Life

Life is the roller coaster which we ride,
As the car speeds up, we begin to scream,
The only hope think we have is hide,
When we open our eyes, hope is a dream.

We look up from this hole and see blue sky,
The only way to get help is to shout,
However, no matter how much we try,
We will never succeed at getting out.

The dark night turns into a deep orange dawn,
Finally, the heat of the rising sun,
For a moment, we all thought hope was gone,
The final, dying wish for us: to run.

When we tire, we let out one last breath,
We can run no longer, we live in death.

What Others Say Isn't True

You say you've felt pain all throughout your years,
A pain worse than a cut or broken nose,
Too many times I've seen you shed some tears,
It's the cruel words on which you've overdosed.

They say you're ugly, they say that you're dumb,
Their painful words have broken your sweet soul,
When I call your name, I wish that you'd come,
I want to say some words to make you whole.

You're more than pretty, you are so gorgeous,
The mean words which they've said, they are not true,
That freak they made you feel, that is a "was,"
I want to help unveil the new, true you.

The words you've heard, they were too great a crime,
I see you for who you are, you are fine.

What is it, to Be Christian?

Hundreds of years ago, the church was strong,
Throughout the Roman Empire, Jews prayed,
Because of persecution, days seemed long,
Because of their religion, they were slain.

These days we are not faced with that danger,
Though we’re His children, His Word we don't share,
He is our LORD, our mighty life-changer,
One might even think we don't really care.

One day I envision a world of God,
"To live’s in Christ, to die is gain," said Paul,
One day, we won’t be standing on this sod,
We'll be in heaven; hear His booming call.

He's the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost,
He's the one in which I would like to boast.

Music

What is the one thing that links all of us?
That link some call magic is called music,
Some listen with an iPod on the bus,
Some play it on a guitar with a pick.

Some of us use it to show how we feel,
Feeling madder, gladder, what's life to me?
We could put all our feelings in a reel,
Or we could burn our life on a CD.

Life moves on and who knows what it will show,
The weaker of us step just out of range,
The stronger of us let life freely flow,
We all know that the music’s sound will change.

And not unless our life-filled bodies drop,
Will our life’s music fin’lly slow and stop.

The LORD is Powerful

He is the one who made the whole world start,
This world held in the palm of His great hand,
He put together each and every part,
From nothing, He made water and the land.

He’s everywhere in this exact moment,
It is His face which I would like to see,
In the end He waits for us to repent,
Only with Him is where I want to be.

He sends us His one and only son,
Whose skin upon the cross is then sliced,
But triumphs over the grave, He has won,
Who is this perfect man? His name is Christ.

When said, His Word is stronger than the sword,
Who is the one I praise? He is the LORD!

Best Friends

I have a friend whom I love like a bro,
That friend who’s always there when times are sad,
He pushes me not to stop, but to go,
Even when I feel down, he makes me glad.

There is this girl I love like a sister,
At the end of this year she goes away,
You can surely bet that I will miss her,
No matter what I do she will not stay.

The two of them are going to college,
And though I know there is a reason why,
They’re going off to advance their knowledge,
There is no doubt at some point I will cry.

And I stand outside on the damp green lawn,
I will wave until I see that they’re gone.
