Think on His mercy

Think on His mercy
Think on His grace 
May you ever seek
Jesus Christ's face 
You know how he loves you
Even while you were in sin
He died upon Calvary
So you could go in

To His Kingdom
Oh think how much more
You will now be saved 
As his full mercy does pour
Daily upon 
You his dear one
Oh praise the name of Jesus
Gods Only Son

Please dwell on his mercy
Not on your sin
Your ransomed redeemed
By His blood you did win
Rejoice rejoice
Ever always 
Just stay in His grace 
All of your days 

What is life

What is life
A cup of tea
A days work
Weekends free
Eight hours sleep
A vacation
Not so true
In every nation

Wars famines
Floods earthquakes 
Sleepless nights
Love forsakes
Hopes fallen
Terrors invade
People abandoned
None come to their aid

Oh life
What are you for
Come Christ
On us all pour
Hope and mercy
From above 
And with you God 
To fall in love

Confession

Come to me 
And confess
Let me love you
And you bless
My breath resides
In my Holy Bride
Oh come to confession
Your sins don't hide 

Only in me
Can you be forgiven
And in my Body
I am fully living
I speak with authority
In my Bride
Oh come to confession
And do not hide

I love to see
Your beautiful face 
Tell me your sins
As I pour out my grace 
Only in
My Holy Bride
Can you find absolute truth 
In her ways abide 

Mental pain

I could sit in a tattoo parlour 
Every single day
And let them pierce my body
In every single way
Rather than endure
One hour of depression
Oh what is worse than it
That's my painful confession

Anxiety 
Indeed is worse
It unites with depression
Like a deadly curse
To escape it
Anything I would do
May God rescue from it
Me and always you 

Yet never forget 
To offer up this pain
For the souls in purgatory
Let it be their gain
Let nothing be wasted
In all our trials
God has ordained them
To bring to others smiles

All my sin

All my sin is heavy
Its weight overbearing 
Despair creeps in
Into darkness I am staring
Hope fades fast
Joy flees away
Will God answer
My King Yahweh 

Is sin greater
Than the Holy Blood
Does grace not cover you
Like a mighty flood
Is not Christ waiting
In the confession box
To ever always free
As your enemies he ever mocks

Turn always
To your King
No matter the misery
Sin will bring
Hope when 
All hope is gone
And mercy will greet you
Every dawn

Tuesday 29 October 2013

Pray

Pray
Every single day
Pray
When joy flys away
Pray
When you awake
Pray
When your body aches

Trust
In the thick black night
Trust
When nothing turns out right
Trust
When God is silent
Trust
When men are violent

Hope
When hope fades
Hope
When satan raids
Hope
When depression descends
Hope
When health ends

Love
All of the time
Love
The perfect rhyme
Love
Shall ever reign
Love
Endures every pain

Thank you

Thank you for my cooker
Though it takes a while
To begin to heat up 
It's presence makes me smile
Thank you for my fridge
Though it's frosty and old
I love that it still keeps
My milk nice and cold 

Thank you for my washing machine
Though it's button is broke
It still washes all my clothes
Though I have to poke and poke 
Thank you for my home
It shelters me from the storms
Keeping me warm and dry
Where I can relax and write all my poems

Thank you for my Kettle
That makes a great wee cup of tea
Oh thank you loving God
All these things you give to me
Thank you thank you thank you
For these wonderful things you give 
Imagine they weren't there
Imagine how you would live 

God conquers

God is more real 
Than your breath
Wherever God enters
He annihilates death
Oh death
Where is thy sting
Oh grave you will ways
Bow before our King 

God conquers 
All our enemies
From hell and death
In one moment He frees
Lift up your voice
And unto Him sing
All of your offerings
To Him alone bring 

Weep hells gates
Let all your tears
Fall on your flames
Tormenting your ears
At the sound
Of the Conquering King 
Annihilating your reign
As his people sing 

Rejoice rejoice 
Gods people rejoice
Now is the time
To raise your voice
As Satan makes
His final attack
His time is short
Rejoice you elect

Gazing up

What was it like
Gazing up 
Watching your Son
Drink our cup
What was it like 
The pain he endured
Upon your soul
So gracious and pure 

Oh Mary 
How did you stand
Did an Angel
Take your hand
As you beheld your Son
Wither in pain
For a losts world
Hope and gain

Blessed Mother 
Who bore such sorrows
Piercing your soul 
The fiery arrows
My dear Mother
Who understands
Come and take
Your children's hand 

Where is our focus

Is life always suffering
Or is there joy too
Where is our focus
And what is really true
Are you thankful for
The many things given
That help you carry on
In your daily living

What about 
A cup of tea
Daily food
Or a hot coffee
What about 
A friendly call
A caring smile
A lift up when you fall

What about 
The Rosary 
Adoration 
Blessings so free
What about 
Daily Communion
Faithful priests
Our Holy union 

What about 
A hug and kiss
Calvarys cross
None should miss
Oh faith hope
And love displayed
All our burdens
On God laid

Never suffer alone

Never suffer alone 
Call upon others
Show your wounds to 
Your sisters and brothers
Let them draw close
And lift you up in prayer
Never suffer alone
For many people care

Never suffer alone
I will keep on saying 
Let your pain be felt
On others who are praying
For your painful trial
We walk the path together
Carrying each-others burdens
In every type of weather 

Never suffer alone
For we are all one
If one member suffers
All suffer in the Son
So send a simple message
Or pick up the phone
And remember most of all
Never suffer alone

Keep the faith

No matter what comes
Keep the faith 
Though the oceans rise
Keep the faith 
Though the nations fall
Keep the faith
Though death calls
Keep the faith 
Though suffering abides
Keep the faith 
Though hate reigns 
Keep the faith 
Though the economy collapses
Keep the faith 
Though intellectuals mock
Keep the faith 
No matter what 
Keep the faith 
Keep the Holy 
Catholic Faith

Maranatha

Oh holy faith 
You keep me sane
I offer to Christ
All my pain 
Without your truth
I would be dead
But you feed my soul
With hope instead 

Light up the world
Holy Catholic bride
In your glorious raiment 
May you the nations guide
A world torn apart
By mans foolish wisdom
Oh reign victorious 
Maranatha Jesus come 

