I was once the devil

A man lived in fear and rage,

Trying to survive hell

I'm trapped in my own world.

I was once a devil,

Who was a traitor and cheater,

Before my life was taken away,

No one could save me.

All those years of hiding

Breaking those voices in my head

I thought the devil has won,

I decided to end those thoughts for good,

A beautiful girl came into my life,

Love was pure and innocent

Washes my sins away,

That eases my burdens and pain.

I found my sacred church

Where I worshipped her in my home,

I love her like every religion

Heal my heart like priests words.

She kissed my fears away

I realized the war is over

Never have rage inside of me,

Everything changed for the better.

All bickering and anger had vanished,

My tears have wiped away

She crosses my path with love,

Rinsing all my pain with full of joy.

She reached into my heart,

While I was into her love

I knew nothing would tear us apart,

As she showed me the way of hope.

I was once the Devil,

Who was a serpent of satan

From garden to the forbidden tree

That i choose between life or death.

I kneel down and prayed

Ask God forgiveness and erase those sins,

I used to hurt everyone,

Now my heart realizes the heartache.

I believe In God, lead me the way

Before I lose my faith I shall find

Redemption again to never play with devil

I finally see God's full of sunshine,

Go ahead and take a seat,

You can feel your heart beat

Adrenaline rush in your veins,

The fireworks explode in the sky.

Keep your eyes on me

Can't miss this last chance,

Time to the let the show go on

Then all of my circus amusements.

You see fire circling upon us

And flame out of my mouth,

You can feel the heat tonight

Life will burst you out of your seat.

Keeps your heart pumping

And clowns can do Juggling

To entertain you for nights

Left you with no words.

And men swallow sharp swords

If that's not enough?

Watch the canon ball explodes

Right thru your eyes.

You may Jump up and down,

You can feel on your soul

Don't ever closed your eyes,

And keep your Jaw wide open.

You see I whipped a giant lion,

As you watched his bare teeth

And the loud roar to my face,

But when you feel the sweat.

We'll leave you speechless

We can blow your mind away,

But chills run down your spine,

Welcome to my circus world.

My circus World.

In my first attempt at learning and progressing,

I stumbled, sinned, and fell,

Lost, but unaware of the extent,

The path becoming increasingly rough.

God knows better than I,

Even in the face of adversity, He charts my course,

My destiny remains unclear,

Just as I'm about to give up,

God knows my strength.

Every thorn I've tread, every road laced with sharp stones,

Regardless of the toll they take,

I know God is watching me,

I kneel and pray, questioning why I must endure such trials.

He knows better than I,

Just as life offers a glimpse of brighter days,

I strive to do things my way,

Yet God knows better than I, guiding my journey,

I cannot stress this enough.

Yet, apprehension hinders me from expressing,

As the days grow colder and He lights my way,

Every minute, every hour of the day,

I am aware of God meticulously watching over me.

Each time I kneel and pray,

God shields and safeguards me,

He knows better than I,

Though I lack answers, deep within, He knows,

He truly is the only Lord.

When the road becomes arduous,

When my faith begins to waver,

I am certain He will lift me up,

Lord, You are my strength through it all,

I implore Your mercy,

For You know better than I.

Just as life reveals the way,

I witness the sunlight shining upon me,

I step towards that beacon of hope,

Understanding what truly matters,

For God is by my side, always.

Life is like a roller coaster ride,

I don't want to lose faith's guiding light.

With God, I am unstoppable,

We will cherish each day and night.

People may try to discourage us from worshiping you,

But they fail to see our deep connection,

Nobody truly understands empathy and compassion,

These are qualities we need to affectionately mention.

No, they cannot tear us apart,

Love is free and the Bible says it conquers all,

Love will forever be a part of our heart,

Implanting scriptures and verses, shaping us into wisdom's thrall.

I will hold you dear in my heart,

Even when life seems to crumble and fall,

I release all my pain to you, as we never part,

You teach me to be strong and morally tall.

I do not require anyone's approval, I simply follow your advice,

Jesus taught us to love one another,

To love our neighbors as we love ourselves,

One step at a time, proving nothing to others.

Because you dwell within my heart's core,

No one can deter us from the path we tread,

They cannot break our walls, disconnect our worship's lore,

We will remain strong and true to our moral compass, as we are led.

You tried to break my soul, Satan,

Won't back down.

Devouring and breaking my spirit,

Prayers to overcome.

Battling unhealthy habits like drinking and smoking cigarettes.

I'm stronger than you think,

Satan and his demons won't control my life.

Your dark bound spells won't harm me,

God, in every psalm, protects me from the darkness.

Satan, you won't break my aura and lightness,

Wisdom and truth will weaken your soul.

Life comes in a new way, and truth comes with winning and glory from God.

All temptations are gone from you.

I guess you mean nothing to me,

But a false idol from unearthly realms.

I gave my full faith and sacrificed,

And now I'm strong enough to conquer my addictions.

Because I have carried all my sins and repented,

Now I bounce back with my faith.

I am enlightened with hope and courage,

God's guardian angels have carried me through it all,

The power to withstand all dark evilness.

All of your ignorance,

All of your ego,

Will never control my human soul.

You have no strength to conquer my body,

You no longer hurt or devour me.

