The Lord in his mercy, lavished his grace upon me, swept me out of the darkness and brought me before him in the Light. Since then he has blessed me with a hunger to share what he has taught me, and here today I share my writings...

Irgendwann
The wind causes drift
Adding weight to my heart
I long for the day
Our symmetrical lives start
A flower can only bloom
In the perfect season
An intricate design
I long for the day
Your hand will be mine
Roses explode with beauty
Yet, thorns grow on their back!
My heart, pricked with trials
I long for the day
Sharing a lifetime of smiles
Fear, like rain falls heavy
Clothes of cold n’ sopping wet
Tightly clinging to the skin
I long for the day
When your heart is mine to win
This life of sovereign creation
Divine Romance is base
His foundation for this Life
Someday
I'll answer “I do” to my wife

Divine Appointment
By random chance?
Or Divine Appointment?
He is lost in her gaze
She is faint in his presence
He adores her nurture
She adores his character
He makes her laugh
She makes him warmly smile
He leads their way
She guides their way
Together they dance on with life
From the alter to the grave
God is good.
My Heart Explodes
A collage of fragile pieces
Free from worldly guile
The Good News brings a smile
O Father, why Love?
Every reason for wrath
Yet, crushed in my place
A gift, cocoon of Grace
Times I feel beaten
Yet my soul does not bleed
His blood truly does heal
Brings forth heavenly zeal
You chose me first
Mercifully awakened
Grace, I ask for more
From my King I adore

Becoming a Man
Tonight I met a man
He was familiar
Bewildered and clothes tainted
Journeyed beyond the middle road
Into the timid gutters of passivity
Wrestled to the gutter of barbarism
Yet he answered his calling
Walked the straight path
Where he was bathed in light
That washed what he did not see
And it was the middle Road
I met a man who resembled me
Sunday, October 28, 2007
I will…You are
with all my heart
with all my mind
Your love is divine
I will walk with you
through valleys so low
through mountains of high
Your always my guide
I will hold you
in my darkest hour
in my brightest day
You’re the only way
Sunday, October 21, 2007
A reflection of Psalm 77
Aloud to you, for you hear my voice!
This day, my heart is heavy
Polluted with weighty desires
Lacking joy in my salvation!
Despair chokes my joy.
I’m thirsty, but refuse to drink
Has your steadfast love seized?
Will I remain in the Shadows?
Father, will I again breathe your grace?
Will you again drown me in your Light?
I crawl broken with a heavy heart!
Tonight, I will remember Your right Hand!
I will focus on the fountain of grace!
You are My God! My Rock, My Salvation!
Sacrifice of Your Son, the gift of full atonement
Father I am your Son, adopted by blood
Saved by Your Grace and Mercy, Father!
You are my God, the God of Jacob!
I remember your wonders!
Father you have been my Shepard!
Guiding me through trials
Through my own Sea, by your Strength
Lost in Trials, You are my compass
You have already carried my heavy heart!!

Change
Whispered secrets into my heart
The summer air went cold
My security faded with tears
Pride became a dark cocoon
And Despair quickly got old
A blinding Light shone bright
Sweet taste and a warm touch
Could this be the feeling of Love?
A Heavy storm far from over
Seasons continually bring change
Sovereignty rains from above
My heart obeys and grieves
Follow the Divine path ahead
Walk in joy and look forward
To the fresh new spring leaves

My Broken Ship
Vanishing hope and weary regret
My heart a lost ship at sea
Drifting with a storm’s palm
Silence has fallen upon me
A weak vessel floating off
With little direction or joy
The Sails slump, I’m lost
My bearings remain coy
Tears break from the heavy sky
Thunder crackles in the angry air
Wind casts me off to darkness
My heart fading into despair
And Yet a Light pursues me
O Lord, shine down your light
May it burst through the heavens
In your sea of mercy shine bright
O Lord, you are my captain
My compass of direction and hope
To lead my heart out of despair
Help me bring the Cross into scope
Floating hope and growing joy
My Heart a Strong Ship at Sea
Sailing under the Lord’s palm
By His Love, Grace and Mercy

Psalm 62
For you chose with mercy, to save me
Your arms shelter the blast of my fears
Steadfast love for thousands of years
Father, I am nothing with out you,
I yearn to bask in your goodness
You Alone, have given me solid ground
A Beautiful Grace that is so profound
In your palms, I shall not be greatly shaken
I'm dependent on your hand, Father
Trapped between an enemy and a sea
You Alone, Have already set me free
Standing on the waves, in a great storm
I sink in fear, begin to drift with the winds
But you are my refuge, my rock, my glory
O' Lord, the sovereign author of my story
I lay my fears and worries before You
Joy in my salvation, my heart is Yours!