The Divine mercy chaplet

Help me keep the faith 
No matter how much I stumble 
No matter how hard I fall
Keep me meek and humble
Totally surrendered
To my suffering King
Even in the darkness
Let me lift my voice and sing 

Eternal Father I offer you
The Body and Blood 
Though the deadly pain comes 
And the stormy trials flood
Soul and divinity 
Of your dearly beloved Son
In the miry clay
When I'm weak and want to run 

Our Lord Jesus Christ
I offer up in faith 
In atonement for our sins
When this world's so unsafe 
And those of the whole world
For the sake of his sorrowful passion
Have mercy on us 
And on the whole world have compassion 

I trust in your mercy

I trust in your mercy
Though I daily fall 
So quick to forsake you 
Into heaven I will crawl 
Exhausted beaten 
By the storms of hell
Oh come and lift me 
For truth I cannot sell 

Sinking low
Into paralysed time
All I'm left with 
Are these lonely rhymes
To share with 
Another lonely soul
Suffering in silence 
From all the devil stole 

Restore these moments 
The locusts are eating 
Heal us God 
The demons are beating 
Hold them back 
Through the power of prayer 
Teach me how
To cast on you all my care 

Oh truth

Oh truth 
That liberates
And crushes
My happy states
That brings 
Me hope and peace
And makes 
Pain increase 

With joy
That does shine
That changes
Fully wine
Who comes 
To abide
Oh truth 
That has died 

To live 
Once again
Over all
To ever reign 
Oh truth 
Wearing me down
To dress me in 
Salvations gown

No cure

Multiple religions
A man can choose
They're filled with wisdom
Oh so many views
All aiming 
Towards God to seek
One alone knowing 
God became weak 

Oh how wise
Man can be
But can his wisdom
Set us free
Can he ransom
From the grave 
At best he can help us
Not so much misbehave 

Allah Krishna
Buddha Selassie
Never came 
And died on a tree
Who could have thought 
God would cry 
Did anyone ever imagine
God would die 

This is truth 
It's this or nothing
Christ crucified 
No other King
You can be humble
You can be almost pure 
But if you reject him
You've simply no cure 

God suffered

God suffered 
That thought hold
God like a slave
He was sold
God endured
Physical torment
God agonised
His flesh rent

God was stressed
Blood he sweat
God was impaled 
To pay our debt
God was murdered 
In his own blood drenched
God endured a broken
Heart sorely wrenched 

God like a lamb
Meek and gentle
Enduring torture
Spiritual and mental
To whom will you turn 
In your dark hour
Who else but the God who suffered
Our high tower

Suffering God

Will you carry my burden
In prayer
Will you bow low
And share
In my sufferings
For just one hour
Oh suffering God
Cast off far

In the garden
All hope bled
In his sufferings
Disciples fled
In his agony
Men did sleep
In his loneliness
Who did weep

Will I forsake you 
Again
Will I flee 
In my pain
I want to run 
From or too
Let my choice 
Be ever you 

You're not alone

You're not alone
Love is here
Compassions breath
Hounds so near
Stop for a moment
And meditate
God never
Shows up late

I ask for trials
And then flee
When suffering comes
I cannot see
Immanuel 
Disappears 
One set of footprints
Satan fears 

Lifted up
In arms of mercy 
Sinking low
Into hope 
God will not
Me forsake
Though I daily
Make him ache

Gone

Everything can go
In but a breath
An impulsive mess
Ushering in death
To all I value
All I hold dear
The mind falls
And can no longer hear 

Is there healing 
For this madness 
That banishes every 
Form of gladness
Who will rejoice 
In this hopeless rhyme 
Frozen is beauty 
Painful is time 

Religion slips through my heart
Like a shooting star
I rejoice in its beauty
Then it's gone forever far 
Like everything 
It's all subject to change 
Who can come to me 
And my illness rearrange

Trudge

Trudge trudge trudge
Through the heavy day
The weight of nothingness
On me does lay
Thank God for Mass
That lifts me to Gods throne
As he hears my every prayer
And my every weary groan

The wounds of the mind
The grey clouds stay
They follow me around
Now every day
But I have hope
In my God always
I know this too shall pass
For God never strays

Silent joy remains still
So calm in my innermost being
Peace in pure gentleness
My Spirit is now seeing
For God does abide
In me through each sacrament
I love him so much
Though my heart is daily rent 

The Door

It's God who does the work
Just give him our emptiness
Trust in him completley 
And He will surely bless 
Bring to him nothing
Just all that you are 
And let him fill you up 
To be his shining star 

What have we to give 
But our brokenness 
What have we to say 
But our sin to confess 
Oh open wide your mouth 
And let the Father fill 
Your tongue with his truth 
To go and do His will 

Oh blessed are the poor 
In spiritual poverty 
Blessed are the weak 
In Christ you are free 
In Him you are strong 
Just lay your all before 
The all powerful King 
Open wide to Him The Door

Burn

Burn burn burn 
In me oh Holy Ghost 
As I partake 
Of the Holy Host 
Oh blessed Trinity 
Purify me 
So I may be your vessel 
Come deliver me 

Dance dance dance 
In my innermost being 
Let all men be 
Our Living Christ seeing 
Manifest your grace 
Through this broken vessel
I will not let you go 
Though I have to wrestle 

Hope hope hope 
When all hope is gone 
Awake me every morning 
With your glorious dawn 
Arise daily in me 
Reach out to all mankind 
Through my spiritual poverty 
Open the eyes of the blind 

Friday 25 October 2013

One Faith

Buddha has great wisdom 
The Hindus lovely chants 
But for Jesus Christ 
My heart pants and pants 
Protestants write great hymns 
Muslims pray a lot 
But the Catholic truth 
Has my whole being got 

Lies will one day perish 
Truth will finally stand 
Jesus Christ will reign 
In every heathen land 
One day all the earth 
Will be full of his glory 
So Catholics sing out loud 
Your salvation story 

End all divisions 
And every puffed up mind 
That thinks it knows better 
Yet remains deaf and blind 
To the Holy truth 
The Holy Catholic faith 
That the Holy Church 
Has ever kept pure and safe

Don't give me

Don't give me money
Don't give me peace 
Don't give me joy 
Even let pain never cease 
Until each soul 
Comes one by one 
Unto Jesus Christ 
The eternal Son

Don't give me riches
Don't give me health 
Don't give me my dreams 
Banish all this worlds wealth 
For more than these things 
Than all these earthly treasures 
Give me souls saved 
That none on earth could measure 

Oh you've opened my eyes 
To mans final end 
If he won't repent 
Oh to me God them send
That I may pray for all
To come home and be saved 
And in the blood of Jesus 
To be forever bathed 

Do you know why?

