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.

Lover of My Soul

Lover of My Soul

Lover of my soul,
Your Spirit's in my body
Your breath is in my lungs
Your beat is in my heart.
That's why I can't live without You
No, I can't live without You
Lord, You're so amazing
You're so amazing to me.

Lover of My Soul,

No one really knows

How far You had to go

When You reached down low

And poured Your Love

Into the depths of my soul.

When I look into your eyes,

I realize, the surprise of Your love

Has no disguise.

When I look into Your eyes,

I realize, You’re the Lover of My Soul,

And You alone make me whole.

 

Lover of My Soul
Your Love was no illusion

It was I, who was refusin’

Cause Truth was an intrusion

And my life, a delusion.

Till I looked into Your eyes

And realized,

I would not be denied

No matter how many times I failed and tried.

In You I could confide.

You're the Lover of My Soul.

No one really knows

How far You had to go

When You reached down low

And poured Your love

Into the depths of my soul.

CHORUS

Lover of my soul,
Your Spirit's in my body
Your breath is in my lungs
Your beat is in my heart.
That's why I can't live without You
No, I can't live without You
Lord, You're so amazing
You're so amazing to me.
Lover of my soul,
No one really knows

How far You had to go

When You reached down low

And poured Your Love

Into the depths of my soul.

When I look into your eyes,

I realize, the surprise of Your love

Has no disguise.

When I look into Your eyes,

I realize, You’re the Lover of My Soul,

And You alone make me whole.

Jesus, You’re the Lover of My Soul!

First Love

First Love

 

As I walk down the street

I hear the Spirit speak

“Look at all the hungry faces

With hearts full of empty spaces

If only they knew

The Gospel Truth.”

 

The Spirit spoke again in church

“Go ahead and search.

Do you see the empty glances

As the Pastor speaks of second chances?

If only they could remember

A time when their hearts were tender.”

 

“Remember the hunger in your soul

When My grace, you first came to know?

Remember the time you spent with Me

When I first set you free?

How you fasted, prayed,

And in My presence stayed?”

 

“Every time My presence was outpoured

You thirsted for more and more.

You remained on bended knee

Never satisfied with part of Me.

You cried out day and night

Until you saw My glory Light.”

 

 

“I often lament and wonder

Where went My people’s hunger?

Where went the thirst in their souls

To seek My face, and be made whole?

Oh, that their eyes would be opened

To the fellowship that has been broken.”

 

“Return to Me,

Is My desperate plea.

Set your hearts above,

Come back to Your first Love

Cast all doubt asunder,

And let Me fill Your thirst and hunger.”

All Things New

All Things New

I hear the sound of the shofar!

Yeshua’s coming is not far!

The Great I AM declares,

“Be aware!

There is nothing new under the sun

What is has already been

And shall be again.

There will always be a people

Who are sold out for Me,

A people who adore Me

And a people who choose to ignore Me

Until they can’t help, but see Me

And bend their knee,

Acknowledging My sovereignty.”

For only under the reign of God’s Eternal Son

Shall the final victory over darkness be won,

Cause God’s Son makes all things new

And God’s Holy Covenant is Eternally True.

The Great I AM declares,

“Be aware!

Light and dark

Will be a part

Of this life until time ceases

And eternity releases

My final judgment on the Earth

Giving birth

To a new Heaven and Earth.

The question remains

The same

As Adam pondered in the Garden of Eden:

'To be God’s son or a rebellious heathen?'

Now that is the question

With which every soul keeps wrestling

'To be or not to be?'

That is a question for those who cannot see

That they already be.

Yet, whether bound or free

Still every soul must bow their knee

To My sovereignty.

I AM calling all to remember

And to surrender.

Let Me be the wind beneath your wings;

Let Me be the song that you sing.

For they that wait

Not upon some mysterious fate,

But they that wait

Upon Me

Shall see

And bow their knee

While there is yet grace

To see My face

Bestow undeserved favor

And the ability to call Me both Lord and Savior.

My call yet goes forth

East, West, South and North

Do you hear the sound of the Shofar,

Distinctively revealing that My coming is not far,

But near indeed?

For I will pluck up every weed,

And evidence of the enemy’s seed.

I will gather the wheat unto harvest

And declare the fruit of My seed blessed.

I will separate the chaff from the wheat,

And the goats from the sheep.

The question remains,

Will you be among those ashamed

Or those eternally changed?”

I hear the sound of the shofar!

Yeshua’s coming is not far!

The Great I AM declares,

“Be aware!

There is nothing new under the sun

What is has already been

And shall be again.

There will always be a people

Who are sold out for Me,

A people who adore Me

And a people who choose to ignore Me

Until they can’t help, but see Me

And bend their knee,

Acknowledging My sovereignty.”

For only under the reign of God’s Eternal Son

Shall the final victory over darkness be won,

Cause God’s Son makes all things new

And God’s Holy Covenant is Eternally True.

Militant Soldier - Spoken Word

Militant Soldier

Written by Christine Lombard ("C. Love")

Dedicated to My Mother, Prophetess Vera E. Paul

CHORUS

I’m a militant soldier, a militant soldier

Listen up cuz I done did told ya’

I’m a militant soldier, a militant soldier

Listen up cuz I done did told ya’

I’m a militant soldier.

I’m takin’ authority

And givin’ God all the glory (3Xs).

I took a warrior’s pact

To stand in the gap

And counter the devil’s attack

So, he betta’ step back.

I’m a militant soldier, a militant soldier

Listen up cuz I done did told ya’

I’m a militant soldier, a militant soldier

Listen up cuz I done did told ya’

I’m a militant soldier.

I’m takin’ authority

And givin’ God all the glory (3Xs).

VERSE

In the days of my youth

I strayed from the Truth

The devil had my mind

I was walkin’ dead and blind.

Many years passed by

I preferred to die

Than continue to lie

In the devil’s pit

I had no power to resist.

I was livin’ a lie,

But Jesus still heard my cry.

God sent a valiant soldier

Cuz I done did told ya

I was powerless to fight,

Lost in the darkness of night

I was in the devil’s grasp

My deliverance was no simple task

He held on tight

With all his might

Till little by little, step by step

The devil’s challenge was met

Finally, the chains were broken

This spoken word is just a token

Of my attitude

Of immeasurable gratitude

For the valiant soldier

Whom I done did told ya

Fought the good fight

To set my life right

Now it’s my turn

To let my heart burn

As I carry my sword and shield

On the battle field

As I fight the good fight

To set others’ lives right.

Now I’m God’s answer to others’ cries.

So, for freedom I must live and not die

CHORUS

I’m a militant soldier, a militant soldier

Listen up cuz I done did told ya’

I’m a militant soldier, a militant soldier

Listen up cuz I done did told ya’

I’m a militant soldier.

I’m takin’ authority

And givin’ God all the glory (3Xs).

I took a warrior’s pact

To stand in the gap

And counter the devil’s attack

So, he betta’ step back.

I’m a militant soldier, a militant soldier

Listen up cuz I done did told ya’

I’m a militant soldier, a militant soldier

Listen up cuz I done did told ya’

I’m a militant soldier.

I’m takin’ authority

And givin’ God all the glory (3Xs).
