The Only High Priest has told me so, when I die where I’ll go,
That High Priest I speak of, is Jesus Christ in Heaven above,
He said I would be in Paradise, this because of His Sacrifice,
Not about anything I have done, but by the act of God’s Son.
He had acted for you and me, to settle our accounts eternally,
“It is finished” He had cried, before on that cross He had died,
The only Lamb of Righteousness, dying on behalf of all of us,
Paying the price we could not, so life in God, could be our lot.
That lot in life starts down here, for men moved by Godly fear,
That all are under condemnation, that requires God’s Salvation,
Through the High Priest above, sent for sinners by God’s love,
To that wicked cross at Calvary, the Substitute for you and me.
He’s the Author of Salvation for, every man and so much more,
Not merely man’s Only Savior, but Christ is The Eternal Creator,
Creator of every living soul, the only One Who makes us whole.
While they live upon the earth, through salvation’s second birth.
Born Again into the Family of God, while upon this earthly sod,
Sealed forever by God’s Spirit; so condemnation I won’t fear it,
Where I will be as Christ said, so God’s judgment I don’t dread,
In Heaven I will be after this life, living forever with Jesus Christ.

All men upon this earthly sod, need to know The Truths of God,
Truths, revealed by The Creator, that leads a soul to The Savior,
Truths, found in God’s Revelation, lead a wise soul to Salvation,
Only through The Lord Jesus Christ, Eternal Author, of every life.
Knowing God created everything, the earth, sky and every being,
God created all in seven days, to God’s Glory and God’s Praise,
Finishing with man it’s understood, God saying it was very good,
But with Eve Satan had his way, creating all the sin we see today.
God gave man his life and breath, creating him to not see death;
Satan asking, is God truly over all, caused Adam and Eve to fall,
With Eve accepting Satan’s Lie, Adam and Eve will now surly die,
Now, both forced from Paradise, separated from the Tree of Life.
From the Fall God would curse, creation, which has gotten worse,
Just look around and you can see, man is truly lost in his iniquity,
Truly lost and in need of a Savior, man must return to his Creator,
Christ, the Author of Salvation, God’s only Hope for every nation.
Alienated from God, all men die, a path that only God can rectify,
Done by God upon that Cross, for all men who are spiritually lost,
Now separated from God by sin, they can receive New Life within,
Forgiven of sin, when they believe, Eternal Life, they shall receive.

All Believers need to be faithful, as they follow The Lord’s Will.
For as we mature in Jesus Christ, faithfulness grows in our life,
As we travel this earthly sod, standing firm in the Word of God,
As His witness to this world, as God’s Truth we faithfully herald,
When we live out faithfulness, The Spirit, helps us in obedience,
On earth when we stay occupied, so our labor cannot be denied,
Committed to our Lord, Jesus Christ, we serve Him all of our life,
With The Savior’s coming near, for our Lord Jesus, we persevere.
Because of The Father’s faithfulness, we can be faithful to Jesus,
With God’s mercy new each day, we can face trial, along the way,
In God’s strength and His power, we will stand in the darkest hour,
Just as Moses and David friend, we can be faithful up to the end.
As stewards and servants of Christ, faithfulness is vital in this life,
Due to the resurrection of Christ, we can stand in a world of strife,
When the course is not very clear, to The Lord, we must draw near,
Knowing our frames are but dust, in The Risen Savior we can trust.
In God’s Power, with His Grace, we hold to our profession of faith,
As we must not grow weary friend, as we serve God up to the end,
In our faithfulness there’s reward, when in Heaven we see The Lord,
For through our faithfulness to Christ, believers we reap eternal life.

Everyone is accountable to God, every living soul on earth’s sod,
Accountable to the very Creator, whether or not He is their Savior,
As God above cannot be denied, though to many, Satan has lied,
Even while many continue to insist, that, God above doesn’t exist.
No matter what rationale they use, all men shall be without excuse,
While no one’s life will be ignored, when all stand before The Lord,
God’s Judgment all will receive, even if, in God, you don’t believe,
As all souls, both big and small, shall stand before The Lord of all.
Everyone will be judged my friend, when this life comes to an end,
As all men meet their Creator, Christ, as their Judge or their Savior,
Friend, everyone can be assured, you’ll see God as Judge or Lord,
As Believers and unbelievers too, shall see that God’s Word is true.
Believers will see the Bema Seat, where Judgment will be complete,
For all of their works for The Lord, for, receiving or not their reward;
Unbelievers at The Great White Throne, before The Lord God, alone,
Judged for unbelief and iniquity, then cast from God for all eternity.
God is The Creator of our life, so we’re responsible to Jesus Christ,
Who has been given all Authority, as The Judge, over all of Eternity.
Judging those who don’t believe, as eternal wrath they shall receive,
While those who believe in Christ, will receive from Him, Eternal Life.

