Welcome

Look at me clearly and full in the face
And don't shake your head in disgust and disgrace
I, want to show you, the right way to go
Listen to me, and don't say no!

I'll forever be vigilant and stand at your door
I want what's the best, not to lay down the Law,
I've stood here forever, just calling your name,
All I ever want is your love to gain,

You keep turning your back and facing the wall,
You can see me die, but you can't hear me call,
I gave you a Book, so that you could turn around,
So my Spirit could work, and say, "It's you I've found"

I can see what you do with your life at your feet
I can hear what you say to your friends in the street,
So, I'll stand out here waiting, all through the night,
I'll stand out here calling, till you see the light,

You do know about me, and my love for you,
And the sacrifice I made, was made for you too,
There was no other way of you, meeting me,
I want us to be friends, like we ought to be,

I've heard you pray, when troubled times chime
Then pray no more, when things are fine,
I want you more than that, such as your heart,
Anything else shall be turned down flat,

I love you, and want you to open up your door,
I bought you, and paid for you, many years before,
So, I'll stand here, and wait for you, to bid me come in,
And the blessings you'll receive, will soon flood in,

So here is the question, I'll ask you anew,,
Opened or Closed,,,,,, What will you do?

Remember all the things we used to do
Remember how we walked and talked
How can I dismiss all the good times
When I was away, it was me you sought
Remember the evenings and days, by my side
I remember them so well
Remember picking me up, in your strong loving arms,
No matter, how many times I fell
Remember the time, when I told you this,
That my innermost feelings, just wanted to be loved
I needed the reassurance of your gentle touch
Then I got the feeling, like I knew I would
I got the feeling of your love all around
From deep within me, without making a sound
And then something happened, we drifted apart
The further the distance, the more pain in my heart
I knew what I was missing
And yet, I was too stubborn to say
Alone with my slumbering wretchedness,
On my makeshift bed, I lay
I wanted to be loved and yet was rejected
I wanted your friendship, as I needed you
The pain was so unbearable
I needed your assurance, as I had been a fool.
Remember me, as I cling to your name
I know that things, will not be the same
How many times have I said these words to you
I'm sorry,,,,,,,,, so sorry, can I start anew
And yet you forgive me, Every,, single time,
No matter what trials I go through
You're always there by my tender side
Whispering,,,,,,, Hello,,,, I love you.
Now I hear you, as my silent tears fall
Thank-you for listening Lord, You are indeed, My All.

A friend of pleasure that I count all gain
A soul of leisure that yields no pain
A fragment of time I haven't shared in vain
A friend that I've loved still the same
A counselor of woe out of a troublesome mind
A caresser of feelings, that is soothing and kind
A friend in a billion, I think you'll find
That eases all worries, time after time,
A solitary place, where I can go to be free
With me, with my Friend, on bended knee
A fashionable place where I go to be free
Where I sit with my friend, and he hears me.
A safer place, I have not found
With my head buried close to the ground
A silent whisper can still the sound
Where still and quietness, is heard all around,
A quiet disregard, of the world and its ways
A fortunate time, in these last final days
My friend will help me, keep the world all away
So my friend will keep by me, and together we'll stay
And in my quietness I see his face on that hill
The face of my Lord, loving me still
Knowing the pain, that he paid in full my bill
And knowing inside, it was my Fathers will
So captivated and fooled by the world and its wrong
Thinking and believing it was where I belonged
Untill I heard of the Lord, of him dying on that tree
A sacrifice of sovereignty, and he did it all for me
He called me to him, as he did love me so
He called, and he called me, and did not let me go
And now the blood has covered, the seeds, the world has sown
And the knowledge of his love, has indeed been made known.
Oh sure, a selfish life indeed was led
The harsh words that I had spoken, and the things that I had said
A cold and weary heart, was ruled by my head
And the sins of my life indeed, I had surely fed
So cold and weary, and sick and sore
My heart wasn't filled, and wanted all the more
Blinded by my sin, scrambling on the floor,
Until I heard a knocking, and scrambled to find the door
And that is when I saw the light, as I asked him to come in
The Lord of Heaven, and of Earth, had covered all my sin,
And I saw him in his fullness, with Glory all around
And I stood still for one moment,,,,, and hardly made a sound
And so when I speak with my heart open wide
I see my friend there, and in him I confide,
He'll always be there, and in my heart he'll abide
Of course I'll always know, that for me he chose and died
And I know he became alive, as he lives within my heart
And I know he'll never leave me, or decide, to depart
His love is engraved deep, within, inside my heart
And now I know I have to stop, so that Jesus can make a start.

