ALL AROUND ME JESUS

ALL AROUND ME JESUS
I FIND YOU EVERYWHERE
PICTURES,POSTERS,BOOKMARKS
SHOWING ME YOUR TENDER LOVING CARE

ALL AROUND ME JESUS
THROUGH PEOPLE,PLACES AND THINGS
I SEE THE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD
AND THE PEACE AND JOY YOU CAN BRING

ALL AROUND ME JESUS
I SEE SUMMER,SPRING,WINTER AND FALL
CREATIONS OF YOUR MAGNIFICANT WONDERS
GIVEN TO US ONE AND ALL

YET SADNESS SURROUNDS ME
OH HELP ME LORD TO ONCE AGAIN CARE
FOR MY HEART IS HOLLOW AND EMPTY
FOR I HAVE REFUSED TO LET YOU LIVE THERE

I SIN I LIE I CHEAT AND PRETEND
THAT YOUR THE FOUNDATION OF MY LIFE
BUT I TURN TO SELF EACH DAY
AND I CONTINUE TO DROWNED IN THIS STRIFE

I KNOW LIKE THE BACK OF MY HAND
ALL THE HOPE AND GOODNESS YOU POSSES
BUT THE DEVIL,S HOLD ON THIS MADDNING WORLD
KEEPS ME SILENT WHEN I WANT TO CONFESS

THAT ALL AROUND ME JESUS
I SEE SOMEONE BEING CHANGED OR HEALED
AND MY HEART WANTS TO CRY OUT JESUS I AM HERE
BUT MY LIPS REMAIN SEALED

I LIVE IN FEAR AND DOUBT
IN MISTRUST AND DISHONESTY
AND I AM AFRAID I'LL FAIL ONCE MORE
IF I SAY COME JESUS SET ME FREE

FOR I DON'T KNOW HOW TO KEEP A PROMISE
I LIE TO EVERYONE INCLUDING MYSELF
I  LIVE LIFE NOT AS A GIFT
BUT AS A BURDEN AND NOTHING ELSE

OH LORD COULD YOU REALLY HELP ME
COULD YOU TURN THIS FAILURE AROUND
WOULD I SOMEDAY BE LIKE THOSE OTHERS
WHO ARE WORTHY TO WEAR YOUR CROWN

CHILD, NOTHING YOU HAVE DONE
COULD KEEP SHAME ALIVE IN MY EYES
I SEE THE GOOD THAT LIVES IN YOU
AND IF ONLY FOR YOU I WOULD HAVE DIED

SO ASK ME YOUR JESUS
TO COME LIVE INSIDE YOUR HEART
FAITH I HOPE WILL BRING THE CHANGE
FOR THE SEEDS I PLANT WILL BE THEIR START

ALL AROUND ME JESUS
YOUR THE REALNESS MY EYES SEE TODAY
NOW THAT YOUR LIVING IN MY HEART LORD
NEVER AGAIN SHALL I LOSE MY WAY

Often when we see Jesus we ignore him because he is telling us something that we may not want to hear. While my spiritual beliefs really don't look towards any religion I was raised a catholic and I do see the importance of Jesus in our lives. he is that intangible light that guides us along the paths of life. Some people ignore his voice and lose themselves. We all make mistakes, we all sin but to know that we do and to attempt to live honestly and to give love then we are walking with Jesus.

a wonderful and beautiful poem.

"Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time".

Baltimore Grotto

"Libraries gave us power
Then work came and made us free
What price now for a shallow piece of dignity"
Nicky Wire, A design for Life.

manic street preachers
"Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany
Culture, alienation, boredom and despair"

"To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."

E.E Cummings.

Rose Mary, Brian has some good input here, and this is a lovely way to have others see how your words may affect them.  Thanks to you both!
