TIME OF SEASON I AM IN

VANITY
INDIGNATION
WHO DESERVES OUR INHERITANCE?
STRETCH FORTH TO PRESUME
COMMOTION
CONFOUNDED
HASTE, JIGGERED STEPS
AVENGED AND FOWL
SETS LIMITATION
IN THIS PRESENT IT CAN SET FREE VISION OF OWN HEART
LET IT RESIDUE
NOT PROVOKE
REMEMBRANCE OF CRIMSON BLOOD
CORRECT BACKSLIDING
TIME TO ASSEMBLE
PREVAIL!

THIRST

OLIVE TREES
FRUIT BRANCHES OF FORGIVENESS
OIL OF RICHNESS
SHADOWS REFLECT THE TIME OF DAY

SUCH BEAUTIFUL IS THE WORKS OF THE LORD
IN, ALL IT'S WHOLE AND COMPLETE

COMPLETED
EXERCISED MUSCLES
WIND ROARS, WHISPERING, GIFTS, PUZZLES, REARRANGED
BEYOND OUR CAPABILITIES
OUR WORLD CHANGED

MY BOYS

PLUCKED FROM GARDENS, SUCH DIRTY HANDS
RAVISHED IN PRAISES
FAST TO TOUCH, EARS SLOW, SO YOU KNOW THEIR AGE IS
NEED ATTENTION IS BAFFLING
MISBEHAVED BEHAVIOR, I GET CONCERNED
WHY CAN"T THEY REMEMBER WHAT I SAID, USE WHAT THEY LEARNED
PLEASED WITH THEMSELVES THEY PUT ON A SHOW
EACH DAY PASSES, BABIES TO MEN THEY GROW
FUN TO PLAY, EXCUSE TO PRETEND
CONTRIBUTION POURED LOVE, RISE ABOVE, STEP FORTH GOOD MEN

Blesssings

Marvellous! SIGHT TO SEE MY CHILDREN LOOKING AT ME
WARM EMBRACE
BLESSINGS SPOKEN I RETRACE
OVER, OVER SO THEY MAY TOKEN
FORM MUSCLES, COMPREHEND, I COMM IND
SPECIFY UNIQUE QUALITIES THE LORD SET AS NUGGETS IN THEIR SOUL
OBVIOUS SO TOWARDS TREASURES, RED CARPET I ROLL
BUILDING BLOCKS CREATE SELF ESTEEM
RECOGNIZE THEIR TALENT USED TO REACH THEIR DREAMS
AGREEMENT IN SPIRIT
REPETITION SO THEY HEAR IT
HANDS ON WHAT GRATIFICATION
STEP AHEAD ADVISED FOR THEIR FOUNDATION
PROGRESS, EXPRESS, MOTIVATION
PRAYERS, SONGS FROM A MOTHERS HEART'S INVITATION

Out!!!

Quaking to confess
enquire less
mischief diurnal
my habitation
Full to brim with accusations

NOT A CRUSH

VIOLATED
I CLING ON TO THE FOOT OF THE ROBE WORE BY THE KING
SNIFFING OUT THE FURNACE
REFINERS FIRE
MY EARS DRUMS BEATEN WORDS OF HATE
WHIPPED BY JEALOUSY
FILTH BUILD UP GRIME FROM MAGICIANS,ENCHANTERS, DIVIDERS, EXPOSE TEMPORARY RESTING EXITS
THIS MESSAGE COMES ONLY FROM THE GOD OF TRUTH
INTERPRET THE DEPT OF LOVE
HE HAS CARVED OUT ON TREE TRUNKS
EXPRESSES HOW CAPTIVATED HE IS
 WHAT TOGETHER EQUALS
THIS IS NOT JUST A CRUSH
ETERNITY, FOREVER
ROOTS THAT BREAK ALL OTHER FOUNDATIONS
STRICKEN BY EXILE
INFLICTS, ARGUES TO URGE DESTRUCTION
TIME TO RELEASE EVERYTHING
DISINFECT, PURIFICATION
ROUSED TO BE WORTHY OF HIS IMAGE
RICHNESS IN HIS AWAITING RIGHTEOUS GARMENTS

