I personally believe that the most important part of a song is in the weight and depth of its lyrics.

Nothing about a song gets to me more!

That's what I enjoy the most about singing. Sometimes in the place of fellowship(be it personal or corporate), there are many emotions going through my heart that I find music to be a great channel of expressing... through not just the melody but more importantly through great lyrics, that carry realities of faith, blended in the synchrony and harmony of melodies...

It's just beautiful 😍

And I'm glad I finally have a place to share or breathe out the motions of my heart in song lyrics 😌

Thoughts

It seemed okay the day before

It looked like all was becoming well

Like the mind at last found peace

Like the heart at last settled in

Like the thoughts at last are now pure

But today bears different tidings

Not as though all is no longer well

Or as though chaos is everywhere

But as of a shift in tide

A wavering in course

From the peace of yesterday

To a manner of unrest of today

From the hearts settlement of before

To a barrage of questions and concerns

Questions that bring with it impurities

Impurities that when exposed

Make a man feel he was never pure

Like yesterday's joy was nothing but an abstract

Like the peace was never real...

Like he had been tricked into believing

He was whole

Or was he not?

It is but a question of time

A question of completing

A question of finishing

A question of becoming

For when a man continues

Journeying on with faith

His wholeness will be complete

And the cycle of yesterdays and todays

Will be finished.

Because then, the new man will appear

And the real man who is the same

Yesterday, Today, and forever

Will be fully seen.

Becoming Spirit

Timidity is not humility
Inability to confidently roar by the spirit
Is not a meekness of the spirit
Mediocrity that stems from laxity
Is not the mark of poverty in the spirit.
And to be barren of the understanding of my world
Is not a show of spiritual maturity.

I am not more humble when I refuse responsibility
I do not become more like Jesus
When I refuse His apprehension
It is laziness to wish it is not I who will do it
To desire to be freed of my labor
Is to seek a freedom unto captivity
My ability to hide in the face of duty that shows my brightness
Is not the mark of lowliness
It is only an indication
Of my lack of faith in the Spirit of holiness
Who is able to keep me meek and lowly
Even in the face of brightness and seeming glory
...

We can't stake our life on the Promise of eternal life and not be serious with God. Either we don't understand what we're saying, or we've been bewitched. Ahhh, please we shouldn't play with our life if we're not ready to be committed.

The Promise isn't automatically received by being Born Again. Being born again doesn't give it to us; it only gives us entrance to begin the journey. We have to journey to the end to receive it. But it is sure that if we follow God, we will have it. If it were received by being Born Again, the Scriptures wouldn't tell us to make our calling and election sure:
"Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make our calling and election sure: for if we do these things, we shall never fall:"
— 2 Peter 1:10 (KJV)

The journey of salvation requires us to walk diligently. We can't stop being diligent. We can't stop pressing. We can't grow weary of the journey. It won't be easy, but we can have the Promise.

"And we desire that every one of us do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That we be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises."
— Hebrews 6:11-12

Vibrations of the Heart

Living on earth; a constant warfare...

Swords...
A dagger cutting deep but precisely,
Shards of glass wedged between delicate flesh
Fiery darts with their many sharp and pointed edges pinching painfully at the heart
A thick cloud of gloom covering the mind fueled by the pain in the heart...

It's a constant warfare of thoughts with the pain felt in the heart...
Just when you think... "It's a great day... I finally have some respite" then voila!... There comes another one, exploring a new piece of flesh that has not been touched before...

Of a truth, there's no place of rest upon the Earth for a sojourner
I must connect to a higher economy to find rest...
A warfare constantly to keep my heart
To really keep the love of God burning in it 🔥

Suffer it to be so I must cos you say your grace is sufficient for me...

So I cling to every word you say
Every word you speak
Every breath from your lips
Every saying
Every commandment
Every instruction
Every wise counsel

I take up the shield of Faith 🛡️ and I guard my heart diligently and jealously ⚔️

So help me God 🥹🙏
