Why didnt she speak to me, Elisha?


And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out,
there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And
his servant said to him, "Alas, my master! What shall we do?"]
--------------------------------


I wish I had eyes like Elisha, obstinate
not despairing
not fretting
when everything you think you know
vanishes in some cosmic whirlwind of emotion
taken away forever
blown on your knees your
face in the dust
your tears overwhelm your manly restraints

I thought I had her. I thought we would be together
I dream of her palm composed as it rests in mine
and her eyes
filled with content
but she didnt speak to me, I was there yet
not noticed
barely breathing, to God I wished I could send my spirit
loathing
in an instant hope disappeared
the land barren, dust storms

She was my Elijah
without her I am blind;
If I would only see....the lies
The angels that surround me are love enough
preventing my feet
from falling on stones
their prodigious shields deflecting my calamity - loneliness, despair, suicide
I am surrounded by chariots burning: fires of Jehovah's
loyalty
compassion
and even though she's gone
the company I keep will mend my heart shattered
without Elijah,
without her,
I will be just fine



(I SHALL OVERCOME AFTER YOU LEAVE ME)

I will be just fine

SHE DIDNT EVEN SAY HI TO ME THAT DAY.....I WILL DIE WITHOUT HER.....ELISHA ELISHA WHAT IM GON DO MAN? WHAT IM GON DO, DAWG? LISA DOESNT EVEN WANT TO TALK TO ME!



So he answered, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than
those who are with them." And Elisha prayed, and said, "LORD, I
pray, open his eyes that he may see." Then the LORD opened the eyes
of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of
horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. So when the Syrians
came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, "Strike this
people, I pray, with blindness." And He struck them with blindness
according to the word of Elisha. (2 Kings 6:15-18)

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He
who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)

You tried the pleasures of this world but still there's something missing
'Cause when you close your eyes at night you can feel your heart
still searching
I know you tired of being let down so you lookin' for love in all the
wrong places
So search no more, 'cause it's the life of Christ your soul's been
missing - Trip Lee











------------Trip Lee "Lookin 4 Luv"
All you've been searchin’ and lookin' in all the wrong places
Search no more. Love is here.

Hey I had to write this song 'cause the masses are mistaken
They've confused the word love with infatuation
Its sad 'cause when we lackin love the wrong path is taken
They missing out ‘cause getting true love is past amazing
It's more than a passing statement, a short lasting craving
It ain't refusing not to wait, it ain’t mad impatience
Some been tryna find love in that guy or gal they dating
And before long they hormones are fastly raging
Yeah true love is a must, but that ain't love, it's lustin'
Love would never ask you to ungodly stuff
Its honest plus, it ain’t wrong and hard to trust
Its everlasting and can't happen when the heart's corrupt
Resting on false love you must realized you’ll plummet
'Cause real love is much more than butterflies in ya stomach
Most of us are out of line 'cause really the bottom line
Is we looking for love but ain’t sure what we tryna find

You tried the pleasures of this world but still there's something missing
'Cause when you close your eyes at night you can feel your heart
still searching
I know you tired of being let down so you look for love in all the
wrong places
So search no more 'cause it's the life of Christ your soul’s been missing

We must learn that love is perfect, it never will fail
I'm ready to tell, its needed and forever prevails
It's so glorious, I'm sure we need some more its true
The world’s confused and seems to have a distorted view
Most think love's a sweet kiss, a nice statement in time
But don’t know that love is sacred, its patient and kind
It's not filled with sinful jealousy, doesn't brag and boast
It's priceless and can't be bought with a stack of dough
It's so true. It's not rude. It doesn’t seek its own
It's selfless, I; telling this because we need to know
It's not easily angered, keeps no record of wrongs
It forgives, it's a blessing and forever is strong
It don't delight in evil but it likes the truth
It's liberating never fading and it's righteous too
I'd like for you to put love first in here
It always protects, always trusts, hopes, and perseveres

You tried the pleasures of this world but still there's something missing
'Cause when you close your eyes at night you can feel your heart
still searching
I know you tired of being let down so you look for love in all the
wrong places
So search no more 'cause it's the life of Christ your soul's been missing

I can't stress enough the fact that love will never end
It's eternal better than this other stuff so let it in
Such an unusual experience beyond expression
We need it, we gotta seek it, yeah love is a blessin'
Utter perfection, but something most guys will lack
So the remaining real question's, "Where you find it at?"
I know you wondering if you don't wanna die and miss love
Seek Christ, 'cause the Bible says that GOD is Love
For GOD so loved the world, HE would redeem you and me
Yeah it was love that made HIM bleed and cling to a tree
That’s the truth, so without the SON you losing
HE shows love and for that there's no substitution
We try to fill the void with things of all sorts
But let us stop settling for things that fall short
HE can be the lover of our souls turn now to Christ
Lookin' for love? Well true love is found in Christ

You tried the pleasures of this world but still there's something missing
'Cause when you close your eyes at night you can feel your heart
still searching
I know you tired of being let down so you lookin' for love in all the
wrong places
So search no more, 'cause it's the life of Christ your soul's been missing

You tried the pleasures of this world but still there's something missing
‘Cause when you close your eyes at night you can feel your heart
still searching
I know you tired of being let down so you lookin' for love in all the
wrong places
So search no more, 'cause it's the life of Christ your soul's been missing
