Two Steps Back

I was hated. You loved me.
I cried. You consoled me.
I was rejected. You accepted me.
I stumbled. You helped me get up.

You loved me. I was changed.
You consoled me. I smiled.
You accepted me. I belonged.
You helped me. I strove harder.

Then a storm came,
Water gushed and plunged into the deep.
I never knew not.
But I never resisted, I drowned.

I was changed. I was hated.
I smiled. I cried.
I belonged. I felt rejected again.
I strove harder. I stumbled even more painful.

What now, Lord?
I feel no one really listens to me anymore.
I wait for Your instruction. I need Your help, forgiveness and love.
Are You listening?

Slumber

A peaceful sleep is God's blessing
A sweet reward for the tired spirit
Slumber into the arms of the Sandman
And dream of castles in sinking sand
Ravens hover over the dark terrain
And the moonlight shines aglow
Sad as the rain clouds may fall
The boy is undisturbed amidst the chaos of silence

He Is Not Here

He is not here... He has risen!

Don't let your hearts be troubled
He has rose from the grave
By His ressurection
and His death we are saved

He is not here... He has risen!

So come now don't be ashamed
He is calling you
As His sons and daughters
With a life anew

He is here... in our midst!
He has risen... and He lives.
