If this be my cross

If this be my cross
I bear it with hesitant gladness
But is it a cross
Or my own subtle madness
Let me press into you 
And see if this sadness remains 
Let Adoration be mine
Come crush my lonely pains

Pains of illogical depression 
Oh give me Daily Mass 
Awaken discipline in me 
Let me not drive past
Your house my King 
With a foolish fleeting choice 
Let me enter in 
And there do raise my voice 

My poems get shorter 
The lower I feel 
But fewer words 
Can help others heal 
Not much to say 
Just fall down 
Into unfailing love
O God let me drown

Let the darkness comfort me
Wrap it's pain around me
If my God it's your will 
That others walk free 
Make me a martyr 
Though I'd rather my blood be shed
Than to sit in sorrow 
As my soul is slowly bled

Undone

Let go and trust God
He will save you whole
Give up your very self
Tis Christ's only goal
To see you come to the end
Of all that you are 
Like a drowning man
Who's lost all of his power 

Let Christ be to you
The life saving guard
I know you still want to swim
To stop is very hard
But let go and fall
Into everlasting arms
Give up all your strength 
You won't come to any harm

Christ Christ is the way 
Behold his salvation 
On a cross crucified
Crying it is done
Accomplished all things are
Through the risen Son
Oh give up, give up
Time you were undone

He's got you

He's got you
Don't you know
When all is dark 
And you're lower than low
He's got you 
Beloved one
When you can't see
And you're undone

Even the darkness
Is light to Christ
In his light you'll see
How high you're priced
He's got you
Don't you know 
He sees every tear 
And every woe

He's got you

Relax

Relax, 
Deep breath 
To satans voice 
Be deaf
Hear your Father
Deep call unto deep
He loves you 
No longer weep

Fear not
His arms are around you
Anxiety flee
God's love for you is true 
Darkness despair
God is here
Demons tremble
With eternal fear

Unbelievably believable

It's unbelievably believable
The Holy Catholic truth 
From beginning to end 
It offers absolute proof 
Like a hungry lion released 
From its holy cage 
The lamb kisses all
From age to blessed age

O Holy Catholic truth 
I kiss you too 
Where would earth be now 
Without Holy you
There is nothing on this earth 
Compared to blessed thee 
Oh holy head of the Church 
Never let me be

Heaven's choir sings

Welcome the darkness
With your will
Hide the crucifix
Oh so ill
Ignore the saints
On icons of glory
Hell could be
Your eternal story

Welcome the darkness
That pleasure brings
Sit alone 
The torment sings
The pleasure you chose
For a brief little moment 
Has left you empty
And pitifully dormant

This poem helped me
Choose the light
Pull the blinds
Now all is bright
The joy that 
Holiness brings
Is beyond compare
Heavens choir sings

Coffee or Tea

Coffee or tea
Bagels or toast
Outside fallen leaves
On the roads coast 
Golden brown 
Trees half bare 
Remind me of I
Oh don't stop and stare 

Life is good 
Even with bipolar
I enjoy the good things
As I am made holier
To live with me 
You would think not
But God sees the heart 
And all it has got

Him, him
My heart has Him
Though it loves 
Stupid sin 
Change it God
Inside out
Take away the stone 
Cast it out 

Coffee or tea
The choice is made
Bagel or toast
You've come to my aid
Choice you always 
Us do give
Christ or Satan
Who for will you live