BYE

FASTEN, LOCKED IN FOR RIDE
COINCIDE
FORECAST THE LIES
ONCE I THOUGHT OF YOU BEAUTIFUL
THAT WAS THEN
FAR FROM CONCLUSION IN THE END
YOU KNOWN, ME YOU WOULD MISS
ALL I CONTRIBUTED TO ASSIST
I AM GONE
CAN'T FIND ME ANYWHERE
DARE DO I CARE?
ME NOT ONE LITTLE BIT
I WASN'T FIT
THE ANSWER TO A TWISTED, MADE UP STORY
AIN'T GOT TIME, DON'T BORE ME
I PROTECT ONLY WHO CAN CONTRIBUTE
OUT OF SUIT
YOUR NOT EVEN MADE THE SAME
OVER THE YEARS WISER I BECAME

ASK

PRETEND
DISTANT FRIEND
KEPT ME FROM BEING ALONE
DARKNESS PRONE
BEND THE RULES
LIKE DRINKING OODLES
IT'S NOT FOUND IN THE TASTE
NOTHING CAN REPLACE
WHAT I WANT
IN THE HAUNT
FRUSTRATION
CONDENSATION
BEADING, NEEDING
TRAVEL IN THE PRESENT
CAN'T GET AWAY
ASTRAY
OUT OF CONTROL
FELT AS IF I COULD COVER ALL OUR TOLLS
LESSON SHOULD BE THAT OF TRIAL
TRIBULATIONS
MULTIPLICATION
ERUPTION
TEMPT
TESTIMONIES OF TEACHER CONTENT
OWN A FRACTION OF THE LAND THAT DEFINES DOWN FALL
FACE TO THE GROUND, HELP WE CALL
REACH OUT TO PROVIDE A HAND
OVERALL LOVE ONE ANOTHER HE COMMANDS

GANGSTER

YOU HURT ME
FIND ME UNWORTHY
KINDA NERDY, NOT MUCH TO SEE
CAN'T GIVE YOU MONEY
IN THE SPIRIT, TELLS ME DIFFERENT
WHO AND WHAT I REPRESENT
I HAVE PROTECTION
POURED OUT BAPTIZED WITH RELATIONSHIP
PLOWED THROUGH THE CURSE
INTENTIONS WERE TO BE DEVOURED, DUMPED IN A HURST
TODAY ENEMY CRIES
 NO FEEDING LIES
ALIVE!!!
A POWERFUL DECEDENT
AGAINST THE BATTLE, IT TAKES THAT I WENT
ANTICIPATION WAS OF MY DEATH
GOD PICKED ME UP WITH HIS BREATH
PAST TO BE IN LINE
LITTLE TRAPS NO REASON OR RHYME
HERE TO SAVE SOULS
IN FRESH ATTIRE
I INSPIRE
NOT AFRAID OF THE BEAST
HE IS THOUGHT OF AT LEAST
LIKE A TRUE GANGSTER COME BACK
NO ANGER
LIMP STRIDE TO MY STEP
GOD'S REP
GENTLE BREEZE
I HEAR SCREECHING
LEACHING
NOT IMPRESSED OF THE POSSESSED
CALL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO
A RISING PHOENIX, IT'S ABOUT DUE
RUN EVIL, YOUR NOT GAINING ANYTHING
GOD WINS
ONCE AGAIN OVER SINS

STAGE

CARELESS SO CAREFREE
QUIET FEET, NO ONE CAN HEAR
KEPT LIVING IN FEAR
LONG TO DANCE, FIGHT TO SING
WHISPER SO NOT WATCHED FROM SPOT LIGHT BURNS
ON THE STAGE SET UP PROVIDE INFORMATION TO APPLICATOR
IT TAKES A SMIDGEN OF EVIL TO BE DISGUSTED
TO EXCEPT IT
ONE SECOND GIVEN IN ATTENTION
ENGAGED IN ONE SIDE FROM WHERE IT'S MENTIONED
FORESHADOWS ARE NEVER PROTECTED
PAST WORDS SOMETIMES NEGLECTED
FOR WHAT LIES AHEAD USUALLY IS NOT THAT WISHED
LEFT ALLOWING MY HISTORY TO BE FISHED
GUARD WHO I AM BEFORE AUDIENCE DEMOLISH