My trust is upon my Rock, upon You wholly
You are my Salvation, My joy is in You fully
Those who balance their hope on others
Are unstable walls, they will be shaken
Disappointment will fall on the false power
We're dependent on You, every waking hour
All I have is You Father in Heaven
Rest my trusts on your Mercy and Grace
With Your power and love, I've been freed
O Father, You alone, is all I will ever need

To My Beautiful Children
I’m not the father I can be
My thoughts, a stupid poem
Memories cutting away
I just wish you were home
Tonight I cleaned your room
An empty bed, dusty toys
A smile to catch the tears
I wake up, maintain poise
His giggles echo in the room
Her smile brightens my day
Joyful hearts and a silly daddy,
Who is trying not to slip away
All I want is to love my God
And be the father he is to me
To guide you my children
To the one who died on the tree
But tonight, I sit here in self loathe
The choices I made, Godly Sorrow
But God in his Mercy, saved me
We shall not worry about the morrow
We have our prayers, trust in God!
In Prayer I can be right there
Trust the Lord, my children
Do not regret, or despair
At night when you miss me
Turn in prayer to our Lord
Seek first his kingdom, trust him!
As your daddy has every tear poured
Know too, that there is Jesus
Salvation by Mercy and Grace
Follow him, my beautiful children
He’ll rescue you from the darkest place
O Blessed be the name of the Lord
He gives and he takes away
Give yourselves to him children
Let your hearts choose to stay!
My Children, I love you
Surround yourself in his Glory
He brings peace and hope,
A happy ending to this story
The Painting
Upon the canvas
Flows an array of color
I gaze with utter passion
Bloated with intricacies
Worked in a precise fashion
The piece is alive
His brush bleeds, as it glides
The colors breathe and dance
Sovereign Perfection
I cannot break my glance
The Work is unfinished
Hurry, fill in the hideous blank!
Do Not PANIC!! Stay Calm,
Your Canvas, but not your picture
The Brush is in the Creator’s Palm
The Source
You said I couldn’t do it
You said there was no way
It’s to bad you were wrong
Cause here I’m standing today
My emotions are truly naked
My fears, I wish them away
Anxiety is eating at my heart
But still, here I’m standing today
The Father’s love I have found
The Father’s word, final say
His Grace and Mercy gives
the strength to stand, everyday
The Decision
An appreciated understanding
I have more than I ever deserve
This day, I follow in the Light
Grace alone, I had not the nerve
Broke free from the haunter’s grip
These words are not for me to boast
They are just a testimony of Mercy
They’re for the one’s he loves Most
Evil’s laughter at your shoulder
For you, he was flogged and did bleed
To Enter His Fathers Heavenly kingdom
You must let fruit produce from this seed
You can walk prideful fearing darkness
Opening your soul to Satan’s heist
Or you can walk humbly in the bright
Giving your heart to your savior Christ.
The Cross is Core
As the World is sure to spin
I try to fight, stand still
Things don’t go my way
My sin weighs me down
I fall below the surface
By Mercy, I won’t drown
I move slow, often confused
My heart tested, your hand seen
I can’t lift the weight of my life
But I try, I try to be tough
We cannot hide from your eyes
We are weak, but you are strong
Strength in Grace, make us wise
Kneeling before the Cross
Why was I lavished in this gift?
Your word whispers as I read
Complicated dreams You bring!
I don’t deserve anything at all
Patiently and with love You give
Before the Cross, I cannot Fall!
The Wretched Beautiful Path
Children, take your fathers hand
Walk beside me in the light,
There is a lot to learn and understand
Away from the shadow’s fright
A wretched beautiful path to follow
Where the Lord will calm your fears
Accept His Love, do not live hollow
It took your father many years
of walking in the darkness, lost
and alone, filled with selfish loath
to see the Lord’s love and what it cost.
Now with Salvation, I walk in growth.
