The Way of the Warrior
He stands, in bold confidence.
He is ready to lay down his life.
He stands, no giant dare face him.
He is ready to fight.
The warrior loves passionately.
Passionately, love fuels his fire.
One woman, one wife, is all he desires.
The day has come, prepared is he.
No place to run, it's time to be -
A man, he is a man.
He stands, in bold confidence.

Truth
A rare jewell, not found by many.
A gift given, by no more than One too many.
A burden, heavy to carry.
A lonely road, with steps, and plenty.
Is it vanity? I sometimes wonder.
The Lord conceals, and guides our wonder.
I know no other.
Lord, please share a brother.

What Moves the Soul
What moves the soul, can one see?
If not to die, how can it be?
We know when it's moved, how rare it be?
I long to find it, a lonely journey, it seems.

Cabin Thoughts
Rain. It crashes down.
Brain. It runs around.
Candle. It burns slowly.
Chester. That cute lil' corgi.

Thoughts Race
In fast cars, thoughts race.
A must win, high speed chase.
A Tokyo Drift,
A 5-speed shift.
Caught - Paul Walker,
Thoughts - smooth talker.
Try getting a racer to stop,
Brian Spilner's an undercover cop.
Seize them, take them captive.
Escape is their plan.
Break free! Thoughts race again.

I'll Wait For You
In rain & drought,
In pain & doubt,
I'll wait for you.
With joy & song,
On a road so long,
I'll wait for you.
The ring you'll get,
May you never forget,
For you, I'll wait.

Suffering
Days, long they run.
Nights, longer still.
The beating heart thumps.
The body struggles, ill.
The strong spirit shall not yield.
Oh death, you will not take.
Oh death, fear will not shake -
The spirit, it walks in meadow fields.
The body crumbles, ill.
The spirit stands tall.
The spirit, you cannot kill.
In Christ, the soul awakes.
Resurrection, in You I wait.

The Man
An adversary attacks,
The children, the wife, get them back!
He steps in front,
The Man will shield,
The Man will confront.
The lions eyes are set.
The lion, one you do not pet.
Here he stands,
Between, hell, and man.
"I’ve come to fight,
I’ve come to defend."
The Man, shall he die on this hill,
The Man will sacrifice,
The Man, will kill.
Get behind us,
Oh sheep!
Find pasture,
Find peace.
Step forward,
Oh shepherd,
Find courage,
Find strength!
