Lovesong Poetry

[Wolf]

I am a big Josh Wilson Fan <3
As I was writing I could hear the melody of this song in my head,
so I had to put it down.. I guess I can relate to it today.

Savior, Please
Song by: Josh Wilson
Songwriters: GLOVER, BEN / WILSON, JOSH

Savior, Please by Josh Wilson lyrics onscreen - YouTube

Savior please take my hand
I work so hard, I live so fast
This life begins and then it ends
And I do the best that I can
But I don't know how long I'll last

I try to be so tough but I'm just not strong enough
I can't do this alone, God I need You to hold on to me
I try to be good enough but I'm nothing without Your love
Savior please keep saving me

Savior please help me stand
I fall so hard, I fade so fast
Will You begin right where I end
And be the God of all I am because You're all that I have
[ Lyrics from: Josh Wilson - Savior, Please Lyrics ]
I try to be so tough but I'm just not strong enough
I can't do this alone, God I need You to hold on to me
I try to be good enough but I'm nothing without Your love
Savior please keep saving me

(Hallelujah)
Everything You are to me
(Hallelujah)
Is everything I'll ever need
(Hallelujah)
And I am learning to believe
(Hallelujah)
That I don't have to prove a thing
(Hallelujah)
'Cause You're the one who's saving me
Hallelujah

I try to be so tough but I'm just not strong enough
I can't do this alone, God I need You to hold on to me
I try to be good enough but I'm nothing without Your love
Savior please keep saving me, Savior please keep saving me​

Your Guilty Pleasure
by: Lowanla (me)

You have been leaning on a crutch
that you have had for quite some time,
and it has my name written all over it
You've been saying,

"if you don't do this for me,
I'll hurt me,
to hurt you.."

You wrap a pretty bow on it
and call it your gift of love,

you say I don't love you
you say I don't care if you live or die
oh why, oh why then
do you think I always
feel guilt and cry

But I've always been there for you,
I let you treat me like a eternal one night stand,
you never bought me a gift,
you never gave me a ring,
you never said you were sorry,
for all the pain and personal torment
You never did the 'boyfriend' thing,
I was the girl I never wanted to be
I was the girl made easy.

Easy for you,
but tough on this heart
you never held my hand,
you never saw me as worth anything,
nor even considered a date

so when you make me feel worthless
so you can feel better about yourself,
I hope you realize what you put me through,
that I hurt and sigh just like you..

these tears aren't for fun
and I was never laughing.
it was probably the sobs
because you never seen
me really smile.

Mercy
by: Lowanla (me)

Mercy

When I was saved but sold my soul anyway,
God still said, "Come on home.."
I did and I was received that was..

Mercy

When I called God every name in the book,
and he still loved me anyway

Mercy

When plans don't go my way

Mercy

When God says no to what I want

Mercy

When my flesh wants me to fail,
and God sends his protection to guard me..

Mercy

When I finally realize I can't make it on my own,
and I am barely making it through, with Gods help

Mercy

Thank you Jesus, for your unconditional

Love and Mercy

I love this song, I heard on the radio. This sounds like me.

When Mercy Found Me
Lyrics and Song by: Rhett Walker Band


I can't count the broken roads I've been down,
but all I know..
Something had to give..
something had to give..

'Cause living my life so wild and free,
finally caught up
Oh it left me broken..
left me hopeless..

But that's where I met Jesus

In one moment
everything changed
Who I was got washed away
When mercy
found me

My Savior's arms were open wide
And I felt love for the very first time
When mercy found me
When mercy found me

All those days,
all those doubts
They don't seem
to matter now
His Grace is all I need
His Grace is all I need

And the chains that I was in before
They don't hold me anymore
His love has rescued me
His love has set me free

In one moment everything changed
Who I was got washed away
When mercy found me

My Savior's arms were open wide
And I felt love for the very first time

When mercy found me
My mind found peace
My soul found hope
My heart found a home
In one moment everything changed
Who I was got washed away
When mercy found me

My Savior's arms were open wide
And I felt love for the very first time

When mercy found me
When mercy found me
When mercy found me
When mercy found me
When mercy found me
When mercy found me​

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. - Psalm 118:17

some good news

Even though I was struggling a lot with the spiritual issues,

I got a 4.0 on my GPA
in college!

I gotta give God all the glory for that,
he's bringing me through, I remember a few years ago I had to give up,
a really good school I was going to because of this unexplained spiritual
thing on the right side of my head, caused me a lot of confusion, memory loss,
I felt so bad about that...because nobody could help me, nobody knew what it was..

