April 16th VT Lament

Here is a Lament that I wrote after I heard about the Virginia Tech Shooting. Sometimes the only way I can express what I feel is through lyrics. These are still rough but It's how I was feeling at the time. Be praying for the Virginia Tech families and for all those who were affected.

April 16, 2007 VT LAMENT

Verse 1
The other day I heard about
How one life took another
I cried about the sheer amount
Of hatred toward each other

I asked myself why God would
Allow this thing to happen
I asked him then if he could
Help all of us who have fallen

Bridge 1
Our tears have tumbled from our eyes
Our hearts have crumbled for our demise
Now we need you God to intervene
Lord come now and do something

Chorus 1
When will you come?
And save us from this pain
When will you come?
Do we pray in vain?
For we need you now
To help us all forgive
We need you now
Lord come and help us live

Verse 2
Who then shall separate us
From the love of Christ
Will trouble, danger or nakedness?
Or any other vice?

For I am convinced that nothing will
Separate us from Christ’s love
Not death or life, not angels or demons
For everything he is above

Bridge 2
We ask you now to bring us life
We ask you come and heal our lives
We know that you are surely alive
For you are our God help us to forgive

Chorus 2
Lord now come
And save us from this pain
Lord now come
Our prayers are not in vain
For we know you will
Help us all forgive
We need your help now
So lord come help us live

Truth's Not True

There once was a time

When truth was true

But now everyone

Has their own truth

Truth is personal

In a world full of

“What do you thinks” and “Maybes”

The absolutes are gone

Even if there is a god

His name is up to you

You can stare a lie

Right in the face

And tell it’s not the truth

But it’s hard to know

When truth is truth

When everyone has their own

Truth’s not true

Should I Go or Should I Stay?

This is a question I've been asking myself lately. I haven't written anything in awhile. The main reason I haven't written anything in awhile is because I don't want to put forth the effort of writting something if no one is going to read. I feel like Xanga is history. What are your feelings (if there is anyone out there)? Should I continue posting or should I stop. If I get 10 comments I might consider continuing.

Constant Sin: A Lament

Constant sin

The trap I’m in

Un-forgiven in my mind

The way is dark

I feel no remorse

My sin is moving in

The way out seems barred

Barred by my own self serving heart

I feel as if God isn’t there

Like he is as distant as the sun

The sun is setting in my life

The warmth of love from God is gone

I feel only shame

My sin has bound me

I feel locked in

Constant sin

This web I’m in

I am stuck within this maze

My soul can’t seem to find its way out

I look up

Through the haze

I search for someone there to help

Cause I cannot help myself

But no one’s there

I’ve searched in vain

For some help to guide me out

And lead me from this shroud of doubt

I look down

And walk ahead

And find the bodies of the dead

Who never made it out again

I cry out

For God to save

My wretched soul that wallows in

This mud and dirt that is my sin

Will help come

Will God save me

From this maze of sin I’ve made

The only way out

Is through the gates my heart has made

I must break through

I realize now that only through

The Son can my sinful bonds be broken

God give me strength to rely on you

Only by you and your grace will

My soul be saved

God save me

I am yours!
