Going Home

With my last breath,
I will shout to the Heavens.
I won't cry,
When Death takes my last breath.
And my soul shall arise,
And My Spirit shall fly.
To the lover of my soul,
The one who's in control.
And I've waited for the day,
Since I can remember.
The pains of this life,
And the Love so tender.
My body shall rest,
While my Spirit goes Home.
To Heaven with My Lord,
And I shall bow before his throne...
And Rejoice!

Starlight

High upon the mountain tops,
I can see the world with oceans blue,
I can see the love inside of you,
From a distance, I can still hear your voice.
My heart can weep from a single song,
The Love inside never dies,
The dreams we share don't say goodbye,
I pour out my Love every night.
I get this feeling every time,
As each moment passes by,
When I'm all alone,
And I feel like I am done.
Starlight, Starbright
Bring me a dream tonight.
Starlight, Starbright
I dance beneath the heavenly light.
Starlight, Starbright
Here's a wish I wish tonight-
Bring me home to my love,
So we can dance beneath the stars above,
In Love.

Face to Face

Lord, I pray...
Wash my stains away,
Cleanse me from my sins.
Create in me a clean heart,
Give me the strength to win-
This battle that I'm fighting,
This anger in my heart,
For the evil that has me chained.
Temptations all around me,
Trying to make me fall,
Into a life that I have left,
When you broke down the walls-
of a heart full of evil,
And filled it with your love,
Of a mind full of iniquity,
And turned it for your Glory.
I thank you for your Mercy,
I thank you for your Grace,
I thank you for your love,
One day I'll meet you-
Face to Face.

Partakers of Grace

My spirit is willing,
But my flesh is weak.
His Grace is sufficient,
Perfection is what I seek.

Why do I do the things I do?
Why do I say the things I say?

We are partakers of his loving Grace,
His patience and Mercy cover our days.
His forgiveness and his endless love,
Pours out like water from Heaven above.

So when you fall down just shake it off,
Nothing we can do will separate His love,
From us.

I've tried so many times,
To be a perfect son.
Then he tells me the battle,
Is already won.
By faith through Grace,
We are saved.
So don't judge yourself,
We are the chosen ones.

A Stone

Empty promises,
Broken Dreams.
Death and decay,
In this reality.
Why me?
Like a switch,
On and off,
Joy to pain,
Happy to sad,
Alive to dead.
Why am I led?
Like a dog,
Looking for a bone,
But only finding,
A Stone.

Frozen

An empty stare,
A blank mind.
Lost in space,
Time passes by.
Awaiting a thought,
Silence all around.
Reading my thoughts,
Like an open book.
The power to see,
What I hear.
Nothing changes,
Year after year.
I know you know,
The images in my mind.
Like a photograph,
I can't escape the time.
This burden I bear,
Hopeless despair.
I want to be free,
From this insanity.

The Door

Faces in the clouds,
Beauty all around,
Dreamers delight,
Dance in the moonlight.
Death is a door,
To the other side.
Heaven above,
Is open wide.
Dance your way in,
Let the wedding begin.
Love all around,
Let Beauty abound
You are perfection,
Be an inspiration.
Choose a direction,
Share your affection.

Completely

Got this feeling in my veins,
A way to escape all the pain,
Of a broken heart from missing you,
I really don't know what I have to do-
To win your heart,
To take me back,
To forget the pain,
That drove you insane.
You are the love of my life,
I'm proud to call you my wife.
The love in your heart is now clear to me,
I was blinded by pride and I couldn't see.
I got down on my knees,
And I prayed for Mercy.
For everything to be,
When we were happy.
When we were in love,
When we were happy.
Together in life,
Unconditional Love, Completely.

Quiet Man

Tears have fallen,
My mind is numb.
My heart grows weak,
I feel like I'm done.
With this life,
I feel only pain.
This sickness,
Is driving me insane.
I wish it was over,
And all is well.
When darkness falls,
It feels like hell.
Like a sleeping lion,
I'm waiting to roar.
With so much hatred,
To settle the score.
With all who hurt me,
And caused me pain.
And drove this quiet man,
Completely insane.

All is Well

I don't know what to do,
I feel so lost and confused.
I don't know what ti write,
Is everything alright?
Am I deluding myself?
And ignoring all the signs.
This world will eventually end,
Am I on the left or the right?
I've shed so many tears,
For all I've done wrong.
Praying for Mercy,
And for the wrongs to be made right.
Do I deserve to live?
I gave my heart to God.
Only he can forgive,
I believe-
All is well with my soul.

Sometimes

I want to feel good,
All of the time.
Yet sometimes I think,
All I wanna do is die.
Yet I fight to live,
And I'm afraid to die.
I know all things are possible,
With God on my side.

I Cry Out To You

My mind is numb from the pain of possibilities,
My body is dying from the promiscuity.
My heart is bleeding from missing you,
Inside I cry out but a rage is in my eyes.
Why can't I have it my way?
Why is there pain in the things that I say?
I feel like I'm destined for misery,
Although so many times I cried I'm sorry.

Where there is love there is hope,
Where there is light there is love.
The darkness fails to overtake me,
I won't quit until I'm buried.

Free me from this prison,
Of a broken life I'm living.
Tear down these walls I'm building,
Give me the Love that I'm missing.
I cry out to you,
Oh Lord, I cry out to you.

My Beautiful Dreamer

Timeless love and endless skies,
The heavens above are open wide.
For you to dream in the night,
And let your heart be full of light.
My Beautiful Dreamer
Open your hear to the sky,
My beautiful dreamer,
Love with all your might.
Look into the sky above,
And you will see that God is Love.
His Spirit flies like a Dove,
Follow your heart and that's enough.
My Beautiful Dreamer,
Don't let life pass you by.
My Beautiful Dreamer,
Let there be joy in your life.
My Beautiful Dreamer-
Dream again.

Numbing The Pain

Waves of euphoria,
Flowing through my brain.
Blocking out the thoughts,
That drive me insane.
Like floating on a cloud,
My feet never touch the ground.
I close my eyes,
And find comfort in the light.
Silence is all around,
Nothing to remind me.
With my head on my pillow,
Like a blanket it covers me-
Now I'm dead to the world.

I Wish I Was Home

Ever since you've been gone,
There's been a hole in my heart.
You were my whole world,
And it suddenly fell apart.
I tried to find my own way,
But then I began to pray.
And hope for the best,
And let God do the rest.
I wish I was home,
With my family.
I wish I was home,
Where I'm supposed to be,
Not alone...
I tried to kill the pain,
But I only went insane.
In the end...
I have only myself to blame,

I wish I was home,
Will I ever go home?

My Battle

Fighting off my demons everyday,
Trying to ignore everything they say.
My Lord delivers me from sin,
And still they try to attack again.
Everyday I pray for the light,
With God on my side I can win this fight.
When I know the darkness has taken me,
I pray for God to set me free.
I fight this battle,
In spirit and truth.
Sometimes I win,
Sometimes I lose.
Mercy and Grace,
Are on my side.
The sinner in me,
No longer has to hide.
I am saved,
By my faith.
Through God's Grace,
For this I pray...
Everyday.

David and Goliath

Slaying the giant...

He gathered five stones,
But only needed one.
Who would ever know,
He was the chosen one.

Standing up to him,
On that battlefield.
Gonna sling that stone,
Without a sword or a shield.

Like a bullet to his brain,
He struck him down.
He cut off his head,
Showed everyone around,
That God always wins...

He slayed the giant,
With God on his side.
So they won the fight,
With a battle cry...
That God always wins.

Silhouette

Gazing out the window,
At your silhouette.
Wandering about these feelings,
I have of regret.
Waving goodbye,
For one last time,
How my heart cries,
In the night...(singing)

Dance with me,
Dance with me,
Oh don't let me be all alone.

Wandering through this life,
The only one I've ever known.
A perfect love,
I should have known-
I let it slip away,
As time passed by.
Crying each day,
With tears in my eyes singing...

Dance with me,
Dance with me,
Oh don't let me be all alone.

As you walk through the fields,
Can you whisper to me softly?
I'm not alone.
Whisper I'm not alone,
Whisper to me softly,
I'm not alone.

Savior King

When I was weak,
You made me strong.
When I went crazy,
You put right what I made wrong.
And in my darkest hour,
You were always there.
With Grace, Hope, and Love,
To you, no one can compare.
You are my Savior King,
To Whom I owe everything,
You are my Savior King,
To Whom I owe everything.

Bella Blue

My heart goes out to you,
My sweet Bella Blue.
I am a father to you,
I hope love always finds you.
I hope your dreams come true,
I know there's faith in you.
I want the best for you,
And your heart to stay true.
I'm always here for you,
In everything that yo do.
I pray for joy for you,
I know that God loves you too-
My Bella Blue.

