My nose is bloody, my knuckles, too,
And my jersey's covered in mud.
I don't know who I thought I was kidding,
Trying to be some romantic stud.
...

Anyone can tell me
The things I want to hear.
Anyone can say they care,
Or that they hold me dear.
...

There are so many things I want to say,
So many things to tell you, dear.
But I find that now I just can't say them,
Now now,
...

The darkness was closing in,
The fires lept so high.
But You Lord, lifted me,
You delievered me from the enemy.
...

'Why is it, ' you ask, 'That you're so content?
'What inspires that smile? '
Well, if you want to know, my friend,
Then sit and listen for awhile.
...

My baby sister lives with my dad and stepmom, and I don't get to see her much. But by God's good grace we stick it through, and I am in love with this little girl. Here's to you, Shelby Kay.

How there, baby girl, how are you?
I hope that you're doing fine.
...

Though all around the devil prowls
And tempts good men to fear.
Though he loudly shrieks and howls
He cannot harm us here.
...

Jesus, Thou were crucified,
And to this world Thou bled and died.
Empower me to do the same,
For the glory of Thy matchless Name.
...

O my Father, great and gentle,
Come and aid me here tonight.
For my sorrows come a-howling,
Chains of loss have bound me tight.
...

Celestial music, softly playing,
Seems to swirl about my head.
And I cry to Thee while praying,
'I'm alive though I was dead! '
...

You dream tonight of your fancy clothes,
Your future fame,
But you don't know,
Tonight I am dreaming too.
...

It's night.
Outside the stars beam
Like caution lights.
With heavy heart I fall on my knees,
...

Here, where thoughts and men are quiet,
Nothing is as it seems.
The world outside screams in riot,
But here is the soft sound of dreams.
...

I understand the importance of theological discussions, but I'm saddened by the hatred that so often goes into them.

These wars of ideology,
Shall be our untimely death.
...

There are countless ways people show love,
Some make you laugh, some make you cry.
But everyone knows that when God shows love,
He sends an angel from on high.
...

Well, you did it, here you are,
That place you wanted to be.
You've got the meaning way down deep,
You're doing well, from what I see.
...

I've found that one's devotion to a significant other is directly proportional to how much one writes.

I have to confess something
(Please don't think me insane)
...

All of us see the world
Through our own little two-way mirror.
Some are tinted, some are dirty,
Some couldn't be clearer.
...

Just today I was watching the news,
When the man came on and said,
'There's been an awful tragedy,
That's left eight people dead.'
...

It isn't smart to fall so quickly
But I'm falling for you fast now.
And the reason that I used to apply,
Is a relic of the past now.
...
