I wanna trust truth

I've trusted just about everything else...
Honey drips from lying lips
It was sweet to my ears
but rotted my bones
as salty rainstorms pounded my cheeks.

I trusted your touch.
The kiss and caress
I undressed
not knowing
whispering moans
tell the loudest lies.

I trusted what felt nice
knowing it wasn't right
cruisin' down the wrong road
as my soul corrodes

Piecing together the remnants
of innocence mostly lost,
I swear I'll never trust again.
Barricaded my soul in a fortress
Taking an occasional furlough for my pleasure
Never mind your pain
so long as I ward off my own heartbreak

A disillusioned heart
doesn't mind making love to cynicism
As resentment I embrace
Piety convinced me
distrust of every man is only wisdom
I've got God; who needs His creation.
Now reality convicts me
It's impossible to trust God
while doubting the move of His hand.

The Book

I just have to take a moment to praise the Lord. The psalmist reminds us that before we were ever born every day of our lives was already written in His book. Every day includes our good days as well as our bad days. It includes the days that we are faithful and everything goes just right and those days when we royally screw up. It was still written in God's book. The awesome thing is that He read the book before He decided to bless us. He went over the book before he called us and ordained us. He knew our failures and still decided to allow us to carry his Holy Spirit. Even in our short comings, every day of our lives was written in the book. And He is still working it out for our good. He stills perfects that which concerns us. If we got a chance to skip to the end of the book, the outcome is that we are VICTORIOUS!!! In all these things we are more the conquerers through Him who loved us.