The Chosen One

Shades of Blue,
In the shadow of the moon.
Crimson red,
Beneath this riverbed.
I'm walking on water,
Dancing on the clouds in the sky.
Dreaming of my lover,
Waiting for the sun to rise.
Stars in the night,
Circling the moonlight.
The universe spins,
'Round and 'round for Him.
I'm waiting for,
The Chosen One.
The miracle Son,
Who loves everyone.
Who sets us free,
For all eternity.
Believe in Him,
And get Born Again.

Filling The Empty Chairs

I got lost running away,
Living the blues, day after day.
I wish I would have known the way,
How To fill that empty chair someday.

The Chairs are mine to fill,
No heart ever will,
Love you with all their soul like me,
These blues of mine has taken it's toll on me.

A gift from above, you entered my life,
Never knowing the meaning of sacrifice,
Or the one that I would have to make someday,
When I first found out that you were on the way.

I will fill those empty chairs someday,
I will never give up finding a way,
To be there for you every day,
With the Lord, our future is on its way.

All things are possible,
The future is here,
No turning back,
Peace and Love is always near.

My Last Song

I poured out my Heart for you,
From the depths of me.
Love, Hate, and Madness,
For all the world to see.
Who I really am,
And what I feel inside.
The whole world knows it,
I have nothing left to hide.
I' a wretch, a lover, and a madman,
Struggling to be faithful and true.
I hate myself for failing,
I hate the pride in my Blues.
I'm a winner, a loser, and a quitter-
At everything I do.
When my life is over,
My lips will be blue,
From the cold of Death-
Haunting my old room.

Remembered

I am free,
Yet imprisoned.
Happy,
Yet despairing.
I'm smiling,
Yet I'm crying.
The face of a clown,
The mind of a monkey.
The walk of a fool,
The mouth of a rambler,
Soon I will be -
Remembered.

Rhymes

All I do is rhyme,
All the time.
Then I whine,
Then I dine.
With my wine,
All the time,
With my rhymes.

Forbidden Fruit

I tasted the fruit, I took a bite;
Flying like an angel in the sky-
I should have known, it was a lie.
That Dragon only wants me to die.
I felt like I failed you again,
Betraying my only friend.
Like Judas, the Devil stole my soul,
I felt like I had no control.
Am I a failure?
I need my Savior!
Am I a failure?
I need a favor!
Keep my soul out of Hell,
'Cause I have my story to tell,
Of how you made all things well-
With my Soul!

Rivers of Mercy

Well the end is near,
The time has come.
To meet our Lord,
Because he's the One;
Who sets us free,
From a life of sin.
All we have to do,
Is let him in.
He is knocking,
At our door.
He is waiting,
To give so much more.
So let's believe in him,
He forgives us for our sins.
He pours out his Mercy,
Like rivers of water.
He pours out his Love,
Like no other.
Life is in Him,
Forever more.
All debts are paid,
He settles the score.

When I'm Alone

When I'm all alone,
I drown my blues away.
When I'm all alone,
I forget about yesterday.
When I'm all alone,
I blame myself anyway,
For all the wrongs I've done,
I wish I could've stayed.
I cry and cry and cry,
Wishing I would die.
I cry and cry and cry,
Praying I don't die.
I cry and cry and cry,
Pleading for my life.
Wanting the pain to end,
This broken heart will live again.
When I'm feeling lonely,
I hear the angels speaking softly,
It's time to take a stand,
Put that guitar in your hand.
And sing these blues away,
For my troubles have gone away.
The past may be broken,
But the Lord is all knowing..
When I'm alone.

Saving Grace

You are Messiah and King
The Lord of all things
Perfect in all of your ways
Light shines from your face
Full of beauty and Grace
We give you thanks and praise
Jesus,
You are the lover of our souls
The one who is in control
Who saves us from evil ways
You are the Merciful King
The God above all things
Author of our saving Grace
You are with us everyday
You are Messiah
You are Mercy
You are Everything
You are Saving Grace

True Love Never Dies

Romeo and Juliet,
A true love we won't forget.
They died in each other's arms,
Victims of magic charms.
They fought until the bitter end,
A letter brought but late it was sent.
Brought Romeo to his death,
Proclaiming his love with his last breath.
True love never dies,
Even when our hearts cry,
From the poison of evil,
From our hearts through the steeples.
Juliet saw death foretold,
When Romeo's love was bold.
Their hearts never grew cold,
Even when death took it's toll.

For You

You have a place,
Deep in my heart.
You have a hold,
Over my soul.
There is a fire,
Deep inside.
And it burns,
Out of control....For you.
For you,
I would climb the highest mountain.
For you,
I would break the chains that bind you.
For you,
I would give my one last breath.
And if you're lost,
I would search the world to find you.
And if the darkness closes in,
I would light the fire deep within-
For you.

Open For You

The disappointment in your voice,
Rips through my heart.
The silence in your words-
It's not your fault.
It's my failures,
That let you down,
Even when I feel happy,
I cause you to frown.
I'm so sorry,
For not being there.
I cry out from my heart,
Just how much I care.
Please forgive me,
For the man I'm not.
Please love me,
With everything you've got.
The door of my heart,
Is open for you.

Perfect Dream

I dreamed a perfect dream for you
My heart was always there for you,
Then my tears were so blue,
Then I died inside for you.
The pain I had drove me insane,
I tried to drown in the rain,
Ripping pieces from my brain,
Memories that caused the pain-
But another day dawns,
And it gets better everyday.
Farther from the times,
When evil had it's way.
If I could turn back time,
If I could find a way,
To make each day,
Perfectly stay...
In that Perfect Dream.

For My Paw

Here's some country for my Paw,
To remind him in a song.
Of some Johnny and Hank,
You can take that to the bank.
The roots in these blues,
Fill his country shoes.
Gotta follow with some Elvis,
A little rock-n-roll to help us....
We remember all the good times,
And give thanks to the Lord,
For our Lives.

Your Embrace

It fills me completely,
When your love is so sweetly,
Placed upon my heart,
With your love's embrace.
I know I need it now,
After the times I went without,
When I was full of doubt,
Of your Love's embrace.
And I can see it in your eyes,
As the tears fill up mine,
I wish I could stop time,
And live in these moments of mine.
Whenever your love covers me...
With your embrace.

Dead Man Walking

I should have been dead,
A long time ago.
Yet I abide,
Beneath the shadow-
Of the wings of an angel,
Who brought me back to life.
Each day I take a breath,
Gives Glory to the author of life.

Bestowed

I write and I write,
Yet nothing seems right.
I sing and I sing,
Yet, is it a vain thing?
The deeper I go,
The more of me shows.
That I am truly blind,
To the Blessings bestowed.

?

What is sanity?
Amidst this vanity.
What is this pain?
In the healing rain.

End Of The Age

If you water a flower with acid,
It will die away.
If you raise up a generation in hate,
Will they fly away?
Like a bird leaving it's nest,
Never to return.
Oh the world reaps,
And soon it will burn.

Nine Lives

Oh this feeling, this feeling-
All it is, is a feeling.
No truth, but a lie,
That for some have died.
As I've done,
Many times before.
Yet, I still live,
How many times more?

Duality

I used to love myself,
Now I hate myself.
Not for what I was,
But for what I have become.
Although the eye can see,
The fake part of me.
If I gave you a knife,
Would you take my life?

Life Line

The comfort from above,
Overwhelms me from above.
In my darkest hours,
God sends me flowers.
When I think that hope is gone,
And I expect it to end,
There he goes again,
Another angel he sends.
To Rescue me,
From myself.
Why do I do?
All the things I do.

Shackled

I believe in light,
But I hide in the dark,
Like a scared child,
Left out in the wild.
I feel so all alone,
I feel like a clone.
Some kind of drone,
That keeps me alone.
What have they done to me?
What is it that I can't see?
I shacked myself in chains,
To hide others from my pain.

Reaching For The End

Up and down,
And back again.
Never knowing,
When this is gonna end.
I numb my thoughts,
And pour out my words.
Feeling like nothing,
Could ever change my world.
An empty house,
I filled with despair,
Crushing all the love,
So I wouldn't care.
Waiting for the feeling,
The groove settles in.
Soon I'll start my journey,
Reaching for the End.

Treading Water

I can feel this river boat,
Sinkin' as I cross this moat.
Headed for this castle of Death,
Praying for one last breath.
I reach the riverside,
With my life not far behind.
Treading these waters...
Swimming towards eternity.
Swaying side to side,
My life before my eyes.
Flashing before it's time,
For me to say goodbye.

