Praise Break - Ghost Town (Freedom)

The earth was new, a great frontier
The perfect place to spread his fear
So satan set up shop to draw them in
Bright lights to display all his wares
"Come on in, forget your cares"
That devil knew just how to package sin
People came from far and wide
Not a guilty soul denied
But before they knew they'd been deceived
They'd step inside and never leave
They said his eyes were black as coal
His voice a shudder to the soul
He preyed upon the broken and the proud
He told them they were lost for good
No one loved them and who would
Before too long he owned that fallen town
And from inside the gates they'd wail:
Who can save us from this hell?
And as their hopes turned into tears
He laughed and all his demons stood and cheered

Then down a dirt road from the east
Came one, they said, could slay the beast
But did not fight with bullets or a sword
They called him Mercy and at his side
A thousand angels chose to ride
And as they moved, the ground, like thunder, roared
Stepping down from his white horse
And with a supernatural force
He spoke to his demonic foe
"I'm here to keep the law so let them go"
But that great deceiver only grinned
As his demons rallied to defend
He said: "The price of justice must be paid!"
So Mercy, rising from his seat
Showed them all his hands and feet
And said: "I am the lamb that was slayed"
Then the demons and their thief
Shook their heads in disbelief
And began to writhe upon the ground
When they saw he held the keys to their ghost town



Then one by one the slaves began to shout
And the captives found their way out
Mercy broke the chains and they cried out:
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Mercy broke the chains and they cried out:
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Then one by one the slaves began to shout
And the captives found their way out
Mercy broke the chains and they cried out:
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Mercy broke the chains and they cried out:
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Then one by one the slaves began to shout
And the captives found their way out
Mercy broke the chains and they cried out:
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom

HALLELUJAH!

Expectation in God

  So now wrap your heart tightly around the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always keeps his promises!     -Hebrews 10:23, Passion Translation   I was taught that expecting God to give me things or do things for me was bad. We’re told to ask God for things but, in the same breath, not expect Him to give them to us. It was in the name of piety but how backward is that? Especially because it contradicts God’s Word. Then on the flip side, now we tell people to "Name it and claim it" but that leads to disillusioned Christians disappointed that God hasn't granted their wishes. God isn't a genie. That contradicts God's Word too. How many of us know the scripture, ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you? ( Matthew 7:7-8) If this is true, which it is, doesn’t that create expectancy? Doesn’t that mean I should expect to receive something? Of cour

My Year End Reflections

2016 has been very... (insert whatever and how many adjectives you want) Many of those who started the year won't finish it and many who didn't start it will live to see another year. The political, financial, personal, professional and emotional landscapes for most as 2017 looms may not look promising and at the very least daunting. But hope... Hope is, in my opinion, as necessary to life as air. Hopelessness is a deep pit that can swallow you whole. When our hope is built on shifting, sinking sand it is very easy for us to lose it. But.. MY hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Blood and Righteousness... God is still God. The sun still rises and sets. Jesus is still risen from the dead. So therefore I will always have hope because money, people, things, leaders, bosses, jobs, empires, nations pass away but inspite of our best efforts to destroy and eradicate God from our world HE STILL LIVES and HIS PROMISES are still TRUE . I dare not trust the sweetest
