The Tear

The Tear

Don't cry, Lord Jesus
Why that tear?
Does a sorrow to you 
Draw too near?
I lay my cheek upon your hand
As flowers around my head
Do blend
Let me love you 
Oh my God, my dear

You lift the crystal fluid
Off your cheek
Wait a moment 
Before you speak
It is not for sorrow 
That my eyes do weep
But for pure joy, beloved child
That in eternity I now
May you forever keep!

John 15:11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

H3brews 12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Feeling Blue?

Saw these pretty blue wildflowers on my early morning bike ride along our greenway system which runs along the river. Don’t know what kind they are but enjoyed them anyway. May you have a blessed day and Praise God for His goodness, grace, mercy, compassion and forgiveness!


Feeling Blue?

Life feeling down, ever so blue?
So do the only really 
smart thing to do
Turn to that Son
Of your best life
The only source
Of course, of course

On a cross hung
Just to put a destructive
satan on the run
Our eternal souls to save
So we within infinity's gates
No longer will ever have
Even one more bluest of days!

Thank You

Thank You!

Thank you 
For wanting the
Destitute and the Desperate
From the homeless beggers
And hungry orphans on the streets
And trafficed children 
Lying at their rapist's feet
From the Unloved child
In the womb
About to be aborted
In a cold, hard, sterile room
All of these Lord Jesus
You love, want passionately
And died for
Shouldn't we also?

No One

No One

There is no one,
No not one
On the face of this green planet
Who does not need 
The One and only Son

A living, breathing
Beyond words All-powerful
Beautiful, Lord, Master,
The only GOD
Ready at any time
Us inside to displace
(Notice I did not say erase)

He will fill you with Himself
So you may have a forever life
Not to end up so bereft
Not following a broken world
Spiraling toward its own
Darker death

So let Christ in
For you He only wants to win
His Eternity's Paradise
It is an honor, privilege
To carry out 
Into His creation
Of His love a small slice 

Making His world
A place more peaceful
So much calmer
For you, this will be
At all no bother

Making yourself able to say
Not I that lives but Christ
Helping others give to themselves
A richer world full of
Much, much better days!
