Dying to live

Through your trials
I'll stay awake
Though it makes 
My mind to ache 
I will stay 
This night with thee
I will wait 
Till you are free

From the earthly
Tent your wear 
It's many wounds
But I will care 
I will pray
And I will stay 
I will weep 
Oh on Him lay

All your burdens 
Down this night
Fear not to give up
Your earthly fight
The time has come
The shadows end
The promises of God
Behold the rainbows bend 

Colours of hope 
Bend over thee
God is calling 
Come now to Me 
There's a pot of gold
Awaiting you there
All your loved ones
For you do care

So be at peace
End your breathing 
From us really 
You're not leaving
You're just taking a trip
We all must soon take
Where there's only love
And we'll never again ache

May God 
Open your ears
In Him now
He'll destroy all your fears
For God is love
And He loves you so
Now into his arms
I release you now go

God gave us a mother

God gave us a Mother 
A beautiful Queen
God gave us her heart
So on hope we could lean
And come to her 
And fall on our knees 
For she reigns with her Son
Who hears all our pleas 

Blessed Mary
I enthrone you above
Blessed Mary
Your heart owns my love
Blessed Mary
Do come hear my plea
Blessed Mary
Let me be more like thee 

Love or hate

The world's at war
The wicked mock
But time is ticking 
On the clock
Evil reigns
In these dark days
But soon the Son will shine 
His eternal rays 

How in the heat of his glory
Will the wicked be tormented
They lorded it over others
And never have repented
Thy think they've escaped
And gotten away 
With their wickeds deeds
They do each day 

Still Yahweh sees
His righteous ones in pain
Suffering at the hands
Of the wickeds gain
Pay them back double
For each wicked deed
And still for them 
God did bleed

Sometimes I'm torn
Between love and hate
My enemies I want
To have a horrible fate
When they hurt
My little child
I want to reign down fire
I want to go wild 

Then I look 
To the cross of Gods Son
And I behold the mystery
Of all that God done
They tore Him apart
And the Father did nothing
While the wicked went home
Still mocking and laughing 

Oh God help me to love
My child's enemies 
Help me to pray
And raise up aching pleas
For their hope 
And for their salvation 
Oh help me see them 
As your creation 

Broken sinners
Putting others down
To lift themselves up
They'll kick you to the ground
Oh God 
Let them kick me
I'll bear it all
If my child can go free

Yet the greatest pain
Is not what's done to me
It's to watch another you love
Be broken you see
How deep the Fathers love
To watch His Only Son
Oh blessed Mary our Mother 
What a salvation you have won 

Morning is near

Kiss this age goodnight
Morning is near
The reign of satan
Is over soon hear
His death
And his hell
Soon cast into the lake 
Of fire do tell 

Love wins
All shall be raised
Love wins
None shall be erased
Those who love 
Will reign with you
In joy unspeakable
Oh how true

Love wins
The dammned shall even 
Rise again
The eternal heathen 
Burning in 
Tormenting fire
They shall weep at the sound
Of the heavenly choir 

Unending songs
Sing of the Lamb
Eternal praise
Oh this will dam
All Gods
Enemies 
Jesus Christ 
Has the keys 

Oh hell and death
You are no more
Into the fiery lake
God will pour
All your 
Evil reign 
All your
Hateful pain

Oh the wonder

Death comes
To us all
We try to pretend
There was no fall
We escape
In our disordered pleasures
We indulge so much
Without measure

We store up food
We long for health
We escape in pleasure
Wanting wealth
We will not number
At all our days
We will not heed
What God says

Still mercy flows
Like an unending stream
Into graces deep ocean
Doesn't it seem
Odd that men
Won't give heed to the way
Though God was put
On full display

God was placed
Upon a cross
Ignore this
And all is loss
Won't you stop
And at least ponder
Why God was murdered
Oh the wonder

Etta

Sitting at your bedside 
Many prayers offered up
I can hold your hand
And help you drink the cup
Calling on our saviour
Who knows so very well
The pain of laboured breathing
Just before he descended into hell

Fear not his little sheep
He holds in victory the keys
Of hell and death
He comes and ever frees
The one who has nothing left
But to trust their all to you
Oh descend HolySpirit 
And comfort through and through 

I will sit here with you
And watch against the foe
Who may try and claim you
Though he will have to go
For I'll speak of your baptism
And the precious blood that flowed
And God the Father will command
And gently lift your heavy load 

Fear not 
Gently Breathe 
Fear not
No longer grieve
See the angels
Are descending
See your soul arise 
All heaven is you defending 

Wednesday 27 November 2013

Make me a saint

Make me a saint 
I bow to you my head 
To place upon it 
Thorns for the dead 
Lost in all their 
Hopeless pleasure 
I give you my heart 
Without measure 

Make me a saint 
But only for you 
How we love to be admired
By more than a few 
So destroy all 
My reputation 
Let me be despised
In every nation 

Make me a saint 
Take my hands 
Place them amidst 
All your plans 
Let them bear
Your sufferings
Oh only wise 
King of Kings 

Pain

There's pain at birth
Pain at death 
The way to the Kingdom
Is on my breath
I'll speak it out
And sing out in joyful sorrow
The narrow gate
Brings a new tomorrow

Man can't flee
From suffering
Wealth can't help
But faith will bring
Treasures worth
Much more than gold
Oh let the Gospel story
Be ever told 

Man is born 
In so much sorrow 
Health and wealth 
He may only borrow
But in the end
He must give them back
Unless he's Christ's
Then nothing shall he lack 

Gateway

Gateway to heaven 
Gateway to life 
Deaths gate
Though it cut like a knife
Is the painful way
To eternal joy
Where death no more
Can annoy 

Why are we
Always surprised 
When death arrives
As an enemy despised
Do we not dwell
In a land of death
That assuredly takes
Every mans breath 

Maybe you've never
Numbered your days
With a heart fully wise
To know death always pays
Out the wages 
Of hopeless sin
Putting the thought off
Then how can you win

Oh let me tell you 
Gods in control 
Of every man
Of every soul
Rest in Him
Who gives breath to all
Until he raises 
From the fall

