HelperI want to be your helper,
the arms that support you,
surrounding you with love.
I want to be there,
ready to catch you,
standing behind you,
someone to lean on.

I want to listen to your problems
before I tell you of my own.
I want to ask you how you feel,
pick up the broken pieces,
be ever on your side
- even when it's hard.
I want to be your helper,
surrounding you with love.

I want to be a comforter,
to put your needs before my own.
I want to strengthen you,
to heal your hurts.
I want to love you
more than feelings.
I want to be your helper,
surrounding you with love.

I want to be a part of you,
belonging to you

Helpless SurrenderGod I surrender,
I am crumbling down,
From this white-washed tower,
From this fortress of wickedness in which I am bound,

God I abandon,
All pride and all fight,
To stand tall on my own,
I cannot do what's right in Your sight,

So God I lay down,
All I have at Your feet,
All burdens and sorrows,
All that's left of this broken mess of me,

But You lift me up,
And You hold me close,
You comfort my tormented soul,
Give me feelings I've never known,
You lift my head,
You wipe all my tears away,
Whispering how You love me,
And in You I will not be shamed,
Rocking me in Your arms,
The same that hung every star,
The arms that were opened to the wor
SomethingThere’s something about your beautiful eyes
That are always watching over me
There’s something about your wonderful smile
That never ceases to calm the storm in me
And there’s something about your hands
They are gentle and hold this fragile heart
Yet mighty and have defeated death

And there’s’ something about the way
You whisper my name
There’s something about you I can’t get over

You are the one I adore
The one I live for
Creator of heaven and earth
He’s given me new birth
And now I can dance
And now I can sing
This broken world in a romance
With a mighty King

There’s something about
MarriageHearts flutter like butterfly's
Flying high, soaring the sky
oh how lovely did the organ sing
As one gazed upon another's eyes
And said take this cup, take this wine
And you shall be forever mine

Not for riches, not for gold
That my heart had been sold
For love and only love is what I feel
So the lovers, lay hand one on other
And prepare for their ordeal
As not just lovers
But husband and wife

A huge difference tis' so
For eternity they will stay
And even after, they will meet in the palace beyond
For their first dance in heaven!
The Road Ahead (Poem)
These tears from my eyes have never fallen in vain
They're a sign that in me, your kingdom still reigns
That you're still working in the depths of my heart
Embedding that fear that sets us apart

That fear that brings us to do the right thing
That fear that motivates us to glorify our King
That fear that prevents us from living in sin
That fear of God we lost, when we let rebellion move in

I'll be the first to admit, It's not easy to walk on a straight line
While sin constantly tries to exploit the weakness in our minds
Thinking we will never get caught committing crime after crime
With deaf ears we hear and we see with eyes that are blind
Not Even DeathWhen the skies fall
Down onto me
And I can’t even crawl
You take my hand
And lead me to a land
Where I am safe
And no harm can come my way

I feel Your strong hand
But my dreams feel impossible
And then You say
"Just believe and with Me you can
Because I am able"
And I feel Your protective eyes
Like a father You are by my side

And all I can say now
As worry lifts from my brow

You are my righteousness
You are my confidence
I feel like I can fly
Not even death can untie
The bond that is made between
Me and You
There’s nothing we can’t do

Your voice is like rushing water
And Your eyes are like fire
You’re clothed in s

God I fight so hard,
To become what You are,
To be like You are,

Lord I am so weak,
God I fall at Your feet,
To become what You are,
Make me like You are,

Purify me,
Worthy Lord, Righteous One,
You're what I need,
Nothing without You, Father,
Guide me,
Jesus, You're the only to,
Satisfy me,
You're name on my lips,
Is like honey,
You're love captivates,
Brings me to my knees,
Beautiful and powerful,
Almighty,
Holy God, Awesome One,
Purify me,

God I am so tired,
Lord I am so faint,
My effort is futile,
Useless is my strength,

For without You,
I cannot achieve,

Come restWhen you say come rest
Should I being working so hard?
I have tried so hard to earn your love
When you said come rest
Should I be working so hard?
Did you mean my hands or my heart?
From the hill your calling out "Love rest"
I have tried so hard but kept on missing the mark
Still you call "Love rest"
Why should I be working so hard?
On the cross you said "It's done" 
There is nothing I can do to earn your love,
All the labor I have done can't measure up
I just added more weight to what was light.
When you "come rest"
Should I be working so hard?
I was convinced it was right
but there's nothing left to do except to be near  
You called come rest 
So I come
 
 
 
Delilah: The Secret of your WeaknessDid they not warn you,
o Man,
that woman is dangerous?
Did they not tell you
she would lure you into her web,
wrap you round her little finger,
conquer you to be her slave?
Did they not warn you,
o Man?

But you thought yourself strong,
and thought womankind weak.
You thought you conquered me,
thought you possessed my heart,
thought I was yours,
trembling in your hand.
Did they not warn you,
o Man?

Tell me, o Man,
the secret of your strength,
and I will tell you
the secret of my weakness.
Tell me, o Man -
let it slip
like honey from your lips,
like the kisses you give
unsparingly -
they prove nothing,
they cannot prove your love.
Tell me, o
Mary mother of John Mark: Prayer of FaithLord,
teach me to pray
the prayer of faith.