STEADY

CEASE THE DAY, IT'S CARP A DIEM
TO STEP FORWARDS, NO LONGER RUN BACKWARDS
THE DEVIL TOP TRICKS FROM 1 TO 10.
CHASE THAT WHAT WAS LOST OR COVER WHERE YOU ALREADY BEEN
THE TEST IS IN RECOVERY
TO LET GO AND SET FORTH FOR WHATS BEEN READY
STEADY
DON'T GET STUCK IN INJURY
ONLY GOOD COMES FROM GETTING USE TO BENDED KNEE
IN PRAYER DON'T LOOSE FAITH
GOD NEVER GIVES US TO MUCH ON OUR PLATE
AT TIMES I THINK HE TRUST US TOO MUCH
HOLY SPIRITUALLY TOUCHED
LORD REIGN ON THE JUST AND UNJUST
KEEPS US FOCUSED ON WHATS CHANGING IN US
WHEN IT HURTS
SELF AFFLICTIONS
CONDITIONS
THE LORD REMINDS HE USES THE FOOLISH THINGS IN THE WORLD TO CONFIDE THE WISE
THATS WHEN I START TO SEE NOT OF MY SIGHT, BUT THROUGH HIS LOVING EYES

REAL EVIDENCE

NO GUARANTEE

FAITH ISN'T A GUARANTEE
DOESN'T END WITH FLOATING IN THE SKY
THERE IS NO PROMISE BUT YOU SHALL SPIRITUALLY GROW
DOESN'T MAKE YOU WEALTHY OR COMPLETELY SATISFIED
YOU MIGHT NOT COMPREHEND WHEN ARRIVED
IT'S IN THE JOURNEY, HOW MUCH FEAR WAS FACED
WATCH OUT WHEN RUNNING THE RACE
FOR IT'S MEASURE ISN'T IN WHAT YOU PLACED
 IT'S THAT YOU DO IT A LITTLE OR A GULP AT A TIME
BELIEVING ISN'T AS EASY AS YOU THINK
FLOAT OR SINK
DISTRACTION ON THE FULLNESS OF ONES CUP
WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY, FAITH, JUST NEVER GIVE UP!

POKED

SMACKED GUMS
LOOSE FILLINGS

WAVERING THE ROAD IN ROUTE
REVELATION OF THE DATE
FATE
PLUGGED EARS, NOT BLIND!!!
IT'S A MESSAGE DOLLED UP
VEGAS STRIP LIT
WON'T LEAVE ME A LONE ONE BIT
TAPS ON THE SHOULDER TO INTERRUPT CONVERSATIONS
ARROGANCE AS THE STRONGHOLD
UNCONTROLLED
GIFT OF DISCERNMENT, MY PERSONAL BAGS EMPTY OF
SHAPELY FOOTHILLS
SHARP EDGES ABOVE
NOT PLEASED WITH THE HIKE JUST TO TAKE SECONDS OF A VIEW
I'll LIVE THERE LOOKING FOR MY DEW
EMOTION
DEVOTION
ANALOGIES MADE BUT NOT UNDERSTOOD
FORMALITIES, RULES, LAWS, KEPT I NEVER COULD
THE LOVE OF SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
BROKEN I THINK WE SHOULD

PEACE

THERE IS TIMES I FEEL HATE
ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM AT FAULT
A VICTIM OF CRITICISM
I LOOK WITH CONFUSION
IS THIS A INTRUSION?
IF I JUST HAD A MOMENT I WOULD HAVE DONE IT RIGHT
I LOOK FOR BLAME
OUTCOME IS THE SAME
CHANGE SWARMS IN THE AFTERNOON CLOUDS
I AWAIT FOR THE MOMENTS I AM PROUD
AS THE COUNTDOWN OF AGE, I NOTICE IT GETS HARDER
BROKEN PIECES I TRY TO SOLIDER
BUT THAT'S NOT THE LESSON, IT'S WHATS UP AHEAD
THE DAWN COMES IN THE MORNING A NEWNESS OF EXPERIENCES
ADJUSTMENT OF ONES HEAD

FIT

DON'T JUDGE
WALKED THROUGH SOME ,BUT MOST I TRUDGE
I PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
I FOLLOWED NO ONE
A VALUE THIS PRICELESS
CA MILLION THIS USELESS?
DUE TO BEGGARS CONSENSUAL FRIENDS
FORMALIZED TO BARGAIN MY ETERNITY
NOT AVERAGE
UNDERCOVER
GEAR CARRIED BY SECRETE SPY'S
AMMO USED AGAINST TO DESTRUCT THE WISE
CRAZY DODGING, PUNISHMENT IMMOBILIZATION
THE STORIES OF THE HUMANS MEMORIES THE PATHS I'VE TAKEN
ENOUGH OF THE BOTHER OF QUICKEN PANIC
TORN
DEEPLY FRANTIC
NOT GOING TO STOP TIL I CAVE IN
EXPRESSION OF NEEDS
MISHAPS DRASTIC END