See, Gods Love is not given in preaching
Instead through our Savior’s life and death
And it is by the King of Kings’ teaching
we know God loves us in every breath.
For he sent to earth his only begotten Son
A man who was perfect in everyway.
The Savoir of Sins loved all, hated none
Spread the word of His Father everyday
Only to be brutally slain upon the Cross
and three days later, he rose to life again
Proving his death a perfect plan, not a loss
Jesus paid it all, so we can be delivered from sin
Walk with me in the light; it will lead us to Grace
I’ll guide you to HIS Mercy, teach you HIS Love
Until the day I meet The Father face to face.
Then stay in the Light, I will watch proudly from above
Salvation’s Plantation
By Whom were you planted to the field
Is it by Son of Man and his Good Seed?
Or Could it be the Enemies’ seed you Yield?
None-the-less, we grew on earth as brothers
Our Diversity left the Servants to ponder!
Field of Wheat and Weed, what will we do?
HE had the answer, our destination in yonder
And So on we grew together, until Harvest.
And then, the Angels came to down to Gather
Will you rest in the barn, or burn in a bundle?
Hear Him and Repent, His Blood you may Lather
Stand As Wheat, and Shine in His Kingdom!
Salvation’s Journey
Only Darkness laid ahead
My Spirit stood, not alive, but dead
But it was Destiny that heard
and fiercely danced to the beat of my heart
A loving, new path opened for me
Golden fingers laid in the horizon, I could see
Darkness was now choking on HIS word
Here, life did not end; it was a place to start
Only Blinding Light lies in my path
Darkness fled my destiny, fearing HIS wrath
My spirit now breathes, free as a bird
leaving in the dust, a distorted life that was so tart
HIS gift I accepted, Mercy and Grace
brings a Smile, a new emotion to my face
HE is my Shepherd, I follow in his herd
A new path my spirit walks and will never part
Our King
John baptized him
From Heaven Came a Voice
“this is my son, whom I love”
His Death was my Choice
“But I tell you: Love your enemies”
That you may be sons of the Father
Love for all is what he taught
I killed him! Who did he Bother?
By examples of birds
He taught us not to worry
“Each day has enough trouble”
His Death, a sad story
To a man with leprosy
"I am willing," he said. "Be clean!"
The man was cured instantly
I nailed him to the cross to be seen.
The Crowd thought the girl was dead
Asleep He Said she wasn’t dead
As the scoffed, she got up
And for me, this Man Bled
He taught by Parables
A field of Weeds and Wheat
Which Seed are you?
He Died, by deceit
Five Loaves and Two Fish
Over 5000 men were fed
With plenty left over
Yet, we let him hang till dead
He walked on the Surface of Water
"Take courage! It is
To Peter who walked out to him
His Death, His Father’s will, he obeyed
A Fig tree had no fruit
"May you never bear fruit again!"
The Tree withered
I killed this man with my sin
Our sin, the nails that hung him to the cross
By the Father’s Will, Jesus Dies
The Ultimate Sacrifice, saving us
Three days later when He Did Rise!
Nevaeh
I sit alone; I try to understand the pain
Why do I only get to hear your voice?
I don’t look at our situation with disdain
I understand, this was no one’s choice
Sometimes I cry, kneeling by your bed
and other times I smile at the memories
Like the funny little things you’ve said
or giggles on a swing in a summer’s breeze
Anyway, Daddy’s ready to dry the tears
A perfect plan, difficult to understand, maybe,
but The Lord has calmed daddy’s fears
I’m coming for you, I miss you baby
My Prayer, My Confession
I try so hard to do the right thing
My trials are a painful, high winds
Rocking my ship amongst heavy drifts
As rays of sun burst through the clouds
Your light is upon me through the rifts
I just want to walk away
This wasn’t the plan I had
My heart is stone, a dead weight
A wall, blocking the flood of love
Your Son took my place, my fate
I sit, whining and complaining
Frustrated in this stupid poem
Just words of my self pity at a loss
A registered thought occurs
Where is my joy, is it with the Cross?
O Father! Have mercy on me!
For I know I wasn’t the one forsaken
Yet, sinfully, I’m impatient to your will
Death on the Cross, Your love for us!!
