Giving

Giving

In the giving
You do the receiving
Therein likes the way of being
Like Christ

Who gave His Only Life
For us
Asking only in His Words
For us to trust

Let go of all the struggling
Of the sometimes pain & strife
Of always the will to get
Then on this journey should we let
Ourselves become that living sacrifice!

Gratitude – A Thanks Giving

Taking our punishment on Himself
Until of all physical life was He bereft
Of all our failures, darkest sins
Were we completely cleansed
Until none of it was left

In return for this should we not
At least a few moments a day
Let go,
Our own careless ways to stop
And say one Thank You!

I love a blank page

I love a blank page
Nice way to start my day
As words fill the head
An incentive to leave my bed

Perfectly pure white
A welcoming sight
Black marks fill to the end
Hoping I may to you send
A better day of Blessings & Joy!

Morning Prayer - A Beautiful Day!

Come Lord Jesus
Let’s have a beautiful day!
Keep my eyes focused up
Toward your ever flowing cup
Of Your Purest Joy & Love

Thank you for letting me look above
Toward your beaming, smiling Face
Unending Overwhelming Mercy & Grace
Of this, I desperately need
A very large spoonful’s taste!

Help me stay focused off 
The chaotic darkness below
Our wars, pain & greed
Allowing me to clearly perceive 
Your Radiant Perfection’s Glow

A different way & place to live
Is what you always wished to give
Eternity’s paradise, those opened gates
To a much better place
And the overwhelming beauty
Found only on your Holy Face!

Came From

Came From

I came from 
& to you will return
Dear God
For your warmth-filled embrace
I deeply yearn

Your hallowed halls
I long to peruse
At the edge of your feet
Those power-filled, golden shoes
I tremble

Yet there, 
I find my most peaceful rest
& only at your behest
Am I allowed to rise
With expectant eyes
To see for myself
At last,
Your beauty’s-filled smiling sighs!

The First!

The First

Christ must come first
Everything else a poor second
As you listen to His voice
So sweetly trill & beckon

Return to me
I will return to you
A new day will break forth
Ensue!

A sun unlike any other
Will roll & rise
A shining, sparkling
New planet
To be beheld with widened eyes

To live in a new universe
These second-hand words
I now rehearse
Taken from the writings
Of an ancient Holy Book
I am allowed to delight in reciting!
