Songs/Poems I’ve Written

These were all given to me by the Holy Spirit, except for If Just For Once, and the last one, Empty of Me.  This one came to me during a low point in my life, and was a result of my own emotional roller coaster I was on.

First and foremost, the two most recent prophetic songs the Father gave to me; they’re both kind of similar with the whole ‘return to me’ repetition, but they’re very different at the same time.

Listen Closely

The day is comin’, oh so near-

The day is comin’, lost in fear;

But listen child, don’t look back,

Alone and lost, a love you lack.

Can’t stop the rain, can’t stop the pain you feel.

Running so fast, not knowin’ just how real.

And I can’t tell you, no you can’t see,

And you won’t hear, when will you come to me?

(Chorus)  O’ return, My child-

I’m saying to you now!

Return to me,

Oh return unto me!

Listen close I’ll tell you how- (end of chorus)

Walk in the door, throw down your keys-

Voices so loud, won’t someone help me  please;

In all my life I’ve never been so low,

God help me now, because I just don’t know.

(chorus) And He says-

Return My child!

I’m sayin to you now!

return My child-

Oh return unto Me-

Listen closely-

Listen closely-

O’ listen closely-

I’ll tell you how- (end of chorus)

Pull out your phone, but there’s no one to call,

If we wanna get close, sometimes we all must fall;

Want so bad to know you, want you near-

Stand up,  now be strong, don’t you live in fear.

(chorus) Return My child, Return unto Me,

Return My child, I’m sayin’ to you now-

Return to Me,

Oh return unto Me!

Listen closely….listen closely….

I’ll tell you now-

Listen closely….I’ll show you how,

Listen closely, Listen closely,

I’ll tell you now-

Return Unto Me

Return to Me, Return to Me,

All of My children, Let your eyes see.

Now is the time, In the strum of My hand,

Don’t you hear music?  March with My band!

Return to Me, Return to Me,

All of My children, I’ll set you free.

Today is that day, The battle is near,

Stand firm and be strong, Stop living in fear!

I know you’re obstinate, But I need you to listen,

A message so clear, The dark prince has risen!

Return to Me, Return to Me,

All of My Children, Return unto Me!

You’ve wept and lamented, Tears fall like rain,

Suffer no more, Nor dwell in your pain!

Children get ready, Gather your places,

My bride has been waiting, Her gown trimmed in laces.

O’ children please listen!  I’m on My way home!

Come now together, Get out of the storm.

Return to Me, Return to Me,

I’m just down the street, By the old vacant tree.

Please hurry, don’t tarry, Time’s running short,

Return to Me, Dance in My court.

Don’t fall asleep, Don’t blink your eyes,

Look up and see, Return to Me-

Return unto Me.

If Just For Once…

If just for one day I could walk again, or run throughout the hills, if I could do all of those things I dreamed of and never did, then the suffering would all be worth it in the end. If for only just a moment I could stand atop the highest mountain and see the angels fly, if I could feel the summer wind blowing against my face, instead of living life as though I were in a race.

If just for one night I could dance again, and twirl about the stage, the most magical music would forever play, as my soul and my spirit would be so free and so gay. If just one last time I could feel your warm breath and touch your soft lips with kisses, your eyes would light up as flames of the fire, I would say I was strong, when you really made me weak, and I would be but a liar.

If just for one morning I could make a difference, in someone elses life; I would spread all of the love and kindness around, and graciously give all of the joy I had found. If I could go back just 10 years ago, every day would be lived as though it were my last, why must we waste so much precious time, until our future becomes our past?

Closer To You (A Song)

I found this among,

The scattered papers today;

A simple prayer, to pray.

It lifted me up, toward your light,

The beginning of this new life.

I saw you standing,

In a crowd on the street,

With just a single thing to say,

I fell down

At your feet,

And I began to pray…

Closer to You now,

I’m on the floor,

I heard you knocking

You’re at my door.

Closer to You

Answered Your call,

And You’ll be there, when I come…

After all….

I felt you pulling at my heart today,

Wounded child, with nothing much to say,

I lifted him up,

Held him near,

And I said child, there’s nothing to fear.

Cause we’re closer to you now,

We’re on our knees,

Closer to You,

Don’t let us leave please.

We’re closer to You,

Where we belong,

And You’ll be there when we come,

After all……

TEARS OF PAIN (A Song) 

Shrouds of rain…fall down,

And I can’t help, but see;

Wicked past behind me…

So much wasted time…

Wouldn’t You agree?

Evil…won’t let me be…

won’t let me be…no no no…!

Tears of pain, roll down my face…

It’s like everyone I knew—

What You did, they wouldn’t do.

You gave Your life, You sweated blood,

Mixed miracles…with mud…

You could’ve walked…away from me,

But You wanted me so near…

I’m finally free from fear…yeah!

Tears of pain, roll down my face

Like everyone I knew—

It’s what You did they wouldn’t do. (repeat twice, chorus)

Reaching up to You,

Ran out of places…to run,

I can see the sun…yeah

So God,…here I come,

Fall down on my knees,

Forgive me, I beg please.

Tears of pain, roll down my face

Like everyone I knew—

It’s what You did they wouldn’t do. (repeat twice, chorus)

You’ll dry my tears, I know.

I want to be that person, too…

Because what You did…they’d never do.

Empty of Me

There’s nothing to write,

Nothing to sing,

A heart that’s empty,

…empty of me…

I stare at a wall,

Has something to say,

But walls are blank,

From where I lay.

And there’s nothing to sing,

Nothing to say,

My words will come,

Another dark day.

I’m staring down hopeless,

A twisted spiral of shame,

Where a pointed finger waves,

“you have yourself to blame…”

When will these words come?

When will music play?

My heart completely empty,

….empty of me.

Can’t believe I’m gone,

Wouldn’t matter if I stayed,

Want to feel the music,

But it’s empty, empty of me…

Can’t believe I’m gone,

Wouldn’t matter if I stayed,

Want to feel the music…

But it’s empty, empty of me.

When I come back home,

And see me once again,

Will my words return,

Or still be empty where I’m in….?
