Dark into love

I was in the dark and you baited me
Grief had filled my heart and I could not see
I lashed to the left and right and below and above
What I needed was your love

And as I fell into the deeper than black
The only thing holding me up were the emotions I lack
A response to the bait from your ubiquitous shove
Of your mysterious love

If your goal was to annoy the hell out of all
You tried your best with me, I just wouldn't play ball
But then despite the emptiness, your peaceful dove
Brought me above to your love



God bless,

Happy Chinese New Year!


I know, I know it was last Monday. I also know I'm not Chinese. I am, however, a fan of dragons.

God bless,

Conversion of St. Paul

This is Jesus, believe it
throw down your sword and leave it.
I throw you to the ground,
make a sound, make a sound
and call me. Follow me,
get down and die and be me.
I hear you've been around,
that's why you're on the ground. And we sing:

CHORUS
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Pour into my heart your bread unleavened
Make me never the same.

I saw you,
I called you,
the blood of man now screams
it streams,
from your blade and your hate and your fear,
that's why the blind don't see, just so we are all clear.
And Stephen was leavin' and I heard his prayer,
no despair, no despair, no despair, no despair,
and in darkness I leave you in his care. with this song:

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Pour into my heart your bread unleavened
Make me never the same.

As I walked and I talked, so now you will as well.
To the jews and the gents your heart with love will swell,
cause you've hurt me you'll be in pain
that's your shame
and your boasting pride
that you will never hide.
Your heart will now love all,
brother Paul, brother Paul and you will sing to all.

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Pour into my heart your bread unleavened
Make me never the same.








This was fun, if I could rap or write music I might record it through garageband. Then I'd hear my voice and not ever publish it.

God bless,

Young David

Reading today's psalm made me think of the image of a young kid wearing a crown lopsided.
As it is I like how it turned out except for the hands, oh the nightmares that will produce....

Jonah Haiku

Faithful 'til challenged
Then stubborn childish whale bait
Fourth day to repent

The answer to the riddle from this post is.....

Nobody guessed correctly, mainly because nobody guessed. Either my readers are apathetic or my riddling skills are unbelievable (unbelievably bad or good, I'm unable to ascertain).

Anyways...