Do you know why he hung
In such aching torment
Physical and spiritual 
In agonising lament
Forsaken by his Father
His Mother looking up
As the saviour of the world
Drank every drop of the cup

For you and I 
So we could be healed
Escape divine justice 
And in God be sealed
For God must punish the wicked
How easily satanic we could be
Oh praise the name of Jesus
Who from hell sets men free 

I almost stumbled 
In my proud imagination
Thinking I knew better
Than Gods holy Church creation
I thankyou Holy Father
For rescuing me
Oh you ever come to me
And daily set me free

The battle of the mind

The battle of the mind 
Can get so fierce 
The arrows of satan 
My soul does pierce 
Stabbing deep
Posined tips
In all his lies 
He them dips 

Help me lift 
My shield of faith 
So that I 
Can be kept safe 
In the truth 
Of Gods ways 
Faithful to him 
All my days 

How many want 
To see me fall 
Yet I will ever 
To my God call
Hide me under
The shelter of your wings 
As my fragile soul
Still in weakness sings

Hellish thoughts

It's been a week
Of meditating on hell
A story that is
So hard to tell
It speaks of torture
And of pain
And it has driven my soul
Deeply insane

When I meditate
On the visions of saints
I feel that I am
Ready to faint
The torture described
Is inexplicable
It makes my soul
Feel so ill

Kiss me my saviour
From your cross
Save me quick
For I'm about to see loss
Of all the good
I had tasted
This one doctrine
Has me wasted

Fire more painful
Than earthly fire
Is this true
Will I become a liar
Love my enemies
Become like Christ
Fire and torment
Flesh eternally sliced 

Thursday 24 October 2013

Stop the world

Stop the world 
Freeze the news 
Hear me quick 
Oh come and choose
The saviour Christ
The risen Lamb
Before this world
Is finally dammed

Don't make another move
Don't do another thing
Get down on your knees
Before your only King
Cry out for mercy 
The hour is very late
Soon you will have with judgement
Your final aching date

Have you an advocate
One to take your place
Have you received
Gods unending grace
If you have not 
Don't take another breath
Come now to Christ
Don't die an eternal death 

Meditate on hell

Meditate on hell
And sin won't seem so nice
It will lose its temptation 
And it's power to entice
Think of the punishment 
Every sin is due 
Temporal or eternal
Cast them all far from you 

Think of the flames
That will engulf your soul
With no rest from them 
As you cramp in hells dark hole 
Tormented forever
For all that you have done
Rejected grace and mercy 
Found only in Gods son

I hate the idea of hell
I'd rather think on mercy 
But hell is true and real
And you hold its key
To repent and receive
Love that is unfailing 
Or be judged in righteousness
For the truth you were nailing 

High upon a cross
To pay for every sin 
Except the ones you cling to
As satan he does grin
Another one deceived
By his wicked power
Oh come to Christ right now
This could be your final hour

Hell

Hell 
Terrifying 
Hell
Eternally dying
No rest 
No relief
Weeping and gnashing
Of teeth 

Angry insults
Arise
Towards God
They despise
His holy justice 
Righteousness
Too late 
To confess

Hells flames
Torment 
Men won't
Repent
Pleasure once
Delighted in
Eternally punished
Every sin 

No escape 
No way out
You can scream 
You can shout
All your anger
And your hate
Has left you knowing
It's too late

Wednesday 23 October 2013

God loves you

God loves you 
Blood did flow 
So that you 
Would truly know 
His hands pierced 
His head crowned 
So the lost 
Could be found 

Why stay away
And keep hiding 
When you could 
Be abiding 
Deep in union 
With your God 
Your creator 
The loving Lord 

Life is hard 
It can get so dark 
Oh come aboard 
The Holy Ark 
Before the flames 
Of hell ignite 
And all is left 
Is eternal night 

God can be heard

God can be heard
In a human's voice
Speaking gently
Giving us choice
To follow
Or go our own way
Oh his child
Today is the day

Of your salvation
God can be seen
In the face of a person
An earthly Queen
Dressed in rags
Or an earthly King
Shining so bright
As Salvations bell rings

Come tonight
Why delay
The King of love
He is Yahweh
He is creator
He is saviour
Who showers with grace
Oh Holy Favour 

God

God hears 
Suffering child
God is
Meek and mild 
God answers 
Keep the faith 
God will 
Keep you safe 

Fear not 
The blessed command 
God sees 
He understands
God is 
The living one 
Draw near 
To His Son 

Be still 
Fret not 
God has 
You got 
In the palm 
Of his hand 
He will 
Help you stand 

Another Baby saved

Another baby saved 
The angels do rejoice 
Precious life stood firm 
Though satan hates their voice 
Life has come forth 
The way God has planned 
Abortion in Ireland 
Will be fully banned 

Sing out children 
In the womb 
The wickeds plans 
Shall fall soon 
Light shall shine 
In this nation
As the righteous speak 
For all Gods creation 

Woe to those 
Who sit back
With no voice 
Oh how they lack 
Allowing unrighteousness 
To wickedly reign 
Voiceless against 
Our children's pain

For all you do

The sun came out
On a rainy day
Someone must have 
Sent a prayer my way 
Thankyou dear friend
Whoever you are
I love you so much 
Oh blessed hour

My depression lifted
Like a kite to the sky 
Floating up 
I wave it goodbye
Praise God 
For my brothers
And my sisters
And all the others

Who care for I
When I get low
Who send compassion
And annoy my foe
May I return 
A prayer for you
For now I'm thanking God 
For all you do 

It will pass

It will pass
No matter what it is
It will pass
You don't this have to quiz
All things pass
Joy and sadness
It will pass
Depression and gladness

Be Still
God shall ever be
Be still
Find your rest in He
Be still
Let the moment pass
Be still
And get yourself to Mass

