While I was Listening You opened my eyes while I was asleep And all Your dreams revealed to me A land to be conquered through gentleness A world that's devoured by cleverness Crafty are the serpents ways Minds are host to thoughts depraved Smooth and silent the serpent slips in Souls are weak to the powers of sin His eyes of love will viciously kill Those accepting of his poison instilled He whispers the words we want to hear Unaware that he is our greatest fear We like zombies walk his dreadful path While all along mockingly he laughs He's so sure he's got our souls for good With the strings we're his puppets of wood Dangling from his taloned fingertips We wait to decay into the abyss But our Lord and Saviour with eyes of fire Will smite the dragon, 'tis His main desire But we who he's called must willingly act Upon the words given, the call to attack And gird ourselves with the armour to fight The day has finally come, there'll be no sleep tonight For the angel of death 24-7 is on the prowl Waiting for the moment when our guard comes down Stand your ground, soldiers--stand your ground And your reward shall be; no longer lost but found S. West copyrighted 05/06/99 Am I So Weak? Why do I fall When things are going so well Why do I betray my Lord Just to fall into hell Why do I listen to words Full of deceit and lies Why do I ignore my Lord I am crying inside Why do I try to appease My own fleshly desires Why do I cast my Lord Into my sinful mire Why do I become hardened When I've finally become soft Why do I place His word High and aloft Why do I do the things I know in my heart are wrong Why is my Savior not placed In the stature where He belongs First and foremost in my life S. West copyrighted 8 March 2000 I Am Learning The pain returns to tear deep inside The scars into wounds that were yearning just to die Yet soft, silent and deadly is this evil poison Leaving me stranded, lonely and poignant I cry to the outer most parts of this earth Where is my strength and my inner worth Why does this poison inflict only me I am slowly dying, can you not see (this) I don't know how to wait patiently for you I don't know how to be alone, find me so confused I don't know why I make this harder than it is For deep inside I know you're impossible to miss Where, oh lord, do you hide your sweet peace Lead me to the waters, set my heart at ease Lift me up to higher ground, save me from the flood I'm yearning for freedom through your redeeming blood I reach to feel, yet you say "My child, rely not On experiences or feelings, for that is not God" I search with longing, and that's when you say "You are learning and I am proud. Here I am today" So you filter your love through my mortal being As I feel loneliness and depression now are freeing Their needles of injection from my submissive skin Replaced with peace and love and comfort deep within S. West copyrighted 4-10-00 Ancient Friend or Fiend I find that once again Jealousy has come to be my friend Without an invitation He stays for his duration I try to flout his presence But he leaves a lingering essence That malevolently takes its place Upon the paths I now retrace I try to refute his force But like a river he runs his course Till another page is turned And a bridge I've grown to love is burned So I listen with deaf ears Yet inside there rages ardent fear While he scoffs and laughs at me Upon my knees I gasp to breathe Yet until I learn to find My strength lies not within mankind But rather in Christ my Lord The Word made flesh, a two-edged sword That kills the enemy Tis the only remedy Where once again peace can reside And the pain of loving shall subside Thus I shall cling to my Savior's side S. West copyrighted 3/24/00 Falling By The Scores Little boy walking down the street Little girl prays her soul to keep Little boy tries to be discreet Little girl falls down at his feet One by one they're falling down Innocent lives are laid to waste Who's gonna intercede for them Who's going down on their knees to pray Little boy holds a loaded gun Little girl with nowhere to run Little boy puts her life at stake Little girl kneels to face her fate One by one they're falling down Innocent lives are laid to waste Who's gonna intercede for them Who's going down on their knees to pray Little boy kneels beside his bed Little girl's thoughts are being fed Little boy calls her on the phone Little girl says he's not alone I've been praying too One by one they're falling down Innocent lives are laid to waste Who's gonna intercede for them Who's going down on their knees to pray Why are our children on their knees While we sit and watch them die Living our lives in complacency Living our lives to die S.
