Burning Heart
There is a fire in my heart that is burning me It hurts so deep I wish you could understand and see It's not because I hate you But rather I said something untrue I love you and that's why I feel so much pain I feel like my life is never without rain The clouds roll over my head And getting up everyday I do dread I miss laughing and smiling with you I miss sharing stories so true I miss the joy I used to feel I miss the love that was so real I cared too much that's what's wrong here I wish you could once again hold me near But although all things are possible if you just believe To think "we" could once again be is only to myself deceive I regret the choice to let you go If only how much you did know I miss sharing my cares I miss the jealous stares I know now why I'm writing this It's because you my heart does miss I will never forgive myself for giving up on us And now I must alas say thus I love you now and always will And the hope I have fades every day that you love me still For how could one love when one is betrayed |
Fear
When you're scared And are wondering if people care Finding that you're in the dark And all you need is a tiny spark To light up the room And you realized that things are different than what you had assumed The monster as tall as a bear Is simply your jeans hung over a chair All over the world little girls and little boys Whose rooms are filled with many toys Imagine monsters all about And wake their parents with a shout In they walk and turn on the light And ask what gave you such a fright You now realize by the shadows you've been deceived And your courage is retrieved As your parents leave they turn off the light And you're once again swallowed into the darkness of the night But the shadows that gave you such a fright Are made clear by a light The mood peeks in and tells you to go to bed And as you do dreams of wonder fill your head No monsters and no more bears And you now know that your parents really do care |

God-Given Beauty
My beauty in God is found The opinions of the world don't get me down I don't wear the latest fashion For finding beauty in God is my passion I won't mask my face with color or shine I'd rather claim God's beauty as mine I don't fit in a size zero dress But this causes me no stress To what my outside in this world amounts Holds no bearing on my inside where it truly counts I'm not afraid of the mirror Because in my head a verse I hear It tells me God knit me together in my mother's womb By remembering this I am leaving the Devil no room To enter my life where beauty is concerned Away from the world's standards I've turned Why should I place any value on what people say When I know God made me to look this way My eyes are brown; my hair is red God knows the number of which cover my head I'm a social butterfly And I don't have to ask why God-given beauty isn't hard to find You just have to weigh the options in your mind The world's standards are no match for me When I look to God to find true beauty |
Past Butterflies
Gives me butterflies in my heart Had me smiling from the start Helps when help is needed Doesn't seem one bit conceited Is a major helping hand Is a very Godly man Has flaws and things by which he is caught But stray away from God he does not Possesses strengths that are rare And the armor of God he does wear Why do I like you ask Well explaining this is a difficult task His smile gives me chills But only if God wills Shall I mention how I feel I want this time for it to be real I tried before with another guy And now continue to ask myself why Some choices I do regret But I find hope in knowing God has my future set If he who I like is of that a part Then much joy shall fill my longing heart This may seem awkward, weird, and silly But will only happen if God is willing I hope and pray That a man will come my way I will wait for the one whom God has chosen And into the next chapter of my life be woven |

Sleep
Occurs in the day; occurs in the night Eyes wide open; eyes shut tight Nightmares & dreams Steep mountains and quiet streams Flying through space Winning first place The guy that you're crazy about Dancing by a water spout Singing and dancing Karaoke and romancing Love and war Travel to earth's core Building fountains Climbing mountains A famous chef An interpreter for the deaf Demons and monsters Arcades and roller coasters Young and old Shy and bold Ocean breeze Fresh Lemon Squeezed Panic and parties Gumballs and smarties Each is different not one is the same Although categories classify them each has a different name |
Time
24 hours a day; 7 days a week; 365 days a year God is always near Minutes, seconds no limit at all Time is time no matter how small Wasted or cherished Lived forever or forever perished Long and short Same and different lengths of all sorts Passes quickly when having fun From the rising to the setting sun No one knows the hour when But One and that is Him The Heavenly Father knows it all Nothing for Him is too small Possesses the knowledge does He Of life, death and eternity Belief in Christ and all things true Everything old and all things new Mercy, forgiveness, and love Are here and gone as the morning dove Slowly passing Disappearing quick as lightning Time is time no matter how small God alone knows the hour and He knows all The day and hour to us unknown But never a mystery to the God we call our own |

