Instructions for Me

Take my hand and hold it tight.
Grab my waist and never let go.
Don't let me fall or stray too far.
Don't make me cry but smile all the time.
Be my hero and protect me while I sleep.
Be my friend and listen when I speak.
Show me you care and take me seriously.
Show me your soul, from the inside out
Make me love you and never regret it.
Love me openly and always mean it.

Heaven Bound

It's okay to cry
It's okay to be angry
just not all the time.
It's okay to play a joke
It's okay to poke
but not all the time.
I need a break
I need a rest
from the hate
from the anger
Let me breathe for a sec
Let me be me
to love
to laugh
to dance
to read
to praise God,
if you please.
It's okay if you don't agree
It's okay if you don't believe
you can join or step aside
cause I'm heaven bound.

Heaven is the Place

Heaven is the place where dream so
where dreams are reality
and fantasy is no more.

Heaven is the place where love soars
where angry feelings are no more
and red hearts are worn.

Heaven is the place where strangers meet
where strangers are friends
and enemies don't exist.

Heaven is the place where true love flies
where God reigns
and his children as filled with bliss.

Heaven is a place hat's not here now
but once Jesus comes
we'll all be called home.

The Fight

Alone in this endless battle.
Fighting alone
against many.
No where to hide,
no where to find shelter.
Forced to face the enemy
forced to take a stand.
Decisions need to be made
friends need to be lost
As fast as they came
they will easily be forgotten
I will fight against this oppression
I will release myself from this torcher
No more sitting quiet
no more silent battles
cause I'm speaking up
I'm letting everyone know
I may be hatted
I may be disliked
But I got something they don't
Grace and favor
And Jesus Christ

My Duty

Midnight falls once again and I feel my duty to pray.
"Now I lay myself to sleep, I pray to the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, I pray to the Lord my soul to take."
I bow my head and close my eyes and list blessings on the people of my life.
I try to remember them all, every last one of them,
and maybe someone will actually hear my call.
Morning falls once again and I feel my duty to pray.
"Thank you Lord for this lovely day,
thank you Lord for waking me up today."
I bow my head and close my eyes and list blessing on the day.
I step outside and its all has been forgotten,
The bus is late, I forget my homework,
some kid stepped on my shoe, my essay wont print,
I'm locked out of my room.
Midnight falls once again and I feel my duty to pray.
