POETRY

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:24 ISV

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:24 ISV

The reason of our creation is to worship GOD and if worship has to be perfect it has to be in Spirit and truth. The presence of the Holy Spirit requires a clean and pure heart and the existence of truth requiers a humble and obedient mind. We struggle to maintain this balance and that is why our worship of GOD looses its balance . The lose of this balance moves us to worship things of the world that are tangible and gives us pleasure.

The worship of GOD requires effort and patience and it is only though His Word that we can know HIM. It is the Worship of GOD through Music (Songs) and Poetry that lift my heart up and in spite of my difficulties and loses , He lifts me up for HIS glory.

Worship , Music and Poetry are 3 corner stones that stand on the foundation of GOD's word and moves me to keep running this race in faith.

My first book of poetry called " Scribblings from the Edge of Heaven" is available from iTunes, do click on the pic above to get a copy.

LOOK UPON THE CROSS - 27/03/2018

Look upon the cross
It will burn away your sorrows
Look upon the cross
It will take away your sins
At the foot of the cross
All the fiery serpents will fall
All our enemies will perish

Look upon on the cross
It will create in you a new man
Look upon the cross
It will restore in you the lost light
At the foot of the cross
All wickedness will die
All lust will fade away

Look upon the cross..

HOW CAN WE STOP - 17/11/2017

How can we give up
After all You have done
How can we grow cold
After all the Love shown

Your whole body
Covered my unrighteousness
Every drop of blood
Lifted me into holiness
How can we stop loving You

How can we forget You
When every moment is Yours
How can we run away
When You call our hearts

Your whole body
Covered my unrighteousness
Every drop of blood
Lifted me into holiness
How can we stop loving You

HOME -27/08/201

This is where I grew up
Secrets were hidden in the walls
Ghosts were under the bed
And so were my angels too

In this place i have cried
I have laughed and have lied
I have hidden in plain sight
And have grown in faith

This is where I became family
Unconditional love I tasted
Sacrifices a many forgotten
Hope and joy, I saw lived

This is where I saw death's face
And also life's depth
This is where my foundations grew
And the Word came alive in flesh

This is where my memories rest
Of love, pains, joys and disappointments
This is where I will return when all is done
To rest , To be revived , To learn again.

This is Home.

MORNING WORLD - 16/08/2017

Morning World
Where do we go today
Whose life do we change
What do we say
Who do we trust
Who are our friends
Who are our enemies
Could they be one and the same

Morning World
Where do we go today
Who do we love
Why do we hate
Who do we respect
Why do we kill
When I kiss you goodnight
Will you still remember my name

Morning World
Who is your Creator
Who is your Saviour
Why do you weep and no one hears
Where do hide all your fears
Yes, you will be saved and so will them
Who love and obey the Creator

HE MADE YOU FOR ME - 06/06/2017

Time stood still that day
When you said yes
I never looked back that day
For He made you for me.
Like He made,
The waves for the seas,
The leaves for the trees,
The wind for the skies .

You stood by me,
When no one else did,
When struggles came forth,
When all hope was lost.
You gifted me,
With love and kindness,
With truth and reality ,
With two angels to keep our legacy.

You lead me,
Through the door of life,
Through the path of grace,
Through the road of faith.
I will live forever with you,
For death can't take us apart,
For He made you for me,
To be with you in eternity.

RAISE ME UP - 11/05/2017

A faith stronger than the mountains I face
A faith deeper than the seas I swim
A faith higher than the skies I fly

Raise me up
To know Your love
To touch Your face
To be Your child

Raise me up
Above the struggles
Above the fears
Above the doubts

To live Your Grace
To know Your Power
To be one with You
Raise me up

LIFE IS NEW - 10/06/2016

Life is new every morning
Yesterday's gone with the setting sun
Today's here with the morning songs of hope
My flesh is weak yet my spirit is willing
My bones are in pain yet my heart is ready
Another day,another fight,another mountain to climb
24 hours to make a difference in things I do
24 hours to take another step to change
For Perfection is not me, Perfection is "He" in me

Life is new every morning
Open your windows of reality
Yet trust in the miracle winds
Embrace the rooms of knowledge
Yet live under the roofs of wisdom
Your hands are tired,Your feet are dragging
Yet trust in who you are and will be
24 hours to make a difference in things you do
For Perfection is not you, Perfection is "He" in you

WHERE IS LOVE? - 07/06/2016

Where is the one ? , Who is genuine and true
Where is the heart ?, That is kind and pure
Where are the hands ?, That give and raise
Where are the feet ? , That lead the way
Where is the friend?, Who is one with me
Where is authenticity?, Where is sinceirity?
Where is purity ?, Where is love?
Where are all the things He spoke about?