My life is the craft of your skill
My Own Conviction
I lust for more
A Loving wife
Not to be poor
HE gave HIS life
I wash in Blood
My Life not deserved
I’m filthy as mud
Yet, eternity reserved
Forgetful, I tend to be
Future, I shouldn’t lust
My Savior bled for me
God’s love I shall trust
Love forever in my heart
As I construct my diction
I’ll let the Gospel start
to reveal my own conviction
Lynix: with him I am well pleased
The sky is big,
the world is new
Curiosity searches
Behind eyes so blue
Little tiny fingers
Big manly feet
Everlasting energy
Each heart beat
The world is yours
Walk in the light
Direction by Faith
Prepare to fight
I will be the Lead
Teach you his word
Learn His Love for
Every stone and bird
And As the Father’s
Voice came from above
“This is my son,
Whom I love”
Let the Battle Begin
Bleeding day’s and broken nights
Shattered dreams, Nightmare’s frights
I am but a man, led by selfish fear
Forgetful I am, of the love that’s near
When I was far, far away, he chose me
A free gift given, I don’t deserve thee
I have seen the mighty work of his hand
Yet I let, Fear rise up and take the stand
Oh Forgive me, my everlasting Lord
Armed with your shield and sword
I’ll stand, I will fight this fear of man
My faith is in you, you’ll unfold the plan
Intersection of Life and Direction
Where do we go from here, the lights are all green
I was just a boy, lost in a wide open field
Now my direction is clear, the light I’ve seen
Clear but still ambiguous, which paths do I yield
I have feelings I never thought I could have again
Love and Happiness, just to name a few
Life is good, but I am still not perfect, I still sin!!!!
Stay on the path of Repentance, His Mercy is true!
My selfish lusts do not always seem to align with the Plan
When do I make a move, and what steps do I take?
He knows the answer to this, even before he created man
So always seek Him for wisdom, Grace is not fake
A perfect plan, undying love, these thoughts hard to grip
Life’s twist and turns are perfect? This I’ve never understood.
It’s not about understanding; it’s about enjoying the trip
Put your faith into His direction, because friends, God is good!!!
I’m Just a Man
Oh my look at the glowing clock
Time does really manage to fly
Faster and Faster each tic-toc
There is so much to do before I die
Things I want to plan out in my life
But such a short time before death
Yet, my career, my kids, a wife?
Accomplishments before my last breathe
But whose accomplishments are these?
Father! Forgive me and my selfish lust
Did you not feed the birds, water the trees?
All this Time, it should be you I trust
I have no reason for my pity and fears
You know the next step, all planned out
You’re my love, through smiles and tears
Such Faithfulness Father, how could I doubt
Guide me Father, Give me Strength to learn
For I am on this side of Heaven, I’m Weak
It is your Love and plan I desperately yearn
Break my pride, make me humble and meek
O Father, I looked away from you in Hate
Yet you led me to the Cross, showed me Love
Salvation for me, I may now pass Heaven’s Gate
Spread my wings and fly, free like the dove
For what good is a wife, if not right before God?
This is wisdom you have brought to me by Grace
Unless it’s is pure and right before you, its fraud
Bring me to the Cross, for it’s my sin I must face
Father I cannot do this alone, unless you’re with me
Guiding me on every step, every leap and bound
I say again, you were there for every bird, every tree
For this is in the word, which is the Truth and it is sound
You have tested my Heart Father, and showed your hand
And for that I Thank you, you have kept me in the light
I don’t deserve this life or your Love, this I understand
I remind my self of the Main Thing day and night
You have compassion for me, You have taken the lead
You invented Love, Walked me down the aisle as your bride
You Overlooked my sin, Yet watched your son bleed
Blood I wash in, take me to the Cross where your son died
I bow down before your son, the perfect man, the almighty king
Bring me face to face with my sin, and show me your plan
Let me one day dance around your throne, rejoice and sing
Forgive me Father, Guide me Father, for I am just a man
(no title)
I was lavished in a light
But it did not shine bright
Illuminated not from humility
But Pride’s bulb, crippled my ability
To see the truth, Now in Despair
Because I thought Life wasn’t fair
My faith Shaken so weak
Now my future seemed so bleak
Pride cut me, let my heart bleed
But Hope from a fruitful seed
When he who washed me clean
Plucked me from a worldly scene
Truth delivered from Mercy and Grace
Now it’s
Pride’s hunger and my heart’s lust
Consumed me, but Who Can I trust
But you Jesus who through every trial
stood by my side, every aching mile
The hole in my heart has been filled
By your wounds, I have been healed.