Slipping away

Slipping away
Hard to breathe
Loved ones weep
Oh how we grieve 
But don't be too sad
Like like those with no hope
The life giving trinity
Will help you cope 

Kiss your loved one
A hopeful goodbye
They still live
Though they die
In Christ 
They have peace
Now let your sorrow
With faith decrease 

But let it out
All your feelings 
God understands
You need healing
Don't pretend 
It isn't hard
But keep faith 
As your trump card

Tuesday 26 November 2013

Be still

Why do you 
Try so hard
And end up feeling
Disempowered
Don't you know
God loves you
No matter what
You fail to do

Don't your realise
Who's inside
Your holy heart
He does abide 
The creator who
Does sustain
The whole universe
Again and again
 
Be still
In your weakness
Trust God
Who comes in meekness
To annihilate
All your sin
In each sacrament
He will come in

Don't you know
Your flesh will not
Profit anything 
It's born to rot
Walk in 
The Holy Ghost
Daily eat 
The Holy Host 

Be still 
Fear not 
God's the Saviour
You he's got
He will finish 
What he started
Just don't be found
To have departed

God did bleed

Hey lonely face
Staring at your screen
Yes you Beloved
How have you been
Scrolling through 
The latest news feed
Did anyone tell you 
God did bleed 
 
God bled
Will you pause a moment
God bled
I've been sent
To tell you at
This little time
God bled for you 
With my little rhyme 

God did bleed
For you his child
God did bleed
He's meek and mild
God did bleed
He's gentle and kind
God did bleed
You to find 

Read my poem 
And then scroll on
Forget this moment 
But each new dawn 
May God shine
Upon your soul
To give you hope 
And make you whole

Food and clothing

Food and clothing 
Is all we need
To be content
Oh Gods word heed
Don't our pleasures
A moment last 
How hard it is
For man to fast

But food and clothing
With contentments peace
Is better by far
Than riches increase
For those who be rich
Can be very poor
Always sad 
No peace for sure

Give me 
A simple roof
Over my head
With Gods truth
To read all day
Of his love
Give me riches
From above

Why do men
Seek wealth
And pay for it
With their health
Or their family
They give away
For mammoths lure
That comes each day 

Why do we need
Fast cars
Over spending
At drunken bars 
A huge house
With many rooms
Poverty written 
On our tombs

We can only sit
In one chair at a time
And one bed 
Oh it's a crime 
To take more
Than we need 
Still for the rich
God did bleed 

Be on your guard

Guard your thoughts
What you think 
Your whole world
Could begin to stink 
If fears and worries
Begin to creep in
To your mind 
To make you sin 

To depart 
From your God
From the beauty
Of your Lord
Oh come and conquer
Every vain 
Imagination 
Oh come let's gain

God is good
Loving and kind
Yes to you 
Oh guard your mind
With a thankful 
Grateful heart 
Never from your hope 
Oh don't depart 

Say a wee 
Morning prayer 
Cast on God
All your care
Before you eat 
Thanks do give
It's God alone 
Who let's you live 

Now know this age
Is wicked and dark 
So stay aboard 
The Holy Ark
And always remember
Life is but I mist
Appearing just a while
Like a new lovers kiss

There are no words

There's something I need to say
But the words I cannot find
Oh Christ give me a poem
To give sight to the blind
Spiritual eyes
So that men may see
Their Holy worth 
Oh set them free 

There are no words
Just an empty cross
An empty tomb 
An eternal loss
As the ancient of days
Who fills all time
Entered it
Oh help me ryhme 

Of love displayed
For all to see
Hanging there 
Upon a tree
How could you this
Love behold
And walk away
With a heart so cold

Yet still his love
Aches for you
When will you awake 
To his love so true
The grave could call
You today 
How can you from hope
Walk away 

Give me a poem
Give me a ryhme
Give me a word
It's such a crime
That the world mocks
The lovers cross
What a hopeless
Eternal loss

Something's changed

Something's changed
In my thinking
I'm not the same
For my souls been drinking 
Down the prayers
Of many friends
I don't deserve such love 
That defends

But God has brought me
To his loving bride
To carry me through 
The many tides
Of light and darkness
That comes and goes
In my life 
The highs the lows 

A barrier has 
Been broken down 
I don't need
Uniformities gown 
I see God 
In a much more beautiful way
I love him so 
Our God Yahweh 

Sing of love 
Of love divine
That changes bread 
And changes wine
If God can change 
Such ordinary things
He'll change us too
Oh hope that brings

Joy in 
The midst of sorrow
Peace in 
Every tomorrow
For God will never
You forsake
Stay with him
Though you ache 

God loves the sinner

God loves the sinner
Calvary does shout out
God loves the sinner
No more be in doubt
God loves the sinner
With us all to dwell
God loves the sinner
Let our gospel tell

God loves the sinner
Who sins every day
God loves the sinner
To not leave you that way 
God loves the sinner
When you finally believe
God loves the sinner
Why would God you ever leave

For God loves the sinner
In slavery to addiction 
God loves the sinner
The gospel is no fiction 
God loves the sinner
Be patient for God to deliver
God loves the sinner
Forever and forever 

God loves the sinner
His fire does purify 
God loves the sinner 
No need to question why 
God loves the sinner 
He wants to eat with you 
God loves the sinner
This is forever true 

Sunday 24 November 2013

Come, let us be one

Come, let us be one
For God does weep
Come, pursue unity
Ye wandering sheep
Come, bow low
Let humility reign 
Come, kiss the Cross
And let us all gain

Come, come
Oh separated people
Breathe together 
Under the one steeple
Partake together 
Of the Holy Host
Be one in love
In the Holy Ghost 

Come now east 
And kiss the west 
Come west
And the east do bless
Come and speak
With only one voice
Let us all
Make the right choice

Conquering King

Conquering King
You enter in silence
Against the flesh
You bring Holy violence
Behind this carnal
Enemy line
Flows through me
What once was wine

Oh you instill
Joy that's your own
From this comes strength
Through grace alone
I'm one with
My living Lord
The Trinity
Forever adored

Eternal peace
In me does rest
Weekly all
My sins confessed
To give my Body
In purity to Christ
Just as He purchased me
So highly priced 

