He stepped down from His throne
To deliver us from sin, alone
His heart churns with compassion for the world has run amiss
He came to show the world that true love does exist
...
To re-write everything going on in your mind
To be able to leave all the hurt behind
Yet memories of the past are getting in the way
While fear of the future are causing delays
...
Amazed by the gold, frankincense, and myrrh
Given by the wise men, who stood near
Who came afar to set their eyes on the King
Whom angels, the shepherds, heard sing
...
As the year ends it's left me with a smile and a sigh
A year of struggles and joy, with people who lifted you up or made you cry
And i've liked, i've followed, i've posted, i've commented
Falling in a cycle i never intended
...
As the year winds down
And as i look around
I consider all the changes made
As the old years memories fade
...
The haze of the past will never let you see the horizon down the road
As you keep walking, bearing past memories heavy load
As you wonder how to get over this overwhelming sense of loss
The answer lies on the fork in the road you came across
...
Truth waiting to be discovered
Light waiting to be uncovered
Bringing darkness to nought
By bringing people it sought
...
A struggle came before me
A vision at night caused me to see
Those things my flesh could not for it was foolishness to it
Therefore by foolishness would my heart be lit
...
Look beyond the tomb; for no one is there
Look to Him in His throne; from the power of a simple prayer
As evil overwhelms the land
Seek for guidance; your life is in His hand
...
In an instant for no flesh can see Him and live
Brightness will overcome darkness; coming from the will to forgive
Turning those who have His seal
As angels who minister, who do His will
...
The sign read; this is Jesus the King of the Jews
But their heart was hardened, they never knew
That the person who was nailed to the cross that day
Was here to heal them, guide them, show them the way
...
When You saw me, You saw past all the pain i caused through sin
You saw my heart, the potential i could be, instead of the failure i could've been
Now as i find myself walking in the same road
I see the sun going down on the grace You bestowed
...
As our parents hearts are filled with mirth
As our eyes open when given birth
A crawl begins and then a walk
A gibberish sound before we begin to talk
...
I keep replaying it in back of my mind
And as i press forward it always goes back to rewind
Why can't i let this feelings go
Why did i allow them to grow
...
To hide behind a smile
Living life in denial
Have you not considered, not understood
How the enemy wants to keep you bound saying its all good
...
Everything in life happens for a reason
Just like the earth has many seasons
The summer-to take away all the unwanted things
The fall- to make room for all the good God brings
...
Life goes on, though its harder than its ever been
You've seen it and you've stuck with me through thick and thin
What would i do if i didn't have a shoulder to cry on
When my world comes crashing down, and i come undone
...
Finally my hands were tired of holding on
Tired of overthinking causes of what went wrong
I've realized life teaches lessons every curve we turn
But you have to go through them, in order for you to learn
...
I was raised in a small town. In a single parent home. While growing up i ended up hanging with the wrong crowd, which led to a long stay at a juvenile detention center. While i was there a social worker shared her love of poetry with me. And i have been writing ever since.)
There Is No Greater Love Than This
He stepped down from His throne
To deliver us from sin, alone
His heart churns with compassion for the world has run amiss
He came to show the world that true love does exist
He took off His glorious crown
And on the cross, He laid life down
To take us from eternal damnation to eternal bliss
Clearly, there is no greater love than this
