A DREAM LOST

The dream God had put in my heart has disintegrated into dust.
It turned into a bust
my heart is crushed
before all is lost
I must move forward and find a new dream. 

What do I do now?
where do I go?
My life is moving in slow mo.
So many questions left unanswered.
I hope this doesn't leave me plastered.

Can I still be the faithful servant and
continue to follow my master?
I can no longer do what I loved.
my soul has died, and
I am left here crying in agony.
I thought this was your will?

I put in the sacrifice and hard work like you said to, yet,
my pertinence has not paid off.
I'm in turmoil sputtering and utterly lost.
My mind is in need of repair
I yell out in my deepest darkest despair
"God! Why have you forsaken me?"
I close my eyes and pray.

I awaken from my silent depths
and I am transformed.
A new sense of purpose has entered my soul.
A new vision is in my sights
I will surrender to you.
God's will be done.

You see, a lost dream is like death.
It never dies but becomes reborn into something new,
something better than it was before.
I had nothing, now I have everything
like the lotus flower blooming in the mud
my mind has become transcended.
Have faith
have hope
believe.

THEN YOU CAME ALONG

I was searching
looking outward
looking inward
traveling to the highest mountains
and hottest deserts
journeying to sacred lands
in search of meaning, in search of love.
I prayed day and night
to find you
I was about to give up hope...

Then you came along and stole my heart
without judgment, without hate
this is our fate
your blinding light from above
penetrated deep within my soul and saved me.

Darkness had surrounded me like a blind man searching for sight
my heart breaking, being shattered in two
I was lost and could not be found
I didn't know what to do.
Even though the church discouraged the sin that was in me
Temptation beckoned me
and I fell to the addictions of life...

Then you came along and stole my heart
without judgment, without hate
this is our fate
your blinding light from above
penetrated deep within my soul and saved me.

I was teetering on the edge
trembling with fear
caught in between shadow and light
I was weary and heavy laden
the thick smoke gaged me
like a zombie, I needed to get rest
but did not know who to give it to
I had no one to trust
my faith was low
I cried out in pain
"Please help me! I need your love! Where are you?"... 

Then you came along and stole my heart
without judgment, without hate
this is our fate
your blinding light from above
penetrated deep within my soul and saved me.

A LIFE WORTH LIVING

God is the truth, the light, and the way.
Follow him, and you will see
who you are supposed to be.
You sense the eyes of the world are watching you.
judge no one
love all. 

Stuck in the mire
can't lift yourself out
you have met fear.

You feel your life is going down the drain and you can't escape
you are trying in vain to go higher.
You feel it's no use so you just let go
love you do not know,
your heart has been cut too many times now
for life to go on.

Self-doubt, self-pity
a martyr you are
you have given up hope.

Hold on, don't let go, let hope arise.
Now is the time to let God's grace
pull you away from your
self made funeral pyre.

If you listen really hard you can hear
the angels sing.
it's beautiful and strong, for 
God has come to rescue you from
a life that's worth living.
