Open Mic #5

Sound the alarm
The coming storm
Get ready
For His return
The gates to Hell
Will run amuck
But for my God
I am awestruck
Perfect Savior
He resurrects
But before that
God took on flesh
And we all know
He's the Son of Man
Son of God
The Great I Am
Sound the alarm
He's coming again
The powers of Hell
Couldn't do Him in
He is on fire
He is Grace
And His holy people
You can't replace
So God bless
Israel
A people He loves
And knows so well
Sound the alarm
There's a storm coming
He'll turn the devil's empire
Into nothing
You can't stop Him
He is unstoppable
We are the sick
He is the hospital
We are broken
He binds us together
He is where
I want to spend forever
As long as I live
I won't stop
I'll never stop shouting
Glory to God
So sound the alarm
And awake your sleeping sheep
For it's really the goats
That are still asleep
It's really the goats
That are still asleep

Open Mic #4

A lot of people talking trash
Their goal in life is cash
They say I must be trippin'
Because I am a Christian
But I follow someone
Bigger than myself
And I can't afford
To wind up in Hell
The devil I expel
But he has the world
Under his spell
Prince of the air
You better beware
This message is to be clear
Definitely not to scare
Satan is the author
Of confusion
Your goal to be on top
Is just an illusion
Perpetrated by Lucifer
He wants you to hurt
He wants you to grieve
He wants you to be a pawn
Under his sleeve
But will you break through?
Make the devil scared of you
Read the book of Revelation
And in that book
Is Satan's decimation
He loses
We win
Don't you want to be
Born again?
To live for Christ
In all that you do
Make the devil
Afraid of you
Because you're a Berean
And know the truth
In the end
The devil will lose
I don't care
For fat stacks
I just want the Lord of all
To have my back
The end is upon us
Where do you put your trust?
I soak up the Living Word
Because it is a must
And I cannot afford
To fade like the dust
Jesus is a must
Jesus is a must

Open Mic #3

I have a vision
He is the vision
If only these stiff-necked people
If only they would listen
I know that my Jesus
He is risen
A better future
With Him is my vision
He is the Key
To this world's ignition
For every first-world-problem
To every third-world mission
And I receive that blessing
From our God the Father
How the Blessed One
Loves His sons and daughters
I drink it up
O, that Living Water
It's that same sip
We need in this culture
We need Him in our schools
And every church structure
Corruption at the highest levels
Dumbing down the culture
And in my opinion
It's the worst form of torture
Because we are held accountable
By our foolish actions
But thank God in Heaven
Grace is His compassion
No Hollywood movie
Can compare to the Passion
I see the corruption in this world
The red lights are flashing
Because we need you
In our churches, in our schools
Let's obey His common rules
He is Love
He is Mercy
He is Grace
Forever abundant
We need His blessing
We need His Grace
I don't want my faith
To be out of place
I want it to ignite
In the saints the flames
A mighty power
No one can contain

Open Mic #2

So many troubled times
I was always looking for a way out
Of a relationship with the Living God
I didn't even want to talk about
Though He has been present
Every second of my life
It wasn't till in my mid-twenties
That I came to Christ
Before that happened
I was a miracle to just be alive
From bad neighborhoods
Shaken-baby syndrome
Schizophrenia
Prescribed antipsychotics
I was going through psychosis
I became a Muslim
I didn't care who noticed
Though my heart was shattered
It was broken
It wasn't till I asked Him in
That my eyes were opened
All this time
Thinking no one knows me
But since day 1
Jesus says He knew me
He knew that I would slip
He knew that I would fall
I was on my high horse
My ego just as tall
I hated Christians
I hated Jews
I probably even
Hated you, too
But I hated myself
More than I thought
I would tell Jesus
To just back off
But He wouldn't
And thank God He never did
He loved me since day 1
I was always His kid
I was baptized
In 2013
In the Name of Jesus Christ
He washed my sins clean
I've a new lease on life
I hope you know what I mean
If you really want to know
Read John 3:16