Go with what's right
Not how you feel
Keep walking 
And soon you will heal
Just wait
And see the truth
All things pass
I have the proof

I've been here before
In dark aching days
But in time they soon pass
They in the end go away 
Weeping endures
Just for a night
In the morning comes joy
To kiss you with delight

Oh the night may be
Long and weary 
But with you is God 
And Mother Mary 
Fear not beloved
At all the Fathers will
He's perfect in wisdom
Peace be still 

Say a prayer

Lonely pain
Deadly silence
Empty torment
Spiritual violence
Absent God
Emotions scream
In voiceless wonder
Depressions theme 

No rhyme 
No reason
Just bipolars
Deadly season
With the breath of life
Kiss me quick 
Compress my Spirit
In darkness thick 

Say a prayer
For weakened me
Rather waste them not
Let me be
To kiss my cross
And hold it tight
To walk another step
In this cold dark night

You alone are true

I'm so needy and weak
Falling under the weight 
Wrestling with depression 
Oh how long the path is straight
Kiss me with some pleasure
To medicate the pain
Of feeling absolutely nothing
That drives a man insane 

Hours grow longer
The days seems like weeks
In the pit of darkness
The Son of man still seeks
Not to remove the weight
But to come along side
Oh my soul wrestle until
You in Him abide 

Sitting in the mall
Writing my poem lonely
Seeking for an answer
Found in you only
A thousand voices call
To run away from you
Temptation is so strong
Yet you alone are true

Tuesday 22 October 2013

Good night

The peace of God be with you
This dark cold stormy night
His joy be found deeply abiding
As the piercings winds do bite
His love that's ever unfailing
Wrap around you tight
Be still my brother in Christ
God has you in His sight

Good night dear friends in Christ.

Depressions cross

Depressions cross
So piercing and hollow 
But Christ 
I surely must follow
How many souls 
Saved shall be 
Through my cross
Heavy upon me 

I unite my sufferings
To Calvary 
Christ and I 
In deep unity 
My little pain 
To his excruciating torment
My weary sigh 
To his hellish lament 

Come and place your name 
Upon my heart 
So I can pray for you dear soul
As I quench each dart 
The enemy fires at your 
Wounded soul 
Come beloved 
Your salvation is my goal 

Monday 21 October 2013

Clay

I am but clay
Fragile and broken 
I've no control 
Over what is awoken 
In my life
Come what may
The unmovable rock
Is here to stay

Fears for the future
Can tempt and attack
But faiths shield  
Can hold them back 
From peircing deep
Through your soul
Love unfailing 
Will daily make whole

Oh what am I 
But dust and clay
Yet reigning in me
The Almighty Yahweh
In this chief 
Of sinners I am
Lives the spotless 
Holy Lamb

None I judge 
No not one
For I am the worst
Alone undone
All I have 
This little I give
Please God I offer it
So one more can live

I need

I need to write poems
I need to share
I need to love
I need to care
I need to be
All I am meant to be
I need to hope
I need to be free

I need faith
I need compassion
I need Christ
And His passion
I need the Church
And each sacrament
I need Christmas
And I need lent

I need to have joy
I need to have sorrow
I need to give
And I need to borrow
I need God
More than anything
I need my rock
I need my King

I need my daughter
I need my wife
I need my home
I need Gods life
I need water
I need food
I need clothing
I've understood

Life fill me
With the I Am
I need to kiss
The sacrificial lamb
And surrender all
That I am
Oh mighty saviour
Say storm be calm 

Anxiety and depression

Anxiety and depression
Are best friends
First comes worry
As he depression sends
They twist their way
Around your soul
And leave you empty
Tis their goal

Then I lift 
To Christ my eyes
And he destroys
All satans lies
For my God 
Will not forsake
No matter for now
How much I ache

Just one look 
To my King
Can banish worry
As I bring
All my cares 
And lay them down
At the cross
To lose my frown 

Suffering

Suffering is deadly
But so necessary 
Oh come to me God
And do me carry 
The weight of my cross
I find hard to bear
When it feels like God 
Just doesn't care 

Of course you do
My Salvations cross
Is fitted so perfectly 
Though it cause so much loss
But to lose
Everything for you 
Is simply what 
I'm called to do

Oh another way
Another path
Tempts me so
But command your staff
To comfort me
When depression does grab
And all it's emotionless
Arrows do stab

Worry

Worry's deadly bite
Did come to me and sting 
It took my eyes off Jesus 
The reigning sovereign King 
It's venom entered in
And all through my being flowed
Till I turned my eyes upon Jesus 
Who Smashed its deadly load 

Oh the joy of The Lord 
Is my daily strength 
Think upon his love
It's breadth and it's length 
The depth and the height 
Of all his love unfailing 
And through his grace filled ocean 
Let yourself be sailing 

He will not abandon you 
No matter what comes your way 
Never will he forsake you 
The Almighty God Yahweh 
For he has your name carved 
Deep into his palm 
As God himself was forsaken for you 
Oh all hail the Holy Lamb 

Heavy

Sometimes life gets too much
And all the burdens heavy
Push you to the ground
Oh how the weight does levy
Demanding and exacting
Its dull heavy load
Pushes you off the narrow path
And on to hells broad road

Lift me from the miry clay
I've found myself deep in
Pull me with the cords of love
Rescue me from my sin
Descend into the depression
Command it Lord to flee
Let me see your power oh God
Again deliver me 

Sunday 20 October 2013

Men rise up

Men rise up
Take a stand
The wars not won
On Facebook Land
It's won deep down
On our knees
It's offering up
Perfect pleas

With a heart
Full of love
With riches stored up
High above
Flowing out
From deep inside
Like a mighty wave
A holy tide

Let it come up
And sweep away
All the worries
And fears each day
That grow in
The weaker vessel
Against her enemies
Men do wrestle

Come men
Let us our blood see
In drops of sweat
On each bended knee
Let's get real
Let's see passion
Let's never see
Us our love ration 

Serve

You want to save the world
Then first your home do save
You want to heal the nations
Then let your family always bathe
In your love
In your grace
Daily kiss each ones
Perfect face  

Love begins at home
You cannot love the nations
If you can't love among you
Gods perfect sent creations
Into your life
Oh perfect wife
For your kids
Lay down your life

