Amazing Saving Grace

Image
 For all the days of my life Throughout the seasons of time I will sing of the wonders of your name I will sing praise and worship you For your amazing saving grace   You never left me on my own Even in the darkest of nights In the toughest of times You remained with me How great your amazing saving grace   You helped rescue this tainted heart You picked up the broken pieces And made in me a new heart A washed and untainted heart Your amazing saving grace revealed   You saved me from the pursuit of the devourer In a time of war, you won the battle  I will sing of your victorious and saving deeds For in my weakness you were strong And now I walk in your amazing saving grace   I stand before you now A man filled with power and love I lift my hands to worship you I bow in adoration of your name Thanking you for your amazing saving grace  

TAINTED HEART

 I come before you as I am Not as I think you’d want me A broken and 1000-fragmented heart Engulfed, drowning in a sea of darkness Could you receive such a tainted heart?   Kneeling before your holy presence I present to you this wretched heart Unworthy to stand before you Praying for your amazing grace To save this tainted heart of mine   The voices in my head screamed louder Telling me I am not or never will be enough The doubts ringing at every corner in my life The questions linger in my head daily Filling this tainted heart with darkness   The enemy is in hot pursuit of me I flee but my feet are not fast enough I fight but I lost the battle before it began Frail, I am not strong enough to do this They win over this tainted heart of mine   Completely petrified and frozen Beat down, scarred and broken Laying on the spattered ground I lift my hands up and cry to you Please help save this tainted heart

…MEANING OF LIFE?

Throughout history and across time, there have existed many great men and women: kings and queens; scholars; philosophers, poets, wise men, and none wiser than the great king Solomon. Solomon is regarded as the wisest King to have lived since time immemorial. He had vast wealth, a great kingdom, and many wives and concubines as well as his wisdom. Ironically this great man wrote the book of Ecclesiastes which details and emphasizes the VANITY OF LIFE. This brings us to the question of what the MEANING OF LIFE is. Depending on what perspective you look at it, life can (from one point of view) seem to be quite monotonous. The life of an “Average” individual seems to be a repetitive and mundane cycle that repeats itself across generations and millennia to come. Essentially life begins at conception and thereafter birth. From this moment on, the never-ending pursuit that is called life begins. At a tender age (say perhaps 3 or 4) begins the pursuit of knowledge. After completion of stu...

THE BROKEN SNOW GLOBE

In the dead cold night, deep in the Savannah, one could hear the rustling of the trees. From the far distance, a howling of a hyena is heard, indicating it is nearing its God-forsaken life. Vultures move around in their circular movement in deep anticipation of their long-awaited feast. Such is the law of the jungle, perhaps – to prey on the weak and attack at their most vulnerable. Mikaela lay in her bed and was utterly distraught. On the floor lay the shattered pieces of her snow globe. It had been an accident, and it happened so fast. One minute she held the precious object with her hands shaking it in awe as the snow fell to the surface, and the next, it was shattered. "It's about time you did some growing up!" exclaimed her aunt when she found her crying. She had no idea the significance the snow globe held for her. It was a reminder of a life she once knew that now eluded her. A time of complete bliss surrounded by love and compassion. It was the last gift she...
