Shalom in the Name of Yah and His wonderful Messiah,


i've been thinking for the last couple of weeks that this place needs a specific outlet for those here who pour their hearts out with pen and ink, to the edification of us all. and after seeing some recent posts on the Scripture forum, my thoughts have been confirmed.

so here is the place to post your poetry to Yah, your praise and struggles that have helped you through difficult times, and remind you where you have come from as well as what blessings you are headed toward, being led down the path of Torah by His Spirit to the Kingdom made manifest.

so feel free to add edification to the brothers and sisters!

here is one of my own to kick it off:


Adoption

A longing birthed deep inside my soul
For a Home at last to call my own.
A Place where righteousness is in control,
Where peace dwells within my very bone.

A Palace bricked with adoring praise
Unto a Father we have yet to see.
A Tabernacle to an amazing grace
That turned our hearts to love and set us free.

A Tent where we can fellowship
In a homecoming so long awaited for.
A rest at last from this toilsome trip;
An end to this self-inflicted civil war.

A Sanctuary in the midst of time
Touching the portals of the infinite.
A Kingdom laid with worship sublime
By a love unsearchable but intimate.

A relationship bound by covenant
To a unity that cannot be undone.
A meeting of our every need and want,
Adopted into the Person of the Son.

Burning One,

I think this is a wonderful idea! Your poem was beautiful, it is one of the best I've read and I am going to write it in my notebook. I'm not much of a poet myself but I do find it edifying! I made an analogy of the pen being like a tongue or two edged sword in a letter recently. Here is a poem I like:

Reality of Life
Life isn't just full of happiness,
It's sunsets, it's love, it's tears.
It's the thoughts of yesterday's memories,
That can wash away all out fears.

It's that very painful experience,
That each one of us has had.
It's the laughter that fills the air,
It's the tears when you are sad.

It's loving that someone special,
That at one time made you smile.
It's the pain of losing that person,
But the memories that make it worthwhile.

It's that child in every one of us,
Although in time we'll all be old.
It's the good times we'll never forget,
It's the memories we'll always hold.

It's the hug that we all need,
When we'd rather drown in our sorrow.
It's the hope in every one of us,
That makes us hold on for tomorrow.

One of AdoniYah's fav verses is: Mat 6:34 “Do not, then, worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow shall have its own worries. Each day has enough evil of itself.
He even had it as a website address at one time.

One of AdoniYah's fav verses is: Mat 6:34 “Do not, then, worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow shall have its own worries. Each day has enough evil of itself.

Naesimo, that is one of my favorite verses of scripture, probably because in the Old English KJV, it was the first to stick in my mind as a poetic example of pure truth.

KJV: Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Duane,

It's the hug that we all need,
When we'd rather drown in our sorrow.
It's the hope in every one of us,
That makes us hold on for tomorrow.

This line made me think of Matthew 6:34, but can we have hope for a better tomorrow? What Matt 6:34 is saying is don't "worry" about tomorrow or is it saying don't even think about tomorrow at all?

It is very poetic.

Shalom,
Naesimo

here are some poems my daughter wrote. PRAISE YAHUAH!! He gave her the words, and she wrote 'em down.

Shalom,

angeL and story

Hos 2:16 And it shall be at that day, saith YHWH, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know YHWH.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith YHWH, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my Elohim.

Shalom all

YHWH gave me the song and melody in my heart after reading the passage above. I cannot write music, so I share this is a poem. May the words bless and inspire you as they do me! All praise to YHWH.

Our Betrothal

Here I stand, YOou pledge to me your troth
We are finally together,
One spirit, one breath
Your love is flowing within me
And Your love I return to you

....I pledge to be faithful forever,
To YOUR righteousness and judgments,
Your lovingkindess and mercy
I am Yours YHWH!

For you took me to You forever as YOU said YOU would,
You betrothed me in Your faithfulness
Your righteousness is who I am
Your judgments stand forever
I'm cleansed by YOUR mercy
You made Yourself known to me.
Heaven and earth stands as a witness this day,
The whole earth shouts Your glory!

And I? ....
....I pledge to be faithful forever,
To Your righteousness and judgments,
Your lovingkindness and mercy
I am Yours YHWH

Words and melody--YHWH

Blessings,
Tamar

Shalom Naesimo,

thank you for the kind words, and for sharing the poem as well. i actually decided to go ahead and start this topic based on your recent postings of lyrics in the Scripture Discussion Forum, so i am glad you are willing to participate here.


