Well Spring
Wells that narrow and darken deep,
Calling down where echoes meet,
Despair is death, parched and dry,
The Rock did bleed; He won the fight.
Up springs moisture, as grown men cry,
A thimble of hope and faith thin twine,
pull up water, teeming with life.
Drenched with joy, peace and calm,
powerful presence, as waves smooth stones.
Endless love, too far to see,
filling vessels, leaked and weak.
Rivers fed from holy streams,
prayer moves motion, as deep calls deep.
Monkey Trap Man
Throw it off, what weighs you down -
Chalk the hands, the climb is now.
A fly in the honey, obedience late - pride of the heart, keeps me away.
I see the sorrow, how bitter the shame - Have you repented, can you be saved?
Please don't stall out, at the foot of the cross - afraid of your shadow, eternally lost.
So close to rebirth, you must leave it behind - take nothing with you, please get this right.
Monkey trap man, just can’t let it go -
so much to gain - come let me show!
The Spiritual Man
Heart, a human rudder
Mind, a helm to steer
Body, holds the vessel
Spirit, sails through fear
Kill the mirror man today,
finally put him down.
Live now as a sacrifice,
mercy is your crown.
Watchmen Nee, by his bed,
Praying, Jesus now!
Soulish tides, shipwreck self,
Holy Spirit, show me how.
With power from a risen king,
I rest in Your authority.
Wabi Valley | Sabi Self
A Tricky place, this valley be A war for a wedding
Some may say, a dichotomy
Things that grow
Plan to see
Water from the mountain peak
Rivers quench a soul in need
Comfort becomes an enemy
Seeds in soil, reach for light
Up they grow, in darkest nights
There's sine, wave in sight
Inhale the struggle
Exhale to fight
Desire for more, than just to survive
Dream for greater, we're built for the climb
The roots of oak
Moves past the stone
Search for water
in darkness below
Stretch, reach, and run
Breath deep and know
A changing of seasons
The hot and the cold
You see how it’s tricky?
Don’t get lost in the Fray
Muscles get torn
There's strength in the pain
Drag your heart to the river
Fill your will with some might
Peace in the valley
Prepares you to fight
Demons and devils, they've been defeated
Jesus did pay, the ultimate price
The dangerous monster, deep in this valley
Selfish men, defiant to Christ
It's a love like no other
Compels us to climb
We fight as His bride
Get up and Go
There's joy in the stride
Power in weakness
For those who abide.
