I am the created - Made from dust of earth I am the chosen - Elected before birth I am the temple - Housing the Divine I am the vessel - The decomposing shrine I have died, buried ‘neath the waters Only to be born again a new creation Dead to the world, freed from its curse But still afflicted by its disease I sense the presence of the ghost Change me inside - sanctify Reveal Your mysteries in whispering truths While breathing life into this corpse I am created - I am chosen I am temple - I am vessel Made from dust of earth - Elected before birth Housing the divine - The decomposing (shrine) A new creation guided by the ghost His Spirit possessed me I am His host

Awaken the warrior. O you who slumber. Prepare for battle. Slay the enemy. Take no prisoners. Have no mercy. They will not succeed. We shall overcome. This is war! We’re fighting demons the disembodied Nephlim, spiritual warfare in the realm of the unseen. Our sword and armor were forged in the heavenlies, bestowed upon us to bring our foes to their knees. Bathed in the blood of a human sacrifice Filled with the Spirit of our Master Messiah We’re kings and priests and warriors who will reign with Him supreme Until that time our battle cry is destroy the enemy Destroy the enemy and all their many clever lies Meant to lead us astray to make us compromise Destroy the enemy and all their carefully crafted schemes To make us ineffective to tear the body at the seams Destroy the enemy and all their wicked malefice Meant for our destruction to render us useless Destroy the enemy Destroy the enemy Destroy them

We all feel empty and need to fill the space. In the starving void where nothing satisfies. It’s the hollow in the center, the home of all desire Desolate and broken, longing for consummation. We need warmth. We need your fire. Void inside broken by desire. We need a spark to cause a flame, A need for You to ease our pain. So weak and desperate, we need You in our life. You’ll be the Groom and we’ll be Your Bride. …and when You come to take us home, we’ll sit at the right hand of Your throne. Come and set this world on fire! Burn it with Your blood-washed Bride. No longer empty. You filled the space. In the starving void and You satisfy. You solidify the center. Fulfilled all desire. Repaired what’s broken but still we long for consummation.
