Lovesong Poetry

This is how evil I am, this is how evil everyone is
there is no one righteous without him
by: Lowanla (me)

Romans 3:10-20

As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
there is no one who understands,
no one who seeks God.
All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”
“Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.”
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”
“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
ruin and misery mark their ways,
and the way of peace they do not know.”
“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Now we know that whatever the law says,
it says to those who are under the law,
so that every mouth may be silenced
and the whole world held accountable to God.
Therefore no one will be declared righteous
in his sight by observing the law; rather,
through the law we become conscious of sin.

Hope
by: Lowanla (me)
Romans 3:21-26

But now a righteousness from God, apart from law,
has been made known,
to which the Law and the Prophets testify.

This righteousness from God comes through faith
in Jesus Christ to all who believe.
There is no difference,

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption
that came by Christ Jesus.

God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement,
through faith in his blood.

He did this to demonstrate his justice,
because in his forbearance he had left the sins
committed beforehand unpunished—
he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time,
so as to be just and the one who
justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

Pain
By: Lowanla (me)

My heart is tearing spilling out
It's aches constantly in waiting
It sinks daily as fear and doubt
Become the anchors dragging
It down into the sea of loneliness

God my father give me strength to
Get through another day
Sometimes I don't think
That I can make it

Suspicions and mistrust
Hate the man I love
They tug and spit upon
My wearing patience

Yet you O God tell me
a better word a promise
Worth waiting for
and my spirited is lifted

I'm in love with a promise
Expecting and waiting
My heart is tearing
Spilling out

​

Afraid
by: Lowanla (me)

Although I may seem to hold myself well
the truth is, I am afraid of the things I don't yet see
I'm afraid
because you make me believe that you
have all these plans you want to do with me
and I make it look like I'm convincing you
that its all going to happen,
but I'm really trying to convince me
I'm afraid..
because when they happen like you say
I don't know how ready I'll be
but I believe you when you tell me,
the truth is, I think you have more faith than me,
I don't mean to push you if you aren't ready for anything
I can wait longer for you, its not like I'm dying,
just more or less impatient,
it helps my patience...I guess.

I believe you, when you promise me,
don't mind my cries, and such.

I believe you when you say you want to be with me,

I'm not strong, I'm a hypocrite
I can't even say no
back to anyone If I'm being bullied
and I'm always being bullied by everyone.

I don't want you to be hurt because of me being a coward,
I really want to be at the place,
I can be strong for you.
Where if someone puts you down, I can fight for you.

So I can wait longer, I'm sorry for pushing you
to move faster, take your time.

Everything I Need
Lyrics by: Kutless

When every step is so hard to take
And all of my hope is fading away
When life is a mountain that I can not climb
You carry me, Jesus carry me.

You Are strength in my weakness
You are the refuge I seek
You are everything in my time of need
You are everything, You are everything I need

When every moment is more than I can take
And all of my strength is slipping away
When every breath gets harder me
You carry me, Jesus carry me

You Are strength in my weakness
You are the refuge I seek
You are everything in my time of need
You are everything, You are everything I need

I need You
You are everything I need
I love everything about You

You Are strength in my weakness
You are the refuge I seek
You are everything in my time of need
You are everything, You are everything I need

​

Your Hands
lyrics by: JJ Heller

I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn't there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That you would take my pain away
You would take my pain away

I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crooked lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine

When my world is shaking, heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave your hands

When you walked upon the earth
You healed the broken, lost and hurt
I know you hate to see me cry
One day you will set all things right
Yeah, one day you will set all things right

When my world is shaking, heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave your hands

Your hands that shaped the world
Are holding me
They hold me still

​

Psalm 23
A psalm of David.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

At a wedding, people sitting talking in a church building. my church, decorated
beautifully inside. If I ever ask for anything, it would be just to have that,
its important to me. Everyone is there, our families, friends.
You are standing at the front next to my pastors.
Suddenly the lights dim and this song plays "Walk by faith"
When the song plays flower girls walk out first tossing flowers to the song,
the rest come out after

"would I believe you when you would say
Your hand will guide my every way
Will I receive the words You say
Every moment of every day"

[chorus]
Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me

Help me to win my endless fears
You've been so faithful for all my years
With one breath You make me new
Your grace covers all I do

yeah, yeah , yeah, yeah, yeah, ya

[chorus]

Well I'm broken- but I still see Your face
Well You've spoken- pouring Your words of grace

(Everyone rises bride comes out and stops)

Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me

(bride walks on the second chorus)

Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me

Well hallelujah, hallelu
(I will walk by faith)
Well hallelujah, hallelu
(I will walk by faith)

I will walk, I will walk, I will walk by faith
I will, I will, I will walk by faith

(stops next to you and you are smiling)
​

The world has its end and sets up its people with fateful futures that are certain
and often, hopeless..
but that's why Christ came, so that we didn't have to have to live a certain fate,
he came so that we could change that, from a certain fate, to a hopeful future,
this applies to anyone and everyone willing to believe in him.

