A Collection of Poetry and Writing A sticky summer night Playful, bantering by lamp light Laughing, smiles, Curled on a blanket Words flow like rushing streams, hours pass, becoming a mere trickle It feels, nice, safe, comfortable the curves of your arms, softness in your eyes, I lose myself looking in closer, closer… I can feel your breath My heart races Pounding so hard I’m sure you can hear. My mind keeps thinking to brush my lips against yours What you’d say.. are you thinking the same? whispering Detached words mumblings in the dark Music Lyrics Power of Two Now the parking lots is empty Everyone’s gone someplace I pick you up and in the trunk I’ve packed A cooler and a two day suitcase Cause there’s a place we like to drive Way out in the country Five miles out of the city and then we’re singing And your hand’s upon my leg
So we’re ok, we’re fine, Baby I’m here to stop you’re crying Chase all the ghosts from your head I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed Smarter than the tricks played on your heart Look at them together than we’ll take them apart Adding up the total of a love that’s true Multiply life by the power of two Now the things that I am afraid of I'm not afraid to tell If we ever leave a legacy It's that we loved each other well See the shadows of so many people Trying out the treasures of youth They are fancy and fast and a fatal crash And I'm glad we got off to tell you the truth All the shiny little trinkets of temptation Something new instead of something old All you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface and all it is, is fools gold Now we're talking about a difficult thing Eyes are getting red I took us for better and I took us for worse Don't you ever forget The steel bars between me and a promise, Suddenly bent with ease Closer I am bound to love to you The closer I am to being free I would sooner grow old all alone, Than to have another lover.

Projects Compassion Concert / Mercy Project(addressing poverty in our society) Nothing describes the passions of our hearts the way that
music does. Anyone who loves the
art will declare that the creation of sound that can communicate feelings that
have no words to describe it. So much of our lives are about music, especially
those that are avid worship leaders in the church, but most meaningful song is
this secret song that the Lord has sung over me. And now to be called to a voice
for the voiceless. The Compassion Concert and Mercy Project grew from an
unquenchable desire to run after God in ways that I am unfamiliar with but, love
Him in all the ways that I know how. And
right now he’s calling me to love Him by loving his sheep, most specifically
the ones that are lost, broken, The sheep that Jesus had the greatest compassion
for. The poor. How can we worship without having the sense of
dissatisfaction for the injustice and the overwhelming need that we see even in
our city. It is time for just one
moment to stop living our lives of excess, to build awareness and compassion and
awaken our heart to the cries. Not
to feel a sense of overwhelming, or a sense of helplessness, but to stir a
spirit of hope and dreams of heaven on earth. How much would you spend on a movie, with the prices these
days, up to 13 dollars or so, and sometimes, the movie is so terrible, you
wonder where you have spent your money and more importantly your time.
Take a night to come and worship, come and be encouraged and be
challenged. Bring your $13 but know
that you’ll be coming away with much more.
All the money will go to the poor, and your time will spent growing
compassion and hope. Get away from
the world of self-centeredness and enter a place where we stop thinking of our
selves and our needs and we think of someone else and their needs.
Because every person is important, even if they have a wounded heart, and
a beaten body and live on the streets.
God has taken the weak to shame the strong. Lets make real the passage of the fellowship of the
believers that so many of us are inspired by.
Lets live it “giving to anyone as they have need” “Worshippers look outward, noticing the world they live in and longing to make a difference to the injustice, poverty and pain that surround them. The heart of an unsatisfied worshipper says “it wasn’t meant to be this way” We become intercessors, people who see the gap and long to stand in it. God imparts to us His heart of restoration and a burning desire to see His love and justice heal the nations. But our desire must turn into action. Isaiah 58:7,10. Share our food with the hungry, clothe the naked, satisfy the needs of the oppressed. God longs to bring us to a place where we ache so much with His heart that to do nothing is simply no longer an option. “ -notes from unquenchable worshipper CCF Teases (by Albert Wu) Passion: what are you willing to suffer for STARLIGHT
