Version Psalm 23

Im led by You
and in the leading
I lack for nothing.

You lead me to
the waters where
I can lay down,

I am restored
because you lead me
into a right place,

You go before
I go through hell
and you are with me.

A table set
to honor me
You meet my needs

I dont deserve
in all my ways
please live with me.

Version Psalm 13

Will forever cover time and space
of how long till I see your face?

I speak to me with stricken words
they come at me with brandished swords

Lightened eyes wont sleep at all
you hear my cry before I fall

Grandiose voices rail with glee
allow not death to conquer me

A faith in substitution finds
arms outstretched toward aid devine

A lasting note is on my breath
requited tones escaped from death

Oh The Humanity

i forgot to mention im human i failed to remember youre not im lost in a sea of confusion im here in the depths of regret i hear the sound of your spirit i hear the sound of heartbreak i wish to know more than i i hope you can see more than me i know the future is coming i sense a movement of peace i wish to be more like you i long for i to be we you see my thoughts from afar you know my every desire you alone can mend the broken you alone turn pain to relief you never have shunned the fainthearted you hold them close to your chest you stand on the mountains of power you rise to beyond all degrees you move with the wind of solaris you funnel eternity now forgive me i doubted your goodness forgive me great king of my past

a note to this cool diploma guy

And answering, he said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.
(Luke 10:27 MKJV)

The two great commandments summed up from the ten commandments.

And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? And Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? None is good except One, God. You know the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and your mother. And he said, I have kept all these from my youth up. And when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, Yet you lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in Heaven. And come, follow Me. And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful, for he was very rich. And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, He said, How hardly those having riches shall enter into the kingdom of God!
(Luke 18:18-24 MKJV)

Jesus is pointing out to the rich guy that he put his money above the first two commandments. That is why he went away sorrowful.


Then Jesus says to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you do not have life in yourselves. Whoever partakes of My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who partakes of My flesh and drinks My blood dwells in Me, and I in him.
(John 6:53-56 MKJV)

Jesus gives the answer to eating His flesh and drinking His blood, because His followers were tripping on what He just said:

Then when they had heard, many of His disciples said, This is a hard saying, who can hear it?
(John 6:60 MKJV)

He explains what He means:

As the living Father has sent Me, and I live through the Father, so he who partakes of Me, even he shall live by Me.
(John 6:57 MKJV)

Biblically, we can understand what it means to eat of Jesus when we understand what happened to Adam and Eve when they ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It was after they ate the forbidden fruit that they fell because they no longer were completely and constantly dependent on the Father. You see, prior to the Fall, whenever they had questions, whenever they had problems, whenever there might be confusion, they said, "Father, what should we do?" But once they ate of the forbidden fruit, they became independent. They no longer talked to their Abba, their Papa, their Father. They said instead, "We know what's good. We know what's evil. We know how to handle this or accomplish that."
Which I think goes well with your next set of verses:

And Jesus called a little child to Him and set him in their midst, and said, Truly I say to you, Unless you are converted and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
(Matthew 18:2-3 MKJV)

The next verse explains vs 2-3:

Therefore whoever shall humble himself like this little child, this one is the greater in the kingdom of Heaven.
(Matthew 18:4 MKJV)

If your to proud to realize that Jesus was right about how to come to Him, then you cant enter heaven. You gotta see like a child sees...without preconceptions or without bias based on parroting someone else.

Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb and be born? Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, You must be born again. The Spirit breathes where He desires, and you hear His voice, but you do not know from where He comes, and where He goes; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.
(John 3:3-8 MKJV)

Born of the Spirit makes sense. The Holy Spirit is the one who hovered over the earth in the beggining ( Gen 1:2 ), He was the one who breathed life into Adam ( Gen 2:7 ).

Even Jesus said the Spirit gives life elsewhere...
( It is the Spirit that makes alive, the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit and are life.
(John 6:63 MKJV))


But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work. Then, because of this, the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He not only had broken the sabbath, but also said that God was His father, making Himself equal with God. Then Jesus answered and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of Himself but what He sees the Father do. For whatever things He does, these also the Son does likewise. For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all the things that He Himself does. And He will show Him greater works than these, so that you may marvel.
(John 5:17-20 MKJV)

I love these verses. The Jews understood that Jesus said He was God. They couldnt grasp that concept, and...because of their zeal without knowledge, wanted to kill him.

I see Jesus reachng out to men who are not that smart, independant and unruly at best, extremely proud and self serving humans. I dont see phalacies though.

Tangletown

tripping on uneven walks
through tilted streets past twisted rocks
a ludicrous cartoon-like portrayal

persons bent in angled poses
faces void though fear discloses
i'm viewing Tangletown in anime relief

hapless helpless hopeless forms
given up to twisted norms
the townfolk unaware that somethings wrong

in tangletown i walk in health
a former resident myself
now an out-of-place observer passing through

id like to show them straighter paths
but lawmen here are steeped in graff
and i am told to leave today at noon

departing now for Brookstone fair
traversing through the demons lair
i cant remain in twisted tangletown

Sheriff, known by other names
had tricked the town to live in shame
and this is who bewitched the goodfolk here

old Wicked Snake beguiled the town
and with their fall became renowned
for vice and unimagined cruelty

the demon lied and told them stories
of treasures rich and untold glory
if they would all bow down to Wicked Snake

but in the bowing came the twisting
exchanging truth for fiction listing
Maker as a myth of bygone centuries

Wicked Snake had pulled the veil
to blind the eyes to Crossing trail
where Maker sent his son to show the way

but hope remains for tangletown
when Makers son will come back down
and shoot the Sheriff square between his eyes

Never Forgotten

Remember when we used to laugh at fountains in the park
I laughed at all our silly things, you smiled at my remarks

We bought the gift of friendship and placed it at His feet
Then walked along ambrosial paths that led out to the sea

I thank the Host of Heavens for remembering all we are
I thank Him most of all His mercy knows us from afar

Time does not permit our paths to lead us as before
But once again Ill lean on you near distant briny shores

Will speak of things so dear to us and laugh once more my friend
And hold the hand of He who waits for us to reach the end

shower song

Take my face in your hands
wipe the tears from my eyes

Come to me and hold me close to you
come and hold me to your side

Keep me safe from the storm
from the tempest, harbor me

I am weak and I am hurting
your the one I long to be


Take my face in your hands
wipe the tears from my eyes

Come so close that I can feel you
I cant come, I know, Ive tried

You keep me safe in the storm
from the tempest you have saved me

I am weak but you are strong
you're the one I need to see