Come to my aid

God my salvation
Come to my aid 
Let all the knowledge 
I've learnt oh now fade
Wrap me in 
Your wounds and scars 
Bring me to 
The Holy Hours 

Heal your Body 
We have divided 
For men in love 
Have not abided 
Chasten us sore
Till we repent 
And fulfill the mission 
Who has been sent 

Did the west 
Go astray 
So many millions
Had lies to say 
Or did the East 
Depart in pride 
With the keys 
Not to abide 

Who am I 
To work this out 
I'm torn and broken 
For I do doubt 
Where God 
Will plant my feet 
Which bread 
Will I eat 

There be 
Just one bread 
On what rite 
Is truth fed 
Can't we all 
Just be one 
And fulfill the prayer 
Of Gods Son

More of God

More of God 
Is all I want
Men can point
But I will pant 
For the Body 
Of my God
For his blood
Oh come my Lord 

Confusion has gripped 
My soul this night  
I know not the enemy 
With whom I fight 
Is it God 
Or the lying snake 
Oh come my God 
And me awake 

The greatest of men 
Know more than I 
So why do I even
Foolishly try 
I would rather 
Cry and cry 
Than begin to work out 
Why oh why 

Has God left 
His Church in a mess 
And still her beauty 
Helps me confess 
Oh clothe me in 
You this night 
Before I turn 
Out the light 

Have I seen your frailty 
Oh weak divided bride 
Has it made me want to 
Not in you abide 
Will I nurse your wounds
Or point them out 
Will I whisper quietly 
Or just scream and shout 

Hide me in your shadows 
Oh weak and humble King 
Let your wounds heal me 
Let my Spirit sing 
Of love unfailing 
Never let me go 
Forgive me Holy Trinity 
When I put on such a show

Filioque

It's too complicated
For little old me
Far too difficult
Yet I can't let it be
Filioque
And the Son
Can't we just 
Become one

But it's more than just
A word in a creed
It's the very person of God
And the sheep need to feed
On the truth 
Not on a lie 
For if they chew on the latter
They'll get sick and die 

Oh the Spirit proceeds
From the Father alone
Yet through the Son
That creed all can own 
So why does it take
A millennium 
To unite together 
Let east and west come 

Just drop the Filioque 
How hard can it be 
It's wasn't written in unity
Oh come Holy See
What price 
Will men pay
Why our oneness
Do we delay

I really don't know
What I'm talking about 
But in my rhyme
I'll let my foolishness out
There must be a way
To now become one
And stop trampling on 
The prayer of Gods Son

Thursday 21 November 2013

Just a little flame

Just a little flame held
To burn a child's hand
Would be considered child abuse
Oh men how can your doctrine stand 
For just a little flame
Can cause excruciating pain
Oh what many people believe
Sould be regarded as insane 

Do you not think this through 
Oh come and behold
That thousand of degrees of burning
Is a fiendish story that you've told
You can't truly know God
If that's what you believe
In literal physical torture  
Oh how that must make God grieve 

Flesh melting off
More flesh then provided 
Demons clawing at you 
You have not in God abided
If you believe this
Hell of mans own making
You have believed a lie 
And the truth you are forsaking 

Cramped hot holes
In the burning walls
Unending agony
Flaming cries and calls
Oh make the pain cease
But God remains deaf
And they say he then comes
With holy wrath upon his breath

More pain, more pain
God they say will send
In his furious anger
Men's torture will never end
And they say men choose this
Agonising place
To believe such a foolish lie
Proves you have never seen Gods face

Oh Latin legal rite
You've got God all wrong
With this wicked doctrine
Your hell does not belong
Come listen to the east
Hell is indeed real
And yes men choose it
For Christ they will never hail

Hell is Gods presence
Of flaming burning love
Such love you can't return
As you've blasphemed Gods Holy Dove
You will indeed weep
And be deeply hopelessly frustrated
In your own condemnation
For God you've forever hated

Wednesday 20 November 2013

Flesh

The flesh is ever hungry 
It ever does need fed
It never stops wanting 
Pleasures that are dead 
The flesh profits nothing 
The Spirit is peace and life
The flesh always leads to 
Pain and unending strife 

Oh crucify me Lord 
That my flesh may daily die 
Oh curse these passions
That moment by moment try 
To make me their slave 
Come Christ and set me free
Oh meet me in the sacraments
Christ never let me be 

Oh flesh may I kill you 
By faith and works of love 
Oh flesh may you bow down
Before Gods Holy Dove 
Oh flesh how I hate 
All you help me do 
Oh flesh burn away 
In flames Holy and true 

Your smile

It's spontaneous, captivating 
Inviting you in
To the mystery of creation 
Though damaged by sin 
It's a small little movement 
That lifts on each side 
Of the lips that do open 
A little bit wide 

It matters not much 
If you see white or stained 
The wonder remains 
And many have gained 
By small little movements
That rise on each side 
Lifting up others 
Your smile never hide 

Fear not

When mum and dad 
Do pass away 
I will be to you 
Every day 
Your strength, your provider 
Your hope and peace 
I will in you 
My Love increase 

Fear not little one 
For I am here 
To my heart 
Do draw near 
Lay your worries 
Upon my breast 
And your fear 
Lay it down, do rest 

Am I not 
Both dad and mum
Oh to me 
Always come 
I am the hen 
Come under my wings 
I am your God 
Who over you sings 

Be still my child 
I am here 
Be still my child 
Quiet your fear 
Be still my child 
It's a season new
And I will never 
Forsake you 

Many want heaven

Many want heaven 
But God they don't want
Many want eternal pleasure
But aren't willing to pant
As the deer does 
For the water 
We want to be the clay 
Who commands the potter 

We want to overthrow
The King of the kingdom 
When want all it's riches
While we remain deaf and dumb
To the mysteries 
And the narrow gate
When want to enter heaven 
And keep all our hate 

We want we want 
And we want some more
We forget contentment 
Is inside the door
The door of death
We will never enter through 
God wants your heart
And not just what you do 

Oh come let us
Adore him now
Oh come let all
Before him bow
His love alone
Can compel
But your still free
To welcome hell 

Trust

God will keep you
Keep your faith 
God will guard
And keep you safe
God will rescue you
From many afflictions
God will save you
From your addictions 