Mirror Of My Soul

Another night,
Another dream,
I've been here before,
oh so it seems,
Deja vu?
Dead man's stare,
I hold a candle close,
So you can stare,
Through the glare,
Of the light in my eyes.
What do you see?
A reflection of you on me.
Keep your mirror glance,
I don't want the chance,
Or you corrupting my beauty,
Through the mirror on the wall...
Of my Soul.

When The Lights Go Out

What would you so,
if it were dark?
Would you cry like a child,
Or go so wild?
Like a madman,
Searching through the night,
Reaching for any glimmer of light.
Holding on to the hope inside,
Thinking silently,
How did I die?

A Poet

A poet and my stories,
Fact and fiction both liked.
I feel I have a voice,
Whether or not I am liked.

Called

I was called to preach "The Word,"
The I became absurd.
Falling into every trap,
With a bulls-eye on my back.
I've been choked in my sleep,
By spirit beings I could see.
They would sparkle in the dark,
Then, as I whispered "Jesus",
They would depart.
I've been haunted in my dreams,
I've levitated in my bed it seems,
I've been scared all of my life,
Of the truth beneath the lies.
Still, I believe in God,
I have comfort in his Staff and Rod.
What we see is only a part,
Of a bigger puzzle-
That's been there from the start.

Delusions of Grandeur

I called myself "The Father",
I called myself "The Son".
I thought I was being worshiped,
As I stood in that Church.
With my arms lifted high,
My thoughts caught in a lie,
I'm lucky to be alive-
I died so many times.

Bag Of Bones

I saw a face in the sky,

That mirrored me.

I heard him talk,

So pleasantly.

Then he hid himself,

Where I couldn't see,

Yet still revealing his words,

And talking invisibly.

Telling me I was the "One,"

The only begotten Son.

What a fool I was to believe,

What my mind had seen.

It all seemed so real,

Yet it made me feel,

Like I was so old,

And my existence foretold.

Now I plainly see, 

That he still creeps around me,

Waiting for me to be alone,

So he can torment-

This Bag of Bones.

In The Water

Wading in the water-
Of time, precious time.
Looking back, here, and there;
How could I not despair.
Treading on the water-
Of life , O precious life.
Wondering how we die,
When so many times-
I was kept alive...
We drown.

Table For One

Floating down this bayou,
That's filled with my blood.
To a lonesome island,
With a table for one.
I light the fires in the dark,
I lay the stones beneath the arc.
I dig my grave this fateful night,
I lay my head beneath the moonlight.
I saved a penny for your thoughts,
While you wrote down your remarks.
About who I am to be,
And why this has happened to me.
So I cry again for you,
Because I know you love me too.
This heart won't stop breaking,
Now my life is yours for the taking.

Silent Cry

The shadows on the wall,

Cry out a silent cry,

For all of those innocent lives,

For all of those who died.

The atoms in the air,

Split and brought despair.

The thunder in the night,

Brings the darkest light.

Can you hear,

The mothers weeping?

Can you see,

Souls that are fleeting?

The blood is on our hands,

Of all those seeking,

Shelter from the war,

That is reaping.

We have become death,

The destroyer of worlds.

The blood in the ground,

Cries out a silent sound...

Of Innocence.

My Love Returns

My Heart cries out in my sleep,
My dreams are journey's that I keep.
In my love's castle is where I sleep,
For the years I've missed her I do weep.
She way "Watch me dance,
watch me dance in circles"
She says "My heart's for you,
My heart's for you so smile."
She returns from her travels tonight,
Her eyes are so blue and so bright.
She wraps her arms around me so tight,
With a smile she kisses me goodnight.
My Love Returns...

Transfiguration

Transfiguration...
His two prophets appeared,
The one who split the waters.
And the one who called down the fire,
Then a bright cloud appeared.
The voice of the Father,
Said "This is my Son,
In whom I am well pleased."
O' hear him, O' hear him...
His face is shining like the sun,
His garment is as white as light.
They fell to the ground,
Humbled, not proud.
Face to the dirt,
Shaken, but not hurt.
Transfiguration...

Angel Of Death

The blood covered the doors,
The blood covered their souls,
The land was plagued again,
The Angel of Death appeared for him.
And yet a hardened heart,
Kept an empire torn apart
Until freedom was pure
And the chosen secure.
The Angel of Death,
Appeared that night.
The Angel of Death,
Took the firstborn lives.
He appeared in the night,
In the sky he flies.
He's coming for you,
But, you've got the Blood.

Broken Again

A mended heart,

That had been healed.

The time it took,

To be revealed.

A love so pure,

It hid beneath,

The shadow of,

A White Dove's Wing

I broke it again,

With a cold, cold heart.

I broke it again,

I watched it crumble apart.

I watched the day,

Pass on by.

Wondering always why?

My heart broke as I cried.

I missed the chance,

For love again.

I took for granted,

My best friend.

Nobody

I ain't botherin' nobody,
So just leave me alone.
I ain't got nobody,
To leave me alone
Pay no mind,
To this mad guitar in my mind.
Help me find,
A way to come back home-
So I won't be all alone.
I won't bother nobody,
When I'm dead and gone.
Pay no mind,
To the wild pen in my hand.
The words I find,
To make insanity sound like a friend-
'Cause he's always at home.
I ain't botherin' nobody
So just leave me alone-
So I can just go on home.

The Masquerader

He was perfect in all his ways
Until pride cast him into sin.
As he fell, that bright son of dawn,
He caused the fall and soon will be gone.
He appears as an angel of light,
He can see your darkest frights
That lion, he stalks his prey,
But he will burn in Hell someday.
Watch with your eyes,
Don't be drawn away by that light,
That shines for all the world to see,
Delusion won't overtake me.
The Masquerader....
He puts his mask on,
Searching for his next pawn.
Don't let him steal your life,
The King above can step in, alright.
Take his glory,
Take his fame.
Don't let that dragon,
Put you to shame.

Lady Of Fatima

This Lady has some secrets,
The first a vision of hell,
The second a warning of war,
The third a vision of death.
She calls all to her immaculate heart,
She calls for peace and unity.
She's in the image of the Blessed Mother,
She appears here and there like no other.
Amidst the shadow of death,
The Vicar proclaims she saved his life,
He says she stayed by his side,
Now her crown is where the bullet resides.
She warns of death,
She warns of judgement,
She warns of war,
And she comes in peace....
Lady Of Fatima...
She comes in peace,
All dressed in white,
She appears for love,
And is full of light.

Weeping Blood

And she appears there,
All dressed in white.
Is this a sign of truth?
Or a sign of the times?
And the tears fall...
And the blood falls...
Do you see her weeping?
Do you see them kneeling?
Do you hear her calling?
Do yo know why she's crying?
She's Weeping Blood...

To Be Or Not To Be?

A war is coming...
Do you believe what your eyes can see?
Or is this just another reality?
It's time for the truth to be told.
What God of your heart do you uphold?
And the spirits are all around,
Some of us are lost and some are found.
Can you tell Heaven from Hell?
Can you tell the truth from a spell?
To be or not to be deceived?
Do you ever question what you believe?
Have you found the truth among the lies?
Buried deep like a treasure, don't compromise.
A war is coming..
The end is near.

The Smile

I can feel your love,
Even when you're not here.
I can hear it in your voice,
The smile that hides the fear.
Hot and cold it seems to be,
This heart changing inside of me.
Everyday is love or pain,
Nothing will ever be the same.
Can we heal this broken love,
With a miracle from above?
Hope is such a precious thing,
Within it, lies everything.
My dreams, my love, my fears,
Through all of these, are my tears-
For you.

The Door Of My Heart

So now you want my heart,
After you tore it apart.
So now you want my love,
Like an angel sent from above.
Should I open the door,
and let you back in?
When I tried so hard,
To be with you again.
And when you told me no,
My heart had no place to go-
Nothing to complete that part,
Of the true love we had at the start.
Like salt upon my wounds,
I cried and cried for you.
Now that the scars have healed,
What am I supposed to do?

Saying Goodbye

It's so hard to say goodbye,

Through the tears that we cry.

To someone we love so deep,

To someone we want to keep.

We will meet again, 

We don't know how or when,

But the hope in our hearts,

Will never keep us apart.

We remember the love,

That burns in our hearts,

We forget all the pain,

That keeps us apart.

To Say Goodbye

If I had to say goodbye,
I'd say it with a smile.
'Cause I've lived all I could,
And went the extra mile.

I Cried The Love Out of Me

Ready to give up,
Nobody understands,
The truth is a hard thing,
When you know not what it is.
Waiting for that train to Heaven,
Sitting here with my ticket-
At the rest stop near hell.
Why oh, why do I fall?
I say I have it all.
Yet I feel fake but free-
'Cause I cried all the love out of me.

