Thank You #2


Thank You #2

Thank you for my nice soft bed
Thank you, Lord Jesus,
For wanting to come
And live in my head
And inside my stoic heart
After all You said
Each day everyone
Needs and deserves
A fresh new start!!

Thank You

Thank You!

Thank you 
For wanting the
Destitute and the Desperate
From the homeless beggers
And hungry orphans on the streets
And trafficed children 
Lying at their rapist's feet
From the Unloved child
In the womb
About to be aborted
In a cold, hard, sterile room
All of these Lord Jesus
You love, want passionately
And died for
Shouldn't we also?

You See

You See

You see me
I am known
In You may I 
Grow 
Become

More 
Of What
You wish to see
Me to be

A daughter
Or son
With this thought
May I run
Be still
Let you, God, fill
My empty hollows

No One

No One

There is no one,
No not one
On the face of this green planet
Who does not need 
The One and only Son

A living, breathing
Beyond words All-powerful
Beautiful, Lord, Master,
The only GOD
Ready at any time
Us inside to displace
(Notice I did not say erase)

He will fill you with Himself
So you may have a forever life
Not to end up so bereft
Not following a broken world
Spiraling toward its own
Darker death

So let Christ in
For you He only wants to win
His Eternity's Paradise
It is an honor, privilege
To carry out 
Into His creation
Of His love a small slice 

Making His world
A place more peaceful
So much calmer
For you, this will be
At all no bother

Making yourself able to say
Not I that lives but Christ
Helping others give to themselves
A richer world full of
Much, much better days!

The Reason!

The Reason

A political chaos,
A mess,
Rages outside our doors
Seeming louder, louder
More and more

But is it the real issue
Really the Problem?
Or is there something
Penetrating deeper
into each home
Down into the 
Marrow of our bones?

Chaos, pain
The symptoms
Of a general sickness
Not just in this country
Worldwide a plague is this
Screaming, howling,
An everyday test

We sense the underlying
Abnormalness, 
In our hearts a deviation
From a clearest sanity
Could it be from our hands
The faults, all our own creation?

Most, or should I say all
Ancient civilizations
Felt an undergirding need
In the heart an inner call
For something outside the self
Dare I call it a god?
Is this the hand we seem
To have been dealt?

The answer is missing
Unless we pay close attention
Let's stop all the searching
Listen to our own urgings
To words inspired by a Holy Spirit
Meant in our minds to clear it
This worldwide, mass confusion
Take it out of the hidden darkness
Away from secretive collusion
This answer to the stress
All our world's lamenting strife
Look to our King, our Lord
OUR LOVING JESUS CHRIST!!

Leaving Everything!

Leave Everything Else!

Leaving everything else,
All of our past, behind
So we may each day
More clearly shine
With only Your Face
Leaving at all no trace
Of anything else 

Praise You,
God Jesus,
Praise You!!
