SEEING TRUTH

"We must see Truth, as we see light. Although it has no form, it is able to illuminate and guide us. It is able to penetrate, occupy and transform.

Yet, the light of Truth is much more. It is God's omnipresence that can not be chained, contained, or bent." Mishael



poetry


The Clothed Servant
The sun has left the day
The transient moon awakens the night
half-hidden amongst the Heavens
drawing each spirit closer to God
So vivid, so near
Its dark recesses lay bare imperfection
revealing a servant, such as I
aspiring to Heavenly purpose
Poised, face to face, the naked moon and I, hold our face toward God,
hoping to capture His Beauty
to bask in His love
Unobstructed by clouds
Free to cast off light
Assured that when clothed in the fullness of His Glory,
we can illuminate the sky



Revived
Emerging from beneath the busy tasks of the day
I surface gasping for air
searching for The Living Breath of God
to aerate and resuscitate my soul
Spontaneously, inhaling the Word, I read
A former desire, a necessity
My blood transformed to process its essence into oxygen
pumping through my veins, feeding a hungry, starving soul
I am dependent upon the turn of each page for survival
I inhale.....the air is clean
I inhale.....the air is pure
undefiled by man
Head tilted back, nostrils flared
I prepare to fill my lungs
bracing myself for the true source of the wind
My soul leaps out, spread like a sail
and I yield to The Master of Wind and Waves
Adrift no longer
set upon a new course
sailing wherever He may lead





Tear Down The Walls
Tear down the walls built within;
obstructing your vision, leaving you blind, masking all your sin.
Tear down the walls of self-protection, keeping others out;
trapping you instead, chained helplessly to doubt.
Tear down the hedges continuing to grow briery, thick, and taut;
denying you the privilege to be what a Christian ought.
Tear down the walls of towering darkness;
carnal evil, twining, winding, amongst the massive thicket;
disguising, camouflaging, clouding, to hide what's truly wicked.
Buried beneath the shroud of darkness, laid within the tomb of fate,
nothing lives, only dies, poisoned by Satan's lies and hate.
Acknowledge your weaknesses, trust God to put them to the test;
Accept His plan to mold you, for He knows what's best.
Give your weaknesses to God. He will conquer them.
Don't miss the blessing of His grace and forever knowing Him


simplicity lost

the wind and the air are going there
but can we find it anywhere
in a song, a story, there are too many words
voices drown out pictures that should be heard
around every corner inside searching eyes
under piles of shoes that have walked through lies
hands in battle, destruction at any cost
wherefore lies the remains of simplicity lost

HOW SHALL A MAN WALK
Day in and day out, I've seen the children play
Young boys and young girls growing everyday
Playing the roles of their moms and dads
Trying to become woman and man
Oh, how shall, how shall a man walk?

We must be examples to each and everyone
Out in the world, what would they become?
If we don't teach them the way they should walk
Ignorance and blindness will keep them in the dark

Oh, how shall, how shall a man walk?

How shall a man see, when the way is dark and drear?
How shall a man speak, when money is the only sound the world will hear?
How shall a man walk, when stones are in the way?
How shall a man love, when the world says, love the one you're with, today?
Oh, how shall, how shall a man walk?

Find love in God, He is the beginning and the end
He'll show you how to love your neighbor and make your enemy your friend
Love those whom God has placed within your care
Your family is to cherish, as within His love you share
Oh, how shall, how shall a man walk?

Speak with the wisdom of a man who has made mistakes
Humble yourself and make your words plain
Look to the master, hold firm to his hand
He'll guide you through danger and show you His plan
Oh, how shall, how shall a man walk?

