Lovesong Poetry

East to West
Lyrics by: Casting Crowns

Here I am, Lord,
and I'm drowning in your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest

I don't want to end up where You found me
And it echoes in my mind,
keeps me awake tonight

I know You've cast my sin as far
as the east is from the west
And I stand before You now
as though I've never sinned
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
from You leaving me this way

Jesus,
can You show me
just how far the
east is from the west?

'cause I can't bear to see the man I've been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other

I start the day, the war begins, endless reminding of my sin
Time and time again Your truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way

I know You've washed me white, turned my darkness into light
I need Your peace to get me through, to get me through this night
I can't live by what I feel, but by the truth Your word reveals
I'm not holding on to You, but You're holding on to me
You're holding on to me

Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
I don't have to see the man I've been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
One scarred hand to the other
From one scarred hand to the other

Mark 4:37 AMP

And a furious storm of wind
[of hurricane proportions] arose,
and the waves kept beating into the boat,
so that it was already becoming filled.
38 But He [Himself] was in the stern [of the boat],
asleep on the [leather] cushion;
and they awoke Him and said to Him,
Master, do You not care that we are perishing?

39 And He arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea,
Hush now! Be still (muzzled)!
And the wind ceased
(sank to rest as if exhausted by its beating)
and there was [immediately]
a great calm (a perfect peacefulness).


Peace be Still!
by: Lowanla (me)

Peace be still
the storms will always be around
so seek the Lord while he may be found

Have faith! Call upon Jesus
do not take your faith off of him
he will save you
He is the great I AM
he has already overcome this world

The elements obey him,
the winds, the rain,
the lighting and the flames
the angels and demons,
he has overcome everything

Jesus is Lord!

Turn your eyes upon the savior
for I am not your savior
Cling to Christ and he will bring you through
the Valley of the shadow of death
He Will Save You

He will lead you to streams that
cool your soul and quench fiery dark flame
till they are no more
and you are fully restored

Peace be still
you will make it through
For the Lord Your God
will pull you through

Set your eyes, turn your heart
upon Jesus,
he has a plan of good for you

Peace be still

Lonely for you

By: lowanla
Lonely for your smile
For things People
Take for granted
Lonely for you
Don't get me wrong
I appreciate your
Love for me
Everyday
I thank God for you
but still
I feel lonely for you
I'm sorry
I am complaining again
I'm with you
Yet still all the more
Lonely for you


​

Do you want to know why
I am such a peaceful person?
because I cast my cares on God
and if bad things happen
that try to ruin my day
Those things become Gods business
not mine anymore.

I trust God will make things better
and he is, things are getting better
day by day

without God I would be worse off
so instead of feeling sorry for myself
I praise him

for all the good he brings my way.
he's going to add 100 more good things
anyway. <3

I love you I do
by: Lowanla (me)

You are worth every tear
fighting against all my fears
you are a person to me
A man of strength, courage and dignity
you are somebody to me

You remind me that I need love too
you bring out the human in me
you remind me that I am weak
but its because of you that
I sought out Jesus Christ
and realized I needed salvation
can you believe you led me back to
Christ
is that not redeeming?

I love you, you still make me happy,
I need you in my life
I need to be at your side
I need your arm around me
I feel your hurt when you aren't around
even when you make not a sound

everything will be okay
when we stumble we get back up again
you made me smile all day today
when I get a little attention from you
I'm alive all over again
when I get a little love from you
but that's because that's how much
I love you
I do
hold me again
my beloved,
dream come true
​

Drinking the Blood
by: Lowanla (me)

There is blood and its everywhere but you cannot see
dripping down a wooden cross trickling through splinters
and there is flesh on the ground mixed with bread
what does it all mean, did you really die for me?

Your blood covers everything
From the dust of the earth
to the flames of Hell
to the Heaven's there is no
place Jesus has not been
proclaim the blood of Christ
believing is drinking
believing is drinking
the blood

Jesus you said drink my blood and eat my flesh
what you meant was believe in my blood and that you are I AM
For when we recieve with our hearts
amd believe it is our spirit that is eating
and we live, we move and have our being

Your blood covers everything
From the dust of the earth
to the flames of Hell
to the Heaven's there is no
place Jesus has not been
proclaim the blood of Christ
believing is drinking
believing is drinking
the blood

There is a place a secret sanctuary I go
to find peace, a home away from home
Just to be near your presence Oh God
because I feel you drawing me daily
I desire revelations of your love for me
sometimes the lies of the flames are too much
and condemnation chains me to look down
I cry out Mercy Lord, with a humble heart
and you remind me again

Your blood covers everything
From the dust of the earth
to the flames of Hell
to the Heaven's there is no
place Jesus has not been
proclaim the blood of Christ
believing is drinking
believing is drinking
the blood

O God it is your compassion
that lifts up my head to look into your eyes
and you see right through my skin
into my heart so full of the blackest sin
and you lead me to still waters and righteousness
to extinguish the flames to a place
where I can rest my head
A place where I know peace again

Your blood covers everything
From the dust of the earth
to the flames of Hell
to the Heaven's there is no
place Jesus has not been
proclaim the blood of Christ
believing is drinking
believing is drinking
the blood

Yes Your blood covers everything
and i believe in the power of your blood
believing is drinking
believing is drinking
your blood

To Get to that place
by: Lowanla (me)

Would it be wonderful to get
to that place.
I want to get to that place someday.
To be able close my eyes and then
open them and see you standing
next to me.

where no one decides who you love,
but your own heart.
just two people who no matter where
they go they work as one.

