If I Lived in My Feelings



If I lived in my feelings
I wouldn’t be alive at all
I’d be on ‘da ground
With no room to even fall
I’d be six feet under
With no ability to even wonder
If there was any hope
For me to get back up and cope

If I lived in my feelings
I’d have no dealings
With a reason to live
Or a chance to even give
A single part of myself to this world
I’d be just another girl
Who called it quits
Before she took her last hit
Of oxygen through her lungs
And I know I ain’t ‘dat one
So, I refuse to live in my feelings
I’d rather live in my healings
Healing from the past
Knowing ‘dat pain doesn’t last
Always
No matter what my feelings say
Healing from the wounds
Inflicted way too soon
For me to recognize
‘Dat they came from lies
But now I’m wise
Enough to know
Some seeds never grow
To full maturity
And I can still regain my purity
As long as I live in my healings
Instead of my feelings!

Cause If I lived in my feelings
I wouldn’t be alive at all
I’d be on ‘da ground
With no room to even fall
I’d be six feet under
With no ability to even wonder
If there was any hope
For me to get back up and cope

I Fell Still



I fell still
Against my own will
As I leaned against the window sill
Watching the pain
Fall like rain
I couldn't cease with my own brain
Knowing I was to blame
For my uncomfortable view
Cause I had broken through
My own self protective lock
By rewinding the clock
And forgetting to block
The entrance of my own heart
Now all things were falling apart
And there was no way to push restart
I had already violated the guard
And I was no longer barred
From the locked up secrets
They were published on the leaflets
Of my tears
I had held back for years
Along with pent up fears
Cause I couldn't bare
The thought of going there
Where no man had ever gone before
But I had opened the door
Crossing the threshold
Allowing the truth to unfold
That I wasn't really as bold
As I pretended to be
I wasn't even bold enough to see
The real me
Hiding behind the mask
Of the meaningless tasks
Of my life
Keeping the pain out of sight
Cause such brutal honesty just wasn't right
So, I put up a good fight
To keep everything black and white
Without any shades of gray
Come what may
The secret pain must stay
Hidden
Never bidden
To come out and play
Till that fateful day
I fell still
Against my own will
As I leaned against the window sill
Watching the pain
Fall like rain
I couldn't cease with my own brain.

Don't Worry 'Bout a Thang!


                             Image Copyrighted by Pixabay.com

Don't worry 'bout a thang.
Let it rain.
Let 'da thunder BOOM
And 'da lightning fill 'da room,
But STILL don't worry 'bout a thang.
Cause ‘da One Who made
‘Da rain, thunder and lightning
Ain’t frightening
He ain’t worried
And His vision ain’t blurried
In ‘da least
So, receive His peace
And be at ease.
He sees your every hit and miss
And STILL can’t resist
Smiling and singing over you
It’s not too late
To arrive at your appointed destination
You even have time for vacation
Cause Your Creator’s got you
He never forgot you
He just patiently waited
For you to awaken
So, don’t be mistaken
You ain’t gotta
Worry ‘bout a thang!

Awesome God



Our God is an awesome God!
He spoke the worlds into existence
There’s no resistance
That can stand against His authority
He doesn’t need agreement from the majority
He demonstrated the power of ONE
When He sent His Son
Into the Earth
Through a miraculous birth
And demonstrated His Love
When He watched from above
His only Son being crucified
His only Son who died
Just so that you and I could abide
In Him
Cause Love wins
Every time
And our every breath is a sign
Of His awesomeness displayed
When He made ‘da grave
His bed
And was raised from ‘da dead
His agony for our bliss
He’s ‘da Boss in this
And every other place
Dat’s why I’m so amazed
As I gaze into His face
And declare
Join me if you dare!
Our God is an awesome God!

I Will Not Bow



Image Copyrighted by Pixabay.com

You don’t know the cost of the oil in my alabaster box. 
I’m not about to waste a single drop.
I will not bow to your expectations.
I will not bow to your manipulations.
I will not bow to the idol that you tried to make me.
I will no longer “fake me”
Cause it’s taken a lifetime to awake me.
And I’m not about to forsake me.

