"At any innocent tea-table we may easily hear a man say, “Life is not worth living.” We regard it as we regard the statement that it is a fine day; nobody thinks that it can possibly have any serious effect on the man or on the world. And yet if that utterance were really believed, the world would stand on its head. Murderers would be given medals for saving men from life; firemen would be denounced for keeping men from death; poisons would be used as medicines; doctors would be called in when people were well; the Royal Humane Society would be rooted out like a horde of assassins. Yet we never speculate as to whether the conversational pessimist will strengthen or disorganize society; for we are convinced that theories do not matter."

I gotta bulletproof heart
You gotta hollow point smile
We had our run away scarves,
Got a photograph dream on the getaway mile.

Be strong; Be strong, Be strong and Work

For the Lord is with you. (Haggai 2:4) NIV

Yet now be strong, alert, and courageous, and work (Amplified Version)

But cheer up! Because I, the LORD All-Powerful, will be here to help you with the work, (CEV)

Time by George Herbert

Time.

MEeting with Time, slack thing, said I,

Thy sithe is dull; whet it for shame.

No marvell Sir, he did replie,

If it at length deserve some blame:

  But where one man would have me grinde it,

Twentie for one too sharp do finde it.

Perhaps some such of old did passe,

Who above all things lov’d this life:

To whom thy sithe a hatchet was,

Which now is but a pruning knife.

Christs coming hath made man thy debter,

Since by thy cutting he grows better.

And in his blessing thou art blest:

For where thou onely wert before

An executioner at best;

Thou art a gard’ner now, and more,

An usher to convey our souls

Beyond the utmost starres and poles.

And this is that makes life so long,

While it detains us from our God.

Ev’n pleasures here increase the wrong,

And length of dayes lengthen the rod.

Who wants the place, where God doth dwell,

Partakes already half of hell.

Of what strange length must that needs be,

Which ev’n eternitie excludes!

Thus farre Time heard me patiently:

Then chafing said, This man deludes:

What do I here before his doore?

He doth not crave lesse time, but more.

I am desperate for Your touch
a glimpse of heaven
for the glory of Your Son.
In a moment You can
turn a life around
forever to be found in You.

I am reaching out to find
theres nothing greater than
Your love that holds my life.
Your grace and mercy that
have saved me by Your blood,
and swept away my shame Oh Lord.

Your love is like fire
that burns for all to see.
My only desire
to worship at Your feet.
So let this fire
consume my life.
Let Your love take me deeper
pull me closer to where You are,
‘cause all I want is more of You.

and I’ll surrender to Your love
forever humbled by the
message of the cross.
I stand abandoned in
Your presence and Your grace,
and I’ll never be the same Oh God.

Your love is like fire,
that burns for all to see.
My only desire,
to worship at Your feet.
So let this fire
consume my life.
Let Your love take me deeper,
pull me closer to where You are,
‘cause all I want is more of You.

I belong to You Lord

Your love is like fire,
that burns for all to see.
My only desire,
to worship at Your feet.

When You call I will follow,
at the cross I surrender all,
Jesus I belong to You.

Let Your love take me deeper,
pull me closer to where You are,
cause all I want is more of You

When You call I will follow,
at the cross I surrender all,
Jesus I belong to You.

Coz I know I’m weak.

I know I’m unworthy

To call upon your name,

But BECAUSE OF GrACE

BECAUSE OF Your MeRcy..

I stand here UnAshamed..

An heiress of God, A watchman, medic and defender of Truth, A Warrior of LIGHT. Lover of Wisdom, a Student of Life. A future resident of HEAVEN.

I feel deaf sometimes due to silence
yet, I found serenity with its embrace.
I feel cold sometimes with the stillness
yet, I found conformity with its grace.
