Don't cry, Lord Jesus Why that tear? Does a sorrow to you Draw too near? I lay my cheek upon your hand As flowers around my head Do blend Let me love you Oh my God, my dear
You lift the crystal fluid Off your cheek Wait a moment Before you speak It is not for sorrow That my eyes do weep But for pure joy, beloved child That in eternity I now may you forever keep!
John 15:11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
Jesus Our Holy King You are The Only One The only thing To save us From ourselves From our own Inhumanity To each other
Our Prince of Peace Each and every day You struggle, You reach To fill our hearts With Yourself Your promises To fulfill, to keep
So let us Bow low On knees Before your throne May we receive Come to own The golden glow, The whispers of Not I that live But only Christ Jesus As my life to You May I mindfully choose Each and every day to give!!
Do you think you stand on terra firma? Think again A forever life down here Never were you meant to win Never will that happen But do not let your soul Be completely saddened Trust in Christ, His Word Do not follow the ways Of a world that pursues satan, that very evil dragon
One day, in God's timing When all of earth's clocks At last have stopped Their chiming With a great rush, From God's hand, With only one last touch On the face of this planet Will then man take his last stand
It will dissolve Hearing His voice His irrevocable call Earth will disappear Even the universe's stars No longer to anyone Will be clear Every molecule, every atom Every fraction of dust In nothing man has made No longer can we trust
So prepare yourself Get yourself ready In Christ alone Can your soul remain steady You will finally stand Before the golden throne Of a Holy Trinity Face to face with God's infinity To view at last His wondrous Glory And be allowed to read the first Few words of Your new life's eternal story!!
Come, Lord Jesus Come Heaven's Only Son From this moment My race, it has begun Only within You All love, peace, joy Emanates from
So lift me up May I never ever Become too worldly, Or too numb To Your beauty Please help me Transcend this earth, It's darkest scum
So take my meager crumbs And In your hands May I once more become Your treasure Your richest, ripest Of fruits, a plum And may I loudly proclaim Your truths, light In step with, in cadence with Living to the rhythm of The rest of, The best of All your Holy drums!!
I know that a lot of people do not like to hear about supernatural experiences, but they do exist. God can reveal Himself in any way He chooses. I have had a few experiences with such mostly in the form of a vision. They are always waking visions, and I do not know why He would give them to me as I am not a particularly important person down here. I was an orphan from birth so I was from the start one of the least of the least down here. I tell this only for the benefit of other people hoping it will help you somehow in your relationship with our Almighty Loving Creator Father.
Early one morning, I had just woken up, I was lying in bed looking out the window at the early morning sun and clouds in the sky. In my spirit I could start to see an angel standing on a platform of white clouds with steps leading up to it. I started to pay closer attention. The angel was muscular with tanned skin and shoulder length blondish hair. He was wearing only an almost knee length white, pleated skirt like cloth around his waist with golden sandals on. He held in his right hand a large, rounded spear taller than he was, maybe at least 7 feet tall. At first ,he was not looking at me then he slowly turned his head. He was frightening.
His eyes were a crystal clear blue, and the planes of his face were all moving with the colors of the rainbow constantly moving across his face but it was his expression that was so terrifying. He looked at me as if he could destroy me with less than one flick of one eyelash. His power seemed overwhelming. Then slowly, behind him a green mist started to form with an even stronger sense of power evolving behind him. It grew and grew until it was almost unbearable. I have never felt fear or terror like that in my life from the completely overwhelming sense of power in that greyish-green mist of clouds behind him. I feel like God was trying to give me a sense of His complete power over our earth and all of His universe. Again, it was totally terrifying. If He had not stopped the vision when He did, I’m not sure I could have enduring much longer.
Here on earth, especially in the USA, I feel we have lost a reverential fear of God. In our churches in America, it seems we have tried to turn God into a warm, fuzzy version of Santa Claus who will give us whatever we want whenever we want it. We have somehow lost respect for Him and just exactly how powerful He really is. We should never make God small, after all He holds the entire universe in His hands. We are so blessed He is as good and kind and loving and forgiving as He is. Praise You, Lord God, Praise You. I hope in telling this I can help you somehow in your faith walk and into a deeper relationship with our wonderful, gracious Creator, Lord, and Father!!
This, An unusual gate An unusual shape Formed Of two wooden beams Not entirely an Unbroken seam What's known as A Cross
On it people were hung By hands or wrists From its one horizontal rung Until No longer down here Did they exist
Left to die Against God's pale blue sky But For them it was not The end For them the journey Was it just about To begin
Their souls released To step through a gate Into eternal peace Or into a darker pain For them, Their existence would Never be the same
Christ took that dark Symbol of man's brutality And turned it into the new Reality Of God's goodness, Forgiveness Love Falling in heavenly showers Of Jesus Christ's blood
So won't you step through This heavenly gate Opened daily, Always freely to you But remember, Only by your own faith As your Creator's joy-filled Heart awaits Do its portals swing wide To reveal His Glorious Paradise inside!!
