brother King

Well, I don't know what will happen now.
We've got some difficult days ahead.
But it doesn't matter with me now.
Because I've been to the mountaintop.
And I don't mind.
Like anybody, I would like to live a long life.
Longevity has its place.
But I'm not concerned about that now.
I just want to do God's will.
And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain.
And I've looked over.
And I've seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.
But I want you to know tonight.
That we, as a people, will get to the promised land.
And I'm happy, tonight.
I'm not worried about anything.
I'm not fearing any man.
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!

He lives.

late to theOAKS

in the stairwell
Truth softly pressing
against the old wooden doors.

the doors say IN
only IN, no...OUT
just like Your hand.

never will I leave you
nor forsake you
come
let Me give you peace
let My love quiet you
I AM what you need
I AM what you are looking for
seek first My kingdom
and all else
will be given to you
as well

Truth building
crashing against the door now
talk of torn curtains
of a sacrifice.

taking a bath in Your blood
freedom is...
my rebellion swirling down the drain.

clean but lonely,
lonely but free.

the stairs creak:

I AM all else.
I AM all.
I AM.
I.

it is all love

renew my life,
and my breath.

for i know the plans i have for you,
declares the LORD,
plans to prosper you and not harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.

and still He leads me on.

i only say i trust You,
my actions prove that the only one i trust is myself,
and that i am still afraid of You

take my life into Your hands,at last.
do whatever You want with it,
i give myself to Your love.

it is enough for me,
that You have glory,
everything You have planned is good,
it is all love.