I wonder why…
I’m falling asleep
Only to wake more tired
Another nightmare
Drowning despair
Crawl to my corner
Safe in Solitaire
Are we ever really alone?
His voice now drone
Soaked in self loathe
At the very pit of pride
Yeah, fear of man
Is it calamity’s plan?
Shadowed hours
Walk in clouds of gray
I do not see sunlight
By grace I still fight
O’ Lord must you be silent?
Father, have you left?
Do you hear my cry?
Painful Sorrow, I wonder why…
Hebrews 12
Have I built enough endurance?
The race’s path to
Do I carry my cross as I should?
Pain and Trials, I wonder who could?
Sin gives way to weary and a faint heart
For the set before him, he endured the cross
My resistance has not caused blood to be spilled
Though his blood that washes me, I am healed
When disciplined, do not loathe thyself
Or grow weary when rebuked
For if a father truly loves his son
Then the work of discipline must be done
For in this work, my endurance only builds
O Father, thank you for treating me like your Son
It often seemed painful, I often did gripe
Though it yields righteous fruit, so sweet, so ripe
I lift up my arms, I strengthen my weak knees
My walk with the Lord shall not be lame
Strive for peace; see that others join the race
So that all shall see the beauty of God’s grace
He Will…
Fear is the anchor in my stomach
Hope floats, but sin is not buoyant
All I want to do is just swim
Yet the anchor pulls me down
He will not let me drown
Idolatry is the death in my eyes
Dead to sin, live to righteousness
All I want to do is see
Grace brings forth Light
He will bring me sight
Pride is the stumble in my walk
My direction is crippled, not lost
All I want to do is find my way
He will forgive Pride, Idolatry, and fear!
Grace Delivered
Why am I broken?
Why does my heart ache?
Grace Delivered
My pride did break
Why do I endure trial
Where is your Good Hand?
Grace Delivered
Today, in Peace I stand
Why does it have to be?
Why can it not be my way?
Grace Delivered
Not tomorrow, focus on today
Why do I have to fight?
Why a shield and sword?
Grace Delivered
The Word, the voice of the Lord
Why do you have mercy on me?
Why am I not forsaken?
Grace Delivered
“It is Finished”, His life taken
Trial and God
Tiny droplets of apathy
Dripping from my heart
The walls are closing in
Fear is just the start
I ponder, wonder why?
He is There, He is Good
It's the Ground I walk on
By Grace alone I ever stood
Remember the sweet fruit
The Footsteps in the sand
Do not drown in despair
Look for His Hand
Truth
Buried in a sea of blankets
Lost in the depths of Dream
It’s the only way it’s true
Truth, an inconceivable truth
How can one love me so much
I hated him, Oh I hated him!
Yet he sought me, before him
He brought me to a place where
I would break free from pride
And cry out to him, Save me Father!
That moment the initiation of my soul.
No dream, but a pinching reality
Truth, The Almighty King walked
and Died on the face of this Earth
HE paid the ultimate price for Me
That payment washes my sin in blood
His Blood, perfect and Pure, God as Man
This is the roots of Truth and Love
Grow from those roots, tall like a sunflower
Stretch out in the Bright Warm Rays and
Photosynthesize into sanctification
Breathe the Truth, grow in it, and let it free.
Worldly Ways
High Winds
Naked TreesRazor tounges
Sinful Ease
Dead walking
No Humility
Hungry Lust
Life a futility
Dark Earth
Could it be
Worldly ways
Hypocrisy!

Worth the Wait
To whose rhythm and beat,
does my heart passionately dance?
It has been proven, it is not mine
from trials of dreams and romance
Things didn’t go according to plan
Or at least, how I would have thought
My eyes focused on another image
I the student, have been taught
My heart has drafted it’s plan
The Lord, The Architect of all
Submit your work to Him
Lift your heart, he’ll hear your call!
Befriend Humility and Wisdom
Let the Lord establish your route
Receive the Gift of patience
This season, will yield its fruit
Do not lack trust, or be anxious
For the Lord has sealed my fate
So what do I do from this point?
Upon the everlasting Lord, I will wait!!
Dependent on Divine Love
My words, an escape is this my last chance?
