Seek Not My Heart

Oh gentle winds 'neath moonlit skies,
Do not you hear my heartfelt cries?

Below the branches, here about,
Do not you sense my fear and doubt?
Side glistening rivers, sparkling streams,
Do not you hear my woeful screams?

Upon the meadows, touched with dew,
Do not you see my heart's a'skew?
Beneath the thousand twinkling stars,
Do not you feel my jagged scars?

Seek not my mournful heart kind breeze,
For you'll not find it 'mongst these trees.
It's scattered 'cross the moonlit skies,
Accompanied by heartfelt sighs.

It's drifting o're the gentle rain,
A symbol of my silent pain.
It's buried 'neath the meadow fair,
Conjoined with all the sorrow there.

It's lost among the stars this night,
Too far to ease my quiet fright.
No gentle winds, seek not my heart,
For simply ... it has torn apart.

Slow Tears

I look up
as a tear rolls slowly
down my cheek
I think about better days
and wonder if
I'll feel that way again
you look at me
with those eyes I know so well
always serious, so deep and insightful
as though you're always in control
But not today
not now
Now you look so scared
like for once you don't have the answer
I gaze at you
looking deep into those hazel eyes
Hoping to understand
why you've said those things you did
I wonder for a moment
if this is all a dream
if I shall wake in the morning
and be relieved
you look at me
with a confusion I have never seen
slowly pull me towards you
and wipe the tears from my cheek

Prayer ('93)

I begged God for a Miracle
And He said no.
I blamed Him for making a world
Where my problems could exist
And He said nothing.
I told Him that if He was Just,
He had created my problems
So He should solve them And He ignored me.
I asked God for the strength to try to solve my problems myself
And He said 'Of Course.'
'I was only waiting For you to ask the right question.'

Sacrifice ('94)
"God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son"
That's love.
Not lust
Or affection
Or friendship
But real love
True love
Deep love.
What would it take
To make you do the same?
To love something enough
That you would be willing to die to save it?
Could you even conceive it?
I can't.
But God could.
And so could Jesus.
And that's why he died. For us.
Think about it.

The Road of Life ('95)
The road of life is a twisted one
and sometimes the path becomes lost,
We wander through shadows dark and dim,
Life doesn't seem worth the cost.

Our burdens too heavy to carry,
we sit by the roadside and cry,
there's no easy way to opt out of this world -
if you give up the struggle you die.

At the end of the tunnel lies the light,
And the darkest night must end with dawn.
Beyond the shadows Jesus waits
Holding a torch high to beckon us home.

Love ('95)
Love is a very peculiar thing.
Everybody loves someone or something-
it's human nature.
But is is also human nature to set conditions and lay boundaries-
to love someone 'except', or 'until', or 'because of' God is different.
God loves everyone and everything.
Wholly and unconditionally.
You might say 'But He couldn't love me because I've done x or y or z.'
That's not true.
God loves, you just haven't accepted.
Open your heart and let Him in.
Go on, try it. Just a crack will do at first.
(If you aren't ready, don't worry God's love has no expiry date.)
When you do, What you will find is that little by little your life has become very much richer.

Feelings

Just as a wave is lifted by the shore,
Then breaks across the slowly rising sand,
So as I watch you weep my feelings pour
Across the wash of what I understand.

I wish I could just take you in my arms
And all your pain could melt into my chest,
And all the violence of passing storms
Could pass through me and finally come to rest.

No words can set things right or presence lend
A miracle to light your darkened way,
But there is solace in a loving friend
And comfort in what I don't have to say.

Whatever circumstance you cannot bear,
Just turn to me, and you will find me there

God's Will?

Back then in those days
We went our own ways
Never once cared
How each other fared

Until just then
Through His divine plan
Friendship arose
N we became so close

A quarter of my world, u always were
Needed u to say u'd always be here
Throughout the storms and winds that blow
Siblings love for each other 4ever aglow

But never was I a crux of ur life
Just a honeycomb in the beehive
Full of sweetness, u said i was
Well then, ever thought of the cause?

I guess i noe what i am for
Just an avenue where ur troubles u pour
Feeling lost, I asked my Lord
Is this friendship what u want for me God?

Asking my Father to show me the way
Should I stay on, or just go away?
This sign I requested
But made me broken-hearted

Father in Heaven
If by seven:
The quarter of my world doesn send a message, but she whos next, sends one,I'd take it that its not what you want, i'll obey you,i'll act like b4 it begun...

I wana thank you for being my sun
For comforting me when i was having no fun
Loving me close
Its you whom I chose.

Sad as I am
cos losing u i cant withstand
But, if God should oppose
This closeness, will close

I'm sorry..Dun hate me..still friends, but never as close..if God shd oppose..
i'll pray abt it..i promise i will..i dun wana lose u..unless it's God's will.
