Bustin’

Bustin’

Massive, unstoppable
Almighty, 
Owner of an 
Entire universe,
Our home,
This earth
Powerful enough
To stop the dirth
Of Your own Spirit
Inside Your beloved church

You come
In all Your glory
All Your power
Double edged sword
In Your mouth
Let there be absolutely
No doubt
You will be 
Bustin' down 
The very gates of hell
So in this rhyme
I will say,
Let me tell
No one, nothing
In all Christ's creation
Will stop Him
Or Heaven's celebration!

Why Me?

Me, Why?

Someone who rides
Among the stars
On wings of the wind
Who has the power to transcend
Both time and space
From out whose face
Energy, heat, light, His Glory
Gush, pour out from
Are so easily traced

This beautiful Someone
From His golden throne
This Perfectly Holy Son
Wants to love us
Plural of the you and me
Sometimes as I sigh
I ask the question, WHY?

I look at our past 
Track record
A history full of so
Many great transgressions
Committed most openly
With such small amounts
of discretion
Rebellion written on our skin
All done just to get our own way,
Some selfish lust to win
Destroying life, this has
To be the truest form of sin

But Christ chose to love
Us anyway
Never stops
Morning, night of every day
Praise God for that!
For He cannot go against 
His own nature
And so 
In an amazing act of pure
Salvation

Left His Glory's throne
His walks among the stars
To die for His created man
And now on His own hands
Still bears the ugliest of scars

Help

Help

You Draw near
Power of a trillion sun's
Held in one hand
Sacrifice & 
Love of calvary
Within Your heart
I am not worthy

Of anything
About You
Holy Lord
Your great beauty
Incomprehensible power
Your world-shaking
Passion for us

You, the ultimate
King of all kings
Of uncountable stars,
Whole Galaxies
Wants me!!
What can I give you?

Help me then
To love You
Serve You
Sacrifice for You
Your Calvary's Sacrifice
To reciprocate
Help me to dedicate
This, my only small life,
To You!

Condemnation

Condemnation

Condemnation
Such a harsh word
Denotes a punishment
Or even perhaps 
A scourge

America's church
Should stop
Take a deep breath
We have entered
A time unique, 
Unprecedented
A time of great tests

A culture caught
Tightly, as never before
In satan's grasp
Many lost souls
To his dark chest
Does he clasp

Because
A silent church
Has lost its passion
For the All Powerful
Living Christ
By comfort & 
Convenience
Has it been enticed

So we have become
Cowards
At our work
Afraid to speak 
His Holy Name
Or simply
As we play a game

Or is it because
We've become too lazy
Allowing all the crazies
To overwhelm our culture 
Instead of us helping
God's Holy Spirit 
Our lives to nurture

So before God completely condemns
His blessed more than most
American church
Let us once again 
Become a shining star
Stop denying
No longer pretend
As cowardice & laziness
Are attractive on no one!

 Revelation 3: 15-16  I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!  So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

Immortality

The physical shell will die
Cease to function
But wait!
Dry your eyes
Don't cry!

Good news is heralded
Shining like a rare emerald
No longer for you
Will life ever again be imperiled

Christ has been resurrected
Trumpet blasts of heaven
Freely flow from above
So no longer need you question
Your Immortality!

No matter the hell
At this level life may throw
Cling to Christ
He will lift your soul

You will transcend
To a joy-filled life 
with Him
That will 
Never end!!!

Distracted

Distracted
I turn my head 
from side to side
Distracted
I sigh
There must be a better
Reason
Than this
For which I exist
Perhaps I should
Just desist
From all these
Distractions

To buy, buy
Consume, consume
I think I just want 
To leave this room
Too many distractions
All these man-made
Contraptions

Most only man-made junk
They buzz, they whirl,
They even clunk
I think I am at last sunk
From the pile, my stash
Boy, on it,
I've lost a pile of cash

Until a still, small voice
Whispers into my inner ear
I'm just right here
Do not fear
For your life
I can give a better purpose
From this chaotic 
3 ring circus

I created you to share
In me
My great beauty
My love
From heaven's gates
Is falling
A higher calling 
Meant for everyone

In my great name
Must you follow
Let go of those deceptions
Distractions so hollow
Let me be your only God
As upon this earth
Will you so briefly trod
Until I call you back to myself

So listen to that quiet voice
It comes from only me
Still trying to get you to see
You were created to be
Forever with me
The one true lover 
Of your soul
For that was my truest goal
To share myself with you
In my Eternity's Paradise!!
