No One Else!


No One Else!

No one else
Has ever died
For me
Hanging on
A bloody, agonizing tree
For all this world to see
That day,
All history shifted
From pain, shame
Toward one man's name
Jesus of Nazareth
In one word's breath
Christ

Just remember
No other 'god' before
Ever dared to try to
Even man's score
By taking on itself
The punishment
Of its own creation
Only Christ
Indeed there was
No dereliction
Of His duties

So please remember
Dear friends
As your life
Continues its
Progressing
There are
Important matters
Much more
Pressing
Faith in Christ,
Hope, Love
For you see
Upon the existence
Of their surety
Rests entirely
Your eternity's security

Of You


Of You



More of You

And less of me

Less of the angers

The hatreds

The greed



To empty myself

Of all worldly lusts

Waging war

Themselves

Into my heart,

Battling,

They thrust



With their painful swords

They slice

Fighting to cut

heaven's cords

But your hands

With Your love's power

Your strength,

They shower



Your fingers

Around my soul


Entwined

Reaching deep


No satanic, hellish

Demons

Can ever reach



So that is why

Every day

I must repeat

As I work, play

Walk or sleep

Not I but You

In me that lives

My salvation

Dear Christ

You protect

And into eternity


You keep!

Music


Music

Music,
Earth's,
Every nuanced beat
Resounding at His feet

Every cricket's
Creak
Every young bird's faltering
Tweet
Each lover's impassioned
Heart throb
All gathered, listened
To by their loving God

Each roaring wave's crash
Sound of hurried feet
As they dash
Knowing each tear's pain
& exactly how long
It will last
God's hand encompasses
Them all

The beat,
Cadence,
Collective sighs
A single breath
Gathered together
Of all living things
This music
And it's rhythms
All these beating drums
In God's kingdom
Orchestrated
Swaying
In one living dance!

All In All

All In All


All in all
Untainted
Uncorrupted
Perfect Goodness
On display
Every day
So no one can say
They do not know You

How huge
How massive
The realization
That the Lord of All
The only God
Of this creation
Desires for man
To live with Him
Forever

So do not say
He does not exist
You do not know Him
For the stars above
Turn, they twist
Only within God's grip
We should all
Learn how to praise
His Name
Even His holy angels
Eternally desire
To realize the same

Abandonment


Abandonment

Abandonment
A very big issue
Today
In homes
We abandon each other
Spouses, children
God never intended
For each to suffer
Such
At the hands
Of one another

Core issue is,
Of course,
We have abandoned
The Book
God's Book
We have forgotten
Rebelled
No longer into
It's guidelines
Deeply look

For when you
Abandon it
You abandon Him
Lord, Master, Creator
And
Writer
Of His Book
On which
With all our strength,
Souls,
We should
Have stood

So let us return
In this country
Still fairly young
To our first
greatest love
Words in
Black and white
Literally flowing
From above
Telling of Christ,
GOD'S
Glory
And His Paradise's Story!

Praise You
Lord God
Praise You!
