A royal song rings loud and clear
To the unseen heroes among the faithful
The violet anthem of freedom sung out
Reaching out to the humble the tender hearts
With the chorus, I do hope I can sing along
With genuine faith, joy, and courage
To sing with Yaweh's children
With the redeemed and blood-bound by the Christ
To sing with the golden sunrise, to dance with the trees
To play the strings of the wind; to reach out for the starlight
To truly look ahead for the promised rainbow and believe
Even when I'm struggling with the scriptmist
For faith can't be faith if not wrestled with
And freedom cannot be freedom if locked with the bloodink
So, freedom sings to the prisoners, a chorus that paints the wind
Shattering the night with unity and love and drawing us close to Him

Indigo Deception
Hiding, running, I'm deceiving myself
In hopes that You will never find me
But, if the darkest of indigo nights
Are as bright as a golden dawn to You
There just isn't anywhere to go
I could hide in Mother Earth's bosom,
Could shroud my face with Father Time's chores
Busy myself and escape in nature's song
But, the rose of the curse is withering
When I flee away from You, but now
I come into our secret place of a dream
Allow You to have Your way in me
Because, my indigo deception cannot hide
From the love and truth You made known to me
Because, You know every aspect of my being
Hallelujah! All Your works are marvelous to me
And for that I will lift Your Name in worship
Amen.

Deeper Than The Deepest Blue
He calls through the noise of the scriptmist
If you silence your fear, you just might hear it
The enshadowed cloak is shrouding the starlight
It takes the courage of faith to believe
That your tears are as sapphires in His hands
Your heart pricelessly refined through chaos
That stars still hang in the heavenly expanse
Further than the space between each glowing flame
As far as north is from south, and east is from west
Is how far He has cast each and every transgression
That had been written in the permanent bloodink
On your record, but now it has been cleansed
Deeper than the deepest blue is how much He loves
And closer than the closest friend is His mercy
With you, in you, above you and below
Before you, beside you and guarding your back
He was before, He is right now, He forever will be
Calling out through the scriptmist of your past and
When you silence your doubt, you will hear it loud and clear
If you silence your fear, you just might hear it
The enshadowed cloak is shrouding the starlight
It takes the courage of faith to believe
That your tears are as sapphires in His hands
Your heart pricelessly refined through chaos
That stars still hang in the heavenly expanse
Further than the space between each glowing flame

Is how far He has cast each and every transgression
That had been written in the permanent bloodink

Deeper than the deepest blue is how much He loves
And closer than the closest friend is His mercy

Emerald Pastures
Lord, You promised to supply my needs
In emerald pastures of completed life
But, the sun has set on this valley of death
And all I've got is this scriptmist haunting me
They whisper, "He's gone, and you are alone
There are no emerald pastures beyond the dark
He's abandoned you and is deafened to your cries"
I believe You're here, so please recapture my thoughts
Help my unbelief, before it becomes the bloodink
Make these crystallized tears brighten the skies
Turn these scarlet slices into beacons of hope
Shine them out like rainbows in the sky
Your promise for healing, a light to shine through
That in emerald pastures, you shall make me to lie down
But now, I'll rest in the knowledge that You won't forsake
In emerald pastures of completed life
But, the sun has set on this valley of death
And all I've got is this scriptmist haunting me
They whisper, "He's gone, and you are alone
There are no emerald pastures beyond the dark
He's abandoned you and is deafened to your cries"
I believe You're here, so please recapture my thoughts
Help my unbelief, before it becomes the bloodink
Make these crystallized tears brighten the skies
Turn these scarlet slices into beacons of hope
Shine them out like rainbows in the sky
Your promise for healing, a light to shine through
That in emerald pastures, you shall make me to lie down
But now, I'll rest in the knowledge that You won't forsake
Sanctuary of Sunflowers
In a sanctuary of nature's delight
Rays of sunshine sets this field alight
The sweet smell of the flowers of gold
Sunflowers reaching to Heaven, singing out the psalms of old
Their fragrances raise high above and so does my voice
I awake as the morning light makes me rejoice
Wiping the sleep from my eyes and raising my head
And with The Lord awaiting my waking hour, as last night, He had said
He raised me to my feet and blessed my morning with a second chance
The symphony of the morning bringing my feet to, with Him, dance
The worship and joy filling up my heart
He led me out as the field of golden blooms did part
He leads my steps to the greenest of pastures
So that my imagination He would now recapture

Sunsets
As I watch the sun sink low, I wait upon the night to fall
I breathe in peace for I know, He will keep me safe from harm
He comes to me in the night, to keep watch over me as I sleep
He is with me in the fight, and hears my broken heart as I weep
Today I lost another battle, but I'll do better tomorrow
Just getting back up into the saddle, when I'd just rather wallow in sorrow
It takes guts to slice me open, but courage to overcome
For I have been forgiven of my sin, and I've been ushered in to come
So as the orange fades to violet, and indigo is freckled with white
I will not allow my soul to fret, for I am in Christ's arms tonight
I breathe in peace for I know, He will keep me safe from harm
He comes to me in the night, to keep watch over me as I sleep
He is with me in the fight, and hears my broken heart as I weep
Today I lost another battle, but I'll do better tomorrow
Just getting back up into the saddle, when I'd just rather wallow in sorrow
It takes guts to slice me open, but courage to overcome
For I have been forgiven of my sin, and I've been ushered in to come
So as the orange fades to violet, and indigo is freckled with white
I will not allow my soul to fret, for I am in Christ's arms tonight
A Single Rose
Red is the colour of that redemption which cleanses
And white is the rose that springs forth from the ash
There is true beauty of that singular rose
Oh, yes how beautiful it is to Me
Though rain overwhelms it to drown, it shall not perish
If you just abide in Me, bountifully will I give you life
My love and grace is all-sufficient for you
To guide you on your journey through your every
Deep black of sorrow and bright yellow of feigned glee
You can tell me anything, put your trust in My Word
I AM for you and stand the same even as time changes all
I AM truth, I AM hope, I AM peace within the trials
I AM love, I AM joy, I AM the healing source in you
I wash you with My blood, cleansing you from all sin
Now purest of pearl white is your gown, My Father's own design
The artisan's hand has sculpted your heart, a new creation
A single thread in a grand tapestry, a single drop of raining faith
A single pen poised to write, and a single rose to outshine the stars
You are Mine, for all time, I will uphold through these trials
And white is the rose that springs forth from the ash
There is true beauty of that singular rose

Beacons of the Promised Kingdom
The Son is out, yet rain is drizzling
It paints charity, mercy, and love in the sky
A promise from God unbroken
Raising up a rainbow, for me to shine
Blessings that come from my pain
To lead the hurt to the Healer
Ready to light a beacon of the Promised Kingdom
In which children would lead
And the lions rest with the lambs

Spread the Word of the Good News
Be a beacon upon a Hill

For with God all things are possible
When you have faith to trust in His faithfulness
And when you go through various trials and tests
Triumph you will, over it with a testimony to share
So, go out and thrive in this message
For God plans great things out of your "messes"
