Johnny Cash, Ring of Fire Lyrics

Love Is A Burning Thing
And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire

CHORUS:
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
When Hearts Like Ours Meet
I Fell For You Like A Child
Oh, But The Fire Went Wild

CHORUS
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

And It Burns, Burns, Burns

The Ring Of Fire

The Ring Of Fire

The Ring of Fire

To me this is what Messiah would sing to us to comfort us:

Club Escape I'll Be There

Over Mountains
Over Trees
Over Oceans
Over Seas
Across the desert
I'll be there

In a whisper on the wind
On the smile of a new friend
Just think of Me
And I'll be there

Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere

Just think of Me,
And I'll be there

On the edge of a waking dream
Over Rivers
Over Streams
Through Wind and Rain
I'll be there

Across the wide and open sky
Thousands of miles I'd fly
to be with you
I'll be there

Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere

Just think of Me,
And I'll be there
Just think of Me,
And I'll be there

Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere

Just think of Me,
And I'll be there

Just think of Me,
And I'll be there

Think of me, I'll be there

This is a very healing song, not just for spouses but also others that are close to us that we can hurt sometimes. Like other brethren and the least of these.

Michael Buble Always on my mind

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said & done
I just never took the time

But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best
Girl, I'm sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your
Sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied
Satisfied

Little things I should have said & done
I just never took the time

But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

I think this is a good song about priorities.

Michael Buble Lyrics

"Can't Buy Me Love"

I'll buy you a diamond ring, my friend, if it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything, my friend, if it makes you feel alright
'Cause I don't care too
Much for money
Money can't buy me love

I'll give you all I've got to give, if you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give, but what I got I'll give to you
Don't care too
Much for money
Money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so
You Can't buy me love, no no no, no!!!!!!!

Say you don't need no diamond ring, and I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things, that money just can't buy
I don't care too
Much for money
Money can't buy me love


I'll give you all I've got to give, if you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give, but what I got I'll give to you
Don't care too
Much for money
Money
Money

Say you don't need no diamond rings, and I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things, that money just can't buy
I don't care too
Much for money
Money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love,

And with a love like that you know you should be glad!

With a love like that you should be glad!

With a love like that you know you should be glad!

With a love like that you know you should be glad!

Burning One,

I have another reason to thank you for starting this topic. AdoniYah wrote two poems last night. He's never wrote any poetry before!!! I am not much of a poet but I am excited that YHWH may have given AdoniYah a gift for it!!! I have to again thank Him for all that He is/has done for us and our marriage. HalleluYah!

Grace, Love, and Mercy

I lay down my pride,
I lay it at your feet
I bow down before you,
A humble willing servant
Take me, Break me,
Then build me up again.
A wretched man of flesh and bone,
Light and darkness wage war within
Pour me out, empty this vessel,
Then fill me up once more.
Grace, Love, and Mercy,
Your Spirit overwhelms
Do I deserve?
Will you remember?
"Child", I hear you say,
"Come to me
Salvation is yours
If you choose to follow the Way."


Our Journey

Our destination lies ahead,
Calling us into His embrace.
We set our feet and begin to walk,
All the while yearning to take our place.
As we progress our pace starts to slow,
We become distracted by the passing scenes.
The temptations call,
But we fight those desires
Continuing on.
Pleased that we have turned away,
Farther along our flesh feels so frail
It cries out for the old ways,
Lame I have become, I feel somewhat withered
We pray for just a drop more strength,
Please carry us Abba just one more time
And help us through these days,
My body stumbles,
We move to and froe
Yet my mind races straight without sway.
We long for the joy of the journeys end
But my body tries to fail me once again.
Each step brings us pain,
More constant reminders
Of who, what, and where I am.
I have now become parched,
I begin to fade away
Longing for a drink to quench this thirst.
When the soul has grown weary
We hear a voice from the Heavens
Saying Faith…Hope…Love.
We drink our fill of these words of living water
And are on course yet again.
Although the world around has become dark
A shining light guides our way.
Our destination lies ahead,
Calling us into His embrace.
I set my feet and we begin to walk,
All the while yearning to take our place.

Sweet Renae,
Thank you so much, and please, thank AdoniYah for his absolutely wonderful words that are the cry of my own heart.....you are right, I think he has a gift.....becky

Shalom becky,
Thank you for the compliment. I will pass it along through prayer to Father Yahweh. All praise and glory to Him.

