Mercy Is My Cup

Image
 You are my Yea Lord. You are my Amen. For everything I am in need of, You are the one I look to. Early in the morning, just as the sun is rising, I seek your help to show me where to go. For in your hands I surrender all. In You, there is an answer to my call. Where else can I go, but to You Lord. You are the supplier of ALL my needs. I find nothing else but favour, every second, every hour. Is it any wonder that I choose You. I would rather have You, than I would any other. I would rather have You, than air to breathe. I would rather hold your hand, than step out in a distant land. I would rather cry, than make You sad. I know at times I make a mess. I know at times I fail.  I know at times I go my way. I know at times I pray. Yet through the failures, tears and shame. Your mercy is my cup. And in your loving hands I feel. The grace you have for me.

Wistful Things

Image
 When I am afraid of what is before me, I seek your guidance Lord. For I know that every challenge I will overcome. Where my journey starts to shake as I step out in my faith, your stretched out hand I reach for all the way. As I cross the path of trials in my purpose to succeed. I open wide my heart and thus, you fill my cup with Grace. As I dream of wistful things, I cast my cares on you. For in your care I know you are, more than just my due. I look to you for all I need, because you are my source. While others start to run and fail, you help me stay on course. My faith in you at times is weak, but yet I rise and seek. The counsel of my yearning gate, oh Lord, my love and mate. As night draws near, I taste and see, the goodness of your love. For once upon a time I fell and broke my coupled dove. So take me as far as I can go and watch me through the vail. For you have left a legacy, with marks along the trail. If for a moment time stands still, so I can find my way. Know oh Lord...

A Hello

Image
 My heart knows the taste of your presence in every ounce of darkness. My eyes see you when no one is around. In the midst of a thousand generations, I hear the sound of your voice calling out my name. I am blessed and highly favoured only because of you Lord. Only because of You. In my weakness, you are my strength. In my loneliness, you are my comfort. When my back is against the wall, I lean only on you. Where others fail to know who you are, YOU are revealed to me. I am wanted in your kingdom. I am grateful for your love. In the morning when I wake up, I call out to you a hello. I surrender my day and my heartbeat to you, because without you, I can do nothing. Where you lead me, I will follow. Where you take me, I will go. Courage never fails me, because you are my source. Where freedom reigns, you are there, because the Cross is my happily ever after.

Merry Well

Image
 Carry me away from this world of hurt and despair, like a fleet of ships sailing upon waters far to know. Beyond the crystal river, by your side I long to stand. Let me see the sparkles of the twinkling lights in heaven, as I gracefully move with steps ordained by only YOU. Take me to a place where no more tears be shed. That my eyes may not cry nor my heart ever break. Till the memory of earth once bestowed inside my soul, slip away. And the fears of my journey cross I bear. Keep the cares of my worth beyond shadows stored in groves. Harnessed threads, thistles towed, all to know where my SAVIOUR  goes. Far away might I see, all the treasures kept for me. Made by hands that were told so to do. Merry well oh my soul. Come to me, my travelling doe. I have done that which I was sent to do. Fare thee well, may perhaps, what you lack, to you be filled. Carry me. Carry me. Till eternity rings. On toward my pure faith, evermore oh God I trust. I have lived. I have loved. I have be...

Hurry Now

Image
 The door is open, come on in. Hurry now and flee from sin. Do not let tomorrow come. Too late, too late and see you glum. Do not be a fan to the world. For love of things will make you swirl. Heed the call of God's own voice. And seal your faith so you rejoice. Sins of this world might last a day. To make you rich so you will enjoy your stay. Little do you know my dear. There's a cost of rejecting the Lord's own care. Do not tarry, do not stray. Hustle now without delay. Soon the trumpet will be heard. For the ones who ate HIS word. I pray with all my heart for you. To come inside the ark anew. For closing time will soon be here. Don't stay behind and God is not there.

I Humbly Yield

Image
 I watch you as you walk away. I wonder why you do not stay. I feel my tears run down my face. And I ache inside yet full of Grace. I gave my love and all I had. Still you rejected it and made me feel sad. I wondered why the tide had turned. To break my heart and thus it churned. As everyday goes slowly by. A little more I deeply sigh. I thought my dreams came through at last. I didn't know it was out of my grasp. As the sun shine bright today. I pray that you will find your way. For though I ache with so much pain. I long for perfect love, you gain. With time I know my heart will heal. But for now, I humbly yield. I will rise and overcome. To taste and see where God brought me from.

