THIS IS COSMO RAINES' POETRY CORNER - ENJOY!
Victory
Sin has garrisoned a foothold
Darkening a corner of my heart
Time will tick
As He melts the stone
Weighing so heavy in my chest
His angels lay siege
Gathering in the cool valleys
They mount up
They confront the accuser
They strike when I have no strength
My cup is filled
I thirst no longer
Bread is offered to my eager lips
I hunger no longer
I feed upon the lamb
Upon my knees
I exalt and praise Him
Upon my brow
I feel His fresh anointing
Ushered into me is the strength of the lion
The battles will be long
I will grow weary
But He who never slumbers
Will refine this soul like gold
And the wicked shall find no rest there
Dark Undercurrents
Flowing and weaving
Swirling and whirling
Enticing the dance
Of those who smile above it
A cheer and a jeer
For all who are near
To let them see
That there is no problem with me
I am above the wake
Oh the distance I stake
Untouchable
Yet grounded in slag
I stand high above you
I set myself apart
I hope that you will not speak
About the topic I will not start
My calluses are so thick
Am I no longer in any pain
By the fire that burns below me -
In the pits of my disdain
These dark undercurrents
They suckle at my spirit
Draining me of true life -
Resistance? I've learned to fear it!
Where will these tides eventually take me?
Is there a single caring soul out there?
No, I will not reach out for help -
As it will ruin the lie I choose to bear…
This is a little song that I received during my worship of the Lord.
I ADORE YOU
i love you lord jesus
Jesus, you are the Lamb of God, worthy is your name
Jesus, precious Lamb of God, worthy is your name
I adore you, yes, I adore you
As I follow that glorious star to your birth
Yes, I adore you, Yes, I adore you
As I see you take your first breath on this earth
so wonderful, so wonderful
Jesus, you are the Word of God, worthy is your name
Jesus, you are the Word of God, worthy is your name
and, I behold you, yes I behold you
As you heal the sick, the lame - raise the dead
I behold you, yes, I behold you
As you love the world and seek the lost
To redeem us all, to redeem us all
Jesus, you are the Son of God, worthy is your name
Jesus, you are the Son of God, worthy is your name
and I exhalt you, yes, I exhalt you
As I see you hanging there in pain
I exhalt you, yes, I exhalt you
As I see you turn your eyes toward me
so beautiful, so beautiful
Jesus, (pause) beloved of God, worthy is your name
Jesus, (pause) beloved of God, worthy is your name
And I receive you, yes I receive you
As I see you roll away the stone
I receive you, yes I receive you
As I see you ascend up to your Throne
forevermore, forevermore
And you offer unto me
life eternally, life eternally
Jesus, you are the breath of God, holy is your name
Jesus, you are the breath of God, holy is your name
I believe you, yes I believe you
when you say I have eternal life - born again - kingdom of God - king of the world - door to father - only way to the Father
A Day Just Like This
Days like this
There is no explaining it
Your love stretches over me
And the dark clouds cease to encompass my eyes
Days like this
No words find a proper meaning
Your love washes over me
And the treacherous oceans are stilled
Days like this
My breath finds no voice
Your love sings over me
And the noise of the world is silenced
Days like this
My lips are agape
Your love whips over me
And the restless winds are hushed
Days like this
I am overjoyed
We meet together and rejoice
And the Lord rejoices with us
Days like this
I am so fortunate
I have a friend that loves me
- a friend that I love, too.
Days like this
Cool and soft
Bright and still
Crisp and calm
I delight in knowing you
My memories will never fade
I have a picture secured deep in my soul
I have a map that traces back
To the day the Lord led me to you
It was a day
A day just like this
I wish I was a bug
I wish I was a bug
on your rug,
sitting there so snug
as I look at your mug
Upon your sleeve I would give a tug
So you would scream - 'you big lug!'
But don't run! -
I need a hug
And don't try to squish me! -
Or I'll run into the hole in your soap that I dug
I would be small - but I'd have feelings, too! -
Would you still cuddle with me -
If I were your little bug-wug?