You can have a thousand talents
Like all of hell
You may be perfectly attractive
Like satan who also fell
But what good
Is all your beauty
If you can't do
Your homely duty

To serve serve serve
Men serve serve serve
Get it into our thick skulls
From it never swerve swerve swerve
You know your only purpose
Is to love your wife
And from that perfect place
You'll give the world life life life 

Kill me

Kill me
So I can live
Crucify me
So I can give
Come to me
Fully enter
Living God
Be my mentor

I'm the head
Of my house
Oh head bow low
Before your spouse
Sacrifice
All you are
Let loves call
Disempower

Serve and honour
Bleed and die
Hope with laughter
Weep and cry
For all living under
Your authority
Wash their feet
Set them free

Selfish

How selfish is
A human being
How bound to self
We are always seeing
Our own wants
Our own needs
Our good works
Our good deeds

To love another
We were made
Our own self
Must now fade
So God sends
Into our life
Perfect trials
Perfect strife

Let love begin
In a man
To love a woman
A perfect plan
To sacrifice
His everything
To dethrone himself
From being King

And become
The servant of all
In his home
Or the churches call
To give up
His all to give
So everyone else
Can fully live

This is the purpose
Of a man
This is Yahwehs
Crucifixion plan
For love to flow
From the head
And nourish all
Man become dead 

Saturday 19 October 2013

Your purpose

Man longs for purpose
Like a god it's treated
To be lifted too high
On a throne to be seated
So God takes it away
And leaves man with nothing
But breath and his God
The only worthy King

You are full of purpose
Though all you do is breathe
For your worth is so deep
So come and believe
That you are more than
All the things you do
You are Gods dear child
Know that this is true

Though you never walk or talk
Or win the fallen nations
Though you never see or hear
The wonders of Gods creation
Though you can only smile
Still upon you rests Gods glory
And your weakness saves so many
You are salvations story 

Life arise

You are Gods purpose 
Upon this fallen earth 
Your breath wounds the darkness
Your cry at your birth 
Makes the demons tremble 
Another soul has entered 
Oh how satan fears 
That this one on Christ be centered 

Kill the children 
In the womb 
Is satans cry 
Make no room
Upon this earth 
Deceive them all
Annihilate 
Shall be our call 

Life arise 
Darkness fear 
Two heartbeats 
Men shall hear 
Human rights 
For mother and child 
No longer shall truth 
Be defiled 

Oh the purpose 
Of just one child 
Can cause all hell 
To go wild 
With torment 
And despair 
Come forth every soul
Breathe Gods air

I love the Kingdom of God

I love the Kingdom of God 
I love her Catholic way 
I love the King who reigns 
The Mighty God Yahweh 
I love her Holy Queen 
Our blessed Holy Mother   
I love all the saints 
And every sister and brother 

I love her authority 
To forgive and to retain 
I love her Holy glory 
She shall ever reign 
I love her purity 
Her Holy Adoration 
I love she can be found 
In every single nation 

May my life 
Be Holy yours 
Your way alone 
Heals and cures 
Your confession alone 
Does purify 
Your Holy truth 
Destroys every lie

Reign in Glory 
Catholic kingdom
May every other 
Fall down dumb 
Speechless before 
Your Holy people 
May on this earth 
Alone be seen your steeple 

Fall down in ashes 
Every mosque bow low
Before the truth 
Flee every foe
All the lies 
In false religions found 
Come and acknowledge 
The pillar and the ground 

Oh King in confession

Oh king in confession
Your mercy is so great
You raise me up my master
Oh perfect holy state
Of Gods grace to be
In Christ the King
Now off to Mass
My Spirit to joyfully sing

Oh Holy 
Blessed mass
The mercies of Christ
Never you pass
The Trinity descends
Upon every soul there
To carry our burdens
As we cast every care

Leave it at the altar
All your weariness
And go in peace rejoicing 
Christ did you bless
Deep within your belly
The living waters flow
Now in hope and love
Surely you must go 

And announce the gospel
Of Gods everlasting peace
Daily with your spirit
Let Gods love increase
Let him guide your ways
Follow only Him
And in loves deep ocean
Let your whole being swim

Mercies waves

I will sing of hope 
I will sing of mercy 
Though my sin is deep
Love does ever free
From sins deadly chains
Wrapped around my spirit
Thank God his grace is free
For I could never merit

Grace grace
Pure and free
Grace grace 
Enter me
In your body
In your blood
Lift me from 
The miry mud

I will fall 
Down on my knees
I praise Christ for
St Peters keys
Loosing me from
All my sin
Ancient faith 
Enter in 

Sing of the way
The ancient paths
The modernists mock
The fool laughs
But I will eat
The God who saves
Wash over me now 
Oh mercies waves 

Though the way

Though the way is narrow
Though the way is hard
Though today you're feeling
So weak and disempowered 
Fear not beloved 
Christ is still for you
His love is so unfailing 
Here's what you can do 

Be still and know
That he is God
He is still sovereign 
He is still Lord
Of all your painful trials
And difficult circumstances
In you his Spirit 
In victory always dances

Though you be fallen
You've fallen into his arms
You've collapsed into his mercy
Into love that never harms
Though discipline come 
Though tears fall
Know for you beloved
Your God did give his all

Don't despair

Oh life 
Come to me
Oh truth 
Set me free
Oh way 
Follow me
Oh Christ
Let me see

What a choice 
We all must make
To choose Spirit
Or flesh to ache
How often 
Do we fall
How often
Do we give our all

Guilt is 
An enemy foreign 
Never let him
Enter in 
Come to Christ 
And hide your pain
Confession calls
To make sane 

Hope against
All hopelessness 
Blood can wash 
Just confess
Christ is for you
Don't despair
Cast on him now
All your care 

Friday 18 October 2013

Thank God for grace

Thank God for grace
Jesus I thank you 
Your love is so deep 
So pure and true 
I should be 
Absolutely Condemned
Instead you save me 
And then you do send 

A sinner such 
As broken I 
To kiss another sinner
Condemned to die
But with grace
I him reach
And with your love
I can him teach

Oh grace grace
So marvellously pure
Saving the sinner
Helping him endure
No matter how far
I go astray
My God comes seeking
My God Yahweh

