EMPOWER ME

Mike Bullock — Tue, 15 May 2012 22:37:00 EST

Empower me Lord, to do the things
That You want me to do
Provide for me the vision, Lord
That has been birthed in You
For only something in Your will
Can stand the test of time
So make me absolutely sure
That both our visions rhyme.

IMPOTENCE

Mike Bullock — Fri, 11 May 2012 22:40:00 EST

You give us gifts that we can use
To reach the lost and good
If we use them, with Your help
We'll set alight the wood
That's dampened by the apathy
And satan's crafty wiles
No wonder we're impotent
And miss the mark by miles.

HUMILITY

Mike Bullock — Tue, 08 May 2012 22:40:00 EST

Have I the ability
To see desires of those
Who need, from me, humility
Where once I stood and froze
It would be God given
A change of self and stance
From being cold and inward
To one who wants to dance
With anyone I come across
Samaritan to all
Available to be the sort

ENDORSE

Mike Bullock — Sat, 05 May 2012 02:40:00 EST

You have provided everything
I need to be Your child
And if I start to use it
We can be reconciled
To be in You, to walk in You
Is what I have to do
To gain the peace You have for me
I know that much is true.

PONDER

Mike Bullock — Wed, 02 May 2012 10:31:00 EST

It's time to pause upon my journey
Sit down, ponder where I'm at
I have got into a tizzy
Mulling over this and that
I can let my feelings run me
Disregarding all He said
Or I walk upon the water
Keep my eyes on Him instead.

IS

Mike Bullock — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 02:51:00 EST

Is my life a better one
When I am in control
Calling You as substitute
When all around me falls
Am I very ignorant
To disregard Your part
Knowing that my apathy
Is breaking Your sweet heart

JESUS

Mike Bullock — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 09:27:00 EST

For years I�ve searched
For perfect ways
To reach Your throne of grace
I�ve strived and strained
Read loads of books
So I would see Your face
The bibles, I have plenty
All kinds of different versions
But everything is easier
Than long, drawn out, excursions.

ETERNAL MAGNET

Mike Bullock — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 06:30:00 EST

Eternal magnet, strong to save
Please come quickly to my cave
Draw me gently from my hide
Where I love to sit and bide

JOURNEY

Mike Bullock — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 10:58:00 EST

You start the journey on a high
The Spirit fires your soul
And everything is wonderful
As you head for your goal
But soon your wings run out of wind
You plummet to the ground
The airy, fairy, Christian walk
Is nowhere to be found.

EVERYTHING

Mike Bullock — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 12:58:00 EST

Just to be with me, You gave everything
To be like me, You came to earth
You lived my life among humanity
And no one gave You worth
You suffered greatly at the hands
Of those You came to save
And then collecting all our sins
You took them to the grave.

KNOCKING

Mike Bullock — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 05:18:00 EST

Someones knocking at your door
He's been standing there for years
Hoping that you'll let Him in
Fighting to control His tears
Because His love for you is vast
He died a dreadful death to give
A chance for you to choose a life
That was designed for you to live.

HOW

Mike Bullock — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 11:14:00 EST

How can I tell You how good I feel
Knowing that my walk with You is real
No longer having to strive and strain
I can relax in Your cleansing rain
Washing me daily of worldly grime
Arms reaching out for that special time
Spent with One who has given all
My strong support whenever I fall

CALCIFIED

Mike Bullock — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 04:29:00 EST

Stumbling through the wilderness
I've reached a wall so high
Preventing me from going on
I can no longer lie
About the way that I have changed
I thought my past was dead
But still I am my selfish self
I am myself instead.

THE SUFFERING OF JESUS

Mike Bullock — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 08:27:00 EST

Born into a world of anger
The rich and greedy ran
You came to help the leper
The poorest kind of man
Brought light into the darkness
And lived a simple life
You suffered, oh so greatly
In Your walk of toil and strife.

FACADE

Mike Bullock — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 08:12:00 EST

Behind the crumbling old facade
The scaffolding is rife
A loving surgeon prunes away
So careful with His knife
Years of fear and bitterness
Fall gently to the floor
Darkness fading into light
Patient one there's more.

DISASTER

Mike Bullock — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 10:32:00 EST

Imagine cowering in the wind
Watching as your life dissolves
Though you're screaming out in pain
Still the wheel of fate revolves
All that's left is washed away
As the waves come rushing in
Is there any future left?
Will you let disaster win?

HURDLE

Mike Bullock — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 09:34:00 EST

Walk along the narrow way
A hurdle comes in view
It seems so insurmountable
What do you tend to do
Do you turn around and go
Back where your walk began
Or stay within the shadows
And do the best you can.

DOOR

Mike Bullock — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:25:00 EST

When you asked The Lord to stay
You left Him in the hall
And got on with your busy life
Not bothering Him at all
Then suddenly you opened up
A door and let Him in
You let a stronghold of your life
Be cleansed of fear and sin.

FRANK

Mike Bullock — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 04:24:00 EST

What's the use of being frank
When your name is Ted
Driving through life like a tank
Not where you are led
Give again your tepid lives
Strictly to The Lord
Then you'll know that you and Him
Are in one accord

I CHOOSE

Mike Bullock — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 23:37:00 EST

I choose to let You shine Your light
Into my darkness deep
Those areas of septic waste
Where no-one ever peeps
Conglomerate of past and fear
That�s built a wall so thick
Transforming one so beautiful
Into someone so sick

GIFTS

Mike Bullock — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 23:39:00 EST

We stumble blindly in this life
Not knowing what we're for
Wondering what our purpose is
Striving even more
To find the meaning of our walk
The gifts we have been given
It drives us mad to see the light
Where shadows have been driven.

CRY FOR HELP

Mike Bullock — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 23:43:00 EST

Here I sit inside my cell

Imprisoned by my mind

The world goes by without my help

It manages, I find

The dark and dingy place I live

Brings comfort to my soul

For I am safe inside my tower

My non demanding hole.

GIVEN

Mike Bullock — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 23:34:00 EST

I've tried to give you everything
I even gave My Son
Provided you a blessed life
Admired by everyone
Receiving seems to be your thing
But giving is a chore
You do not spread My wealth around
That's what My wealth is for.

NO MATTER

Mike Bullock — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 09:29:00 EST

No matter what you're going through
However bad it seems
There is someone listening
To all your rants and screams
Maybe you've forgotten
That He is standing by
To help you in your misery
And mop the tears you cry.
