The Fix

Feeling it was all set up
Feelings of needed mending
Needing an injection of a spiritual high
Needing to see from the mountain top
Emotionally my flesh has tendencies of the past
Emotionally I need a boost, a jones for a fix
The sins are not in the temptations
The sins are in my own desires
Your word says to renew my mind
Your word promises you are enough
Refine me so you may have your way
Define me so that I may know your ways
This marriage is not a contract
This covenant is what I long for
It’s you I desire
It’s you I believe
I don’t want a temporary fix
I want to know your eternalness
From glory to glory
Not from fleshly highs
From journey and stories
Not condemnation that made a whore of me
It’s your love that’s everlasting
It’s your sovereignty that’s overpowering
Night will be Day
Dark into light
You alone are lord most high
You alone I fix my eyes

Glitch

Zip, zip what was that
Zrrp, click, pow what is it now
Was it the momentary laps of reason
It was a lesson for the season
A periodic glitch
So that ones may know the fix
The Lord is sufficient and kind
Keep forward and renew the mind
Momentary, of this earth
Eternal be your focus
An everlasting birth
Hope not in the unseen, but what is written on your heart
Not the serge, but the even-flow of eternal power
Glory to the one on high

Release Me

So I’ll act like I don’t care
Feeling lack of control, I don’t desire it anymore
I wouldn’t push, I couldn’t make you love me
Freely I want to give, freely I want to receive
It’s a parallel after all
How do you fight for something that’s not yours?
It was never mine to own
Stewardship, on loan, no guarantee, not obligated
Wouldn’t want to prostitute myself because I’m bored
Though it gets easier and light is my restorer
The darkness lingers to want to take my hope
Your promises oh lord are not bound to me
I ask lord you would fulfill me
Truly only you could know me
Inject me with the serum of your sovereignty
Ending these thoughts of misery

Let it be Me

I dream

I dream of a lover by my side
Seashore dreams, starlight kisses
Children climbing, fighting for their Dad’s attention
I dream of a land not yet determined
Faces of joy, even in the midst of perseverance
Father to the fatherless, respecter of women
Men intrigued with integrity
I dream of hearts abandoned to true love
Passion for a king, a friend, healer, redeemer of all things
I dream of reckless abandonment worship
Free to be whom he created
Dancing over the brokenhearted
Trampling over the backs of the deceiver
In the core a worthy lamb, roaring freedom in all hearts
I dream of the earth transformed, Darkness made light
Valley’s lowered, crooked ways made straight
Rough places made smooth
I dream of a lover running for the embrace
Engaged with a glance
Pursued with a heart qualified by the redeemer
I dream of you

Where are you Lord?

I fought and I fought to ask where you are
I lost and I lost the sensing feel that you are always near
Then I cried and I cried for your mercy to overwhelm
Then I died and I died for the longing was unbearable
So you whispered and you whispered a soft spoken voice
The calming stream of your name.

Risk

Risk I never knew you
For if I had I would have pursued you
Lifesaver strapped, wadding in 2 foot danger
Safety in numbers, I waited for splashes in anger
Not really risking at all
Stuck in this pensive song
Refine, define, and muse me into your splendor
Heart strung in resounding melody
I jump to meet my destiny
You were waiting there
Landing will be my testimony

Hope

Hope:
-to cherish a desire with anticipation.
-trust
-to desire with expectation of obtainment.
-to expect with confidence: trust
Proverbs 13:12
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.

Love is not a proximity but the intimacy of hope in ones heart.
I long to be near, yet still, do you even know who I am
How do communicate the fact, vulnerable to my own hidden pride
As if the very circumstance would define me
I don't want to go by emotions, if I did it would be poison
Even in anxiousness I dream, yet still grounding my feet
Fear of not how it could be, but in how it should be
Do i hear the voice of the one calling me
Complacency it seems you have the best of me

Lord where would you have me, when will my heart believe
Have I let my testimony define me
I need your urgency, mercy and supremacy
I acknowledge it's not about me, though at times I've made it out to be
Though you don't feel near, i will hope in your intimacy
my heart is yours, but I ask if it's time you would release in me

The desires locked up, it pierces even my thoughts
To release a song unto you and you alone
would it honor you, would it bring you glory
Path my journey, ignite my yearnings
The truest dance of your splendor captivating
You alone will and can satisfy
