Before

Before


Before all time and space
There was a glorious face
Full of only grace
Love for all He surveyed
Having always the last say
Over everything

But,
His goodness, beauty 
So overwhelming
So always flowing
Over and upward welling
He wished to share it
With others

So the Three got together
Made planets spin
Stars shine
But decided they had rather
Make some someones

A planetary home was made
The darkest of night 
Became a day
Animals, all creatures 
Brought into His sight
Then
His allowed His man to stand upright

He felt such joy
In this glorious child
He had truly let
His imagination run wild
Crowned us at last
With one glorious smile!

Shout for joy
All the earth
At the glory 
Of this first birth
But never fear,
He will remove
For a second time all tears

As once again,
The battle against 
Darkness He will win
Return us,
Back home
If we choose
Remember God will
Never ever lose!!

Love’s Sword

Love’s Sword

Love’s sword flashes left
& right
Truly a most intimidating sight
In some hearts causes joy
In others only strikes pure terror

But, 
When it’s through
For each & the every of us,
The me and you
Will it shine so crystal clear
Those who have loved and
Held His Christ so very dear!

Easter #2

Easter II

Easter is a time
To remind
Of this earth’s re-birth
A removal of 
Our own sin’s curse

It was an absolute win
Of Jesus the living Christ
As He gave us a chance
At a totally new life
A REBIRTH of His Paradise

As He stepped out
Of a darkened tomb
He was giving us a chance
To come out of 
That darkened womb
Of our own evil rebellion

Easter is as in 
His Holy Book
A telling of that story
Wherein is revealed
God’s greatest glory
His Mercy, Grace & 
Forgiveness

His love for us so great
He was willing to put at stake
His own SON’S LIFE
The greatest sacrifice

So on that history-shattering day
We were eternally saved
Out of His Greatest Love
From forever being thrown
Into infinity’s blackest abyss

The Trust

The Trust

Cancer 2 times has
Called my name
Life for me does 
Not feel just the same

My time down here
Grows more limited
It may not even much
Longer be extended

BUT
What awaits for me
Is held within a Trust
In greater hands than mine
Transcending the restrictive
Limits of our sense of time

From this Trust
In my daily borrows 
Therein lies Christ’s strength
To overcome all pain & sorrows
Never was I meant to live
In cruel poverty
But to receive the resources
In His Kingship’s sovereignty!

Praise You, Lord Jesus!

Although the use of 
This Trust
May come with a few
Conditions or regulations
Never meant to be shunned
Were His love’s guidelines

To enjoy the pleasures 
That await
As you are allowed to enter
Between Heaven’s 
Welcoming gates
With each step’s forward thrust
Open wide your arms to receive
The lavish riches of this,
His Glorious Trust!

Heaven

Heaven

Heaven is not just
A place
Heaven can only 
Be found
Within a face 
Radiating brighter
Than any brilliant star
Shining from afar
More precious 
Than any glistening stone
Do not place your joy
Or trust in that alone

Wiser than any 
Human sage
He left a throne of glory
To enter a dirty, darkened
Earthly stage

Walked with us
Ate our food
Literally 
Wore our shoes

So do not let 
Heaven be merely 
Some idyllic place
For you
For it is only found
On holy ground
Standing before
A golden throne
Manifested, seen,
Experienced in
Jesus of Nazareth Alone!!
