But, it is Personal


But it is Personal!

Up close
Eyeball to eyeball
Face to face
Chest to chest
Breath to breath
Until the second
Of your physical death
How close your God is

From the moment
Of our conception
Until at the foot
Of His throne
Our final destination
God wants and is
Close
So very , very close
Do not harden your
Heart
Like a rebellious
Lost world
Spiritually almost
Comatose

God wants to be
Intimate with you
Every beat of your
Heart is personal
To Him
Desiring for
All eternity
Your soul
To win
So let Him in

Let God the Father
Christ the Son
God the Holy Spirit
Be Personal with you
Your heart
Your very soul
Recreate
Refresh and
Renew!!

One Small Act

One Small Act

You watch
As you walk
Your breath
You catch
As
Jesus turns
He smiles
Inviting you
To join
His group

Take a seat
Hold just
One small hand
Then another
Or only one more
With this
You may be allowed
A completely different land
to influence
With Jesus
You never know
What might be in store

By holding onto others
Newer sisters, brothers
In this small act
You may be allowed
To release,
And
To let go of
Yourself!

Flames!


Flames

Snatch me from the fire
God Jesus
Snatch me from the fire
Lifting higher,
Higher
Threatening to drown
My life
I scream
I cry
Even I writhe
Flames of
Pain, chaos
Broken world

Until
One gentle touch
One saving hand
Upon my shoulder
Falls
Lightly my name
I hear You call
Drawing me away
So,
Within your arms
May I stay
Given strength
Out of the fire to crawl
No longer my frail self
Dare they attempt to maul

Do not be afraid of those
Flames of pain
Follow Christ's gentle
Touch
Even though to endure
Flames can be
Extremely rough
But
You will be allowed
With only one soft word
One glance
To enter the eternity
The safety
Of Christ's embrace
And the joy of His
Paradise's dance!

Every Thing


Every Thing

You are there
You fill the skies
The very air
Every breath
Every step
I take

Every heartbeat
Rings, soars
With Your Name
Oh,
How I wish
Pray
For everyone
It could
Be the same!

You wish such joy
To give
To every soul's
Existence
Longing to fill
Expel
Drive out
Cease
Desist
Between us
Any more distance

So give God,
Christ
His Holy Spirit
Your Every Thing
And
He will do
The Very Same
For you!

One Small Fish

One Small Fish

Some days
I feel broken
Then I remember
Jesus our God
Broke one small fish
Of food
It was only a
Minute token
Tearing it
Into very, very
Many pieces

His purpose?
So that
He could meet
A greater need
That He
And the Father
Together could feed
Over five thousand
In only one day

So if you
Have to,
Allow yourself
To be broken
Even if many things
You stand to lose
That by Christ Jesus
You also may be used
To feed, to save
Hopefully,
Multitudes of others!!

His Eyes (for a Tuesday morning)



His Eyes

Christ
Coming
Seated on a throne
Crowned in glory
Fresh from
Another's new story
With fire in His eyes
So Holy
Burning intensity
In each glance
Perhaps today
Is your greatest
Chance

Desiring,
Burning the old
To dissolve
Turning to ash
For you
This is His resolve
All must be
Reborn
Renewed

Until you step through
Glorified
Purified
Only then can
You be allowed
To enter between
Heaven's gates
So today
Do not hesitate
Take the offered chance
To receive the fiery dance
Of the eternity living
In His eyes!
