Death

Death

Death
A word we
Have all
Come to fear
For loved ones it
Can most certainly
bring forth their tears

But
It was conquered
Praise You,
Lord God
Lord Jesus
For setting up
Your plan
To save the only
One in your image
Created
Your man!

Saved by
The Prince of Peace
On an agonizing cross
He suffered, died
As His friends, mother
They saw and all did weep
But did it only for us all
Our eternal souls
To keep

So today while you
Still have the chance
Remember Christ’s Holy Glory
The agony He endured
Only to insure
That you too could step
Out of satan’s pit of hell
Emptied out of your own
Grave
Now it’s your time to turn
And of his death,
Resurrection others to tell
So they also may rejoice
With one rising crescendo’s
Voice
To praise God the Father for
The Son’s rise
On that ancient but
Most Glorious Easter morning!!

Softly

Softly

Soft and subtle
Until it isn’t
Then it rears its
Ugly head
To bite you
Swallow you
Whole
Wishing to make you
Only dead

satan’s darkness
Works like that
Starting with only angry
Complaints
Working undercover
Until it completely removes
All restraints
To fully destroy you

So they did with Christ
At first,
Only anger’s hatred
Until the evil within man
Fully exploded
Trying to destroy
Someone most sacred
God Himself!

At His last supper
On this green planet
He urged his true followers
Of many things
To love each other,
Honor His blood and body
With powerful words
With Holy truths
His words did ring

Until at last
Men with clubs
Came to gather Him
To his accusers
In only heartbeats
They would soon be His
Physical abusers
Of all these occurrences
Christ was already knowledgeable
Knowing His Father’s will was
Eternally indomitable
Walked into their death trap
And did it always and only
To save all of us, me
And of course,
You!!

Holy Week #2 – His Triumph!!

His Triumph!

Triumphal entry
Fit for,
Worthy of only a King
Words of
HOSANNA!
Forever thru
All the ages
Will they, must they ring

Palms before your feet
Were laid in praise
From among the crowd,
Children's voices were raised
And if they had not
Well,
Then even the rocks
Could not have been stopped
From singing Your Glory!

So thank You, Lord Jesus
For stepping into
Our violent, cruel history
With each step
Each word
Each drop of blood
You declared your victory
And thankfully, blissfully
The world will never
Be the same again!!!

Holy Week!!


This Holy Week!!!!

This Holy Week
Allow all on this world
To Seek
Only Your Face
As each step You took
Upon this dust
Was meant to completely
Erase
Every single, last trace
For each and every soul
Of any or all
Of their deepest disgrace

As palms were laid at Your feet
You came riding always and only
To seek
Our completed well-being
Which as You hung from the
Nails
Was all before Your face
You chose to be seeing
As the skies darkened
The earth shook
Rocks split
As actually You could have
Within your temporary flesh’s life
Never ever did You just simply the saving
Choose To Quit!!

The Tear(ai artwork)

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!!