Minds are being prepared my friend, for a darker time, come the end,
When that darkness poses as light, that shall be darker than the night,
After God’s Church is removed, a charismatic leader will be approved,
By all those remaining in the world, with a dark agenda to be unfurled.
Being promoted to the world’s stage, world problems he shall engage,
Promising all the nations prosperity, he’s a misleading man of iniquity,
Promising a new world of plenty, through his lies he will destroy many,
All through a power, not of his own, he’ll even challenge God’s Throne.
Filled by Satan, this leader is sent, to formulate with Israel, a covenant,
The covenant to last for seven years, to put to rest their ongoing fears,
From fear of the enemies all around, peace with all nations will abound,
A false peace Israel will not see, being deceived by the man of iniquity.
After the covenant he will break, any thought of peace he shall forsake,
After forsaking peace with a nod, he’d proclaim the very power of God,
This as he leads every single nation, to the time of the Great Tribulation,
This not only upon the Nation Israel, but, all those outside of God’s Will.
Friend, Satan today is preparing minds, for his deceptive dark designs,
As God’s Truth the nations deny, they’ll embrace Satan’s deceptive Lie,
Leading many to deny Jesus Christ, they’ll instead embrace Anti-Christ,
Led down that dark deceptive path, only to see God’s Righteous Wrath.

Skozi stoletja
čas se levi,
neviden kot glasba,
sanjavo begoten
od življenja do smrti,
nestanovitno končen
v neskončnosti;
razklan kot drevo po neurju,
škrlaten plen v šapah pozabe –
včasih steklena kocka raja,
ki se v hipu stre.
Po neizmerljivi sledi,
ki zdi se kratka,
drsi doba v dobo;
potne srage usode
polzijo v naše svetove,
skozi majave pregrade
koščkov davnih dejanj,
v zalive svilnate vere,
da pričakovanja ne bi potonila –
kajti čas je val,
ki pride in gre…

Throwing bottles to the sea with last hopes
replies from the queen were to no avail
In each, contained a small piece of his heart
each one was destined to where he once sailed
Spent himself, he did, on rejecting ears
her angel eyes he dreamed of, turned away
Accepting the fate of all of his fears
moments shared with others did not ease pain
In dark days he accepted his demise
seduced to follow a new warrior's quest
Still echoes of memories pierced his eyes
yearning for one more chance to give his best
Outside the queen's window, a proof of sort
undying love in bottles filled her port

A nomadic voyage, a heart's quest
Quiet and alone were an attractive option
But your music makes me dance
Your beauty induced a trance
What do I have to offer, but this heart
I could swim the sea to you
I can drown
or take this love to my last breath
The warmth while holding you, oh....
creates an infinite confirmation
My moist eyes looking into yours are not sad,
no...
I'm jubilant and thankful
You held resilient to your promise
and gave all that you are
I was lost and you restored me
My caramel coated aspirations live
in memories
Dark brown eyes and a body of firm silk
my hands and soul are deprived of you
My heart's demise begins one minute apart
A day or more is torture lancing outward
through my flesh
Inspirations defeat all lucidity
I need you
Every future thought, you are there
Your motivated smile is a victory for me
and I can smile
My endless home is now wherever you are

I’m always telling myself
move on, life is waiting
Take all that I’ve learned
about the tedious playing
Reach my hand to the sky
and embrace a new star
But, there’s one out of reach
and it’s burning my heart
An entire year, bygone
and the sky only falls
Dreams changed to anxiety
while waiting for a call
Nothing can be expected
I’m suffering from a curse
I wasn’t strong enough to hold you
and this is what I deserve
I should have put up a shield
averting insults and eyes rolling
But my mouth filled with slander
knocked down pins as if bowling
I declared we are toxic
and never could mix
A lie bloomed from anguish
followed by a cheap fix
One favor a guilty prisoner begs
I promise, it’s all that I need
Just to hear it from your lips
“You served the sentence; you’re free!”
Tell me it’s alright
to forget the forever I swore
And to walk toward the sunset
far away from Portmore
I’ll hope the best for you
love and laughs every day
God blessing your home
perhaps a kid on the way
Inspiration thriving
as you build all your dreams
Never feeling depleted
Never split at the seams
Strong arms to hold you
sending warmth to your heart
Faith in future, secured
with no need for fresh starts
The only games on the table
be the ones we never played
Chess, Scrabble, and Uno
Games with heart and no spade
Once again, I apologize
and I beg on bended knee
Release this prisoner
by hurting you, he hurt me

The spirit and soul tells the human being
reach valiantly,
for someone else, for something that’s much more,
apart from me,
that selfless becomes part of my own whole
and the body
reacts chemical, life becomes a song,
while feelings do bind us uttermost strong.