Armageddon

Armageddon...

Wouldn't I look good,
With a fist full of blood?
Wouldn't you look nice?
You'll never think twice.
Of what,
Vengeance could be.
Or what,
You will see...

Wouldn't you look fine,
Now that you are mine?
Wouldn't you hear me,
Calling you to the sea?
To join me,
Again and again-
For what you began...

A fist full of blood,
Is all I see.
Dead bodies,
Around Me.
Dripping,
From my hands.
Vengeance,
Is upon this land.

A fist full of blood...
Armageddon.

My Shadow

I tell this tale,
From deep within.
A roaring demon,
Jumped out of my skin.
It scared the life,
Back into me,
It followed again,
With pain and misery.

There's a shadow stalking me,
Where only my eyes can see.
It hides behind every unlocked door,
I am gonna settle the score.

Hatred I have,
For every evil thing.
Yet I find,
Sometimes I sing.
Of the things I hate,
But some adore.
I'm trying to hide,
But still there is more, to life...

Why, O Lord, does it chase me?
Why, O Lord, did it overtake me?

Open Your Eyes

Have you ever thought,
What hides in the dark?
Have you ever seen,
What makes you bleed?
Have you ever known,
How far not to go?
Have you ever believed,
Or have you been deceived?
Open your eyes,
See in the night.
Open your eyes,
There is always light.
Even in the dark,
There is always light.

This Lonesome Night

Sitting beneath the porch light,
Waiting for the torchlight,
To send this fire to the moon.
Steady as the moonbeams,
Frailty has it's own dreams,
Sometimes the sun rises to soon.
But we light up the dark,
Like a firecracker spark,
An explosion of light,
Fills this lonesome night.

Laying My Heart Down

When you come knocking at my door,
I hope you find me on the floor...
Laying it down, now.
I'm laying my heart down to you,
I'm bowing my knee down to you.
'Cause I love, my Lord...

Since You've Been Gone

I've seen the best part of me wither away,
I've seen the heart in me slip away.

Since you've been gone,
A new day has dawned,
Upon my soul.
Since you've been gone,
I waited so long,
Out in the cold.

I've seen my train pass me by,
All I can do is hang my head and cry.

Regeneration

The future is in the past if you can see,
There is another generation yet to be.
When we are immortal and set free,
Death and the grave will no longer be.
Like angels we will live in eternity,
The Love Supreme will always be.
The generation of regeneration,
Building the temples from our imagination.
The generation of regeneration,
Our creation to our creation.

Bury The Pain

Have you ever stared,
Deep within yourself,
And found someone else?
Have you ever tried,
Prying into your eyes,
And finding only lies?
Sometimes I see,
A beast within me,
That I'm trying to set free.
Sometimes I fear,
I'm not alone in here,
I can only shed more tears.
Bury the pain,
Don't go insane,
Don't ever place the blame.

Sons of Thunder

Here we are,
The Sons of Thunder.
To wake the souls,
Of all who slumber.
A patient heart,
Once I had.
Now I cry out,
Like any who's mad.
All I ever wanted was true love,
A sign from Heaven and a gift from above.
We're the Sons of Thunder-
Hear the Thunder Roll...

Survival of the Fittest

One night I was walking through a graveyard,
I sang to the bones "rise up again".
To my surprise, I was caught up in my mind,
When does this Gospel I read all begin?
Why be consumed with death?
When there is so much life.
Why let your heart grow cold?
When you are called to survive.
Walking a thin line between Heaven and Hell,
My God has given me all of these stories to tell.
If you play with fire you can get burned,
I ain't no monkey, I'm a child of God returned.
Keep your guard up,
Death is stalking you.
Like a lion he waits,
To devour all of you.

She Waits For Me

Dancing in the night,
I can hear her darkest fright.
Under the pale moon.
Where she'll be there, soon.
In her lover's arms,
I'll keep her safe and warm.
And when the ghost delight,
I'll be there in the night.
And she waits for me...
In that summer night.

Pressing On

I've seen days dark and few,
Where love was gone and I was a fool.
No longer will I bow again,
To the serpent who said he was a friend.

I'm pressing on,
Now that my heart's right.
I'm pressing on,
Until the day I take flight.

Those bittersweet memories,
Will soon vanish away.
Those nights of misery,
When all I could do was cry.
I'm pressing on....
Until the end.

Dear Peter

I met a man while fishing one day,
I said to him while you can, throw your nets this way.
Take your life and toss it by the wayside,
There is life in every word that I abide.
Holy fire,
I will give to you.
Holy fire,
In everything you do.
Your mission is that of love,
Revealed to you from God above.
After I rose from the grave,
I gave my life so all can be saved
The tongue of fire rested on his head
He was given words that some did not understand.
Heal the sick,
Raise the dead.
As I bruise that devil,
On his head.
.

Feed Your Soul

Your treasure may be gold,
But my treasure is dirt.
The burden you put upon my back,
Has torn a hole in this shirt.

That leads,
Straight to the heart.
That needs,
A brand new start.

As I drive faster and faster
And the speed of thought is pure light
I try and avoid this disaster,
And block out all the lies.

I feed your soul from my veins,
My blood will not drive you insane.

When I'm Done

When the party's over,
And the music has gone home.
I can't help but feeling,
All alone.
When the morning sun,
Shines through the window.
And I lay my weary head,
Upon my pillow.
I cry and cry and cry,
Thinking I would die.
Hoping for a new day,
When I'm not afraid, anymore.
So many things left to say,
So many reasons I should stay.
I think my hour has come,
My Lord tells me I'm done.
I ran through this life,
Like a train off it's track.
I can see the tunnel of light,
And there's no turning back.
I cry and cry and cry,
knowing I would die.
Starting on that new day,
Now I'm not afraid, anymore.

One More Dance

I may be down,
But not defeated
On the ground,
With my heart bleedin'.
Crying out,
For another chance.
Crying out,
For one more dance.
As I sing to you,
I open up my soul,
And cry out,
From this broken heart,
That needs another start.
This wounded soul,
Lost all control.
Forgive me, my love.
Pull the knife,
From my heart,
And stop the bleedin'.

Deadboy

Deadboy,
They'll never be,
Another one who dreams like you.
Deadboy,
I'll never be,
A devil in disguise to you.
I can't sleep,
When I think of you.
Nightmare screams,
That haunt me too.
I can't sleep,
Since I met you.
The devil inside,
Came out of me,
As I screamed...
The rage I had,
I should have been dead.
I was blind to see,
The white plastic soul,
In front of me.

The Sign

Down in the hole under the water,
Lies that king snake's burnt father.
A place where the bayou bends,
A place where the blues begins.
The sign at the end of the road,
Says you've reached the end of the world
Die, serpent, die.
Die, dragon, die.

Snake Bitten

I was snake bitten...

Forgetting myself again.

That poisoned fruit,

Crept into my veins,

Drove me insane,

Whose to blame?

Belly of the snake,

Filled with men's bones,

You can hear them moan,

Like rattles of a chain.

Broken From The Start

I sit here alone 

By the telephone

My soul awaits

until my spirit breaks...

I've stayed up at night

I've cried and I've cried

I've wanted to die

But still my spirit waits...

Longing for the touch of your hand

Dreaming of my time to make a stand

Hoping for a new start with your heart

Knowing we've been broken from the start

Building A Temple

When the Blessed One came,
I was only to blame,
For the wretchedness,
In my soul.
I heard him proclaim,
Victory, no shame,
For the Forgiveness,
Of my soul.
I'm Building a Temple,
In my Heart.
For Him to dwell,
That's where it starts.

Drowning Her Misery

She comes into the room with a heart of misery

I light my cigarette as she walks up to me

I look into her eyes and see her black soul

I kiss her on the lips like fire on the coals

I look into her eyes again and see

A heart of gold that drowned that misery

A life of pain is all she ever knew

Rolling through this rock as I sing her these blues

She smiles so sweet when we first meet

Now she has a soul and we are complete

The fire I gave her burns deep inside

She has no more fear and no longer has to hide

Drowning Her Misery

With the Fire Inside of Me

 

Black Dawn Rising

Down the Bayou I start to get away,
The devil has turned his wrath on me today.
The black dawn rises for me today,
He spent two dollars to have me blown away.
I jump right in,
Let this tango begin.
How far to go,
To the Gulf of Mexico.
By Midnight it seems,
I got away clean.
That black dawn rises
When I start again
Black Dawn Rising...