The moment your flesh 
Is given birth
It begins to die
Like this fallen earth 
But your eternal
Immortal soul
Guard will keep
And make you whole

If you stay
And trust always
And don't look around 
At what decays
Store up treasures
In your heart 
And never from you
Will God depart 

Like the ancients of old

A pre Christmas fast
Like the ancients of old
Sacrificing pleasure
Let the gospel be told
Come and take up
Your cross and die
It'll make you suffer
It'll make you cry

But blessed are those
Who do mourn now
Who before the cross
Have learnt to bow
Who consider their life
And all things but dung
To kiss the wood
Where the saviour hung 

Splintering into 
Their fleshly pleasure
Crucifying
All worldly leisure 
The narrow way
Is surely straight
But your life now 
You must truly hate 

Tuesday 19 November 2013

I surrendered

I surrendered all to God 
My career, my heritage 
My life, my rage 

I surrendered all to God
My opinions, my dreams 
My Hopes, my religious themes 

I surrendered all to God 
My nation, my flag 
My pride, my name tag

I surrendered all to God 
My lies, my truth 
My bible, my proof 

I surrendered all to God 
My sanity, my death 
My idols, my breath 

Father

Father, when I'm afraid
I think of only you
When I'm afraid I hold fast to 
What is ever true
And look upon your shining face
In your Holy Son 
Beaming out endless grace 
Oh to you alone I run 

What have I to fear
For fear has torment
And perfect love in your Son
Has to all been sent
As we behold your glory Lord 
In all Jesus did and say 
We are free from fear and death
For we've beheld Yahweh 

Perfect Holy Father God
This world can get so dark
But I know you've prepare a place for me
Upon your Holy ark
Bid me Lord to stay aboard
While the storm rages 
So I may ever sing for joy
Unto the ages of the ages

This slaughtered Lamb

Lord have mercy
Upon me a sinner
What hope have I
To be ever a winner
In this race
Before me you've set
Who would ever
On me place a bet 

What's the odds
Ten million to one
That I will endure
Unto the end with Gods son
But who is this 
Who holds me so tight
Full of power
Full of might

Every fall 
Only helps me to know
God still loves me
And I've nowhere to go
But deeper Into 
His nail scarred palm
As he clothes me in mercy 
This slaughtered lamb 

Oh futile lips

Oh futile lips 
Be closed tight 
Who are you 
To judge this night
Oh God please
An angel send
To guard my mouth 
Oh my tongue do mend

God is in heaven
I'm on earth
Do not let me
Many words birth 
For with the tongue
I can curse or bless
Oh speed me to the sacrament
So I can confess

Take my tongue
It do sanctify
Let my words be life
Why should another die
By my sharp arrows
Quick to depart
And stab a sister 
In the heart 

Bless me Father 
For sinned have I 
It's been 1 hour
Since I did draw nigh
To my God 
To confess
More of Christ
And of me less 

I love The Lord

I love The Lord
He ever does delight 
His Catholic Holy Truth 
Lifts beyond the highest height 
Even when I'm lowly 
And suffering all day long 
He is my salvation 
He is my eternal song 

Oh exalt The Lord with me 
Praise his name always 
Let his Eucharistic feast 
Bless you all your days 
For we be not orphans 
We be not forsaken 
We are daily nurtured 
Though we be daily aching 

In body or in mind 
Are Spirits ever fed 
For they be risen 
They're risen from the dead 
We're seated with our Christ 
In heavenly places 
Ever satisfied 
With all his heavenly graces 

God loves

God loves me 
I dance with delight 
He holds me fast 
In the cold dark night 
He mocks the demons 
That try to take  
Me from his hold 
He makes them ache 

God loves you 
All who are reading this 
He longs for your communion
Oh do not miss
The glorious Hope 
He gives to all
Why remain deaf 
To Gods call 

God loves all
How this is true 
God loves me 
And God loves you 
See him suffer 
Upon a cross 
See him bear 
Your eternal loss

Oh God who did suffer

Oh God who did suffer
Such agonizing pain
Not only in your Body
But mind and spirit to gain
Hope for the lost
You paid the cost
For the joy set before you 
You endured the cross 

Oh God who did suffer 
Lift up the lowly 
Breathe life into us
Oh come Spirit Holy
For without you to guide 
What would be our end
Oh the everlasting punishment 
That torments but never mends 

Oh God who did suffer
For all the world whole
I join my tears to yours
To weep for every soul
That's going the wrong direction 
From you and not toward
Oh drag them in your net
Oh most merciful Holy Lord

Oh God your justice is merciful 
Your mercy is just and true 
Your love cannot fail
What you command it to do
And yet man is free
To love or walk away 
What more than your blood can plead
If men never want with you to stay 

It's okay

It's okay 
To be who you are
It's okay
If you don't get very far
As all the others 
Who walk 
So tall
And leave you aching
As you crawl

It's okay
To fall down
It's okay 
With your knees on the ground
Crawling home
Like a Broken wanderer
With painful thoughts
Oh foolish ponderer

It's okay 
Christ is for you
It's okay 
Love will greet you
It's okay
To even fall back
Still in Christ 
Nothing you lack

Overcoming 
Is not about winning 
It's not even about
Giving up all your sinning 
These things all come
In good time if
You remain in His Body
Then you He will lift 

As you feed
On Christ The Lord
As you eat
Though none applaud
Like a beggar
Out in the street 
Towards Gods house
Oh direct your feet 

Love unfailing

Sing of the Lords
Love unfailing
See upon the cross
They were nailing
Love divine
Lover of all
Love on the cross
To all does call

Every creed bow
Before this King
Every knee bow
Oh to Him sing
Let all the nations
Gather and weep
Oh hear ye deaf
Ye lame do leap

Come ye blind
Speak out ye dumb
Lift up your voice
Oh do now come
And sing with me
Of love unfailing
Even as all the nations
In birth pangs are wailing 

How many are lost

How many are lost 
In hell right now
Who before lies 
They've learnt to bow 
The little children 
Sat on his knee
While the Pharisees 
They did flee 

Oh hells flames 
Torment the mind 
Not knowing 
God is kind 
They've created God
In the image of satan 
Like some wild beast 
Who can't stop hating 