Christ Jesus is our hope.

The Words I Would Say
Lyrics by: Sidewalk Prophets

Three in the morning,
And I'm still awake,
So I picked up a pen and a page,
And I started writing,
Just what I'd say,
If we were face to face,
I'd tell you just what you mean to me,
I'd tell you these simple truths,

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know, <3
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
These are the words I would say,

Last time we spoke,
You said you were hurting,
And I felt your pain in my heart,
I want to tell you,
That I keep on praying,
Love will find you where you are,
I know cause I've already been there,
So please hear these simple truths,

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
These are the words I would say,

From one simple life to another,
I will say,
Come find peace in the Father,

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
Thank God for each day,
His love will find a way,
These are the words I would say

My Relationship with God
by: Lowanla (me)

I said something that hurt My father Gods feelings
that seemed rather disrespectful to his word on another site,
and he pointed it out to me as he usually does in
his own ways that he knows I am going to listen,
and I got convicted. I felt like I got scolded or yelled at,
even though it was said in the most gentle way.

I realized that I made him feel bad, so I apologized.

I guess that I am grateful that I have that kind of relationship
with God my father. As a loving father disciplining their child would.
I see it this way:

I was getting cold and callous to God's word, and where
I was over stepping what I already knew was wrong.

But God has always given me advice, a word, or an answer to prayer
every time I asked. I'm glad that he cares enough to tell me
when I am wrong so that I do not fall away from him.

(note: this is just about my own personal walk with Jesus Christ,
not pointing any fingers at anyone but my own self, and my own personal walk,
this is how real God is to me.)

Ready, waiting
by: Lowanla (me)

I'm ready to put my hands in yours
to walk down the aisle of forever
determined my eyes bound forward
my goal is the other side to my heart
that is my dearest darling you.

I'm waiting for the sunrise in the
loneliest dark of night
when you give me some sort of sign,
or even a small letter,
to say you are ready to put your hands
in mine,
I don't know if you are ready
cause I'm still waiting for something,
but I'd rather wait than rush
something barely growing and watch
it wither to nothing
I know the day you are ready
it will just be you and me
and I desire for it to last the longest time

I want to experience everything
life especially with you
to even hear the click of a button
over cotton, or hear laughter
or a sigh

I'm ready for such things
they are worth waiting for
all the pain for me now
is nothing
when you are holding me
it all becomes..
joy



​

The word God gave me yesterday,

Walk straight forward, don't look to the right nor the left
keep going on this path and everything will
happen you will see what you were waiting for,
what i promised you

I don't know how God's going to do this, but
I trust him...he will make a way for me. Nothing is
impossible for my father.

God Will Make A Way
lyrics by: Don Moen

God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength
For each new day
He will make a way
He will make a way

By a roadway in the wilderness
You lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and earth will fade
But His Word will still remain
He will do something new today

​

I don't need you to prove you love me
I don't need your feelings
I believe you already when you said
that you loved me
you are just making the hurt worse
if you trust me if you really
don't want me to feel bad
then stop it
because I can handle myself and
I will wait for you
the feelings don't help me.
they just make me think about things
and I'd rather not be lost in thought
things will happen on their own
If you really love me
you will trust me when I say let go
and let me walk by my own faith
because I am waiting for you
anyway.
the feelings don't help
they just make the longing hurt worse.
​

My guy:

I'm sorry if I made you feel bad with what I said,
I know that you are still learning and this
is all new to you. It all got to be too much
and i got frustrated. Everything will be okay.

​

A song of hope and comfort for your peace of mind for today..
Jesus is with you.

"There Will Be A Day"
Lyrics by: Jeremy Camp
http://youtu.be/Gtud5pvF08A

I try to hold on to this world with everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings, and the hurt that tries to grab
The many trials that seem to never end, His word declares this truth,
that we will enter in this rest with wonders anew

But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering

[Chorus]
There will be a day with no more tears,
no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place,
will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we'll hold on to you always

I know the journey seems so long
You feel you're walking on your own
But there has never been a step
Where you've walked out all alone

[Chorus]

Troubled soul don't lose your heart
Cause joy and peace he brings
And the beauty that's in store
Outweighs the hurt of life's sting

I can't wait until that day where the very one
I've lived for always will wipe away the sorrow that I've faced
To touch the scars that rescued me from a life of
shame and misery this is why this is why I sing
