There's Light in the Darkness
There's a light in the darkness
Like stars in the night sky
And somehow this little light
Pushes all the darkness aside
We appreciate the beauty
Of those tiny spots of light
When surrounded by the darkness
Of still sky of night
It is the stillness of the slumber
Serenity in the sky
Resting in the calm of light
And the darkness it defies
I'm cleaned,
Freed of the sin;
The darkness and filth,
That covered my skin.
I followed your will
And I found the way.
I searched for you
In my lost days.
Pure as snow,
You have turned black white.
You have freed me now:
Changed wrong to right
Naked I stand at your doorstep,
Vulnerable, yet free.
I stand before you,
Wearing none but humility.
I am but a sinner,
A sinner with your grace,
Freed from the sin
Of this dark, ugly place.
You have taken me from this world;
You have made me something new,
A woman living in this world,
But belonging to you.
I am freed of the sorrow,
The sadness and hate;
The pain of the lone
Beauty born you are.
Made of love so true.
Pure in nature,
White is you.
Born in darkness,
Knowing only sin,
Dark in nature,
Black upon my skin.
We,
Sewed with unique threads,
Had the same path
Set for us to tread.
We traveled far
Before we found our place;
Meeting once,
In a chance embrace.
Where reality meets majesty
You stood tall;
I stumbled in
Unbelievably small.
Each now
Dressed in a shade of grey,
Having finally
Found our way.
Beginning each
From different places,
With unique thoughts,
But Hopeful faces,
We met both as black,
Both as white,
Coming together,
To, at once, unite.
Communicate!
Say it all!
Speak your mind,
Then take the fall.
Speak His word
Share His story
Show His love
Give Him glory
Communicate,
With actions and words!
Don't let His love
Go Unheard.
Don't be afraid
Of what haters will do.
Just give the Lord glory
For He died for you
Communicate!
Let the Lord use your voice!
Let them hear the word!
Let them have the choice!
Speak His word!
Share His story!
Show His love!
Give Him glory!
This time last year
I wasn't sitting here
This time last year
Things were different
This time last year
I was a different person
This time last year
Things were different
This time last year
I was sure of things
This time last year
But not now I fear
This time last year
There was planning
This time last year
But now just an understanding
This time last year
I was niave
This time last year
But not now I fear
This time last year
It all felt right
This time last year
It still didn't make sense
No more sitting on the fence
This year
Things are different
Different places
Different times
This year
Things are different
Young minds
Eager to hear the words we say
Silent with their lips
Still they teach us the way
Young minds without worry
Without concern or woe
Young minds that will follow
Wherever we go
Young hearts so pure
So filled with love
As Faithful and forgiving
As the Father above
Young minds so certain
Of all they've been taught
Following without question
Without second thought
And what if young minds,
Became ours as we grew old?
Would our hearts be more trusting?
Would our love be more bold?
To be faithful and Forgiving
Our hearts filled with love
To be like the young
And simply trust our Father above
I scream to you Jesus
I say
"Save me now"
You smile
Ready to respond
And I add
"This is how"
But Jesus
O' my Lord
Your way is just your own
You hear my cries
And you say
"Child,
I do not work alone"
You send your angels
Down to me
Dressed as sinful men
With horns on their heads
But wisdom in their hearts
Your angels you send
My blind eyes
Choose not
To see the light
Against your words
Your wisdom
Your angels
I fight
"He is but a man"
I use my vision
To justify
But my heart
Knows the answer
That my eyes deny
You have sent
Your angels down
Down to save me
I see them now, Jesus
O' Jesus, I see
I can not
When you have hope
Hope
What else do you need?
