Back, back, back
spiritual lack
mind on a stack
churches and all that
not interested--they slack.
Thinking about what was,
Bible collecting dust fuzz.
Thought about Jesus
while riding the bus.
No blessings coming here,
made God tear.
Wouldn't listen to what He had to say,
wouldn't bother to pray.
Thought I knew much,
used people as a crutch.
Then died and died some more,
looking for God to restore,
a broken heart,
a need for a new start.
Sometimes we rise too fast,
rely on human love--it doesn't last.
Then we get trapped in the past.
What was doesn't have to be,
let God open your eyes, so that you can see.

Violence
Impacted by a screaming woman, angry man
he listens, watches, listens
he sees nothing wrong with the song,
"...kill, beat, choke, kick, lie, connive"
for one dollar or many
Lost man likes blood,
threatens to draw blood
for every dark force
that moves him.
So far from his Father.
He thinks he is okay, alright
violent heart, violent thoughts,
gaming is a thing of the past.
He looks to feed the lust of evil
one day, but maybe not today.
Hollywood worships demonic spirits--
chants, cries, murders, and lies.
They offer Satan blood, then more,
never satisfied, the violent god preys on the weak.
An offer the devil made, the violent man
never prayed not like he will
after his first kill
love will be replaced
then he will seek God's face.

Men, Women: What Do You Want in a Relationship?
For the Relationship
You want me,
I want you.
But what do we want?
We use to know.
Heard about So and So.
Thought we were better,
but we are them--down to the letter!
I don't know why I stay with you,
wonder what is our God's view--
need him to tell me what to do.
For you said you loved me,
and I know this is true,
but good times we have are few.
"Pray!" they say, visions of our wedding day.
"Fast!" they say, need to put behind the past.
Love like ours just has to last!
So I take a moment out of a busy day,
and I say, "Please God, help me today!"

What God Has For Me, It Is For Me
Beautiful voice! Be moved! Watch out for your blessing--God is good!
Pain
Pain had me going insane.
I tossed back my mane.
What is going on and why?
I took a sigh.
"Lord, why?"
What do I gain
from going through pain?
Something good must be ahead--
as soon as I get out of this bed.
The devil was speaking,
his scent was reeking.
Told me I was going to die,
you know that was a lie!
So I made up my mind,
"Seek and I will find."
Put my hand on the holy book,
and it just shook and shook.
With tears in my eyes,
I kept fighting against personal lies.
"My, my, my, why, why?"
God gave me peace.
The pain had to cease.
From pills to chills, staring out at hills,
from prayers and good wishes, and stinking dishes,
it was time for change, had to keep God in range.
This was crazy stuff, I was feeling so bad,
looked rough, but you know God's people are tough.
Pain tempts you to go insane,
you might even walk with a cane,
but sooner or later, you will be back,
and spiritual gifts will come in a stack.
God will bless you like never before,
your heart can't stand what is in store.
So give God the glory,
and be prepared to tell your story.

For the Love of Jezebel
A couple a part of the same dirty cloth,
lies cover the corner of mouths, they froth.
"I will always love you!"
"I will do what you do."
Then one day she will turn around and sue you.
Claim to love like God from above.
But no Holy Spirit sign of a dove.
Love doesn't manipulate and shove!
Jezebel makes a man do what she wants,
enlists the help of her mother and aunts.
"She is nice--real sweet--like sugar and spice."
But they forgot to tell you their methods to entice.
You see Jezebel women seek Ahab men
then find a way to enslave them in their den.
She does everything she thinks she can
while ensnaring a wayward man.
Jezebel finds exotic places to keep up with her tan.
But when money runs low,
Jezebel will put on a show!
Tell you, "Your no good...who do you know?"
See, she holds the bag of money,
smiles between teeth that drip honey.
But sooner or later she will start acting funny!
"Pay this bill. Avoid your cheap thrills!
And, oh, by the way, I forgot to take my pills!"
Jezebel leads Ahab by the nose
her scent smells just like a red rose.
"Why don't we go here? Where are you going?
And where is your seed to help with the sowing?"
She drives men mad with her plotting and scheming--
scares them away with all her crying and screaming.
Oh yes, he got himself a sure winner,
one who will eat him up for dinner.
Because when the truth comes out,
he will fight and shout.
"I've been had...this woman is driving me mad!
What I do is never good enough,
being with her is more than tough!"
Ahab walks away in a huff.
Their get along act is getting old,
phony smiles like faux gold.
Jezebel keeps exaggerating stories,
while Ahab rehashes his old glories.
Anything for the wet lips of Jezebel who weakens the flesh.
Foolish men know nothing when a relationship is still new, still fresh.

The Church Man: A 2003 Construct
He tells me he likes to go to the show,
goes to church when feeling real low.
Talking about the church man,
from the Bible he once abandoned and ran.
You see a man of the cloth,
but his thinking appears to be as old as the moth.
Flaky, annoying and strange to listen to.
He's not the type you would call, "Baby Boy or Boo."
Now I thought about a time or two
when he spoke about Jesus and us too.
At times, felt like he was my foe--
used me sometimes to put on a show.
But he turned out to be alright,
until he said, "What should we do tonight?"
Words are like a lamp with a bright light,
shines on everything within sight.
"What about tonight?" I said.
"Can I sleep with you in your bed?"
Still lost, I didn't refuse.
Opened the door to spiritual abuse.
So you see, you can say what you want,
but the enemy sets traps to flaunt.
Some get caught in a whole lot of trouble,
think it's okay to act like a rebel.
But I am here to tell you godly people are few,
you compromise my friend, you too will lose.

Where We Are, What's to Come
A wish to be great
a wish to have a steak
a wish to have a mate
a wish not to be late...
So many wishes, so little time
wasted moments--now that's a crime!
Don't bother to plan
unless pushed by a man!
Don't bother to do what's right
unless motivated by a plight!
Now we can keep talking,
but sooner or later,
you will be walking.
Cause you think, "I know..."
but your words are just for show.
God moves on us to make changes.
Believers yell at different ranges.
"Open your eyes, don't believe lies!"
"Pray, give God his glory, today!"
"Stay away from the bad, it will just make you sad!"
One cries for a useless, over-priced toy,
another one sighs because he wanted a boy.
So many look to God like he's a Genie,
they create a spiritual front by wearing a beanie.
Now I didn't want to be the one to break the news,
but too many facades and many will lose!
No Christian leaders at the head table,
just a relationship similar to Cain and Able.
No spiritual men hiding their sin,
just seductive women to sink their teeth in.
No movies about the things of God,
just another bad show about a guy named Todd.
No love for the churches or the people,
just broken crosses on a steeple.
The world is changing, there is no peace,
just warnings like, "You better cease!"
For man is tired of being loyal,
he no longer respects what is royal.