All I see is blindness , In ever growing darkness
All I see is jelousy , In the evil eyes of men
All I see is anger , In the hands of the wicked
All I see is treachery , In the words of the arrogant
All I see is foolishnes, in the deeds of the mad ones
Where is authenticity?, Where is sinceirity?
Where is purity ?, Where is love?
Where are all the things He spoke about?

Love , in all this silence burst forth
Sing the songs of glorious days
The day you became blood
Redeeming , Cleansing ,Changing and Refreshing
The lives that were broken and torn apart
Hear our cries and flow once again in victory
Shine brigher than the sun
So that we may see you through the Son.

Love, Where are you?....

THE NEW MAN - 03/05/2016

There is a man inside,
Who clutches my heart,
Who raises my past,
Who battles against the Spirit.

There is a man inside,
Who wages a war,
Who calls me a liar,
Who pulls me away from the stars.

There is a man inside,
Who does not give me peace,
Who binds me in my fears,
Who drowns me in my tears.

Everyday, this old man I fight,
This old man I hate,
For his ways I no more heed,
His thoughts I no more need.

Fight with me my King,
Restore in me Your Spirit,
Take me on Thy wings,
Bring forth the new man.

The new man who seeks You,
The new man who wants You,
The new man who loves You,
The new man who is You.

DUST - 15/04/2016

I can't see through my darkness
For the light shines no more.
My skin burns in fear of morrow
Yet there is no fire around.

My Soul fights,within decaying flesh
My Spirit dies, in a weakening mind
Broken,my body is rotting in pleasure
Forgetting the hands that picked this dust.

Pride has covered these eyes of faith
Yet I hear His voice in my anger.
I feel His touch in my hatred
I see His face in my blindness.

I am still dust in His hands
Dust, He holds close to His heart
Dust , He gave life to
Dust , He calls His own

Humble me deeper
Break me stronger
Lead me further
As dust in Your Hands

FAMILY

We will go through tough times together
We will know grace and mercy,holding each other
We believe our past is forgiven
We know our future is secure
For the love we have for each other
Is not wordly but eternal
Given to us freely in blood
Through His Son our Saviour ....

PAIN AND PRIDE

Another day fades into memory
Hope beckons the hopeless
Fame shouts from hilltops
Sorrow hides behind the light
She stood stronger than all
Like a beacon of undying love
No power can separate this faith
For when their time is done
And their vows made again
In truth , joy and love
HE will lead them to meet
On heavenly shores
On gold filled streets
Where they will live forever, together

ANOTHER DAY

THE EARTH

The earth was brown but now crimson red
With the blood of the innocent and guilty
Flowing into the wide blue sea
No names or accolades but only a cry
For peace and forgiveness

The earth mourns and fades away
For our transgressions are too many
The everlasting covenant has been broken
Upon our lives a curse has fallen
The men of earth have been forsaken

The new wine fails
Joy is filled with darkness
Every house is shut up
No man trusts another
The mirth of the land is gone
A city of desolation is left

The sun hides away in shame
The moon seeks a new heaven
The earth reels to and fro in pain
Fear , pit and snare are upon us
There is cry for peace on the streets

A cry from the sea we will hear
Voices will lift up and sing
In the broken light, we will glorify
The name of Lord God
Of the new heaven and earth
Once the fallen never raises again.

UNKNOWN

To be unknown to man but to be known by GOD
To be forgotten in this world but be honoured by our Lord
To be poor in this land but to be rich in His hand
Is the call of the souls of ordinary
Who seek only His glory
In all seen and tasted
In all said and done

WHO STOOD TO... ?

Covering the pain with pride
Over victories and losses
Of man made boundaries
Who stood to gain ?
Who stood to lose ?
Thousands admire the sacrifice
Of one who lived for many
Of one whose future no one sees
Who stood to gain ?
Who stood to lose ?
A widow looks for solace
A child looks for comfort
A family looks for hope
Who stood to gain ?
Who stood to lose ?
Every nation needs a hero
We have given one boldly
In pain and pride we stand
Who stood to gain?
Who stood to lose?
GOD, give us strength
Jesus, show us love
Holy Spirit lead us in power
To continue to hope
To continue to give
Not for fame or recognition
Not for human accolades
But for the love of mankind
For the love and tears of
A Widow and child.
