New Eden
With a trumpet’s blast
Angelic wings will beat
To agitate, despoil the air
Their voices shout
It will come about
With lightning’s speed
This new Eden
Glorious, magnificent
Will descend
The old order will
Completely end
New heavens, new earth,
A new Jerusalem
My feet will trod
Upon a newborn sod
New city with streets
Of fine-spun gold
No more will man
To sin be sold
On street corners so cheaply
Everything seen now
Is only shadow, temporary
Probably,
Out of necessity
All man’s creations
Will be done away with
So God’s New Earth,
New Heavens
At last may begin
Joy, peace, love
Of these things
There will be no end
Eternal God will reign
Death, tears, pain
Will all be gone
Praise to God, Christ
Will be forever’s song
So do not miss
Reunion with
Your Creator
Do not deny
His Touch,
His infinity’s kiss
Take His hand now
So you and I may stay,
Live in Glory’s new day,
Together, Forever!!
Do Not Sell Yourself So Cheaply
Why do we sell ourselves
So cheaply?
Do not give away yourself
So quickly.
You are an eternal soul
Worth so much more than gold
Never meant to be sold
As slaves
To this earth
And its selfish,
Physical ways
So for awhile just stay
And listen
I say we are the only ones
Ever created in God’s own image
Fleshly though, we are
His daughters, His sons
Meant to carry His face
His goodness to trace
To all of His creation
Reflect His presence,
Glory and grace
So let us get about
The job we have been given
So it may be said
With nobility we have striven
And with a grand shout
Letting go all our doubts
Rise, transcend to
His Majesty’s infinity!!
Don’t Blame God
I fuss, I cuss,
I spit, I hiss
I extend my claws
Without a pause
I’ll let you have it
Then down I shrink
After a moment to think
Why did I do that?
Lost control again
I simply cannot win
Control
Over this lustful, errant
Soul
Of mine
Maybe with more time?
But no
I know
That will never happen
Not in my day
Will I ever have complete sway
Who can I blame
To mind comes the only name,
Myself, me
I am the only one I see
Standing inside, beside me
So do not blame God for
Our destructive of life behavior
Nor can you blame your neighbor
He has his own evil to deal with
God holds out his light
Love, joy peace
Always within your reach
It is Your Choice
So do not keep
On blaming God
For our compliance, our nod
Toward the darkness
Can You Find Me?
Can you find me
In the rush,
The crush
Of this life?
Chaos has been unleashed
Upon the streets
Of the unseeing,
The unsuspecting.
Blinded, deluded
By one so evil
satan – darkest lord
that devil
Great deceiver
Desiring to destroy
Believers, non-believers
Us all
Thru him came
Our darkest fall
But God’s light shines
Thru each & every time
Piercing, undiminished,
Undimmed by any culture
No man or devil’s hand can
Destroy Christ’s future
He has planned
For those who love Him!
I cannot Save You
Sitting on a throne
Royal blood decided
And even though angels chided
His mind would not be changed
I will go do this
Their eternal bliss
Hangs in the balance
For this they will
Have utterly no talent
I myself will save them!
So do not look to me
I too must stay on bended knee
For my own salvation to receive
On a pedestal do not place a human
I do not wish to draw you toward me.
My, man’s blood, is tainted
And although a human head
May be called sainted
Still man’s blood is impure
For none will escape that tragic allure
Sin still holds for all of us
It took the blood of the purest of all
To cleanse our darkest sins
You must follow His voice & His alone
If You truly desire to win
This battle most ferocious
we all currently struggle in,
For Only Christ’s Holy
But bloodied, clean waters
Can remove the blackened stains
Of our, (man’s), horrific sins!
