The Tear


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.

Also, Hebrews 12:2

The King


The King

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!!

Praise You
Lord Jesus
Praise You!!

To Dissolve

To Dissolve

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!!

God’s Power

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!!

The GATE


The Gate

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!!