Blood In The Bayou

The cool wind blows across the bayou tonight
The sunlit moon cast her glow across this night
Shadows of spirits roaming amidst the mass
The fog settles as the tide of blood moves in

Roux-Ga-Roux
I can hear you sing these blues
Roux-Ga-Roux

Howl tonight on this blood bayou
Transform your dance under the stars
I see your black soul in the scar's of their hearts
You pulled them in the cold water below
Filling this bayou with blood as you go
I

Found My Heart

I lost my heart on an open road
Then you found it for me
You make you own luck
So I been told
I've been gone way too long
Can you find me so far away?
I sing a song since you've been gone
Can you hear me so far away?
My heart fell into the dirt
And then you found it for me

The Shining Son

When all there's left is a dim memory

When Babylon falls and all are in misery

There's nothing left but dust and air

The world's light can't compare

To the shining son

The only one

Whoever is and was

And yet still to come

Haunting My Heart

Such a trivial thing
Such a burden to sing
The weight of your love
Upon my weary shoulders
Trapped inside
This ghost of a mind
Looking for the evening sun
Praying that the day is done
Inside the blues
I will try not to lose
Your heart again

Black Moon Rising

Way down here on the Bayou

The bones of the wretched dance

When will you learn

That drinking blood is a sweet romance

Haunting the streets of New Orleans

Under the Midnight Black Moon

Eclipse my heart again

As the Howlin' Wolf begins to swoon

Mississippi Gost Queen 

Callin' all her riders

Black Moon Risin'

So light the fires...
Black Moon Risin' tonight

Letting Go

I'm letting go
Of the dream I once had
I'm letting go
Of the hopes in my head
I'm letting go
It's better left unsaid

I'm not the man I used to be
But still I feel this guilt in me
I broke your heart many time before
Now it's time to close that door

My Golden One

Like a sunset in a morning moon rise
I see the beauty in your eyes
Brought back from the depths of pain
You were content to be insane

Arise my Golden one
Let's see your beauty like the sun
Shining for all the world to see
Without ever turning back on me

Scars on your heart from the dagger is done
Into the sunset the morning's gone
Wounded so many times
How I've cried from all the world's lies.

New Dimension

Out of my mind
And into your head
Visions of chaos
You'd wish you were dead instead

Crawling on the floor
Some death forseen
They will yell and scream
Join us the war is not a dream

The light will pierce the darkness
The pure will rise again
The strong will ride with him
Faith will bring you to.....
A New Dimension

Close your eyes and see the light
Through your spiritual eyes

Graveyard Blues

All I want for you and me
Is unity in our souls tonight

Dressed in black and white
The man in black and the ghost in white

All she had had was love in her heart
They had a fateful start
Then the end came
Then the blues came
Put flowers on my grave

All she wants wants is for you to be free
So be free as can be

I sing those graveyard blues
In my blue suede shoes
I sing those graveyard blues
In my pitch black suit
A little JR and the King
From my soul I sing

I got these graveyard blues again
I know I'll be raised up again

You and Me, Unity
In the graveyard blues tonight

Can You Hear Me ?

The masses are cryin' out,

For someone to bring 'em out,

From this mental slavery,

To free them from the adversaries.

Can you hear me callin'?

Callin' out your name.

I cry out to you,

Get up on your feet.

Fight for your freedom.

Take a stand, against the man,

And show 'em what you mean.

All I Want

All you want,
All I need...
Is to be free,
Free indeed.

Would you send flowers to my grave?
Would you free me if I were a slave?
Would you lock me up or let me go?
Let's get our fix and get on with the show.

Show 'em it's alright, tonight...
All I want...

Where Do We Go From Here?

Tell me my love,
Where do we go from here?
Tell me my love,
Does your black heart even care?

Ridin' that train,
Then it came to a halt.
Ridin' that train,
Buying the ticket was my fault.

Now I'm at the station,
Should I go left or right?
Northbound or southbound,
I think I'll just take a flight...

Down to New Orleans,
'Cause Bayou Blood is in my veins.

Stop Dragging Me Down

Ya know I gotta quit you baby,
'Cause all you do is drag me down.

Ya know I gotta quit you baby,
'Cause all you do is roam around down.

You took every piece of my heart,
And danced like a sweet romance.
But then you cut me like a knife,
Now I gotta hole in my soul for life,
and I just wanna die...

Stop dragging me down,
And throwing my heart to the ground.

I just got one more thing to say,
Stop throwing my heart away.

Castles Of Time

Floating down the castles of time,
With Angels wings we press on.

Get your groove on,
Get your groove on,
Blue suede shoes on,
Before you're gone.

I know that there's stars in your eyes,
The moon above it shines on.

Let your loving heart,
Be filled with loving light.
Let your loving light,
Be filled with loving heart.

Groove Dancer

She's a groove dancer,
She's a romancer,
She's out tonight
To show me the way.
When you see her in the dark,
She lights up like a spark
Entering your dreams,
Lovely as it seems.
She's alright...
Shake it downtown...
Tonight yeah.

The Blade Of A Sword

Through this darkness when I roam,
I know it's a long way from home.
I hear the ring of the telephone,
I answer the call but no one is home.
This anger in my heart,
Was there from the start.
Hatred rooted in fear,
At least my conscience is clear.
Can you feel the pain,
Running through these veins.
A broken heart hurts more,
Like any blade of a sword.

The Invisible World

I'm right back where I began,

The former me is now a man.

A fresh start or a detour,

I try to see, but I'm not sure.

A crossroad in my life

Should I go left or to the right?

A cross road in my life,

Better be in before midnight.

Flash backs start again I see,

Visions of spirits all around me.

I know the Truth is real,

Now I can see and feel,

The Invisible World...

My Last Stand

I'm gonna sing,
Like it's my last song.
I'm gonna live,
Like there's nothing wrong.
I'm gonna fight,
Like it's my last chance.
I'm gonna win,
Then I'm gonna dance.

I'm gonna give,
All I've got.
I'm gonna believe,
Whether or not,
You see me,
For who I am.
I'm gonna make a stand,
For the life of this man.

Chasing A Dream

When hope is all I have,
When my love still holds on.
To something I'll never have,
'Cause your heart is gone.
I can only dream about tomorrow,
And forget yesterday.
I'm releasing all my sorrows,
For letting our love slip away.
I remember the good times,
And forget about the bad.
Like listening to the wind chimes,
And hearing a song I never had (before).
Forever chasing a dream,
Forever hoping it seems.
My heart belongs with you,
Or forever singing these blues.

Cries From The Deep

As this madness slowly breaks,

I can see the light of day.

As the willow begins to weep,

I can lay my soul to sleep.

The sun is fallin',

The skies are callin'...out my name.

The moon is risin',

This groom is cryin'...out of shame.

As my heart cries from the Deep,

The love I gave is the love I keep.

The shadows haunt me everyday,

Still, I fall on my knees and pray.

Can you hear my cries from the Deep?

Field of Blood

Have I been a Judas to your heart?
A kiss of betrayal from the start?
The blood on my hands floods this field,
But my soul tells me our love is real.
Can you forgive this broken man?
It only seems to be quicksand.
My love for you is so true,
But my heart is always singing the blues.
I crucified your loving soul,
Driving the nails in with my words.
I sent my love in poems but no one heard,
Now I will hang my head low, until I'm dead.

Almost Home

I can see it in the distance,
I can feel it in the air.
I know you really love me,
I know how much you care.
I've waited for so long,
When hope was almost gone.
But now you've come back to me,
And I don't feel all alone.
I'm almost home, I'm almost home.
No more wandering all alone.
I'm almost home, I'm almost home.
No more feeling like you're gone.

My Quest For Love

I would climb the highest tower,
To reach your lonely window
Like a knight on a quest,
I would cast away all the shadows.
I would sail the deepest oceans,
To reach the shore of your heart.
To forever embrace your love,
And let nothing tear us apart.
I want to be your hero,
I want to be your everything.
I would wait for you forever,
Until that day, I would sing...
I pour out my heart,
Into my songs for you.
I pour out my love,
For the hope to be with you.

Into The Mirror

She's a lot like me,

Trying to right some imaginary wrong.

Jumps right in with both feet,

Finding peace within a song.

Two destined souls,

To meet upon this earth.

To be away from her,

Is the only time it hurts.

I look into the mirror,

And I see apart of her,

The best part of me,

Is the Love I gave to her.

The Joker's Tune

The Joker's Tune
(Quotes from the movie "Batman")

"Have you ever danced with the devil by the pale moonlight?"

"Oh, little song, little dance."
“I have given a name to my pain"
"I have a bat in my belfry,
Shall we dance?”

"Have you ever danced with the devil by the pale moonlight?"

“I'm only laughing on the outside,
My smile is just skin deep ,
If you could see inside I'm really crying ,
You might join me for a weep.”

"The skulls... the bodies...
you give it all such a glow!
I don't know if it's art,
but I like it!”

