<p>There were times in my life</p>
<p>Full of darkness and pain.</p>
<p>Times of loneliness and hurt</p>
<p>When I called out YOUR name!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As I look at those times</p>
<p>When all I felt was despair,</p>
<p>I can see now so clearly LORD,</p>
<p>That YOU were always there!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All of those painful memories</p>
<p>Have all had there place,</p>
<p>In proving YOUR LOVE for me,</p>
<p>YOUR Mercy and Grace!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Even though I was alone physically</p>
<p>And so close to death!</p>
<p>Out of nowhere YOU revived me,</p>
<p>And gave me another breath!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>LORD! This is a prayer of thanks,</p>
<p>For the LOVE YOU have shown me.</p>
<p>Words cannot explain the respect that I have</p>
<p>Nor are there pictures to see.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>LORD YOU are Worthy</p>
<p>Of all Glory and Praise!</p>
<p>I offer my life to YOU FATHER</p>
<p>Guide me in YOUR Perfect Ways!</p>
<p>Selah! Amen!</p>

<p>Darkness was all I could see</p>
<p>Damp and cold air </p>
<p>Was all I had to breathe!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My grip around cold iron bars</p>
<p>Wrapping my hands tightly,</p>
<p>Trying one last attempt to spread them apart,</p>
<p>So that once again I might be freed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No sooner did a voice come from the distance.</p>
<p>Soft and gentle, full of Grace and sincerity. </p>
<p><em>“You can stand down now guard!,</em></p>
<p><em>Not one of these prisoners is now your responsibility!”</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then I heard that voice so familiar, raspy and rough,</p>
<p>‘Who are you to say this to me?’</p>
<p><em>“If you haven&#8217;t heard yet my friend, </em></p>
<p><em>I have purchased these captives with all authority, </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Even you yourself have been given freedom,</em></p>
<p><em>For the rest of eternity! </em></p>
<p><em>I&#8217;m not here to argue, not here to accuse,</em></p>
<p><em>It&#8217;s a gift for the taking, Look for yourself! I even hold the keys!”</em></p>

<p>The war that was waged<br />Was hopeless at best.<br />Short of A Good General <br />That they could send to the test.</p>
<p>Whom they needed to win<br />Was so hard to find.<br />Until the Father gave in<br />To offer whom He had in mind.</p>
<p>His first born son<br />Who&#8217;s life had been perfectly lived.<br />To Him this great treasure,<br />Felt so hard to give.</p>
<p>But He knew His Son so well<br />That He was a guaranteed to win<br />He knew all the enemies strategies,<br />And He was the perfect offering for sin.</p>
<p>So to the battlefield He went,<br />With compassion and Love. <br />Not to forget the SPIRIT, <br />His Father sent from above.</p>
<p>The battle became so intense,<br />Yet He stood firm with Grace!<br />With short periods of loneliness,<br />And many tears fell down His Face.</p>
<p>The Father had sent Him to win this war,<br />Once and for all<br />At all Costs and nothing spared,<br />He was there for the call.</p>
<p>The Father knew that His son would prevail whether He lived, or He died. <br />But to watch a Son so perfect suffering,<br />There were no tears He could hide.</p>
<p>Imagine it was Your Son, <br />Sent to win this great Fight<br />And to show them forgiveness,<br />Just doesn&#8217;t feel right.</p>
<p>But it is!!! <br />It is right you see!!!<br />Because without this Victory,<br />Where would we all be??</p>
<p>Yes in the end the Son gave up His Life,<br />It was in order to win.<br />Then He also Rose again<br />and gave us victory over sin!</p>

<p>The answer is TRULY JESUS .</p>
<p>HE is the Epitome of LOVE.</p>
<p>The LOVE that the world of non-believers does not receiveth.</p>
<p>Because it is sent from above.</p>
<p>The only way to understanding</p>
<p>To be inspired by SPIRIT.</p>
<p>The only Way to The SPIRIT</p>
<p>Is believing in the death and resurrecting power of JESUS.</p>
<p>It may be symbolism in the minds of some,</p>
<p>But it is a true and authentic relationship with THE ONE.</p>
<p>a life transforming death to the ways of the world.</p>
<p>and a new life in the spirit. As is said, &#8220;Death to the body and sin,</p>
<p>to life everlasting in the SPIRIT&#8221;,</p>
<p>Then THAT which is PERFECT will come!</p>

<p>My life was tragedy.</p>
<p>My life was loss.</p>
<p>My life was sadness.</p>
<p>for the people I lost.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My life was anger,</p>
<p>constant with struggle.</p>
<p>My life was fear.</p>
<p>Of the tricks of the devil.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My life was shame,</p>
<p>helpless and hurt.</p>
<p>Carrying my sorrow,</p>
<p>while living in dirt.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My life was arrogance,</p>
<p>covered with pride.</p>
<p>My life was prison,</p>
<p>all locked up inside.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My life is now freedom,</p>
<p>broken those chains.</p>
<p>I now know the reason,</p>
<p>for my purpose and aim.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My life is Growth,</p>
<p>with a capital G.</p>
<p>My life is Gratitude,</p>
<p>the next line you can see.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My life is ministry,</p>
<p>a mission of sorts,</p>
<p>full of excitement,</p>
<p>with no fear or retorts.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>All I ever wanted!</p>
<p>Every desire of my heart,</p>
<p>has come to fruition. </p>
<p>As I wished from the start.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now, what I see has become reality.</p>
<p>Of course in part, through duality.</p>
<p>The eyes that are within me,</p>
<p>are now one with my heart.</p>

<p>When You say <u>The Lord’s Prayer,</u></p>
<p>Do You Pray from Your heart?</p>
<p>Do You understand completely? </p>
<p>Right from the start?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did you really mean it, </p>
<p>When You said “Thy Will Be Done”?</p>
<p>Did You ask for His Blessing,</p>
<p>Yet pay Him back none?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When You say “Holy is Thy Name”, </p>
<p>Do You bow in Respect?</p>
<p>Or do You look around aimless</p>
<p>And What He gives, You reject?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For thousands of years</p>
<p>We have said <u>The Lord’s Prayer.</u></p>
<p>Yet nothing has changed!</p>
<p>Wasted words in the air!</p>
