WHAT
DID WE DO TODAY
CHILD
TO BUILD
THE KINGDOM?

God
I thought it was a secret

IT WAS
FOR A LITTLE WHILE

I think it still should be
for who knows
what the future really holds?

I DO

Oh yeah, I forgot
Ok
we wrote words
for a CAPTAIN so fine
They are words to keep the ship
"ship shape"
They are words to follow
to keep this ship on course
They are words of the wealth
of the Kingdom

THESE WORDS
WILL BE A REWARD
FOR A MAN AFTER HIS WAR
EXPERIENCE
THIS MAN MUST FIGHT
THROUGH
HIS FEARS AND HIS LONGINGS
THIS MAN WILL FIGHT
UNTO DEATH
DEATH
OF HIS
OWN DESIRES AND HOPES
AND THUS
AS I HAVE REWARDED YOU
I WILL SURELY
REWARD HIM
WITH
THE BEST
OF
THE KINGDOM

You
are surely
a FAITHFUL God

God
I am sorry about yesterday
I'm sorry that I "advance" against You
I don't mean to
Its all in the knowing
and discovering
of You

I KNOW
CHILD
AND I DO ENJOY IT
IT IS AS A MATCH IN A GAME
YOU
SPARK ME ON
YOU
CHALLENGE ME
AND I DO LOVE
A CHALLENGE

It doesn't hurt You?

NO
FOR I KNOW
THE HEART AND SPIRIT
OF THE BATTLE
YOU
ALWAYS KNOW
THAT YOU HAVE LOST
BUT
YOU BATTLE ON
WITH
THAT SMILE
UPON
YOUR FACE
TRYING TO GET ME
TO
REVEAL MORE
OF MYSELF
SO THAT YOU KNOW ME
DEEPER AND DEEPER

That's true
I could just obey
but what fun would that be
for either one of us?

I'M SORRY
THAT I MUST GO SO DEEP
BUT YOUR HURTS AND WOUNDS
ARE VERY DEEP
FROM YOUR BATTLES
YOU THINK THAT
TO FORGIVE
REMOVES THE WOUNDS
BUT IT DOESN'T
ENTIRELY
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY
TO TRULY
REMOVE THE WOUNDS
AND YOU WILL KNOW
THE COMPLETION OF THAT
IN THE COMING DAYS
 
God, I hurt tonight
because I heard of one of the youth
from the former church
who is being destroyed
and then I remembered the vision
of the youth room
and I wondered how many others
are there that are also being destroyed
I could do something to help
But I am held at bay

AND YES
I ALLOWED YOU
TO HEAR THAT STORY
FOR YOU WILL PUT ASIDE
YOUR HURTS
TO HEAL
THE
WOUNDED AND ABUSED
YOU FORGET
YOUR OWN BATTLES
WHEN
YOU SEE OTHERS HURTING
IT MADE YOU
WANT TO STEP IN
AND
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
WHETHER
YOU ARE INVITED
OR NOT

But I won't, will I?

NO
FOR YOU
WOULD NOT HAVE
THE COVERING
THAT YOU NEED
TO BATTLE
FOR THESE LIVES
IF
YOU WENT
BEFORE ALL
WAS IN PLACE

I am still sorry about yesterday
I do love You

DON'T
YOU KNOW
THAT THOSE WOUNDS
OF YOURS
ARE PRECIOUS TO ME?
THEY WERE CUT DEEP
INTO YOUR
HEART AND SOUL
BECAUSE
OF YOUR LOVE
FOR ME
THEY ARE NOT OUT
OF MISTAKES
OR ANGER
OR DISOBEDIENCE
THEY
ARE PURELY
OUT OF LOVE
AS MINE WERE

But I am so stubborn
Have You noticed?

NOTHING
THAT I CAN'T HANDLE

I do love You!
May I sing You
this song tonight?
It won't make up for last night
but it will make me feel better

Come bring me Your Softness
Comfort me through all this madness
God, don't You know with You I'm born again?
Come give me Your Sweetness
Now that there is You there is no weakness
Lying safe within Your Arms
I'm born again
I was half not whole
Instead with nothing
Reaching through this world in need of One
Come show me Your Kindness
In Your Arms I know I'll find this
God, don't You know with You I'm born again?
Lying safe with You
I'm born again

May I
hold You this night, my God
and erase all the stubborn words
that I have spoken?
This world has changed me
and sometimes I am so afraid
that I will become like them
but I choose
with all of my heart and soul
to be a child upon Your Lap
a lover upon Your Chest
a friend who listens always
God, remove me
unto You alone
in our quiet hours
that I may be all this
and more to You
For ages You live
and search and look
with Your heart and soul
for that which will love You purely
and I want to be one who does
God, please allow me
this one gift that I may love You
as You have always
in eternity
desired to be loved

YOU
ARE SURELY
MY GIFT
YOU
ARE SURELY
THE DESIRE
OF
MY HEART
YOU
ARE SURELY
THAT FOR WHICH
I HAVE SEARCHED
YOU
ARE SURELY
WHO I SPEND
ALL MY TIME WITH
CONDEMN ME
NEVER
ACCUSE ME
NOT A CHANCE
ASK FOR IDLE THINGS
TO PLEASE YOU
NO WAY

YOU
ASK FOR
MY PLEASURE
AND THAT
MY DAUGHTER
MY CHILD
MY LOVER
MY LIFE
I WILL BRING
UPON
BOTH OF US

***************     oh Baby     ****************

WHERE
DID I TAKE YOU
LAST NIGHT?

