My writings came from my Road to Damascus, whereas the Lord opened my eyes and delivered me from myself and the enemy, and inspired me to share. The word he freely blessed me with, to all who wish to receive it, the Collaboration is from the word of god and from everyday people and conversations from those who are hurting and are in need of a word Of which I call planting a seed, for the bible says "One planteth, one watereth, but god give the increase remember if one member suffers, All suffers, when one member rejoice, all rejoice". --- Willie G.

Chapter One

The Road to Damascus


On a lonely road, leading to self destruction
I was dying daily, being filled with corruption
Having no regards, as I faced each day
Surely death and misery, was in my way.

The roads were wide, and they were many
I started seeking help, but couldn't find any
In bondage I was, from head to toe
Just falling in strongholds, every where I'd go.

The path I chose, was not on the wise
I found myself following, Satan and his lies
In a driven rage, I came out fighting
Expressing myself daily, in poetic writings.

My life was in turmoil, they belittle my name
My dream was destroyed, I was in such pain
I was battling within, and I was battling without
Being tossed to and fro, and all about.

Being weary and tired, I found a Rock
I laid down to rest, still somewhat shocked
And it was there, I began to dream
And I had visions, I had never seen.

Then mercy and grace, took a stand
Stating I AM HE, the SON of Man
HE said I know, what you've been through
It's sin you're carrying, that's killing you.

Now as you see, it's bigger than you
That's why I came, to deliver and rescue
To set captives free, and provide a way
For them to escape, before come judgment day.

Even the lowest point, you had to face
I was already there, offering mercy and grace
And when you thought, you were all alone
I was that strength, that moved you on.

In all your hurt, in all your despair
When the pain seem endless, I was there
The footprints behind you, deep in the sand
Those prints I made, when I carried you man.

When the grave waited, for you my friend
I personally went down, for all your sins
When hells door waited, Satan laughed at you
But I took the keys, so you won't go through.

When you were discouraged, and totally lost
I was the bridge, of which you crossed
I hold the foundation, on which you stand
Is anything too hard, for the Son of Man?

When the world failed you, of which you depend
It was me who came, and took you In
So rise up young man, and look around
You're out of the pit, and on Holy ground.

Regardless to whatever, you've done in the past
The kingdom of GOD, is here at last
Take what you've seen, and what you've heard
And tell the world, all about the WORD.

So as the son, rise up each day
I thank the LORD, every time I pray
For through his mercy, and by his grace
I was delivered from, the destruction I faced.

There are no tragedies, for those in CHRIST
Only promises and assurance, of eternal life
And of a truth, these words I say
HE lifted me up, and showed me the way.


'PRAISE THE LORD'

But what saith it? The word is near thee
Even in thy mouth, and in thy heart :that
Is the word of faith, which we preach.
Romans 10:8

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth
The lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine
Heart that God hasth raised him from the dead
Thou shalt be saved
Romans10:9

Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto
My cry; hold not thy peace at my tears
For I am a stranger with thee, and a
Sojourner, as all my fathers were. O spar
Me, that I may recover strength, before I
Go hence, and be no more.

Psalm 39:12,13

He brought me up also out of an horrible
Pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet
Upon a rock, and established my goings, and
He put a new song in my mouth, even praise
Unto our God: many shall see it, and fear,
And shall trust in the lord,
Psalm 40:2,3


Silent Prayer (A Prayer To Thee)

This is my prayer, my prayer to ThEE
Though silent and still, Father, receive my plea
This petition for mercy, I make with haste
Though written in silence, receive openly in grace.

For the enemy comes, to rob, steal, and kill
I'm accepting nothing less, than your perfect will
Even through the valley, of shadow and death
Thy light still shines, restoring life and health.

Being the mighty Counselor, and the perfect healer
Your WORD alone, makes the perfect sealer
Within and without, by faith I stand
And set my hope, in GOD, not man.
