The City
A Wondrous City
This Holy Jerusalem
Containing at one time
A temple built for only
HIM
His presence to visit
Between golden cherubim’s wings
He listened
While choirs on its steps
To Him did sing
His Name
His Power
His Fame
To it one day
This Only God
Will return
After all evil
Is vanquished
Destroyed
In one heartbeat,
Burned
So we raise holy hands
As we fall to our knees
In obedience’s path
Seeking only to please
(to be transformed
your earth & us)
No longer to rebel in ignorance
Against your beauty
To rise to Your higher calling,
That greater, purer duty
And follow Your Forever Call
Watching, waiting
As once again your raise
Her holy walls
Regrow, renew
Re-begin
This Holy Jerusalem!
A Love Song:
(A Part Of)
It is like I was created to be
Always a part of Your group
Your Holy Trinity
A smaller part
As I bend down
Worship on my knees
It is Your gift to be like you
Should this not
My worldly values askew?
A world so out of balance
Literally out of its mind
Rolling, tumbling on
A very, very thin line
Not even those lost rebellious angels
Did you dare to die for
Only over us Your Spirit’s healing
You wished to pour
To enable re-birth
Through all the light
& darkness of this universe’s
Massive girth
In truth, nothing and no one else
Did you create to
Reflect the goodness of
Yourself but us
Thank you, Dear Lord
In You only may
I completely live & trust!
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
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!!

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
Itching Ears
Itching ears,
Itching ears
Fill them with flea powder
Itching ears
Itching ears
For they only deny His power
They do not wish
To hear the truth
Always and only
Are they in pursuit
Of
The self
Themselves, myself
Always and only me
Tell me not the truth
Or I fear my ears will bleed
Gently soothe me
Caress my foolish soul
Lie to me,
My pride and vanity cajole
For I fear you know
This Christianity a book
Speaks of
Would not fit me
Hand in glove
It causes pain
Might even lead
Me to an early grave
So,
Silence your truth
I want no more proof
Of
Creation’s Almighty
Glorious King!
