This is a honest narrative, actions being passive, sin that crept in life, lack of spiritual acts of obedience,
living to cater to my convenience seems as if I’m lost and I’ve given up to these demons,
screaming for something needed, pleading to be redeemed, believing that He has cleaned, sin that is unseen,
team of brothers and sisters who don’t realize I missed it, cuz' I hide with the pride that’s deep down inside
and I lie so I can try to be seen as another guy so I cry Lord on high as I die to be reconciled,
wild and going through trials, some trials for a while, even years, cant see clear, think they’ve disappeared,
reappear and more clear, consistently in disappear, dare to believe I’m there, thinking I’ll never make it,
loosing sight of the purpose and the reason I’m created, to worship the one who made it, suffered just for a season,
reason that I’m believing receiving the grace of Jesus, who rose from the grave and beat it so I won’t keep it a secret,
my sin and the grace of Jesus can encourage believers press foreword in that faith, don’t let it defeat you,
not based on your works, things that you have done, man is free to fail cuz’ at the cross Jesus won,
redemption of a sum of lost souls that run, but God is in control and the battle already won,
divine meditations sublime revelation, through the incarnation defeated sin and Satan,
amazing how He saves a man, works within to change a man redemption planned before the foundation of all the earth began,
the spotless lamb, planned to die before He walked the land, rose again after the cross and completed the plan, so we won’t face condemnation, live a life of frustration but patiently waiting, waiting on the day of consummation,
when He comes back to take back what He created and recreate it and shape it for His glory so we praise Him, amazing grace is saving initiating salvation through the proclamation of the only message of redemption,
more then moral lessons or ways to live in perfection but your minds transformation, hearts regeneration,
so we praise Him, Lord of all generations for saving, all He calls to salvation! - Track Name: Forgive Me

Verse 1
He is risen, so we partake in the life thats given
New Beginning, regenerated heart with clear vision
Clear distinction, from un-regenerated way of living now i'm switching my attention to the King and His Kingdom
New wisdom, with age like fine wine thats dripping a new page in life that through time i'm living, the amazing grace that God man has given, still amazes state of mind that i'm within so, i'm striving to take hold and unfold, hidden treasures of Christ, more precious than gold foretold stories of old incarnate King, Word became flesh His song I sing, Kadosh Kadosh! is the Lord God almighty, the Lord of hosts forever remains highly and exulted, ultimate perfection and immaculate, assaulted, yet rose through resurrection as our advocate.
Verse 2
The pain, I face due to sin and disgrace
The rain, penetrates and convicts my state
I'm lame, because I ate from a forbidden place
can't change, fear i'll never see His face, falling short daily so i'm feeling condemned, try to cover my sin and I try to pretend like I don't struggle, find myself trapped inside of a bubble, look within myself, but only find trouble, God I love you but can't seem to stop, you got me in your hand at any second can drop but you don't, steadily leaving my soul with hope so I wont, continue to tug and pull on the rope, to choke, commit, spiritual suicide, because the battle that i'm fighting deep down inside, can only be won, through the only begotten Son who planned my salvation before life begun.
