December 29, 2011 — 1 Comment

Always in our joy, even in despair, Love, our hope, is holding us, Love is always there (full poem in link)

Love is a personal friend of mine
He’s misunderstood, but he doesn’t mind
He’s pushed to the side, but he’ll never let go
He’ll keep preaching ‘yes!’ in a world screaming ‘no!’

Love has a voice that all his friends know
He speaks of a truth that is set to explode
He speaks of a way no one expects
He speaks of a grace that removes all regrets

Love is a friend who’s always been there
He doesn’t run when the others get scared
He calls me a friend; all my secrets he knows
He stands up for me while the world throws its stones

Love is a friend; a friend like no other
He’s more than friend; he’s my dearest brother
He’s more than a brother; he’s the air that I breathe
He’s more than the air; he’s the life that I need

The CrossLove is a personal friend of mine
He’s misunderstood, but he doesn’t mind
If he feels this way then I guess its OK
to join him, and laugh, that this is the Way

Yes Love is the way; Love is divine
Misunderstood, time after time
Love is an outcast; Love is never mainstream
but Love is the Kingdom; Love is the seed

Love is the Life; Love is the Way
Love is the Truth; Love is the Day
Love is the answer to my deepest prayer
Love, my dear friend, reminds me he cares

Radically LovedLove is a personal friend of mine
He’s misunderstood, but he doesn’t mind
For Love, he assures me, will win in the end
When even his enemies will become his friends

Love is the greatest
Love is the strongest
Love is the deepest
Love is the longest

Love lifts us up
Love holds us tight
Love heals our wounds
Love makes us light

Love covers our weakness
Love makes us all shine
Love thinks we’re all perfect
Love thinks we’re divine

Love is a friend
Love is a brother
Love is a father
Love is a mother

Love is a kingdom
Love is a seed
Love is a king
Love washes our feet

Love is in all things
Love is the way
Love is eternity
Love is a day

Love is the greatest
Love is the strongest
Love is the deepest
Love is the longest

Love lifts us up
Love holds us tight
Love heals our wounds
Love makes us light

Love helps us hear
Love gives us sight
Love is our hope
Love, our delight

The King Of The Fools

June 14, 2010 — 7 Comments

Sometimes I want to cry
But my tears stay repressed,
Refusing to move
Despite my protest

Sometimes I want to groan,
Scream words I detest
But my voice, she too fails me
Despite my request

Sometimes I want to sit down
But the world makes me stand
And so I keep marching
Despite my demands

And in these strange moments
Exposed as a fool
I know of just one person
Whom I can turn to

The King of the fools
The King of the weak
The King of the hurting
The King of the meek

The King who identifies
With those in their faults
And lifts their heads up,
The King who exalts

And so I’m exalted,
Yet not through my works
But through my King Jesus
Who heals my hurts

The King of the fools
The King of the weak
The King of the hurting
The King of the meek

And so I have hope
For my King never fails
To hold me through weakness
Till his strength prevails

The King of the saints
The King of the strong
The King of all grace
To whom I belong!

(I wrote this poem based off the song in Revelation 5:9)

The Day We Step Into Eternity

The dead are alive
The sorrows at peace
The tears are dried out
The slaves are released

The joy is eternal
Love now in its prime
The saints are now one
At last, the divine!

No room for division
That era is gone
Now reigns the new heavens
Now plays the new song

“You are worthy, Lord Jesus
To open the seal
For you loved us all
To die and to heal

You paid the price
You bought us for God
That we can now live
In His endless love”

The joy is eternal
Love now in its prime
The saints are now one
At last, the divine!

No room for division
That era is gone
Now reigns the new heavens
Now plays the new song

If God is…

May 17, 2010 — Leave a comment

If God is the light,
love is the spark that makes him ignite…

If God is the way,
love is the path he chooses to take…

If God is the truth,
love is the voice he presents himself through…

If God is the life,
love is his body that makes him alive…

If God is the song,
love is the melody he balances on…

If God is the King,
love is the kingdom he reigns in…

If God is in control,
love is the only means to his goal…

If God is love,
then you are love too…for you are in him,
and he is in you.

God is love.