Yet The Lord knows 
The thoughts of man 
Futile foolish 
That should be banned 
Torture chambers 
Children abused 
They've got God 
All confused 

God is love 
Forever will be 
The flames of love 
Will torment thee
Who bought the lie 
They were sent 
Too late now 
To repent 

God is love 
But love you can't return 
For you're no longer a man 
But an angry worm 
Withering away 
Gnashing your teeth 
Before you is laid 
An eternal wreath

Western Hell

My heart is aching
How it is broken 
A love lost so quickly
That was only just awoken
The beauty of 
The Catholic Bride 
Has suddenly 
In me died

These visions of hell
Cannot be true 
But who am I
And who are you
To speak against
The ancient voice
But my unbelief
Leaves me with no choice

I can't believe
In flesh melting off
As little children
Can barely breathe or cough
Or demons stabbing them
With red hot metal
As steam ascends
Like a boiling kettle

But that's nothing
There are thousands of degrees
Of heat to torture
Oh St Peters keys
How could you approve
Of these fiendish visions
Will you have me now
In full derision

How children will scream 
And scream in hell
No end to their 
Pathetic smell
As like falling snowflakes
The many fall 
Choosing to be 
Deaf to Gods call 

And yet there's hope 
Oh look East 
They have none of this
Wicked yeast 
Jesus Christ 
Is lifted high 
No foolish visions 
To make the gentle cry

I really thought
The west accepted 
The Easts view of hell 
But it's rejected 
And I cannot live 
A lie to tell
I'll never preach 
The westerns hell 

Merciful

Merciful 
Compassionate 
Righteous 
You are the gate 
Spotless 
Showing the Fathers face
Full of truth 
And full of grace

Jesus Christ 
Desire of ages 
Lamb of God
Satan rages 
At your 
Eternal plan 
To shed your blood 
For every man 

You are hope 
You are love 
You send riches 
From above 
You send healing 
You send joy
Come and do
All hell annoy 

Saturday 16 November 2013

Shepherd me Christ

Shepherd me Christ
Good shepherd and lamb
You're all things to me
Send your healing balm 
Into my soul
I thirst for your grace 
I long for your freedom 
To see your gentle face 

What is all 
My sin compared
To the depths of your mercy
For this is what I have heard
My sins though many 
Are drowned in your ocean
Of love and grace 
Oh towards you me motion 

Meet me in
Your sacrament 
Of confession
Oh I repent
Once again 
Of all these sins the same
For mercy to tell me
He bore all the blame

Friday 15 November 2013

The earth is dying

This earth is dying
It won't discriminate 
It will unleash its death
At this hour so late
Upon the righteous and wicked
It will pull all down
And will leave but a few
Souls around 

All creation is groaning 
In the pains of childbirth 
The nations are shaking
All over the earth 
The darkness is assembling
Its last fatal attempt
To burn out the light
All hell has been sent 

These are the days
To lift up your heads 
Your redemption draws near
Wake up from the dead
Christ is coming 
To ever reign 
And put an end 
To all his children's pain 

Keep the faith 
Hold on tight
Though the enemy rages
At your little light 
Shine it out
In these dark cold days
And hope will remain
For the soul who still prays

When you see a typhoon

When you see a typhoon
Do you start to wonder
Is God really good
With pain do you ponder
Who would leave a child
Sitting on the street
His mum and Dad dead
And he has nothing to eat 

Do you begin to fear
That God isn't there
Or perhaps in worry think
He maybe just doesn't care
Are you able to give 
A reason for your hope
Or do the distant questions
In your mind make you not cope

Where can you go
When the answers fail
Where will you flee
When children look so pale 
No daily bread
Family all dead 
A stone for a pillow 
Cold ground for a bed 

The demons are howling 
Creation is groaning
The earth is shaking
The seas are moaning 
The King is coming 
The end is near
Now's the time 
To banish fear 

All is not 
As it appears
The righteous are being taken
To save them from tears
Of the time 
Of trouble awakening 
Be still as God in love
Is all things shaking 

This is the time
To know your God
This is the time
To feed on The Lord
This is the time
For faith to arise
To feed the orphans 
And heed their cries 

What's God like?

What is God like
Look to His Son
What is God like
Look at what He done
Offered himself up
Upon a lonely tree
Bled and died for all
Yes for you and me 

Can mercy end 
Or forever does it endure
Will love change 
Can we know for sure
Jesus Christ the same 
Today and yesterday 
And forever and ever 
Oh magnify the Lord Yahweh 

What is fire like
Are you baptised in it
Holiness and love
Can seem like a dark pit
To the evil wicked 
Who hate grace and goodness 
Forever they will rage 
Curse and never bless

Oh rejoice you poor
Needy broken sinner
God upon the cross 
Has made you the winner
How the proud shall flee
The self righteous tormented
Oh rejoice you that mourn 
All you that have lamented 

Oh all hail the Holy Lamb
Born to save us all 
Oh answer speedily 
To his mercy call
For if you ignore
Love until the end
You will own a will 
That not even God can mend

Lover of my soul

Oh lover of my soul
To thee do I flee
When the enemies lies
Begin to torment me
I behold your beauty
In the face of your son
Perfect in mercy
To thee do I run 

For you pursue me
In the depth of my sin
You break bread with me
You long to come in 
And dwell with sinners
You never change 
Though men your gospel
Try to rearrange 

Oh perfect lover
Perfect King 
Perfect salvation 
All shall sing 
Those redeemed
And those damned 
Will bow the knee
To the Holy Lamb

Tuesday 12 November 2013

Come Holy Spirit

God they're broken
God they're weak 
God they're your people
God each one seek
In they're destruction
And absolute devastation
Oh come Holy God
And heal this great nation 

I have no words to say 
When I watch the news
I just sit in emptiness
And I feel so confused
Until I ponder 
Upon the cross
I begin to see
All is not loss

Oh Suffering King
Stoop down low 
And to the Philippines 
Holy Spirit do go
Rescue many 
Who are hungry and sick
Oh send us out
Send us quick 

Many did you reap
Into your heavenly nation
Men see death 
Where you see salvation
All is not 
Quite as it appears
Come King of love
And destroy all our fears