Chayim b'Moshiach (Life in Messiah)

Shalom angeL,

thanks for providing the links. those were great! perhaps your daughter is willing to share more with the assembly here?


Chayim b'Moshiach (Life in Messiah)

Shalom to you, Tamar,

what a beautiful thing! thanks for sharing.

that Day will be most awesome, won't it? may we each do our part to make the bride ready.

that passage is especially meaningful to me in that i spoke verses 19-20 to my bride in the Hebrew when i betrothed her to me, and that is one of the passages i wrote out on our wedding ketubah. what better vows to borrow than the ones the Father wrote down in His own Words, right?


Chayim b'Moshiach (Life in Messiah)

Shalom, Burning One,
You are a wise and kind brother.........becky

Shalom Burning One,

We will post more as they are revealed to her. She sometimes has them floating around in her head for days at a time, before they "congeal" into a full fledged poem.

She is blessed to have such talent bestowed on her. We give all praise to our Father! PRAISE YAHUAH!

Take care,

Title: On Fire lyrics
Artist: Switchfoot

They tell you where you need to go
Tell you when you’ll need to leave
Tell you what you need to know
Tell you who you need to be

But everything inside you knows
There's more than what you’ve heard
There's So much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words

Chorus:

And you’re on fire
When He’s near you
You’re on fire
When He speaks
You’re on fire
Burning hot at these mysteries

Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see yeah
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be... (near You)

When everything inside me looks like
Everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I’ll take

Chorus:
When I’m on fire
When You’re near me
I’m on fire
When You speak
And I’m on fire
Burning hot at these mysteries
These mysteries...
mysteries
mysteries

You're on fire
You're on fire
You're on fire

I’m standing on the edge of me (x3)
I’m standing on the edge
I’m standing on the of everything I've never been before
I’m standing on the edge
I’m standing on the edge

Chorus:

And I’m on fire
When You’re near me
I’m on fire
When You speak
(yeah) I’m on fire
Burning hot at these mysteries...

Title: The Beautiful Letdown lyrics

Artist: Switchfoot

I think this is a great song about how we don't belong to the "world" anymore since we are in Messiah Yahshua!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a beautiful letdown
When I crashed and burned
When I found myself alone
Unknown and hurt
It was a beautiful letdown
The day I knew
That all the riches this world had to offer me
Would never do

In a world full of bitter pain
And bitter doubts
I was trying so hard to fit in
Fit in, until I found out

I don't belong here (I don't belong) *AHEM*...that is "the world" FYI
I don't belong here (I don't belong)
I will carry a cross and a song
Where I don't belong
I don't belong

It was a beautiful letdown
When You found me here
Yeah, for once in a rare blue moon
I see everything clear
I'll be a beautiful letdown
That's what I'll forever be
And though it may cost my soul
I'll sing for free

We're still chasing our tails
In the rising sun
In our dark water planet still spinning
In a direction no one wins
No one's won.

See, I don't belong here (I don't belong)
Well, I don't belong here, I don't belong
I will carry a cross
With a song where I don't belong
I don't belong
I don't belong here (I don't belong)
No, I don't belong here, I don't belong
I'm gonna set side
And set sail
For the kingdom come, kingdom come
Your kingdom come
Won't you let me down, yeah
Let my foolish pride forever let me down

Ah, Easy living, you're not much like the name
Easy dying, you look just about the same
Would you please take me off your list
Easy living please c'mon and let me down

We are a beautiful letdown
Painfully unkewl
The church of the dropouts
The losers, the sinners, the failures, and the fools
What a beautiful letdown
Are we salt in the wound?
Hey, let us sing one true tune!

YEAH!

I don't belong here (I don't belong)
It feels like I don't belong here, yeah yeah
It goes like I don't belong here
I don't belong (I don't belong)
Won't you let me down (I don't belong)
C'mon and let me down (I don't belong)
You always let me down (I don't belong)
So glad that I'm let down (I don't belong)
C'mon and let me down (I don't belong)
'Cause I don't belong here
Won't you let me down!

Ain't it AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

SWITCHFOOT LYRICS

"Meant To Live"

Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

[Chorus]
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin' with our eyes half open?
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken?

[Chorus]
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside............
screams for second life, yyyyyeeeeaaaahhhhh!

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live!
We were meant to live!

Title: More Than Fine lyrics

Artist: Switchfoot

When I wake in the morning,
I want to blow into pieces.
I want more than just okay, more than just okay.
When I’m up with the sunrise
I want more than just blue skies.
I want more than just okay, more than just okay.