The me that I have just begun to find
The me that is wholly mine
To give away as a LIVING sacrifice
Only I know the true price
I’ve had to pay
Along the way
So, come what may
I will not bow to another
Not one single “other”
Cause all else are just idols
And I’m done with performance recitals
Though life is a stage
There’s another war to wage
Behind the scenes
One for which I give my entire being
Just to live fully aware of my oneness
And the doneness
Of my intimacy with my Lord
So, I throw all else but Him overboard
And I draw my Sword,
The Apple of My Eye
For which I don’t even have to try
To engage with by struggle
I can’t even be subtle
Cause I’m so in love with Him
I can’t even begin
To describe
I just continue to abide
And release all the lies
As I cling to my Liberating Truth
Bearing the fruit
Of intimacy
To the measure of infinity.

You don’t know the cost of the oil in my alabaster box. 
I’m not about to waste a single drop.
I will not bow to your expectations.
I will not bow to your manipulations.
I will not bow to the idol that you tried to make me.
I will no longer “fake me”.
Cause it’s taken a lifetime to awake me.
And I’m not about to forsake me.
I WILL NOT BOW.
NOT NOW.
NOR EVER.

I Just Wanna Be Real - Spoken Word




I'm  not looking for human appeal
I just wanna be real
I'm not looking for your seal
Of approval
I just want the removal
Of unnecessary masks
And all inhumane tasks
Just one thing I ask
I just wanna be real
I want to really FEEL
My humanity
Even if it is insanity
I'm done with pretense and vanity
If you're not cool with this
I won't take your dis
Personally
Or respond cursingally
I still love you
And want you to be real too
I just want you to do you
Without all the pretense
And defense
Come! Let's make amends!
Let's be real together
And walk through the stormy weather
I know it's messy
But this is life's greatest blessing
To be REAL
And to FEEL
Our humanity
Even all it's insanity
Together
Without the need to sever
Covenants of promise
Even when we're like doubting Thomas
Let's not turn away
By the words we say
But come feel my wounds
I'll make room
For you
And I'll feel your wounds too
Cause I'm not looking for human appeal
I just wanna be real.

Religious or Righteous? - Spoken Word



You call yourself the righteous
But you're forever in a state of crisis
You put bandaids on bullet wounds
And you assume
You're the healer
The healing balm dealer
When in truth you're a reality stealer
And the deceptive wheeler
Of false security deals
Yet, you possess tremendous appeal
To the masses
In all the social classes
You force fear based decisions
And claim God's vision
To be your own
As you stone
The wounded souls
Filling the bowls
Of wrath
Through your "righteous" attack
That's just wack!
But you get away with it
I must admit
You had me for a minute
Cause you know just how to spin it
But you'll never win it
As long as Truth endures
And continually cures
The disillusioned
Through Spirit infusion
Father, forgive them!
And give them
Another chance
To take a glance
In the mirror of your Love
And SEE from eyes above
What they've failed to see
In their wretched carnality.
Forgive them! They know not what they do!
They know not YOU!
For You are LOVE!
And even they are sent from above
And not beneath
But their perception is weak
And they know not how to seek
True justice!
For we MUST THIS
Seek
To reach the mountain peak
Where You dwell
And from which we all fell
Will I in anger exclude them
Or will I in Love include them?
Christ in me the hope of glory
Challenges the story
Of revenge
Cause hostility must end!
I declare peace to you
I declare release to you!
You can be set free
And you can be
Filled with tranquility
I release the sound of reason
And I declare a new season
A season of reconciliation
Throughout every nation
Now is the time
Peace on Earth we shall find.
Be made righteous
And delivered from your state of crisis
In Jesus' name
Behold, YOUR new name
May you never perceive the same
In Jesus' name!

Limitless You - Spoken Word



The restraints are unraveling
The restraints meant to control
The expression of your redeemed soul
They are nothing but limits
Maintained by gimmicks
When in truth nothing is impossible 
And you are unstoppable 
When you are released
From the need to please
And all restraints are seized
By an all powerful Source
Who determines your true course
Your course may be invisible 
But it is divisible 
Only by ONE
Cause that's the sum of all parts
By which you've been marked 
From the very start
No more hiding 
Or confiding
In non-absolutes
It's time to get to the root
Of the true you
Back to the Garden
Where it all started 
Put away old wine skin
The leaves you used to cover your sin
No need to hide your nakedness
Or deny your awakedness 
Put on the New Man
And stand
Whole in Christ 
Rid your eyes of the scales
Of all religious tales
Myths and legends
Are no substitute for greater dimensions 
Of Truth 
Only described in books
But demonstrated through Life 
Born out of supernatural sight
And displays of supernatural Light
Descriptions 
Are poor depictions 
Of experience 
That always include beautiful variance
So, let the restraints unravel
It's time to travel
Through Life 
Displaying Light 
What an awesome sight
And wonder 
When all limits are put asunder!
The restraints are unraveling 
And I SEE you traveling
Just as you were always meant to do
Behold! The true limitless you!