Verse 3
So I won! more than a conquerer in Jesus, living in the grace of the Son of God who frees us, late night contemplating, meditating on God about my sin mans fall and the cross, redemption, reconciliation and His grace, the great exchange and how the Son stood in my place, the immaculate, matchless, untampered, grafted then drafted this savage, critical, unbiblical, hypocritical, liar, self righteous, super cynical but i've been foreseen, redeemed and made clean, so now I switch schemes believe and switch teams, to seeking one King one God and one thing, His glory alone, revealed yet unseen, through the life death and resurrection of Christ, all who believe receive eternal life. - Track Name: Freewrite
-
Verse 1
Father I’m cold so take control of my soul, because the pride that’s inside is contrary to life,
I’m dying to know what Christ did for my soul, please revive and reside inside this vessel void of life,
to know Christ supreme heart conquerer absolute, without you to bear fruit, the axe is at the root,
allow me to turn away by your grace I can make a change but even your grace is a gift, treasure that’s so amazing,
fire blazing you rearrange the soul that you are saving so I am waiting to exchange the sinful role I was playing,
to play the role of a servent whose with purpose whose fervent within your worship not yet perfect believing this walk is worth it,
redirect my disposition within divine intermission, intercept my false wisdom with sublime revelation, intercept with your election, direct me on a mission,
on a heavenward direction to fulfill the great commission
Verse 2
A message to all saints, God got you, you locked in, a spot where you won't rot, not saying you'll not sin,
He rocked sin for all men to make a option, cops them and calls them, made it possible,
came a operative through the incarnation and bought his kids, now we anonymous relaying this message with confidence,
God we trust in His perseverance found in His promises, the Holy script inspired by God wrote by His prophets, therefore unashamed of the Gospel message,
continue to apply it even though we've been elected, Gospel is more then a one time application, constantly working in us until He takes us,
even after we're glorified cuz' He saved, worship eternal thankful cuz' He saved us, and praise His, because thats the reason that He made us,
Soli Deo Gloria glory to God alone! - Track Name: By the Spirit ft. Will Passion
-
Placed in a positon and faced with a decision to press hard in the faith and place what He has given
On the fore front and believe that He is risen, fight sin not that sins fight is what He's given but grace He has given,
to place me in position in salvation leading me to the cross to reposition, renew my mind and my heart, so I can take whats given,
ignite the spark on my part, so I can use His wisdom, void of distractions though my acts aren't accurate, and I fall short, I serve a God who is matchless,
Whose majesty and perfection blankets my actions, so my path ain't dark and my feet step accurate,
kill sin or sin be killing you, light verse darkness which side will loose,
we bringing veritas of the God who died on the cruz, Will Passion yours truly proclaiming God who is truth
Hook x2
If you live by the flesh
then your destined to die
but if you live by the spirit
then your blessed and alive
set your mind on Christ
and the sprit of God
and fight the deeds of the flesh
and never rest till it dies
Verse 2 (Will Passion)
Look… It’s so easy just to fall to the side when a breeze come to bum rush from behind.
You aint see it ‘cause there’s stuff that your eyes would really want but you’re love with a lie. You feel stuck hoping that something would rise within!
You fell in sin and now you try to repent but (you’re) feeling distant from the God who forgives,
and now as hard it is… it’s much harder to switch, while feeling horrible since, and talk God giving honor with lips. A Hypocrite, feeling awful and sick, like you aren’t legit… And begging the Him to give you honest regrets!
But it’s like… honestly, I relate… when honesty has escaped and (I’m) being fake on my knees as I pray. Romans 8:13 would attest that if you live like the rest, you’re prone to sin and only leads you to death.
But instead, live by the spirit and press to kill the deeds of the flesh and be in peace with the King who is blessed! One.
Hook x2
If you live by the flesh
then your destined to die
but if you live by the spirit
then your blessed and alive
set your mind on Christ
and the sprit of God
and fight the deeds of the flesh
and never rest till it dies
Verse 3
He's the same, yesterday today and forever, the whole armor of God is how we weather the storm
Its a shame when were faced with opposition it sever's, and our inclination is to run from the call and fall
back into what He pulled us out of, its obvious our strength isn't found in ourselves,
So lean not on your own understanding, place your hope in God, and not be led by one you felt,
but be led by Christ who held and holds the position of king, and is forever seated upon the throne,
and holds your soul along with omniscience and holds so control over the globe, so know, who you are and where you stand in Christ Jesus,
play your position and serve the king who redeemed us, don't sway due to your surroundings when the breeze comes,
find your satisfaction in Elohim the three in one.