False religions

Christ died
The world says no
The false religions
Are Christ's foe
They say he never
Rose again
But agree he bore
A lot of pain

Get behind me 
False religion
Get behind me 

With you I'm done
May God send you all
To the abyss
You came from
As you kiss

So many of the devils
Wicked lies
The world has bought them
Oh how man buys
Lies lies
And then more lies
While God weeps
Eternal cries

For all the lost
Deceived souls
Loving lies
Satans goals
To creep up
And bind us tight
In the lies of his

Eternal night

Thursday 17 October 2013

God is love

God is love
Deep and pure
Agape
He's the cure
For every heart
Lonely and sad
For every soul
That's gone bad
He's the way
Flee always
Be with God
All your days
Bless his Name
Declare his fame
God is never
The one to blame
Crucify
Your self now
Before your King
Always bow
In your heart
More than on your knees
Love your neighbor
As hatred flees
From your heart
And from mine
Let there be
Brand new wine
Flowing in
Ulsters land
Destroy every
Sectarian band
Remember war
Now no more
On each other
Love do pour
Forgive me Ireland
For all I am
Kiss the saviour
The holy Lamb
Together with me
And together let's see
How our wee province
Can now be free 

When does life begin

When does life begin
Oh come and please hear
Life begins at conception
Give me now your ear
Stop before you kill
The child in your womb
Think before you send
Your baby to the tomb

Weep a thousand tears
For the millions killed
This modern child sacrifice 
Many have foolishly willed
Shed a tear for the parents
Whose conscience have been stolen
By the spirit of this age
By people like Stephen Nolan

Just a little change
To the law in our land
Will bring abortion in
Abortion on demand 
Will this God not judge
In his Holy wrath
Believe me on that day
None will mock and laugh 

Dense

The world is falling apart
She's just about to explode 
And cannot handle no more 
Of our sins heavy load 
People have gone insane 
With no respect for life 
The world is disunited 
Bound in so much strife 

What's gone wrong 
So much relativism 
To many opinions 
Multiple schisms
Has God not spoken 
With one single voice 
Still too many love their own 
Demanding too much choice 

Choice to die 
To abort 
Euthanasia 
Cocaine to snort 
Choice choice
Freedoms chains
Choice choice 
Mental pains 

Shall we decide 
It's my choice to steal 
As long as for me 
So good it will feel 
Can we not get 
Some common sense 
Oh how the whole world 
Has become so dense 

The Stephen Nolan show

Pride comes 
Before a fall 
The biggest radio show
It does call 
For the killing 
Of our children 
Disabled and broken 
Oh what a sin 
To end 
Anyone's life 
What a choice 
To pick up a knife 
And tell me 
It's your choice 
You cannot hear 
The babies voice 
So we will speak 
Out for all 
The voiceless ones 
We will call 
Out for justice 
And for hope 
We will help 
The Mother cope
Oh biased 
BBC
How come 
You can't see 
How fallen 
You've become 
But we're not deaf 
We're not dumb 
We'll speak out 
For those with no voice 
We'll not give up
On those who have no choice 
We'll demand 
Your shows reviewed 
And prove you were biased
And so rude 
Especially to 
Bernadette Smyth 
With this Lady 
We'll stand with 
Though her you mocked 
And her scorned
Because she spoke 
For the unborn

Sexually fallen

Give me a song for the outcasts 
All the sexually fallen 
To every wounded soul 
The Son of Man is calling 
Come into my home 
Eat till your hearts content 
Let me kiss you with Agape 
Before I demand you do repent 

Does society hate you 
Do they misunderstand 
Telling lies about you
Come and take my hand 
You they do rape
Your soul in their shame 
They murder you these dogs 
And say you are to blame 

Oh let me carry 
The outcasts lonely cross 
It's my own sin I despise 
It's mine own that brings much loss
I'll never point the finger 
At a different sinner than I 
Rather let me bleed 
For them let me die 

Love crucified

Love crucified upon a cross 
Beaten bloody sore 
Righteousness mocked and wounded 
So goodness he could pour 
All himself he emptied 
Every last bleeding drop 
So the Son of man 
Could reap a mighty crop 

Men still be blinded 
To this love unfailing  
Our Christian legal ways 
We still our God are nailing 
Do we know his love 
Deep down in our hearts 
To carry another sinners cross 
The homosexual still departs 

We offer him righteousness 
When compassion is deeply needed 
Both are essential 
But let's prefer our body bleeded 
Let's not despise the outcast
In our wicked pride 
Let's not forget for all 
The risen saviour died 

Wednesday 16 October 2013

It's a sin

Yes it's a sin
But don't discriminate 
Yes it's a sin 
But don't them eliminate
Do we ostracize
The gluttonous man
From our fellowship 
Do we him ban

Oh it's a sin
It can only this be
Indulging in sin
Won't set anyone free
But hating the outcast
And denying him love
Will never show him
Your God above

Leave them be
Your pride is worse
And your love of money 
In your purse
Gay, lesbian, 
Trans, bi
For them all
God did die

Mary is my Mother

Mary is my mother
Darkness do tremble
Dare you come near me
Dare your demons assemble
My Mother guards me
My Holy Queen
The demons attack
She stands in between

I almost lost my way
She watched ever close
Satan knew he had me
She prayed in the Holy Ghost
Jesus he did hear
Satan then did run
And I shouted victory
In Gods Holy Son

I'm daily almost lost
But the Holy Trinity
Spoils the devils plans
Even uses them oh see
How much help
We have from above
Daily thank your Mother 
With her ever fall in love 

Missing Mass

I missed mass on Sunday
Perhaps it wasn't my fault
But I feel out of me
Has been shaken a lot of salt
Can I be salted again
Maybe I didn't lose it all
But the humbling duty of confession
Does me now call

I was up and down at the hospital
4 times that day
But I still feel that I
Got in the way
Looking back now
I really could have went
But thank God he loves me
And his goodness helps me repent

Oh Catholic never miss mass
It's a deadly sin
A mortal one too
Heaven you'll not win
Flee to confession
Careful how you go
And always always know
You'll reap all that you sow  

Hear my voice

Hear my voice
Before I die
Never ever
Love a lie
What you're told
Check it out
And everything
Always doubt