Hear The Call Of Fear

Image
 Make time to spend with those you love. Find out what matters and be gentle as a dove. So many people are fighting wars inside of them. Now is the time to sever Satan's deathly stem. Open wide your arms of love. So that hope can be surrounded on the ones who came from above. Little do you know my dear, how softly depression comes in. Until it pierces your heart and cuts like a knife. And you wish you could go back and undo everything. Hear the call of heartbreak. Hear the call of fear. Take the time to listen and read between the lines. Someone is crying. Someone is dying. Someone is pleading. Someone is broken. Someone is lost. Someone is alone. Look beyond the natural and see with eyes of hope. Lend a helping hand today and show Someone how to cope. You may be the thread they hold. While falling by the way. So look out for the ones in need and pray that life will stay.

Angel Bright

Image
 Angel bright please come tonight. Lift my vail and shine your light. Look upon my house and see. If hate and unkind words must flee. At times I feel so all alone. My back it hurts right through the bone. I wish for joy and smile to stay. So tears will stop without delay. I'm tired of the constant sword. That comes with might to bring discord. Just once I pray for hope and faith. To take me where there is no hate. Oh angel of my heartbeat hear. The words I whisper in your ear. For crumbs I have to give in kind. If you would break the chains that bind. As I watch with eyes of hope. I know your strength will make me cope. For in your hand you hold the key. To clear the path so I will be free.

Make Haste Today

Image
 Why don't you love me anymore? I was there to hold your hand so many times before. I give you strength when you are weak. Now my face you do not seek. When did I ever let you fall? My ears are open and I answer your every call. Where did you go? Who are you with? Is it so much better there, where you now sit? I give to you my Son and Shield. I hope each day that you would yield. I long to have you run to me. To break the chains and set you free. My time for you to turn to me. Will soon become like the waves in the sea. Rolling tide as it hits the shore. Will someday close the door. Come now my friend, the ark is here. I want you close, without shedding a tear. Make haste today, before I go. For judgment is coming. You will reap what you sow.

There Is Hope

Image
 We take so much for granted as we go through life's journey. The air we breathe. The ground we walk on. The people who surrounds us. Nothing is to be taken for granted, because in a heartbeat it can all be taken away. We sleep... we get up... we laugh... we cry. We bicker... we gossip... we hate... we slander. We promote division and separation because we think we are better than everyone else. I am not better than you. You are not better than me. We all need each other. There is one tree... JESUS. We are the branches attached to the tree. We are the ones who are supposed to elevate and encourage those around us. We are the ones whose light is supposed to shine brighter than the rest. We are the ones who are supposed to bear the infirmities of those who are weak. How are we supposed to be a blessing to others, when we are not a blessing to our own selves? Stop promoting hate. Stop promoting division. Stop using words to destroy and weaken others. One person alone have power and au...

The Armies Of The Lord

Image
 They may murder you with their words that shoot like arrows into your heart. Piercing deep within the life of hope and love. That connects faith and trust and determines who you are. In their strive to see you fall and fail and stay down, their thoughts of evil against you is manifested... by their fruits. They do not know who you are and who you belong to. They have eyes that cannot see and ears that cannot hear. They do not comprehend the connection between you and the God you serve. Those who stratergize and are contracted by the enemy of God to dig a pit for you to fall into, is ultimately digging it for themselves.  Who God blesses, no man can curse. What the devil meant for bad, God will turn it into something good. You will laugh in the midst of adversity. You will continuously arise and be more than a conqueror. You will always be protected and preserved by the armies of the Lord. 

Tomorrow's Joys

Image
 I love you more than words can ever say. And I bow my knees and lift you up in prayer everyday. Within my heart, I hear your voice. In bed at night, I do rejoice. Your kiss I taste upon my lips. And in your arms, there is perfect bliss. The words you whisper in my ear. Fills my heart with love, my dear. Where you are is home to me. For I know my fears will flee. Deep within my soul my love. You fit me just like a glove. Come now my heartbeat, that you are. You will always be my shining star. Where you lead me, I will go. To tomorrow's joys, I have yet to know.