"Have you ever danced with the devil by the pale moonlight?"

My Solitude

Alone in my world,
My day has turned to night.
Nothing to touch my heart,
Tears have blinded my sight.

A single flower,
Withering away.
I have no one to talk to,
Nothing to say.
A drop of water,
In an ocean of pain.
Of these things I have,
Only myself to blame.

I knew it then...
When the tears fell like rain.

Walk With Me

A loss for words,
A loud silence.
Screaming quiet,
Echoes of space.
Time stands still.
Still time stands.
With an open hand,
Walk with me again.

Is this The End?

Tell me my friend,

Is this the end?

Have I traveled this far?

Put my pennies in the jar?

Paid the ferryman's toll?

Done enough to save my soul?

With a Word it began,

As so it must End.

Final Peace

There's a window in the sky,

I see a widow through my eyes.

A bright light appears,

The songs of Angels in my ears.

Clear is the night sky,

My soul sings and I fly.

Through the Heavens I cry for release,

Given my life for a final peace.

The Mighty One

I was lost and then he came and found me.

Didn't know where to run and then he came and saved me.

He opened the door to Heaven and invited me in.

Oh the Mighty One has spoken, I'm forgiven.

When I was young I heard all about him.

Somewhere along the way I forgot about him.

Then he knocked again and invited me in.

Oh the Mighty One has spoken, I'm forgiven.

I'm talkin' 'bout Jesus,

Lord Jesus.

The Mighty One,

The King of Kings.

Eye Spy

Eyes in the wall,
Ears outside the window.
Someone's peering in,
To my life's crescendo.
Spies in the skies,
Bugs under the table.
Cameras on the computer,
Microphones in my tv,
What do they want from me?

Make It Rain

Comfort in isolation,

Gratitude for affliction.

The inside outs,

Of some addictions.

Secluded from the world,

Insane from the pain.

Make me numb again,

Make it Rain.

A Second Glance

Alone and happy,
Alone in despair.
Both of my worlds,
Seem so unfair.
But I'm the lucky one,
Who got a second chance.
Some would have killed me,
Without a second glance.

The Awakening

The Cool Breeze Flows,
Gently across my face.
As I fade into oblivion,
With so much of my disgrace.
My mind is numb,
From some wretched sin.
The fire inside has gone out,
Burned up from within.
Awaiting the awakenings,
When my body comes to life.
Desperately craving the feeling,
Sometimes cuts me like a knife.

The Fall of Man

World obsessed,
A world possessed- 
By riches and glory,
Let's review the story...
God Created and it was good,
Upon the Heavens and Earth he stood. 
Then Lucifer fell from high above,
Because he ignored Jehovah's love. 
Adam fell into a trap, 
Because the devil was on his back.
Now he has to plow the ground,
Building his cities among the mounds.
Women now weep and wail, 
In childbirth, they do travail. 
A brother killed his brother, 
The blood cried out to his another. 
A man was called to father a nation,
The stars of the sky,
Number his Generations.
Empires grew and fell,
Dreams and visions were given to tell.
A tower reaching to the sky,
The people trying to conquer the Most High.
Soon it all came crashing down.
The people were scattered from town to town. 
So the world was divided in parts,
Only evil is in their hearts.
So God sent of flood one day,
And wiped the earth and sinners away.
But then hope arrived through a dove,
A sign of home and a brand new love.

A Song Letter

Look in the mirror my friend, 

What do you see? 

A pair of guilty eyes,

Not so different from me. 

Fingers point and people accuse,

That's why I sing the blues. 

Tell me again why you hate me so, 

I'll tell you where you can go. 

Man is a man from his heart, 

Although that's not always where it starts. 

Bred pain and hateful hearts. 

Bring forth a man with scarred marks. 

So tell yourself you're no better. 

As I send you a song letter. 

We washed the stains away,

And made art out of  molded clay. 

So quick to throw away, 

Something you may love someday.

The Return

Visions complete,
The picture beneath.
The sky above,
The Heavens breathe.
The return of Love,
The end supreme.
Angelic Host,
Divine Scheme.
Eyes opened,
Dead come alive.
End of suffering,
End of lies.
A mighty thunder,
A White Horse.
A King enthroned,
A Kingdom Come.

"Hallelujah!"

Deeper

Deep, Love, Heart, Soul-
Existence, Creation, Omnipotent, Gold.
Treasure, Quest, Journey, End-
Death, Grave, Silence, Again.

The Silence Grows Dim

In a whirlwind,
The mighty forces at hand.
The storm is raging,
No peace in this land.
I hear them crying out,
But I am helpless to save.
My heart is pouring out,
I can only see the graves.
Looking for a window in time,
When I could have made a change,
Peering through the stained glass,
Looking for a way to rearrange.
My cold eyes stare ahead,
With emptiness behind them.
Anger and pain floods in,
And the silence grows dim.

Long Way From Home

I'm a long way from home,

This earth on which I roam.

My heart aches for you again,

My lover, my love, my friend.

I've seen the darkest days,

That sometimes have no end.

I've seen the darkest hearts,

Searching for one true friend.

My love, I weep for you.

How our love is so true,

Few and far between,

This dirty heart is now clean.

I dream of that day,

When I'm no longer cast away.

I dream of our love,

That was destined from above.

I'm a long way from home,

No longer will I roam.

I can see you in the sunrise,

How your beauty brings tears to my eyes.

When I am with you,

I am Home.

Heavenly Hearts

Open your eyes tonight.
Heavenly hearts,
Open your eyes tonight.

Let the people sing,

O' Jesus,
Open my eyes tonight.

I will sing,

With my heart I sing,

Silver Dream

The ups and downs,
The inside outs,
You've been through it all together.
And now your here,
After 25 years,
And it only seems to get better.
Smile another day,
And kiss your troubles away,
Hand in hand you'll stay Forever.
The love you share,
Will conquer despair,
And keep you strong here on after.
Now look ahead,
Where the road has led,
And dreams you have come true.
And if life gets too tough,
And you think you've had enough,
Remember the love,
That has kept you together, Forever.

Every Minute

I see two hearts of gold,
Two spirits so strong.
In all the world ,
I could have never longed-
For a more perfect love.
Unconditionally yours,
I open my heart to you both.
My wife and my daughter,
I profess my oath...
To love you both,
Until my very last breath,
And hereafter when I've left-
This wonderful mother earth.
Each day I await,
To hear the joy in your hearts.
Each day I embrace,
This Blessing from the start-
Of a life given to me,
That once I was blind to see.
But, I see all the beauty,
In every minute you're with me.

The Vulture Eye

Beneath the floor,

Of this hollow room.

Lies a Tell-Tale Heart,

Of a dead groom.

Once betrothed,

To a beauty so fine,

Of sonnets and love-

Many thousands of lines.

But my heart enraged,

From his evil eye.

I shall prevail,

And He shall die.

I lurked around,

His humble abode.

And took a look,

At his vast wardrobe.

Garments dipped in blood,

From his conquered quest.

And a vulture's eye,

Fell from his nest.

Here is the beating,

Of his hideous heart.

Death watches in the wall,

As I tear him apart.

Death has stalked,

With his black shadows before him.

Death has conquered,

The vulture eye from within.
Death has stalked,
Death has conquered.
You're gonna die,
The Vulture Eye.

The Sower

Lord, your words,
Are above all others.
Even above the anointed,
Sisters and Brothers.
Of all the truth,
That I've known.
The truth in you,
Are the seeds you've sown.

On My Way

I know I'm not alone,
But I feel Lonely.
I know I'm not afraid,
But I feel scared.
I know your with Lord,
And I'll soon be there.

My Cross

Please help me carry my cross,
Don't kick me when I'm down.
For even our Lord and Savior,
Three times fell down.
My cross is not as big as his was,
But it's my own true thoughts.
That the battles of my mind,
Some of them I won, and some I lost.
God's door is always open,
He's always there for me.
Like a firm foundation,
A mighty oak tree.
So whenever I see that trouble is near,
I look up to him and cry.
Lord take me out of this trouble I'm in,
And please don't let me die.
For his yoke is easy and burdens are light,
But somehow I fall in,
To the snares of that wicked one-
Who delights in our sin.
But Grace has made me able,
To get back on my feet again,
For when I wrestle with myself,
Each day I begin with fresh Grace again.

Hole In My Heart

I feel better when I'm insane,
Because I don't have to feel the pain.
I'm trying to wipe the memories away,
And running toward that dying day.
Why is it the faster I run,
God above says "I'm not done".
He wants me to face the pain,
And dump this insanity down the drain.
I've always had faith in him,
But struggled to keep the faith within.
I gave up on myself long ago,
Stopped caring about which way to go,
Stopped worrying about losing control,
In the end I'll pay the toll.
To cross that bridge to the other side,
Where I'll lay myself down to die.
But my body will only be asleep,
While everyone I love will stop and weep.
And maybe read my cries for help,
And pray my soul stays out of hell.