War

Let's admit it
The world is at war
There's a spiritual battle
Deep to its core
Demons are ascending
From the pit of hell 
With their vile lies
The world they do tell 

Oh how much they hate 
The Holy Bride 
They form denominations
Who cannot abide
In the truth 
So they join the ranks of hell
And march in disunity 
Their hate to sell 

Let Angels descend
In Holy purity 
And join with the Church 
In Holy Unity
Let our prayers ascend 
In one accord 
Let's touch the mercy
Of our Holy Lord

Anti-Catholics

They hate the bride
Oh deadly hearts
They practice satanic
Magic arts
Hopeless protesters
Tongues untamed
The Holy Church
They have defamed

When judgement begins
At the house of God
Oh how they cheer
How they applaud
Thinking that God
Must hate them so
When men just reap
All that they sow

God is love
Oh fool don't hate
His judgements are sure
Though they do wait
Though the afflictions
Of the righteous be many
They will all go free
When they have paid the last penny

But what of you
Oh healthy one
No pangs in death
How your wealth will run
Away from you
On judgement day
To hell go the wicked
To forever pay

Prayer

To pray 
Is to truly believe 
Keep pestering God
And never Him leave
Alone at all
Till an answer prevails
Prayer touches His heart 
And never fails

Pray pray
It's time to pray
Don't give up
Don't delay 
Please pray
Every day 
Oh come and hear
What I say 

I've been neglecting
Prayer a lot 
No wonder my soul
Did begin to rot
But the pain of absent
Prayers did guide
Me back again 
To the saviours side 

Oh pray pray 
Always draw near
How prayer can banish 
Every fear 
When times get dark 
And worry drops by 
Pray to the one 
Who will hear every cry 

Sunday 10 November 2013

The Remnant

They hate the Catholic Bride
These self proclaimed remnant
The nasty things they say of her
Shows they have not been sent
To proclaim Christ's goodnews 
They're lost in their day
To despise the Holy Body
Will be a price too high to pay 

They love and believe
The lies of hells gates
That ever attacks Gods Bride
Oh how the wicked hate
And slander what is pure 
Oh what can be done
For those who love these lies
Let's pray to Gods dear Son

Christ have mercy 
On the Adventist people
Christ draw them home
Safe under your steeple
Forgive them Holy Father 
They know not what they do
Oh Christ send them grace
And give them what is true 

Shut

Nothing in this world 
Is secure
Little in this age
Is perfect and pure
Oh keep your eyes fixed 
On things above  
For all that will remain
Is faith, hope and love 

Nothing else 
Shall remain
All men's riches
Are so vain 
They could be gone 
In the blink of an eye
And this very night
You could die 

What will matter 
As you stand before
The King of all
Hopes only door
That you never 
Did walk through 
And it is shut
Shut to you 

Friday 8 November 2013

Jesus alone

Jesus you alone 
Are my only hope 
As I look in your face
I am able to cope
When I feel the weight 
Of all my sin 
Yet still you comfort
And draw me in 

Into your mercy  
Into your grace
When I want to give up
I behold your face 
So gentle 
So kind
Even when 
I'm stupid and blind 

Oh Jesus my Lord 
I love you so much 
I crawl to your house
Your Body to touch 
First to confession
To hear you say 
I absolve you my child 
Be so blessed today

Love

Love died 
Upon a cross
Love suffered
Absolute loss
Love was left
All alone
Love gave up
His Royal throne 

Love suffered
Beyond compare
Love was left
Naked and bare
Love seeked
Until He found
Love was spilled out
Upon the ground

Love befriends
Hopeless sinners
Love makes loosers
Eternal winners 
Love demonstrated 
What love is like 
Love endured 
Each painful strike 

Love even 
Loves sinful me
Love stoops
And sets me free
Love waits 
And always forgives
Love died
So I could live

Thursday 7 November 2013

Lonely eye

Take me God
And flood me with light
Then break me apart
And send me out into the night
Where men sit 
In lonely silence
Tortured by this worlds
Mental violence 

Oh God let me
Show the way
The only path
That's bright as day 
Holy Catholic 
Truth that preaches 
The one true Christ
She ever reaches

Take me God 
Here am I
Bid me my King 
To come and die 
For I cannot bear 
To hear another cry 
Falling from a hurt souls
Lonely eye 

Unity's call

Oh world 
That in darkness sits
That feels the flames
Of hells pits
While the children of light
Bicker and fight
We allow the demons
To enter this night 

And the world aches
For love to see
So their chains can fall
And they go free
But the children of light 
Separate
There's little love 
And too much hate

Unite oh living 
Body of Christ 
So the nations may know
How high they're priced
Let all protesting 
Now be gone 
And may East meet West
And kiss her dawn 

Oh come be One
For unity frees
There's one way alone 
Only one given the keys 
Come under the head
Whom Christ appointed 
To feed His Lambs 
Thus He was annointed

It's pride alone 
That keeps us apart
Each preferring our own way
Breaking Gods heart 
Oh why must we perish 
As knowledge we lack 
It's time every child 
To the One Church came back 

Sometimes

Sometimes all 
That I can see
Is suffering, pain
No one free
Hate, sadness
Loneliness, despair
Shame, poverty 
Few that do care 

And the world gets darker
And fears abound
And few can pick themselves
Up from the ground
Fallen so low 
Into empty pain 
Mental torture
As the world goes insane

Come into 
My soul this night
Let me be 
Your shining light
Bringing hope 
To all who hurt
Who think their worth 
About as much as dirt 

Oh Catholic faith 
Your the worlds last hope
For too long many Christians
Have despised your pope
Preferring their own 
Wisdom above all
While the world weeps
Deaf to divisions call

Oh when will all 
Christians arise
And be one
Not each other despise
Give up now 
All our pride
Open heavens gates
Let unity fling them wide

Your wounds do show

We cling to idols
Of money and food
For we have not 
Fully understood
How God will never 
Us forsake
It's time all Christians 
Did awake 

Seek first His kingdom
And all other things
Will be ours
For God brings
Daily all 
That we need
Do you think for nothing 
God did bleed 

Stay upon faith 
Rest right there
Don't for a moment 
Have One care 
That in the future
You will lack provision
Upon such a thought
Oh pour derision 