I would like to get to that place
for selfish reasons
because I only want you to be around me
always. I like you, I love you.
I want to wait for you.

I don't write very well but
I do it in hopes that it might make you smile.
I know I don't make you smile all the time.

I want to get to that place
where you are able to stand in the same room with me
that place where you don't feel condemned
that place you don't feel lower than me
where you are comfortable,

so I wait
For that day
you believe me when I say,
I want every part of you happy,
for as long as I live.
I want you to feel good about who you are.
because Its in my heart that who i love
will be with me to enjoy years and years,
and years.
I don't want temporary.

You are not worth temporary,
you are worth a lifetime of me,
and I want to share that with you.

I want to get to that place
..someday.
​

How did something so simple turn so difficult
and why do we have to turn it into
a spectacle of sides verses sides
I know there is no strings, there is no true
controlling, there is no battle to be won,
there is just two people
plain and simple.

you come to me because you love me
and I receive your heart
because I love you I fall for you every time
there is no other reason you want to be
with me but just to be with me.
I feel the same thing.
The truth is I just want to be with you
entirely, even if its not the way I dreamed
I would run with you anywhere
just to get away.
​

Psalm 46:1-2 King James Version

46 God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore will not we fear,
though the earth be removed,
and though the mountains be carried
into the midst of the sea;

Jesus Messiah
Lyrics by: Chris Tomlin

He became sin
Who knew no sin
That we might become His righteousness
He humbled Himself and carried the cross

Love so amazing
Love so amazing

Jesus Messiah, name above all names
Blessed Redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners
The ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all

His body, the bread
His blood, the wine
Broken and poured out all for love
The whole earth tremble and the veil was torn

Love so amazing
Love so amazing, yeah

Jesus Messiah, name above all names
Blessed Redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners
The ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all

All our hope is in You
All our hope is in You
All the glory to You, God
The light of the world

Jesus Messiah, name above all names
Blessed Redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners
The ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all

Jesus Messiah, Lord of all
The Lord of all
The Lord of all

Mediator
by: lowanla (me)

Imagine a place that is beautiful and pure with Holiness
that no darkness can penetrate
any sort of darkness that would try to
enter the presence of God would be destroyed
or burned away in some cases,
because God is pure love and light and
all things good.

God created the planet Earth for his most beloved creation
the creation made in his very own image
his closest creation, man. (Man/Woman)
He gave man dominion and ruler ship over it

When man first sinned he lost all his rights
and handed his inheritance of the Earth to Satan
which is why Satan is the god of this world currently
and he has dominion and power over it.

The human race had to make sacrifices to atone
for the impurity of the dark sin that covered them
that had separated them from God

Not wanting to lose man forever he made a way

Jesus Christ

By Becoming the ultimate blood sacrifice
Jesus took back the keys of Hell and the grave,
he took back dominion and the rights Satan had,
Satan has no more.

So Jesus has become our mediator
between us and God
He is what will get us to Heaven
not what we do, but our belief and faith in him.

So remember that when you say the name of Jesus

because that name has power over Satan and the demons,
That name has power to heal, that name has power to save,
That name has the keys to freedom.

But when you say it, remember
believe with all your heart in the person behind the name
and what he did for you,

Jesus

Every knee will bow every tongue confess, Jesus is Lord,

When you pray it helps to come to God in Jesus name

"Lord God I come to you in Jesus name... and so on, with prayer"

this is because the name of Jesus makes prayer more effective.

You have Hope as long as Jesus is Alive!
and Jesus is alive baby!

Colossians 2:13-16
New International Version (NIV)
13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you[a] alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.​

Jesus Is Alive
lyrics by: Josh Wilson

....
Sin you have no sting.
Hell you have no power.
Curse you are no more.
This is your final hour.
Because the son of God
Has not left us alone.
He'll live and die and rise again,
and then he'll bring us home.
The old will pass away
And we will become new.
This baby boy is making all sad things untrue.

Noel, Noel, Jesus is Alive
Emmanuel hope is here tonight
So go and tell the world that death has died
Cause Jesus is alive, yeah Jesus is alive
Yeah Jesus is Alive

Jesus Is Alive