Hook x2 - Track Name: On My Heart
-
We live and we die but deep in your mind your eager to find the answer to life the reason we die,
but seek and you'll find the reason we die why we inclined and why we try to fill the void inside with hatred, lust and the pride of the life we live,
seeking temporary fulfillment that the world gives, seek the eternal freedom that the word of God gives, he's only given it to give freedom to those He gave the gift,
eternal salvation, true completeness, because only in Christ we find true completeness,
not in any temporary feeling that passes away, away with these things they mean nothing, please believe this. Not cuz' what I got to say, desires only here today,
gone tomorrow feel the sorrow next fulfillment for the day, viscous cycle, read the bible hear what the Lord has to say,
i'll tell you the truth He'll fulfill you for an eternal day never to end true answer found, but it starts at repentance deny yourself bow down, to the Lord God of all ultimate ruler, truer then any god not mohammed not buddah but,
the eternal word second person in the trinity, manifested and stepped down from infinity, perfect harmony eternally in a symphony,
holy holy holy seraphim sing obscure to me, why the son would leave a fellowship set so perfectly, heard the Gospel how He was crushed for my iniquity,
for God so loved the world He gave His son for me? literally, made flesh, walked the earth to be, hung on a tree bore sin, took the wrath of the, holy father the first person in the trinity,
chose me said walk this way, like RUN DMC so I repented ran away, like a athlete, set the path for me so i'l reach the finish line gradually,
persevering while He's moving inside of masterfully, moving naturally, being sanctified by Him gradually, no apology cuz' my God should be acknowledged, it's not about theology or the credits you got in college,
but a relationship that begins with fear, knowledge of the holy majestic, solely perfected, boldly directed my soul to repentance, now go! present Him to those who neglected the soul of the blessed. - Track Name: Heavenly Meditations ft. Jordan Guzman
-
The earth is full of God’s glory
Its hard to look around and not hear of his story
No mind can fathom , no ear can grasp ‘em
None else will do – only Jesus I ask for
So I’ll exalt the Lord my God
I’ll worship at his footstool
Holy is he!
Bless the Lord, oh my soul, he who forgives all your iniquity
He who heals all your diseases
-redeemed, is redeeming, and will redeem your life from the pit
He who satisfies you with good things – and does not deal with you according to your sins
But views you according to Christ righteousness
Far better for me is contra conditional love – The Father loving just as Christ is
This aroma of love I inhale- it indwells in my lowly body
How is it possible that a pest, a wretch, a wayward wreck like me can trust so freely – love so deeply – sleep for safely – in the hand of whose majesty no words can capture –
Who stirs the hearts of men to be lured through his word – who when speaks his voice thunders
And oh , the depth of my wickedness
Waiting for others to sin so I can complain, nag, vent, and whine
But oh, the depth of his love for us
Waiting for me to see I am just like those who in fault find
And oh, the depth of my wickedness
Conspiring evil , pursuing idols, laying up confidence n worldly affirmation
But oh, the depth of his love for us
Teaching my heart to dwell solely on heavenly meditations
Alas – reconciliation! Between the Great Divide – found in no other name but Jesus Christ
Who shall save me from this wretched body?
Only he who appeased the wrath of the Father
Therefore, sweet heart of mine
In your Savior wholly confide
To hold, comfort, and restore your strength
For only in him you’ll find ever-flowing grace
When tears become you food day and night
Be strong in the Lord and the strength of His might
Forget not all his benefits, oh my soul
Though the demands of this life may take their toll
Let your heart be encouraged with a kind word
For in it the Almighty whispers your worth
For distress such as mine no cliché will do
Only the deep love of Jesus proves itself true
Oh, God, though my doubt just keep me near
Trusting that truth has nothing to fear
Jesus – the Way, the Truth, and the Life
Gentle as I place my hand in his side
My Lord and my God, my earnest prayer: just help me believe
That truly Jesus plus nothing equals everything - Track Name: Satisfied
-
Satisfied cuz my soul is justified, by the one who hung on the cross and died
But he raised up now so im alive (cuz He’s alive) i'm alive my soul is satisfied!