Courage
Bold not meek Strong not weak Comes from the heart with increasing speed And gives you all the bravery you need Soon your troubles all shall cease As the Lord's hand you bravely seize It helps you when you're feeling down Gives you a smile not a frown You have the strength to carry on And know the battle you have won Against evil, suffering and pain With only happiness, goodness, and love that remain The Lord will your life sustain From the sunniest day to the pouring rain Freedom comes with a new found roar And we know we've won the war At last we're safe and at last we've won Problems now completely done Alone we don't stand a chance We must our lives with God enhance To win the war With the highest score Never doubt what's wrong and right Never give in when you still have the will to fight Always believe and always trust And with our God we can't be crushed |
Choices
Right or wrong Quick or long Bad or good Shouldn't or should Can't or can Woman or man Will or won't Do or don't Choices that result in consequences so severe And always kick you in the rear But the consequences for when you're good And choose to do the things you should Result in love and truth As you grow old and when you're a youth We always have a choice to make The ones we love and the ones we hate Your choices take you down a road From the time you're born to the time you're old Choices make you who you are The darkest heart or the brightest star Make the right choice even in trouble and strife Cause the choices you make determine the rest of your life Seeing with the Heart
Can you see Christ no you are blind Why can't you see the one so kind He is always there whether you see Him or not Without you heart's eyes in the Devil's traps you'll always be caught |

Strong Women
Your routine visit to the doctor reveals something isn't right Against a heart wrenching realization you must now fight This is something you had prayed would not occur In desperation you try from your brain this information to deter But it's already there it cannot be erased You will now experience what many women today have faced Blood drains from your face as you wonder what your future holds But as you do your faith in God and His might unfolds You are afraid and not sure what to do But you silently fold your hands and pray to the one who made you Many women have faced this and sadly many more will However you have faith and hope in the doctors' skill Fear is staring at you in the face But you know that like Paul you will run this race Time goes by and you persevere every day But not far from the arms of God do you stray He is your foundation as you take this journey on You rise early each morning to view His masterpiece called dawn Then two years later as you go in for yet another doctor's visit Constantly waiting your stress is at its limit They call your name and take you to a private room As the nurse leaves she tells you the doctor will be there soon You sit and patiently calm yourself breathing slowly in and out Because you know to nothing good will worrying amount Within ten minutes or so the doctor finally comes in And there is a moment or two of silence you could hear the drop of a pin He sits on his stool, takes a deep breath, and lays his clipboard on his knee Leans forward and says to you, “Ma'am...You're cancer free.” For a moment you don't say a word and you don't move And then you utter these words, “God to me His glory did prove.” You smile to yourself and thankfulness fills your entire being Each and every day God's goodness you've been seeing You then sadden as you think about your mom who died when you were little And remember sitting by the fire as she played her antique fiddle When she was diagnosed she told you to be brave Because even though she knew by the doctors she couldn't be saved Her love for you was greater than any emotional pain So as you sit here and remember her again You say to yourself that you have been blessed This however, was not the outcome you had guessed You expected just like your mother you would eventually die But yet here you sit cancer free but why You're alive and have a chance to live And now hope to other women you can give That is why you beat the cancer Your faith is the answer Now that you've shown how you believe That by faith in God many blessings and miracles you can receive It doesn't always turn out how you would want However, you vow never to let fear others' spirts to daunt For although many women face this very few believe in recovery You with your story can help them make a discovery That when there seems to be no hope There are still many positive ways that they can cope To turn to God when all seems lost To the one, who with His son's life paid ours sins' cost By being there for someone who is going through what you did Is a very significant life changing gift Sometimes when we are afraid and facing something much bigger than us It feels so comforting to have those to talk to that you know you can trust So now to you I say that no matter what you will face Like Paul you will run your race This challenge didn't beat you nor overcome your life Now it's your turn help someone else get through this difficult strife |
Free to be Alive
I'm free to be alive Free to in my independence thrive Finding who I am in Christ my Lord The world's names for me matter no more Each day I rise from sleep And from my bed I quickly leap Nothing hinders my individuality For I am a child with a God-centered mentality In life I find I have less stress When the freedom to live I remember I possess I've found that all I have to be Is the person in the plan God has for me He has planned my life from beginning to end Including every enemy, acquaintance, and friend Those who my positive qualities see Are the people I keep close to me I am not perfect and that's ok I'd rather find freedom by following God's way The more about your Creator you know The more opportunities you have to grow You won't find your freedom in things of this earth But rather in God who defined worth Freedom to life I've been given and this freedom I take A promise to live for God every day that I will not break My Adoption
A baby girl born Her mother abusive Breathing stopped 22 times Mom sent to jail for 9 months Dad chose her mom not her In foster care for awhile But soon placed with Delores A Godly woman loved me Hope I never had before I grew up safe and loved Circumstances hindering My mommy still my guardian Not until December of 2003 Was I officially a Hartman Genuinely loved was I As a girl abused Whose mom should've loved her I was small and helpless Then a mighty God gave me Delores She has always loved me and always will A grandma she's never been to me She's been so much more I've never experienced love like hers For it's unconditional no limits at all I'm proud to be adopted and I dearly love my mom. Heart of Gold
A heart of gold At only 18 years old Devoted to the Lord Arms strong as a steel sword Freckles galore Caring about people more and more Loves the Lord with all his heart Even when the Devil is throwing darts Smiles a lot Satan's traps is rarely caught Eyes blue as the skies For a guy his age he is very wise Helps and has a servant's spirit Watch closely and you will see it Devoted to God one-hundred percent Handsome, honest, and decent Son of God; a brother in Christ Always focusing on what is right Loves God with all his heart From Christ does not part In his eyes the Holy Spirit's fire glows And on his face devotion to God shows |