I started typing a few lines last night and this is what I ended up with.


The Living Elohim

Signs and wonders
They abound all around
Nature proclaims His Name.
He is the Living Elohim
Blessing us with His presence
Yet we struggle to share our day.
We pick up our pace
Long strides of content bliss
Never noticing what He has to share.
Unseeing to our Left
Unseeing to our right
Cumbersome blinders block our view.
Our attention is stolen
Sometimes given away
For the trappings of an unholy world.

Bells and whistles
Sparkling lights
Enticing spender with every gaze.
Lead astray
What have we become?
Dwelling in a prison without walls.

Take a moment to breath
Let out a sigh
Step away from the ways of man.
The Living Elohim will open the gates
Freeing your mind
Pardoned from your self-imposed sentence.

Look here, Look there
The blinders are gone
A splendid world waits.

Signs and wonders
They abound all around
Nature proclaims His Name.
He is the Living Elohim
Blessed are we with His presence
We strive to share our day.
We now slow our pace
Long strides of hopeful bliss
Now noticing what He has to share.
Glory on our Left
Magnificence on our right
Nothing can block our view.
Our attention never wavers
Nor is it given away
As we gaze at His wonderful creations.
The soft grass under foot
Birds swooping in flight
The wind on my sun warmed cheek.
These wonders declare His Holy Name
And proclaim His glory on High.


Shalom to all and I pray you have a blessed day!

Hello all,
Would any of you mind if I read some of these poems aloud at shabbat service to our group?
Candy

Shalom BatYHWH,
If you feel the words would be of help to others go right ahead. I wrote mine for the sole purpose of expressing my love and emotions for Yahweh in the hope that others would be able to relate to the struggles and find Hope. I am all for anything that glorifies Abba Yahweh.

Thank you!!
May YHWH Bless you and Keep you

Again, most beautiful words from a heart truly inspired by and subject to our loving Father. I will pass these on......Thank you, AdoniYah........becky

I STILL BELIEVE by Jeremy Camp

Scattered words and empty thoughts
seem to pour from my heart.
I’ve never felt so torn before,
seems I don’t know where to start.
But it’s now that I feel
Your grace fall like rain,
from every fingertip, washing
away my pain.

(Chorus)
I still believe in Your faithfulness,
I still believe in Your truth,
I still believe in Your holy words.
Even when I don’t see,
I still believe.

Though the questions still fog up my mind
with promises I still seem to bear,
even when answers slowly unwind,
it’s my heart I see You prepare.
But it’s now that I feel
Your grace fall like rain,
from every fingertip, washing
away my pain. (Chorus)

The only place I can go is
into Your arms, where I throw
to you my feeble prayers in brokenness.
I can see that this was your will for me,
help me to know you are near. (Chorus)

Shalom,
After having a talk with an employee of mine last night who is struggling with some life issues I thanked Yahweh for giving the words to speak during our conversation. I thought about how my trials and hardships so far in my life gave me something to connect to him with. I couldn't cure him of his issues but at least he knows he is not the only person dealing with these problems.


Why?

Why did I hurt?
Why did I need?
Pain seared my fragile soul
Then vanished, letting me be

Reflecting on the past
Shadowed memories brought to light
Proclaiming who I once was
Sharing how I was losing the fight

Through most of my life questions lingered,
Answers alluded, always evading
I hungered for release from my transgressions,
Saved by grace was I through death
Glory be to my Savior

Covered with scars
From choices made
Now worn as medals
On permanent display

Unhidden emotions
Worn on my sleeve
Out in the open
For everyone to see

A journey of heartache
Blood, sweet and tears
My life a living sacrifice
I pray He will hear

Rejoice in your suffering
Lessons learned through it all
For when a broken heart cries
I can now answer the call

Why did I hurt?
Why did I need?

To become the person I am
Who He wants me to be


May Yahweh take me, break me and build me up again a better man than I was before.

Shalom,
AdoniYah

To those who worry about this country and what kind of influence we have on the rest of the world.

And especially keeping in mind military and their families.

