From Old To New

From Old To New

There is a point in battle,

When you feel you’re falling short,

As you wither beneath the cracks,

Your heart begins to mourn.

I can’t put hope in myself,

Or anyone I’m known to love,

Only the father can save me,

Showing his glory from above.

I can’t let the evil take me,

As I am battling with my heart,

Knowing what I have is empty,

Being broken from the start.

I want my savior to mold,

And put me back in place,

I need his precious hands to guide me,

To the place of his flowing grace.

I need to understand his greatness,

As I was broken from the start,

Oh God help me see your heart,

And your love that is set apart.

I want to flow down the river of life,

Be captured by the holiness of you,

Broken from my wickedness,

And only take in what is true.

Break me of my pride,

Peel the callous on my heart,

Put me where you want me,

Make me your piece of art.

I want to be pliable towards your kingdom,

Live by the truths of your word,

Understand the compassion of your kindness,

Let your glorious name be heard.

You were pierced for my wrong doings,

And crushed for my lies,

I give you my all for eternity,

As you wipe the tears from my eyes.

I am bring you praise from now on,

As you changed my life to new,

Stripping my old for forever,

Placing me inline with you.

So many people let life pull at them and they have no where to turn, After turning towards selfish things we quickly find that we are right back at the start and have gained nothing.

We feel hopeless, numb, insecure, unloved, and broken from emptiness. One of my favorite verses that I stumbled on this past week is Jeremiah 29:12-13

“Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”

This verse truly inspired me to realize I don't need to face life alone anymore. I have this almighty God who is far greater, far stronger, and forever loving to me. Yet all I do is try to face life alone. God wouldn't put me through the things I face unless he knew I wasn't capable of over coming them, of course not by my own, But with His strength so I may be stronger and closer to him because of my weaknesses. In the end that brings glory to him, and brings happiness to me, isn’t our ultimate goal in life to feel fulfillment, and to feel accomplished. Yet it seems everything in life we face we eventually fail at in one way or another. He is the only place I have found Contentment and satisfaction; knowing he will accept me just as I am with open arms. That’s all we can ask for is for someone to love us, someone to hold us, and to be everything we need, when we feel like we are broken and lost.

Can we call on Christ, and pray, knowing that he will listen to us? If we truly seek him and desire what he has we will find him, and that is when we will be changed forever.

Fearless

Fearless

As the tide rushes in on me,

I’m captivated in all my fears,

Seeing if there is any glimpse of hope,

As I begin to drown in my tears.

I know I must face the fact,

That my life needs to be true,

As I am making fear afraid of me,

I must keep it away from you.

I want to be the man I was,

And push these fears away,

Staying true to his word,

Never forgetting that I will always stay.

All brokenness surrounds me,

And leaves me where I am,

As the one place I can’t hide,

It is always deep down within.

The hearts of sorrow are strong,

As they lead to redemption,

For love was a fight that was won,

As fears lead to its intention.

So as we continue on towards pain,

To push on to something true,

As a man of integrity is gained,

A fearless heart is brought to new

.

Giving All Of Me

Giving All Of Me

I have never seen His end,

Of the love that’s always given,

Holding me tight as one,

Till He lets me see I’m forgiven.

I not held down by me,

I’m not broken by my dreams,

As I see how I live my life,

I receive You as I give you all of me.

Your the brick of my foundation,

The resonation of my voice,

I let myself die to receive You,

And let our love constantly rejoice.

I’m holding back my tears,

As You let my people go,

Knowing their without pain,

Not a better place for them to go.

So take all that I am,

Every breath I breathe,

Till I’m captivated in Your heart,

Praising You, pouring all of me.

I want to seek who You are,

Feeling Your hands of freedom,

Bruised and crushed for my soul,

Knowing You is all I ever needed.

Never broken by the lies,

Focused on the cross I see,

I’m never loosing sight of You,

As You bled it all out for me.

Isaiah 41:13

For I am the LORD your God

who takes hold of your right hand

and says to you, Do not fear;

I will help you.

Psalm 37:24

though he may stumble, he will not fall,

for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

Psalm 23

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,

he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he refreshes my soul.

He guides me along the right paths

for his name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk

through the darkest valley,

I will fear no evil,

for you are with me;

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD

forever.

New Man

New Man

The memories are gone,

You pulled straight from the lace of my heart,

Throwing all that was everything,

Till ones love is really gone.

Waiting as I crash,

Our falling love, my broken heart,

Ceasing to my death,

No love gained, only forever lost.

Pushing through my pains,

Seeing what I can withstand,

Not one can stop me,

As I begin to find who I am.

I’m finding my grip on life,

Knowing I can withstand,

As without God I’m nothing,

But without you I’m a new man.

Ephesians 4:23-24

23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Lamentations 3:22-23

22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,

for his compassions never fail.

23 They are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.

Restless Love

Love breaks down pride,
To the point of no return,
Outstanding, everlasting,
And forever endures.

You pull me to the side,
Next to the Cliff we stand,
My stolen heart was never rescued,
You still holding on to it in your hand

My everything in faith,
Trusting you will bring me close to you,
I'm not wanting to step out to the edge,
To find the one love that is true.

The heart of love is fear,
To step out to the edge,
Afraid one will fall for love,
Slowly ceasing in his death.

We have hope in the hopeless,
That they will walk out above,
Trusting the Lord that saved them,
Giving strength in restless love.

Here are some verses that have lead me to writing this poem, along with the help of my friend Josh Compston.

John 15:10
If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.

Hebrews 10:23-25
23Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Everlasting Hope

Can the heart I once loved,
Push me into the tide,
Till I lose sense of hope,
Calling out in a desperate cry.

Your calling out my name,
I'm drowning in your eyes,
Save me from My broken love,
Forgetting the heart and its lies.

I'm forgetting my love for you,
For even how hard it seems,
Time we fell close together,
Now so far, drifting out at sea.

Can old love be this far,
And still feel the pain,
Her cold heart still beating,
In my days while I'm lame.

What hurts the most,
Is Pulling far from my love,
Knowing its not time to move,
Till the letter comes from above.

Its hard to forget the past,
And find the one that is true,
Fighting the waves the pulled me out,
Getting a chance to be renewed.

I'm finally on solid ground,
Standing away from my past,
No looking back for love,
It was God's hope that will forever last.

This verse inspired me along with other things on my mind, hope you like it:

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4.Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6.Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Unfailing Love

Can love be for gotten,
In the depth of our soul,
Can memories be cherished,
Because my heart does not grow old.

I've seen the days,
Where love was such a fight,
For everyone's freedom,
For one mans life.

Can love be a walk,
Where day by day its needed,
Until the time flies,
We lose sense to leave it.

My days are numbered,
And are yet to be unknown,
But i still live out love,
And give thanks to the one i owe.

When my name shall be called,
I will come before you throne,
lay all my life in your glory,
And will forever sing a new song

Can the ocean wipe our footprints,
From the place we fell behind,
Giving strength to the restless,
Unfailing love never dies.


these are the verses that have inspired me, hope you get something out of them.

Isaiah 54:10
Though the mountains be shaken
and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
nor my covenant of peace be removed,"
says the LORD, who has compassion on you.


Psalm 143:8
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.