God
Wondrous being awesome power Created seconds, minutes, and every hour Loves His creation each different with its own name Although similar not one is exactly the same Sent His only Son to die for you and me Amazing grace how can it be Endless love and endless grace Created earth and time and space Merciful and wonderful Blessings He gives to us are bountiful Loves both you and me Amazing grace from our Great King King of all nations Lord of all creation Strong for the weak Bold for the meek Love for the hated Each being He created Unique and beautiful are the starts The Amazing God that we call ours He loves us all Both short and tall Meek and mild The old man, woman, and child Living in Christ a true faith in life Winning with God over trouble and strife |
The Willing One
I give my hands to you To serve all those in need I give my feet to you To bring people the good news I give my eyes to you To see the hurt and pain I give my mouth to you To speak of your mercy and grace I give my ears to you To hear the cries of your people I give my voice to you To praise your holy name I give my life to you To do with it what you will The Gift
Now to each one The gift of God's Son Heaven for eternity Or forever in agony Belief in God and all that's truth in life Receiving blessings even in trouble and strife Living in truth Even as a youth Believing God's only Son was sent To us His children as a present It is passed down to you and me The Gospel has always possessed validity |

Failure
I'm not a failure so why do I feel like one Why does it seem like I can't do anything right? I'm not a failure but I sure feel like one Why am I willing to give up without a fight? No one said it would be easy and I assure you it's not Why do I see a tunnel's end with no light? No one said it'll be easy and I tell you it's not Why of my successes have I lost sight? Holy Spirit's Fire
Living inside you and me Allowing us the chance to be free Burns brighter than the sun And over the Devil we've already won Holy is the Lord of Hosts And also is the Holy Ghost Down it came upon the apostles' heads And the Devil began to dread The day when all shall bow on bended knee So that Jehovah they can see Walking on the streets of gold Many people both young and old The end is near So stay clear And push away every evil thing So that one day you shall ever be a son/daughter of the One True King Life
Happy & sad The good and the bad Full of fun When sorrow is done Choices to make Risks to take Make a mistake Bad habits to break The wrong and the right Courage and fright Tranquility and peace with trouble and strife Are the aspects that sum up life |
Lust vs. Love
You can touch me there I don't care No my child don't you dare Don't you that scarlet letter wear Listen to me and submit to desire No rise above this please value things that are higher Sex is what you want so go That is not right and this you know Let go; give in Wallow in this pleasurable sin How can you not trust Him The one who will always win Relationships can be merely physical A relationship's foundation should be spiritual This sexual sin is what you need No why are you letting grow this weed It's more fun in the dark of the sinful night NO FIGHT FOR RIGHT Love and lust are not the same Each has its own name Don't believe that physical is all there is Cause something you have missed There are 3 relationship flames All having special names Ahava, Ryah, and Dode But there is an order to these please not If to awaken love before it's ready is what you do With a love for God you will not follow through Start with God and all things right And promise to never lose sight Love for God must come first Or you might as well expect the worst So don't give up and don't give in To the lies of Lust a sexual sin |