Oh Lord,, for it is a simple tune I sing,
Forever to you my cares I bring,
I cling to you oh help me please,
Help my soul, Oh Lord, at ease.

It is but a problem I face this nigh,
My crippled heart is an aching sigh
My soul it reaches to only but you
Help me Lord if thou wilt do.

Hold me father as I cry my tears
Unforgiving of sin, I cry out in fear
Too many doubts about the journey thus far
Hold me Lord, on your promised Star.

I yearn for freedom, for normal in mind
Tighter it goes, like clockwork I wind
Increasing the pressure of a sprung metal coil,
Daily it happens, and daily my toil.

I know I can cling to the promise of yours
Of never leaving or forsaking what's yours
And I cling to this promise, and hold on to it tight
It will help me get through, the rest of this night.

Sin,,, it is a real problem a foe we can't defeat
An enemy in disguise a force we cannot beat
It is everywhere around us within the people that we see,
Like a virus within our own the pleasures from which we flee,

We grapple head to head, this foe we can't bring down,
Struggling to get free, this umpteenth time around,
It hacks into our minds and searches for the weak
It manipulates our thoughts from which we dare not speak

And it reaches in, and gnaws away, in an unrelenting fashion,
But we dare not feed it, no we daren't for fear to turn our passion,
We endure and carry onwards with this gnawing in our minds
The only way we can soften it, is in Jesus Christ we find

We fight for all that's Holy to live lives from His Book
To read and pray through every page from Sin would have us pluck
Our eyes are fixed on Jesus the Saviour of our Soul
And as a thankful ready people we give to him our all,

And if we stray today to look around and take our eyes off Him
Satan pounces as an angry dog and stirs the pleasures within,
We try to wrestle with him and put him to the ground
But if we are not focused inevitability will be found

And when we awaken with our faces in the dirt
And the light within dims and our whole body hurts
And our Soul is screaming from the Hurt that's within
And we try and run from, the sepid stench of Sin,

We try to remember of where we went awry
We realise our foolishness so back to Christ we cry.
So of course the Lord He welcomes, back to His open arms
We tell Him of our wrong to Him He puts to bed our calms

And when we see His smiling face and the Glories that surround
We cannot help but throw ourselves at His feet onto the ground
It is so much an endurance this fight to keep our Soul
But Satan will try and steal it, so the Love of Christ we hold.

And we endure to carry onward with this gnawing in our mind
And we rest our problems with this Jesus
The Saviour of Mankind.

Fisher of wishes
And dreamer of dreams,
Hoping upon hope,
As nothings what it seems,
Dreaming for some better days,
In oh so many ways
Captivated by the world,
And the issues it seems to raise,
But the hoper in us all,
And the dreamers of desire,
Wish for better things,
In all that we admire,
And the hopers within us all,
Will reach out and stand tall,
And persevere and admire,
Till the objects we require,
And nothing seems to say,
Hold on, there's a better way,
As we clamber for our places,
In our modern day to day,
Filling up our hearts,
Of desires, which to hold,
Trying to fill with joy,
And get from Winters cold,
And yet nothing seems to fill,
Our empty barren soul,
It is yearning for that something,
To fill that empty hole,
And you can't seem to fill,
From what the world has to give,
So look up to the Heavens,
In order that we should live,
And look at what God has offered,
And look at what He's done,
He gave to us his peace,
Through his Eternal Son.