My Last Song

If this were my last song,
That ever flowed from my pen.
I want you all to know-
What could have been,
If I could do it all again.
I would have been a better man,
Smarter and wiser than I am,
I would have seen the mistakes,
Before I made them,
And made the choices-
I should have made.
I would have been better to all,
I would have seen it all,
The beauty in everyone,
Instead of all the faults-
Which reflected my own self thoughts.
I wouldn't have drowned myself,
In the river if high times.
I wouldn't have given up,
I wouldn't have to write this song,
Saying that I'm sorry,
For the pain that I have given.
Only crying from my heart,
Wanting only to be forgiven.

The Mississippi Ghost Queen

Down here along the bayous,
I've seen the Mississippi Ghost Queen.
Drifting through the swamp lands,
In my nightmares and my dreams.
She's inviting all the spirits here,
Then, taking them one by one.
Then capturing all the sinner's souls,
'Till The Captain says she's done.
The fog beneath the Bourbon Moon,
Conceals her dreadful path,
A midst the screams of the passengers,
You can hear The Captain's laugh.
She sings "come all you travelers,
Who want some wine and strong drink.
Meet the infamous Captain,
He's really not who you think."
Don't say I didn't warn you,
I been livin' down in New Orleans.
I've sailed upon that vessel,
Through my nightmares and my dreams.
Way back when the mutiny began,
That sailor didn't prevail.
Now he's Captain of his vessel,
That's headed straight to Hell.
The Captain was once a sailor,
Who fell from his Righteous Maker.
There's a ship down in New Orleans,
Who's called the Mississippi Ghost Queen.

All My Regrets, I Regret

So you say you want me dead,
For all the cold things that I've said.
For all the wrongs I couldn't make right,
For all the times hate blinded my sight.
I know the things I have done wrong,
So it's all right here, in my song.
Years gone by, and still I cry,
For all the regrets that I regret.
You know that I still love you,
I'll keep sayin' it 'till my face is blue.
I lost my mind, somewhere back then,
I didn't know now what I should have been.
A true friend, a true friend,
Someone, you could depend on 'till the end.
The past is done, and so am I,
Maybe you even want to know, why?
I was born with a scar upon my heart,
That always would get ripped apart.
I'd bleed the pain back onto you,
And sewed it back into these blues.
I'll be sorry my friends, until the end.
If I could start it all again-
I would have been true, faithful unto you...
And would have wrote "no regrets" in my song,
Now we can all sing along,
"All my Regrets, I Regret"-
In my song.

Deep Within

Reflections of pain...
First I received,
Then cast them back to you.
Born into this life...
I blame myself again,
At times, I don't know what to do.
But then, I only reflect-
The ghosts that haunted me,
When my life began...
Trapped inside my head,
Thoughts that never came true.
Some so good, some so bad.
Some so beautiful, some so sad.
Sometimes, I only think of myself,
And forget the troubles you're in,
Then I reflect that pain deep within.
I hide from it all,
And bury myself,
Deep within my sin....

Adam's Cry

Moonlight warps my eyes tonight,
It cradles me in my darkest fright.
I gently cut my thoughts away,
She took a walk with the devil today.
He walked into the garden,
And poisoned my innocent soul.

Kiss the sky for which has fallen,
Kindly consume what I have spoken.
Daylight brings these blues away,
Carry me near my lover's window.
He walked into the garden,
And poisoned my innocent soul.

The sweetest sounds I hear,
Hide my soul in fear.
I fell from my first love,
And now I'm naked to hear...
He walked into the garden,
And poisoned my innocent soul.

He crept inside my head tonight,
Lord, can you find me by morning?
He crept inside my head tonight,
Lord, can you find me by morning?

Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time,
In a land not far away.
People were so kind,
And love was meant to stay.
Then the Queen came,
And swept it all away.
But only for a time,
Then love was here to stay.
Once upon a time,
Dreams did come true.
The magic of the heart,
Was so pure and so true.
Light is breaking through the darkness,
Love is piercing the cold hearts.
Remember the feelings of happiness,
Once upon a time... is a new heart.

Everlasting Father

When I fall down,
You pick me up.
When I cry,
You dry my tears.
When I lose Hope,
You send me love,
When I'm empty,
You fill me up.
Everlasting Father,
You Love me completely.
Everlasting Father,
You Love me eternally.
Your Love is unfailing,
Your Grace is amazing.
Your Son is my Saviour,
There is no replacing,
Your love.

I Surrender

Walking on this winding road,
Revelation to unfold,
The nature of God's true love,
He's guiding me from up above, again.
I reach my hands into the sky,
With my heart I ask him, why?
What I've done to deserve this love,
He answers me from up above, again.
And still I breathe,
The promise made to me.
Completely Broken,
I surrender,
God has Spoken,
I will remember, His Love.

Risen King

Jesus the Risen King,
Creator of everything,
And I give my life to you.
You are the King of Kings,
Our God above all things,
And I give my heart to you.
You rose from death to life,
You were the sacrifice,
Jesus, you are my King.
You are the chosen one,
God's one begotten Son,
Jesus, the Risen King.
And I Praise your name,
And your Love proclaim,
You are the author of life,
And I know that You are my King.
Rejoice, rejoice!
Rejoice, rejoice!
Rejoice, rejoice!
The Father welcomes you in.

Miracle Son

He was born in Bethlehem,
Formed by God's own hand.
Given to a Blessed mother,
Destined to be like no other.
A Miracle Son,
Was born to save us.
A Miracle Son,
Who gave his life for us.
His name is Jesus,
For God is with us.
He came to set us free,
And to live eternally.
He carried his cross,
And searched for the lost.
Proclaimed for all to see,
He died for you and me.

Prince of Lunacy

Sit I trip, I trip to you
Hanging babies on the wall.
Like pictures from this hell,
Take another one for me.
Wake dream, nightmare scream,
Throwing down my past again.
Pulling forth the lust within,
My dancing days are dark and few.
Here lay and think of you,
Saving my last breathe to who.
Maybe the answer,
Lies only in you.
In fear lies death,
In spirit we are free.
In death lies myself,
Awakened from you.
Bastard Prince of Lunacy,
You know the king beneath the streets.
You have knelt and washed his feet,
At your own dark table.

Get Back Up Again

When you get down,
Get back up again.
When you get low,
Scream rise again.
When the rain is pouring down,
And you're feeling drowned out.
Put your hip boots on,
And wade 'till the water runs out.
Wading in the water...
When your heart is feeling blue,
That sadness grows inside of you.
Slap it in the face,
And kick start these blues inside of you.
Wading in the Blues water....

Crept Inside

Moonlight warps my eyes tonight,
Cradle me in my darkest fright.
Gently cut your thoughts away,
And take a walk with the devil today.
Kiss the sky for which has fallen,
Kindly consume what I have spoken.
Daylight brings these blues away,
Carry us near my lover's window.
The sweetest sounds I hear,
Hide my soul in fear.
He walks into the garden,
And poisons the innocent soul.
Crept inside your head tonight,
Can you find me by morning.
Crept inside your head tonight,
Can you find me by mourning.

Cry No More

Take this pleasure I send,
Said the voice of a prophet,
And send it again.
Your caskets of fear,
Hide the empty shells of myself.
Corrupt no more,
The strings in my spine.
Remember the voices,
What they whispered so softly.
Say goodbye and move slowly away,
Cry no more and feel no pain.

Shell Of A Man

Trapped inside this shell of a man,
Insanity has brought,
Dominance of my land.
Peace be this maker,
This conquest of lust,
Prominant forthcomings of trust.
Bittersweet my death inside,
Awake we lie in our graves tonight,

Dancing Doves

Sleeping Angels in my room,
The sweet smell of tenderness.
Melt this broken heart,
And fill me completely.
Blessed are the innocent,
Dreaming of dancing doves,
Humble me again,
When my eyes are closed.

Prying My Way

Your darkest light,
Breaks through my window and speaks.
My ears bleed in spite of this mourning.
Scents of mist circle you completely,
And wet the tongue that cut me slowly,
And carved inside of me what I couldn't see.
Break away in parts that are sweet-
Watch me as I devour you, neatly.
Gentle and I, this lover, this friend.
A slow end I will soon descend unto you-
And cry once for your black heart's desire,
And scream twice, for this time I am the liar.
Prying my way- So I'm inside,
This fantasy of an obsessed mind.
Prying my way- so you confide,
You swallow the truth I fed to you.
Smelling my fears again,
I feel this disillusion in me.
Consumes the mouth of sanity,
And scratches like nails of luminosity.