Remember the Point
Silence; no noise exists Hands forming loose fists A slow and steady breath in and out This will be a fight to remember no doubt Facing your opponent as you take a bow Then an expression of concentration furrows your brow You're ready for this; you've been waiting almost a year As you're about to begin your master's voice you hear It's not about hurting your opponent with a hard fast blow But rather to have good technique and self-control Martial Arts are to be used only when needed The teachings of your teacher must be heeded Some for attack and some for defense So as you take to your fighting stance Remember this match lasts only a minute But you're not just here to “win it” You're here to progress and improve Be careful as you make your move So that your master will say you've mastered your skills and perfected your stance So that to your next belt you'll have proven you deserve to and have earned the right to advance |
Max Deception
What's wrong with me I am way too happy Is this real Or something that I alone feel I don't know that's why I ask Is there something I am missing behind this mask I hate to think its just a dream But like one it does seem I won't say the words I want to say I will save them for a special day I like you a lot And in your eyes I am caught Don't ever let go Help me fight my every foe I am way to happy and full of cheer The happiest I have been all year Did you do that Or is this just a myth and not a fact I don't know and I don't care All I do know is that you're there Make me smile and feel cheerful And that is much better than feeling fearful I like you a lot and hope to say one of these days That I love you for always |

Valley Sanctuary
A feeling of relief A feeling of peace I found this one day In a blooming valley Walking through the grass Brushing against the flowers A soft pastel sunrise All across the horizon A river runs towards the north Dew drops clothing each blade of grass Here I find a sense of security I can be myself here Singing so that the melody echoes The mountains joining in my song How long I sit and sing I don't know Hours can pass but I don't leave Why would I want to When I leave this valley I return to the world's evil and sin Of course I can't stay in my valley forever For then I'd never acquire courage This world is full of sin I am only able to leave my valley Because I leave knowing I can return I rise to my feet And take one last look around My lungs fill with the crisp clean air This is my sanctuary Here I can be myself I walk back to the fence The wooden barrier between my two worlds A whisper escapes my mouth Goodbye relief and peace You've renewed my hope Tomorrow is only a day from now Then I shall return |
Servant
Always helping those in need And each time is planting a seed It pleases God to know The good seeds His children sow And makes Him happy to see what His children do When their hearts are once again made true Following in the footsteps of the prophets that came before Helping and serving more and more Giving all that they possess To those in greater distress Loving all whom they meet Giving them at their table a seat Not knowing always what will occur When the feeling of gratitude in others they stir Allowing the servant a chance In helping to God's kingdom enhance There are those who believe and those who don't But all the believers we can't count They are increasing every day Pushing the Devil further and further away |

Facing My Giants
What are my giants you may ask Well let's start with my emotions hidden by a mask The feeling of defeat When others' standards I don't meet The feeling of insecurity Is my whole reality Constantly avoiding those Who in my life try to impose A friend's betrayal like the stab of a knife A repeating cycle everyday of my life I lose so much more than I gain My giants rush in and inflict more pain Giants such as fear, betrayal, and defeat Every day with these and more I meet I feel like hope for me doesn't exist For the courage and faith of David I've often wished How can one so small as me Face all the giants I do and don't see Courage and faith I lack Instead of walking forward I'm running back More giants appear with every progression I think it's time I abort this mission Where's the bravery of Daniel in the den of lions The way with God's help over the them he triumphed Finding no way to freedom Wearing a skull and cross bones as my emblem Fighting with all I am and can be But realizing that a captive is all I will ever be Unless I turn to something or someone greater A being who is of everything the Creator Voicing this truth brings me relief How deep had I buried this belief It's always been real and true An old story now seems like new Inadequacy thwarted with reassurance Giants defeated as they make an appearance Jealousy, pride, insecurity, fear, vulnerability, inadequacy, defeat, and sorrow Are here today and gone tomorrow God builds barriers around my heart Then these giants from me depart From time to times they'll cause me pain But never shall they take over my life again For because my life I surrendered to God above I'm now laying my burdens at the feet of God and Him I'll always love |
The One
He is the one who knows And His love He clearly shows He is the one who loves you And His love is ever true He is the one who holds you to His heart And from you will never depart He is the one who carries you when you can't walk He is the one who speaks for you when you can't talk He gave His only Song to you and me For our chance at eternity You must choose to follow Him Don't just do it on a random whim Many say they have and always will But in sin they live still When your heart is in the right place One day you shall see God face to face Agape
His blood was shed upon the cross For those whose lives in sin were lost Blood and tears ran down His face Suffering for the fallen human race The love he showed while hanging there Was cast aside without a single care The spitting, the laughing and all the cheers Drowned out the sound of his silent tears A crown of thorns upon his holy head The Sod of God would soon be dead The temple curtain ripped, the ground began to shake Things that only a mighty being could create We can't save ourselves so instead God sent His Son And now as a result victory over the grave is won So when you're looking for your one true love Turn your heart and eyes to the one above Agape my friend is my message for you This is the only love that's completely and totally true |

