Not So Afraid

What can I say 
I don’t know what to think
Can’t shake this feeling
It overwhelms me

only solution
Seems to be
just to run away

That’s the way
I’ve dealt with
Everything before

every time 
I feel the fear 
and want to run away
I think of you
And I’m not 
so afraid

This tide incoming 
it feels so hopeless
There is no reason
No sense of purpose

pushed around so long
By things we can’t change
We feel abandoned
life has no meaning

that’s an illusion
Things are deeper than
we can ever know

There is infinite joy
Beyond understanding
Beyond the senses,
Living in the truth

Achieving this
no higher goal
grounded in being, unshaken
In pain and sadness

Content with whatever
unattached to pleasure
Gain true freedom
Enter absolute joy

Let go of attachments
mind grounded in the truth
At peace forever
Completely absorbed in God

Belief without faith
is a quagmire of doubt
never satisfied
In this world or beyond

Let go of attachments
mind grounded in the truth
At peace forever
Completely absorbed in God

every time 
I think of you
I’m not 
so afraid

Salvador Dalí (May 11, 1904 - January 23, 1989) was a Spanish surrealist artist renowned for his technical skill, precise draftsmanship, and the striking and bizarre images in his work. Born in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain, Dalí received his formal education in fine arts in Madrid. Influenced by Impressionism and the Renaissance masters from a young age he became increasingly attracted to Cubism and avant-garde movements. He moved closer to Surrealism in the late 1920s and joined the Surrealist group in 1929, soon becoming one of its leading exponents. His best-known work, “The Persistence of Memory” was completed in August 1931, and is one of the most famous Surrealist paintings.  “The Persistence of Memory” epitomizes Dalí's theory of "softness" and "hardness", which was central to his thinking at the time. As one art historian wrote: "The soft watches are an unconscious symbol of the relativity of space and time, a Surrealist meditation on the collapse of our notions of a fixed cosmic order". This interpretation suggests that Dalí was incorporating an understanding of the world introduced by Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.  In August 1929, Dalí met his lifelong muse and future wife Gala, who was a Russian immigrant ten years his senior.  Dalí and Gala lived in France throughout the Spanish Civil War (1936 to 1939) before leaving for the United States in 1940 where he achieved commercial success. He returned to Spain in 1948 where he developed his "nuclear mysticism" style, based on his interest in classicism, mysticism, and recent scientific developments. Dalí's artistic repertoire included painting, graphic arts, film, sculpture, design and photography, at times in collaboration with other artists. He also wrote fiction, poetry, autobiography, essays and criticism. Major themes in his work include dreams, the subconscious, sexuality, religion, science and his closest personal relationships. His eccentric and ostentatious public behavior often drew more attention than his artwork. In 1968, Dalí bought a castle in Púbol for Gala, and from 1971 she would retreat there for weeks at a time, Dalí having agreed not to visit without her written permission. His fears of abandonment and estrangement from his longtime artistic muse, Gala, contributed to depression and failing health. In 1980, at the age of 76, Dalí's health deteriorated sharply and he was treated for depression, drug addiction, and Parkinson-like symptoms, including a severe tremor in his right arm. Dali was obsessed with death. Feeling that any every moment he needed to be alive. At the end of his life, he is quoted as saying he was eccentric because he needed to show that he was alive as versus his brother who died very young and his family always referred to him as his brother. On the morning of January 23, 1989, Dalí died of cardiac arrest at the age of 84. He is buried in the crypt below the stage of his Theatre- Museum in Figueres.

Find the Truth

In the search for truth
Where do we turn?

Is anything
new Under the sun?

Why can’t we be satisfied
with enough?

Endlessly pursue our
increasing desire

As the candle burns ever
lower with time

[chorus]
And all of this
is sand beneath our feet
A faded photograph,
a fading memory

The ear is never filled
by endless learning

There’s no memory left
Of earlier things

[chorus]

And, what remains
When we close our eyes?

Is anything there
beyond endless night?