Watch And Pray

Image
 If you make a choice to follow the wrong crowd, know that your choices have consequences. You can so easily be influenced to do what is not right simply by surrounding yourself with people, whose deepest desire is to lead you on a path of destruction and death. Many times you might hear of stories being told about someone who died as a result of being involved in a gang..... of a deep desire to fit in and be a part of a company whose sole purpose is to shoot, rob, kill, maim, steal or fight.  There are always long term repercussions and consequences pertaining to the choices you make and the company you keep. Not because someone talks to you or laugh with you or befriend you, means that you are to be held in high esteem to that individual. Not everyone who surrounds you is a friend. There are so many wolves in sheep's clothing.  In this day. In this hour. In this season, you need to open your eyes and see what is taking place around you. You need to educate yourself in t...

Within My Soul

Image
 Why do you love me? Why do think that I am worthy of your love? Where is it written that my heartbeat is better than someone else's or my eyes can see only beauty?  Do you look beyond my outer core and see the woman I am on the inside? Do you see the ME that no one else can see? Do you see the tears behind the smile or the scars upon my back?  I am grateful for your love. I am grateful for your affection. But if what you have to give to me is only able to beautify the outside, then please.... offer it to someone else. Someone who might be more inclined and interested in getting half a loaf. I am not bound to accept.. nothing... when I am worth so much more. I deserve the best. I deserve a love that is unconditional and beyond my wildest imagination. I will not settle for anything less. While there are moments of weakness, perhaps you convey a chance of hope. A chance of belonging. But t here are no longer chariots of fire hungering for understanding or communication with...

Deep Valleys

Image
 I remembered you today. I remembered your smile and your presence as I walked by your side. The way you held my hand and how you taught me to stand. My purpose being fulfilled, is being the woman you taught me to be. With words you inspired and strengthened me when I needed inner comfort and encouragement to go on.  All that I am today, is because of you.  You have been faithful. You have been kind. You have sown seeds that grew into trees, bearing fruits to make a difference in others. My thoughts of you have kept me from running into nothing. My fears are no longer my covering in the darkness. The lessons you have taught me are what gives me my ambition. I know that you are always with me wheresoever I go, because your love is wrapped up inside my heart. You live as a constant presence of hope to me. I know time carries us through mountain tops and deep valleys. But because of you, I have faith in all things. You are my inner being shining through as I travel through ...

At Your Convenience

Image
 I am not a thing to be used at your convenience.  You don't greet me, you don't meet me, you don't say hello. When you see me, you ignore me and your back is what I see. Yet in your haste to uphold your image. You message me to ask for my money. I wish just once you can open your eyes and see ME. A woman... a sister... a friend. Not someone you call when you have a need. To dip in my purse and sow a seed.

The Master's Plan

Image
 I got the news that you were gone. As I stood alone, all broken and torn. I felt my world came crashing down. And I did not know, it would have me bound. You left without a goodbye to me. Your last smile I did not see. My heart was shattered with so much pain. And I ached to see you alive again. I wandered to and fro from fear. Because I could not hold you dear. I wept with grief and so much need. For thorns were pricking me like weed. I remember days of long ago. When you would hold my hand and go. To dusty roads upon the hills. Just so I could get a thrill. The words you spoke to bless my soul. I know that it will never grow old. For surrounding me forevermore. Will be your heartbeat at my door. On days when I am weary and weak. I dip in my memory and your love I seek. And though you travel to another land. We'll meet someday because it is the Master's plan.

Fields Of Gray

Image
 I will not go back to yesterday, like a dog to its own vomit. I am not the same person I was back then. My footsteps have taken me on a new and different path. From now on, I will lift my head and move on to hither and yon. You may think you know me now, but the truth is you do not. For surrounding me are fields of gray and I have found my way. My tears are not my weakness now and my smile lights up my way. Wheresoever I may rest my head, inside me love will stay. I broke the mold that held me bound and fought battles till I won. From nothing I became someone, and I have overcome. I slipped and fell, but through it all, I rose just like the sun. Now here I stand and shout to all. My journey has only just begun.

