Man of Integrity

Man of Integrity
Let’s see you shine
How long and hard
You’ve worked the road
To see it all unwind.

This is your time
To take your place
Let all the people see
No time to stop, the ticking clock
There will be no more delay.

Over the hills
Round up, you go
Tethering His flock you may
This is the time
Let your light shine
Direct them narrow and straight.

Ticking the clock
It’s near 12:00
Time is slipping near
Don’t stop this trot
Oh tickering tock
This is an alabaster trade

Oh beckoning dear!
No need to fear
This moment is pervious
Indignant yet still
Open your heart
It’s ready fresh fervor and dill

Man of Integrity
Let’s see you shine
It’s time to drink of the vine
Be still blessed one
Your light does still shine
Crack open these shambles and lay 

The Fruit of the Vine is that of Wine

Colleen Livingston

Orchards amazed of glorious splendor
Lord God, Your sons, have now surrendered
Nations upon nations bow down to Your name
King of the Jews! They loudly proclaim.
October they laugh, they scoff, and they mock
But look out remember it’s soon 12 o’clock
Arise all you nations! Arise now in time!
Soon we’ll remember as we drink down the wine
The nations will squawk as the witnesses speak
But those who are wise will humble and greet
Arise all you nations!  Arise it’s the time!
A fifth of the vodka no longer will shine
Sobering up at awakening gasps
The world as we know it will soon but pass
Be strong now beloved
Be strong in the Lord
It’s you that He died for
For you He did pour
His blood is remembered
We drink it and sigh
Remembering sweetly
His love not denied
Good come overcomers
Give strength to the weak
Remember to always turn other cheek
Express now His love
Our time soon will pass
As we drink of the vine
And lift Him our glass
Orchards upon orchards
Will call on His Name
The End it is Coming!
Now Loudly Proclaim!
Multitudes! Multitudes!
Drink of the vine
Remembering sweetly
It is our time.

Sweet September
By: Colleen Livingston

The ocean’s shore
A midsummer’s night,
I bid you good tidings
To thee a good night.

Do not fret or worry
Hold dear and hold tight,
I bid you good tidings
To thee a good night.

A manger, no danger
Just solemnly drift,
No worries this evening
The cares all just lift.

A midsummer’s day
Outside looking gray,
No worries tomorrow
Just sunshine at bay.

Awaken the sleepers
No resting the lame
Hark herald! The angels
Now loudly proclaim.

Awaken the heavens!
Come down to the ground,
Igniting the future
A glorious sound.

Open the heavens!
Come down through the gates!
I’ll always be smiling
In this resting place.

Goodbye sweet September
I’m holding you dear,
This time near is coming
Hold tight now this year.

Everlasting

Everlasting Your mercy reigns
An unearthing point of view
So far have I fallen
That You would make me
something new

Everlasting You shine
Growing bigger deep inside
One day soon You will take over
In step with You
I will abide

Everlasting My Savior
Mighty King Your glory shines
I can’t recall a moment but
The tethering winds shook down
my spine

Everlasting deep blue sea
Searching fervently through the night
One day soon the glory will come
Shifting brightly but not
too tight

Everlasting lay my pillow
Down to sleep, yes now I pray
Someday soon I’ll get to know You
Someday soon will be
the Day

Everlasting don’t forget me
Everlasting knows my name
In Him I seek my refuge
On my knees I now
Do pray

Goodnight, my dear Beloved
Goodnight, my Holy and True
You are the One I treasure
Giving life and
All things new

Her Name Now is Sadie

Colleen Livingston

There was a moment when I could see
A moment when it all came and hit me
Awakened I was by a moment’s blast
I was reminded of what I did in my past
I ached and I moaned long dead to the grave
Those souls long dead wondering which ones were saved
Hours and nights I’d ponder these things
Till one day it hit me the life’s song I did sing
Halleluiah! my praises they sing to the end
Halleluiah! my song to you I do send
My darling blue morning jay birds do sing
Sweet song of salvation my soul now does bring
All of the laughter, all of the cries
Those many years that passed me by
I know now my pardons, I know now my past
But I’m glad now His mercy has saved me at last
My name now is Sadie
I stand proud and sing
The glorious hope and future He brings
His love lasts forever
His love never ends
For now it’s goodbye to my sweet dear old friends
Goodbye sweet ones
May love ever last
Goodbye my sweet dear
With you I am grateful
To shed now this tear
Amen

Coming Near

Colleen Livingston
   
 
The time is now!