So often I ask,
not expecting to receive.
So often I leave loopholes
just in case you don't answer -
as if expecting
nothing will happen anyway.
Where is my faith?

As you answer my prayers
I see my lack of faith.
Why am I so surprised
when I see that you hear?
Why do I react in disbelief,
when what I've been begging for
becomes real before my eyes?

Lord,
teach me to pray
the prayer of faith -
to know that you hear me,
and that you are at work,
that you do the impossible
beyond my wildest dreams -
o Lord
teach me to believe.
Torn ApartI'm torn apart,
neither here nor there,
pulled between places
I hardly even know;
an island
in an ever-raging sea;
a fish
that has never known water.

A piece of paper
tells me I am from here,
but my heart says otherwise.
But people here and people there
think they know better
and point all over
till I get dizzy,
lose all sense of direction
and am left
to patch up my heart
with cello-tape
on a train or a plane or a bus
in the middle of nowhere
and everywhere.

I dash my head
on earless walls
and shatter my heart
to pieces on rocks.
For I am neither here nor there
not conservative
not liberal
what am I?

I fear a cag
The Puzzle That Is My HeartWhenever my heart breaks
Shatters into a thousand pieces
And become tiny heart fragments spread around
God is always faithfully there
To pick up the fragile pieces
He searches them out
And set them back together
He put each of them into its given place
Patiently he repairs my broken heart
With his soft healing hands
And his everlasting warm love
He let the light of his goodness and glory
Shine on my needing, feeble heart  
He strengthens it with his great power
Right away my heart is whole once again
Healtily beating to the beautiful melody of God's mercy
In forgiveness our Lord sees to his little child
God solves the mystery of my heart

The Light Of The WorldDearest God,
Please help me heal
Heal my all
My whole body, heart, mind, spirit and soul

My soul is pleading
My mind is far from still
I cry out to you for help Jesus

My center of attention has shifted
But the waight of my sins
Sometimes is heavy on my shoulders
Even though I hope and believe you have forgiven me
I find it difficult to forgive my self

My counciouns is a real mess
My head is full of noise
An almost unstoppable chaos
But Jesus, you are me peace

When I’m digging a hole
And hide my shameful self in it
Please, let your light shine in the dark
Come find me and bring me back with your love

I’m yours now
And I want t
The Love of Jesus Christ (Poem)
It's because of love that I've found you
It's because of your love I've found truth
When sadness and strife filled my days
Your eternal love showed me the way

When I only knew regret and remorse
You sent messengers right to my door
When my heart turned love into hate
You turned my pain into hope and good faith

The world will know who is Jesus Christ
My life, my love I owe you my life
You can lighten even the darkest of nights
You are the reason that I continue to fight

Where would I have ended up if not for you
Lifeless with out purpose never knowing the truth
That we can aim higher then we'd ever thought to
as you reveal secrets of life t
My heart belongs to GodMy heart belongs to God
In him I have my joy
He is my heavenly father
My comforter and my saviour
The creator of heaven and earth

The Lord takes my worries upon Him
He scratches out all my sins
Small and big
He chases my pain away
And brings me countless blessings

My great Father in heaven
Lifts me up when I am feeling low
He finds me when I have gotten lost
Patiently brings me back if I have run away
And always takes me safely home

Our Lord Sebaot
Is the one who granted me life
He answeres prayers kind
Sees my moves around and my choices made
He hears my every word and thought

God of Israel and of us all
Is always faithfully by my s

Vinita and EldridgeVinita (The Apprentice Angel):

Oh, bequeath me open eyes,
Grant me unscathed vision,
Authorize my wisdom;
For troubled I am,
Faced with such an uncertainty
It devours conviction
To bestow love upon a humanity
That is to me a terrible affliction.

Eldridge(The Mentor Angel):

My dear Vinita so much to learn,
So much to know
For child you must grow
So I will tell you
Humanity may appear
Behind a shroud
For they fear hence must wear
Else they be left cold and bare
But I press you
To look past their veils
To see what you know
Beyond glamorous masks
And quietus flairs
Under ugly covers
Past ghastly airs
Shines a hidden light
One of the brightest
LightThe Darkness hath no power over light
The moon hath illuminated the night
Lamps made the dark room bright
Dark shadows cannot ever dim the stars
Black pitch shan’t ever conceal the sun
Light will rule darkness to the ends of time

Everything I Need

:iconroselynedwards:

I never took the time to look around
Until I realize, in despair I’m found

I fret and worry like Peter on the sea
Until to Jesus Christ, I forever plea

Then to heaven, aye my heart is free
Now in this world, my heart no longer be

I set my gaze to greener rolling hills
And feel His Word how my lungs it fills and fills

I look up to azure skies
To think about how the angel flies

Eyes are sure to find a budding rose
How Christ’s love it grows and grows

In the morn, wetness of the dew
Hearing birds sing so lovely and I'm all new

Try to think not as much of me
Just want to love them all no matter who they be

Most important thing rings sure within my soul
Christ lives within my heart; and it is very full

No matter how convincing pleasures this world are
I know for certain, they won’t get me very far

To some I’ve got a lot more than I need
To others I have nothing and very pathetic indeed

What they say doesn’t matter, because I know I got it all
Everything I need, because God is always there to catch me when I fall
