Your friends were floored
When you found the Lord
Changing your way of life

Yet they saw in you
Something new
Different as day and night

Though every now and then
You dip your toes in
The muddy waters of the mainstream

But that's okay
It's not like you dip every day
Anyways it's only up to your knees

"Just because you're a Christian
doesn't mean you have a license to sin"

You grew up in church
Where the lessons you learned
Were all grilled into your head

Barely leaving a mark
Upon your heart
To be nurtured and Godly fed

Although you know Jesus
There's a consensus
You're still a babe in the faith

Eating soft food and milk
Not sure you ever will
Taste the true goodness that is The Way

"Just because you've been forgiven
doesn't mean you have a license to sin"

You do everything right
Know all the Christian sound bites
Pray sometimes when you get the chance

Don't drink or smoke
Know that dope is for dopes
And wouldn't dare dance if given the chance

You see the world in its mess
And so thankful you're His
And with the good as gone you don't associate

You dabble in love
Hoping that it's enough
While in your heart you still hold hate

"Just because you're a Christian
doesn't mean you have a license to sin"

He finds himself standing there
Arms helplessly outstretched
A desperate plea to those who see
With nothing he calls his own

He makes eye contact shamefully
To those that pass him by
He tries to speak words
But is surrounded in silence

Excuse me sir-he hopelessly think
Can you spare a dime?
But these thoughts never leaves
his tired mind

A man to his right
Whistles as he walks by
Hey homeless,he cries
Get a job and stop whining

He pretends he cant hear him-
As the passerby starts to smile
You got yourself in this
Now homeless get a life!

His feet are swollen
From aimlessly standing all day
He tries to walk
But his legs dont comply

He hears laughter from the passerby
As he turn to face the sun
Inside his soul is aching
Yet its another day only begun

As the day race on
He finds more people walking by
As if they try to hide
The fact that hes  there

Excuse me madam
Can you help me please?
But the tears in his eyes
Is not enough to convince

She picks up her pace
As she hurries on by
Not today,she yells
And then turns out of sight

He finds himself standing there
Lord,how did i let this be?
Is there still hope,he wonders
Alone and Tearily
Would death bring freedom
From this misery?
Is there nothing oh Lord
You can do...

The sun starts to set in the sky
Soon it will become night
And as the cold wind picks his face
He knows the streets he will pace

And within his eye
He sees a darkness passing by
Its just another day leaving
Yet another plea dying in plain sight

Its the unfairness of Life....

If God were to grant wishes
What would yours be?
If God granted your dreams
Would you then be free?
What would you ask of Him
What would your heart desire?
Would your life be better
If you got your souls require?
And think of this:
Would you still need God
After your desire is fulfilled
And youve received all you wanted
Would you be just thrilled?
I honestly tell you
This is not how He works
For instead of being overlooked
He gives you what you need
Not what you thought He should
For then He looks after you
And you get what is good
For what you want
Seldom is what you realy need
But what He gives you instead
Is the best you will get
And this is the truth
If God ever do

blythe
When you feel the weight of the world in your shoulders
When tears running down your face
Remember me, your Father in heaven,
I will always be here for you.

You'll never be alone
Reach out for my hand
I'll carry your burdens
So throw your worries away.

Surrender all to me
All is well, you'll see
I've got you covered -
You are safe with Me.

When everything around you seems to go wrong
And you already do no know what to do
Rely to Me, you Father in heaven,
I will always be here for you.
We have a heavenly Father who is always with us. No matter what. Hold on to Him.

When the last here on Earth hears the word
The skies will part as they give way
Ushering in the coming of the Lord
That's the day we all shall change

All darkness then will disappear
As the Mighty Lord gathers up his Saints
Where we shall meet eternity clear
As Heaven shouts out Jesus' name

As those asleep pour forth from their graves
Oh darkened death where now is your sting
The Bride of Christ shall mark this day
Bowing down before her King

Father, Son, Holy Ghost, and Heavenly Host
Will welcome in those with no more sin
Where we now stand on that hope
Then face to face to be with Him

We all shall meet on that Heavenly shore
With tears dried in the coming tide
Peace, love, joy ours forevermore
As we arrive in the Sweet By-and-By

When the last here on Earth hears the word
We'll also hear God say open wide the gates
Where all shall be free in one accord
As we all change in Jesus' name

Passionate about the Lord.
She asked of Him for more.
A passion so daunting.
More of a need
not a wanting.

She prayed every night
for her lucent light.
Shining like a vivid gloss,
thanking Him so promptly
for carrying such a heavy cross.

She testified her beauty in a pure way,
appreciating God's beauty every day.
She knows God can beautify,
She knows He is beautiful,
then so am I.

Death is nothing to fear
It is but a step into Eternal sphere
It is a new beginnin as an End
draws near
It is the continuating of Life ever more
It is the opening onto a closed door
Death is purpose as to Life is for

Leaving but this mortal stance
Death is merely Life's new dance
In a realm of peace and a new chance
Finding the answer to hidden alms

Death is nothing to fear
As a new day borns a days end near
Simply but the entrance to new years
That is waiting in anticipation clear
Death itself holds no fear

May your Heart take courage
And your Soul
Eternal peace
The fear itself is not of death but the hidden uncertainty of Eternal life
