these hours by Alistair Chong

calling out

calling out
again
i've failed
over and over
break me
for what breaks You

conference

one 09 by Alistair Chong

here to shake the planet
live in us
we cry
saturated and content
secure in You

saving grace

risen by Alistair Chong

tomb stone gone
pushed away
from death
here He comes
with glory and life in His breath
risen.

The Anthem by Planetshakers

Hallelujah, You have won the victory
Hallelujah, You have won it all for me
Death could not hold You down
You are the risen king
Seated in majesty
You are the risen king

with everything

how it should by Alistair Chong

each string
ringing through
over me
and through me
this is how it's meant to be
music in my head
music all around
all night
playing as one

Good Friday

Good Friday by Alistair Chong

friday
Jesus Christ
hanging on a cross
blood in the dirt
divine blood
innocent
carries our shame
completely broken
for you
for me

surround me

here comes by Alistair Chong

waiting for hours to crawl
on their knees
i'm waiting for something to happen
please
i want to surrender
but my white flag
white no more

8.4.09

stare

broken tonight by Alistair Chong

light off
open eyes
no more sleep.
ceiling drawings
in my mind
dark from deep.
street lights
seeping in
faintly white.
music
broken in sound
broken tonight.

surrounds

fear by Alistair Chong

only one
i am only one
six billion can fill this world
but i am only one
faces surround me
but still this space

what satisifies

real fun by Alistair Chong

the world sometimes
is empty
searching for more highs
always in vain
the wrong veins
they explore
i walk with them
and it's cold
breaking this mould

5.4.09

for you

surprising by Alistair Chong

waiting in wait
watching for the door to open
it's funny watching
those insecurities fall from you
and you laugh

4.4.09

arise

oppress by Alistair Chong

fight the fight
as it becomes darker and darker
this dying light
goodness grows sick
twisted and broken

3.4.09

leave me alone

stages by Alistair Chong

ending one part
left behind
for good
waiting to catch onto
something new
i don't want to be
broken and charred
a shattered jar
but the pieces
cut my hands
and remind

2.4.09

looking up

sick of by Alistair Chong

tire
tire out and dry
each step
footprints grow light
and fade away
fading words from a fading day
getting sick of
this pedestal you're on

1.4.09

april fools

fool by Alistair Chong

april fools
mindless and empty
happy in broken states
satisfaction i empty face
good with mediocrity
april fools
you got me good
too well
but i'm done
done here
