Destiny has a lifetime...

"We stand on the promise of destiny, I will not fail, it claims, it is meant to be; You walk as was preordained, and there I see you; searching still, as though you know not your path. I say this, and yet... I am there also, wondering where it is I shall find you again. It is written in the depths of the heart where destiny takes note, and yet as a puzzle, intriguing, for the end is there, but... how to reach it? That is the dilemma, and the reason for the searching. On the roads lay out before us, we travel, a step at the time, each our own way, until the time is right... for destiny has a lifetime to fulfill." –Dan Frenette

Close your eyes
Block your ears
Ignore your fright
Ignore your fears
Dark as night
Hot as tears
Words that bite
Words that sear
Prove them wrong
Make them hear
All along
You were near
Tell them now
We're both in pain
All that's left
Is what remains
Let them know
Let them see
It was I for you
And you for me

-----------------

The battle lines have been drawn,
And all are choosing sides.
Some will switch sides at dawn,
And some will change at dusk.
But when the war is over,
Those who died can't change.
The place they go will welcome them
Whether for good or bad.

So, will you choose the winning side,
The side that I am on?
Or the side that goes to hide?
That will cause them to loose.
Victory will not come unless
You choose to live the cross.
If you say "yes" then come with us,
And victory will be yours! ~Gulden-Angel

The Treasures of the Snow

Oh man, that liftest up thy heart

And boasteth in thy way,

Dost though know whose design thou are,

Who formed thee from the clay?

By whose word that first morning’s dew

Did cause green herbs to grow?

And hast though entered in unto

The treasures of the snow?

And canst thou tell whence falls the rain,

Who formed the frost and hail?

How grows the grass on yonder plain,

Where no man doth travail?

And where th Gypsy wind has been

And where it next shall blow?

And hast though ented in and seen

The treasures of the snow?

And though who reasons with surmise

And treats His Word with scorn.

Canst thou command the sun to rise

And cause the day to dawn?

And hast thou searched the sea’s

Deep springs,

Their secrets do you know?

Canst thou expain such hidden things

As treasures of the snow?

Yet when thy errant ways are kissed

By white-clad flakes from Heaven,

And thou dost stumble in the mist

And to thy knees are driven;

Wilt thou not seek to understand

The lesson He would show,

And search out by His guiding hand

The treasures of the snow?

For when the night’s bleak, fearsome storm

Doth to the morning yield,

And dancing sunbeams gently warm

They white-clad vale and field,

With radiance bright as angel’s wings

All nature then doth glow,

And promise fresh awakenings

From treasures in the snow.

It is in mercy not in wrath,

By plan, not skittish whim,

That He doth shroud your earthly path,

That you may search for Him.

To cover all thy scarlet sin,

His precious blood did flow,

Oh, seek His cleansing power within

The treasures of the snow.

Angels Watched Close

As a child I was, sent with so much love,
Heaven-cherished from up above,
Wisdom granted from it's halls.
But I could hear the far-out calls!
I'd always sought much more from life,
Not expecting so much strife.

I left behind all I had been,
Hoping in the world to be a queen,
A star with glamour, oh so bright!
But instead I was in for loss and fright.
Good intentions I'd hoped to sow,
But was lured by a foe.


A friend to me, or so he seemed,
Offering everything I had dreamed.
He knew about my rugged past,
And promised our new life would last.
I can't forget his patient stare;
He waited for me my soul to bare,

Hiding from me his jagged knife,
Waiting for the moment to take my life.
A voice I'd known for many years before
Whispered, "He's leading you to the green door."
I laughed it off. "You know not what you say.
"He is my friend, and with him, I'll stay."

Parties and laughs we had together.
I never suspected his love would waver.
One night he raged and I saw in his eyes
Something I did not recognize--
The hatred, the lies, the bitter deceit,
And upon my body he did beat.

With no one around to hear my cry,
I remembered the mercy of One on high.
His loving arms enveloped me.
He wished so much to set me free,
Never looking at the pain I'd caused
In running from His honorable cause.

Angels watched close, and when I'd cry
They'd wipe the tears away from my eyes.
As I slept they'd whisper, "Dear,
"You've been so sad. Won't you let Heaven near?"
I again rejected Heaven's peace;
I sought worldly things for my release.

The faster I ran, the harder I fell,
Nothing I did would break the spell.
Confusion and darkness all around--
Everyone I turned to was also bound.
With every quest and source I sought,
Nothing of this world could be bought

To ease the emptiness inside,
For all the love I had defied
Bare and broken, I let out a groan.
Angels said, "Your true Love won't leave
you alone!"
I had been stripped of my pride.
Only harmony did I wish to abide.

