I gaze upon my fallen lords

I gaze upon my fallen lords

at all my chains and idols

all fallen to the holy sword

~

The crimson battlefield

whence my lords were slain
whence to my true Lord I yield

~

Now lift up this diadem of praise

And crown the Lord of Life

That saved us through His grace

~

haha super random and I think many ppl wont understand

Turn Your Eyes From The Storm

I've been travelling so long
on ice so thin it feels like water
on and on
All around the storm resound, shouting
"You CAN'T hold on much longer"
on and on
My foot is slipping in cold water
Then His voice rang louder than the thunder

Turn your eyes from the storm
look to me you will not fall
trust in me and hold my hand
walk with me and you will stand
The sun will rise the clouds will fade
The pain will make you strong
Turn your eyes from the storm

On and on and on my way
Stumbling here and there along
on and on
the waves are coming up my waist
I feel the wind's choking song
on and on
I cry out 'Lord O Lord O save me"
Then His voice rose above the song

Turn Your eyes from the Storm
Look to me you will not fall
Your grip on me is slipping loose
but I am holding on to you
The sun will rise, the clouds will fade
have faith, have faith
Turn your eyes from the storm

Sweet Presbitry

Today, I went to AMKPC. I talked to my leaders about what I felt. They advised me that if I wasn't growing, in this church, they recommended me to go to the church I could grow better in. I know you may think it sounds harsh but actually they said it very nicely to me. So, I guess this is it huh? God is calling me to another church? Shall I transfer to Trinity now? I don't know I'm just so confused and heartbroken. Heartbroken not because my church has abandoned me but I am abandoning my church. I guess I foresaw this, I just never expected it to happen.
~
My heart was breaking within me as I made this poem, to the tune of "Sweet Hour of Prayer"

SWEET PRESBITRY
Sweet Presbitry, Sweet Presbitry
My roots have grown so deep in thee
You were a guide a home to me
I always found my God in thee
~~
Yet in the years I hoped to grow,
I nary found a single soul
To laugh with me and cry with me
My deepest secret to bear with me
~~
Sweet Presbitry, Sweet Presbitry
I could not find one with the same zeal as me
And now I long for another Tree
I beg thee do not cry 'Adultery!'
~~
Yet I cannot bear, for me to tear
myself from you my tribal share
Yet I found God in yonder elsewhere
So cry me not, my dear, my care
~
Sweet Presbitry, Sweet Presbitry
I pray you'll grow well without me
You may forget me but I will never thee
Farewell, Farewell Sweet Presbitry
~
Farewell,
~
Farewell,
~
Sweet Presbitry.

He went away

okay, this poem/song is dedicated to a certain someone:
~~~
I heard the news,
he will go away.
far away, a place to shake his past loose.
To go to a paradise he could choose.
what can I do? but watch him go
and keep my tears from flowing, so slow.
~~
Just keep running, keep on running,
when will you stop and look,
you've already found your heart's desire.
Keep on searching, you'll start hurting
if you just stop and look.
Don't be afraid, through hurt you'll grow stronger
but you just will not stop and look
I pray to God you'll not loose your way
when you went away
~~
Zero hour came
he's going away
fading from hour hearts, fading from our minds
he wish we'd forget, but we never could
they gave him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh
but I could only offer him this prayer
~~
Just keep running, keep on running
but do you know what you
are running from? when you've passed your heart's one desire
You kept searching, never finding
you will not just fade away
when you went away
And I pray to God you'll find your way
not to leave the path but each day to pray
for strength to face the day
~~
Just keep running, keep on running
do you still know what you are running for?
Just stop searching, and start finding
just remember what you're searching for
You're no longer here but you can still go there.
And I pray to God you'll find your way
when you went away
when you went away
don't fade away

The Scarlet Scarred Hands

I know that I may be superficial to say this since I wrote this poem, but this is simply beautiful
.
In the beginning they were there
hands that formed the the skies so vast
Hands too big for us to comprehend
became flesh to be scarred for us
.
Behold the scarlet scarred hands
nailed upon the cruel cross
Hands that made the very men
that would bring His death across
That our broken hearts He would come to glean
His scarlet hands have made ours clean
.
Come see the scars in His hands and feet
He is not dead nor does he sleep
Behold His hands reach out in love
they come to comfort, indeed to serve.
.
Until now I still stand amazed
How could God's hands fit into mine?
That He is mine to love and hold
The scarlet scarred hands put all sins behind

Give Me Your Love

This is the Poem I wrote in Surabaya,
Give me Your love
to love those unlovable
Give me Your love
to reach out to the lost
So sweet Your love
that enables the unable
I need Your love
to tell them You've paid their cost.

Who Can Stand?

Felt like writing a random poem here goes!:


I stand
Among a thousand others
Taking their stand
Against the raging seas
~~~
One question remains
Who can stand?
~
Who can stand?
When mountains tremble and giants fall
Who can stand?
When----- all around you disasters -----call
The -------mountains melt like ------wax
The ---------valleys split ------- ---asunder
Among it all,
Who can stand?
~~~
The time has come
Dark clouds on the horizon
Yet it comes
Before your eyes are open
~
One question remains
Can you stand?
~~~
He can stand
And the way -----to Him is open
He can--------- stand
Eventhough --------all else fails
The mountains------ melt like wax
The valleys ------split asunder
Among it all --------He can stand
~
And in himHim-------I will stand
He is ---------my stand
In you I ------------will stand
Jesus you-----------are my stand
~~~
Haha is sounds more like a song than a poem, maybe I will turn it into a song, haha. Problem is, I'm terrible when it comes to making tunes. so a poem it will be:)
