Broken
Broken politics
Symptoms of a broken culture
With too many broken morals
Or lack thereof
A world so sick
It killed its own Creator
Hung Him on a dead, dry stick
Dying in
Our place
As is found in a
Holy, Holy, Holy Bible
Words do tell of
So it is
Words do explain
Therefore, it is
Guidelines by which to live
Hope, love, joy, peace
It seeks to give
So at last
To end, to mend
The brokenness
Hope you enjoy the video. It can also be found on my youtube channel at https://youtu.be/u8ig-lXs9yw
Resurrection
Demon's danced in glee
At the feet of the man
Dying upon a bitter tree
Storm clouds gathered
Sun darkened
Ground was shaken
Rocks split, tombs opened
Dead bodies walked, renewed
Hoping to gain even a brief view
As Christ breathed His last
Or did He?
Because . . .
A few days later
Dear friends walked upon
A garden's sod
To perfume a dead man's body
Instead . . .
Were given a glimpse
Of their risen God
By His gentle voice
Once more were they met
As from a now empty tomb
He had just stepped
They rejoiced, rejoiced
Again were allowed
To hear their dear Savior's voice
Such joy in heaven
Could not be contained
For at even the slightest mention
Of His Holy Royal Name
All of His powerful angels shout
HALLELUYAH! HALLELUYAH!
Prayer
How do you
Not want to pray
Every single day
Not have something
To say
To the One who made you
Don't you secretly hope
Dream, desire, wish
To see something higher
Much better than this
Ugly, mass of confusion
The abuse?
Such great physical beauty
All around us
Literally trying to
Pound into us
The magnificence
Of its Creator
He uses all living things
As His great theatre
So lean into His Spirit
In Eternity will you live
Never to regret it
So pray now,
Pray hard
Empty out your heart
For you
It will create
The beginning
To your soul's
Blessed, new & fresh start!
Return
Gathering,
A great darkness
A world clothed in chaos
Spinning to regress
Going backwards
Because
It does spurn
A Savior's love
& suffering
A once bright nation
Founded upon
Its Christ's sacrifice
Now once, twice,
Perhaps even thrice
Rejects His name
More & more
From its shore to shore
Oh, return to us
Please once more!
We can do better
Help us to cling to
Each word,
Each letter
Within Your precious book
For we know
It is within our hands
Our choice
To reject
Or
To take our stand
Upon Your words
Realizing at last
It is only
Your strength
Your power
Lord Jesus
That holds together
Undergirds
Everything
So, forgive us we pray
May we never again stray
So far away as we seem
To have done in this
Current time, this day
