No More Stones (Needs Autobiography and Devotional)


No More Stones

I’ve walked this Road
With no one by my Side
I’ve walked this Road
With no one in Front and no one Behind
-All I’ve collected in my Years is these Stones
Stones I’ve Dodged became Stones I’ve Thrown
Years of getting Stones on this Road paved with Sadness then Madness
Years of getting Stones when I begged for Bread from Hearts that should have tended Mine
Chorus: But Yahweh I’ve never walked this Road Alone
Cause You wanted to pave it Clear with Gold
Cause of the Choices I have Made
All I’ve ever walked is Dirty and Broken
But this whole Time I should have Known
You were always by my Side
How my World would have Changed
If I had called upon Your Name
If I had called upon Your Name
Today I am Asking
For a Life of No More Stones
-All I’ve known despite my friendly Smile
Alone I’ve caused cause all I’ve known is Fight or Flight
Years of getting Alone with the Monsters under my Bed in the Night
Years of getting Alone when I begged for Love from these Hearts that should have tended to Mine
Chorus: But Yahweh I’ve never walked this Road Alone
Cause You wanted to pave it Clear with Gold
Cause of the Choices I have Made
All I’ve ever walked is Dirty and Broken
But this whole Time I should have Known
You were always by my Side
How my World would have Changed
If I had called upon Your Name
If I had called upon Your Name
Today I am Asking
For a Life of No More Stones
- All I’ve collected in my Years is Gone
Stones I’ve Dodged became a Castle and a Home
Years of getting Hugs instead Bruises and Broken Bones
Years of getting Bread and a Place at the Table instead of Shame I’ve Known
Years of getting Held instead of Punching through my Private Walls of Hell Alone
Years of getting Living Water instead of Bitterness from my Heart’s Deep Well of a Hole
-Cause you’ve got my Front and my Back
And all I’ve never walked with these Warrior Angels by my Sides
All I’ve collected in my Years is Gone
Today I am Thankful For
A Life of No More Stones

Prayer for Those Who Need No More Stones

Yahweh by Our Side
The God of Time and Space
The Spirit who is in our Past, our Present and our Future
We thank You for being with us in our Darkness
We thank you for offering Your Hand when we refused It
We thank you for being the Light even when we wouldn’t See
We thank you for drawing a Map even if we wouldn’t Read
We Thank You for seeing the Road Ahead
We Thank You for removing the Stones even we pulled them back on our Path
We Thank You for planting Roses even where we dropped seeds for all our Weeds
We ask You to come into our Chaos and bring Order in a Moment
We ask You to turn this Life into a Mission for Your Kingdom
Despite the Years we wasted building our own little “Empire of Dirt”
Because You are Yahweh by Our Side
The God of Time and Space
The Spirit who is the Historian of our Past
The Salvation of our Present
The Reminder of our Future

“Yeshua said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty.”
John 6:35 TLV

Silence is, Silence is,   My Silence is killing You and me Its just the same People dying inside and out   Every sin

Crowns (Needs Autobiography and Devotional)

Who Gives The Crowns Today it has come, the end of your line. Burned all your days down, turned to smoke all your time. You’ve left us a long trail of love-I hope your children will follow behind Brought Faith like a Stone, it doesn’t shake-I hope its stays when in blows the night What Will We Remember, The Laughter and Grief With Strings on our Fingers With Stones from the Ground With Books full of Pictures With Ghosts of the Good Times that Linger Around Chorus: What We Will Remember, It Doesn’t Matter Cause G-d Gives the Crowns No Matter How the Ravens Steal Good Seeds from Their Ground Today it has come, for the final drive Knock on the door, after this morning/mourning it won’t open twice You’ve Left us some Rumors, Inuendos to find Girl They’ll say You were Crazy, They’ll say You were Wild They’ll never know You How you ran a Good Race, How You Gave it a Helluva of Fight Or How You did your Best With the Thorns in your Side Wha

Grenades in the Garden

GRENADES IN THE GARDEN  This body is not Broken Not missing all my Blood Though I am barely Breathing Though I don’t have the wounds I Should These thoughts they have been Rusted Cause I don’t think about nothing but the Rain How about you? This trust it has been permanently Busted Cause I can’t find the bandage and I can’t find the Glue How about you? Chorus: Invisible is this War They can’t see its mortars in my mind They can’t see its bullets piercing through my youth They can’t see the flares lighting up declaring I need Love They can’t see the Signals or read the Codes or send a Rescue to my Shores Invisible is this War Inside of Me How about you? -There are grenades out in the Garden Not really it’s just in my Head Though I’ve seen them rob me of my Brothers Though now they all explode as I turn all night in my Bed - These thoughts they have been Rusted Cause I don’t think about nothing but the Rain How about you? This Calm it has been permanently Surrendered Cause in my b
