The Loudest Shout!
The loudest shout ever heard
Around the world
In desperate need of a cure
For its illness
A bloodied, beaten Savior
On a cross
Trying to restore God’s favor
To His humanity so lost
It was God’s shout
Of His intense wrath
Against our sin was it about
to gather us back
from down a forbidden path
of our indolent selfishness
So listen to that shout
From a cross now heard
Everywhere
It was His final proof
To deface all doubts
Meant to instill a deeper faith
More holy, more devout
In His loving grace
Shown deeply through the
Beautiful yet human face
Of His Precious Only Child!
So,
Do not deny it
By not listening
Of our spirits
We need a quickening
A re-positioning
To stand up
& listen
& no longer condone
The darkness ofOur own restless sin
True Beauty?
All we have of any beauty so true,
Dear God,
Is always & only the great I AM
Of You
All of us, so corrupted
Our own lives we keep interrupting
With sin so calloused
Our wandering selfishness
Our greatest test
As much as we can
We need to let go
Swim back into the natural flow
Of Yourself, Your Love
Overwhelming comes Your Glow
Like the greatest of floods
Showing in the things you’ve made
In this even nature has much to say
Froom sparkling stars in the sky
To the translucent ethereal
Wings of a fluttering butterfly
The great beauty of your heart
Before you even attempted a world to start
Was what goaded you forward
Until at last we stood before you
Your shining, newly-born human child
A whole universe awash with your love
Flying, soaring thru heavenly gates above
Carried down on gentlest wings of doves
To the crusty hardened dust of this earth
Until upon it at last
Fell the blood of Your Only Son
Forever bringing to us a cherished new birth!
The Angel in the Corner
Angel in the corner
Shouting your name
Speaks not a word
Yet carries your cure
For an evil’s painful strife
Bearing the knowledge
For all life
Warrior forever
Following Your orders
Lord Jesus
Believers to gather
Back home
Sworn allegiance to You
Unlimited power
Bearing The Only Name
That truly matters
Before a dark enemy
Will neither run nor scatter
Symbol of Your
Unquenchable power
In every second, every hour
Thank you Lord Jesus
For sending them to us
In You only forever
May we trust
Rejoicing again & again
May we learn from them
You salvation to carry,
To win
Completely!!
Hunger
That hunger
Pushing, driving
Telling me
Something is wrong
So strong,
No matter how much
Of the world I ingest
Still somehow lingers
Distrust
Still I need,
Long for
At times I know now what
So, I continue
To eat from the world
Each of every day’s
Beginning & end
Searching, taking in
Until I say no more
I will buy no longer
From your unlimited store
Of meaningless things
Then I stand, still
And realize
That you lie
This world will
Never completely
Satisfy
Reach up
Search for God’s face
His unending grace
Only that love will
Fill up, supply
Those inner recesses
Now threatening to die
From a world’s wearying
Provision
Oh, Lord,
Help me to make
A better decision!
Quietly Soft but Deadly
It may start,
(for most it does)
Quietly & softly
In the heart
Deception
Seeking reception
Into your innermost recesses
This will be your greatest test
Large numbers
Consciences so burned
They will not recognize
So it will quickly seize
Its chance to take hold
satan will try to sneak in
a foothold he lusts to win
Evil hoping to replace
The least little taste
Of Christ’s lovely perfection
The darkness says
Christ does not exist
But the strongest weapon yet
In its arsenal
To persuade you satan
Does not exist
This you must do
Go to any lengths
Use all your own
& lean on the always there
Of Christ’s strength!!

A Daughter, A Son
We are his daughters, his sons
If your Father were under attack
Would you just turn tail
And run?
In my heart, I hope not
When they deny His Name
They abuse His Spirit
Of
Perfect Love, Joy, Peace
Patience, Goodness, Kindness
To name a few
But it is up to all of us
To me and you
An evil, destructive satan
Wants to destroy all of us
And watching the world today
He does it without much effort
Or a fuss
God’s disciples we are meant
To be
So our Father’s love & forgiveness
Every eternal soul here may see
It truly is a battle for our
Hearts & minds
So step up,
Join the front lines
Even pain-filled at times
As it might be
Because,
Without us in the war
The enemy has already won!
