Some poetry and song lyrics I wrote in HS.



Mighty

The Majesty of mountain heights,
The gracefulness of birds in flight.
Endless life beneath the seas,
A million forests bound with trees.

The wonders of eternal grace,
To die that I might see your face.
The love I barely understand,
To suffer for the sins of man.

Lord, so mighty,
Lord on high.
I kneel before you,
Adonai

In every detail of creation,
In every race, in every nation,
In the molding of man's mortal heart,
The world can see your works of art.

In every miracle and sign,
In creation's grand design,
The sun, the stars, the sea and land,
All fit within your mighty hand.

Lord so mighty,
Lord on high.
I kneel before you,
Adonai.




Aslan's Table

The Lion bound upon the stone
Slain for someone else's wrong
Tortured by the evil one

He spoke the words of wisdom,
though the child refused to listen,
Now for stubbornness the innocent dies,

When the Emperor Across the seas
Carved the words in the stone,
He knew that this dayof judgement would come

And the stone then was broke,
The lion, He lives
Redeeming the child
Paying the price for him

*And though the lion was captured,
And upon the table slain,
Mocked by his killers,
Who cut off his mane

He shall never surrender,
To pride or to pain,
For because of his mercy,
He lives once again*

Aslan, the chosen one,
Answered his call,
Though worthy of honor,
He sacrificed all.

For the pride of the lion,
Didn't stand in his way,
He conquered the table
He conquered the grave




Vision

I saw the lamb...
Pierced for my transgressions.
My Hell, he suffered,
My punishment endured.

The wolves surround him,
They mock him, hate him.
They spit upon their savior.
Father forgive them...

Father, look upon the Cross
Why is your son forsaken?
Slain for me Lord, for the lost.
The souls of saints awaken.

A tear from the sky....
Falling for His only son.
The veil is torn now,
The gates of Heaven open wide.

The grave is open...
Turn your eyes to see,
Hope for the wicked.
The fallen ones like me.

The secret tears I shed...
From a heart torn by this hopeless world.
So many die around me...
So many already dead.

Let the hopeless ones.
See visions of the lamb...
Let them see salvation,
Let them see the Hope of Man




The Hill

Within me it beats faster than my heart
It is the life inside me
You can break me or tear me apart
But I will always be free

Loneliness threatens to eat a my soul
But my soul strongly stands
When I feel that I've lost all control
I put my life in Your hands

Up on a hill
Time Standing still.....

*Saved by your pain you bore
Not a slave any more
That day on Calvary,
My savior set me free*

My wrongs are washed in your grace
You healed the guilt in me
Blood running down your face
All that I might be free

Up on that hill
Time standing still.....

**

You shed a tear for all men
Broke your body for me
Now that you live once again
I live eternally

Up on this hill
Time standing still.....

**




The Dragon Shall Fall

An army of one,
truth as his sword,
light as his weapon
fulfilling his word

Onward he'll march
through the fear and the pain
His destiny
to extinguish the flame

*Warrior of the faith,
stronger than all,
Fulfilling his duty,
The Dragon shall fall.*

Sirens they call,
Eyes glowing with fire,
Hoping he'll fall
giving in to desire

But faith is his shield
He must stand strong,
His only goal,
To vanquish the wrong.

**

The devious beast,
Engulfed in his pride
Shall raise himself up
Just to fall in mid-stride

Though his power is great
He never shall win,
His weapon: Deciet,
He's shielded by sin

**

Then the Dragon shall rise
and sound the war cry
And the Warrior shall fight
And the Dragon shall Die

A Cry from the Silent Planet

I know Lord that your ways are higher, and that you know much more than I,
But I still can’t help but wonder: How could you let the world come to this?
Was Solomon correct to say that “All is meaningless”?
Was he not the wisest man to live?

Here I stand God, seeking to understand your justice.
Is there any justice in this life? Or must we wait for the next to see it?
What is the greatest sin in your eyes?
Who has done you the most wrong?

I guess that all I know is that justice exists whether in this life or the next.
The deepest hate I’ve found is apathy,
The greatest sin I know is inaction,
And the vilest offender of either is fear…

God, while I still walk upon this Silent Planet,
Give me the strength to love, and the courage to act…
For the most abundant gift you’ve given me is time;
Let none of it go to waste…

Miracles
by David M. Whitaker

I saw a miracle today…
No, there was no fire from the sky,
No blind men saw, and no paraplegics got up and walked.
The ground didn’t shake beneath my feet and remove all obstacles in my way.
There was no healing of sickness or speaking in tongues.
The real question is, had any of these things happened, would it seem like a miracle?
In this day and age, fire from the sky is a horror of war,
New technologies are healing the deaf, blind and lame.
There are whole professions dedicated to moving obstacles or healing the sick…
The miracle today came in the form of a white blossom.
Many actually….
The first blossoms of spring have begun to bloom on the trees.
It’s beautiful.
Nothing created at the hands of man can compare to the beauty of a spring flower.
Nothing created by man can compare to the raw power of the sea…
Nothing man has created can illuminate the sky by day or night…
And most importantly, Nothing man has created is truly alive….
Miracles are all around; you just have to look for them.

I was reading trough all of my old blogs on Myspace and I came across this gem. I just found it amusing enough to put in here



Last Night and Today:

The difference between last night and today were night and day. (wow that sounded stupid.) Well, anyway, by that I mean that last night was awesome and today sucked. I saw my friends in Snyper perform at the Showcase Showdown last night. They did pretty good. They had technical difficulties, but their music is awesome, so it wasn't a dissappointment really. Oh and there was another band there called Hand of Fate. They were amazing! But then you have today. It would be hard to get into my reasons for hating today, but I'll just sum it up. Choir today consisted of coreography, which I hate, and then the rest was mostly us getting a lecture about how we are supposed to be claravoyant and should have known that we, as students, were supposed to be doing all of the planning for the Spring Concert. Well, that was the fun part of the day. I went on later to my language arts class and got my research paper back. Well, basically my teacher corrected my paper as if I was doing a shadowing project, while I'm actually doing a portfolio project. If this make no sense to you, don't worry. The point is that she's incompetent. At any rate, when I explained her error to her, she basically told me that she would have to re-read my paper and that I am supposed to take time out of my schedule so that she can do so. Personally I don't give a crap what she says now. I don't feel I should be punished for her idiocy. Well there you have it. My whole rant. I hope it isn't a downer to the reader. Have a nice day and whatever.

Writer's Block
by David M. Whitaker


Writer's block....

It's very........ there's a good way to start a sentence....

It makes me feel incredibly........ I don't know......

I can't describe how much it....... Then why am I writing this?......

I can only describe it as....... This one's leading nowhere.....

There are days when a writer just feels...... A little……

So many things can be said about..... No wait...... That's just the problem.....

There isn't much to say about writers block.....

Wow..... That was pointless.