It's coming to a head!

Do not look back,

But forward instead!

 

The highways and byways

Have all faded by,

Don't let another year

Pass you by.

 

The time is coming near

To an end,

I'm calling you swiftly

My friend I hold dear.

 

Open your heart

And give it your all,

My friend let's get ready

Your name I do call.

 

Lord, God, My Shepherd

Please tend to your flock,

I know near embarking

Soon late twelve o'clock.

 

My Lord, call me quickly

My Lord, give my all,

My Lord, ticking swiftly

My Lord, final call.

 
Hearken near!

All you who hear!

There is something much deeper

To see.

An angel told me late right this night

A message for all you to see.

Late here in November a loud solemn cry

A drifting memory passing by.

Life as you know it

Sure won't be goin it

Time now to beckon and hear.

The ticking and tocking is the time running clocking

Run over the old left not near.

You best be believing

In the One who is cleaving,

The One who will give you a sear.

Take a bite it's quite a delight

It's all that you thought and then more.

No worries dear fellow

Come peace and now mellow

It's all that you need

So don't fear.

The Bridegroom is coming near.

 

 

 

Nation of Light

Colleen Livingston

Clothed with Light!
This nation shall be,
Shimmering glowing!
With great majesty.

I pledge allegiance!
An open book song,
For all who have been pardoned,
And have hung on this long.

Halleluiah! We praise Him!
In sweet victory!
Ignited hearts glaring,
As one we will see.

A mountain has tumbled,
An ocean turned two,
Many have fallen,
In great destitute.

America a nation!
Was once great and strong!
A part in this world,
You no longer belong.

Hold tight and hold stronger!
It’s our time to lead!
This world it has fallen,
There’s nothing to see.

A holograph, a sonogram,
An open heart beat.
Let’s march for a new life,
Calling all to their knees.

Obama and Oprah,
There is no difference you see.
No matter the title,
It’s our destiny.

A nation of beauty!
Of one great design,
Lay down now your burdens,
And turn now your blind eyes.

Scales will fall now,
Awakened we’ll be!
Shining with glory!
The land of the free!

Over the hills,
Through desperate valleys,
America has fallen,
It’s fame all gone sadly.

The world will go on,
This nation will change,
Humbled the proud,
Will call His name.

Jesus of Nazareth!
The King of all kings!
Right now you are calling,
Us down to our knees.

Repent now I grant you,
My mercy and grace!
A time of forgiveness,
To seek out My face.

I likened to call it,
A time to hold fast,
The bride she is arousing,
Her King to come back!

A nation of light!
This nation will be!
Hold on and hold tight!
For the One who is unseen!

 A crown on His head,
Red robe you will see.
He’s ready to conquer
It’s His victory!

Goodnight now, My children,
It’s time now to sleep.
But soon you will wake up,
And arise as My sheep!

Free Fall

Colleen Livingston

Children of Abraham
Children of Light
If you walked a mile in my shoes
Would you not know what I would do?
If He was my righteousness
Would He let me fail?
Let us take the leap
Free fall
Who knows, maybe what we will gain
Complete freedom, nothing in vain
Lord, let me live up to Your name
If I completely vanish
Completely die
It would be You who’d be glorified
Are You not deserving?

Forget Not

Colleen Livingston

Forget not where you came from
Forget not what He did
Suffering greatly He died, yes
And gladly forgave.

Shine Now

Colleen Livingston

Awake now oh sleepers
Arise now and shine
Shine now, yes, shine on
