I Surrender to YouI Surrender to You

Oh, that's it.
I'm giving up.
I've done it all
But my best wasn't good enough.

I feel like cryin'
So sick of tryin'
And something inside is just dyin'

So I surrender to you
I've done all I could
I surrender to you
I did all I should

I can't carry myself any higher
I need you to rekindle this fire
You're my greatest protector, defender
So to you, oh to you...I surrender.

Well, I've had it.
I'm shutting the door.
I've fought the good fight
Then fought it some more.

The world is so dark and dreary
And I am so incredibly weary
That I'm sure I no longer see clearly

So, I surrender to you
I did try my best

QuestionsI stood before the Lord one day and asked him where he'd been,
When all the bad things in my life threatened to overcome.
His answer was a simple one,
As easy as can be,
I'm always there no matter what,
Although you can't see me.

Recall the times you sat alone,
The times when you were hurt,
I sat beside you all the while, whispering comfort.

You know the time you ran away?
I gently led you home,
You see? He said with a knowing smile, you never were alone.

I gave you all you prayed for, and cared for all your needs,
And though you some times went astray, I answered all your pleads.

Now go my child and be a light, So all of man

Bible Verse 1Every day, the world
wakes up to nothing but darkness.
Each never different
from the last because
the light never comes.

Then, He came.
He took
each person by the hand
and said, "Hold on.
I will show you the way."

Each person,
now seeing the light,
now walking the right path,
begins to wonder,
why did He come?
Why is He here?

He looks at each one,
and with honesty in his eyes says,
"Hear my Love for you.
See my Love for you.
I am here to Save, not to judge."

Each person ceases
to question and begins
to see the light of the world
that was once consumed by darkness.

You areYou are the BEGINNING to my STORY,
You are the LIVE to my LOVE,
You are the BEAT to my HEART,
You are the RHYTHM to my SONG,
You are the AMAZING to my GRACE,
You are the REASON for my LIFE,
You are the STRENGTH when I can't STAND,
You are the BIG in my BANG,
You are the SPARK to my FIRE,
You are the INSPIRATION to my ART,
You are the VOICE to my WORDS,
You are the INDESCRIBABLE to your LOVE,
You are the ROYAL to my BLUE,
and You are the GRAND to my FINALE.

God's Promise

God’s Promise

Who is with you when Satan’s lurking?
When he’s watching you fall, always smirking.
Who is there when your troubles are deep?
And the mountains are steep
Through the valley of the shadow of death you creep?
When your life is spiraling out of control,
When anxiety, hardship, and temptation tear away at your soul;

Just when all begins to seem lost,
You remember the man who paid a great cost;
The deed which promised us eternal life
To forgive us and save us from al

Requiem for a PrayerRequiem for a Prayer

Not of this world
In which I live
And which I'll leave

I renounce my existence
As a mere reflection
Of You

You, the mirror
In which we see all things
Yet never see You

I came to believe
These things to be real
And You the grand illusion

But without You
Those things can't be
And of their own have no reason to be

The nothing between my praying hands
The nothing in our speaking mouths
The nothing that can't be

I never knew how to pray
To pray humbly
To pray

To have faith
Is to see the mirror
Beyond the things it shows

I see everything through You
And owe You my every breath
My homecoming, my death

RedemptionOpen the pearly gates of heav'n
Release the angels bright
Cast away this desperate dark,
Illuminate the night.

Slay the beast within my soul,
That wretched creature kill
Mold and shape my broken heart,
Bend it to your will.

Seal the cracks and patch the holes,
Make the wounds a scar
Mend the flesh into the mark
That sets me far apart.

Hold me close, hide me away
From worldly lust and greed,
Help me see the simple truth
That you are all I need.

Like puppets on strings please guide my hands
Toward good instead of bad,
And set the standard I should keep
So diligence I may have.

When the day comes you'll return
I'll stand b

Come my child, it's time to leave
Let me take you from darkness and need
Let me lead you towards the light
Stay no more in this dark night

Voice 2
God, oh God, why have you left me?
To wallow in pain and in misery
I know the answer, please just go
Leave me here in my sorrow

I am not worthy to see your face
I belong here in the darkest place
I'm sure you've got other things to do
Other people to see more worthy of you

Voice 1
My child, my child, take my hands
These scars match yours, please understand
I bled and I died so you would see me
I bled and I died so you could be free

Free from this darkness and all this pai

light insideForgive me my Lord,
Please forgive me and never leave me
Protect me to the end,be the light for my eyes
Be my path to the eternal Life!

When I can't cry,when I shouldn't show my tears
They anyway come down into the endless valley
and I cry inside
regreting my faults,searching someone by my side

Oh,how much I want to be under your wings
forever,my Lord!
Give me the strength to follow you to the very end
as the ways to you are horribly difficult;
and the thoughts of you are deep and mystical...

My God forgive me my sins,because I've never
done them on purpose,
Because I regret them everyday more and more
Because my tears are fal

I am what I amNot without effect: that's what your grace is,
While I wander here to there and place to places.
And I have this tender soul that craves you, you, Lord.
But this war waged in me is not fought with sword
But with prayer. What a wretched soul I am!
I tear my heart wholeheartedly from the "I Am."

And I fight you
            And I crave you
And I lose you
            And I have you

I spit on you
And I flirt with death

               And I revi

MiracleWhat of the girl, purposely blind,
Standing tall in the crisp-fallen snow?
She heard the announcement, saw the bright lights...
And yet she refuses to go.

I am the girl, resolute;
I may hear the footsteps tonight,
But I've no call to hark any angels;
I'll rather put up a fight.

It makes no sense that you'd work this way
Why here? Why now? Why for them?
Among the dust, among those that despise you,
Who would, rather than worship, condemn?

The soft, pale glow in the late-night sky
Shines on the footprints, steady and slow
As camels pass by me, laden with gold,
And yet I refuse to go.

What nonsense is this, that you would entreat

Heavenly DaysThough I shouldn't show my tears...
I cry inside,every single night
Where's the peace?!
God please show me!
Fill me with your wisdom
to open the doors on the path of the Life!
Where are Heavenly Days?
I wonder but there's nothing coming
in my mind!...
God please make the blind eyes see the truth!
Erase the dark nightmares,awful dreams those come,
destroy them all!
As You are powerful and Your name is
Praiseworthy!
And now even if I can't go back to improve
my old self and even all ways are cut
at Present, I have Faith in Future,because
God is the future! and I have Hope in Him!
I praise My Lord always,and even when I
sleep

How Could I Ever DoubtHow Could I Ever Doubt

(The following is a true story.)

How could I ever doubt? I fight doubt constantly but in many ways I wonder to myself why? I ask myself this because of something that happened to me in 1995. Although I guess I should start from the beginning: I lost my dad in November of 1992 and in my senior year of high school the only thing that mattered to me was my family.
However for some unknown reason that year a freshman decided he was going to fight me but would never attempt to do anything unless he had at least 6 friends with him. So one day it came to blows and I put him on the floor hard. After that he would tell m

Forever in Him

by *MournfulEyes, Sep 3, 2009, 1:38:46 AM
Literature / Poetry / Spiritual / Urban & Spoken Word

Every one of nature's whispers
I feel Him now in everything.
Once I longed to see Him but then I realised
everything I look at He
is within.

Now I look at everything as if
I were looking at His face.
In valleys and mountains,
the delicate whisper of a butterfly's wing.

He is everywhere.
He loves me more than life itself
He gave it for me so I could be with him.
Forever.