Verse 1
Sins seduction then leads to destruction
Its not enough so take head to instrustion
This obstruction causes reproduction
Of a disease that leads to deconstruction
The satisfaction for a fragment detaches
And makes you numb and cold to his reaction
A chain reaction causes aparent relapses
And takes you from the hold of his attraction
It feels good in the moment of the action
But when its done like everything else it passes
Misunderstood, looking for satisfaction
But only one can truly fulfil your passions
Fulfil your soul in places that you are lacking
And fill the whole inside thats everlasting
The yearning for the one whose love is matchless
And takes away your hunger with satisfaction
Chorus x2
Satisfied cuz my soul is justified, by the one who hung on the cross and died
But he raised up now so im alive (cuz He’s alive) i'm alive my soul is satisfied!
Verse 2
So here I am, back at square one
Faced with my sin about to shoot the fair one
Mindsate is grim, feel like battles never done
Struggle with sin, feel like im the only one
Palms are sweaty, cheast heavy im loosing focus
Feel like im chocking and loosing sight of where my hope is
Im overdosing, attracted by a scent that’s potent
Just one more time to satisfy the sin inside
It feels so good and comforting even though its lies
So I try to justify my sin and pride
Cuz’ ive been here before and I’ve taken the ride
I know the destruction it causes and its suicide
Cuz Ive been blind each time believed a lie
Lived in a cycle that never seems to satisfy
So this time I’ll cling to the hope of Addoni
That when im weak He’s stronger a lot stronger than I
The promises of Jesus made in all of the Gospels
Word of God, spoken throughout all the Apostles
The proclimation of the Holy Scriptures see them clear
That our present suffereing aint nothing to be compared
Chorus x2
Satisfied cuz my soul is justified, by the one who hung on the cross and died
But he raised up now so im alive (cuz He’s alive) i'm alive my soul is satisfied! - Track Name: By His Grace
-
Verse 1
So you wake up, get into prayer, dig in the Word, then you take up your cross to bare do what you heard,
preach the Gospel to someone you meet on your way to work, mind stays on track and most of your thoughts are pure, carry healthy conversations with godly implications feeling good about the way you look not feeling insecure,
meditating on the Word all throughout the day, and before you go to bed, you dont forget to pray
DAY 2
miss your alarm gonna be late to work, not enough time to pray so you didn't read the Word, frustration so your not initiating healthy conversation, all the while your waiting aggravated by your days progression,
misunderstood, because your attitude isn't good, on top of that you don't look as good as you think you should,
your mind is on sin and things that lead you astray and at night you dont pray
WHAT A TERRIBLE DAY
two days very different but very similar in part, clear distinction from the way each day, ended and start,
but if Jesus is your heart, and captain of your salvation, no matter what you do and the fashion in which your day ends, the father sees you righteous due to His justification .
