YOU Are
You are the flame
Within the candle’s light
You are the fire
Within its heat
The wind inside each
Taken breath
The song that causes
My small heart to beat
Without YOU,
I would not,
Could not
Begin to exist
Your love alone helps me
Each of this dark world’s lusts
To resist
Praise you,
Thank you
YAHWEH,
God,
Father,
For helping me along
Each of life’s most treacherous
Precarious turns & twists!!
Half a Chance
Alone
In the cold
Trembling, shaken
A thick darkness enfolds
My heart
Only an unknown terror awaits
For each this is
Our fate
Until You came to fulfill
A plan known only by a few
Before any of creation
Designed by a Father, Spirit
And also You
To save and rebirth
All of your humanity
Living on this green earth
You came to save
Our only chance
Nay,
May I say
We had not half
A chance
Until you came to dance
Among the living dead
So thank you
Holy Christ
For offering yourself
In us you wished to see
Your face
So my tombstone could read
This one He saved
In vain He did not bleed!
Hope everyone has a happy Fourth of July and stay safe! Praise You Lord Jesus!
Gut Me
Gut me
Tear me
Shred me
Shatter me
Open me up
Clean me out
Leave nothing of the old
So my same old story
No longer is allowed
To be told
Purge my inner abscess
Of all the rotten pus
Even though its stench
I may most firmly clutch
Give me, Lord Jesus,
Your purity
Your holiness transform
me
All of this above
I seek with unabashed
sincerity

One Cross
That cross upon a hill
Reminds us in lonely words
Still
Of a dying sacrifice
Every day while here
He walked, talked, cried
Then spread out his arms
On a piece of hard tree
To die
For us to justify
Only that one cross,
Although there were
Many others,
Turned us into closer
Sisters, brothers
So, listen to the words
It still whispers
Wreathed in a blood so red
Allow its words within
To ring out,
Out loud to be said
Found spoken on that tree
Some of the most important words
Ever intended for
Everyone’s life
They will surely suffice
Of,
A loving Christ’s purest
& most noble sacrifice!
