Consuming Fire
Holy Spirit
God

Feel my heart
Feel my soul
Remold
Reshape
Reform
Make me a useful tool
Design me for the purpose
You have for me

Lord
Energize me
Wake me up
Ready to spread your message
To those who need to hear

May I never tire of my task
May I forever be a beacon
In the darkness of the world

Lord
Your teachings are beautiful
Honest and true
Teach me to hear your call
And we I do
May I answer that call
With a full hear, mind, and spirit

Lord
May your words
Reach into my soul
May they change me
From the person I once was
Into the person you need me to be

Lord may your Holy Spirit
Beautiful a river of life to me
May it overflow in to my soul

Rain falls from the sky
Rain refreshes the Earth
The Earth drinks the water
Then opens up and belches

I am who I am
Not who you want me to be
I am who I am
No excuses
No holding back
I just Am

I have fought Day after day
To find my own way
My own identity
My true self
I have done a lot of soul searching


After all this I have come to grips
With who I am
I have realize my self worth

I am who I am
If you can't handle that
Who needs you

This iceberg grows
As the cold wind of depression
Courses through my veins

Dance joyfully around to the music
Dance for the pure joy of life
Dance to truly feel free

Do not make me into a form of you
Accept me for who I am
Do not try to change me

There at the street corner he stands
With Bible in hand he preaches
He preaches God's word for all to hear
For anyone with a listening ear

His clothes are
Tatered
*****
Worn
He has been cut by life's thorns

He looks
Weak
Hungry
Worn out
Like a fighter about to be knocked out

Still he preaches
God's salvation
God's mighty plan
Trying to help one and all understand

Sure he looks like something
Someone has thrown out
His love for God is strong
Of that there is no doubt

He's been arrested
He's been locked away
As soon as they let him out
He finds another street corner
And starts preaching away

They've
Beat him
Threatened him
Cops have tried sending him away
Nothing they've tried has worked
He just preaches away

The city has tried
Many times
With laws to confine him
None of them worked
For it's God's power
That defines him

He knows up in Heaven
He'll be homeless no more
His words will then echo
Out forevermore

So next time you see a street preacher
Don't turn away
For it maybe worth
Hearing what they have to say

Biscuits and gravy
Hash browns galore
Pile it on
More and more

Pancakes
Waffles too
Orange juice
Grape juice
It all will do

Sussage
Bacon
My stomach' s delight
Eggs
Toast
It all sounds right

Pull off the pettels one by one
She loves me
She loves me not

Letting the future be determined
By this flower in my hand
She loves me
She loves me not

Drinks
Laughter
Friends
And food

Music
Dancing
If you are interested the mood

Having fun
Hanging out
Drinking
Enjoying time spent with friends

I feel lonely
I feel hurt
A thousand
No
A million tears
Burst from the floodgates
And
Flow as a mighty river
From my eyes

Jesus
Lord
King
My everything

I come to worship and praise
To glorify you
To bring you honor
May I don't right in your sight

My life is yours
Mold it
Shape it
Construct
Me mentally, physically, and spiritually
For the task you have
For my life

Jesus
Wssh me clean
Remove all impurities
Remove
All that gets in the way of living for you
Like the ocean's tide
May your Spirit
Drag away all that is
Unworthy and unholy

Lord
Transform me
Rebuild me
Reshape me
According to thy will

Energize me
Set me on fire
So that I may reach out
To others
And
Bring them home to you
Bring them into the fold

Every step forward
Closer to my goal
Every step forward
Onward I go

I know it's a long journey
To reach that which I seak
Pushing me to the limits
Mentally
Physically
Emotionally
I know there will be scars
Both seen and unseen
But if I give up now
I will never reach my dream

Every step forward
Though the path
Grows rough at times
Though if I keep my focus
All will end up fine

Let me hold your hands
Let me draw you near
Dry your eyes
Calm your fears
Let you know
That I care

Late in the evening
From the cave they fly
Through the air
Searching for prey
On wich to dine

Bats
Take to the sky in swarms
Screeching
As they  go

You monster
How dare you touch
A child in such a way

You monster
How dare you treat
A child in such a manner

Children are our future
They will one day
Running this world

Monsters under my bed
Monsters in my head
Monsters in my life
Monsters day and night

Two
Zero
One
Nine

A new year with new hopes
A year of joy
A year of pain
A year of sunshine
A year of rain

So much to look forward to
In the new year

But first
Stay up until midnight
Party party party
The old year away

Happy New year
To one and all
One year ends
Another begins

New hopes
New dreams
New adventures

May it be the vest year
For everyone

Sitting on the front porch in the evening shade,
strumming on a flattop guitar that was made
to play along with a country song
about a sad heart who was done wrong.

