When Two Become...

In Dedication to the Normans
can I ask a question? if good things come to those who wait
what is the secret for those wait for great?
man & woman created by the epitome of love in His image 
love is not a game; no need for a scrimmage 
no it's a commitment for two to be one as the One covers two 
for many plan the wedding but fail to plan after the "I Do" 
it's so true that no two people are the same; Yet, God saw fit to piece 
two pictures into one frame and form a link with Himself completing the chain 
How incredible is the journey on the road of life? 
God in his infinite plan brought you together starting under the street lights
your love never ceased and once it reached its height
you took the step of becoming husband and wife 
it didn't happen overnight, but that's alright 
the meaningful relationship you have is only a reflection of Christ
as you continue on the path love takes, God makes no mistakes
therefore allow nothing to cause your foundation to shake 
you now have one set of footprints; listen... you hear that? its one heartbeat
because when two become one, in Him you are complete

Beauty IN the Beast



dirt. yes, the stuff that shows i'm unclean
try to hide it, try to wipe it up like mr. clean
it takes too much effort to put on a scene
so i remove myself from behind the screen
see i was Christ-less, because I thought i needed Christ less
but the more that I saw myself, i realize i was dead wrong
yes i was dead... and wrong in my thinking
in my cup i was drinking a double shot of death
you could smell it on my breath
see the side-effects in every step because i could stand to see what i had become
but Jesus died so that even the beast within could have beauty
He took my old, so that he could give a new me
but there is a struggle to say the least
because how can I accept the beauty of His gift when daily i am a beast?
I feel inadequate to even speak, yet here i am sent to reach
using the very words that times cage me in
God, you know my ends and outs
oh God you know my doubts
oh God you see my heart before i ever open my mouth
oh God since you won't take me out
oh God since i must continue this route?
God help me appreciate the beauty that you've designed to bring out....
