NO.SHALLOW.LOVE

God has bound himself to me
Despite my prostitution and harlotry
Like an anchor He has attached Himself to my heart


He plans to pull me in.
Deep.


I relent.. because He is relentless
I give in.. because He gives all
I collapse.. because His love is too colossal to withstand


He plans to pull me in.
Deep.


He will not settle for less of me
Nothing but the best He demands for me
And He KNOWS He is the best thing on the market


He plans to pull me in.
Deep.


This love is fatal. This love is grave.
Pun intended. He was buried for my sake.
This love has overrun anything put in it’s way


He plans to pull me in.
Deep.


He will have no shallow love.

The Tide Is Coming!

Journal Entry 5/22/08
.. some of it at least, wanted to put a pic to it
(Influenced by CD of the week: Misty Edwards)

Don't want to build castles in the sand
When I've seen the work of others get swept up in the tide
Why make carvings in the sand
When obviously I see them disappear with each demanding wave
Why spend a lifetime on something the tide will wash away?
Why live for something that death will take away

Wake up O Sleepers
Open your eyes and look around!
See the traces of men gone... now nothing but withering sand mounts

Wade Out!
Go into the deep!
See how it comes for you anyway
Picks up men willingly or unwillingly
YES, the truth comes in to stir all things, & see what remains...

Wade Out!
Let's go into the Deep, the Truth
And search out it's depths
To find the treasures..
Buried.. waiting to be discovered
Sunken... waiting to be sought out..
Truth

Why live on the edge, in fragile sand
Excited that you are leaving a "mark" ...temporary footprint
I assure you, many have walked this very path you're on
Leaving 'deep' footprints, but alas, they disappeared along with their souls

The tide is coming
Yes, we've seen the waves, just HINTS of the tide's existence
But NO, I didn't say waves...
I said THE TIDE is coming

Coming to stir anything that can be stirred
Coming to erase anything foolishly stored in the sand of time's hourglass
Coming to sweep away anything not anchored on the Rock
Coming to destroy anything built with man's hands

The tide is coming
Bringing with it a monsoon
To end all foolish empires and "wisdom of man"
Yes, He will confound all intelligence
And nothing else will matter.. EXCEPT what is left standing
Only what was built on rock will remain

Why carve a masterpiece that the tide will only wash away?
Why spend a life for something that death can take away?

The Tide is Coming...

Mixtape Release!!!!: CROSS+EYED

(lol, just kidding... Just posting one of my raps for my girl Gayon who hasn't heard me perform it yet.. but keeps hearing ppl talk about it..... sowwy :-)


"You got me cross-eyed
Living with my eyes WIDE open

No more 'American Dream'
& tryna live life by the way things 'seem'
From the way things seem
I'm straight up being deceived
The god of this age tryna puppeteer me

Nope!
Time to wake up!
Got my radars going up!
Got the scales coming down...

We wrestle not against flesh and blood
But with forces in high places up above

Got my armor on
Strapped up, girded loins
Ready to take on the fight
Gasping hard towards the prize

And it's best you get outta my way
Cuz I'm kinda far-sighted so my eyes don't stray
Yeah they may look strange
Yeah they may look glazed
I got a tunnel-vision focused on that glorious Day

I'm throwing off every weight
that tries to hinder my gaze
Dying to this world cuz the cross is my gain
The cross is my truth & the cross is my way
The cross is my boast & the cross is my shame
The cross is my burden & the cross is my blaze!

I STAND AMAZED!
YO! You got me cross-eyed!
(Heb 12:2)