Open Mic #1

Hallelujah for the cross
If it wasn't for Jesus Name
I know that I
Would not be saved
I've been through a lot
God is all I got
And I put everything I have
Into my relationship
With my Heavenly Dad
And I will be glad in it
I know that I'm winning it
I hold onto the cross
Through the rough times in life
As well as the good
Grace in my neighborhood
Saved by faith I know I'm good
I just wish people would understand
That you have them in your hands
They just can't comprehend
How your Son rose from the dead
They are yelling
That it's impossible
I look at them and say
So is the Gospel
But we don't deny it
Because He is risen
I share the Gospel
With anyone who will listen
Because when I do
I receive a blessing
I'm a sinner too
That I am confessing
But the good news is Grace
He saved the human race
Just call on Him
And He'll forgive your sin
No matter how great
No matter how small
I want that blessing
I want it all
And I know you do too
But the way is narrow
And just a few
Will enter in
The pearly gates
The devil hates
To enter in
I cannot wait
To enter in
Won't hesitate

At the end of 2012 I felt like my life was falling apart. I had lost my home, my dogs, my weight which I have always had problems with was getting out of control again, and I was struggling to understand why all of this was happening to me and my family. We should have had a home because you are guaranteed that when you are military family. We should have had money because you are guaranteed that when you are a military family. I was scared and thousands of miles away from home. I was scared and my health was getting worse because of it. I had a migraine at least two days a week and started being in pain with something I did not even finally get answer for until a few months ago. Eventually, we made it back home but not before my heart broke a little more with the loss of the first dog I ever got to call mine. My family which includes myself, my husband, and two children had to move in with my husband's father. It was a one bedroom apartment and we all slept in the living room for almost a year. That first year home we struggled, my husband and I fought and almost lost each other in our anger and frustration, we didn't know if we would make it but we did. Something else happened that first year though and it happened to me. My mother is the reason it happened and I am still not sure if she knows that. She was talking to me about Jesus and she was happier than I had honestly seen or heard her be in a long time. I wanted to know more and I wanted to be happy. It was not overnight or a quick conversion for me. I learned a little and I read a little. I went to church with my parents. One day I was in the shower and I realized I wasn't sad anymore. I asked Jesus into my life in the shower in March of 2013(I am not sure of the exact date). It is a decision I have not regret. I still struggle sometimes. The different between then and now is that I understand that it isn't for me to do and I have to give it to Jesus. Sometimes I do that five times a day because human nature is to think you have to do it yourself. You don't. Lately, I have been trying to live in this world more than looking to my Savior and I have struggled. I know I shouldn't and I don't want to. I have to look up to Jesus and what awaits me with Him. It is so much more than this world has to offer. Even though I struggle, even though I slip, even though I backslide sometimes, even though I am not perfect He is and I am saved.

Mission Statement

The blood covers us
The blood of Jesus
Let it rain crimson
We are on a mission
Clean up our lives
It's about perseverance
In everything we do
Jesus is the essence
He tells us to clean up
Our dirty lives
To live as one
In the wonders of Christ
I walk this road
With a Bible by my side
This is the mission statement
The government hates Him
But we live for Him
We are His children
To preach of His Good News
That is our Mission
Live for Christ
Love Him in all you do
The Crimson Ministry
We speak for the truth
You can't serve two masters
You'll love one
And hate the other
I tell you to follow Jesus
There is no other
We must come to Him
This is our mission statement
To live for Christ
Though the world hates Him
He took the world's sin
But the grave couldn't contain Him
We are on a mission
Let it rain crimson
To wash away our sins
With the blood of Jesus
And though they hate Him
And though they hate His Word
We're covered in the crimson
Of our Savior and our Lord
The crimson covers us
The blood of Jesus
It's that same blood
With power that frees us
This is our mission statement
We bow before the Lord
All else is vanity
So obey the Word
All else is vanity
So bow before the Lord
