Brian A. Poems And Lyrics
"From Satan’s Lies to God’s Truth"
I was hiding in shadows, afraid to admit
My loss of control when I took my first hit.
I lied to myself, I lied to my God,
I made an excuse, and Satan did nod.
He said I’d find comfort in my drug of choice.
He deafened my ears to God’s mighty voice.
He led me astray for many a day,
Laughing and knowing the price I would pay.
He tricked me to think I was cool, I’d fit in.
He tempted me more with tonic and gin.
The days turned to months, the months into years,
Still coating my brain with reefer and beers.
The buzzes got longer, as I slowly died.
He said, “Try cocaine, you’ll feel good inside.”
He’d been running my life and I didn’t see
What his lies had been doing to me.
When I hit rock bottom, I felt so alone.
Then the Lord called to me, and said,
“Come on home.”
His arms were wide open, His love I could feel.
The darkness subsided. I knew I would heal.
I now live for God, and see all His Grace.
I thank Him each day I’ve come to this place.
He’s opened my eyes, and this is a fact.
I DO have a choice. I’ll keep coming back!

"His Name Is Jesus"
He sees us in a light of love
For all eternity
He wraps his mighty arms around
Even you and me.
He’s been there forever
I was too blind to see
But now I’m in His light of love
And I’m thankful to Be
(GO TO CHORUS)
It may seem very awesome
wherever you are
How the love of God forgives mankind,
Near and Far
Our saving grace upon the Cross
Died for our sins
Now I’ve given all my life
The healing begins
(GO TO CHORUS)
The roads I have traveled
Were not walked in vain
The lessons I’ve learned
Have helped ease the pain
My teacher is a loving God
By his Grace I live
Confess your heart to the Lord
And your sins, He will forgive
(GO TO CHORUS)
CHORUS
His name is Jesus, Savior of the world
His name is Jesus, Praise be to the Lord
His name is Jesus, Forgiver of sins
I bow before you now, Lord
I’ve given in
It is not for me to judge
another person’s actions
I am only supposed to love
Each and every one
It doesn’t matter where they’ve been
Or how they’ve gotten here
The love that I show them
Must be sincere
(GO TO CHORUS)
We’ve gotten to this place
Each and every one
On bended knee we give the Grace
To the Holy One
King of Kings, He’ll always be
When you let him in
He’ll heal your heart and teach you how
To free yourself from sin
(GO TO CHORUS)
It may not seem so easy
Knowing where you’ve been
Christ is our salvation
Give your life to Him.
(END WITH CHORUS)

"Let Go, Let God"
(CHORUS)
Show the Love of Christ
In your life today
Open your heart and let it shine
And follow in His way.
Share the love He’s given you
To everyone you meet
Show them how the love of Christ
Has made your life complete
If you’ve tried it on your own
But never found your way
Let go, Let God.
If you’ve had a stubborn heart
There is a place to start
Let go, Let God.
I’ve been down a path
You may be on
And felt the pain you feel
But the treasure from His saving Grace
Has to power to heal
Let go, Let God
Let go, Let God
If you’ve suffered in the past
The pain won’t have to last
Let go, Let God.
Seek his face each day
Get on your knees and pray
And open up your heart
To the Father
How Great Thou Art
