Fight for You


I feel it rise inside of me
A deep desire to see you free
I hear the pain within your words
And yearn to see it be removed
I know that pain is part of life
I know there’s purpose in your strife
But when the pressure seems so strong
When situations last so long
When hope seems almost spent and gone
When you repeat the same sad song
I wish that I could lift the load
I wish that I could join your road
Does wishing help in any way?
Does freedom come from words I say?
I’ve learnt enough to know that I can’t
Release that load that burns in your heart
But I will try with all my might
To somehow join you there in the fight
To be a friend in darkest night
To lift you up till things are right
And when the fighting’s over, finished, done
I'll celebrate for all you've won

Overflow


Only You know what I was created for
Only You were there at the beginning of time
When there was nothing but a vast expanse
Till your voice brought matter into being
Only You know what will satisfy my craving heart
Only You can see what’s missing from within me
It’s You that steps in and pulls back the curtain
It’s You that opens my eyes to the beauty
Reminding me there’s more to this world
Than those marks against my name
You’ve erased them completely
And Your plans for my future
Are unrestrained by human frailty

I can’t fix your car
Build your house
Sew your dress
And my Psych degree just
Taught me how to see stress
Your accounts I can’t balance
Your pets I can’t chase
And in a court of law
I can’t argue your case
For nursing and health care
I aint got the touch
Ironically in pastoring
I care too much
But there’s songs in my head
When I wake, till I sleep
And I think in rhymes
With a syncopated beat
I love to network
With friends far and wide
And my heart skips a beat
When dreams collide
I have visions with concepts
That match with the Word
And I’ve found different avenues
For these to be heard
So now as my kids
Will soon head to school
I’m not patting my ego
Or trying to be cool
But I’ve started a channel
With the Youtube tribe
And it would really mean alot
If my friends all subscribe!