And when famines
And floods arise
Be still and never 
God despise
For this world 
Is not your home
He's preparing you for  
His eternal Rome 

High Masses 
Every hour 
Oh souls delight
To empower 
The pilgrims down
On earth below 
Become a Saint 
Your wounds do show 

Oh rest my soul

Oh rest my soul 
Alone in God
He is your peace 
The living Lord
When all about
Is dark and decay
Oh rejoice in God
Every day 

He is perfect
No wrong can do
When all falls apart
He rescues you
Though he waits
To deliver
Forsake shall He
Oh no never 

Be at peace
All shall pass
This world is fading
Now fading fast
Yet those who trust
In God always 
Shall remain
Eternal days 

God dies

You've numbered my hairs
Burst forth in joyful song 
The Father does love you 
In his kingdom you belong 
Ask Abba 
For whatever you need
And upon his Word
Oh child daily feed

Not a sparrow 
Falls to the ground 
Unless it's Gods will
Oh his love does abound 
Peace be still 
To you in your trials
In the midst of them
May you find many smiles 

Do you really know 
How deeply loved you are 
How God is ever with you
Though he seems often far
Will you let 
Faith arise 
And look to the cross daily
As your God dies 

Songs in the desert

Songs in the desert 
Joy in the pain
Peace in the madness
As in us God reigns 
Love in distress
Hope in dismay 
Embracing our cross
Never ceasing to pray 

For the lost
The sinner in despair
Our wounds can heal
As we daily care 
Offering up 
All our trials and sorrows
For a lost souls
New tomorrow

Oh come lift up
Your heads weary
Salvation draws nigh 
Let us beseech Blessed Mary
Plead your sufferings 
As Holy prayers 
Not forgetting the Father
Has numbered all of your hairs 

Oh my God

Oh my God
Men should be afraid 
Of the narrow path 
You have made 
You make it hard
You make it straight
To enter through 
Heavens gate 

I'm a hopeless sinner
Who likes to fall
And yet the saviour
Does always call
To keep me on
The narrow way for sure
He can make the worst
So rich and pure 

Just believe 
The demons say
And all is well
Along the way
But that's a lie 
You've to come and die
The road to heaven 
Will make you cry 

If it's hard for the righteous 
To be saved 
What of the ungodly
Who have misbehaved
Walking along 
The road so broad
Worshipping themselves
As if they are God 

Dark cold night

If God is here
Why do we worry
If God is in control 
Why do we hurry 
Does the darkness
Terrify 
Does suffering 
Make us wonder why 

Have we given up
On hope
Have we given up
We just can't cope
With these days
That grow so dark
The daily news 
Appears so stark 

Oh flee away
To your Rock
Hide in Him 
Oh weary flock
Until the storms
Of life do pass
Ache to run
To Daily Mass

It seems so hard
I just can't move
Paralysed with fear 
None can soothe
Oh come and hold me
Oh so tight 
To bear me through 
This dark cold night 

It's just one day

It's just one day
We've been given
That is all
So let's be living
You can make it
In Gods strength 
In his love
It's breath it's length 

Wake up 
Oh precious one
Turn straight to God
His only Son
Cast the day 
Upon your God
And peace be still
Before your Lord

Then do something 
In your day
No matter what it is
Always stop and pray
Walk with God 
During each passing hour
And trust in Him
And his mighty power 

Before you go 
To Bed at night 
Talk to Him 
Before you turn off the light
You made it through 
The little day
Fear not tomorrow 
God will again make a way

Tormenting love

The most wicked men
God does love
For the ungodly the vile
He came from above 
For the Stalins the Hitlers
The Savilles the Whores
Unending grace saves
Unending love pours 

For all the evil 
In the world there be
God paid for it all
On Calvary
And the unhappiest soul
You shall ever see
Is the one who hates 
That the wicked go free

That is hell 
That's torment 
That's anger 
That's lament 
The soul who hates
That God is love
Will dwell in hell
Not high above 

Oh tormenting love
Tormenting King 
Your unending flames
Crackle and sing 
As songs of mercy
Never end at all 
While the self righteous rage
And fall and fall 

Hell is trembling

Hell is trembling 
In terror and fear 
For Gods mercy
All men will hear
In these last days
Where evil does reign
Gods mercy is falling 
Like unending rain 

Pray pray pray
Oh you that do believe 
Pray for every man 
Never God do leave
Beg him for his mercy
That on all it will fall
Let hope rise in victory 
As we to all men call

Darkness tremble 
The light is burning  
Let all the nations
To God now be turning 
Lift up your voice 
Oh perfect bride
And declare for all
How God has died 

Demons panic 
Confusion calls
Satans plan
Forever falls
The saints in prayer 
The final war
Hell weeps
More and more 

Oh God who changes not

Oh God who changes not
Perfect in love and mercy
Your hope saves the hopeless
And ever sets them free
Your compassion angers the wicked
Your all merciful presence does them torment 
Many who shout your name now
Will on judgement day lament 

Not knowing your infinite goodness
That draws men to repent
Your perfect love casts out fear
For fear it does torment 
Those who know your name 
Who know you as Father
Will run to you in hope
As all your sheep you gather 

Oh God who's righteousness reigns
You are too good to do anything wrong
To wise to make a mistake 
Unto eternal ages we shall sing your song
How mercy has indeed triumphed 
Over judgement on the cross
Those who prefer you punish 
Will weep in their eternal loss 

Oh men do lock the doors
Lost in their own hellish thoughts 
As eternal love torments them
They loved lies and them they bought
Who can save such people 
As they reject the God they would not know
They held unto lies and hate
Into their own hell they all must go

Weeping and gnashing their teeth
Like the angry Pharisees who once raged 
At Gods merciful Son 
How in their evil they will age and age
Becoming worms not men 
Lost to the purpose they were created
To shine forth everlasting love 
But all they knew and did was hated 

Tuesday 5 November 2013

Motionless

The world moves by
As I sit motionless
People go to and fro
In their work to bless
Many find purpose 
Some find joy
I stay here 
None can me employ 

