On My Knees

Slammed to my knees again
I can't get up
This weight that I bear
Its digging me a grave
I can't fight it alone
So I'll cry out for help
God I'm down again
I hope you can hear me
Please take away this weight
Blow away my sins
I can't stand to see
This person who
Falls into temptation
Father hear my pleas
Let me free
Break these chains tonight
For one last time

Love in the Rain

Its raining outside
Don't make me go out
I dread being wet
But to dance in the rain
Hold on to the one you love
Kiss them softly
Tell them you love them
Don't you want that
What do you have to dread
My love is not out there
My love does not like the rain
How do you know
Have you ever ask
Of course not
Who actually likes the rain
Go away bug me not about the rain
Well I think you should do it
I bet you'll learn something
Take my hand
Lets go dancing in the rain
You and I together
I'll hold you close
Keep you as dry as I can
I'll whisper I love you
As much as I can
Come dance with me
We can love in the rain

Will You Marry Me

Singing just to hear the words
Songs I've created
Just for you
A lullaby in my head
As we dance the night away
Hands in hands
In circles we sway
To a simple song
Written about love
Leaning on my shoulder
I feel you relax
I love you I whisper
Will you marry me

Done

We dream tonight
Of life just right
But when we wake
Life is at stake
It doesn't seem to matter
Because life's not served on a silver platter
So take a moment
Without any movement
To thank the one
Who said it was done

Without

Without a word
Tell me love
Without a note
Play me worship
Without any contact
Show me forgiveness
Without moving at all
Express how you feel
Without me
Show me you
Without God
Show me mercy
You can't do any of this
So open your mouth
Spread out your arms
Show the love of Christ

Deep Inside

Can't you feel it
Deep inside
The burning passion
Screaming out for Christ
Every time you lift up your hands
You sing praises
To the Heavenly Father
Doesn't the music
Make you yearn
For the day
That Christ returns

Praises to Our King

Meet me in the morning
Underneath the old oak tree
We'll all gather round
Lift up our voices
Sing praises to our King
Lord most High
We glorify You
Our song comes from the Lord
He blesses us with words
Our voices joined in harmony
Bringing praises to our King

In All That I Do

To the one who created the sky
I write this poem
To the one who spoke life into existence
I write my praises
To You oh God
I could worship forever
All of my days
Write of glory to Your holy Name
I give You thanks
For the gifts You have given me
I ask that You'd bless me even more
That my words be pleasing to You
Father that my heart would chase after Yours
In all that I do
I worship You

God is Love

The Lord is my Savior
I trust in Him always
When my fear is Him
I fear nothing more
When my love is His
Nothing can surpass
When I do wrong
He doesn't abandon
When I try to go my way
He simply waits for my return
God is love
He shall forever be
In Him my faith is found

Listen

Its the sounds all around
Can't you hear them
They whisper their stories
Each one is different
Each one is full
Take the time
Be still and listen
You might even learn
The secrets of this world
Just sit back and listen

Going For Two

So you thought I'd forget
To write number two
But this one here
Is just for you
I can write a new one
With just a simple thought
Just say a word
And I'll be bought
Phrases and songs
Go hand in hand
with every word I type
On this I can stand
Don't try to stump me
I'll write my way out
No matter the predicament
I'll lift up a shout
I'm going for number two

Prayer in the Night

In the still of the night
I cry out to You
My voice seems so meek
My tears unending
Can't You see my pain tonight
I'm hurting inside
I just want to scream
Turn and run forever
But I know You are there
And I know that You love me
So just hold me tonight
Let me know that I am ok
I can't turn from You
Because You won't turn from me
My heart is seeking Yours
And my arms are reaching for You

Bring Back

Bring back the memories
Of days perfected
Bring back the memories
Of creation unaffected
Lose all inhibition
Lose all sadness
Cling to Father
Let go of madness
Sing out in worship
Bring back the praise
Open up a book
Forgotten in these days
Feel all the love
God poured out us

God Alone

I worry not
When the weight of the world
Bares down upon my shoulders
I lean not on my own understanding
For I know God
He will lead me
I will be
His faithful servant
I will not fear
When I walk through the valley
The shadows of death
I do not tremble before
God alone do I fear
God alone do I love
God alone shall take care of me
God alone is there

Falling Star

So its been a super long time since I've actually blogged with my poetry, and I've been doing a lot of thinking in classes and my day to day activities. I've been having a hard time focusing on class work and studies. All I want is to get into what God is calling me to do. I want to dive into ministry studies so that I can get out into the world and really show who God is. But all this thinking has lead me to begin writing poems in class which makes my life easier at night because then I don't have to sit here and try and think something up. So here is the poem based a drawing of a shooting star.