On that day a voice called me Home:
"You're always welcome under love's dome."
"I have rest for your soul, truth and care;
"All you need to do is stay close in prayer.
"Do all you can to unchain those bound.
"You've been there--send this rescue around."

Only through Heave can we find this light.
My brothers and sisters, hold on tight!
Stay true to cause, never give in!
And through His power we WILL WIN.

--Faith A.

When Satan comes to tempt me, I will take my stand.
When words spewed forth rock my faith, I will take my stand.
When his doubts and lies confuse me, I will take my stand.
When he tempts me to quit, I will take my stand.
When his words seem so convincing, I will take my stand.
When he causes me to question my beliefs, I’m gonna take my stand.
When I feel overwhelmed by his accusa­tions, still I will take my stand.
When his attacks are personal and hurt me, I’ll take my stand.
When his influence is tempting me to doubt Your words, I’m gonna take my stand.
When others around are losing their faith, I’ll take my stand.
I will take my stand and will not give in to his puny attempts to try to overthrow my faith.
I will take my stand and show the Devil what I’m made of.
I will take my stand, for it is not I that live, but You, my Love, who live in me.
I’ll take my stand, for I have all Heaven fighting for me, with legions at my command.
I’ll take my stand, for it is battles like this that bring out the fighter in me.
I’m gonna take my stand and rejoice in the battle, for victory is assured.
I’ll take my stand and remind myself that I am destined to win many to Jesus, and this is why the Devil hates me and tries to fight me.
I will take my stand and love this fight, bran­dishing the keys and the new weapons made available to me.
I will take my stand, for I have joined the ranks of those that have gone before me who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake.
I will take my stand and not go back on it, for it is in standing my ground that the Enemy of my soul finds himself trembling and running in defeat.
I will know no defeat, for I have taken my stand.

I see love

At the end of the tunnel..

"Call on the keys of bravery as you walk through the fire, for peace amids a raging storm, for courage to smile through your tears and for faith to hold on till you see My rainbow of victory."

---There's Always a Light---

Chorus: There's always a light at the end of every tunnel, after every night a new day is born, and for everything that ends, there is a new beginning and the sun will return, after every storm.

Verse 1: Desperately you cry, to see a clear blue sky, but so many clouds are in the way.
Though your ships have broken sails, the Lord will never fail, bringing you safely home again!

Chorus: There's always a light at the end of every tunnel, after every night a new day is born, and for everything that ends, there is is a new beginning, and the sun will return after every storm.

Verse 2: Mountains that you climb, may take a little time, before you reach the top!
Though it's rough along the way, the cares of yesterday , will fly away in victory! Victory!

Chorus 2: Oh, there's always a light at the end of every tunnel, after every night a new day is born, and for everything that ends there is a new beginning, and the sun will return after every storm.
Yes, the sun will return, it will return after every storm!

Today I decided to "do the humble thing" and play for inspiration ... (now those that know me will agree with me that I don't play cuz I am just too proud to do so, not that I play well, but I can make a joyful noise unto the Lord...) when looking around through the song books, this song seemed to jump out at me, and when I played it, I was amazed at how I truly felt these words were written for me.
I have just recently really started to pay attention to the lyrics of songs, and though I knew the words to this one, it had never really meant more than nice "encouraging" words, yet this time, I felt as if every word that I sang, I meant it with my whole heart.
Anyways, I just wanted to share this lil bit with you.
Praying for you! I LOVE YOU!!

King of Hearts

As painted harlequins,
We dance like mannequins,
But when the last note rings
I wonder just who pulls the strings.
I'll watch the curtains fall,
And this once enchanted ball
Becomes another empty hall,
Like nothing happened here at all.

Where are u my king?
Where are u my majesty?
Critic’s pen may praise my art,
Of playing each and every part.
But I need you my one true king of hearts.

We laugh and sing till after noon,
We dance beneath the silver moon,
We hide behind our pretty mask,
So that we may perform the task,
Of looking happy everyday,
Though we just wish to run away,
From this big fake and mockering,
From all the lies and suffering

I cry for u so desperately,
I call for u so earnestly,
My one true king of hearts.
Where are u my king?
Where are u my majesty?
What good’s the taste of sweet success?
In my bitter cup of loneliness
Without u, my one true king of hearts?

Sitting still with charm and poise
While trying to block out all the noise
That comes from every single door
I promise not to ask for more...

Than this come back to me,
Come back to me my king,
Come to set me free,
Wipe my tears away,
And help me to be brave
Thought I may stand alone
Please help me to stand strong
And give your truth away
So all may see the day
When you return to us my one true king of hearts.