God be my comfort
God be my friend 
God be with me 
My thoughts do mend
That I am worthless
Nothing to give 
Why should I wake up 
Why should I live 

A simple poem 
To give away
Will it touch 
Some one today 
Some one as low
As weeping I 
That life has seemed to 
Pass us by

But God we are more
Than what we do
We are worth your blood
How this is true 
Though the world 
Makes us feel so small
Come raise us up 
Help us stand so tall

Upon a Cross

The questions been answered
Upon a cross
God loves you 
None need suffer loss
Just draw near 
As He bids you dear one
To embrace the full mercy
Of Gods only Son

Do you see 
Your sin and your shame
Ponder this deeply 
Let it be your only aim
To know why 
God had to die
To pursue you to death 
And be where you lie 

Though you make 
Your bed in Hell
God is there 
His love to tell
Will you at least
Give some time today
To eternal matters 
For Gods sent me your way 

Love

Love don't leave me
Quench my thirst
Love be near me 
For I'm the worst 
Love destroy 
All that I am
Love in me conquer 
Don't me dam 

Love quieten 
My emptiness
Love still
My anxiousness
Love be there 
In my loneliness
Love lie down 
And with me rest 

Love dance 
Away my strife 
Love breathe 
Me back to life
Love sit 
And stay with me
Love always 
Set me free 

Heaven

I've thought on hell 
Now let heaven be
Filling my thoughts
Bringing mental liberty
No pain no sadness
No cold or death
No tears no horror
No rape none deaf

No crutches no spectacles
No measles no mumps
No litter no rubbish 
No smells no dumps
No wheelchairs no paedophiles 
No hate no orphans
No funerals no weeping 
No bones no coffins 

Just joy just peace 
Just love and grace
Just beauty and honour
And face to face 
Tenderness holiness 
Purpose and delight 
Just unending happiness
And eternal light 

No porn no abortions 
No crime no pride
No hospitals no war
No wounds to hide
No murder no stealing 
No bullying no division
No depression no anxiety 
No pouring derision 

Oh heaven call 
Call out to me 
Let me ever ponder 
And think about thee
For most of all
What makes you best 
Will be eternal Mass
And my King still to digest 

Burning hope

Burning hope
Baptise me with fire
Let your truth 
Lift me higher 
Truth that ever 
Frees and awakes
Flaming inside
Fire that never aches 

You remain 
All else is gone
My health my wealth
Not even the dawn 
Greets me as 
Depression steals
Yet Christ's joy remains
He daily heals 

If God should flee
Life would be vain
Even though I carry
Deadly unfeeling pain
God remains
My hope and song 
Without God 
I don't belong 

Stay with me God
Do not pass by
Have mercy Son of David
Hear me cry 
Save the nations 
Save them all
Who can endure
An unending fall

Will mercy stop

Will mercy stop 
Will love end 
For the person 
Who will not bend
His will
To the Fathers ways
Will hope fade
In endless days

Or is it love
That blazes 
Is it mercy
That gazes 
Into wicked 
Hateful eyes
As the eternal God 
They despise

How they must writhe 
In deep agony
As God reigns
And they're not free
Forever hating 
The truth so pure
There's no way to escape
This one so pure 

All is joy
All is peace 
But the wicked are dead
And their hate does increase 
Weeping and gnashing 
In angry pain 
The wicked remain 
Eternally insane 

What is hell like?

Will flesh melt away
In piercing flames
Will hot claws rip through 
With perfect aims
Will you be trapped 
Unable to breathe 
So black and dark 
What do you believe 

Does this make hitler
Look like a saint
His torment endured
Only until men did faint
But to keep the flames
Ever burning hot
To torment and torture 
The evils wicked lot 

Or is hell eternal love
That feels so tormenting 
To be in Gods presence
With no way of repenting
Or returning the love 
To the one who died
Yet with His mercy
You must forever abide 

Oh come Gods people 
Let us proclaim 
The everlasting God
Who remains the same
Unchanging unending
Love that fills all
The redeemed the dammned
Hear me call

The wicked raised
To endure 
Eternal wrath 
This is for sure
But they themselves
Lock the door
To escape the light
That is ever pure 

Still fire breaks through 
God fills all in all
There's no where to hide
No escaping wall
God reigns 
From age to age 
While the wicked weep
And rage and rage 

Oh God of hope

Oh God of hope
My comfort be
My rest my salvation 
How I love thee
When I ponder
Upon all your ways
You fill me with joy
All my days 

Your eternal victory 
Over the grave
Your salvation goes forth
In hope All to save 
For your triumph  
Knows no bounds
You are infinite love
Who forever hounds 

You alone
Hold hells keys
Darkness before you
Ever flees 
Your enemies fall down
Before your weakness
You uphold nations
In your meekness 

My rock my King
Exalt your fame
Every knee will bow
Before your name
Every tongue confess
You are Lord 
Bear forth your victorious 
Mighty healing sword 

Monday 4 November 2013

God my friend

God you're my friend
I call you my Dad
I know you so well
I know you're not bad
I know you love all
That your mercy endures
Forever and ever 
It doesn't terrorize but cures 

But what of the wicked 
The demons and men
Those who reject you
To the very end 
What is your justice 
What is your wrath
Will you be blind to their torment
To those who took the wrong path

Is the fire and flames
The very God who does dwell
In every place and time
Even in the deepest pit of hell
Is the wickeds anger 
And their tormenting pain 
Seeing your victory 
And your eternal reign

I need truth

I need the truth
More than I need food
I need mercy 
I have understood
I can't live 
Without Christ's teaching
I need all He said
To My God I am reaching 

I have found his fullness
In His Church so true
She's his creation 
For me and for you
Where else 
Can you be forgiven
And find all of Christ 
And Holy Living

Her Baptism 
Washes away sin
Her Rich grace
Calls all to come in
And eat the Lamb
Who for sinners slain
To be divinised 
With God to reign 

In God

In God I am secure 
In God I have peace 
In God I embrace hope
In God it does increase 
In God I lack nothing
In God I have all
In God I kiss joy
In God I shall not fall
In God I bathe in mercy
In God I'm ever healed
In God I swim in Grace
In God I'm fully sealed 
In God I am alive 
In God fear dies
In God love reigns 
In God hell cries