Purity
A precious gift anymore so rare But many give it away without a care When did we dismiss its value When did we destroy this truth Having known people who this gift have lost Makes me see that in the trash its value we've tossed Purity is sacred and should be treated so But I see that to this virtue not many people hold Purity given in exchange for pleasure Is disgracing the God who gave us this treasure How much value do you place on being pure Why do you continue to its meaning blur It matters more than people often show But because we rarely speak of it this fact you may not know For how could one realize the depth of something great If for a simple conversation about it they must wait Why don't we with our brothers and sisters share That of sexual sin they must beware For without this knowledge they may go astray And once they've gotten so far they see no other way Purity is sacred and purity is sweet And you must hold on to it no matter what guy or girl you meet For ladies it is something that once taken is forever gone And for a chance to choose again you will greatly long Guys for you it may not cause as much emotional pain But what from giving it away do you gain It can't be a life that you want to live Why not wait til you're married this gift to your spouse give Our world is so corrupt; full of evil and sin Carried out by both women and men Although we face this evil every day God the word no has made you capable to say You may really like this girl; you may really like this guy But before you make a big mistake ask yourself why You cannot see what you won't miss This sexual sin can begin with a single kiss Purity my friends isn't something to take for granted By dismissing is value in the Devil's trap you've landed So now I ask you What is your truth Do you give in to the opinions and standards of this earth Or do you stand out declaring in God your worth Make the choice to abstain So that pure and true to Christ you remain Balance
From what I’ve seen so much good can come from so much bad Great successes are born of great failures Immense courage is born of immense fear From my point of view each negative must balance itself with a positive Constant criticism of a person forms a person of constant praise Growing doubt of a person forms a person of growing faith For a balance of good and evil of peace and of war There are sacrifices to make and battles to win Victory is in the eye of the warrior For what reason does he fight and what does he wish to gain Does he seek riches and fame and glory and ego? Does he seek freedom and mercy and love and purpose? For what reason does he surrender and give up the fight Does he surrender his will to serve the will of God? Does he surrender his pride in the hopes of gaining humility? For what purpose does the girl defy her parents Does she plan on telling them of her faith? Does she risk becoming an outcast with her people For what reason does she cry into her pillow every night Does she still struggle to believe in someone greater? Does she not trust that all will be ok and she’s safe in His arms? It’s so easy to lose sight of all the good in our lives The devil makes blinders for each of us based on our weaknesses I’ve lost the ability to see how I could deserve good things When we find something good we must hold on to it tooth and nail It’s like being at the end of your rope tying a not and holding on Finding a blessing is like receiving another rung to a broken ladder Success is to failure as courage is to fear Criticism is to praise as doubt is to faith A balance is always healthy and makes us grow Be Conscious
That of which we are ignorant Becomes that by which we are destroyed The depth of understanding that we possess Determines a consequence that surely follows Therefore we are destroyed by ignorance And adversely affected by our lack of understanding |
Think of Us
Think of what we had when our love was new Think of what we shared when we were just starting out Has our love grown so old as to lose our true selves in past memories Have we forgotten what belonging together really means? Why does it seem that with time love fades and we become distant Why does it feel like we’ve lost each other and ourselves as time goes by? Can we reclaim a sense of companionship and compassion? Can’t this gradual change be undone just as it’s been done? Think of the time we used to spend laughing and talking Think of the times we spent in each other’s arms Has all hope been lost to us and shall we forever grow apart Have we lost ourselves while trying to find each other? Why do I feel so empty and fragile to the touch? Why does it seem so bleak and futile to keep chasing a happy future? Can this really be love if it’s slowly ending? Can’t something be done to fix my broken heart? Think of the tears we shed only to be dried by a kiss or two Think of the bruises that showed only when we felt most safe Has everything we built together crumbled unable to be rebuilt? Have we exhausted every resource and tried every solution Why do I feel alone and scared even though I know you’ve haven’t left Why does it seem that you will leave if not now but eventually? Can this really be all there is to us Can’t there be more depth to the person you thought was the one Think of all we had, possess and forever could keep Think of how love isn’t measureable and is infinite Has it become impossible for any relationship to last? Have human instinct and desire squelched true love and passion Why do I write how I feel even though it’s hard Why does it seem that feeling is the foundation of poetry Can I keep writing and bless others with my words Can’t this reach someone and give them hope Without A Doubt
I saw her lying there on the hospital bed With a knitted hat covering her head This woman hard working and brave The doctors say they cannot save With this life she seemed almost through She didn't progress; she did nothing new I hadn't seen my aunt in months With her I longed to talk just once As I walked in the room and said her name She opened her eyes and from them several tears came Right then I knew she was going to die But I still continued to ask God why I held her hand til late afternoon Then I had to go home and leave her room As I lay in my bed tears flowing I prayed to God all-knowing It was the first time in my life that I prayed without any doubt in mind That a way for my aunt and I to communicate God could find I prayed and prayed until I fell asleep A desperate hope in God to keep The next day we went back to the hospital Against this tragedy I felt so small But I trusted God and made a choice To communicate with her even without her voice I asked for her to show by squeezing my hand once for yes and twice for no Then a miracle of God was performed Her muscles a squeeze of my hand formed I couldn't stop the tears that followed The hole in my heart no longer hollowed My mom and I cried We held each other very tight I had been horrible to my aunt in the past Now God had given me a window of time so I could ask For Ann-Marie to forgive me and for her to know I wish my apology to her I could show When I asked if she could forgive me The squeezing of my hand I could feel and see That window of time was a blessing even though it was short But it was indeed a blessing from my gracious Lord At midnight on the twenty-fourth of May This Godly woman passed away The tears and despair began to appear inside my being She had in my life provided great meaning I miss her so much and at times I still cry Sometimes I find myself wishing she didn't have to die But even though my sadness overwhelms me The positive I do try to see Her faith in God was strong Heaven is where I pray God will say she belongs Although she is gone from this earth She was a child of God possessing great worth When Jesus comes again I hope we can be In heaven living together with God for eternity |

