Beaten with many stripes, body soared and pained. Non heard my plight, was mocked, was disdained. The thorns; my crown, ate into my flesh. My blood gashing down; soul, extremely distressed. I ignored their questions; i answered them not. They took my possessions; they did cast lots. Villified, but still determine; to finish my goal. Un-imaginable, my sufferings, was taking its tole! I bore sins, convictions, with two have noughts; thieves. What a great contradiction; against things i taught. Hanging from a cross, i, left to die. Soldiers, without remorse, being silent, i cried. My god my god, i call out; i thirsted. My friends scattered abroad, i, bore the curse. Forgive them my father, i pleaded, looking above. This was his answer: son, this is love!

Dust in my eyes
Blood on my face
Up in the mountains
Getting closer to space
The mountains will tell you
Which way to go
The mountains will tell you
When to go slow
Unlike the city
Which is ruled by time
Time to come and go
With bells to remind
Life in the mountains
Will help you unwind
Sun’s there to guide you
Shadows on its peaks
Pointing the right way
Closer and closer it speaks
Of a long desperate journey
Alone

I Bring to you my wounded soul
My heart can mend its own
For my soul is not my claim
Its yours, I learnt this as i grow
So tell me Lord, if you love my soul
Why is it in despair?
I know I'm not the only one
So to seek answers for me alone will be unfair
Oh Almighty God, God of Moses, Elijah and David
Where are you when i call,?
When I shout and scream to the top of my voice
'OH MY GOD, rescue my injured soul"
You can make the choice
But for me, there is no sleep and the desire to eat is gone
Should I count you the same as my appetite my God
"Gone"
But if you exist,why torture me, and leave me here in this cruel earth alone
And imagine the words on man comfort the broken by what the call your own word
'Your ways are higher than our ways, your thoughts are higher than our thoughts, no one can understand your council My God'
So is your promise true? If your words are life so then answer!
'why have you abandoned those that need you so much'

Jonah guardian angel
Great prophet
of Israel
teach me how to write
In God's path
You ran away from the Lord
On a passage
From a seaport
Of Joppa

God commands everything
On a ship
heading away
Everything in his creation
He blew upon the water
Sending a storm

Threatening to break
the ship asunder
A terrified crew
they began casting lots
Coming to the conclusion
Jonah was responsible

For the raging storm
He asked to be
Thrown overboard
Failing this
A small boat
from the ship

They began
rowing for the shore
The waves
they just kept
getting higher
Afraid of God

The sailors
Cast him overboard
Into a storm
raged sea
The water became calm
A sacrifice
they made

As the crew
swore vows
To God the almighty
Instead of drowning
Got swallowed
by a whale

In the belly
Jonah cried
Repenting with tears
In the Almighty
Lord's name
Praising him
to the highest

In poetic statements
salvation came from
The Lord Almighty
Inside the giant
Of a fish
For three days

God commanded
The whale
to vomit
The redundant prophet
On dry land

This he obeyed
His master's call
Walking through Nineveh's
Proclaiming in forty days
Destruction of the city
From the weather
To the whale

A supernatural rescue
On land his hair
bleached white
Ghostly his linen
From the whale's
stomach acid
His skin pale

Surprisingly
the Nineveh people
Believed Jonah's message
Wore sackcloth
Covering themselves
In ashes
Hiding in shame

Almighty God
Had compassion
Sparing them in his mercy
He did not destroy the city
One of wickedness
Israel's enemy
Spared

Stopping outside
the city to rest
God he provide
a vine
Shelter from the warm
Baking sun

Again he questioned God
Jonah was very angry
With the Almighty
Questioning
Why did he spare
the enemies
Sworn unto
Israel

Next day
God provided a worm
That ate into the vine
Withering and dying
Grew faint
in the sun
Jonah he complained again

God scolded
him severely
No concern
was shown for the vine
What about Nineveh
Population 120,000
lost souls
As the story goes

He spent three days
In the inside of a whale
The same length
Our Lord Jesus
In the tomb
You are the salvation
Of lost souls

Thinking he knew better
Than the Lord
Who shows mercy
With forgiveness
To all people
Who repent

In a life defying God
Speaking in openness
With all honesty
Wise is to obey
The one who loves
Us the most
praised
in the Heaven's

God do you have a minute can we talk
I know it’s been a long time but this road I’m on its getting hard to walk
And when the day is gone I find myself lost in thought
Like how the hell did we get here and when did the love just disappear
Or does it just appear to be gone because my life’s been one struggle to another
They say in god were all brothers well how the hell can we rape and kill each other
It’s like the worlds gone crazy a murder takes place and the media replays it daily
They said Jesus saved me but I’m still in trouble
If were made from dirt mine must have come from the rubble of a collapsed structure
Because all my life I’ve been self destructive it’s no wonder the devils my sworn enemy
I can’t even be a friend to me sometimes I sit and wait for the end to come to me
I guess it aint meant to be they say god has a plan a time and place all you have to do is pray
So I say God take me and use me break the mold of the old me and set free the one I’m supposed to be
Let thy will be done upon me one people united under the promise of a golden sun.

"AS IF the shadows pass,
i am the hoop on the loops,
while the Act's on loose...
try not to rearrange the path,
to repent is to ACT,
but regret is the fACT,
so i shall not forget...for those who have got the ACT"

I came through your town at a different time of the day
It was getting late darkness was just a stones throw away
And God seemed so close to me his spirit was revealing

Through fading clouds a flickering star in the sky
I noticed your Wednesday evening service had began
As I slowly drove by

The door was open and a light was burning
I knew that soon humble people would begin to pray
I came through your town at a different time of the day

As i sit here and wait
i see the rain coming
down outside and how
lucky i am to be inside
where it is warm.
For others do not have
that privilege they do
not know what it is like.
They cold hungry and alone.
I have GOD with me he
makes my life complete.
HE loves me.
I pray that for thee.
Your father watches over
all of his children.

My Love where have you gone
You have left me all alone
I’ve waited year after year
Waiting and waiting to hear

Are you far over the ocean and seas
Where gulls swiftly fly merrily
Or at the peak of a mountain top
Where the clouds fly by non-stop

My heart wishes to hear from you
It craves to see only one view
For it sees only with feelings
Desiring for the love that is healing

My dear where are you now
My love for you abounds
Wherever you are would be home
Please no longer leave me alone

A soft breeze blows gentle
From ancient winds
Bringing back memories of pain
Unfelt ever since
Tell me, to what great solitude
Does the darkness give
Only a breath of asylum
So that I may live

Let us be of addiction
And dark light mass
Peer into a world
Made of broken glass
Let us explore the cavities of
A realm unknown
Only to find a sactuary
Less than thrilled to be our own

Let us be of legends
And tales untold
Let us be of darkness
And the secrets
Only it can unfold
Let us be of peace
And a journey afar
Praying to some godly beast
We never know who we really are

We can think back on this day
Only every now and then
Never revealing to everyone
Who we've always been.
