Work In Progress....No Name

I was inspired to write this yesterday morning. People always tell me I should try songwriting since I write poetry. I can honestly say I've tried and it's harder than it seems. However this is the first poem that I felt had song potential. It would be a simple song of course but its a start. I guess I'll see where the Lord leads. I'll be sure to keep you updated. Since this is still a work in progress it has no name yet.



In this task you've chosen for me
I want to work Lord, so fervently
Giving my time and breaking my will
Serving you with all my skills
Let my light always shine for you
In all I say Lord, in all I do

Don't let me fall or give up the fight
Let me always walk in your light
If doubt ever clouds my view
Let me catch a glimpse of you
And should I stumble while I strive
Take my hand and guide my life

Lord give me strength to do your will
To serve in your kingdom and work in your fields
Keeping my hands ever on the plow
I'll be your servant, I'll be your child

For it is all that my heart desires
To hear you saying, well done my child
To know that I could faithful be
Heeding your calls when you speak to me

Words

A gift from God. A powerful tool. The beginning of love. An abused privilege.   The beginning of fights.  The destroyer of trust. The ink we dip our pens into. The paint of speech.  Words.     ~ Kesheena Words .  The beginning of comprehension. They're the basis of communication among mankind. A talent taught to the youngest of babes from the beginning of life. A powerful tool that, when used correctly enhances our existence yet, is capable of destroying our emotional balance when not. An ability that we often misuse and abuse. Words begin to bombard us the minute we become conscious in the morning. The only reprieve we have from them is when slip into the blissful, unconsciousness of sleep in the night. Even then words continue to permeate our subconscious mind.  There is no escaping them.   Many of us don't realize what power we have within us. The words we use may affect people in ways we aren't even...

Opportunities

A lonely boy headed to nowhere fast. Taking the much walked road running from his past. Going towards disaster. Every failure makes him faster. Till he’s almost out of sight. Hidden by the darkness of night. Trudging through the woods like homeless seeking refuge. Standing beneath a tree as the rains deluge. Will he survive the harshness of life? Can he move on and lay aside his strife? Are the wounds on his knees the only thing he sees? As he leans against the tree, his heart longing to be free, does he know that there is more? A better life God has in store? Just a solitary child, largest smile, spirit mild. Simply asking for some love. Raising her head she looks above. Searching across the skies but no help in sight, a little more of her dies. She’s suffering, hurting, crying, begging. Just wanting someone to hold her. Let her cry on their shoulder. Tell her “girl, I love you.” Not cheap words but feelings true. For too often she’s seen those with eyes glowing green. As they ch...

Forgiveness

Talking about forgiveness in church tonight reminded me of this poem. It's one of my first ones. I was experimenting with styles at the time. I'm not really sure what this one though. Anyway, enjoy! O what a great thing forgiveness is It floods our souls, cleansing every corner Reaching down to the most unworthy To the sinner it stretches forth Man cannot begin to conquer To explain, to tell us how The greatest thing called forgiveness Causes every knee to bow The feeling that engulfs the heart Can never be explained Let all the men forever say Let forgiveness reign in hearts today 4/2/09
