love is an offering

could you run that by me one more time? i don't need your dollars to change my mind get it? your love is my currency and not because i'm loving you currently but because you returned the same courtesy one plus one becomes two... then one it's the math of the souls in love and then some transcends the games of lose and win some transfers my shame it's love's redemption nude but not naked i love the tension you sing and speak in love's soliloquy since the moment God took the rib from me i'm close to your heart, you live with me from infamy to intimacy i keep your love deep within me

25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. 27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage!

(Matthew 14:25-29) Have you ever wondered why Jesus didn't tell Peter to stay in the boat and row out to him? I mean, that way, they all could have gotten a closer look at Jesus.

My life is a collection plate I’m passed down from person to person I’m added to and taken from I’m constant and yet ever changing My value, my worth? Depends on the investment Depends on the generosity of the giver But my God is a giver of lavish gifts I’m giving to so that I may give to you I’m sacrificed so that I may share I am imparted so that I may supply Love, life, compassion, strength My life lives on My soul is a tithe My spirit, an offering A love offering

in the darkness they fall the silent salt water drops of his soul they fall because he failed he tills a barren ground they fall because the promised land is dead he moved his family to a foreign land at night he can hear their stomachs growl their morning smiles break him down they fall because he promised his love the heavens but could only deliver the earth the more he gives the more he knows it's not enough so they fall in his morning coffee cup he prays the Lord will save them from the falling sky Mount Sinai is leveled to the ground his eyes are flooded with sorrow as he waits for the drought to end

the essence of the mountain; i'm standing on it, our ecstasy, it captures love's atonement love...,can't buy...sell it or loan it purpose in this life, you know you want it, love's like blood, it's death's opponent it flows through your veins and arteries, don't it? but when you're cut, it burns like alcohol on it all the bads and the blames it's time we own it, prayers without words, sighs and groanings your spirit torn open, my soul is mourning but love's in the midst of the painful moments making love, is more than moves and moaning it's the spirit interlocking of man and woman the soul's always searching and constantly roaming but true love is only made when souls are growing.