I’m not giving up, giving up, not giving up NOW.
I’m not giving up, giving up, not backing down!

More than fine, more than bent on getting by.
More than fine, more than just okay.

When I’m met with the sunshine.
I want more than just a good time.
I want more than just okay, more than just okay.
OKAY
I’m not giving up, giving up, not giving up NOW.
I’m not giving up, giving up, not selling out.

More than fine, more than bent on getting by.
More than fine, more than just okay.
More than fine, more than bent on getting by.
More than fine, more than just okay.
OKAY
More than oceans away from the dawn.
More than oceans away from the dawn.
More than oceans away from who we are
More than oceans, more than oceans, yeah!

More than fine, more than bent on getting by.
More than fine, more than just okay.

Okay, okay, okay fine
more than bent on getting by
more than fine
more than just okay.

OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

[This message has been edited by becky (edited 11-08-2007).]

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

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.

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.

Wow

Truly Ha Ruach Kodesh inspired! What a blessing that you shared this. I will be rereading this one often!
Writings inspired by YHWH are inspiring! (In Spirit) HalleluYAH!

Blesings to you and yours brother!

Tamar

I agree with sis Tamar, worth re-reading.....thank you......becky

Tamar and Becky,


thank you for the kind responses. good to know it was edifying! praise YAH for His mercy and compassion, and the moving of His Ruach in our lives!


Chayim b'Moshiach (Life in Messiah)

Here I stand,
Bruised and filled with pity,
And I give YOU my heart,
I tell you of my sorrows,
I tell you of my shame,
I tell you of my brokeness
I call out to YOU in pain.

Your loving eyes look into mine
And then I discover pain,
You show me scar filled hands and feet,
You let me see YOUR shame,
Never did I bleed as YOU,
Never was I smitten
Never did I give my life,
As Yahushua did for me...

Self pity is for selfish ones,
Who do not see YOUR love,
Who prefer self pity over You,
Who rather boast of pain,
Who in so doing, deny the ONE
Who died and rose again

May my boast be of YOU YHWH,
May my words of me be few
Self pity is a boast of evil
In YOUR love, YOU overcame
You triumphed over all evil
Your gave YOUR live for me
With my breath YOUR praise I tell
Yahushua, yes Emmanuel!


Co-authored with YHWH.
He gave the words, I wrote them down.

Blessings,
Tamar

Shalom Tamar,

that was a beautiful poem. and with such a wonderful, well-needed message!

thank you for sharing and being used by the Father!


**just a further thought**

i had to come back and add this, after considering your poem once more, specifically this line:

"Self pity is for selfish ones,"

if you were to transliterate the word "selfish" into Hebrew, you might end up with the following "seleph-ish." the word "ish" probably readily stands out as being the word for "man," and the word "seleph" simply means "perversness/wickedness/twistedness." so a selfish person is one whose proper focus has been "twisted or perverted" away from the Father and His Son, to themselves. our attention and focus in life is not to be on ourselves - we are to die to self and let Messiah love and live and move and minister through us.

just a thought i wanted to add! hope it was uplifting in some way.

Shalom naesimo,

i was just reading back through the other poems/songs posted on here and read your posts about AdoniYah.

what an awesome thing concerning his poems! the Father is good and does good to and through His people! praise Him for using us and manifesting gifts and talents in His body!

on another note - one question maybe you can help me with:

Linkin Park - i noticed you posted the lyrics to some of their songs. i recently heard "What I've Done" on the radio at work, and the lyrics seemed surprisingly uplifting (almost spiritual). i thought they were a secular band, but some of their lyrics are making me think otherwise. i am not familiar with them other than their name and the specific song i've just mentioned, do you know anything about their personal beliefs?

kinda curious, just wondering if you had any info.


Chayim b'Moshiach (Life in Messiah)

I didn't check to see who was logged in before I responded but it was Renae who wrote this!!!



Burning One,

Yeah I don't think it was just a coincidence you started this topic and then AdoniYah wrote his first poetry !!!

Here is a little info on the members of Linkin' Park: Their latest album "Minutes to Midnight" is based on the Doomsday Clock.

