A New Mercy Seat

A New Mercy Seat

A new covenant
A new mercy seat
To make us more whole
Ever more complete
With arms outstretched
This resurrected Christ
Promises us new life

Long, long ago
During a desert journey
So arduous
Our Creator/God
Reached down
With Holy Hands
So glorious
To lift us up
Toward Himself

Creating a Golden
Ark of His Covenant
Between cherubim wings
He placed a Mercy Seat
Atop it
It would be for His people
Of His Love, GLORY,
Presence
A strong deposit

But with Today's
Newest covenant
God's Presence
Comes alive
A Living
Resurrected Christ,
His new Mercy Seat,
To recreate in us
A new heart, new mind,
A completely transformed
Resurrected life!!

To Fly






To Fly

I want to be
Earthly poor
But
Then…
I want to be
Heavenly rich
But
Then…
Happened that one
Simple glitch
We made that
One simple switch
By satan's evil were
We bewitched

Exchanged
The truth
For
The lie
Causing so many
Hearts to cry
In pain so
Many to die
When will we
Let go
And
Truly learn
How to fly?

Grow true wings
In angel choruses
Learn to sing
Return back home
To our One
Holy King
Christ Jesus awaits
Violently
Throws open
Heaven's Gates

So
With new wings
As bird's at night
Return to roost
May we return
To God's truths
And
At last
From all
Earthly pains
Be eternally
Loosed!

The Goal

The Goal

Christ had a goal
In many words
In His sacred book
Is this very specifically told
It was to save us

With His love, kindness,
Endurance
And
Finally, death
Was it shown
But
Also with His brutal honesty
In words sometimes harsh
Was it told

Today more than ever
Do people need to hear
Truth of our reality
Sin is still sin
Still wrong
Never a golden crown
Will we win
Without facing God's truths

In the war that rages
Around us for our souls
May we ever be honest
With ourselves, others
Win back that
Which satan stole
Intimacy with God
But only in heaven's
Complete truth
Will ever we be able
To reach that perfected goal!
