Follow me
And with 
Those 2 words only
Christ turns his back
To start leading
So I sigh
It is my choice only
Whether to
Accept this task

Again I sigh
Take a deep shaky breath
Then 
I put one foot in
Front of the other
Look ahead
Toward Him
Where He is leading
Other sisters 
Other brothers

Do I dare
Does he even care?
Of course he does
He glances back
Toward my way
I've made a decision
Here stuck 
In this spot
I no longer
Wish to stay

He has my heart

The course will be 
Dangerous
This world for sure
I will
Not please
It may even knock me
To my knees
But in his book
It declares 
It will be worth it
For 
After all,
He, His Father, His Spirit
They are the only ones
Who are beautifully
Gloriously perfect!!!

Perfect love, joy, peace
Found only in
His footsteps
Only in His Spirit's realm
May we perfectly dwell
So with one last kiss
I will wish this world well
Turn my back on its 
Brightest allures
And accept 
From my Master's 
Own nail scarred hands
For all my darkest sins
His wonderful, brightest
Cures!!!

The Unknowing


The Unknowing

Unfeeling
Unseeing
Wandering
On the surface
Of an earth's spinning ball
Not knowing at all
That they are a spirit
Immortal
Capable of heeding
Their Holy Father's
Loving call

Unknowing,
They are like beasts of the field
Moving with heads bowed down
Seeing sensing only
A dirty, sin-stained ground
Unaware
That they are not just
Physical
But
Spiritual
Meant to spend eternity
On a different level

Of all things existing
In this vast, stunning universe
Only have we, us humans,
Been given a rare gift
Created in God's image
If only from the world's dirt
Our soul's eyes we would just lift
Made by You, for You 
Through You
Lord God
Adoni
The Almighty, 
El Shaddai!

So become knowing
Looking up
Toward heaven's
Purest skies
To hear your
Heavenly Father's
Imploring, sincere cries
Before it's too late
To turn away from
Your dulled senses
And of Him, 
His Son
His Spirit
Become totally, purely
Gloriously Aware!

Life or Death


Life or Death

This world is lost
I wish it were
Another way
That such words
No one could ever say

But
Unfortunately
It's true
For us
Me and you
For in a Book
Named Jude
Words are written
'Hating even the 
Clothing stained
By corrupted flesh'

Saved only by a Savior's
Purest blood
Through Heaven's gates
Now it roars
A cleansing flood
Poured out 
From God's love
Encircling our heads
Shining above

So do not 
Turn the back
Or you will feel
The terrifying lack
Of being allowed
To be a kinsman
Of the living Christ
For only He can 
Give God's grace
His glowing life
And
Save you from 
Eternal destruction

Take A Look


Take A Look

Do you want me to 
Lie to you
Give you only a
Half-truth
That I will not do
So, 
Into God's book 
Take a deeper look

Live by His guide
Lines
We will never reach
Perfection 
A sin body I
Still carry
I can only struggle in Christ's 
Direction

Please, into His words
Take a deeper dive
As they call it
For a closer
Search like that
Well, 
Christ will never stall it

Therefore,
Do not yourself hurt
Study His Bible
Memorize its words
And learn of Our Creator's
Incomparable Glory
His Overwhelming 
WORTH!!!

His Words!


His Words!

I may have nothing left
But only whispered prayers
Solitary
Receiving glancing stares
Still somehow
I move forward

Tediously,
One foot in front
Of the other
I feel the words
Behind my back
As they gather
Outloud and/or
In the silence

Satan
Demons
Their cloud forms
But,
Words can crush
A soul,
You know

Yet
Another cloud
Rolls down
From above
Made only of 
Pure light
Cleared for
Human sight
If you desire
To see

I clap my hands
In glee
In joy run forth
Christ steps
Out
To walk His
Usual course

With only one smile
Raises his hands
Words from between
His fingers fall
To water all
Earth’s dry, parched
Corrupted lands
Bringing New Life!

So follow His
Brightened,
Light-filled words
Glistening on
The path ahead
To find your
Holy God
And you will
Have done your duty
Fulfilled your sacred job!!

Onto The Streets


Onto The Street


He went out
onto the streets
For it was always His
Original Intention
The lost to save and to seek

Sure, in temple courts
He did indeed also teach
But let it be known
That Christ also
Walked the streets
Where the lost, the blind,
The lame
Were never beyond his reach

So take Him out there
For church walls cannot
Will not
Were never meant to contain,
Our King of Glory
It's always the same story
Remember,
Man-made walls were
Never made His words
To imprison
Death could not stop
His Strength, Love or Grace
For Jesus is alive
His has eternally arisen!!!
