Do the good you can
wherever you go,
shine a light
like a beacon
of hope.
Listen to the voices that speak faith
not fear.
Take whatever is given unto you,
let it bless everyone's atmosphere.
And where your darkest battles have happened.
Where your faith once fell short.
Will become the place of gladness,
where waves of Joy crash upon the shores.
You can shine upon your brother's sadness
and bring him with you to the Lord.
May our God make impossible things happen.
Of this I am sure.
Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed
Thomas EG Apr 2015
Amen...
A word used at the end of prayer
Meaning "we agree"
So why say it in harmony
If you don't even believe?

"I won't pray, but I'll close my eyes and say amen"
No, just close your eyes

Respect us
But don't lie

You can't agree that we are going to Heaven
If you don't believe in Heaven in the first place

"I don't believe in God"
Fair enough

"I don't care if I go to Hell"
But you don't believe in Hell, do you?

"I hate God"
No, no, no, you hate the concept of God, you don't even believe in him!

"I wanna fight Jesus"
Aw, come on, that's just disrespectful...

Regardless of whether or not God is real, he loves, or would love, you...

"Jesus sounds like a good guy..."
**Amen.
I've had this saved on here as a draft for ages... Believing in God has kind of turned into a joke to a lot of people over the past few years, so I didn't want people to laugh at this, but hey... This is just what I've been feeling as of late.

I'm too blessed
And too favored right now
To be in my bed
And not in a jail cell
The Lord heard my plea
He heard my cry
It was remarkable
It could've been more than a ticket
It could've been a mugshot
All over the internet
I could've been in handcuffs
But The Lord saved me
They said they wouldn't tell my job
Cause The Lord saved me
The Lord said that this night will not hender my chances to be someone
And my job on this earth is not over yet
And that I need to cleanse
I need to be clean for a while
I need to be careful for a while
I have to be sensible for a while
Open up my mind to a new found sobriety
I am lost and now I'm starting to see
That everything starts with a dream
Don't ever stop believing
In Jesus name I pray
Amen
When you get into trouble it really puts things into perspective about what you should be thankful for

Let's get drunk off cheap wine.
Make out under the stars.
Feelin' spiritual tonight.
Hallelujah, amen.

I worship the taste of my lover.
Soak up the sweat from his skin.
Feelin' spiritual tonight.
Hallelujah, amen.

Singing praises that sound like moans.
Sighing his name, scarring his back.
Feelin' spiritual tonight.
Hallelujah, amen.

Laying claim to the blessings.
Anointed by hot breath.
Feelin' spiritual tonight.
Hallelujah, amen.

Some would call this sin.
Some would condemn, but I'm
Feelin' spiritual tonight.
Hallelujah, amen.
The sun rises and looks
To my west for rest
Mama waters the garden
Anticipating youth to bloom
A microcosm of sadness

The ground is filled with memories rotting
A worm finds it's tapered end
A cycle completes

It is finished, he exclaims
Silence. So be it.

Pray for me,
God knows I need your prayers.
Amen.
Wish better on me,
God knows I'm beat down by naysayers.
Amen.
Eyes and hearts so vacant,
Starlet-smile empty shells.
Amen.
Easy words, complacent.
Open lips and full-up hells.
Amen.
Amen.
God is love, take me to church.
He knows I need something in my heart.
Hallelujah.
Accept me, catch me in this downward lurch.
God save the poor broken thing, this heart.
Hallelujah.
God is light, take me to church,
Darkness never scared me this much.
Hallelujah.
Please, don't hurt me, aide this search.
I can't think over the loudness, it's too much.
Hallelujah.
**Hallelujah.

Close your eyes

Breathe in

This isn't the worst you've been in

Breathe out

Stop wandering about

Let go

I know

It's hard

God chooses the best

forget the rest
forget, and rest
Dear Lord, i say aloud this prayer
In hopes that you will save me from dispair
Give me light to lead the way
Love me for me, day after day
Give me strength to rise above the rest
With you by my side, i know i am blessed
From dark to light, and day to night
I pray your path will stay in sight
Birthday wishes and shining stars
Never get me really far
Its the praying and hoping every night
That helps me get through the never ending fight
With all that i am, i know you are my all
With your hand in mine, i know i wont fall
Keep my heart, my mind, and my eyes wide open
So i never cease to worship you. Amen
That fragile cry
Those tiny hands
Such a small body, such big pain.
That tiny heart that pumps much too hard,
That tiny heart was pierced much too young.

So close to death,
So close to life,
So in between,
It isn’t right.

Will they hear the pitter-patter
        of little feet running?
Will they hear the softest of cries
        so early in the morning?
Will she grow and become strong?
Will she go, and leave us so young?

Too young to fight,
Too young to give up,
Too young to die,
Too young to live.

Little Abigail, close your eyes
        you will not have to fight.
Mommy has you in her hands
       everything will be alright.
Grow big and strong in the Lord
       for you are meant for so much more.

Little Abigail, close your eyes, and sleep.
From you I want to hear not a peep.
Rest now and later we shall see.
The running, the growing, of your little feet.

Abigail Madison Elise Nevitt,
              AMEN is cried out for you.
AMEN, the name given to you.
Borne on Good Friday,
               she came home on Easter.
God bless that little heart,
              she was blessed from the very start.
