i'm on a roller coaster
that's called the "road to hell"
my grandparents died after i got on the ride
and a river i cried
while my parents waved me off
with intoxicated faces
i've hardly visited the tunnel of love
but for a brief dark moment
then i careen into a series of
twisting corkscrews
known as the great depression
of my adolescence
my heart did loop de loops
from all that i've suffered
pain beyond my ability to count
like the number of total bolts
in this damned roller coaster of my life
the car i'm in is lonely
and in many ways
as people are constantly jumping
onto the coaster
then they are most always
jumping off my track
as i go careening into space,
at the last second i meet a special friend
and the ride levels out for a straightaway
then down i speed to meet the tracks again
sometimes in between the many twists & loops
i climb the treacherous hill,
and i hear the clickety clack of the chains
as a-nother loved one dies,
once i reach the top
i plummet to the bottom
not having enough time to grieve
for those i've lost
being torn apart from
the high velocity centrifugal force
created by the many horizontal 360's
that my life calls fate
and then i go towards the exit station
but at the last second
i am rocketed in the other direction
as my life is again flipped upside down
and twisted all around so all things loose
go flying down to the ground
and then i met jesus
and the purpose less thrill ride finally found reason
a reason to live and a reason to love
a reason to give to someone i've never heard of
the coaster became exciting as the loops and turns
were were shown to be teachers in my life
teaching me in ways that most people can't comprehend
raising in me a man from the ashes of a burnt out life
as i gave up everything to my lord Jesus Christ
and i'm still on this ride but now
i'm not aloneno more need to moan
i got jesus by my side and
no incompleteness just the fullness of his love
enveloping my heart as again we rise above
the borders of flesh and logic
to a realm where backwards wins
where to live you have to die
where his blood has covered all sins
all we have to do is accept his sacrifice
for more info just email me or even call me or text me and may god bless you with himself for to have the best one must have jesus and nothing else.
dedicated to all who know how painful life is because jesus still does know the pain of life and death
with the scars still on/in/through his wrists.....