To the land of the former church

WHAT
DID I SPEAK TO YOU?

You told me that
You were there to STAY
and had me call for the evil ones
to be removed
You had me call for the land
to be sealed for Your Purposes only
You asked me
to promise You that I would
STAY
once I was called back
no matter
what the people did to me
I did as You asked

WE
ARE READY THEN

That's it?

THAT'S IT
WAS IT
DIFFERENT
IN YOUR OWN HOME?

No, I called for the evil
to be removed and for the land to be sealed
for Your Purposes alone

AND
HAVE I ACCOMPLISHED
ALL THAT
I PROMISED?

Perfectly, my Friend
Absolutely Perfectly

Let's advance!

***

God, I give up!
You have "hounded" me
all day with a vision
What
does it mean?

I'M
GLAD YOU ASKED
I WILL TELL YOU
A SHORT STORY:

THERE WAS
A MAN WHO HAD A DOG
THE DOG WAS CHAINED
WITHIN THE YARD BUT STILL
KNEW SOME FREEDOM
WHEN THE MAN BECAME ANGRY
HE WOULD YELL AT THE DOG
AND CALL IT WORTHLESS
THERE WAS NEVER ANY PHYSICAL ABUSE
BUT THE DOG GREW TO FEAR
THIS MAN FOR HIS WORDS
AFTER JUST A LITTLE WHILE
THE DOG'S SPIRIT
WAS COMPLETELY CRUSHED
A NEIGHBOR SAW THIS HAPPENING
AND ONE DAY CAME
AND STRUCK THE MAN
HE RELEASED THE DOG FROM ITS CHAIN
AND PUT THE CHAINS
ABOUT THE MAN'S FEET
TO TEACH HIM A LESSON
THE FUNNY THING IS THAT THE DOG STAYED
IT DID NOT RUN AWAY
WHEN IT REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED
TO THE MAN
IT BEGAN TO GNAW ON THE CHAINS
ON THE MAN'S FEET
AND LICK HIS HANDS
IT REMEMBERED ALL THE ABUSE
BUT IT ALSO REMEMBERED
THE MANY TENDER MOMENTS
BETWEEN HIM AND THE MAN
IT WANTED THE MAN
TO BE RELEASED AND SET FREE
HE WANTED THE TENDER MOMENTS
TO BE ONCE MORE
SOMETIMES
ACTUALLY MANY TIMES
AS IT STAYED CLOSED
TO THE MAN'S SIDE
IT FEARED
IT FEARED
IF THE MAN SUDDENLY AWOKE
AND HAD NOT CHANGED
BUT IT STILL STAYED
BECAUSE
THE DOG BELIEVED THAT ONE DAY
THERE WOULD BE A CHANGE
IT STAYED

YOU STAYED
CHILD
YOU STAYED THESE 5 YEARS
DESPITE
YOUR FEARS
YOU HAVE NOT LEFT
THE FORMER CHURCH
IN YOUR HEART
YOU HOPE AND YOU PRAY
THAT THE TENDER MOMENTS
WOULD RETURN
THAT WHEN
THE LEADERSHIP
IS FINALLY RELEASED
THAT THEY WILL BE
CHANGED

I AM
THE NEIGHBOR
WHO STRUCK THEM
I STRUCK THEM
HARD
AND WILL CONTINUE TO
UNTIL
THEY REPENT BEFORE YOU
BUT
YOU STAYED
AND
I KNOW THAT
YOU
WILL STAY
UPON THE LAND
ONCE THE CALL TO RETURN
IS MADE
I KNOW YOU WELL
YOU
SEE HOPE AND LOVE
IN PEOPLE
AND YOU DON'T WANT
THE EVIL
TO CROWD IT OUT
YOU
HOPE THAT THE LOVE
WILL COME ALIVE
AND THE HATRED
WILL LEAVE
I HAVE
THE SAME HOPE
WE WILL WORK
ON THE LAND TOGETHER
I PROMISE

Why is my heart
turned inside out this day?
It aches with no relief

IT HURTS
FOR THOSE WHO WANT
TO CHANGE
BUT
DON'T KNOW HOW TO
HOW
DO YOU
MAKE THE MAN
QUIT ABUSING THE DOG?
HOW
DO YOU
CHANGE HIM
AND REMOVE THE EVIL?
ONE STRIKE
AT HIM WON'T DO IT
WHAT
WILL IT TAKE?

I don't know

LOVE
PURE LOVE
AND ITS ALREADY IN ACTION
TRUST ME

*****************

AND WHAT
ARE YOUR THOUGHTS THIS DAY
CHILD
THAT TROUBLE YOU?