Linkin Park Hands Held High Lyrics

Turn my mic up louder I got to say somethin.
Lightweights step it aside when we come in
Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumpin
People on the street they panic and start running.
Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming.
I jump in my mind and summon the rhyme i'm dumping.
Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and
Jump when they tell us that they wanna to see jumping.
(radio edit) that, I wanna see some fist pumping.
risk something, take back what's yours
say something that you know they might attack you for
cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before
like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for.
Like this war's really just a different brand of war.
Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor.
Like they understand you in the back of the jet, when you
can't put gas in your tank, and these (radio edit) are
laughing their way to the bank, cashing the check
asking you to have compassion, have respect
for a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
and the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
in the living room laughing like
what did he say?

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen

In my living room watching, I am not laughing, Cause
when it gets tense I know what might happen
The world is cold, the bold men take action
have to react or get blown into fractions.
Ten years old, it's something to see, another
kid my age drug under a jeep,
taken and bound, and found later under a tree,
I wonder if he had thought the next one could be me.

Do you see, the soldiers, they're out today they
Brush the dust from bulletproof vests away.
It's ironic, at times like this you pray,
but a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday.
There's bombs on the buses, bikes, roads,
inside your market, your shops, your clothes, my dad,
He's got a lot of fear I know
but enough pride inside not to let that show.
My brother had a book he would hold with pride
A little red cover with a broken spine.
On the back, he hand wrote a quote inside:
"when the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"
And meanwhile, the leader just talks away
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
and the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
both scared and angry like
what did he say?

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen.

With hands held high into a sky so blue
as the ocean opens up to swallow you.

Linkin Park No More Sorrow Lyrics

Are you lost, In your lies?
Do you tell yourself, I don't realize?
Your crusade's a disguise
Replace freedom with fear,
You trade money for lives.

I'm aware of what you've done.

No, no more sorrow.
I've paid for your mistakes.
Your time is borrowed.
Your time has come to be replaced.

I see pain, I see need.
I see liars and thieves,
Abuse power with greed.
I had hope, I believed.
But I'm beginning to think that I've been deceived.

You will pay for what you've done.

No, no more sorrow.
I've paid for your mistakes.
Your time is borrowed.
Your time has come to be replaced.

Thieves and hypocrites.
Thieves and hypocrites.
Thieves and hypocrites.

No, no more sorrow.
I've paid for your mistakes.
Your time is borrowed.
Your time has come to be replaced.

No more sorrow.
I've paid for your mistakes.
Your time is borrowed.
Your time has come to be replaced.

Your time has come to be replaced.
Your time has come to be erased.

[This message has been edited by naesimo (edited 11-15-2007).]

here is another of mine from back in '01

Forged In Faith


Now beckons the lure of a clandestine dream:
Where the past was yet to be, and not as it would seem.
With that vision comes tidings born with a breath -
A whisper of an echo of an ancient Garden death.

In the mists of my memories a form takes shape:
It coils ‘round the hearts of the souls it will rape.
The acid taste of poison still rests upon my tongue;
The venom of all slavery from the song it once sung.

It is the regrets and the guilts of a paradise I betrayed
By the pride in my heart from the ignorance I displayed.
It was a revolution against the worship that made me more than dust;
An uprising against that awe which slew my innate holy lust.

I fell from His glory by a simple act so absurd,
And once formed in His image, now that image was blurred.
I corrupted His breath, and so, too, this clay,
When I forfeited eternity to court vanity for a day.

In Adam I tasted of the fruit of the tree,
And lost both what I was and what I could be.
I abdicated my title of prince of the earth
And severed any ties that gave me any worth.

Innocence became a utopia, an undiscovered country,
A fable and a hope for a world steeped in slavery.
And though ignorance was the closest virtue I had found to liberty,
In the end I knew it’s heart was betrothed to anarchy.

For when I plummeted to the depths of perversion and sin,
I worshipped with ignorance the serpent I let win.
The tree of knowledge promised something so profound,
But one taste of the fruit and all my dreams were bound.

The wisdom that it offered was thistle and sharp thorn,
A shackling of my spirit to this earth where I was born.
I had hoped the path I had chosen held all that could be known,
But Yah inhabits a wisdom that even the serpent had not been shown.

There He stands unmoving, only relative in the way He is absolute.
And though I cannot express it, it is something I just can’t refute.
I know this aspect of my faith is a must if El is truly real,
For I’ve pledged my breath to Him in spite of what I think I know or feel.

So this faith I carry is an anthem in an El I cannot tame,
And thus my belief consumes my doubt with an undying flame.
It is reshaping my spirit into what I will someday be:
A creature forged in faith, and fashioned for eternity.
