The Light of Sight

He opened my eyes so I could see
The power of his light
For once I saw His light so dim
But now it shines so bright.

Now I see what I was once
For He changed me from within
I tried to fight to live my life
But, I found I still had sin.

It's hard to live a sin-free life
But I know that I should try
To do the things He has planned for me
Before the day I die.

I love my Lord unconditionally
For I know what's wrong or right
He changed me into the man I am
A man that now has sight.

Let It Go

Playing it safe just so
Your heart won't break
Neither hot nor cold 
So nothing is at stake

Afraid to open up to 
What you may find inside
The threat of breaking
It's just easier to hide

The numbness of
Feeling completely torn
Has left you feeling 
Weighted, lonely, worn 

So you smile and pretend
Life's somewhere inside
So the world won't know 
The emptiness you hide

It's easier to pretend
It is all in your control
When is it finally time
To just let it go? 


Take a look inside 
Call upon His name
Accept His saving grace
Let go of anger's flame

Your freewill hangs in the
Balance with your heart
Only you can choose 
To let grace have a part

Drop onto your knees 
Give up self control
Let the tears fall down 
Only you can let it go

Let your heart break free
Let hurt turn to healing
Love will cast out fear
Numb will turn to healing
Just let it go.

God Mockers

Lonely people are everywhere,
all alone in their despair.
Abandoning God years ago,
and their faith they did forgo. 

Lonesome souls now do roam,
far away from heaven's throne.
Seeking love in the wrong places,
to fill the void and empty spaces.

Rootless spirits in the world alone,
fruitless seeds they all have sown.
Don't really belong here or there,
and they don't seem to even care.

Divided minds always searching for,
that which took them from His door.
For they no longer seek or knock,
now that they have all left His flock.

The world has so much more to offer,
and now they are God's biggest mocker.
But, they may come back to Him one day,
and I pray I can help and show the way.

James 5:19-20

Truth

There are times when the truth is not what we want to hear,
Then perhaps question it, almost before it reaches the ear.
When the truth's been disguised, it's difficult to recognize,
Then as it's revealed, it may catch some people by surprise.

Truth of the activity's of some, if known, would cause shame,
Instead of being what they pretend, mud would be their name.
As the truth's known, some may receive credit that's past due,
For they're behind the scenes doing those things others want do.

The place to go if the fountain of truth we seek to discover,
Is God's Word, for there it is contained from cover to cover.
God's instruction book to man that he can live a truthful life,
Dealing with the events that could cause him trouble and strife.

Jesus is the way, truth and life, only through Him is God reached,
And that's the way it is, no matter how differently it's preached.
He said, trust him, we'll know the truth and it will set us free,
Although He said this some years ago, He meant it for you and me.