Verse 2
So in essence JESUS PLUS NOTHING EQUALS EVERYTHING, you can't add or take away from the gift that He brings,
no action or anything, can separate you from the king, cuz' now your will has been redeemed to bring Him glory through all things,
Jesus, by Him to Him and through Him, things were created, high up over the universe He infiltrated, died and rose on the third, to bring salvation,
the lies you've been told and you heard, can devastate men, you don't work throughout the day to earn your salvation,
His grace is sufficient through all trials and tribulation, the work at the cross is complete so we embrace Him, and the work that He achieved, through propitiation,
the only power of God that is able to save men, but not only regenerates is able to sustain them. - Track Name: Justified
-
As I meditate on the king of kings, i'm reminded He is sovereign over everything,
no compromise as I die to my emphasis no glory taken but to Him I give everything,
cuz' at the cross His work was complete, the substitution changing sinless to the sinners chief,
the resolution of the calamity causes grief, a fall that led to so much sin, I don't even have time to speak,
at the cross Jesus leaked so we can seek the one whose meek, conquered under His feet, death so we can meet and seek the one who greets, sinners whose sin through Him,
have all been made absolutely obsolete,
the wrath of God was poured therefore the curtain was tore, now He settled the score, our hearts can be made truly pure by the only victor, now we can dwell with the father in heaven forever more,
as I meditate on Him, and think of the joy salvation brings, back to the cross where they slain my king,
that for the lost as a substitution, His wrath poured out was the resolution
to bridge the gap back, kill confusion, He suffered in my place, paid retribution, for the sin i committed suffered persecution,
a price that would've taken an eternity to pay, the word became flesh, paid within a day,
His perfect life and death was the only way for man and Yeweh to be together again,
our sin for His righteousness imputed to men, now I walk and talk, only worshipping Him,
took my place at the cross and paid the price for my sin, now i'm able to eat freely from His table,no longer faced with sin. - Track Name: Wrath & Love
-
Repent and believe and don't be deceived and think your receiving the gift of relief from the cursed seed of Adam and Eve,
who bit from tree and was deceived by the serpents scheme in Eden the reason we seeking, He who hung on a tree,
you say there will time to make faith and accept the great but in that statement you always make a mistake, you can't make faith this it's a gift that you can't create so reshape your mind-state to escape what you can't prevent,
the Word of God states clear as day Ephesians 2:8 that the gift of faith is something we won't present, to the Lord of host in order that we won't boast in His presence on that great day, so what else is left there to say?
but switch your affections zoom out your lens from the vanities of life, on the Word of God zoom in, He made His selection whom He will bring, to everlasting life so repent and believe in Him,
the wrath of God is being revealed against wickedness and unrighteousness, seen clearly in the daily life we live, total depravity fall of humanity total calamity, naturally grafted in mans nature,
through the sin of one man, Gods wrath came to the created, and since then, pain and suffering became reality,
fall of creation, spread through the nation, even through His wrath revealing the ultimate plan for salvation, so I say, He cant be wrong!
How can a perfect God reveal anger laid out in the song? because if His love is perfect, so is His wrath, more then half and half, He's complete in His wrath,
cuz' His wrath is His love and His love is His wrath, just do the math and you'll find, God is unsurpassed the first and the last, one way out of His path,
accept the one who too the fulness of God's wrath. - Track Name: Forever Changed ft. Los of HGA
-
Verse 1 Los
Lock and Load, squeeze/ My God Alone, He's/ the very root of exposing my Flock of woes, Please/ see this the biggest problem with me and this Holy God/ I'm "tied" up in my sin and Holy I am not (Knot)/ You get it, Tied and knot, see I have tried a lot/ and that's the word on the street like bibles on a block/cause I'm inadequate, passionate but my path of sin Condemns me to the core unless I trust Jesus the Nazareth/ without Him even my good deeds abhor to Him/ cause see my good deeds, are Glorious sins/ that's not a metaphor better yet it won't ever score a perfect illustration of the wrath that I am headed for/ I'm in need of a substitute, someone who can come and Undo all my sinning moves/ or I'm gone/ He's holy holy and solely only going before me for His glory but His story soars to the core to restore me/ that's Jesus who came as a fetus to free us, and feed us a redeeming thesis now He sees us as Jesus/ uh huh, See I was pour in spirit till He came and poured His spirit/ now my pores and spirit resemble my portion who's a spirit/ you standing stranded understand it the outstanding standard can only be met by the standard who was standing stranded/ I can say He's raw, I can say He's lord, I say this dawg surely this is what Isaiah saw
Verse 2
Forever changed by His favor not based on aspects of my behavior anything i've earned to earn the favor of the savior,
