Jokingly, I give myself the name
Though it's not really what I want to be
I act like it's all a game
Seeing them not see me
Sudden struck by the realization
I might be the one that meets the eye
But the purpose of this new creation
Is to Another glorify
So I will not mind the shadows
If it's Him that takes the light
He is the One that truly matters
If no one sees me, I'll be alright.

Cracked
Beat up bruised been
Battered and cracked
I play the hand dealt to me
Even if the cards are stacked
Tendency to be used
Been judged when I lacked
Been brutally abused
Always under attack
The haters always hate
But lovers aren't always lovin'
But I still appreciate
All the love, still lovin'
You can call me what you want
Heard it all a dozen times
Still wont have that nasty spirit
When I spit my rhymes
When the going gets tough
The tough get with it
Its strength through Christ
That allows me to spit this
I've been broken so much
Feels I'm always bleeding out
Sometimes it gets to me
Sometimes I fear and doubt
Sometimes I get angry
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I shout
But the Lord is always with me
Time to just chill out
So I don't care if you stabbed me
I can still show you love
I'll forgive like I've been forgiven
By the Father above
You can call me what you want
Heard it all a dozen times
Still wont have that nasty spirit
When I spit my rhymes
When the going gets tough
The tough get with it
Its strength through Christ
That allows me to spit this
Broken hearts cracked up
Cards all stacked up
Against this jacked up life
Through the strife and the pain
This cross still is my gain
Claim the Name that bore my pain
My story for His glory my endgame
No shame to admit it
So I spit it
You can call me what you want
Heard it all a dozen times
Still wont have that nasty spirit
When I spit my rhymes
When the going gets tough
The tough get with it
Its strength through Christ
That allows me to spit this
The haters always hate
But God's always lovin'
The haters always hate
But God's always lovin'
The haters always hate
God, make me lovin'
Battered and cracked
I play the hand dealt to me
Even if the cards are stacked
Tendency to be used
Been judged when I lacked
Been brutally abused
Always under attack
The haters always hate
But lovers aren't always lovin'
But I still appreciate
All the love, still lovin'
You can call me what you want
Heard it all a dozen times
Still wont have that nasty spirit
When I spit my rhymes
When the going gets tough
The tough get with it
Its strength through Christ
That allows me to spit this
I've been broken so much

Sometimes I fear and doubt
Sometimes I get angry
Sometimes I cry

The haters always hate
But God's always lovin'
The haters always hate
God, make me lovin'
Farewell to Ikarus
You were not born to fall
Your heavenly birthright suggests the sky
Leave off your waxen wings
And trust your soul to Adoni
True, you were proud
And seemed to shine sublimely
But you flew on wings
Not crafted divinely
Your own will and ways
Were not enough, they failed
And short you fell of heaven's rays
Behind your broken works trailed
Hard you hit the earth
Great was your demise
But through it you learned
The fear that makes us wise
Leave off the sadness
Embrace the Star of Morning
His light will warm your heart
His wings will set you soaring
Seraph now you shall be called
Singing in Daylight's grace
Resting in His wing's shadow
Joyful before His face
No longer crippled
Maimed and bruised by sin
Raidiant, redeemed raising
Eternal songs for Him

For the Daughter of Zion: Lilies
for Lauren
Consider the lilies of the field
They grow without care of what they
should do
Or whatever they should wear
But still they bloom
King’s cannot compare
Daughter of Zion remember Him
Who formed lilies of the field and
sparrows of the air
Who every worry, your every care
Would on His shoulders bear
So you may bloom
And His joy share
Do
not feel alone
For
you are His Bride
Until
you are grown
He
will not leave your side
Then
you’ll be His own
With
Him forever to abide