As I clambered for my place on this Planet I called my home
My empty heart and saddened face, discontented did I moan,
With my heart full of sadness and Tear-drops full of woe,
No joy abounds with gladness, as the tear-drops overflow,

My life was but dependant, to feel alive once more
Wallowing in discontentment, numbing the pain of war,
This war of right and wrong that raged within my soul
Numbing it to a new song that rages within us all,

But for most,,,,,, start a new start, as they hear the words of love
A renewing of their own heart by Grace from up above,

And so,,,,

Last night I talked of bad times and took rest on solid ground
And agreed to follow the Son of God cos He's the King I've crowned,
And I asked him for forgiveness for the error of my ways,
And both my Eyes were opened up, now my heart shall surely stay

And yesterday I saw him for the first time in my while
And this morning when I woke, I had that everlasting smile,
And I'll always know how much He cares, and that He's my number one,
The journey was made so clear to me, by his,, eternal Son,

So now I talk of good times, which far outweigh the bad,
And whenever I start to feel low, I see the friend I have,
And I see Him for all his Glory, and I feel Him in my heart,
And this is where I have to stop,
So that Jesus can make a start.

Sing a song, a new song
To the beating of your heart
Forever going onwards
The midst of time departs

Gather up your promises
And look to Heaven above
Grasp within your own heart
This gift of timeless love

For He is, the gift of all Salvation
As He holds the keys of time
You can, now, become a new creation
When you say, that "Jesus is mine"

So cross the carnal boundaries
And enter His Salvation
And sing a song, a new song
To this "Timeless Revelation"

High above the world unseen
With my life at my command
Watching the rivers of death run by
In this green and pleasant land
Rivers of blood, that are shed by man,
As they trickle slowly by,
Caused by Wars near and far,
There is no reason why
Death is so absalute
As I walk this green and pleasant land
But death is all about me
In all this land I find
But greeness can be seen
Against the speckled spots of blood
The greeness of the trees
As they climb gently within the wood
But on the riverbanks
There tells a different story
Of man and all his wisdom
Causing Wars for all his Glory
Yet, I can come here
To find the truth and reason why
The Laws of the Governments
The Truth they cannot hide
But all about me, there is greed
A sinful thing, I know,
The German army knew this
As they lay dying in Russian snow
But yet the wind does softly blow
And the ripples of life go by
These Wars will get more common,
And more men shall surely die.
So on this letter I will write
Of life not yet seen
And yet all the Wars on earth
Will never see where I have been
And gently down the riverside
At the graveyard I will stand
And yet I look about me
And see a green and pleasant land.

When you go home today and you rest in your bed
These may be your thoughts as they fly round your head
As you lie in your bed with your thoughts late this night
And you reflect on the day that has passed by your sight
And you wonder of the morrow and all its delight
And your head seems heavy as your thoughts take flight
You wonder to much,, how you'll get through it all
As the days melt to years and they are taking their toll

And the world so it seems,, is to be having a ball
But your world is darkened by the worries you hold
This bleak life of yours has the responsibility of one
And you fumble for your happiness but you are undone
And the daylight dawns , but still you see dark
And your energy weakens you, in making your mark
You don't see the dawn and you don't see the light
For you're blinded by your grasp, and its just within sight

Focusing on darkness where the light never shone
You endevour too see a glimmer, but you are undone
You don't see your focus, and that it was, still the same
As it was when you were younger, now you're focusing in vain

Money riches glory power, you may never will attain
Even if you did, still your focus would be the same
The things of life you count on, you don't require at all
Jesus is the only one, that can save you from your fall

At the moment you are playing a pawn in the devils evil game
Grab on hold of Jesus, who will deliver you from your shame
Jesus came and died for you, and came and lived as man
And He came with one objective, to Save, of course He can
He came and bled and died for you, a savior through and through
He lived and breathed and died in pain, it was all just for you
Of course I do not wish to say He will give you what you grasp
He will of course give his dying Love, and that my friend will last

If you truly are repentant and cry forgiveness in your plea
He will give you by His Grace a Saviour, a Saviour to which to flee
But beware my friend of this of fresh battles which to win
Your soul may be sanctified but you still will have sin
But in the path of Gods love, the deed has been done
The despair of life is over, and the war is won
So, as you lie in your bed, with your thoughts late at night
And you reflect on the day that has passed by your sight
And you wonder of the morrow and all its delight
Rest on this Saviour, and watch the rest take flight
You now have a choice about which pathway you should go
Just go the way of Jesus, Its Him you ought to know