When you wish upon a falling star
Your dreams go up in flames
As it crashes to the earth
It tears apart the ground
Your dreams go unheard
Never really known
So when you wish upon a star
Be sure to understand
Someone may want to know
Where your dreams
Are taking you
Wishing to be
The answer to your dreams
So don't be afraid
To let people in
Because you never know
Who may make
Your dreams come true

God Is Love

Look to the Heavens
See the glory of the Lord
Fall in love with the Maker
Who chose your every step
Lift your voices up
Speak love into this world
Raise up your arms
Worship the Lord
Show the world
Christ in you
Spread the love of God
Let every word
Bless someone
Let every song
Glorify the King
God is our Victor
God is our salvation
God is our love

Worship

We're worshiping
With songs of praise
We're singing the old songs again
We raise our hands
To the King above
Reaching up
Til our arms give out
God Almighty
Hear our voices
As we lift up this night
And give it to you
We pour out our hearts
Into every word we sing
Father hear and be glorified
Father we worship you

The Truth

You've lead me to believe
That You are
The way the truth and the life
I don't yet understand
The reality of truth
Lord show me
What You mean by truth
So that I may follow You

In Prayer

I need you God
You are my light
You know my path
You put before me
All that I do
You knew beforehand
Father lead me
To do your work
Father bless me
To be Your hands and feet
Father teach me
So I may teach others
Father love me
So that I may love others
Father direct my feet
Guide my eyes
Keep me from the evils
This world has accepted
Father hear me

Shepard

I give my life to You
God of Heaven and earth
In all I do
God I give to you
My life a sacrifice
Holy are You
To send down Your son
To die for my sins
To show mercy and love
God I will follow
All that You say
I will be Your servant
I will be your Shepard

Don't Look Back

I can't begin to say
How long its been this time
All the lies and fairy tales
Just to keep me around
When all this time
You didn't care
All you think about it you
And ruin what was left of us
This is the point of no return
You better make sure your bags are packed
Once you leave
I won't look back
I won't shed a tear
You're presence no longer here
I gave it my all
You stomped on it all
I won't let you see
Any emotion left in me
You've broken my heart
One time to many
I have no sympathy for you
When you learn further down the road
That you had it all with me
And now you can't have it back

Touch

I'm reaching out
Grasping for your touch
You aren't in reach
And you fade away
I wake up sobbing
Its the same dream
Night after night
I just want to hold you
But you are so far away
I need to touch you
To know that you are there
In my arms
Safe and sound
Knowing that I love you
Knowing I won't ever let go

It's Up to You

I can't begin to feel your pain
I'm not able to understand
I won't lie to make you feel good
I'll be as honest as I can
I'll be your guide
As long as you ask
Just say when
And I'll let go
It's all up to you
I'll never push to hard
I won't control your path
I'll just stand on by
And let you come to me
When you crash and burn
My arms will be open
You can run back any time
Know child that I love you
I want you to seek comfort
In my warm embrace
Know that you are loved
Know that you are mine

Lord, Why

Down upon my knees
Crying out to the Lord above
Can't you see
I'm dying inside
Can't you see these sins in me
How could you love
A wretch like me
I can't understand
Why you would die for me
Why do you love me
I'm so full of sin
I'm not even close to perfect
How can you love me
I'm drowning in my sins
Yet you look right through
Its like you see
Another side of me
One clean and pure
One more in your image
Is that why you love me
Because you can see past my sin
Lord I'm crying out to you
Tell me why

Wide Awake

Another night
I'm wide awake
I'm thinking of you
Can't get you off my mind
I miss you too much
It's driving me mad
I can't sleep
Without you by my side
Baby I can't dream
Without seeing your face
Every night I need to hear
Your voice whisper quietly in my ear
Baby I love you
Sweet dreams and good night

Restored

Bring me back to life
The one before the fall
When Adam and Eve
Walked in the garden
Side by side with You
Before Satan appeared
When all was perfect
And the fruit of the tree of Knowledge untouched
When they saw you face to face
When sin was unheard of
Life a harmony
Nothing was broken
I want to live that life
Father with You
I want to live
In Your kingdom
Restored

Lost Lovers

You and I are meant to be
Lost lovers forever
Constantly searching
Until the end of time
Never seeing
Whats right before our eyes
The love we share
Missed by the rushing clock
Separated through space and time
Until your heart
Combines with mine
