To Enjoy is the Only Thing

View From This Side

‘Mental health’ is a phrase we often toss around to make ourselves feel sane, to make things seem ok. In the last couple years, I’ve watched what true insanity can do to people, how many lives it effects, how dark and simultaneously hysterical it can become, and how it can be terminal all too often. It has played a very bold part in my life thus far, and I don’t see that ending any time soon. This next body of work is themed around mental health, and this first track says it most blatantly. ‘Sense’ - what happens when we lose it? How does that feel? How do you hold someone who has lost it? And how long can that go on for?”

Sense

I wrote this song to give thanks to my parents. They adopted me and gave me a life and memories I will always cherish and be thankful for forever.

Greatest Love Of All | Cover

1-Take time to receive Him
The blessing’s outpoured,
And we may obtain it by reading His Word;
We bask in the splendor of His healing light,
And light becomes life,
As in Him we delight.

2-Take time to absorb Him,
To gain the supply.
That we may be watered
And nourished thereby;
The deeper the roots spread,
The deeper the flow,
And richer and higher within us He’ll grow.

3-Take time to inhale Him
His Word we may breathe;
By breathing it, God’s very life we receive
He breathes Himself out
So that we may breathe in
The life, the reality, fullness of Him.

4-Take time to enjoy Him,
Our portion is He:
Our present available reality;
Our practical, real, and enjoyable Lord
Is everything to us through His living Word.

5-Take time to behold Him,
Gaze oft on His face,
Receiving His person, and grace upon grace.
By His pleasant shining, infused we will be;
Our faces will glow with His light, radiantly.

Peace is claimed
On the backs
Of the lost
And the maimed
The ultimate
Price 
The dreaded price had been paid
More would have survived
If things hadn’t been
Delayed
For years rather than days
The fighting was over
And all that was left
In the haze
Were ruins from
A former day
Nothing could be reclaimed
Nothing remained
To rebuild
As a chill 
came over the land
Where orphans stood
with an elderly man
who shook his head
and felt the need
to demand
what was gained
if for nothing else
but pain