The next year I decided to go back to school, I was having struggles with
that thing, but I remember hearing in my spirit, from the Holy Spirit,
at this dinner I went to with my younger sister, it was a dinner to honor all of the highly excepted students,
he told me: "You belong here."

I almost started to cry...because at that time, I didn't believe it. I didn't think I would
be good enough to get there, I never believed people when they told me I was smart.

I can't believe how awesome this is,

Thank you Jesus!

You are lifting me up, to where I belong, and that is in your plan.

Praise God! I'm so happy right now, I can't believe how good I feel.

For the Lord is Good! And his Mercy Endures Forever!
I won't ever forget your benefits

 

[PopClick]

That's really, really awesome! So glad to hear it

 

[Wolf]

That's really, really awesome! So glad to hear it

aww baby turtle!! XD

Thankyou! I'm so happy

 

[Wolf]

My God is an awesome God <3
Thankyou Jesus!

You Raise Me Up
Lyrics by Brendan Graham

When I am down
and, oh my soul,
so weary;

When troubles come
and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still
and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... to more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... to more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
And I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... to more than I can be.
You raise me up... to more than I can be.

Isn't it great, how God can see our faults, our fears, and everything about us... and love us anyway? I've probably said this before, but... wow, He's cool!

My thoughts on love
by: Lowanla (me)

Love is like a lighted candle that must not be
hidden or it may be smothered,
how can you keep a small flame hidden
when it may ignite the night
so that the whole world might see
its wondrous beauty

Love is a fragile flower
that should not be hidden,
or it may be crushed under the weight,
and it will never last

When you love someone you give them life,
you speak life into them, they feel alive around you,
They should feel like they are worth something
good everyday, and you can't see yourself without them.

I desire the greatest gift of all..experience
and life. The desire of my heart is to have
a boyfriend, then a husband, for real.

I may not be the greatest nor most physically desirable
to love as a human being, but
I do know I am worth at least a life experience.
To know the beauty of the realities of love.
I don't expect much, just the experience.
I don't want to hide, nor pretend, I just want a life.
I don't want to impress the world, nor make
a statement. I just want a life.

If you aren't able to give me that at least,
you should stop pretending you love me,
let me go and hold onto the beautiful woman
you are with for real physically,
who probably does love you back.

Every time you try to hold me this way,
you make me feel like I am just not worth the life
experience nor worth your time.

I think you should let go of me, I won't be angry at you,
I won't judge you if you do.

Or else one day, God may reveal these hidden things to
the world and I may embarrass you..

I don't want to embarrass you.

I really want you to live, I love you,
and I really do care about your life..

I just want you to be free and happy, with someone
you can stand being around and be seen with...

My God, My Dad
by: Lowanla (me)

Nothing is hidden from your sight O God,
Nothing physical, Nothing Spiritual,
nothing in the hidden depths of ones heart,
For my God is everywhere, he see's everything,
In the dark you see as if day, and no thought is safe

I am the apple of your eye my God, my dad
when things I cannot see come to embrace me,
as if to hide me as if I was worthless,
you can see who and what they are
and for my sake you reveal these things in time
you keep me safe by your mercy and grace

You right the wrongs in my life in time
you guard me under the shadow of your wing
I am your child, whom you love and are well pleased
Even those in the unseen darkness
can see the light from you shining in me

You are with me my God, my dad
you will set all the wrongs in my life right,
in you I shall rejoice and be glad
For I have no power, nor strength measurable by man,
but God is my dad, he is real
He is my God
if you mess with me,
you are messing with my God,
because he stands before me
as my shield and defender,
so I don't have to fight back,
he brings me justice in time.

I forgive you
by: Lowanla (me)

I forgive you for everything

this does not make any of it right..

however,

the mercy that God has shown me

shows me the mercy I should also share

I will not hold a grudge against you

I will not curse you

Instead I bless you, I speak life into yours,

that everything you set your hand to will be blessed

and that you will prosper above all those around you

so that you too will know the mercy and love

of God

I release you into his grace and mercy and

I move forward with my own life.

You know who you are,

as do those who also know

God will touch your life in such a way

that you will know his love and mercy,

and grace all on your own.

For My Guy..
by: me

What makes you happy,
what gives you peace,
what gives you hope,
is where you belong

it doesn't matter if you started out
at the pit of hell and thats all you know

I know there is a part of you that wants Jesus
you want to be accepted by him,

its not about how great your sin is,
its not about what numbers, nor anything
physical that you may have said or done..

its about what is in your heart

its about -- what you really want.

