this is an exerpt from my published work, Seek His Face, Volume I

Shadowborn

Ever will the heart of man
Seek to guard the dark within
Crushing what the light would show
Denying freedom to the soul

Avarice, hate, deceit, and strife
All lead to everlasting night
Oh can the darkened heart of man
Fulfill the laws demands

There is a god inside of me
Thriving on dark apart from Thee
Shaping my hopeless destiny
Condemning my soul eternally

This endless struggle we endure
For we are not what we were
Redemption waits, errant child
To pierce the dark cleanse the vile

Oh son of man would you be saved
One bled freely death He gave
Immanuel and Prince of Peace
Sacrificed to grant release

There is a god inside of me
Thriving on dark apart from Thee
Shaping my hopeless destiny
Condemning my soul eternally

Hope lies not in strength of man
Where souls toil on in barren land
The heart of wrath can be remade
Sin atoned judgement paid

Relinquish will self and pride
The gods within must all die
Embrace the death light demands
Claim redemption fallen man

Now this God inside of me
Fulfilled the law on Calvary
Granting release from slavery
He shapes my life my destiny
