Time Time is of Essence Time has made it's demand Death & destruction are riding across the land Our children are dying Our parents are crying Is there anyone who can come to the rescue Is there anyone who can save you We are mere Mortals falling apart Simply because, we WON'T change our hearts To busy to pray, to busy to seek To mean to turn the other cheek! Oh God our Father, hear my prayer Rescue your people with your loving care Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us Oh Lord have mercy upon us For there are some of us who really care The devil is sifting us like wheat in a barn Tearing apart families & causing great harm Rise from your throne & rescue your land Please change the heart of the deceitful man

A Visitors' Perspective (Church Folk) I was considered a visitor - when I walked thru the church doors I was the kinda girl everyone had seen before My skirt (too high) my shirt (too low) Yeah I saw the church folk turn up their nose I only stopped by - out of curiosity to see The difference between: the world, the church, and me What I discovered shocked my heart I honestly couldn't tell the world or the church apart Yeah there was clapping and singing, BUT you could tell it was just a show Cause when the music stopped-church folk didn't shout no' more When the lady was praying, she mentioned people like me The kind who make a living, working on the street But I couldn't help but wonder, if these church folk were really like God Why this place feel like a social club But I'm on the outside At least in the club a stranger will speak And the bartender-always offers you a seat That mean ole usher didn't welcome me at the door She looked at me like "well what you here for?" When the preacher got up to finally speak I counted 4 people with one bible each This was disturbing to watch and observe I thought on Sundays', Christians' brought the bible with them to learn There was talking and walking, while the preacher preached One hundred and one people, doin their own thang... Once in a while someone shouts " Amen" I had been in this service an hour or two Subconsciously thinking, so this is what church folk do Sunday after Sunday-they just playing the part Professing to have Jesus-down in their hearts I was wondering-who "their" Jesus could really be? Especially when their hating and gritting On people like me As the service was ending-I was headed for the door That mean ole usher whispered The christian invitation- you must wait for The preacher was calling for the sinful and the lost He was yelling-"come join the christian cause" Of course there were some who glimpsed at me They were crazy to think-this was a place I'd be! If being a christian meant half of what I saw I'll stay in the world, not a church hall Some of them folks-didn't display... Jesus at all, that's why I ignored that preachers call Apart of this mess I shall not be... Them people ain't much different from me!

What is HIS Love Like I liked HIM when I met him Even though I barely knew him His charisma, His charm I felt HE would do me no harm He courted me, HE loved me More than I loved myself HE treats me like there's no one else I'm caught, I'm drawn I'm never gonna leave - His love makes me believe. I don't even mind being submissive Because I'm first and HE never dismisses My thoughts, my tears, my pain, or my fears In the midst of it all, HE whispers Im here He's never missed a moment Always helping me see HIS LOVE brings out the best in me I can't really explain what HIS LOVE is like All I know is HIS LOVE Makes everything ALRIGHT

I AM Who is I AM? What is I AM? Where is I AM? How does I AM exist? I AM, says HE is who HE is I AM says HE is EVERYTHING I or you will ever need I AM says HE is the BEGINNING I AM says HE is the END I AM says HE is, HE was, and HE is to come I AM ask you and I WHO are we? I AM ask you and I WHAT have you done w/your LIFE thus far I AM ask WHERE you spending ETERNITY I say I am spending it with you, The GREAT I AM For you have been EVERYTHING I've ever needed In you I can hide my pain, and my shame In you my sorrow NO LONGER controls tomorrow I am SAFE with I AM Do you know "I AM"? I AM says HE is GOD!