Lovers Kiss

Image
 My love and I look to the sky. For help and not defeat. To feel the heat from God's own sun. Fall gently at our feet. My love and I walk hand in hand. And hug each other so. And everywhere we go. We yearn for hearts to beat as one. So others will always know. Falling rain washes softly away. Each tear that we might cry. But in our hearts we have the right. To make a brand new start. For lovers kiss and make a life. To build forevermore. So always we could close the book. To hurt's open door.

I Close My Eyes

Image
 I close my eyes. And I see yesterday. When everything seemed so right. How you touched my heart. And held me in your arms. So sweet and so calm. How beautiful the memory of. Smiling faces and mystic moments. When gathering of family. Were moments to explore. The smell of firesides. Sent sparks up to the sky. I close my eyes. Though tears they fall. As I remember days gone by. When children played. And laughter heard. The songs of long ago. Where do broken hearts all go? Can you tell? Do you know? It's been so long since you've been gone. That I don't even know. The pieces of my shattered heart. Are scattered near and far apart. How I wish the wind would blow. And bring the pieces all aglow. Can you, my love, find your way?  To take the path, to home and stay? So my broken heart can tell a tale. Of love's great journey. That just won't fail.

Your Worth

Image
 Do not let your heart be troubled, for I am here with you. My love will be your shadow and my light will be your guide. If at times you loose your way, know that I am right there beside you as you go along the way.  I will not see your tears falling and not wipe them all away. It hurts my heart to see you sad so keep drawing from my strength. My cup is ever pouring in you, so you might not be made to thirst. And fruits from heaven just for you, will be my own produce. To bloom and blossom like a tree in the garden of Eden, is how I pray you be. So that others look upon and see you as beautiful and as radiant as a diamond's everglow. You are all I ever wanted and I hope you see your worth. 

Grapes In The Desert

Image
 You have sown the wind and you will reap the whirlwind. A vessel where you will find no pleasure, is what you will have. Like a wild ass, you will be all alone. For you have separated from the fold. You hired lovers, when I should have been more than enough for you. I gave you all I had but yet you turned your back on me. You discovered me, but chose me not. My heart is broken. My tears are falling like pouring rain. So many letters I have written unto you, but you counted them as a strange thing. So many people spoke to you on my behalf,  but your ears had no salve to hear their words.  Is Egypt so much the longing of your heart? Don't you know that there is nothing but hardship there for you? Do not fall in love with a reward upon every cornfloor. Do not throw away the bread I baked for you with all my love. I long for you to see the grapes in the desert. I long for you to drink from my cup. I long for you to come into my arms and let me hold you tight.  Return to...

Hedge Up My Way

Image
 Hedge up my way with thorns and make a wall around me. So that destruction, confusion and chaos cannot find me.  Let what was once a fruitful vineyard, become a forest. Let mirth and feast days be ceased, so there be no celebration of those who seek my demise. Let every open door be closed and hope be lost. No melody of songs singing or birds chirping  Those who have set traps in their haste to capture me, let them be entangled in its nets. Let their drink be sour. Let the wind bind my enemies up in their wings and let them be ashamed of their cunning. Open their eyes and let them behold the treasures in my castle. For I am not broken to pieces. I am not without a covering  in the desert. I am not forsaken and I am not forgotten. There is no rottenness in my bones. I will always have a home, while theirs be taken away... because they do not acknowledge their offence and abolish their hate. Their goodness is as a morning cloud. As the early dew, it goes away. Their ...

For Your Taste

Image
 I hear the droplets of the rain. As it beat against the window pane. How I wish that you were here. To hold me tight and shield my fear. As howling wind and thunder roll. I ache for you out in the cold. No cup of tea or blanket near. Could take your love away my dear. My heart it breaks and tears they fall. For you don't answer when I call. If for a moment time could turn. I pray the Lord that you return. If wings of doves can chart a course. To take me where you are, for I am lost. I know my fruits be for your taste. As we hold fast our warm embrace. So come to me oh love of mine. And taste my kiss on lips so fine. Hear my heartbeat in your ear. And whisper words I long to hear. Let not my smile be lost for good. For yesterday you understood. Though miles apart but love anew. Would keep us close like the morning dew.

You Give Your Love

Image
 I love you like I love no other. This promise I make you. And nothing on this glorious earth. Can take me away from you. You make me smile when I feel sad. And hold me close to you. And everytime I feel alone. I can always count on you. You give your love and don't despair. Because we are as one. And always I can lean on you. Your strength makes me feel brand new.