Walk in the light, the light, the light of the Savior
Nothing can ham you when you walk with the Lord
Walk in the light, the light, the light of the Savior
Nothing can ham you when you walk with the Lord

The Treasure is Within You

Reaching out for dreams of bright tomorrows
I touched a ray of hope up in the sky
I dared to follow a rainbow, to find gold at the end
I started on my journey not knowing that I'd find
The treasure was within me all the time

Dream and awake to a new tomorrow
Live so your life won't be in vain
Strive for the life that can be yours
The treasure is within you
The treasure is within you
The treasure is within you all the time

Catch a ray from the sky
Dare to follow a rainbow and you too will find
You can dream and awake to a new tomorrow
Live so your life won't be in vain
Strive for the life that can be yours
The treasure is within you
The treasure is within you
The treasure is within you all the time

You can reach
You can touch
You can catch a ray of hope
The treasure is within you all the time

Save Me From Myself

Save me Lord, from my soul stained with sin
I'm filled with iniquities harbored within
Heal me Lord, my heart is in need
I'm wounded by temptation, lies, hate and greed

Forgive me Lord, wash me in the blood
Save me Lord, save me
Save me, save me, save me!
Save me from myself

I can't blame someone else for what I have said
For having chose the wrong road or being misled
I can't blame someone else for what I've done wrong
You said it wasn't easy, bu you'd help me to be strong

Only you can lift this weight from my soul
Only you have the power to take control
Lord, I desire to do your blessed will
There is no peace, no peace until
I feel your healing, saving grace
Shine with mercy on my face
Only you can

Save me Lord, from my soul stained with sin
I'm filled with iniquities harbored within
Heal me Lord, my heart is in need
I'm wounded by temptation, lies, hate and greed

Forgive me Lord, wash me in the blood
Save me Lord, save me
Save me, save me, save me!
Save me from myself


There is no peace, no peace until You
Save me from myself
Save me, please save me Lord
I can go to no one else

Forgive me, only, only if You will
Wrap Your arms around me still
Lord I know I've caused You pain
And I don't want to be the same

Heal me, wash, wash me in the blood
Heal me, fill me with your love
Heal me, I want to feel your power of mercy
As it shines upon my face
Only you can, only you can
Save me by your grace
Lord, please, save me from myself

COME OUT OF THE WILDERNESS CHILDREN

Come out of the wilderness children
Don't you tarry, don't you tarry no more
Come out of the wilderness children
Don't you tarry, don't you tarry no more

Children in the wilderness, tempted by Satan
Won't you come out
Like Jesus in the wilderness, tempted by Satan
Won't you come out

Jesus would not bow down to be his servant
Satan's lies could not lead Him into destruction
For He had the word of God to feed His hunger
And bring Him out

Children in the wilderness, tempted by Satan
Wandering lost and hungry, tempted by Satan
Just reach out your hand to God
Let Jesus help you
And you will come out

And we will shout for the glory, shout!
We'll shout for salvation, shout, shout!
We'll shout for the glory, shout!
We'll shout for salvation, shout, shout!
We'll shout for the Holy Ghost, All in One
Oh, glory hallelujah, we will shout!

WHAT WILL YOU GIVE UP?

How can I tell them of Your undying love
And  tender mercies
that stream down from above

It's worth the living just to serve You, Lord
It's worth giving up all this world can afford
To gain the peace; the joy and comfort to my soul
Letting go of my burdens to let my Father take control
When they are sad and lonely,
I ask them, what will you give up?

How can I convince them to do your will
When all their pleasure is earthly bound still
I've got to convince them

It's worth the living just to serve You, Lord
It's worth giving up all this world can afford
To gain the peace; the joy and comfort to my soul
Letting go of my burdens to let my Father take control
Those who are lost and suffering
Tell me now, what will you give up?

PRAISE, GLORY, HONOR

I'm giving you the praise
I'm giving you the glory
I'm giving the praise and the glory and the honor to the Lord of Host.

Everything I do is through the power of You
Lord, You made a way
And that's why I'm here today
To give the praise and the glory and the honor to the Lord of Host

You helped Joshua fight the battle
You showed Ezekiel the wheel-in-the-middle-of-the-wheel
You saved Daniel from the lion
Now my soul is saved too
And I owe it all to You
Lord You made the way
That's why I'm here today
Giving the praise and the glory and the honor to the Lord of Host