Unfathomable Love
Mercy received & grace freely given When into holy flesh nails were driven A sacrifice so pure and true Washing, cleansing, becoming brand new Blood mixed with tears on His face Forgiving and loving the human race Imperfect are we whom He died for Why oh why did you do this Lord? I'm small and unimportant in this life I don't understand why for me He died Wasn't there another way to fulfill This plan that was always God's will? He loved us until He died It is finished was his cry Giving His life and His blood This one and only Son of God From the dark grave He has risen Forgiveness received by a life freely given |
Peace of the Night
As the sun sets and moonlight shines I slip into my nightgown soft and made of silk Walking through the dew covered grass The crickets starting to sing as I go A cool breeze brushes against my skin It's a beautiful night belonging to me Stillness all around me but I don't fear I'm claiming the night as mine Laughter escapes from my lips Tears of joy fill my eyes Out here in the light of the moon I'm free to be the girl I truly am Mr. Moon is my spotlight The crickets are my chorus Nature is so beautiful Peace is at the reigns I treasure these precious hours Where the unseen is revealed The rustling of leaves Water rippling in the pond It's quiet and it's still |

Fall Into His Love
I've fallen so far And I can't find my way I'm standing in the dark Lost and so afraid I turn to the east Then to the west I feel my weakness increase Fail even though I try my best I only see the step I'm on This small glowing light My hope is almost gone I'm now swallowed by the dark night I haven't the strength Hope doesn't exist To free myself I'd go to any lengths Is there a way out that I've missed Since when is sin my captor And my past filled with numerous stains I'm free and to God I matter The warmth of His love remains Though I walk through this world Feeling weak and small Face many people that are cruel With the Almighty I'll conquer them all I have times when I doubt When I'm overcome with pain Courage to face my giants I am without But Christ picks me up again and again I fall into endless love Find peace and rest Sent to me from above I'm held close to my heavenly Father's chest Awesome God your love knows no bounds I'm overwhelmed by your mercy and grace My hope in you at last I've found In your kingdom you have prepared me a place I'm your daughter and you're my King Falling into a love so pure and true To every promise you've made I'll cling For the rest of my life I'll only serve You |
Without Question
A moment is what it was but like an eternity it felt What a crazy hand of cards I have been dealt He said I was the only one but somewhere inside I knew I wasn't The red flags numbered more than a dozen Why I was so blind is still unknown to me I guess it was only the good I wanted to see I ignored the signs that something was wrong Like a puppy I was strung along I did the things he asked cause I thought I was special But his focus was only on everything sexual In his eyes I was worth nothing; a piece for his pleasure Nothing but my body did he seek as his treasure I have never felt this depressed and alone But the fault regardless of what others say is my own I hate to think that and I wish it wasn't true But that is how it looks to me and this isn't something new My last boyfriend was the same way And every time I fall in love there's a price to pay I didn't mean to do this and I regret it For now I have to trust that this piece will in my life puzzle fit Right now things seem dreary and all I can see is pain But no matter how great the hurt I know I will pick myself up again I love too easily and fall for someone without question Finding a guy to be mine has become an obsession It has to stop now not later cause there may not be another chance For me to be the best I can be I must take a stance That focuses my life on God and His plan for me I don't want another guy who's so worldly |

