The Warrior Within

Do you see me? Do you know who I am? Every day, a warrior, fighting the battles within myself; Battles against selfishness, anger, and pride. I fight for myself and I fight for my King, For He believes in me and gives me strength where I am weak; There is nothing I cannot do with Him by my side.... Sign in to see full entry.

Father, Teach Me

Father, teach me to be humble Take this pride from my hard heart That no longer may I stumble And from thy path, I shall not part Father, teach me to be gentle Teach me kindness, teach me love That I may be an example Of thine Heavenly courts above Father, teach me to have courage When life is...

He Is There.

I sat alone and wondered "Is someone really there?" Though in my heart I knew the truth I wondered if He cared. So I knelt down by my bedside And whispered pleadingly "Father, if you're really there, can you answer me?" No voice came into my room Or to my ears that eve But I felt His peace, and knew...

Remember the Man

Remember the man, who thought of the truth, His heart was turned to God’s will for him. Remember the man who sought for the truth. He never denied the answer he was given. Remember the man, who endured through the truth, Men tried to destroy him in every way. Remember the man, who protected the... Sign in to see full entry.

Hold On

I hold on, looking for a brighter day Standing for a better tomorrow But how can I entertain this false hope? Have I not tried and failed so many times before? But I must hold on I must stand tall I call on my God for help So I can hold on But the night is so long Tomorrow is so far away The stars... Sign in to see full entry.

You Are Not Alone (Song)

When you’re at work, When you’re at school, And when you’re all alone. When you are tired Or you are lost And cannot make it on your own There is one Who will never leave your side; He will be with you always, Your counselor and guide. And He loves you, He’s engraven you upon His hands. He is there... Sign in to see full entry.

Hope for a Reprieve (Holocaust Song)

At the crack of dawn We all get up To start our grueling day of work We can’t slow down We must speed up Our difficult, tedious, dangerous work The crack of a whip The cry of a man Though cruel sounds one learns to bear them The pain it gives To work near a friend To witness their agony as they are...

Phoenix

Fiery bird in the night Crimson streaks through the dawn On the wings of the morning Feathery tail in the wind Once billowing and beautiful Hangs down shamefully Like a banner of defeat Tear falls A pearly diamond of sorrow Sorrow for the place Once called home Peace, harmony, love Taken over,...

The Darkness is Falling (Song)

The Darkness is falling; Day will soon be gone. One candle is burning and keeps flickering on. The Dark is overpowering the goodness of day; One lamp alone keeps the Darkness at bay. Don’t give up! Don’t give in! This battle’s not easy, You must fight to win Hold on to the truth! Hold on to your... Sign in to see full entry.

Gethsemane

Passover supper; time is near. One I love will betray me Into the hands of those who hate me Yet whom I love. Singing hymns to the Father, They never saw That single tear that pricked my eye And stained my hand; The tear is not for me. It is time. The quiet garden of olive trees Off a little ways, I...