Even legends die
Stars fall from the sky
The Truth never lies
God is only light

I have seen enough
to believe

Once you’ve seen the Truth
You can’t unsee

Ask in His name, and it’s given
to you 

Seek and you will find,
find the Truth

The Good Shephard

As we walk the 
narrow way
Our steps grow lighter 
every day

faith and hearts firmly 
on the path
Do not lose hope,
Do not turn back

We will stay the course, 
and finish the race 
the Good Shepherd waits
He Is calling your name
Call on His name

I will not falter
I will not be deceived
I will not follow 
the false light
Of the world’s deceit

On the narrow way
Don’t be led astray
Jesus is the gate
Call on his name
His kingdom is in sight

The narrow path 
leads out of this world. 
You are on your way home. 
The narrow path
leads to the light, 
His Kingdom come is in sight

The narrow path is a rocky road
The danger lies off the straight line
Many shiny things will try to distract
To lead you off the right track
Stay on course, finish the race
For the light of Truth shines brighter 
and the Good shepherd is calling your name

You are on your way
To the narrow gate
Speak the Truth in love
Till we all come to the unity of the faith 
and the knowledge of the Son of God

As we walk the 
narrow way
Our steps grow lighter 
every day
On the path, Jesus is the gate
we will always
keep the faith

The Good Shepherd (David k. A. Spencer & Cosmic Keanu)

Years We Lost

To Higher Ground

When I heard the truth,
I began to shake
My legs gave way,
all I could do
was tremble and wait
Now I stand,
unafraid and awake
Waiting for
the day of the Lord

If trees don’t bloom,
no fruit on the vine,
crops disappear,
and there is no wine
Flocks are cut off,
herds gone from their stalls
What shall we do
when we’ve lost it all?

I will thank the Lord, He saves,
giving me the strength to carry on
Making my feet swift as deer,
To higher ground He leads on

The Lord is in 
His holy place
Let all the earth 
seek His holy face
For all the earth
filled with glory be,
as the waters
cover the sea

I will thank the Lord, He saves,
giving me the strength to carry on
Making my feet swift as deer,
to higher ground He leads on

If anyone wishes to come after Him, 
deny the self, take up the cross and follow Him. 
For whoever wishes to save their life will lose it;
But whoever loses their life for His sake will find it. 

For what does it profit to gain the whole world and
lose your soul? Or what will you give in exchange
for your soul?

For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory
of His Father with His angels, and will then repay 
every one according to their deeds

To Higher Ground

A Better World

Prodigal Son

In the dark 
I stumbled blindly
Painful lessons
without you

Empty reasons, 
Endless deceptions
They all talked
as If they knew

What they lacked 
is now apparent
What they sold 
was not the Truth

I searched blindly
in despair,
Only to find you
waiting there

[chorus]
Jesus, 
You are the Bread of Life,
who believes in You has found the light
You are the Bread of Life,
that which endures to eternal life

I hungered and 
I was thirsty,
my soul was dim, 
my heart was weak

My sins were many,
I was fallen
It’s through grace
that I’m still here

I look back, 
my chains are broken
The pain has eased,
You erased my fear

Now it all fits 
so seamlessly
Those who believe
are forever free

Prodigal Son (Paploviante & Cosmic Keanu)

We are at the crossroads
that will test our hearts

War, famine, and pestilence
shake us apart

People’s love will grow so cold,
Forgetting the way to light,

Broad is the path to destruction
Narrow, the way to life

[chorus]
Jesus is Lord, Jesus saves
Hosanna! 
To him, all glory and praise

We can all be like God
Is the serpent's lie

While we worship the work of our hands
In arrogance and pride

They tell us peace and safety,
Then destruction strikes

Broad is the path to destruction
Narrow, the way to life

Listen to your voice inside my head
Like a flashlight full of battery
It guides me through the night
If you listen to the sounds that wake at night
You'll hear me blowing in the wind
And it'll make you feel alright
But if they listened to the signs they'd be just fine
Escape their sick depravity and step into the light
Could we listen to the stars that shine so bright?
Feel the pull of gravity
As it leads to a new life

Pull up on me
See what she's been missing
I'd ask you to stay
But I'm scared to death that I'll push you away
I'll push you away
I'm scared to death that I'll push you away
But I heard you reading to Ronan
But I heard you reading to Ronan

Reading To Ronan

Shoegazing

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24
