Death A word we Have all Come to fear For loved ones it Can most certainly bring forth their tears
But It was conquered Praise You, Lord God Lord Jesus For setting up Your plan To save the only One in your image Created Your man!
Saved by The Prince of Peace On an agonizing cross He suffered, died As His friends, mother They saw and all did weep But did it only for us all Our eternal souls To keep
So today while you Still have the chance Remember Christ’s Holy Glory The agony He endured Only to insure That you too could step Out of satan’s pit of hell Emptied out of your own Grave Now it’s your time to turn And of his death, Resurrection others to tell So they also may rejoice With one rising crescendo’s Voice To praise God the Father for The Son’s rise On that ancient but Most Glorious Easter morning!!
Soft and subtle Until it isn’t Then it rears its Ugly head To bite you Swallow you Whole Wishing to make you Only dead
satan’s darkness Works like that Starting with only angry Complaints Working undercover Until it completely removes All restraints To fully destroy you
So they did with Christ At first, Only anger’s hatred Until the evil within man Fully exploded Trying to destroy Someone most sacred God Himself!
At His last supper On this green planet He urged his true followers Of many things To love each other, Honor His blood and body With powerful words With Holy truths His words did ring
Until at last Men with clubs Came to gather Him To his accusers In only heartbeats They would soon be His Physical abusers Of all these occurrences Christ was already knowledgeable Knowing His Father’s will was Eternally indomitable Walked into their death trap And did it always and only To save all of us, me And of course, You!!
Holy Week A week like no other Man will ever see Heaven’s Holy Light Chose to walk, Talk with us Die for us Give us The chance to Do the choosing Between
Choosing between what You say? Between good and evil Heaven and hell Death and life God's peace or Man's evil strife Satan's narcissistic destruction Or God's sacrificial love
Behind whose back You choose to follow In whose steps You wish to walk Remember, One way rings false, Only hollow The other leads To a bliss filled eternity Full of nothing but God's peace To be eternally protected by HIS LOVE'S DIVINE SECURITY!!
Triumphal entry Fit for, Worthy of only a King Words of HOSANNA! Forever thru All the ages Will they, must they ring
Palms before your feet Were laid in praise From among the crowd, Children's voices were raised And if they had not Well, Then even the rocks Could not have been stopped From singing Your Glory!
So thank You, Lord Jesus For stepping into Our violent, cruel history With each step Each word Each drop of blood You declared your victory And thankfully, blissfully The world will never Be the same again!!!
This Holy Week Allow all on this world To Seek Only Your Face As each step You took Upon this dust Was meant to completely Erase Every single, last trace For each and every soul Of any or all Of their deepest disgrace
As palms were laid at Your feet You came riding always and only To seek Our completed well-being Which as You hung from the Nails Was all before Your face You chose to be seeing As the skies darkened The earth shook Rocks split As actually You could have Within your temporary flesh’s life Never ever did You just simply the saving Choose To Quit!!
Surpassing strength More Than all the energy Contained Within the unseen boundaries Of this universe Super nova explode Stars are birthed Planets rotate slowly Evolving More Than if all our atomic bombs Explode You are more powerful Than the entirety put together!!
A Holy Trinity dancing Through infinity In joy, power Unseen on earth Let go, merest man,
Let your heart and mind's Soul expand!!!
I cannot comprehend Such beauty, power Coming from, having no end I am consigned to traverse Under the light of only One strong sun While in only one hand You hold creation’s totality
Perhaps that is what is meant By that old-fashioned word GLORY Ah, such wonder Amazement Perhaps those thoughts alone You give to hold off despair To keep our souls soaring!!
How do You contain Such energy Dripping from your Fingers' tips Within each thought From each word From Your lips Then I remember You use some upon Our world On us Down from heaven Is it hurled Into glowing red sunsets Overhead Multi-colored tulips Crystal spider's webs Translucent blue waters Reaching more than a mile Each act of love we perform And into the newborn child's Very first smile!!