Until you see
The evidence
Hold onto
Your common sense
And don't accept
All you hear
Never live
In any fear

Listen please
Unto me
Truth will always
Set you free
Lies create
A culture of death
Lies steal
Too many a breath

How many children
Have to die
In the womb
Weep and cry
How much men
Will we debate
And create
Only hate

God came
He lived and died
He drank and ate
And he cried
He was buried
And rose again
Catholic truth
Is men's only gain

Temptation

Temptation is strong 
To be deceived 
To walk away 
God to grieve 
To live a life 
Of Eastern chant 
But for Christ 
My spirit pants 

When I get low
And confused 
And find the truth 
I have abused 
I want to run 
And to escape 
And have my big mouth 
Tightly Taped 

Thank God 
For Gregorian Chant 
And for adoration
But do I want 
To be with God 
Or have my senses delighting
Oh come to me 
And do me enlighten

Make it easy 
Make it broad 
The narrow path 
My request so odd 
Arrest me 
In my apathy 
And come again 
And set me free  

Tuesday 15 October 2013

Put out into the deep

Put out 
Into the deep
My vasectomy 
Is not mine to keep
Satans fears 
Are so real
But his arrows
Ever fail
When I flee
To Christ my rock
My shield of faith
Will every door unlock
I'm going to water
Walk upon
All myself 
Must now be gone
Oh narrow
Straight path
Is better than
Broad roads wrath
Come and Kiss 
The holy son
Lest he be enraged
And you perish undone 

Bandito

Who have I 
But Jesus my rock 
Who made this sick sheep
One of his flock 
Why did my God 
You call me 
When it would have been easier
To let me be 

Your name I love 
Jesus Yawheh 
Your name I kiss
Every day 
A Hail Mary 
I can barely say 
Yet God loves me 
Along the way 

The way I walk 
Is a stumbling limp 
I'm not often brave 
I'm a spiritual wimp
Deeply low 
In self esteem 
But God has made me 
His wee sunbeam 

A Hail Mary here 
A Haily Mary there 
Some holy Water 
Oh demons beware 
The weakest soul 
United to Christ 
Can't be bought back 
I'm too highly priced 

I'm a bandito
A mad man blessesd 
All my sin 
Is always confessed 
The same sin 
Over again
God in the broken 
Does always reign

Lonely God Dying

The world goes on
Spinning round
Who's in control
With their feet on the ground
Wars and famines
Wrath and hate
Has God taken a nap
Or shown up late

Diagnosis
Cancer calls
A baby aborted
A nation falls
Earthquakes tsunamis
Bombs and guns
The children starve
The parent runs

Did God 
Come on time
Does he see
Our hopeless rhyme
Oh be still
Foolish mind
God's still good 
God is kind

In the fullness
Of the times
Enter the King
Behind enemy lines
To carry every 
Weight we bear
To show men that
God does care

Alone in a garden
Bearing the weight
Of eternal torment
He broke hells gate
Rescued you 
Rescued me
lonely God dying
Upon that tree

God is the Gospel

God is the gospel 
Don't this ever confuse 
He alone is adored 
He is the good news 
There's no other rock 
But Christ the King 
Oh come lift your voice 
And to him sing 

Worship worship 
The Holy Lamb 
Adore adore 
His Holy palm 
Where your name 
Has been written 
In heavenly places 
His chosen are sitting 

We love the saints 
We love blessed Mary
In them our rock lives 
Don't this ever query
We love the faith 
We delight in her rules 
But God alone we worship 
For we be not fools 

We love our pope 
We respect his authority 
We love the magisterium 
Her truth sets free 
We love the Church
She is the bride 
But God the good news 
Is the one who died

Low

Low energy
Low mood
Low inside
Tis no good
For no reason
At all
Just the misery 
Of bipolars call

I offer it up 
For those in pain
For all the lost 
And all those insane 
I unite it to
Christ's body
In unity to see
The whole world free

What do we expect
Upon this earth
Heaven or hell
To be given birth
This life is but 
A fleeting thought
Be still dear child
You are blood bought

I offer my wounds
For every aborted child
And every precious one
That's been defiled 
I offer all 
That I am
To Jesus Christ
The silent Lamb 

Hospitals

Hospitals
Are lonely busy places
A dead active silence 
With so many faces
For the first time ever
Perhaps some time to think
Ponder upon life
Their own thoughts to drink

Some look scared
Many bored
Some look expectant
On their ward
Some smile
It's visiting hours
The hospital car park
Full of too many cars

Out in the distance
From the window
I capture a mountain 
Still trying to put on a proud show 
But it's distance gives it
A pretend humility
Beckoning all to heaven 
As does each tree 

Pray for my in law
My mother so weak
Come gentle Jesus
Kiss her cheek
She's so lacking 
In knowing what's goin on
May so much of your grace
Kiss now her every dawn  

Her days oh Lord 
Are in your hands
Teach her wisdom
Are in all your plans
Lavish mercy 
At this time
Let your truth 
In her soul rhyme 

Traditionalists and Modernists

Traditionalists and Modernists 
The Church we have broken 
It's now time love
In us should be awoken 
Enough of what 
Our opinions should be 
Bow right now 
Before St Peters Keys

Traditionalists and Modernists 
The Church we divide 
This is carnal, worldly 
And all built on pride 
Come to the cross 
Let us all fall down 
And acknowledge the Church 
Is the pillar and ground 

Look to the Holy 
Magisterium 
Let all Catholics to her 
In repentance now come 
And give up our own
Private interpretations 
And let's show true unity 
To all of the nations 

Sunday 13 October 2013

I will hobble

I will hobble in in crutches
Just as the gates do close 
Last of all my brethren 
Even of all my foes 
I will make it into heaven 
By Gods faithfulness 
Come to me my Saviour 
Oh come to me and bless 

The broken of brokenness 
The weary of weariness
The weakness of weakness 
The stumbler of stumbleness 
The fool of foolishness 
The hopeless of hopelessness 
But in your bloody garments 
You daily do me dress 

How the demons rage 
Against your holy grace 
How you mock them God 
With laughter on your face 
They want to tear me apart 
From limb to bloody limb
But they know my name is written 
And I belong to him

Sometimes

Sometimes it gets all too complicated 
And I'm ready to break 
Sometimes I feel so confused 
And my soul it does ache 
Sometimes the pressure builds so high 
My whole being seems to explode 
Sometimes bipolar sneaks up on me 
And my spirit seems to erode 

Sometimes I would hope 
For more clarity 
Sometimes Hinduism tempts me 
But how could I let you be 
Sometimes the cross does penetrate 
All that I Am 
And always I fear to flee 
From the Holy Lamb

Reversal?