Awakening - Spoken Word


When you awaken

Do not hasten

To speak

Just seek

To unfold

Out of the mold

To which you were sold

As a slave

And be remade

By your Re Creator

Be no anticipator

Just release

And receive

According to plan

You're becoming a new man

Of which no on will be a fan

So, just stand

And await

The final state

Of your awakening

For there's no mistakening

You have no control

Of the awakening of your own soul

Shabbat Shalom

Shabbat Shalom

Resting in Abba's embrace
We gaze face to face
To Shabbat
Or not
Is not the question
But to Shalom is the lesson
And "Shabbat Shalom"
My confession
Oh, what a Blessin'
To rest in His arms
And make His heart
My home
"Shabbat Shalom!"

Day of My Liberty

Day of My Liberty

This is the day of my liberty
For I hear the Spirit whispering
And my heart is just glistening
With the sweet everythings
He speaks and sings
To me
Yes, just to me
He lets me know Abba's will
He quickens me to be still
He knows I'm overwhelmed
So, He takes the helm
He places the pen in my hand
And enables me to understand
His branding on my own heart
"All things are NOT falling apart
Cause Abba knew even THIS
From the very start"
He interprets this Heavenly tongue
That even angels have never sung
"Enter My Holy bliss
For you shall NOT miss
The Way laid out for you
If only you knew
The tears that were wept
The height and depth
Of Abba's Love released
For your striving to cease"
It is then that I know
I really have no foe
Because Yah is with me
And He has come to SHIFT me
Into an uncharted course
He alone is my SOURCE
There's a blueprint on my heart
Branded from the start
When Yah breathed into me
And now He is winnowing
With another breath
The chaff has been SWEPT
Far, far away
Behold, it's a new day
This is the day of my liberty
For I hear the Spirit whispering
And my heart is just glistening
With the sweet everythings
He speaks and sings
To me
Yes, just to me.

I Won't Relent

I Won’t Relent

I won't relent
Till every crooked place
Is made straight
I will repent
Till I SEE His face
At the city gate.
I won't relent
Till every dark place
Is made light
I will repent
Till His mighty grace
Gives me perfect sight.
I won't relent
Till every dead place
Is resurrected to life
I will repent
Till every empty space
Is filled to the highest height.
I won't relent.
No, I won't relent.
For this purpose
I have been SENT.
I won't relent.
No, I won't relent.

Beloved: A Letter from Yeshua, The Lover of Your Soul


BELOVED,
          Have you been wounded by the one I sent to heal you? Know that I fully feel you! Have you bore the afflictions of the cross I called you to carry? Know that I too had to tarry. Yes, I bore them too just for you. Let not your wounds define you. Let not the scars remind you of the pain or unjust attack against your weakened frame. Rather, see the scars and know that YOU will never do the same. You will lift up those cowering in shame. You will relieve them of their pain. You will shower them with kindness, and BECOME a true shepherd... one of the finest. For, even THIS will not BREAK you. Rather, it will MAKE you. Every Word I spoke is true. If only you knew the depths of My presence with you. I heard your cry, "Oh Lord! Don't let me miss You!" If only you knew! How pleased I was to see your heart remain TRUE! You turned not to the left nor the right. You pleaded for Me to give you Light and supernatural sight. Why then did I shield you from SEEING? It was to shield you from BEING what I kept you from SEEING! Know now that I AM FREEING you and only desire for you to keep BEING YOU! I made you this way. I know the way that you take. And I am pleased with you for goodness sake! Lift up your eyes! Behold! I AM your PRIZE! I AM Yeshua, the Scribe of your Life... Behold I take YOU as my beloved wife! I AM the Living Word, and YOU are my letter! How could your life be any better? Behold! I break every fetter and rewrite your soul, so that you will KNOW that I AM your beloved and you are mine. So, I scribe this love letter as an eternal sign upon your heart. Behold! You are MARKED by My seal, and on THIS DAY you are HEALED.

~ Lover of Your Soul