Old Shep beats his tail to the tune,
enjoying the breeze and the croon
of the melodic voice which fills the air,
encouraging the birds to sing with flair.

Friendly neighbors stop by to listen with glee
to the one-man show which is free,
there isn't anything he can't play,
taking all requests on any day.

Favorites are heard and the group is a part
of the dusk-like entertainment considered art,
joining together with voices raised  high,
taking a walk down memory lane with a sigh.

Sitting on the front porch in the evening shade
is a summertime thought that will not fade,
singing along with the guitar,
making sounds in unison near and far.

Verse by verse
I bare my soul
Verse by verse
My story’s told
Ever joy
Every scheme
Every failure
Every dream

Save the last dance for me
Even if it is the only dance
We dance together all night
You can dance
Whith whomever you choose
But please
Save the last dance
Save the last dance
Save the last dance for me

1round of beer
Doing alright
2 rounds of beer
Blurred my sight
3 rounds of beer
Getting a little tipsy
4 rounds of beer
Voice becoming slurred
5 rounds of beer

Who's keeping track here
I lost count
I lost my place
Maybe after number 5
I will just fall on my face

Come and fill me Lord
I am empty and weak

You broke my heart
You tore it in two
Now you want me to take
You back

You made your choice
You chose him
However he cheated on you
Just like you cheated on me
Now you want me to take you back

Why should I
Will things be different
Will you be true
Or
Will you run off with the next pretty face you ser

Me take you back
I DOUBT IT

Sitting at the bar
Drowning my sorrow
Drowning my sadness

She left me
My life is shattered
She left me
Cry my tears

Sitting at the bar
Wasting away
Sitting at the bar
No more left to say

I am not strong enough
I need the Lord
To take my hand

I am not strong enough
I need the Lord
To restore my spirit

I am not strong enough
I need the Lord
To reset my will

Without Jesus
I am nothing
For
Jesus is
My rock
My shelter
My all

Without Jesus
My life is worthless
For only through Jesus
Does my life have purpose

Life is an adventure
Accept it
Do not run from it
For the only way to truly grow
Is by taking on the challenge
To stretch yourself
To reach beyond your limits

So accept life's challenge
Go upon the adventure
Learn all that you can
Grow

I am nothing
No
Less than nothing
Is that really possible
If so
Maybe I am something
I guess that would be
One of a kind

I love you
More than my own life

To fight
To sound freedom’s call
To show my strength
To give it my all

For freedom I have come to fight
If needed
For freedom I have come to die

To risk my life
Through pain and strife
So others may live
So others may sound freedom’s call
So others may give their all

I will not back down
I will stand tall
I will fight the fight
For freedom’s call

I'm not a man.
Just a boy.
What could I possibly understand?
What is there left to enjoy?
My memories will continue to carry on.
Just as long as you can stay strong.
I thought I had a family.
My eyes opened up, I see the reality.
This is a heart broken tragedy.
Please, just save me from my tragedy.
I can't just run away.
I'm stuck. Forced here to stay.
Bury me with all of my remains.
For even after death I'll still live with this pain.
So tell me then, what of me will truly remain?...

Asked the child to their father
"What makes it rain?"
Said the father
"Let me explain."
The father thought for a moment
Then said
"Rain is from the Angels crying,  over a lost soul who is dying."