All my faith, energy, and kindness speak truth,

And now I am strong enough.

Finally

God is like a house

To give you shelter from the storm

He was built to make you strong

To withstand every single pain

God is like a house

He protects you from everything

People will just break you down

With nothing but empty words

That don't mean anything at all

God is like shelter from the pouring days

He will hear your call every single day

With every concrete, nail, and wood

Count your blessings

Because God is your home

Maybe like a church with crosses

God welcomes you like a house

With every meal and bedroom for you

Family can be a blessing

God is like a house, for every blessing counts.

God is like a house, caring and kind,

Providing.

A sacred home, meant to comfort your soul,

In His loving embrace.

Every little thing matters, great or small,

God gives you chances, answering your call.

He loves you in every possible way,

Your survivor, guiding you each day.

God is like a house,

A place to rely, with every prayer,

He'll give you all that you need,

In your life, His love will forever pour.

Call upon Him

He'll save you from strife,

For every life, He's there, shaping your life.

God is your savior and truth,

Providing care and love from your youth.

Only God Can Save Me

I gave you my heart, prayed for all my sins,

In my heart, I feel unholy and unclean.

Jesus died for our sins, or so it's believed,

Our last dream of him, in the days we've received.

Fond memories haunt me, each passing day.

There's something about us, a love worth fighting for,

Is the Holy Spirit guiding me, your honesty, I adore.

Is a spirit leading me towards you,

I've never lied; my heart remains pure and true.

God, save me, only He can set me free.

I give you my heart, showcasing all my love,

You taught life's meaning, battling demons above.

Like a preacher unburdening the demons within,

The fire still burns, I won't give up, even when it's grim.

A hole in my chest, yet I won't bear all the weight,

Jesus enters my life, repenting sins, cleansing my slate.

Prayers for a healed heart, a chance to renew,

Darkness won't break me, I won't let it imbue.

Our lives will change, but shadows won't bring us down,

I'll make any sacrifice for you, giving all I own,

Only God can save me from pain and sorrow's tide,

Protected like a sacred holy ground, His wisdom will guide.

There's a truth in that, I'll never stumble and fall,

Only God can save me, I surrender to His call.

Uphill journey

I can see the uphill battle before me,

Carrying the weight of my past like a burden.

These stones breaking my back,

But Jesus has shown me the way.

Though tomorrow may appear daunting,

And hope seems to slip away,

There's a voice within urging me to keep moving,

For on that mountain, the sun will gleam.

Life, a constant uphill battle,

Navigating hurdles of pain along the way.

When the winds howl and the night grows cold,

I push forward, even in the midst of the storm.

Through the depths of misery, I persist,

Knowing that one day I'll witness the sun's rays.

Its brightness will guide me through,

And I'll thank Jesus for a brand-new day.

With each passing day, I pray for hope and dreams,

Though people try to quell my spirit's fire.

I continue to push through, never giving up,

For I know God is guiding me and illuminating my path.

Every step, every move, holds significance,

And I thank the Lord for the strength bestowed upon me.

Day by day, I make my way to the mountaintop,

With gratitude in my heart and the will to overcome.

Life was simple and beautiful,

But then my haunting past came back to me.

Thoughts of never being good enough

Keep running through my mind.

When I look in the mirror, I see

A reflection of past trauma,

A broken smile and heartache

That no one else knows about.

We all have our flaws,

But the fears and doubts in your mind

Are just illusions,

Causing chaos and worry.

Anxiety and depression

Are creations of your imagination,

Linked to past traumas,

Such as parental fights and losing loved ones.

These reflections of the past

Keep haunting me,

But I have learned to forgive myself

Through prayer and reading the Bible.

Taking each step forward,

I realize that the key to overcoming this battle

Is by asking God for His love and mercy.

Without Him, these doubts will never fade.

I find myself trapped in a maze,

A maze constructed by my own traumas.

But through God's amazing grace,

I am learning to erase these doubts.

God will listen to your prayers,

And guide you towards the light.

This is not the end, my friend,

For God has a purpose for your life.

The darkness that haunts you

Will not prevail,

As love will lead you back.

Life's journey has been a struggle, blocked by a dam Embracing only circles without a plan

Jesus is my savior, who holds my hand

God never forsakes, helping me stand

His word speaks to me, like whispers from the wind

Although I've carried burdens, now I begin

Why do I feel anguish and sorrow?

When I repent and kneel before the morrow

The Heaven's gates open and the sun beams down

Jesus' love and grace lifts me off the ground

God's word cleanses me, like a stream that flows so pure

Purging my heart, my faith will forever endure

I was once a non-believer, belligerent to God's word

Until I became devout and my vision was blurred

God then opened my eyes, His truth became clear

I know my savior is always near

Like a river flowing, I am headed for home

God's grace has given me a place to roam

Christ was baptized in the Jordan River

And so his spirit I will forever deliver

My sins of the past have disappeared

The light shining bright, my destiny is here

Thank you God for all your blessings

For this I know, my faith is progressing

In the water, I feel something divine

Amazing grace soothes my mind

God's love is always flowing

Saving me from sins overthrowing

My baptism symbolizes my faith

I am a beacon of hope and grace

Guided by the Holy Spirit's plan

My spiritual power protecting me from sin's quicksand.
