Transcendence

Transcendence

Transcendent,
Light gathers in the air
Around you
Everywhere
Nothing left untouched

Bringing Life
Glorious, Bright
Destroying strife
Filling with your Peace
Come, Lord Jesus, Come

Come God’s Only Son!
I look toward your skies
I try
Then sigh
Alone I cannot transform
This earth’s constant 
Storms

Only you can 
Change today
So, I will say
Take me,
Break me,
Leave me yours alone!

Never Alone

Never Alone

As the world rolls on
And we struggle forward
Living & dying
Wondering
Will He really come?

Of course, He will
And does
We are Never Alone
Christ lives
& continues to give
Every breath
Every heartbeat

Brings new life
New sight
To darkened eyes
Reddened as we cry
But still living to
Hope 

So let Him enfold
Your heart
In His arms
The warmest of
Embraces
As you must face
A lost world
So in His arms
You may taste
Eternity’s Love!

Never will I leave you! Never will I forsake you! Hebrews 13:5

For Teachers of Today

Teachers of Today!

Teachers of today,
Do not water down
His message of fire
Do not humanize
Eternity’s Glory!

Do not give me only 
Human words
What a man’s spirit tells
You to say
While it is my TODAY
Give me the Living Truth

Before we forsook
Our unique purposes
Before we rejected,
Cast off His loving hand
Return me to God’s
Original plan!

Do not succumb to pressures
My itching ears to please
Do not merely tease
With only half-truths
Give me the full & total story
Of all Christ’s glory
Even if my heart hurts 
As His words I hear

Only then will it be 
Perfectly crystalline clear
Only then will I from
The darkness be saved
Allowed in joy to enter 
Into the fiery power 
of His glorious New Day!

Clear Waters

It is getting into the drier part of the summer so the water in the river is down lower than usual, still just as pretty just more shallow. Here’s a poem and have a blessed day!

Clear Waters

Clear waters flow
Revealing for all to know
What lies beneath their surface
Every swimming creature, pebble 
Even every hard stone
To everyone is shown
Thru its moving, reflective face

Christ’s heart is the same
To us, He longs, desires
To reveal His Royal Name
His innermost being
But we must be willing
To accept the truth
Waiting to be seen

So take the time to look
Inside His written book
Those scriptures that reveal
His heart, about us how
He truly feels
Beneath the surface
of His Living Waters
Flows the glory of your own life!

Lush and Green

The part of the south I live in gets so green and lush, and I can never resist a beautiful day to take pictures. We finally got some relief from the heat where I live so I rode along the greenway as I often do. Don’t know the names of all the wildflowers, but they are still blooming although for a day or two because it has been so dry with no rain, they did droop just a little. This monster of a tree is just that, a monster. It is huge. I can’t tell if it is more than one tree growing close together or if it is old and just split at its base.

The river is lower from less rain and in some spots is only a few inches deep. In the shallow parts, the water is so clear you can see every stone and fish in it. It’s lovely! May God, the Creator of all this beauty, bless your day!