Unfocused

Candy coated
Taste so sweet
Painted illusions
Medicine
Daily vitamin
Doctors orders
Prescription
Wanted a new name, got confused so I stuck with the same.
Amazing when it is you that is fooled,
playing a game with no rules.
Looking for a lover, but he just wanted sex.
Now I place him with the many who are my ex.
Thought Money?
House?
Car?
Quick to take me behind bars!

Oh detectives ask to many questions.

In church I perch but they never could keep it straight.
Hyprocrites how do you rate?
Usually by myself, guess I am to not have a connection,
affection.
I see through that where they choose to aime.
Emergency road flames.
Chances taken by the looser.
Gambling lables the joker.
To just smile and swallow ain't my style.
Running shoes!
Never high heels.
Two minutes in my place,
lets see how you feel?

Just A Little

Have a little faith in me!
How much the cost?
Not here to borrow but a dream, or have strength to paddle upstream.
I seldom hear good news.
For trying times left me down and blue.
A person who made the fall, was excited to live at all.
Standing, no smiles  casted my way.
Answer this, What is it that helps you through a long day?
It's hard when low to gather ideal defense.
How is it that someone can be proud, leaving others to die on sidelines.
They think their winning, but entry declines.
The tape that spells f.i.n.i.s.h.ed is not one to be paid.
When it's time to sleep how do you feel with the bed you have made?

Outside

Sitting under a willow tree.
Kicking back, enjoy how it shades.
The sun shines bright as the day is long.
In ease but struggle where I belong.
Different tempos my feet catches beats.
Now I lisston to the breeze flowing through the leaves.
Most the time I chase my tail.
Day dream of casting in as captain to my ship that has sailed.
Makes me laugh and cry how I search in the tides.
For I could not set quest in able to find, such a depth journey.
It's in the Authors Irony.
Nor is a mission accomplished with friends on either side.
To gather what is best prolonged, the treasures that hide inside.

whatever

It's another bust!

Good moods brake

People hating

taking

sunsets

out on the horizon

Verizon

distance up ahead

settle in bed

Predictions

Frictions

It meets in the sheets

Between the ears

It's ugly head rears

Adverbs

Absurd

obstacles

Leaping

keeping

capturing

junk!!

Starts with a twinkle

Ends with wrinkles

HOPE WAS TANGIBLE

Now forgettable

I was able!

Washed away under the table.

There you are

Gazing at the stars really your not so far.
There looking down on the spot I stand.
Tiny in your hand
As the wind kicks up, it rearranges the sky.
Here eye to eye
It's your promise no weapons shall be formed against
shall prosper
that you already have my defense
I am stronger
Heart ache I no longer
If this feeling could never end
I would give my all
reach the night high, tall
The way you think, I as your precious daughter
Your upset when this world tries to slaughter
you don:t forget
alone I am worth it
you take
how your tears can fill lakes
oceans
i have never seen
you are true
know all i do
i believe

THE OFFER

What I am, is my worth
This I'll share with you
Abundant cigarette kisses
one purple tattoo It's what is talked about
when the microscope is out
reaction my attraction
judgement
comment
The color purple is my favorite
on my back
Behind, the past
Memories out last
What was once, is no more
Question, what am I looking for?
Approval
Acceptance
clearance
Uncomfortable
Discontent
wondering around in dream of rescue
pursued surviving
striving
Stuck with the same offer
Ask my father he"ll tell you it's true
I am over due
careless
Yes less!
Than he expected
rejected
Conversation foreign
over my head
At least I have something to give
You want it?
cigarette kisses
and my rebel tattoo

THE TRUTH HURTS

Suddenly silent
focused on the whispers
defensive
painfully true
smirks disguise intent of closing my doors
slamming shut one by one
standing with weak legs
In shock
mocking
tears flow full with your reflection
stunned
as the spot light shines in my eyes
on stage
naked
help, anyone, please!
It's not fair
Crowd gathering to watch the snake strike to kill
erase filth my hands supply
is this all I've become?
all the positive forgotten
finger feed my mouth with sweet dreams,
self esteem
at least won't you whisper lies?