Don't Give A Damn

Image
 Things are not always as they seem. And I don't always say what I mean. Because if I say what's in my heart. I fear that you and I will part. I wish at times you could read my mind. As only then, indeed, you might find. The woman that I truly am.  Once and for all just don't give a damn. With grace and hope I pray that someday. The man I love would come to stay. And in his hand he'll hold my heart. And keep the key that sets me free. But for now I smile and say. That good things come from a far-off way. That dark clouds that once kept me at bay. Will disappear as I smile today.

From Sky To Sea

Image
 My lover, don't you weep for me. For you have come and set me free. And so at last my feet can walk. And with my voice I can sing and talk. Oh precious one come soar with me. On eagle's wings from sky to sea. Where valleys cry and mountains smile. And dawn awakens all the while. Let not the quiet or giant roar. Of yesterday beat upon your door. Come take my hand and let us go. To places we have yet to know. Say goodbye soulmate of mine. To tears and sorrow like grief's own wine. For in my heart you will always be. The king who reigns where I am me.

God's Own Tank

Image
 I watched you as you toiled today. And in my heart I heard you say. Darling, all I do right now. Is for our future and to you I endow. You took a breath and wiped the sweat. From eyes and neck that was so wet. The sun was hot but you did not. Return to shade like an empty pot. Your thirst was much and so you drank. From water stored in God's own tank. All the while my heart was filled. With gratitude as you were willed. So hug me tight, tonight my love. And rest your head on me like a turtledove. As dreams, they touch you as you sleep.  And angels smile as I pray and weep.

A Fine Tooth Comb

Image
 You are the air I breathe everyday. You are the one, who plant my feet on a rock to stay. You are the apple of my eye. And I look forward to the day I meet you in the sky. You are my strength when I am weak. Your face everyday, is what I seek. If I have everything, but do not have you Lord. My eternal home in hell will be my reward. You are more precious than silver and gold. And in your hands, my heart you hold. To know that on the cross, you died for me. Is more than enough, to set me free. I love you more than the sand by the sea. And with you on my side, the devil must flee. Come laughter or sorrow or joy to behold. I surrender to you Lord, my body and soul. One day you will call and I will go home. And you oh Lord will judge me, with a fine tooth comb. For the life that I lived and the choices I made. To determine if I, was worth the price you paid.

Wolves

Image
 Not everyone who talk and laugh with you, is your friend. There are many wolves in sheep's clothing. Know who you have around you. Not everything that glitters is gold. Be careful. Be wise. Be prayed up. 

Better Unto You

Image
 You might be taken up in the lips of talkers. You might reside in the midst of the sea. Your mountain might be filled with cattle and thieves rob you at night. But through it all, though scattered and torn. You will feast and be not forlorn. Though they drive you from your land. By God's grace you will stand. For strength will clothe you where you go. And loving arms will let you know. That no dark cloud will be your guide. Because the Lord is on your side. Perpetual hate be multiplied. By those around you with their might. But battle scarred and armed to fight. You will stand with great delight. For who you are and whose you be. Will come to light for all to see. You will shoot forth your branches and yield fruits of every kind. For tilled and sown your garden will align. And in your barn, you turn the key. For better unto you, your substance will be. 

Sow And Grow

Image
 There is so much to be thankful for.  With gratitude to knock, on heaven's door. For every smile and every tear. You know that God is always there. On days you hope that mercy comes. When flights of fancy weighs you down. You lift your hands and raise your voice. For in your trials you rejoice. For every breath you take each day. And every step that makes you stay. In your heart you sing a song. To say, thank you Lord for righting your wrong. Oh, what beauty to behold. To know to God, your life is sold. When you hear him call your name. Your life will never be the same. So do not fear what comes your way. The Holy Spirit is here today. He will guide you where you go. So that others sow and grow.

