Pentecostal Fire
Disciples, huddled
In an upper room
Shaking in their boots
Trying to dispel the gloom
Of your death
Feeling only fear’s failure was left
Until,
A Pentecostal fire
Blazed across their heads
By tongues of living fire
Were they to be led
To stop the shaking, quaking
& rise up
Boldly speak
Those first words of hope
To preach
And loudly proclaim
In many tongues
The life, the power
Of God’s only RISEN SON!
Prayer for this Sunday Morning
I am going to rise up
Quit living in the muck
Satan attempts to
drag me down into
And I choose YOU
Lord Jesus,
I choose you
And you ever-growing hope!
Amen.

Haiku for May
(an early spring’s day)
Though shown just in Spring
Flowers by the bunch dazzle
Still hold much power
Warning, Warning!
Warning, warning
Read all about it
Warning, warning
Voices raise to shout it
The great reckoning
Is coming
For us,
Out
the time is running
Soon will we all
Peoples be allowed
God’s face & presence
No longer will be disavowed
All to be judged
In His great presence
Investigating each life’s essence
In His Book it is assured
No one left not adjured
To be brought before His throne!!
Revelation 20:11-13 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.
Before
Before all time and space
There was a glorious face
Full of only grace
Love for all He surveyed
Having always the last say
Over everything
But,
His goodness, beauty
So overwhelming
So always flowing
Over and upward welling
He wished to share it
With others
So the Three got together
Made planets spin
Stars shine
But decided they had rather
Make some someones
A planetary home was made
The darkest of night
Became a day
Animals, all creatures
Brought into His sight
Then
His allowed His man to stand upright
He felt such joy
In this glorious child
He had truly let
His imagination run wild
Crowned us at last
With one glorious smile!
Shout for joy
All the earth
At the glory
Of this first birth
But never fear,
He will remove
For a second time all tears
As once again,
The battle against
Darkness He will win
Return us,
Back home
If we choose
Remember God will
Never ever lose!!