What Eyes Can Not See

CONVINCED IT'S A SPIRITUAL BATTLE.

BELIEVING IN, THAT WE CAN'T NOT SEE.

FAITH OF OUR FATHERS

FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER

FOR EVERYONE IS IN THE SAME WAR

THEY PLAY WITH FIRE UNKNOWINGLY

POSSESSED TURN MEN BLIND!

THICK MUCUS COVERS DILATED PUPILS

ALONE WE FEEL AS SPIRITS LIE

DEVASTATION INTO THE DEVILS STATION

TURNS OUR CHANNEL, STUCK ON OBSESSION

SMASHES SELF ESTEEM WITH WORDS;

NEVER, WHY NOT?, ONLY ONCE, NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW?, UNWANTED, RUN AWAY!

FOLLOWS WITH A ECHO HA HA HA!

SO RAPID HUMANS MUST HAVE ON ARMOR, WEAPONS, AND ARMY TO WIN.

MORE SOPHISTICATED ARE THEIR TRICKS SINCE ADAM AND EVE.

MANY SLEEPLESS NIGHTS DEMONS TAILOR TRAPS.

THE ONES THAT WORK ON ME WON'T WORK ON YOU.

THE ONES THAT WORK ON YOU I BARELY UNDERSTAND

FEAR IS WHAT SHUTS MOUTHS!

RIGHTEOUS WE ARE

GODS CHILDREN

WHY WOULD they WORK SO HARD IF IT WASN'T WORTH SO MUCH?

SOULS ON THE GAMBLING TABLE

IT TRIES AND SEPARATES FAMILY, FRIENDS.

FOOLISH TO OPEN THE DOOR WELCOMING TORMENT, DARKNESS INTO OUR HOMES.

FORGIVE, DRAW CLOSE TO GOD AND THE PEOPLE WITH LOVE

FOR IF YOU DO SO YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.

Distant Measure

Rich words of scripture
Sweetness from a savior
Many try to find or prove identity
Connection of character
So many lost
I Included!
Concentrated
Understanding, vision deluded
Search for a place in this world.
Just one world.
Ever a match would be life's destiny
Like a magical wand, yet fantasy
Wild how we never are satisfied
Disowned self
Rebuild
Then hide
While scream inside
At ease when saints reminds that here isn't where it counts
In heaven is where our treasures are given
Demons circle the door
Their nails tapping the floor
Spitting words of complication
Temptation
Gauged every time I try to play
Long shadows end the day
Where do I go in this world?
Belong in this world?
Faced with a never ending story
Average life
But for what I have I give
God all the Glory

Dash

Quick I whip
I dip
I sway
I flash
I mash
Release the trash
Sorry you must go away
So long
I prolong
It's sometimes hard to tell
I hop
I run
I get me some
For long, not my style
I smile
Then go
I flow
And question
Why do I dash so?

Inviting

Loose restrains
Unleash control
Untie the knots!
Relax tense muscles
Freedom!
Rebirth!
Turn knobs
Pour Out
Far from leaking faucets
My cup overflows
Trust the loves host
I turn so my ears can hear
Yet knowledge at demons invades the mind
Illusions tires the soul
Sought out ghostly shadows
It's expected that night falls
Intruding, haunting, memory's walls
Cemented chained to traveling feet with conspiracy
Designs a trap
Covered with branches of self doubt
Brushes of pity
Speak!
Begin the process
Recovery of Breath
Sweet Zen
Rejoice in words confining
Here I stay
Arms held out for the inviting

DISCOVERED

MY WORTH IS MORE THAN TEMPORARY SATISFACTIONS

THE STRENGTH OF A HUNDRED MEN

MY LIGHT SHINE SO BRIGHT LEAVING THOSE WHO DWELL IN DARKNESS AFRAID TO OPEN THEIR EYES

I STEER THE REIGNS WITH THE LORD AS MY GUIDE

NO LONGER CAN I HEAR LIES

NOT BETTER PHYSICAL

BUT DESIGNED TO HAVE A PEACEFUL DESTINY

LEAD THOSE WHO QUESTION MY VICTORY

PROCEED WITH CAUTION

LESSONS OF PAIN FOR OTHERS TO PARDON

KNOCKED

TWISTED, KNOTTED UP

EXPRESSION OF FRUSTRATION

DISTORT TO DISTRACT

WHAT IS TRUE

SIDETRACKED

DISCLAIMED

MISSION NOT TO STUMBLE

GROWTH COMES FROM THE HUMBLE

PICKED STRATEGIES, WHAT RULES TO USE

WHATS THE GOAL?

