CONVERSATIONS: GOD AND A BOY #8

And it all comes to you
You are the reason I exist
Sometimes I want to exist for more
Then I forget you are more than enough
Simply put. . . . I was made for you
To give you glory
To give you pleasure
My purpose for living
My purpose for reasoning
Be all
You see all
You know all
You know the extraordinary life you have for ordinary me
The type that gives you pleasure per moment
Help me not to be cut up in the way of the world
Let the focus be on you and in you
All eyes on Sweet Jesus
Help me to always remember how every material thing would fade away
Help me also remember the possibility of friends failing
The temporary fulfillment of success
The unpredictability of death
The shortness of the time on earth
The unending nature of eternity
And the tenderness of a forever faithful God
Help me remember
Cause often I forget
Often I forget I’m yours
Like I’m almost forgetting the main reason I’m having this conversation
Help me Sweet Jesus
You enable the unable
You wisen the unwise
Help me
You are the reason I exist
Without you I don’t exist
I’m tired of being extinct for so long
To get out and live for more
You are more
More than enough
My reason
My purpose
And so much more
So much more than enough
And it all comes to You
Cause without You, There will be no me

BROKEN ROAD (THE WEDDING SONG)

In search of love
I traveled a broken road to get to you
In search of you
I traveled a long road to get to love
All the hurt
All the pain
Broken dreams
Shattered hearts
I thought all was lost
Sometimes I thought I was too old for love
Love would never find me I thought
‘You’ was a dream
‘You’ was a fantasy
But one thing was for sure
All the hurt and pain
Broken dreams and shattered hearts
Where all northern stars pointing me to a manger where Love resides
They led me to where you were
Now where you are is where I am
And two becomes one
Now I look back and I find myself looking forward
The smile comes easily
Joy eases the heartache
I found you
I found love
I have you
I have love
I’m thankful for every broken dreams
Cause You are the reality I always dreamt of
And I’m thankful for the broken road
Cause at the end of this broken road
It was you waiting for me
Ready to say “I do”

IT’S DARKEST BEFORE DAWN

The morning comes and we rejoice
The sun is in the sky
And it’s so good to be alive we like to say
But then the battles of the night are nothing but a figment of our imagination
The morning has a beauty
But there’s no morning that didn’t go through a night
The dawn breaks
Our battles are won

But before the dawn
You seem not to stand the heat of the battle
You want to break down
You want to give up
You want to throw up your hands and walk away
But you’ve come a long way
You can’t give up now
In a moment everything can change
It’s no false hope
It’s no blind faith
That moment is your moment
The moment you’ve been waiting for
You gave in so much to give up now
You’ve been through so much to give in now
You are strong my friend
In you is self discipline, perseverance and the courage to make it through the night
The night may be darkest at this point
But the truth is. . . .
It’s darkest before dawn
Your moment would come
Your time is now
And that’s as sure as the coming dawn

In the time being
Keep the faith
Hold on
Find strength to help another friend through a dark hour
On your way to the top you would be taking others with you

Next time you want to give in
Next time you want to throw your hands up and walk away
Stop for a moment
Quiet your mind
Meditate for a while
Let an inner voice whisper these truths to you again
‘I’ve got what it takes to make it
In a moment everything can change
Right attitude needed, this could be my day
It might be darkest right now
But my dawn breaks soon
Cause it’s always darkest before dawn’

THANK YOU ENEMY

Thank you enemy
You were the best friend I ever had
Without you there will be no me
Are you surprised?
Please don't be
Thanks so much for unraveling the me you never wanted
The me I never knew
The me you never saw
The me in me
In the long run
You shook out the worst in me
You brought out the best in me
You were an essential tool for making a hero from zero
You made something beautiful from these lumps of coal
You threw them up in the flames to burn out
But all the fire did was to purify these lumps of coal
You poured a glass of cold water on my life
You woke me up from my fairy tale slumber
It was a hard world after all, I got to realize
But for me I could maintain a good and interesting attitude always all the way
You taught how to smile through the pain
You taught me to say 'I can make it through the rain'
Dear enemy
You were a blessing in disguise
A blessing disguised as a curse
Your intention was to make me weaker
I don't know how, but I got stronger
You told so many lies
But now I'm convinced about a truth
You brought the best out of me
You got the rest out of me
You put me to the test
You made me see I was better than the rest
And you were the best friend after all
Thank you :)