It's all you have left
When all else leaves
When the sun ducks
Behind the clouds
When rain falls
And the thunder screams loud
When the wind whistles
And fear is beckoning you
When all else is lost
Hope is what you do
When you have hope
Hope
That's all you need need
It's all you have left
When all else leaves
When your candle burns down
When it flickers and dies
When you feel so alone
Tears build up in your eyes
All you need is hope
It's the sunshine in the darkness
A fire on a cold, cold night
It's the love of a close friend
As they hold you nice and tight
When you have
Touch the texture of my skin
Etched in memories of where I've been
Where my heart once leapt
And pain once danced and slept
Scars I would not dare trade
A dipolma for every passing grade
The art time has placed
Graffitti on the skin defaced
A canvas too heavy for the wall
Seven steps from the fall
Littered with the colours of life
Framed in a shell to keep it nice
One minute we were falling
For each other, hand in hand:
The next we were at the gallows
About to leave this land
Hanging separately
For the same unholy sin
We're dying, my love
Before we had the chance to begin
They ask me for last words
But how could I speak?
Empty I am feeling now
Your love has made me weak
All eyes are watching now
Watching you and I
Cheering and mocking
Waiting for us to die
We look at each other one last time
Before they secure the hood of black
Before they put the noose around our necks
And check the rope for slack
It's the last moment
We need a miracle to keep our life
We need our savior
To cut
I run my fingers
Along your veins
I trace the map to your heart
A million paths
All headed to the same place
I place my head upon your cheast
I fall victim to your rhythm
It pumps like into to you
And into me
Your chest rises as you breathe
In and out
My body rises and falls
As you breathe your life into me
Your air mingles
Mixing with mine
As we, in our separate bodies,
Become one, entwined
If I had the answer
To the question we all ask
I'd smile silently
For I knew at last
Then I would whisper
The answer in your ear
I'd say, "Sweet angel,
Here's the words to dry your tear"
I'd put an arm around your shoulder
I'd say, "Friend, I have a secret to share"
Then I'd pull you tighter
And gently part your hair
Then I'd tell you
The answer you've been waiting for
I'd say, "O dear friend,
You mustn't wait anymore"
I'd watch you smile
As I spoke each word
As my lips moved
And my voice was heard
Then I'd curl up tightly
So close to you
I'd smile happily
Because then we could fight on through
The moon peeks out
From behind the clouds
Silently, passionately, admiring you
The crickets chirp-
Chirp a sweet melody
A song for you to dance to
To move gracefully
The stars twinkle happily
Watching, admiring the serenity
The wind whispers
Calling your name
Waiting, comtemplating
The dark kisses you passionately
A moment of pure bliss
The fog wraps itself around you
A tender, gentle hug
This is the night of love
Black
Pure
I'm sure
Darkness
Only
A lonely man
Understands
Darkness
For
In a mind
So unkind, is
Darkness
In the darkness
Pain is found
Would turned upside down, by
Darkness
But
Light
The only break from night, kills
Darkness
Well, I've been back to Canada and now I'm living Maui. I've been here for just over 2 months now. I've been going through a very difficult time, filled with different types of hardship. I'm at this strange inbetween stage right now, trying to figure out what country I'll be in and what I'll be doing in one months' time.
All in all, I'm doing very well here. Things are very hard, but I'm learning so much and my character is really being formed. I've not written much lately and I haven't taken any pictures at all, but I hope to change both shortly.
If you're interested in my journey, feel free to check out my blog. http://kimmcinerney.blogsp
Hey friends! I'm back from Indonesia. I spent the last 3 months travelling around and sharing the gospel in remote villages. I spent most of my time in untouched villages in the jungles of West Borneo. Many of the places we went they had never seen white people before.
Shortly, I will post pictures of my time there and my time here in Maui as well. I have had an amazing time both places and I'm excited to share.
Right now, I'm resting in Maui, Hawaii before heading back to snow in Canada. Yuck!
Look for more stuff from me soon.
Hey friends. It's been a long time since I've written anything here. I just thought I'd drop a note and let everyone know what I'm up to.
I'm chilling out in Maui, Hawaii right now. I'm a Christian missionary. I will be headed off to Borneo, which is in Indonesia, in a months time. I will spend three months sharing the gospel and discipling Christians there.
My life after that is up in the air. I'm headed back to Canada temporarily, and then God only knows from there.
I fully intend to get back into writing, now that life is such an adventure. I would love to make an attempt to put it to verse and perhaps even music.
That's about it from
