Come

Come

Come, Lord Jesus, Come
Lord, King
My Master
To us, please, please return
Rend the sky
Waiting, I watch
Look up & sigh

But first,
Come perhaps
More softly
In Your great love
Rend, tear our hearts
Of this world
Surely, You’ve had 
More than enough

Help us, lead us
Show us only for life
Your way
On the face of this planet
Tired am I of an ever present 
Internet
Its siren song, misleading fantasies
Enchantment

Save us as only You can
Before you choose to return
To create Your promised land
New Earth, New Heaven
Make us Your hands, feet
Put in our hearts Your Love
So evil’s destructive voices
May You at last
Totally, completely defeat!

Into a Gutter Tossed

Into a Gutter Tossed


Feeling so lost
Into a gutter tossed
In the depths of it,
I sigh
Are You, Lord, passing me by?
Watching
I look
Give a soft moan

In only one heart’s beat
You stop
You are there
With one smile
You show You care

Reaching out one hand
Raise me to my feet
Save me
Your beauty’s grace on display
For all of this lost world to see!!

Footsteps in the Dust

Footsteps in the Dust

Heaven came down 
To earth
Each quiet, steady footstep
In the dust
Gives to each soul
A chance at its new birth

A fresh start
Watching to reward
Each beating heart
With a different level
Of existence
Then
Why, oh why.
Does He even today
Still meet with such 
determined resistance?

Why do we prefer
Our own cruelty
To Christ’s love?
Falling constantly
On our heads, shoulders
From skies above
Showing no one favoritism
His salvation’s glory contained
in only three precious words
He Is Risen!!

Confused???

Confused??

Why do we abuse?
Are we really
So confused
As to what we are?

Lies fly all around
Covering even the ground
Underneath my feet they crunch
Leaving me full?
Not so much

From an ancient hillside
The truths they flow
Rivers gushing of purest gold
Washing, seeking,
Purging each struggling,
Dying soul

Only within 
Christ’s outstretched
Hand
Lies the glory, truth of
His promised land

Under His feet 
Confusion flees
Before your face 
You will see
All lies die
They will end
As He rushes in
New life
New world
As only God can send

Beauty Sublime

Here’s a short, simple slide show of some photos I took on my bike rides along our greenway system where I live. Hope you enjoy and Praise God!

Beauty Sublime

Beauty Sublime
O’ for me sheer bliss
No matter the season 
Or the time
Lovely forms and colors
Upon his creation
God left one more kiss

Multitudes, varieties
No two exactly the same
To help us enjoy
And our senses to please
All this beauty
Was for man’s gain

So wander the world
Drink in its wondrous sights
Leaving it whole
Let it lift you to
New heavenly heights!

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