You
A smile Something small But life changing A hug Something small But meaningful A kiss Something small But delightful Your Smile Something big Changed my life Your hug Something big Meant the world Your kiss Something big Delight in you Wonder & Awe
Where are you Lord when I'm falling Do you hear me when I'm calling When I need you you're always there And you hear each and every prayer With you in my life I'm never alone You love me though I complain and groan I cannot fathom your strength and might Satan and the darkness are afraid of your light But I'll never comprehend your grace How can you forgive the sin filled human race A God so Magnificent and merciful Filled with awe and being humble When life is perfect and when it crumbles |
Loved For Real
Am I loved because I'm pretty Because I have a gorgeous face Am I loved because I'm witty Because I with makeup my blemishes erase Is love defined by physical desire Pleasing another human being Is love hot flames of sexual fire Pleasing ourselves & from 1 Corinthians 13 fleeing Does God love me with worldly expectations No because God is love & love is God Does God love me with worldly definitions No because the world has created love fraud Love is more than sex and pleasure God says love is patient & love is kind Love is a gift a rare & precious treasure No greater embodiment of love than God will you find I know that I am loved for my tender heart Because I see it in the grateful faces of those that I touch I know that I am loved because of God's kingdom Because I find myself being to others a saving crutch God defines a love genuine & true I know that I am loved for real God embodies love to the accepting few I know in my heart God's love I feel My heart by human hands shattered God has been my super glue The pieces of my heart by human desire scattered God has picked me up and made me new Real love is having a common belief A strong & sturdy bond Real love is from the heart & is joint relief A realization that you are of God very fond Dictionaries designed by mankind An imperfect invention which on God's definition of love trods Dictionaries written with ideas from man's mind An exact & perfect embodiment of real love is God Is your love for people reflecting God's wisdom Do you mean what about love what you say Is your love making you heart's way to God's kingdom Can you humble yourself to love God's way |

It’s Been a Betrayal
Like the fog in the early morn One day you disappeared No goodbye was said No evidence of love A sense of unworthiness A feeling of sadness Like a failed test A sense of agony It cut me to the bone Wondering why Was I not good enough Did I do something wrong Am I always meant To be unloved and alone Why didn’t they want me Why didn’t they showed they cared Where is the love I was supposed to receive |
No Longer
She feels agony at the woes of the world She feels despair at the anger taking over She cries for the lives lost by hate and war She cries for the love destroyed by death She can no longer feel nor see hope She can longer feel nor see love She can no longer feel nor see faith She can no longer feel nor see joy She sees destruction everywhere she looks She sees desolation around every bend Each day brings her more sadness Each night brings her more fear She longs for the defeat of evil She hungers for the return of love Every moment deepens sorrow Every second increases worry She sees darkness she’s never known She sees people she’ll never know She sees suffering she’ll never forget She sees death she can’t reverse |

