The time
The time is now
Watch out
Watch out
The time is now
The time
The time is now
Watch out
Watch out
The time is now
The time is now at hand
For you to make the decision to rise and stand
And at last
Like a blast from the past
You will know
What it is to be
A rising man
And with failure
Not being an option
You must take
Clear precaution
And by being fearless
You will take on boldness
To take hold of your goals
And never let go
For he who is above you has the plan in hand
And there is no stopping
A man with a plan
Especially when the plan is design and divine from the most high
And with that kind of eternal power and glory
Present above you
You shall see indeed
That there is nothing to far from reach
So go ahead
And hesitate not
To shoot for a far away star
Because the worst that can happen when you shoot for a star
Is to land on a cloud
Making it known to your soul
That no failure is too loud
To break you down
So pick yourself up
And rise back up
And when no one else can keep up
Just go ahead and blast off
And knock their socks off
As they look at you
Rise to the high sky
Where the birds spread their wings
And fly
But remember
When you reach to the top of the mountain
Taking hold of your goal
With your success shining like gold
Remember who gave you that goal
For the vision of the mission
With given instruction
That took your feet from the dust of the earth
To stand on the clouds of the heavens
And seek not that you take the glory of He who is holy
But remember in humble meekness to give thanks
With lots of praise
To Yahweh
For it is He that made you
And showed you the way
And while the world may look at you
They may soon attack you
For while others will give praise and joy of you
Many will plot to kill you
But forget it not
That this is not all the objectives of man
But many times
It is the forces at hand
That know your plan
And desire not for it to come to past
So behold when the world
Shows you all of its riches and gold
As they shine so bright
Enough to blind you from sight
From the death and destruction
It holds behind the lies
It floods on your eyes and minds
So seek not to capture the riches of the world
For it only desires to capture your soul
For that is the word and life of thy enemy
To destroy your soul and feed you death eternally
But please
Keep always in heart and mind
To choose life
From the very word and light that gave you life
And brought the one and only one who is holy
So that He walk and live amongst us
Only to sacrifice His life
To die for our sins
That we may have a chance to live
And be forgiven
For that is evident
And enough to show
How He loved us so
That we may reach a higher goal
To take the time that is now at hand
And make the decision to rise and stand
And live amongst our Father in heaven
And live in His glorious house that was set for us since the day He gave us birth

See me for who I am
For I have nothing to hide
No agenda at plan
I am who I am
The way God made me to be
I have no need to exalt myself
For I know glory all goes to God
For only he is righteous, holy, and worthy of praise
Nor do I find myself in sorrow or misery, because I lost myself, and know not who I am
For I know very well who I am
And the glory that comes from out of me is from He who is above me
Therefore going back to He who is holy
For I know that I withhold great value
For God created me and gave me life
And created me in his glorious image
Oh how I thank Him for all of this
And I humble myself in his presence
And I thank him and love him with all my heart
For he loved me first and will always provide for me and all my people
I also dearly with all my life and soul
Thank Him for making me worthy to enter into his glorious heavenly eternal everlasting kingdom
For even though with my greatest and most desperate attempts at righteousness
I am rags of filth and sin in his presence
But through the blood of his beloved begotten son
Oh glory be the name of Jesus
Saved and sanctified by the lamb who died in my place and for the sins of my life
And for the sins of the whole world
Glory, praise, and humble merciful thanks to his name
I am made worthy
To enter into His kingdom

Time and time again
I have failed you
Time and time again
I have hurt you
Time and time again I have wronged you
Yet you love me
You still love me
And after all I have done
You forgave me
Oh how are you so loving
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
How art thou so loving
So, so loving
So, so forgiving
So, so caring
So, so comforting
Yes you are
Yes you are
My Lord

The end is near
The end is hear
The end is now
Your time has run out
You had your chance
But there is no changing the past
So awaken your eyes
To see your fate
How can this be the end of me?
How can this be true?
I refuse to let it be
No I will not receive your lies
This isn’t the end
It can’t be the end
No, no, no, no!
But it is the end
And there is no running from its coming
The time is now at hand
It has been foretold
Prophesied for generations
But if you couldn’t see the signs
It’s your fault for being blind
You were made to see
And you chose to bleed
The planted seed
Rather than to feed
From the blessed bread
Then it’s your fault
To receive the fate you are to receive
And if you refuse to believe
Then there is no point in convincing you
You see what you want to see
Feel what you want to feel
And believe what you want to believe
But the truth is what it is
From the beginning to the end
It has been written in stone
In the belly of the Earth
As well as the blazing stars in the night sky
The signs were there
Flashing so brightly
Like the morning Sun
Ever glazing its Sun rays across the high sky
It is you who chose to live in darkness
To never see the light
But to dwell in the caves of the Earth
You knew the time was coming
But you rebuked its truth
Claimed it to be a lie
And led others to follow you
You had your time for mercy and forgiveness
So don’t beg for second chances
That time has come and past
So let you mouth be silence
For your fate is sealed and done
Do not plead or beg
For no fool shall ever speak to The King of Kings
Nor to the kings, queens, and nation, of His holy kingdom
With pleading and begging
While others grow tall and great
Your fall will be far and dark

Quite is the silence
Not a sound to hear
Not a soul to see
What happened here?
This place I once called home
Is no more
Gone are the ones I once loved
Here are the dead I now see
But it doesn’t have to be that way
We could still make a difference
We could still change the course of destiny
All is not lost
And only if we believe
Then maybe
Just maybe
We could bring it back
Bring the life back in to the dead
Colors back to the blind
And music to the death
We could change
We could heal
We could become alive
And live again

Hero
Villain
There all the same to me
That’s what I get when I watch the TV
Illusions to blind the eyes
Lies that clutter the mind
Why oh why am I so far behind
As I watch my life fly and pass me by
As I live my life in a lie
A dream
A fantasy
To escape from reality
No good habit as I chase the rabbits
I’m high out my mind
Intoxicated on a trip
In this televised world
In the digitized fictional role
Drifting and dwindling in a virtual swirl
Then as destruction hits I wake up from my trip
Only to see reality hammer on me like a fatality
Is this the end of me?
Unprepared I be
When I don’t seem to know nothing in reality
Someone in real life please talk to me
Face to face maybe
Where I can see, hear, feel, and touch maybe
And what does it mean to have responsibility
For I been living in a dream far from reality
Life is so cruel to me
But that’s what I get when I watch the TV
