Desperate

Within city limits we see bird's of prey.

Waiting for that which is made of dirt and clay.

We hold tight to this visual world. 

Instead of fighting with our given sword.

Evil abounds, due to our sleepy eyes.

The enemy seeks our demise. 

We sit in this daze of illusion.

Give place for the world's confusion.

It is time to fight for what is God's

Time to be moved from our standing sod.

To seek Him with truth everlasting.

To share Him with a people that are passing.

To not be cowardly, for our savior.

But speak boldly, that He can show His favor.

We were given a gift to share.

God's heart is that for the lost we care.

Let His love abound for those who need.

Holy Spirit we cry out, for our prayers interceed. 

Succeed

The battle is real these scares will heal

I sink deeper but rise stronger

There will be a day when hope is realized

There will be a moment to gain the prize

At this time , its time to fight to win and to not give in

Enough is enough and there is so much more

So much more to live and breathe for

I know the purpose, I've heard the call

So why am I so timid to give you all?

I know You are there and more real then my flesh

But still it wages upon my chest

I lay it down at your feet, then pick it back up and claim defeat

You've already broken these chains that bind

So why to I pick them up and make them mine

I want to feel you like I did then, I still know you wash this sin.

Rebellion and anger I let slip in my heart

So Father once again wash clean every part

Make a road for me to travel

One that can not unravel

Be the only substance I need 

To live this life and for you suceed

God Alone Is All

I've been lost and I've been broken
My words have been mis-spoken
But the truth will always be the same
So only this one thing may remain
That some may come and go from this place
But to see Your glory is to see your face
I want to lay all else aside
So that in You alone I confide
I've looked to others for the answers
Only to be disappointed and see disasters
Now You show me through signs I can't deny
That these tears are healing so to You I cry
Forgive me for my wondering ways
Help me and give me strength to make it through each day

The Fight

I reach and fall, try to find the way back up but there is nothing to grip, nothing at all. I cry out from the center of my being, wanting release, rid of suffering.  So bleak has hope become, it has taken me captive. I claw and scrape...to be rid of this fate. This battle is not over, but over it I will come. I will be one made stronger by the scares left behind, I will not give in nor will I hide. And from the weakest of points my strength will come, cause no I will not forget where I have come from.

Repentence

Dreaming often seems like a dare
The grass is greener, look across and compare
We have a craving for success
But open those eyes...we digress
Distracted by our own pride
Fear of rejection, is consistently spiritual suicide
A diagnosis of our hearts true intents
What happened to wisdom, where went common sense
We are Babylon and we will fall
If you've heard the message, then you've received the call
To believe that Jesus is the Son of God, Holy and Risen
How selfish a people, to hold back from the One who became crimson
He, who laid down His life physically
We, should cry out Father take all of me!
Love for Christ who loved us first
He's known us since before birth
A purpose received, felt from the inside out
To walk in trust, and relationship, believe and never doubt
Feel the tug on your heart, a nudging that it is true
The Holy Spirit is calling you
Set aside everything, you know He's leading
He draws closer the more you are seeking

Shattered Glass

He holds the shattered glass
A broken and empty past
Life seen with a new perspective
To open eyes, that were deceptive
Pushed till anger was all that was left
Sunken, rejected, all hope bereft
He takes this shell of an individual
And recreates to make someone so beautiful
Clay that was formless and heavy
To be made light and ready
Open to a love of truth and anticipation
All given from a Savior, who for you has the utmost adoration
Ready to take us in, from a feeble existence
Create us into a people of brilliance
To be shown for His glory due
That other's may see too
The way of our Lord is to great to be kept secret
He builds you up so that you must speak it
He holds the shattered glass
Places it back together, for eternity to last