Do I want more chidren, yes
But for them to have, do I want 
A sick dad, a broken man 
To think on this I simply can't 
Do I abstain to go Insane 
Do I reverse a grave sin 
Do I follow a narrow impossibility 
Who will ever with this win 

The church speaks in her compassion
No reversal required 
But men speak with much rehearsal 
Of this I'm sick sore and tired 
No smoking no tattoo's 
Don't do this do that 
Traditions of men 
I would like to bat 

Far away into oblivion 
Binding heavy loads on men 
Take away their books oh Lord
Smash in pieces their every pen 
Give me the Holy Magisterium 
Whom I wish at times could be 
Much much more clearer Lord
So I could clearly see 

Sing out Holy Church 
I will speak of your mercy 
At times your ways are so hard 
But they always free 
Unbind the heavy loads 
Men put on men's shoulders 
Remove every heavy weight 
Lift off their weary boulders 

All I want to do is obey 
Tell me what it is 
I can't work much things out 
I can't handle every quiz 
Just speak and tell me 
What I have to do 
Don't bring me protestant confusion No
Give me only what is Catholic and is true

Saturday 12 October 2013

Come weeping God

Come Weeping God 
Into this deadly night 
Store these tears of grief 
Where you dwell in light 
Comfort my sister Susie 
With thy healing embrace 
Wrap your arms around her 
Kiss her face with grace 

Carry her upon the wings 
Of our unfailing prayers 
Help her cast upon you 
All her aching cares 
Sustain her at this time
Of painful shock and helplessness 
And in comfort and in hope 
Oh my God her dress

Take my poem

Take my poem 
My gift to you 
I've nothing else 
To give tis true 
But my heart 
Upon my sleeve 
So just one more 
Might believe 

What matters 
In this age 
Where darkness at light 
Does rage and rage 
But to bring 
You home dear friend 
To give you Christ 
Before the end 

Will you receive 
The God who died 
Will you taste him
In Him to hide 
Yourself away 
From the wrath to come 
Oh come to him 
Eat up each crumb 

Yes have faith 
In Christ do trust 
Let this worlds wealth 
Just rust and rust 
Store up riches 
High above 
And with God 
Fall in love 

Pure religion

Pure religion will kill you
That's the bad good news
Death before life
You've got to always choose
Do you want a good life
Do this you really want to find
Kiss death embrace her
With all your heart soul and mind

There is no other way
But the narrow path 
Yet you're free to walk broad road
That leads to eternal wrath 
Oh come and hug death 
Before it chooses you
Die dear soul today
And life will follow through

Give up anxious thoughts
Worries futile torment
Give up predicting future
Come and do repent 
Of being the God 
Of your brief mist appearing
Kiss the King of hope
Banish all your fearing 

The Protestants Dilema

We've moved house 
A church now to find 
Let's try modern worship
In here they're all so kind 
A great young Pastor 
Who keeps your mind focused 
But they pretend to heal people 
Like some old hocus pocus 

Let's try traditional 
The Anglican is so nice 
Perhaps a bit dead 
That's too high a price 
Off to the Presbyterian then 
The word they exalt 
But we don't fit in 
Oh it's all come to a halt 

Why not try the baptist 
They seem so good 
Got modern worship 
And good bible food 
Oh the Protestants dilema 
That ought not to be 
Just go to the one Christ began
And be set free  

Friday 11 October 2013

Peace

Peace 
What can compare
Peace 
There's none like her
Peace 
Perfect rest
Peace 
She's the best 

I'd sell everything
To buy peace
I'd do anything
To maintain peace
And God gives her
As a gift
To me a sinner
She does lift

Ahh sigh
Perfect peace
She always brings joy
To much increase
They're close friends
United always
May joy and peace
Come to your days

Getting things straight

Homosexuality
Bisexual
Lesbianism
Let's get factual
It's all sin
Call it by name
Sin sin 
That can't remain

Do I condemn 
No no way
I'm immoral myself
In oh so many a way
But I call it by name 
Sin sin 
Living in it 
Who can win

So what is one to do
When who they are is called out
Get offended at the preacher
Who has to daily shout
For these are the days
Evil is called good
And good called evil 
And the righteous called rude

Oh come fall in love
With the risen lamb
Come as you are
Your name upon his palm
But bring repentance 
When to God you come
For he is a consuming fire
Nows the time to run

Pressure

When pressure mounts
And the stress levels rise
When boredom torments
And yourself you despise
When anger is King
For a moment or two
Its cousin lust
Will creep up on you

Try in that moment
A rosary to choose
But out the window
Goes all the good news
Wallow deep
Deep in the dark
Jump for a moment
Right off of the ark

Swim around
In stormy oceans
Drink down the devils
Magic potions
Life jacket thrown
By a friend in prayer
Climb up the ladder
Someone does care

Just one candle

The whole earth may be
Covered in thick black darkness
But it only takes one spark
To light it up to bless
Just one candle
To annoy the night
Just one Christian
To put demons to flight

I will rage
Against the dark
I will not
Put out my spark
I will burn
With my little light
I will not
Give up this fight

My breath shall speak
For those who can't
For my Christ
My soul will pant
To be heard
From him on high
To end abortion
Let's all draw nigh

Heather

Heather I love you
Though we've still to meet 
You're a wee eternal soul
Whose tiny little feet 
Never got to walk
Upon this painful earth 
For our wee Heather 
You died at your birth 

Where did you go
Oh so little one 
Where does everyone go
Who will no longer greet the sun
Did the Father know 
'Twas better you be taken 
Sooner rather than later
But you are not forsaken 

Heather your in my prayers
I love my big sister
Let me tell the world 
I wish I could have kissed her
But one day soon 
When God puts this world right
I'll kiss your cheek forever 
Oh come this day so bright.