HOW MUCH IS THE TOLL?

HIGH JACKED TO SEPARATE THE WEAK FROM THE STRONG TO LEADERS LEAD NOT ALWAYS PLAY ALONG

AGAINST THE SPIRIT GOD'S WILL

MY QUESTION OVERALL WHO IS REALLY COVERING THIS BILL?

YOU'RE LIVING IN ME

MUZZLED

THE STRUGGLE ISN'T CLEAR BUT CONSISTENT

TO OVERCOME IS IRRELEVANT

TEMPORARY IS ORDINARY

PROGRESSION EX ORDINARY

FEVER BRAKES WHEN NO ONES AROUND

KICKS YOUR ASS

PUSHES YOU DOWN

IT TAKES, TOKES ,JOKES, SOMETIMES POKES

DEPENDS HOW THICK IS THE SMOKE

FROM START, EASY IT ALL LOOKS

ELEVATION, POWER INVOLVEMENT IT HOOKS

TO PAIN, INSANE, ALONE, DIRTY SCHEMING

YOUR HEART NEEDED TO HEAL SO YOU NUMBED THAT FEELING

THOSE NOW SMILING TOMORROW AIM TO KILL

WHEN GETTING OVER ON THAT DEAL

MONEY IS THE ROOT TO EVIL

DRUGS MAKES THAT PLANT GROW WATERED BY THE DEVIL

SOME SLEEP TOO MUCH

OTHERS NEVER ENOUGH

OVERALL THIS WORLD IS TOUGH

CHASE THE HIGH, SKIP THE LOW

LESSONS ARE YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW

HEARTS TURN COLD, FACES OLD

TAKES WHAT GROWTH YOU COULD OF HAD

MAKES FAMILIES SO SAD

WHY DO WE CUT OFF OUR EMOTIONS, LIKE THAT'S OUR SECRET POTION?

ARE WE SUCH DEEP THINKERS OR ARE WE GANGSTERS?

IN THE FIGHT, THE WAR

COME DANCE THE DANCE ON THE FLOOR

WATCH YOUR FEET CUZ MANY STEP ON TOES

WATCH HOW MANY PEOPLE AREN'T YOUR FOES

KISS THE POISON GO AHEAD EXPLORE

YOU'LL WANT NOTHING LESS JUST MORE, MORE, AND MORE.

TIRED

SEASONS CHANGE

WISDOM GAINED

FACES, CHARACTERS NEVER STAY THE SAME

FALLEN IN LOVE WITH PIECES OF THE HUMAN ART

BUT NEVER GIVEN INTO THE WHOLE HEART

WHY DO WE BELIEVE IN LIES?

DISGUISES

IS IT CAUSE IT'S WHAT WE NEED?

HOPE?

OR HOW WE COPE?

DESPERATE TO APPROVE OF DEFECTION AS A BLESSING

WALK IN SWAMPS SEARCHING FOR A HAVEN

CLOSE EYES, TRUST THAT GUT FEELING

IT WAS SUNNY THAN

LEAFS HAVE FALLEN SINCE

I, MYSELF NO LONGER CONVINCED

HURT FROM MY OWN CHOICES AND BLAMING YOU FOR IT

I'LL TAKE IT AS MANY LESSONS LEARNED CATEGORIES UNDER BULLSHIT

TRICKS ARE FOR KIDS

NOW YOU SEE ME

NOW YOU DON'T

TO BE THE SAME I WON'T

BACK AWAY NO TIME FOR PLAY

YOUR NAME I WILL NEVER SAY

I'LL CHANGE MY MIND RIGHT IN TIME

NEW DIRECTION AND AFFECTION

MEMORIES FADE AS THE CLOCK TICKS FED UP WITH THE TRICKS

YOU'LL BE SORRY AND I'LL BE WRONG

BUT AS IT'S SAID I'LL BE GONE

SO LONG

NEVER SO HAPPY OFF ON A NEW ADVENTURE

YOU ACT LIKE A CHILD IMMATURE

I ALREADY KNOW I AM THE BEST YOU COULD GET

DON'T FORGET MY NAME

YOU'VE BE BLESSED BY KARI LEGGETT

UP

Ignite flame.

