people who didn't really know me
They were right
I'm not enough
When it comes to the fight
I'm the first in flight
I'm weak and cowardly
I'm not enough
But some how God took this piece of nothingness
And used me to tell others about him
With God I have nothing
With God I have everything

If you could see
My filth ridden heart
You would only want to tear me apart
You see my outside
I look like I'm chill
And I've got everything under control
The truth is
I battle my heart constantly
I am the chief of sinners
In need of a savior
I fight pressures on all sides
When I jump into the fight all alone
I'm sent spinning
My strength just isn't enough to win
I begin to cave in because all these pressures are to much for me
But it's not about me
It's not my fight
It's a burden I was never meant to bear alone
It's the fight that was won two thousand years ago
I'm just feeling the aftershock
The truth is that I'm a sinner who is just a fool
But when Jesus came in my soul
I began to ignite
And God made one of his knights
This heart isn't mine it belongs to my King
Jesus Christ

The greatest form of Love
Unconditional Love
It soars like a dove
It serves with joy
It never takes or demands
It is perhaps the purest form of Love
It doesn't give in to anger
It does not expect anything
It only gives
It's the kind of Love a father has for his children
It disciplines out of love
Not anger
It is Love that never ends
It is Love that isn't earned
It is only given
Our world needs a little more of this Love
Our world needs more Agape
Less sin
More of Christ

Sit down now and let me tell you the truth
There's a place of danger
A place of fire
A place called Hell
Don't go there
You see there are two places after death
One is Heaven
One is Hell
Don't follow this world in to the flames of Hell
Follow Jesus into the arms of Heaven
You see this world is running head long into a fire hotter than this world has ever known
It burns hotter than molten stone
All I want to do is tell the world
You don't have to go there!
Follow the one who loves you
Some may say
If God loves me than why would he let me go to Hell
HE DID EVERYTHING TO SAVE YOU FROM HELL
He sent his son Jesus to die on the cross
He gave you a gift
Are you gonna take it or throw it away?
It's your call but I told you about how to be saved
From that eternal fire
I love you that's why I warn you
Jesus loves you
That's why he died for you
Please choose Jesus over Hell
Choose love over death

Everyday I hear about the pain in our world
I walk down the school halls and I think about the stories I've heard from those around me
I listen to the lives of others and my heart breaks
The one kid over there is broken on the inside because his
Mom just committed suicide
That other guy is dying of anxiety because others look at him and see a freak
I look into the eyes of the depressed and broken and all I can do is say you need Jesus
You need the God who made you
The girl over there who's buried her face in her screens is dead on the inside or she will be soon because her Dad didn't give her the love he should've so now she looked for it from another and he's just using her for her body
I hear these stories and collapse under the weight of sadness
You see these are people who lost the flame to live
They lost their reason for life and now they're fighting to live just because they made it this far
The problem is they haven't allowed themselves to be hit by lightning
The reason that I fight so hard to tell others about Jesus is because he broke me with love and when he struck me with lightning
It sparked a fire in my chest that I can't put out
Now I have the joy of life
I have a reason to live because Jesus broke the rules of death
He died for me and took my place in hell
He took my hell and gave me heaven
You see these people I meet everyday are dead with reason for life
It's your choice to live or die

The world has become a dangerous place
Kids chasing the latest trend but soon it will be their end
Chasing after money, fame and pleasure
But what happens when they find out
That these Idols have don't satisfy
That's when the depression and the pills and the anxiety set in
You see the world tells people not to think
Just be a good clone and climb the ladder
Chase after these Idols that's all that matters
Kids are told don't think on your own just do what your told
They don't think about what damage they can cause
They don't think about the true satisfaction
I hate this world
I hate the religions and the sins of this world
But I love the sinners
I love the religious
Why?
  Because I serve the friend of Sinners
I will tell the world that the ladder doesn't take you up
It only takes you back
I will tell the world of the real satisfaction and the real love
Jesus loves you and he died for you
He died for me
I just want to tell all the world that Jesus Christ is King
He's coming back some day because he didn't stay in the grave
He broke the rules of death so that we could have a chance
So you can take him and be holy as he is holy
The world will ask
Why would he do this for me?
Why would you tell me about him?
The answer is simple
Love
This world is a dying world full of people
People in need of Love
Love that never ends
Love that is patient and kind
Love that is unconditional
Love that will show you untold wonders
Don't stay with this suicidal society that doesn't even have the foggiest notion of love
Join with Jesus
He loves you more than you will ever know
So all I can say is
Take his love
Take his hand
And be holy as he is holy
Jesus loves you

It's easy to rejoice when there's nothing to bring me down
When you can't hear that sound
The sound of the world screaming it's coming after you
But I need to give thanks through the good and the bad
Easy or hard times
God gave me all I ever needed so no matter what I have no reason to not give thanks
To the one who holds the world in his hands
So today give thanks with a Grateful heart.

Father how do you claim me as your son
How can you clean every bad thing I've  done
Father you took me dead and made me life
You accepted me when others did not
You saw me broken and you called me son
I come before you as I am
***** and broken in need of a Savior
I call you Father but I don't feel worthy
King David wrote that the pure in heart would see you
But my heart needed a cure that you gave
I don't know if my heart will every be pure
I keep finding new sins
That you must cleanse
I feel that my heart is so ***** and wrong
But you revealed yourself to me
I have the privilege of seeing you work daily
Father you are my God
I will love You
I will follow You
I will obey You
For the rest of my life

The Devil tries to take me
I'm not my own to give
I was bought by the blood of the Lamb
This life is not my own It's Yours
Only Yours
The Devil tried to buy me
But you hide me in Your hands
You bought me so when the Devil tries to get me to sell out
I'll just tell him
This isn't my life so
I'm gonna tell you to shut it when you try to tempt me
Live sold out
It's the hardest but the best decision of your life

My God gave me a family
He gave me a  home
He gave me a job
He gave me a challenge
He gave me the tools
He gave me friends
He gave me supporters who built me up when others pushed me down
I was given a shot to live life like no other
God gave me a Mother
He gave me a Father
He gave me Brothers
All I ever want is to serve at my saviors feet
He gave me all I need
He helped me pull the weeds
I was given a message to give to the world
I wasn't ever made to stay on this earth
I was made to be with you someplace beyond outer space
In this world I feel so out of place
But I never needed to feel in place
You have a plan for me
You have given me a mission
You gave the light in the dark
You reached out when I was drowning
You have made me one of the Happiest people alive
Because I am blessed

I look around at this world
and turn in a whirl
People trying to pit blacks vs. whites
And the casualties of unborn babies have shot to new heights
But I'm not supposed to say that because it's all about women's
Rights and it's their bodies so that gives them a right to **** their kid
It makes me angry and want to get rid of abortion clinics
Then comes Gay rights where suicide rates skyrocket because of it
All this is the wind in a tornado
And I'm in the middle thinking when is all this Godlessness gonna come to a halt
But wait were to busy pointing out each others faults
Jesus said stop pointing out the speck in your brothers eye until
you pull the log out of your own
You see I was called to be a light in this world
But sometimes I taste the bite of the storm
Those waves tear me up when I think of my family in Christ that are being persecuted around the globe
But sometimes I have to stop and remember the one who created them
He loves them more then I ever could and I was called to love my enemies
So even though I'm torn inside I'm gonna shine this light
People will make me worn
But this is why I was born
To glorify my Savior and defend others who are worn