A Brooding Soul
I am just so tired Of everything going wrong I am just so hurt By the negativity in my life I’m tired of fighting for happiness I’m tired of fighting for hope I’m tired of seeing the clouds But never seeing the sun I’m angry that people keep leaving me Through death or other means I’m angry that I have no foothold That I have no rope to grab onto That I have no strength to persevere I’m angry the my friends are few I’m angry at those who’ve hurt me I have a broken and aching heart Why is life dealing me such a hand Where I suddenly feel alone Where I suddenly don’t feel safe And I become so irritable That my anger consumes me Why does it feel like the world is against me That I’ve stopped feeling joy I’m just so angry and I’m so tired At all hours of the day I want my shot at happiness I want my days to stop being just routine For freedom to live my life I want to be free of these captors Free of the ever increasing anger Free of the ever growing tiredness To find hope in things I once cherished To find happiness and to be loved I hurt inside and don’t know how to battle To fight for a new tomorrow More than anything I desire love and happiness I just don’t know where to start |
Tears vs. Hope
I cry because I'm a sinner But Christ is always forgiving I cry because I'm a liar But Christ is always truth I cry because I'm a cheater But Christ is always fair I cry because I'm alone But Christ is always there I cry because I'm afraid But Christ is always brave I cry about so many things But each and every time I do I remember in Christ there's always hope And that He'll wash me white as snow The Man I Love
I want to turn to you when things go wrong I want to run into your loving arms I want you to hold me tight I want you to tell me it'll be alright I want you to serve God with me by your side I want to serve Him for the rest of our lives I want to come home to only you I want each and every moment to be special for you I will be faithful & I will be true Because I love you I will be honest & I will be true Because I love you You are the one for me Even when I don't feel worthy I thank God everyday for you Because you are my man & I love you |

Don’t Be A Conformer
Rise above the norm And never conform Love those who accept you And forgive those who don’t Be true to yourself And hold tight to your values Learn from your mistakes And cherish every clean slate Stay strong in times of trouble And believe in hope not fear Resist all temptations And walk with your head held high Be someone who makes a difference And gives more than they receive There are millions of people on this earth And yet only one person can be you Sometimes you might feel small And you may doubt your importance But everyone has a purpose including you And all you have to do is believe Be who you want to be And never who the world says to be |
Her Climb
She sinks as she swims Head barely above water She falls as she walks Knees scraped and bruised Her confidence waning Her hope out of reach Happiness gone away Life now unbearable There are too many mountains She hasn’t been able to climb Constant uphill battles to conquer Failing over and over again She wants to make the mountains move She wants to make the journey end She wants to fight the despair She wants to destroy the doubt Hope is a light in the darkness Darkness is conquered in battle The battle is everyday life Life is her daily climb |

Guiding Light
As the boat sails across the ocean It tosses and turns with the waves Watching for the lighthouse light Seeking the harbor’s safety The captain steers toward home With hope he’ll reach it soon He struggles against the wind He pushes through the storm No matter what obstacles he’ll face He knows that he’ll survive Clutching at the only source of hope And lets the lighthouse guide |
Breaking Point
How can you not see The damage you’ve done to me How can you stand there And not even care How dare you ignore The trust you broke and heart you tore Life has shredded my soul My blood runs ice cold I struggle to breathe And in my anger I seethe |

The Culture of Kindness
When I was little I was often asked Child, are you being kind today I always said yes even if it was a lie See I used to think kindness was simple If I didn’t say anything mean Then I was the definition of kind But as I’ve grown older and more mature I have found that there are layers There is so much more to being kind Kindness stems from what is held in the heart Thoughts can become weapons And words can break the soul If my heart carries hatred I shall constantly hate and feel hated If my heart carries love I shall constantly love and feel loved Would you rather be loved, or hated When I’m in need of guidance On how to spread love and acceptance I turn to the one who embodies both To learn how to love and not hate To learn to forgive and forget And to create a culture of kindness |
Friends by Mistake
There is a deep scar on my heart One you created with a dagger The agony in my entire body Aches and pains every day Once upon a time I called you friend Later you were my frenemy In the end you are my enemy I don’t believe in fate I don’t believe in coincidence I was completely mistaken To call you my friend I was blind to take you at your word You were once a trusted lifeline Now you’re just an ever fading memory I don’t see you in my future Not after what you’ve done If the past could be erased You’d be the first thing gone I’m so done feeling worthless So done being angry You affected me once upon a time But you won’t affect my happily ever after |