Chester Bennington: Bennington was born in Phoenix, Arizona.[1] He took interest in music at a young age, citing Depeche Mode and Stone Temple Pilots as early inspirations.[1] Bennington's parents separated in the late 1980s, while he was still a child.[1] He was sexually abused during his youth, and later struggled with cocaine and methamphetamine addictions.[1] Bennington eventually overcame his drug addiction, and would go on to denounce drug use in future interviews.[2] He worked at a Burger King restaurant before starting his career as a professional musician.[1]
(I don't know about his religious beliefs but I would say he's more secular) _______________________________________________________________________________

Rob Bourdon: Rob was born in Calabasas, California and now lives in Los Angeles. He grew up in the same town as the members of Incubus and Hoobastank.
Rob started to play the drums after watching an Aerosmith concert. His mother was the girlfriend of Joey Kramer, Aerosmith's drummer, so they were able to go backstage and see the entire production; Kramer also gave Rob a kick pedal.

In late 2006, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park said on Tattoo Stories that his bandmates Rob and Brad didn't have any tattoos for religious reasons. Both are actively of the Jewish faith.

Bradford Phillip Delson (born December 1, 1977, in Agoura, California[1]), is a Jewish musician best known as the lead guitarist and temporary bassist for the band Linkin Park. He is also the A&R for Machine Shop Recordings.
Delson graduated from Agoura High School in 1995 and formed Xero with Mike Shinoda whom he knew since the seventh grade, which would later become Linkin Park. He graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles with a degree in communications, but decided to forget law school to pursue a career with Linkin Park.

David Farrell was born in Plymouth, Massachusetts but later moved to Mission Viejo, California when he was five. He attended Mission Viejo High School. He also graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1999 . He is adept at playing the bass guitar, electric guitar, cello and violin. He has also been known to play an upright bass at some concerts.

Farrell was a member of a Christian ska/Christian punk band known as the Tasty Snax. While attending college, he would practice with Brad Delson in their dorm room together. However, because he had to play and tour with the Tasty Snax, he could not play with Delson and his band, which would become Linkin Park. After changing their name to Snax, Farrell began playing bass guitar in the band before leaving once again to join Linkin Park full-time to play bass. Farrell's fellow band mate Mark Fiore became Linkin Park's videographer. As described in the inlay for Reanimation he uses an Ernie Ball MusicMan Bass.

Joseph Hahn, often known as Mr. Hahn, is a musician and director of Korean descent best known as the turntablist for the American band Linkin Park.
Hahn joined Linkin Park when the band was called Xero in 1996 as the band's turntablist. Since then, he has directed music videos for most singles of his band, with the exceptions of "One Step Closer", "Crawling" and "Faint". He is referenced to as Mr. Hahn at the beginning of "Cure for the Itch" from "Hybrid Theory".

On the new album Minutes to Midnight, Joe Hahn contributes more to programming with his sound effects board and uses more of his MIDI board. The only songs he uses turntables in Minutes To Midnight are the minor roles in "What I've Done", "Valentine's Day", and "In Pieces."
_______________________________________________________________________________

Mike Shinoda was raised in the Los Angeles suburb of Agoura Hills.[1] Mike has a younger brother (born 1979) named Jason.[1][2]

His first exposure to music came during his middle and high school years, and attended a concert featuring Anthrax and Public Enemy[3] He attended Chester W. Nimitz Middle School in Huntington Park.[citation needed] After that, he began taking piano lessons, studying classical pianist techniques, and later moved on to jazz and hip hop. It was during this period that he added the guitar and, eventually, rap-style vocals to his repertoire. [3]

After his teens, Mike Shinoda's rap interests found a source of encouragement in friend Brad Delson, with whom he started to write and record songs in a makeshift studio set up in his basement. Shinoda attended Agoura High School with Linkin Park bandmate Brad Delson, as well as with members of the band Hoobastank. By the end of high school, drummer Rob Bourdon had become involved in their musical ventures. The trio formed the band Xero, and began to make a more serious attempt to pursue a career in the music industry.

After high school, Shinoda enrolled in the Art Center College of Design to study graphic design and illustration.[1] It was here that he made the acquaintance of DJ and turntablist Joseph Hahn, who, along with Delson's college-mate Phoenix, was soon added to Xero's line-up. Shinoda eventually graduated from college with a degree in illustration, securing himself a job as a graphic designer right after graduation.[1] With his background as a graphic artist, Shinoda has taken it upon himself in designing all of Linkin Park's artwork with Hahn, and has even designed the album cover for Styles of Beyond's debut album, 2000 Fold. In later years he would go on to showcase his art skills;[citation needed] he had his debut art showcase at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles in the time leading up to Linkin Park's album Minutes To Midnight.