Straight to the gun powder, BANG!

Yesterday same song I sang.

I really didn't know any better.

In Christ followed his spirit, now together.

Not magic, nor over night.

But gently guided by his light.

Don't think he wants us perfect.

Even dirty, unloved he knows what our worth is.

Our testimony, we shall over come.

Now there's a new hymn on my tongue.

Amazing Grace how sweet is the sound?

Looking up, not down, or around.

I am not made to be in bondage!

Won't carry the heavy luggage!

Believe he heals. New life my King reveals.

I choose to fight away the old.

Jesus Christ my savior, his plan unfolds.......

CAUGHT

YOU HAVE DESIRES


I CAN TELL YOUR MESMERIZED BY THE FIRE

HAVE YOUR SECRETS IN THOSE FLAMES

FELT SO GOOD, HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME

YOUR NOT SO PURE IN PERFECTION

GAVE INTO SELF FOR ATTENTION

MANY GET PUSHED IN

CONTRIBUTES ADDICTION

HYPNOTIZED WOKEN WITH EVICTION

TIME HAS COME IT'S CONVICTION

THE SPARKS FLY FAR WHEN GIVEN IN

OVER AND OVER TO THOSE SINS

HEAT TEMPERATURE UNCONTROLLED

WITH A BLAST TAKES YOUR SOUL

MORALS GONE NOW A SLAVE

IF ONLY YOU HAD SAID NO AND BEHAVED

1ST DEGREE BURNS MELTS FORMATION

YOU'VE ALREADY FILLED OUT THE APPLICATION

TAKE THE CHANCE YOU MIGHT GET CAUGHT

WHY PLAY WITH TEMPTATION, YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN BOUGHT!

BITE THIS

TEETH GRIND, GULP ATTACKED


CONCERNED?

NOT LIKLY

WHAT COULD IT BRING?

MORE PRODUCT

CONTROL OR MASK?

HOLD YOUR TONGUE EVEN IF YOU MUST USE IT TO CHEW

IF LOVE? THEN SHOW

NO WORDS ARE NEDED TO DISCRIBE EXERCISE SELF CONTROL

FEELING COME AS WELL AS THEY GO

TALK IS CHEAP

LOVE IS A INVESTMENT

FORGIVE

COMFORT TAKE A TASTE OF PEACE

DON'T USE YOUR MOUTH FOR MANIPULATION

OPEN WIDE AND CLOSE, BITE DOWN!

FOR IT MIGHT BE THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS YOU ON SOLID GROUND

An Addict by Kari Leggett

"Yeah so what?"
"I love you anyway!"
My mother coming to terms
that she can only have just pieces of me...
She takes it.
Picks me up, brushes off the dirt,
Wraps the wounds, kisses the pain.

"She's my daughter!"
I've heard her cry before
Searching for an answer.
God asks "Would you want another
To take her place?"
She replies, "No, I want her!"

My throat sinks into my chest
Finally someone won't give me away.

God questions "Do you want her different
or any other way?"

Her voice softens
"No Lord I'll take her
As she is.
Please give her the power to live
How You want her to live."

God says, "I love all, even the addicts,
Those that hurt inside the most
The tears and prayers
Won't be forgotten."

She stands by my side
Yet actually proud of me
She sees the wonderful that
No one else takes time to see.

She thinks I am beautiful,
She thinks I am smart.
Thinks that one day I'll overcome and save.
Knows too that I am brave,
And she is my mother.
I myself wouldn't ask for another.

Grandmother by Kari Leggett

She is the one who washes their face
"Brush your teeth", she shouts
"Clean off your plates!"
"Did you wash your hands?"
"My goodness where have you been?"
"Don't forget your vitamin!"

Brings them to church
Throw in homework, it's a cinch.
Tops it off by tucking them in
Love gets stronger, never lessens
Enjoys their stories made up in the car.
Finds herself captive in a youth's brain
Very seldom their constant chatter drives her insane.

Can't wait to see the excitment on their face
Watch now, they're off on a new adventure.
No she didn't give birth to these guys
But loves them the same
If you ask her, she would say,
for this amazing love God is to blame.

"I am not their mother but their's I adore,
I've seen those beautiful eyes before."
"They will grow up fast,
I am so pleased to take on the task."
"I know that everything now
Will soon be in the past."
