The Reach

The Reach

You had to reach down
So very, very low
Because
At times life to us can deliver
Such exceedingly cruel blows
AH,
But the joy at seeing your face
Come to save(as always)
I reach up for
Your hands full of
Your overflowing grace!

So hold your breath
Get ready
Christ remains always steady
Dependable, ALMIGHTY
Wait and you will see
Your Refuge, our Rock
Our Creator LORD
He will enable all believers
In Him once again to soar
Above this world's chaos
Pain, suffering and loss
Even though it may come
For you at a great cost

But you can rely upon HIM
To eternally win
Our Immortal souls,
Us in His forever love to keep
As in His Paradise
We will all
Dance joyfully
In the Light-filled Glory
At His Feet!!

Praise You
Lord Jesus
Praise You!!!

Drawn

Irresistibly drawn
To this light
Stronger and stronger
To this urge I fear
I no longer
Feel a stranger

Increasing almost
Every day
Sometimes in
More than one way
Like a moth to the flame
Hearing You speak my name
I beat my frail wings
Against the thin veil
Of this flesh
Separating for now
You and I
Ah at times can
Life be quite the test!

Yet today I can just be still
At the command of my God's will
And enter into His desired rest
Which at times I must confess
For me is hardly ever easy
So for now
I will warm my wings
As I listen heaven still sings
Of the warmth, glory in the light
Cascading from Your
Wondrous love & might!

The Bond!

The Bond!

My job,
To worship
PRAISE
Every day
Every way

For your beauty,
Goodness
Love
To give my worship
Creates the bond
Of my love for you

This cord
This give,
Receive
Creates the path
Through which,
God, You supply
My life's needs
Ah, my praise,
My worship
That Immortal bond!

Gushing!

Radiating your goodness
Wonderfulness, magnificence
Made us to share in
Your youness
Through You
For you
Alive only at your request
This rare unique gift
Gives me joy

All your beauty
Shining overhead
In each star
Each glowing planet
In each blushing flower
Every human smile
Living in each act
Of kindness
I adore you
Idolize only you
Life, goodness, purity
Love, perfection
Gushing from you
YOU are our JOY!
Praise You, Lord God
Praise You!

Broken

Broken politics
Symptoms of a broken culture
With too many broken morals
Or lack thereof

A world so sick
It killed its own Creator
Hung Him on a dead, dry stick
Dying in
Our place

As is found in a
Holy, Holy, Holy Bible
Words do tell of
So it is
Words do explain
Therefore, it is
Guidelines by which to live
Hope, love, joy, peace
It seeks to give
So at last
To end, to mend
The brokenness

Resurrection!

Resurrection!

Resurrection

Demon's danced in glee
At the feet of the man
Dying upon a bitter tree
Storm clouds gathered
Sun darkened
Ground was shaken
Rocks split, tombs opened
Dead bodies walked, renewed
Hoping to gain even a brief view
As Christ breathed His last
Or did He?

Because . . .
A few days later
Dear friends walked upon
A garden's sod
To perfume a dead man's body
Instead . . .
Were given a glimpse
Of their risen God
By His gentle voice
Once more were they met
As from a now empty tomb
He had just stepped

They rejoiced, rejoiced
Again were allowed
To hear their dear Savior's voice
Such joy in heaven
Could not be contained
For at even the slightest mention
Of His Holy Royal Name
All of His powerful angels shout
HALLELUYAH! HALLELUYAH!
