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!!!

Idols!

Idols

Idols, Idols
Everywhere
I look,
I stare
Turning my head
I can see
Enticing, me
To Believe
In their goodness
What a mess!

You have yours
I have mine
They’re hard to let go
Hard to unwind
Most of the flesh
To understand
Not such a great test
Power, Money
Material Possessions
Sex
At time, they can lead
To extremes of regret

In love with ourselves
We run, we fume, we struggle
At times, in singles
Or often in doubles
We collect, we hoard
Then grasp
We should feel insecure
Nothing down here really
Lasts

Reach for the eternal,
A Holy Immortal God
Please, oh please
In Him learn to trust
He desires to love us!
His blessings
They can be known
So, don’t stand out in the
Dark, all alone
Reach for wisdom
And take yourself off
The idol’s throne!!

He Gave Up!

He Gave Up!

Christ did not come

To create a feel good social club

A country club atmosphere

Instead

So our black, sin-smeared

Record for all eternity

He could unequivocally clear

A glorious throne of infinity

He gave up

He came to a barn

A humble stable

Full of hay and animal slobber

Dirty, wet

So no mistaken ideas

Of wealth, lust for money

Would we mistakenly harbor

For this a light filled throne

He gave up

He came to a cross full of

Pain, agonizing torture

So with His death

A broken relationship

Between man and the Father

He could nurture

To give us, you, a Holy,

Forgiven future

For this, through ripped

And torn flesh,

His own blood

Christ gave up!

But, it is Personal


But it is Personal!

Up close
Eyeball to eyeball
Face to face
Chest to chest
Breath to breath
Until the second
Of your physical death
How close your God is

From the moment
Of our conception
Until at the foot
Of His throne
Our final destination
God wants and is
Close
So very , very close
Do not harden your
Heart
Like a rebellious
Lost world
Spiritually almost
Comatose

God wants to be
Intimate with you
Every beat of your
Heart is personal
To Him
Desiring for
All eternity
Your soul
To win
So let Him in

Let God the Father
Christ the Son
God the Holy Spirit
Be Personal with you
Your heart
Your very soul
Recreate
Refresh and
Renew!!
