Lack of hope, desperation
causes defeat, demise
Sense of confusion overtakes
a mind filled with utter lies
...
Jesus, you are everything that your name depicts
and so much more
There are not enough words to express my love for
the one whom I truly adore
...
I hate that I’m in love with you
My heart aches
Why’d I tell the truth?
2 months, you throw it in my face
...
Since the day I met you
Every time I see you
Whenever I’m not near you
My ears wanted to hear you
...
You struck me yet again
and I assure you it will be your last
Take it in quickly,
the sweet smell of victory
...
My heart and soul cries out to you
Daily I surrender, my life, it's true
The thought of losing you, it makes me cry
The fact that you still love me, I can't see why
...

Broken And Contrite
Lack of hope, desperation
causes defeat, demise
Sense of confusion overtakes
a mind filled with utter lies
Trapped, no, blinded by fear and guilt
The waters of Babylon rising high
daring souls to sink
On the left hand, on the right
in the front and in the back
hell's entire army
sends demons to attack
A host, seemingly susceptible
Maybe this soul will fall
but while on bended knees
the soul utters an unnerving call
Warning lights go on upstairs
Obey them and you will survive
Missed the exit completely
Clouded head, barely alive
Jesus, can you hear me?
A distant voice came from the dark
The answer came back, but no receptors
A stray from the old landmark
Wandering around the vicinity of the promised land
so near, yet so far
Bowing to idols made by human hand
cries, remembering miracles of the past
with raised hands stretched to heaven
asking to be freed at last
Broken and contrite
Returning to the first love
Shackles break and fall off
Anointed oil pours from above
The essence, the newness of life
pleases and overwhelms
water of life flows inward
from the eternal well
the host of hell is angry
but Jesus still redeems
as joyous tears
replaces peer un-seen
