Rest That physical pump Inside my chest Someday will stop As my fragile shell Receives its eternal rest In peace I pray I will be allowed to go If while on earth That is what I tried to sow Enter God's rest You children of the King Rise up in joy On the back of His great eagle's wings Rise in spiritual prosperity As you prance, dance forever In God's joyfilled gaiety
My Shell! This Physical shell It's tight Restricts, constrains Squeezes So stiff it creaks Knocks me almost to my knees At times full of disease Mild or strong Impairing a song Meant for us to sing About earth's risen King To call Jesus by name That was always Of Eternity, its goal, it's aim Oh, this Physical shell Only time will tell When I will be released From the intense heat Of its determined grip Ah, that will be a Paradise most complete!
Tears Many tears Upon the earth do fall Many voices raise Laments, they call God hears each word Each whispered thought Within His own heart’s walls Are they forever caught Does He do the same For all our tears As they release All our pain, our fears Does He gather Each tear as it drops Into His loving hands Do they make their final stop? Does He perhaps return All tears back to His earth From whence they came So they new life may seek to reclaim To water the plants For our souls do the same If so, it only goes to remarkably show That even tears can make things grow!!
For Too Long For too long God’s family His church Has sat silent On too many subjects Is this not a form of neglect? All those eyes every day You will look into Faces you will peruse Each and every one Is the face of a someone Ending up In one of only two places Do we not care As we return their stares If it’s an eternal Paradise Or a hell brought about Within some demon’s sick device We are meant to be His hands, his feet So get out there Make known his fame Carry his name And help save Christ’s world This glowing, rotating Large green pearl So all may see his light And a Holy Spirit’s flame re-ignite!
Faith My faith is all I have To carry me To the other side Before I leave Before I die Large, monstrous That great gift Given so we may sift Thru all life’s pains Knowing, at times, It will cause major rifts Between us But even God Himself said As He walked, talked And eventually bled I come not to bring peace But a sword A man’s enemies Will be his own family So do not be discouraged If in your own life These words come true For I have seen & known Never will He leave you Never will He forsake you God forever His promises will keep Even as you slumber Even as you sleep!
To Trim God does not waste words Nor does He mince them Away with the useless fat Of words will He always trim Saying what He means For He is unable to lie Upon His words you may depend Or someday may be required to die When He says don’t Do something He means it So forever leave it That thing & don’t do it! His words are there To bless you Although at times They will most certainly Test you But still in that deepest part Your innermost heart Allow them to caress you!
