Into The Out

Into the Out

Why do we try
To hold within
What was meant 
to be so out

Buildings were never 
Meant to contain
Words powerful
Enough to sustain
An entire planet

Do we really believe
A church's walls
Are the only place 
A person's soul 
Can feel the call
Of Christ

It can happen 
on the streets
It can happen
Where we eat
Sometimes,
Even as we sleep

So, God's church
Get out do That work 
Heaven's great loss
Brought about on a cross
For us also to sacrifice
Others to save
Bring to them a better way
For our whole planet
See a completely new day!!

Inside

Inside

Wearing only human flesh
Inside heavens gates 
I am your guest 
Invited in only thru
The Purest blood
With it You wish only
Each heart to flood

But everyone must
Decide for themselves
If to obey the beckoning call
To reverse our original, horrific fall
Or

To stand outside those shining gates
Left Alone 
In the dark
With a howling beast
Watching those inside
Join in Your royal feast
Ah. . . . Your light's grace, mercy & love!!

A’stirring!

A‘stirring

A'stirring,
To be shaken
Awakened
Out of a reverie
So to forever be
Changed
God can do this
Whenever He
Chooses
We just have to
Let Him use us

We, His family,
His church,
Have to be willing
To be stirred
To actually see, taste,
Experience Christ's cure
For our lost brokenness
He's forever capable of it
Just be reassured!

So let's take that fresh start
Give Him all of our hearts
So He can re-create, 
Once again Himself impart
To a church, His lost world 
That needs a'stirring!!

satan laughs

satan laughs

satan laughs 
In the face
Of a church asleep
As the world burns 
Around it
So Rise Up
Get on your feet
Jesus demands to
See it

Evil out of control
Searches
Openly strolls
In our homes
Our children's schools
So do not let it win
Today we must overrule
Its darkened evil
As we stand to defend
Our Lord's voice

So wake up dear church
Join the battle
For the most innocent lives
On this face of this earth
As Jesus returns to
Re-create, to completely re-birth
His perfected new kingdom!

Action’s Name

Action’s Name

Would we not say 
As it is so much
In the times of our
Today
In such splendid ways
That faith without 
Works is dead
In almost all churches
These holy words are 
Repeatedly said

So we know to take action 
That worship in a building 
Is after all but only a fraction
Of what God calls us to
So in this oh so blessed country
We feed the hungry
House the homeless
Try to create a land of 
Increasing social justice

But on all of our spiritual lists
There is something definitely amiss
One major point we have missed
Courage to stand up
Out loud to say the name of Jesus
Let people know He is the reason
Behind any of our good deeds

To confront evil
Be courageous 
The duty of each & every believer
To call a sin a sin
Only in this way can we 
Ever hope to win 
More souls

So do not fear
To fight alongside
God's angelic forces
(To your life it will bring no remorse)
So after running your life's course
You may hear
From the lips
Of a Savoir so dear
‘Well done My good & faithful servant’!!

I’m Sorry

I’m Sorry

I'm sorry for what
We did to you
Holy Christ
But still we do it
Somehow in our crazy
Insane rush to sin
We crucify you over &
Over again

We ignore you
Rejecting that inner plea
To adore you
From that ignorant stance
Within only one
Darkened evil glance
We completely deny
You exist
Becoming what
Is called atheist

Oh, Dearest Son of God
When will we banish
For good such thoughts!
One day you've promised
To return
To gather to yourself
Those who've spurned
A devil's temptation 
To deny your royalty
Through their attempts 
To express their loyalty
As back into your arms
And heart eternally
will they all be
Gathered most joyfully!