Its about a secret decision you have chosen,
in your heart, in secret.

You know you don't belong in the dark alone,
you don't want to be there anymore.
You just want to be accepted.

I could only hear this in your words..
it repeats over and over daily to me,
by the Holy Spirit

and you say this...

"I want to know if God will still receive me.."

and I am going to tell you the answer,
the answer is yes,

because there is a part of you
that truly believes in Jesus,
that almost screams out from you,
and that is not from me,
that is coming from your own heart.
Your connection between you and God
will always be Jesus,

You will not be separated as long as you
hold onto Jesus.

There is a part of you, that refuses
to let that go.. because you
know there is hope.

Its not about the sin, nor being perfect,
its about the daily choice to choose Christ
in all our decisions and allowing him to
renew our minds as believers.

Its about the hope that he will return again,

and that you will never alone.

 

[Wolf]

Who told you I wasn't happy?
Who told you I was stuck in a prison,
who told you I never was free
If I may be in a prison
It is God who exalts me to a place
where I am no longer in one.

I am happy, and I am free,

as long as I know I am not alone.
as long as I know Jesus is with me,
I don't need the physical proof
the proof is in my faith and belief.
even though I don't need the proof,
he loves me and proves himself anyway.

-me

[Wolf]

Does anybody else struggle with the idea of these lyrics,
I know and I believe in Jesus that he is real and what he did was real,
however, Jesus has never held me with his hands, nothing personal nor lovey dovey
I've had miracles happen to me from God, I guess to me God was the "Big Picture" type
who never got intimate, only this "protection" on my head that keeps me safe.

This is a really comforting song though, I can relate to it,
Its just hard to see myself intimately in love this way with Christ,
I guess that's what it means to have a real relationship with Christ.
I'm learning...
I like this song, I get convicted by it, because I usually look everywhere else for love, and
attention, and I forget about Jesus, then I realize he's saying he wants me to look at him first.
It makes me feel loved.

By Your Side

By Your Side - Tenth Avenue North - YouTube

Why are you striving these days?
Why are you trying to earn grace?
Why are you crying?
Let me lift up your face,
just don't turn away..

Why are you looking for love?
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough?
To where will you go child?
Tell me where will you run, to where will you run?

'Cos I'll be by your side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Look at these hands at my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in and give you life
I wanna give you life

And I'll be by your side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Here at my side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

'Cause I, I love you, I want you to know
That I, yeah I love you, I'll never let you go
No, no

And I'll be by your side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Here at my side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Here at my side
My hands are holding you

I feel like I need to rant...really bad. O_O lol

Ha...I'm not cool with it at all
by: Lowanla (me)

A message to everyone
that has ever taken advantage of
this "nice" meek person in her entire lifetime...

Yes I am a Christian,
I grew up as a Christian...

but that doesn't give people
the right to take advantage of me
Yes I'll give you a ride once and awhile
to work, or to the store even
but sometimes you gotta chip in for gas,
don't call me your friend if
you are just going to use me..

No I am not cool with being
a secret lover degrading and lowering my
integrity that I barely have,
Its not okay!

I'm not a taxi, I am not your mother,
I am not your ball and chain, I am not
your personal servant,
I did not get a job so I could waste the
money I was saving and earning for what
I wanted to save it for.
My house is not a storage bin for your personal
crap and items that are meant for your bible study..

None of that is okay...

I will be happy to help with some of these things
if they give me some integrity,

but I do give to the poor, I do tithe, and give offerings,
I have given more than myself a lot of the time,
it was taken from me, intrusively..
so do not make me feel guilty

because I am learning how to fight for myself,

If you want to be a part of my life
then be a part of my life

but don't push yourself on me,
any of you, cause I'll push you away or push
you out of the way

...I'm just not cool with being
a push-over anymore..

-end rant-

​

 

[Wolf]

mmkay, lol yeah that was a pretty sad and sorry rant, hehe...its laugh-able.
I feel like Ted sometimes, on Scrubs. Xp

 

[Wolf]

Sorry for that previous rant, I'm sure you are all getting sick of it,
I just had to, its an issue I've always wondered about,
i think its an important one, just because I've always
wondered about the limitations, of when its okay to say "no"
and be okay with it.

Oh well, I think I just wanted to rant,

rant rant rant..ranty, rant rant.. O_O
