"Come My Way"

My heart did hunger
for You tonight, in the
deep darkness of my
lonely room

For I felt the pains of
loneliness, that most
times accompanies
a quiet gloom

I felt the harsh pains of
separation, as I did
not have that of which I
daily need

So I called out to You with
much fervent prayer, to bring
Your special love I need to me

But no answer found its way
to my hearts door, and what
was now locked so securely
away

Would never be found
to begin to change, the
complexion of my coming
day

For maybe I committed
a dreadful sin, or was it
something I forgot
to do or say

I only know that
tonight I am unhappy,
because You are far
away from where I
lay

Remember me this night
my love, and not
hesitate to send me a
sweet taste

Of the heaven that lives
within your well of
love, as I promise not
a drop will I surely waste

For the peace that lives
deep inside of my heart,
I want with me to always
stay

As I pray that when my new
day awakens, that you will
quickly come again my way.

"The Fire In My Eyes"

　
Your eyes feed the fire in my eyes

and so gently they fan the flames

yet no smoke does arise from their fire

for their origins are far from plain


And it’s the intertwining feelings

that I feel for you inside

doing battle with my heart and my soul

as I try to keep them always mine


While their flame causes my eyes to sparkle

like the brightest stars in the sky at night

While they seem to only want to shine

for the one love who gives them life


And as your eyes feed the fires in my eyes

gently fanning their fiery flames

inside of my heart on its inner wall

is inscribed so passionately your sweet name.

"Born Again"

The heart of man is always before me,
as he casually makes choices.
I see their endings from their
beginnings, as there is nothing that
is not uncovered by My sight

For I see deep into the soul of
men and women. I know their
thoughts and what they crave to
do in the world. I know that many
have fallen short even as they
confess my name.

In their minds they try to come
to grips with the world that they
see, giving into the many man made
gods of this world, always with
a hunger for more power, more wealth.

They cannot see beyond the veil
that I have built to stand a lifetime.
For to know me they must first believe
that I am their only hope for eternity.
And yet great is the number that have
fallen short, for they seek love, but 
the worlds love is short lived, while
the way to my love is endless and
unbounded for many cannot accept
He who is a stumbling block before
them, the son of man, the only way
to eternal life.

Blessed is he who hears my calling
and turns his heart to me, obeying
My word. For obeying is better
than sacrifice, and believing
In the one true living God is
counted to one as righteousness.

Blessed are they who hunger
after the bread and water that
I alone will give. For they shall never
hunger and thirst again. And though
they cannot see My face, I shall
know them, and I will remember
them when their time has come to
enter into the second life, when
they will truly be born again.

As One

You have taken up
residence in my heart,
causing its burning
flame to dance

You have taken my
sight away from my two
eyes, leaving me
sightless and in a trance

You have put a smile
within my heart,
that shines bright as
the morning sun

And all of this happened
so quickly, that I could
find no way to overcome

What came my way so
swiftly, sweeping my
wanting heart away

And now I pine over
you each day praying,
that our love as one
will always stay.

Consistent

　

Remain consistent in
what you do, and
always in what you say.

Remain consistent and
you will see Him,
when He comes that
glorious day.

That day when He comes
to claim His own,
and sets them forever
free.

Remain consistent in
your faith, and with you
He will always be.

"Moments In Time"

A moment captures
your beauty, which
time cannot take away

A second captures your
smiling face, that inside
my heart now wants to stay.

And a minute finds he is
not outdone, for he captures
your love’s sweet bliss.

And the hour says he is the
the luckiest, as he has the
sweet memory of your kiss.

Discerning His Word

As I open Your word each morning to pray
I search with a hope to find within the way
To the door that will open my mind to see
Helping me to discern the Word that will set me free

For every thing that I learn is always a delight
That helps to keep my feet on a path so right
So that I may be a true help to those in need
Allowing them to open their eyes to see

For once saved, life becomes a joy to share
With the many that come into our world each day
The grace that our Lord placed within to bear
Hoping that some by our encounter may now be saved

For are we not the example if from your words we do learn
What Your wisdom and understanding might help to be
If we embrace their sweet treasure and then in turn
Help others to embrace Your eternal seed

And as we proceed we also come to know
Inexplicably, that deeper in His love we will grow
For when in another we have planted His seed
Our precious lord with His love does water me

And all of this comes if we will only partake
Of the reading of His word never wanting to forsake
For as our wonderful day does come to an end
We become drawn to His tender sweet word again.

And as we pray we find what we truly discerned
When we embraced the truth that of this day we learned
Finding now as we lay down to sweetly sleep
The Lord embraces us with His peace we can keep.