Echoes Of Her Soul

And I die again,
In my lover's arms.
The red candle burns,
This hatred to the ground.
And I cry again,
I'm finally releasing the pain.
So how I learn,
She's the angel of my heart.
And she sings to me,
Echoes of her soul,
And she sings to me,
Echoes of her soul.
Flowers in her heart,
Her beauty blossoms from within.
She soothes my soul,
And cages the beast inside of me.
Deep inside my veins,
My blood now runs gently through.
Only she can tame me,
And simmer the flaming fire.

Dreaming I Had A Friend

Reflections in the mirror once again,
The sadness turns away my friends.
Trapped in this broken heart,
Praying, I return to the start.
I've seen the Angels start to cry,
I've wished for another life.
Living to see the end,
Dreaming I had a friend.

Into The Moonlight

I am thinking of you,
My sweet blue.
Into the moonlight,
We ride tonight,
On this subtle ground,
We call Earth.

All I Have

When I'm down,
My God is still good to me.
When I stumble and fall,
My Lord sets me free.
All I have and All I am is for God.
All that I have and all that I am,
Is for the Father, the Son, and the Spirit.
Let us surpass the times when I fell from the path,
I shall run to the Cross,
So the Blood that's flowing shall save me.
Yes, Lord Jesus.
My Healer and redeemer.
Comfort me in this time of hardship and suffering.
You are our light Lord,
Please give us strength.
And you are here,
And you are all I hear speaking inside of me,
It echoes my mind,
With me until the last cloud fades away.
And we ascend,
With the Kingdom here and his Will be done.
We ascend and renew our bodies.
We ascend,
And rise with the light of the world.

Let Us Fly

Jesus commands us,
To love each other to the fullest.
So that we may strengthen the harmony,
within the spiritual realm - of humanity.
Connected by God's love,
Through the Holy Spirit.
We are all bodies on this earth,
For a short time.
Like a mist in the cool breeze,
That will pass away.
So let us fly, peacefully-
So let us fly in love.
Let us transcend,
Our spirits with God's,
To renew our empty hearts.
Open me up,
Pour your love out.
Lift me from the dirt I'm in,
Wash away my many sins.

Thank you

Thank you for the good times,
That stuck in my heart.
Even through the bad times,
When I would fall a part.

Imagination

Imagination is reality,
not yet achieved,
Through time and space.
Imagination is planned thought-
Think and we live.

Healed In You

Give us strength,
In you we trust.
Our broken hearts,
Are healed in you.

Journeys of Love

Journeys of love,
Trails of sorrow.
What tomorrow brings,
We shall rise up.
And fight for,
The Glory of God.

My Honor

As long as the nights are long,
You will be here with me.
As long as the sweet summer dream,
Dances in the mind of myself.
My Honor.

Sunlight

At night I dream of,
The great light,
Inside his soul.
All is above,
God is above.
We must
Rise up, Rise up.
Timid not,
Fair Lady.
In your sweet eye,
Of sunlight.
Sweet Lord,
Rise up,
Fight for me,
I know you win.

No Place Like Home

If there's a twister in the sky,
There's no place like home,
With you, with you.
Jehovah, Father
Mighty King of Kings.
Storm side highland healed,
Over again she smiles.
Look up for revival,
Send us a sign,
Of Love.

Precious Love

Uncover me from this blanket of sadness,
Uncover me from this temple of madness.
Open my heart to love again,
Fill my bones deep within my soul.
Because all I saw was black,
All I saw was black.
The fire in my heart attacks,
The evil that turned my back,
On Precious Love.

The Grace of God

Things will never be the same,
It seems like the world's to blame.
For life's gotcha down,
For a minute or two.
But When you look up to the sky,
And scream to God, "Why"?
There's only one answer to satisfy you.
Our Father has a place,
For everyone in his heart.
And where we are today,
Is only the very start.
The Kingdom is at hand,
The Grace of God is here.
So thank Him for the good things,
That's given through the years.
Thank Him for the good times,
You've spent with your family.
Thank Him for the answers,
And the dreams that are meant to be.
Thank Him for the goodness,
That lies in each one of us.
Love Him forever,
And forever in Him, we trust.

Look Ahead

Now look ahead,
Where the roads have led,
And dreams have come true.
The love you share,
Will conquer all despair,
And keep you string here on after.

Eternity

An eternity with you,
An eternity with you.
To feel your heart,
An eternity with you.
Feel my soul,
Fill my soul.
With your Love,
With your Love.
An eternity with you,
Is all I'll ever need.
An eternity with you,
Is all I'll ever need.
You feel my heart,
You feel my soul.
And it's all for you,
And it's all for you.
An eternity with you,
An eternity with you.
I open the door,
To my heart.
And let you in...

For My Wife, Kelly

Love in your eyes,
Beauty in your heart,
Nothing will ever tear us apart.
Endless seas, oceans blue-
I give it all to you. 
I lift you up,
I give you our dreams,
A perfect life by any means.
A marriage joined by God,
Never to be torn apart.
The seas have roared,
The storms did come,
Left us with our hearts,
Washed clean of tearing us apart.
We've made it through,
The good times and bad.
Never again,
Will I let you be sad.
I give you my heart,
I give you my word.
I give you my hand,
To hold as I stand.
Upon this rock,
The new me-
I am free,
We are free indeed.
Blessings of a daughter,
We share them so well.
You are the best mother,
I have only good to tell.
Your Love, kindness, and patience,
Help keep us free.
You are strong, bold, and beautiful,
A mighty queen in my eyes;
Passionate enough to embrace,
The rest of our lives.
I Love you completely,
I Love you so true,
Every minute of the day,
I fall more in love with you.

To The Sky

I look to the sky to see the future,
I look through my eyes and find you there.
If your broken and torn apart,
Let's get right back to the heart.
I try to disguise my true feelings,
I only find my heart open and bare.
I've been waiting,
Here so long now.
No hesitating,
You belong there.

New Heart

Sunlight crashes in,
Tomorrow brings today.
Explosions of new life,
A birth is on the way.
Await and I'll find you there,
Awaken your heart to me.
Await and I'll find you there,
I will set you free.
An angel descends upon,
A broken heart made new.
The Cross defines the soul,
A new heart will be true.

Dogs of War

The dogs of war are runnin',
Faster than the eye can see.
Controlling the hate within,
Unknown soldiers are dead to be.
Guns in their hands,
Evil in their eyes,
Disposing of life.
Chanting your gonna die,
Chanting your gonna die.
The dogs of war are livin',
Somewhere inside of you.
The passions of their heart,
Some believe to be true.
Bleed within,
Back to life.
Breathe within,
Never gonna die.

Angels

There are angels all around me,
There are angels all around you.
They will lift us up,
And keep us in all of our ways.
They will lift us up,
In their Heavenly hands.
Speak to me my angel,
I can hear your sweet, sweet words.
Speak to me my angel,
I can hear your sweet, sweet song.
Singing, Holy is the Lord,
Holy is his name.

A Mother's Fire

Cold and broken,
She came in.
Scared and so afraid,
Of what the world let in.
Sometimes she feels,
So alone.
Sometimes she cries,
To be alone.
She looks up to the sky,
And the heavens rain down.
He fills her heart again,
When she's hit the ground.
She looks up to the sky,
And sees another day.
A mother's broken heart,
Is healed again today.
She's living for a girl,
Who just came into this life.
She's starting all again,
With the kingdom in her mind.
The fire's in her heart,
And it's sure gonna stay.
Her love is for the Lord,
And her daughter's dreams today.

Entrancing Moments

The sunlight dances in your eyes,
And sings it's sweet song to me,
I melt with you.
The wind carried me home,
Gently caressed your smile,
And sent it over to me,
I smiled again.
Endless entrancing moments,
Discover our love again.
Lost amidst the thrill of it all,
I cried when she brought me back again.

Sleep In The Storm

I look to the sky and I see,
A storm rolling in all around me.
I look to the east and there I find,
A road that leads to my bitter end.
I look to the west and I cannot deny,
There I've been broken and buried again.
The world may be crashing,
My life may be flashing.
My heart is still carried by him,
I can sleep through the storm I'm in.
Lost in my world of doubt,
Searching for my faith.
I look behind to the road that I passed by,
Where the troubles have come my way.
I see the road that you've got me on,
And the wings you give me each new day.
Of all the burdens I have,
Of all the troubles I face.
None are too heavy for me,
None are great for Grace.
Into the Storm...
Into the Storm...
I look ahead to the road I'm searching for,
A place where all of my dreams come true.
I look down the road I'm traveling on,
Where my soul is one with truth.
Sleep in the Storm