or anything He has given foreknowing that He has risen, resurrection that was perfection, and through the first fruits were the proof of His perfection,
before the earth was election this blessing can't be rejected, because it is by His grace, He opens us to accept it, His goodness leads to repentance this is a everyday lesson so I stress it through it's progression, no need to seek His acceptance, accepted before I met Him,
His love is forever present, indwelling within my essence, protection that never lessens a lesson i'm always learning, so i'm turning from all of my yearnings,
of things that counter His blessing, i'm less then anything special and thats my ultimate destiny on a highway to heaven cuz' He's the one who accepted me,
eternally seated in heaven but closer then any brethren the goodness of God is how He leads me to repentance! - Track Name: Divine Meditations
-
Verse 1
It began late September 2005, salvation accepted the Gospel I was made alive, regeneration of my soul my whole mind was changed, rearranged the thoughts and aspects I had on life,
just graduated high school not to long ago, I was on my role attended community college on a roll, to what I thought was success, part of me was depressed, because I didn't fit in came from over seas a reject,
little did I know, He set me a part as elect, had a plan for my life to pull me out and intercept, all the plans that I had and what I thought was right, was invited to "The Point Uth" through a brother named Mike,
I guess you could say thats the night that I saw the light, the Gospel was proclaimed by Alan Adorno on that night, thats when the journey began, on my way to be a man and place my faith in the one and only son of man,
Jesus! the call I heard I couldn't reject, so I left my old ways, only by grace made this step, the first of many, on a road to daily death, repentance and trails but God is with me, through every step.

Verse 2
Fast foreword a couple of years, growing in faith, as I grow with my peers , being discipled at church as He's drawing me near, growing in wisdom and knowledge but with all that said,
I let the knowledge of the bible go straight to my head as I struggled with pride learning the doctrines of grace, I was doing historical theology, Calvinism and all of the doctrines of grace a bigger disgrace!
So I learned in this season, it's not all about your reason through the scriptures but how you apply it to your living, always showing love, I know at times that I didn't, to all the people I hurt i'm sorry I didn't mean it,
fast foreword convictions are shifting, as He gives me reason, at the time in a relationship that isn't pleasing to God, putting each other above Him, so we took a break to wait on Him,
His strength, that He would bring us through the length of this break up, we were faithful so He brought us through together again and our focus was God so we didn't shake up,
sought to do a courtship with marriage as the end, goal is the honor of the covenant that Jesus made with my soul, so I pledge to give over all control, and make Yasmin my wife, till the day the Lord comes to take me home.

The year 2010 has to be without question, up until this very date, the biggest year of my life, new job, new wife, new church, new child, the most spiritual battles i've had in a while, so where do I go from here? whats the moral of this story? the reason why i'm sharing all these things in testimony to point to the one who brought me through, and deserves all of my glory,
the one who before the foundation of the world called me,
the one who planned out my life to conform me more to the image of God and His story,
the one who is the reason for this contemplation,
the one who inspired divine meditations
the one who is forever seated upon the throne and the reason that I shout glory to God alone! - Track Name: Outro (Alex Lopez)

Divine meditations, what thoughts come to mind when I think of what is divine? Divine, pertaining to God, the supreme being. Thankfully, he hasn't left our minds adrift in the ocean of ideas. He has given us a map to lead us into the truth of who He is. The Holy bible, the scriptures that have stood the test of time, that have been scrutinized and dissected by top minds throughout history, still stand as the revelation from God of Himself. That He, being perfect and good, created a people that might reflect that perfection throughout all the universe in a perfect relationship. Yet the same people that He created rebelled against Him desiring to find perfection apart from Him. This is not just the story of two people in a garden. This is each of our stories, I have rebelled against God, trading the loving relationship with Him I was designed for, for the things of this world. Things that provide no ultimate satisfaction and will pass away. God, because of His perfection, must destroy me. The sinful cannot stand in the presence of a Holy God. What are we to do? We are dead if left in our sinfulness, But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ by grace you have been saved and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
So in Christ, God has provided us with everything necessary to have eternal life. Eternal life, not just a future state of existence in a heavenly realm, but presently alive and secure in a restored relationship with God.
