Martyr?


Martyr?

Are you really
Willing to die?
Let go of it all?
For an illusion?
Something I cannot
See?
Something I
Cannot touch?

But you say it
Is the truth
This is indeed
Most acute!
Is this how
Your mind
You wish to soothe?

An unseen God
A Holy Savior
A spiritual level to life?
To save us from what?
I will admit
There is much chaos
Afoot
Everywhere much cruelty
Pain suffering
To find all of that
No one would really
Be at all hard put!

Maybe you are right
Perhaps I should be more
Contrite
Learn to let go
So I too may know
The Spirit's burning fire,
Joy, the Privilege
To pick up my cross
And follow Him
His paradise to win
To lose myself
And for the living Christ
Become a martyr!!

Warmth

Jesus’s powerful presence and love can fill your heart and spirit like nothing or anyone else can. Nothing else on our earth can satisfy your deep spiritual, emotional needs like He can, and He wants to do that eternally and forever. Praise God!


Warmth

Warmth fills the air
Pure gold
A white clad throng
They part
I stare

You come
Walking
through the middle
No one makes a sound
Toward me
You extend a hand
You smile

Your radiance,
Dear Christ,
Warms me
To my bones
And
Within Your smile's
Warmth
Lies my forever home!

Then My Soul

We are all immortal, living spirits. Created in the image of God, we will never cease to exist, and the good thing about life is that He gives you the freedom to choose where you will spend eternity!


Then My Soul

Then my soul
Raised her hands
Unbound by earth
Unlocked from land

Blew out her wings
Called by Your Spirit's
Songs
From heaven's hope
They rise, they spring

And sailed away
From off this
Darkened ground
Following
Your Sweet Voice's sound
To live forever within
Christ’s Glory!!

Of His Power

Of His Power!!

A vision was given
An impression received
Beautiful yet frightening
So clearly seen
Yet sometimes even I find it
Hard to believe

That You would honor me
With this vision
Of Your holy one
This angelic messenger
Impressed was I
Of that you can be sure

In his great power
& in silence he stood
On a cloud so white
In his full magnificent glory
And Your Most Holy Might

Beautiful,
Over his skin’s surface dwelling
Rainbow’s colors changing, moving
Of Your spirit’s beauty was it telling

His eyes full of so fierce a light
It gave my heartbeat a moment’s fright
Compelling, yet I yearned to turn away
Yet held was I & stayed

With one wink
Destroyed could he have me
Ferocious in his glory
Showing only the story
The completeness of
Your Glory’s overwhelming power

Although sometimes I think
Does it take a slightest toll
Upon the stronghold of my soul
These dreams, these visions
Yet I beg please, please do not scold
Because I have from the very start
In telling of had only best intentions
For your soul’s peace of heart

A New Mercy Seat

A New Mercy Seat

A new covenant
A new mercy seat
To make us more whole
Ever more complete
With arms outstretched
This resurrected Christ
Promises us new life

Long, long ago
During a desert journey
So arduous
Our Creator/God
Reached down
With Holy Hands
So glorious
To lift us up
Toward Himself

Creating a Golden
Ark of His Covenant
Between cherubim wings
He placed a Mercy Seat
Atop it
It would be for His people
Of His Love, GLORY,
Presence
A strong deposit

But with Today's
Newest covenant
God's Presence
Comes alive
A Living
Resurrected Christ,
His new Mercy Seat,
To recreate in us
A new heart, new mind,
A completely transformed
Resurrected life!!

To Fly






To Fly

I want to be
Earthly poor
But
Then…
I want to be
Heavenly rich
But
Then…
Happened that one
Simple glitch
We made that
One simple switch
By satan's evil were
We bewitched

Exchanged
The truth
For
The lie
Causing so many
Hearts to cry
In pain so
Many to die
When will we
Let go
And
Truly learn
How to fly?

Grow true wings
In angel choruses
Learn to sing
Return back home
To our One
Holy King
Christ Jesus awaits
Violently
Throws open
Heaven's Gates

So
With new wings
As bird's at night
Return to roost
May we return
To God's truths
And
At last
From all
Earthly pains
Be eternally
Loosed!