Party party party

He whirls
He twirls
He tells jokes
He does a little dance
He does this all to make us laugh

However
At the end of the day
He goes home
And cries in dismay

There she stood at the far end of the gym
Red dress  
A blue sash around her waist tied in a bow in the back
Blond hair in a ponytail
The biggest and brightest blues eyes
Focused on me

I stood at the entrance
Black slacks
Black dress shoes
White dress shirt
An awkward jr. high student
Nervous to

Our eyes met
We crossed the floor to each other
Hugged
Then stepped on to the dance floor

She glided along the floor
Like gravity could not touch her
I on the other hand
Stumbling
Clumsy
Oaf
She did not seem to notice
Nor seem to care

We danced a little
Had refreshments
Sat on the bleachers and talked a little

After the dance
We held hands and walked to the front of the school
Where our parents were waiting

We hugged once more
said we'd see each other in class on Monday
Then departed to our parent's cars
And went home

Three days
Three nights
Yet an eternity without you here

I am dragon rider
I fly through the air
Upon the back of my winged serpent

I am dragon rider
Together we seek out
To destroy our foe
To bring justice to the unjust
To right the wrongs
done by evil people

I am dragon rider
When my winged friend and I
take to the sky
Evil can run
But it can ot hide
We will find it
And when we do
We will deal with it

So evil doers
Watch out
Dragon rider is coming
Justice will be served

It's a party
Everybody have fun
The music playing
People Swaying
To the tune
That's going on

It's a party
A time for joy
A time to let go
From all the stress of the day
Relax have a good time

It'a a party
Staying up late
Hanging with friends
The best of times
Never let it end

It's a party
Everybody have fun

Christmas time
Christmas marry
Santa Cluase sure is hairy

Christmas tree
It does inspire
Why is it now on fire

When I said light the tree
That's not what I ment

Christmas time is here
Time for joy
Time for cheer
Friends and family
Gathered round
Love and laughter abound

Christmas time for everyone
Young
Old
Tall
Short
It doesn't matter the color of skin
Christmas time
Gives you a grin

I want to die
To slit my throat
And end it all

There is nothing left
My life has been shattered
My life is in a heap
Of burning rubble

I want to die
To spare others of my meaningless existence

This tortured soul
Yerns to be freed from
This shell of human skin

I want to die
I feel
Alone
Scared
Depressed
All is dark and dreary

I want to die
It seems
No matter how much I care
Everyone still hates me

A culinary dance in the kitchen
To the rhythm of the recipe

Stop the hatred
Join in peace

Put away your weapons
Put away your harmful words
Join in peace together
All around the world

You don't know me
Though you like to think that you do
You don't know the emotionl whirlwind
That is my life

You see the outward me
You see the smile
You think you know me
You know nothing

You know not
My past
You know not
The torment and pain
That past has presented
You know not
The cobwebbed corners of my mind
And what darkness lurks there

Don't tell me
That you know me
You know nothing
Your words make me sick

Woke up this morning
Raised my weary head
A knapsack for my pillow
A park bench for my bed
There’s a police man yelling at me
names running through my head
I’m a man on a mission
Preaching out salvation
With my Bible in my hand

I was born into this word with a mission and a plan
Preaching out the good word across this barren land
I know the task will not be easy but with the lord I’ll take my stand
Preaching about Jesus and the devil, about Cain and Able, and about the promise land

I’m preaching out your words of glory
Saving lives with the truth
I’m preaching out your words of glory
You sent your son to die for me so now I give my life to you

As I walk across the world and see the soulless sin of men
I pray the lord’s forgiveness will be placed upon their heads
I pray for my own forgiveness for I to am a sinful man
For I’ve seen God’s glory that he sent to me to help me change my ways

I’m preaching out your words of glory
Saving lives with the truth
I’m preaching out your words of glory
You sent your son to die for me, so now I give my life to you

As I lie down at night
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I pray forgiveness for everyone that I meet
Lord I have to ask a favor and I hope you understand
For I’ve lived life to the fullest as a boy and I want to die like a man
Starring down the devil let me make my stand

So he can be shot down
with your words of glory
saving lives with the truth
I’m preaching out your words of glory
You sent your son to die for me
So now I give my life to you

To write
To explore one’s thoughts
To write
To question one’s being
Venturing into the darkest
Corners of one’s soul
Grabbing hold of the truest
Person of your heart
The truest thought from within
Your own mind

To write
The great exploration
Of one’s own soul
To try and understand
Who you are
Where you come from
What you are to do
Questions asked
Yet never answered
