You love me best....

This one I wrote praying for and thinking about my close friend and bother Matt. Truthfully, as it was being written I really started thinking about Jesus and how it sound allot like what i wanted to say to Him as well. I'm not sure if it comes out clear but this one i had all intentions of putting music too, the only hold back was i can't write music, oh well.

What can be said
to a faithful friend
who never withheld
His tender hand ( when i was falling down)

What song can i sing
of what you mean to me
when words are so fleeting
but my heart must express

You love me best

What can be said
to a gentle man
who so gracefully shows me
whats so gradually killing me

What can be written
of a mighty man
willing to siege a tower
behind a wall the bride lies behind

you love me best

What can i sing
What can I say
What can I write
What can I do

To the one who saved me on a cross
to the one who intercedes with tears and blood
to the one who walks with the lonely
to the one who waits for my love

You love me best

Third to many.........

Well, before i share some of the poems and songs that i have written i need to say just a few things:

-I am not in the habit of sharing any of these with very many people at all so i am finally taking a big step, and being a big boy now, sharing these. I truly hope that in some way they may be an encouragement to those who read them (its has always been my prayer anyways).
-Normally when i have written most of these there was a certain rhythm that i was writing with. So,Some may sound a bit off and may not follow proper reading rhythm.
-These have been written over many years so what i was going through then will be what comes out, it does not mean that is what i am going through or feeling now.
-With each oneI post (see Trev i used post instead of blog) I will try and leave a little reasoning why it was written, but don't expect to much.

With all that said, here's to my bleeding heart, bleeding all over your innocent minds.


This first one i am sharing is one i wrote thinking about my close friend and dear brother in the kingdom Todd. I was praying and searching for words to say that would speak to the purposes i shown and saw lying within in him.

In the willing one
In you my son
I've called my leader
out of the world

So
Stand tall
be bold
prepare
take hold

In your hand
a sword I've placed
In your sight
a wall to fall

Lead on
faithful follower
lead on
for Kingdom comes

Stand tall
be bold
prepare
take hold

The Kingdom comes
In my holy one
by my blood
the war was won

Humility and compassion
leadership in action
kindness and truth
a leader I've made you

Stand tall
be bold
prepare
take hold

My servant's heart
a serving heart
to love the low
become the least

My leader's humility
is glory to me
my son's humility
is glory to me

so
Stand tall
be bold
prepare
take hold

back to the feeling of home

Right now i'm sitting and staring out one of the large windows that adorn my favorite coffee house. I have been back not even 24 hrs but have found and seen some of the most amazing people that i have known. I miss this ecclectic group of brothers and sisters, they are the greatest wealth in my life. As i sit here i can not help to think of the cities of refuge that were established in the time of moses. this place is over following with the Spirit of God. In my drive in i could not help myself but bless the Lord for His mighty hand upon these people and this place. I could only see this for myself by being drawn from this land and returning after some time away. I am thankful for all the love, pain, trials, growth, and time that i had here. To Midland and Odessa may our Father keep you always as a place to run to for the encouragement and edification of all who are in need, bless you always.
With this said, i am excited to see what the Holy Spirit is doing and accomplishing in San Antonio. I have meet and am growing in community with very committed and seeking individuals. I see so much potential in those He has brought me too, they really are exceptional. I am not sure what will come of all that is happening but i know my role has changed in the grand design. I am no longer who i once was. those that know me here in west tx know a william that will no longer be, and those i have met in SA are getting to know a william that i don't even know myself, but i am excited to find out. Through all this may the one who is worthy be blessed and may we all do as we see Him do and say what we hear Him say.

As always, for the King and for His kingdom