For through broken Glass, I see
fear and anxiety, my life at first glance
a twisted calamity, shadows of pride
O’ Father, I do not know your design
But I know there is a Tree of Grace,
The foot of it, my fears resign
I know better than to complain
How much more, what will break me
I see more storm clouds in the horizon,
Father, I wish you would just take me
I look forward to an eternity
Join with Christ, dance and rejoice
O’ Lord, whom should I fear?
For you saved me, not my choice
But it is not time for me to go
You Father, have a predestined plan
I have a calling, to protect my daughter
And to lead my son to become a man
Forgive me for more iniquities Father!
Shepard me Lord when trials rain
Lift my cup, asking for more and more
Grace! Until I am free from all worldly pain!
A Poem’s Draft.
The skull empties its thoughts,
My heart transposes into word,
Let my pen dance and bleed,
Symbolic emotion is delivered.
A Romance, dream, reality collage,
Words float, come drifting ashore,
I paint them on blank sheets paper,
working until my brain is sore.
I don’t paint with words alone,
weave together style and structure
Diligently squeeze in deep emotion,
now let the words flow, tightly cluster
Enthusiasm no doubt a writer’s high!
An Inspirational release of my insanity.
Every day, a new expression arrives.
My favorites are becoming vanity!
the only time I ever feel safe at home,
is when sitting with an empty notebook
music blaring, drafting a new poem.
An old man and his spoon
An old man and his spoon
Sat there from 7 to Noon
5 long hours he had waited
He sat and then contemplated
Pacing patiently back and forth
Walking south, then to the North
he carried the spoon in his hand
Reasoning we would’nt understand
For Five hours he had to think
Pacing by the freshly emptied sink
Near by the dishwasher growling mean
A bowl for his spoon was becoming clean
A Heavy Burden
I picked up my life with my bare hands
It was awkward and heavy to hold
Brittle, it crumbled between my fingers
And was swept off into the wind
Leaving not a grain of dust to mend
I crawled back under my hard shell
Paint a smile for the world to see
Condemnation, a heavy wait to carry
But, HE didn’t let me pack this freight
In His mighty love, he lifted the weight
Do not stress what happens in the steps
Not the Journey, but the Destination we Seek!
His Word is written, the answers are there
Books such as John, Genesis, James and Psalms
Rest assured, life rests comfortably in His Palms.
A Heartship
I think I am falling, falling fast
Swept away by a strong current
My heart is still very fragile
The Timing could not be worse
Yet the rapids carry me away
Quickly pulling me downstream
I think I am falling, falling fast
To Various rocks I reach out
Try to cling and hold on for life
Slippery to the surface, no grip
I think I am falling, falling fast
Being pushed under by white caps
Panic sets in with realization
I cannot swim through this alone
The waters calm, the current breaks
HE appears before me, and with grace
Lifts me above the surface and speaks
“Yes my son you cannot survive this
alone, but you tread in my waters now,
and you will NEVER be alone”

My Reflection
When I stare intently at myself
A reflection not always meek
Righteousness of God I’ve sought
Slow to anger, slow to speak
I see a spirit ready to be taught
O` Father! Convicting is your mirror
Rapid anger and a sharp tongue
Weapons of a deceitful heart
But my reflection is still young
And your Mercy, a daily start
My Face, staring back at me
Adjustments surely to be made
Husband and father I yearn to re-flect
A man, who remembers, does not fade
One who can lead and pro-tect
O` Father, help adjust my reflection
Thank you for I am not the man I was
But I’m not the man I yearn to be
Father I pray to be a man that does!
A reflection of His death on the tree

Daffodilius
*With apologies to William Wordsworth (Daffodils)
I floated happily as a bee
That dances on high o’er fields and flowers
When all at once I saw the tree
A man, whom perfect even his last hours
Upon the Cross, exhaled last breath
Freeing the Sinners in his Death
Repentance for what I have done
His binding Love at
That stretched over his son
The Lord has adopted me
As this never was my choice
For all of eternity I’ll rejoice
This blood washed away my sin
Full Atonement, my debt was paid
His Grace upon all men
His Death – His Choice – He obeyed
My sin killed him, twas not fair
But it was His love that kept him there
So on this dark and gloomy night
When trials and inequities hover
I gaze up to the Lord’s holy Light
not an inch his blood does not cover
When my name he did call
Daily reminder, Jesus paid it all
