Truly Alive!

Truly Alive

Spirits all for Now
Bound, so tightly, held,
Within the cage of
this fleshly shell

Someday to be released
Will we be angel or the beast?
Endure darkness’ chains
Or a heavenly feast?
Will we choose
To gain better or lose?

So take the gift of your
Now Alive
& with all of your strength,
Fiercely struggle, intensely try
Stretch for those heavenly skies
& reach for the more,
The better in the privilege
It is to be Truly Alive!

A Question

A Question

When at last the pen
Becomes too heavy
& forced am I 
To finally put it down
Will the universe echo,
As I tremble,
With even the smallest sound
Of my loss?

A Fiery Dance

A FIERY Dance

When I think of Jesus
I think of fire & a heat
Found only in
the cadence
& the beat
Of His Intensely Holy Dance!

So trembling, with moving feet
Across the room I sweep
Caught up in, entranced
Within Your Holy Dance!

Limbs intertwining
By your side I am sighing
For this enchanting dance,
We should ever be so willing
To suffer any reprimand
Or even the risk of dying
From the hand of man!

Testify, Testify

Speak in whom you believe
Don’t be afraid to let
The whole world see
Show your faith
Break open those silent gates
& Testify

Life is not about
Philosophy or religion
But a Someone
A one and only Son
Salvation came 
Only because He gave
His Life

We are a creation
Made in Someone’s image
To be a smaller imitation
Of His Greatness’ reality
A goodness, love,
Righteous purity

So, let go
Let the words flow
Speak their names
Christ, Yahweh,
Rejoice you are allowed to say
Ring out the words
About whom you believe!

A Passion

A Passion

A passion has been lost
To the winds has been tossed
Blurred, obliterated
Distorted 
By modern distractions
Almost destroyed

But, 
All’s not lost
Passion can be revived
If we will but try
Embers are still burning
If to His heart 
we will be turning
Letting go of an ancient enemy’s lies

Stir the lurking flame
Found only in Christ’s name
Arise, ignite
Fan to life
In His sight
The now slumbering giant
Upon whom our faith is reliant
Called by the name of
FAITHFUL SACRIFICE!

Death

Death

A pulling out of the body
Will come for everyone
A removal of the familiar
It is a valley we must all pass through

So prepare yourself
While you still have a chance
While it is your Today
While you’re still this side of the grave
Do not listen to satan’s song & dance
Of denial

About  
Who owns this world & us
In a darkened voice do not place your trust
Only God promises renewal of your life
A final calm, relief from all pain & strife

Why do we ignore this deep but
Simple truth
So, 
In this world amidst your daily struggles, toil
Remember
Death is something no one can avoid