I speak the Truth
too blatantly sometimes

WHAT
DO YOU CALL A CHICKEN?

a chicken

WHAT
DO YOU CALL A SNAKE?

a snake

WHAT
DID YOU CALL THE MAN
YESTERDAY WHO TRIED TO REMOVE YOU
FROM PICKETING
AND CALLED THE POLICE
ON YOU?

a bastard

IS HE ONE?

yes

IT WAS
THE TRUTH
AND I TELL YOU
YOUNG DAUGHTER
THAT IS HIS VERY LAST CLUE
THAT HE DOES NOT BELONG
TO ME
THE VERY LAST
HE ATTACKED
TO REMOVE YOU
HE LIED
TO PROVE YOU WRONG
BUT
WHO LOOKED LIKE
A FOOL
IN THE END?
HE DID
HIS END IS NEAR
YOU SPOKE THE RIGHT WORD
IT CAME FROM ME
NOT YOU
HE IS A BASTARD

So much
for a sweet Christian woman
approach to this world

AND
HOW MANY
HAS THAT SAVED
AND BROUGHT TO REDEMPTION?
IT IS TIME
FOR ACTION
IT IS TIME
FOR TRUTH
NOT
SUGAR-COATED GARBAGE
THE CHURCH
HAS HAD YEARS
OF
PACIFYING PEOPLE
AND
TEACHING THEM
ABOUT GRACE
BUT
WHERE IS
THE TRUTH?

THE
TRUTH IS
THAT MOST
OF THE PEOPLE
WHO WALK INTO CHURCHES
ARE BASTARDS
THEY ARE NOT MINE

WHO
IS GOING
TO TELL THEM?
WHO
IS GOING
TO WAKE THEM UP?

Probably me

YOU
GOT THAT RIGHT
I SEND YOU
AND YOU LEAVE EACH PLACE
"SMOKING"
I CAUSED
YOUR MOTORCYCLE
TO "SMOKE" THE OTHER DAY
ON THE WAY
TO AN ASSIGNMENT
YOU
WORRIED ABOUT
YOUR BIKE
BUT
IT WAS SYMBOLIC
AND
THAT IS ALL
YOU
WILL BRING A FIRE
TO
THESE PLACES
AND
LEAVE THEM
"SMOKING"

YOU
TELL THE TRUTH
THEY
ABHOR THE TRUTH

YOU
SPEAK RIGHTEOUSNESS
THEY
PREFER EVIL

YOU
LOOK THEM IN THE FACE
AND TELL THEM
THEIR DESTINY
THEY
PREFER TO BELIEVE
IN GRACE

BUT
I TELL YOU
THE TRUTH
DAUGHTER
I WILL STAND BY YOU
IN THIS
DECLARATION

THAT MAN
YESTERDAY
WILL NOT BE
THE ONLY ONE
THAT YOU CALL A BASTARD
TO THEIR FACE
YOU
WILL SAY MUCH WORSE
AND AS
I HAVE TOLD YOU
BEFORE
SOME WILL EXPIRE
IN
YOUR PRESENCE
IT IS TIME
TO TAKE
THE KINGDOM

IF
VIOLENCE
IS NECESSARY
I WILL
BRING IT FORTH
YOU
MY FRIEND
WILL NOT
LAY A FINGER
ON THEM
BUT
THE WORDS FROM
YOUR MOUTH
WILL SLAY THEM IN STEP
UNDERSTAND?

I guess I better

IT IS TIME, CHILD
THE TIME HAS COME
RISE UP
TO
YOUR CALLING
WITH
NO REGRETS
RISE UP
AND
DESTROY THE EVIL
ONE BY ONE
THEN
TEN BY TEN
THEN
ONE HUNDRED BY ONE HUNDRED
THEN
NATION BY NATION
YOU WILL
CRUSH NATIONS
IN THE
COMING DAYS
WITH THE WORDS
FROM
YOUR MOUTH
IT IS
ALL SET IN MOTION
ALREADY
IT IS
SET AND READY
TO BE
PROCLAIMED
I WILL
OPEN YOUR MOUTH
IN
A NEW WAY
IN JUST
A FEW DAYS
AND MANY
WILL SUCCUMB
TO THIS
NEW RIGHTEOUS RULE
MANY
ACTUALLY ALL
IN
ONE WAY
OR
THE OTHER
THEY WILL ALL SUCCUMB
I HAVE INSTALLED
MY KING
UPON
MY HOLY HILL
I HAVE
I HAVE
I HAVE

undone, i am
get me ready

YOU ARE
BUT
THE WORLD WILL
NEVER
BE READY
FOR WHAT
I HAVE CREATED
WITHIN YOU
NEVER
WILL THEY
FIGURE OUT
HOW TO
THWART YOU
UNTIL
THAT MOMENT
OF YOUR
LAST BREATH
BUT EVEN
THAT IS A TRICK
MY WAY TO WIN
THE FINAL BATTLE
SHALOM, KING

Shalom, my KING!
And in the end, let it only be said that
I loved You
no mention of battles
or conquests or victories
but only that
I loved You
only that
That is all that matters to me
And I do love You
I love You with
my whole heart
mind, soul and body
I am Yours
I am all Yours
