Matthew Buck Poems

Greater than the Angels and
Greater than Moses.
You tasted death for us all.
You give us rest when we fall.
...

I feel like my life is going stale,
But I know in You I will prevail.
Reignite the fire, strike up some matches,
In the meantime I'll don sackcloth and ashes.
...

When I want to do right, I still do wrong,
Only in you, am I made strong.
No one could ever, love me like you,
More than a carpenter, son of a Jew.
...

There is a great weight on my shoulders, but it's not mine alone to bear,
To me it represents freedom, but others see despair.

There is a great weight on my shoulders, it weighs 125 pounds,
Some say that it's too heavy and I need to put it down.
...

You're in my heart, you saved my soul,
To you my life, I give control.
You lift me up when I am down,
At your feet I cast my crown.
...

In my times of trouble,
In my times of grief.
There is only One Way,
I know I'll find relief.
...

When this world tries to knock me down,
I turn to The One, who wears the crown,
From thorns to gold it transformed,
Defeating death I've been reborn!
...

I once was walking in the dark.
Lost and lonely, no walk in the park.
Then I saw Your shining light,
So I took off running with all my mite.
...

I lie, I lust, I steal and I cheat,
I am but filthy rags at your feet.
Why do I do the things that I do?
When I know that they will never please you.
...