From Heaven's Core

Image
 You are my first breath when I get up in the morning and my last when I fall asleep. You are my strength when I am weak and my pride though I am meek. You are the sweetness on my lips and the one I always kiss. You are my comfort when I am down and my smile in every frown. You are the arms that hold me tight and my shield in every fight. You are the apple of my eye and in your heart I do not cry.  You are the grace that is sufficient and the warmth inside my soul. In your arms I never fear, no matter what I face my dear. You are the one who picks me up and quench my thirst from your own cup. My every need you do supply and I don't even understand why. When words, they fail me and I can't speak. From heaven's core, you fill my leak. Upon my head of worry and doubt. You give me victory with a shout. Yet I rise though tired and broke. For in your care, there is no yoke. I eat from feast that you prepare, clothe with linen made with care. Upon my feet are sandals bright. To d...

You Are Protected

Image
 In the depths of the minds of wolves around you, lies the cunning craftiness of a multitude of proposed pits. It is hoped with desperation, that you might fall within and thereby be consumed forevermore.  What they do not seem to understand, is that the pit they think they are digging for you, is actually being dug for themselves. A net, like a trap, will be spread for them to fall into. They will be cast out into the open field and the fowls of heaven will feast upon their dead carcass. The land will be filled with their blood, even on the mountain tops. You will always be protected. You will always be preserved. You will always arise. No weapon formed against you will prosper.  What people need to understand, is that, as a child of God, there are angels assigned to protect you from all sides. From all harm and all danger.  You do not have to fear what others try to do or say. You do not have to worry. All you need to do, is put your trust in Almighty God and HE w...

Angels Help

Image
 Do not worry little girl. If tears they fall and your hair curl. Do not let what others try. Cause your heart to break and cry. Fret not yourself what others say. For God will always make a way. While words they come like arrows shot. You will bloom like a forget me not. Little do they know my dear. How strong you are in the midst of fear. For from the mercy seat of God. Comes angels help with Aaron's rod.

Come Into Me

Image
 Oh! My perfect love. How much do I love you. You are my navel string. How tightly are we connected. You have multiplied as the bud of the field. You have come to excellent ornaments. Your breasts are fashioned and formed like pomegranates.  Succulent and full and nourishing with flavour.... for me. Your hair has grown, when once you were bare. Your time, is a time of love. I will spread my skirt over you and dress you in fine linen. So will I cover your nakedness, that you be not exposed to lust. You are my own. I want you. I desire you. I hunger for you day and night. I ache... I long. Come! Drink from my cup of love. Taste my sweetness upon your lips. Let my embroidered work upon your skin, be your embrace. Fine white linen and pure silk, will caress every inch of you. I will deck you with jewels of pure gold, upon your body. I have come to love you. To enwrap you and cover you in milk and honey. You are my nectar.  You are my heightened desire. You are my breath and m...

Never Come, Another Day

Image
 Plastered with untempered morter, is your ray of sunshine. On walls that will fall, like an overflowing shower. A stormy wind will tear it to pieces and your shaky foundation, will be discovered. My heart once thought, that I, was your first love. My soul laid bare, what inside, held dear. But like a woman, whose face is set against others like herself. So you have sewn pillows to all armholes and handkerchiefs, upon goodness. To destroy, what is supposed to bring joy. You tried to pollute me with fake substance. You lacked knowledge. That I could see through your cloudy vision. You brought coals of fire upon your own bald head. You didn't love me. You didn't sing me a new song. You thought not to hug me, or hold me in your arms, or be my comfort, when I needed warmth and compassion. You made me ache. You were a thorn. A dry rose, where no scent embraced. Yet, light has come. A new day has emerged. I am surrounded by a fresh breeze. I have turned my back on you. I have found m...

I Am From Above

Image
 You think that you are good. But you are like the fox in the desert. You do not seek my yearning or fill my hunger.... for what is just. You are lusting for fame and recognition and wander to and fro, in your own desires. Why do you not build a hedge around me or go up in the gaps? How am I supposed to defend myself, when I am made to stand all alone? Your words are lies, shot forth from arrows. To cut asunder, every act of brotherly love. You try to attract others. To captivate and inspire their trust, in activating what you have marked, for your own gain. Your vision is consumed with vain sightings. What you do, is not meant for good. You laugh, when you should cry. You walk, when you should run. You stop, when you should go. Your company is without shame or compassion. In your lust for elevated status, you seek to destroy the good that surrounds you. Where is the love? Where is the heart that is supposedly filled with kindness and compassion for me? I look, but it is not seen....
