Can the lost ever truly be found?
How long lasts the holy ground?
When does it end and where to begin?
Are we freed indeed, or do we need
To keep ourselves to our deed to leap?
Well how would we, when we all seep?
Is it truly up to us, to keep us from a cusp?
Will we all just rust, if we’re not keeping up?
See, the thing is, I haven’t been taking time away to focus on God and spend time with Him. That’s how I lose my peace
Gabriel Bonney Sep 2019
I just wanna see a day of decay go away
And when I close my eyes I’ll see the prize
Instead of the eyes, I won’t have to try
And another day of grace will come my way
Gabriel Bonney Sep 2019
I feel like a disgrace to the human race
But wait, they don’t grace the face me
Don’t play with the taste of me
Stay if you wanna say with me
The things the world won’t dare to speak
Both our demons and our society
The singing they keep off our tongue
The things they don’t want
Because they know if we sung
There would be new under the sun
Gabriel Bonney Sep 2019
Verse 1
It takes a lot to not let a thought get rotten
Stepping into the distorting fortress and worship of conforming
It’s hard to not get caught, or get across what I sought
A believer believing the lies of the deceiver
Under siege of the one who heaves
Can you believe that? Can you believe him?
Is it possible to be a man after God’s own heart?
But if you read David’s part, it can still be hard
Doubt leading to seasons of spiritual amnesia
I wish I could shake this state but I’d like to take it
Called to become the Son except I worship the sun
But Jesus is in the boat with you and me
And holds the power to calm the sea
Then why doesn’t He?
Believe me please, it’s for a reason
I hope you’ll see, it’s just a season
If you begin to believe in the God who’s breathing
Listen for the whisper louder than the screams
I know it’s hard that we can’t fully conceive
But faith is in things we can’t see
And if we could see our will wouldn’t be free
Wait to hear how I’ve come to stand
Jesus is here so take His hand

Break
I don’t know why, I ignore what’s high
But He came to die, for the things I cry
Not all will fly but I will try
To point your eyes up toward the sky

So why do I cry when the light’s suppose to take my life?
Then why would I die if it seems so unsatisfying?

Verse 2
I see how seemingly lame it is
But what a radical change there is
For it won’t always be a distant engagement
We can find contentment in His tent
Trails and temptations but not worn and un-torn as the storm rages
This is the hope you’ll find within His pages
So get out of your cage and up from your basement
For the latent call will then be blatant
That His Word says He has overcome this world
Why would I try and it be a lie
If He cried before He even died
Pray where you are, not where you think your should be
He wants you further along where you belong
But He won’t leave, He meets us where we are
Don’t shoulder this alone—take our community
Notice the laments don’t end with despair
He is here but He won’t leave you there
The wrong can seem like it’s winning
So take the hand that we’re lending
This outlet to let it all out
Sing with me if you know what I’m talking about
See that we have peace in the tribulations
For He has taken our death and gifted salvation
He’s not asking for you to come before in perfection
Come here to take off your mask
Come with me and we’ll face this task
Because I can look like I have it all figured out
Running through this race in only one pace
But if you graze what’s behind my face you’ll see all this doubt
Built up inside so let it all out
For God has not forgot about us
It’s here, the land of our possession
So will you take it?—that’s the question
Gabriel Bonney Sep 2019
You say You’ve died for my sins
But is it a sin when my thoughts begin
To bend in the wind, and then
I’m feeling all my demons again?
Is it that I’m denying the truth?
Is it my fault that I’m haunted by rues?
I know that You will not lose
Just why does this have to be my cruise?
I worship but still I feel so lonely
Is this something You’re showing me?
When I get close, I’m struck with apathy
Overwhelmed with emotions attacking me
Gabriel Bonney Sep 2019
My flight suit, is full-proof
I jump in, no regret when
My armor, is stronger, don’t bother
The Father, is all that, I garner
Only He, can get me, father

Stay close to me, flight suit
I say when I don’t want You
I’ll take a step off, wearing my armor
I keep it tight, bound to the light
As I’m falling, into His calling

So easy to slip off, I tip off
I trip and skip down the lip
And I’m falling to the earth
Oh God, this is gonna hurt
But He still supplies my lift
Gabriel Bonney Sep 2019
These are my confessions, find rest in them
Deep thinking, I hope you see, and meeting
The God that gave you your brain
And now things shouldn’t be the same
Now that you know your Creator has made
And your death in debts has been paid
You can speak freely to your Father
And talk to Him about the things that bother
And I’m sure your questions will be answered
When you give your heart over to be prepared
