This DayThis day is
The culmination
Of all of man's history
A day so blistering
It stands out as no other
The day when our
One & Only God
Died for us
Took our place
On that cruel cross
His perfection
His perfectly pure blood
Covered our impurity
Marking that day
Most assuredly
The most important day
(For us)
Since our creation
The one that provided satiation
For all our sin's dark deviations
Solace
A world in chaos
Precious souls torn
To pieces
satin's influence without
Restraint
Where is safety?
Only in One Name
Comfort, comfort
My people
You have said before
Today we could not need
You any more
Come, Lord God,
Come
This Easter weekend
We celebrate your death,
Burial & glorious resurrection
To save me from
My imperfections
And our great fall,
Our horrible defection
Away from Your Grace
So thank you
Lord God
For the precious blood
That was shed
Running brightly red
On that one & only day
That brought to us
Through a cruel cross
Your Solace!
What’s Happened?
What's happened to that fire?
That roaring, scorching roar
A fire so strong
Those rising flames
Redemption at its core
Sadly,
Today it sounds a whimper
That fire now burns much dimmer
Than in days of long ago
Did it seem then any simpler?
No!
then as is now
Christ never tried to
Simply please the crowds
Instead of praise
He only earned
A darkened funeral shroud
On a fateful Pentecost
A Spirit's fire was loosed
Bright, burning above their heads
Seen as to more clearly teach
Their God's eternal truths
So let's catch hold
Revive, rejuvenate those flames
Boldly denounce all worldly shames
So we may free ourselves & others
From satan's violent chains
UP
Up
Between earth
And sky
A Savior died
Not easily
But in agony
Sweat, blood
That bright red fluid
The only power
To unleash the flood
Of God's forgiveness
So the next time
You feel alone, lost
Just look up
To the man
On the cross
By faith will
You be lifted up
To live in Him
Between His golden
Gates you'll walk
And His eternal love
Forever win!
My Value!
My value does not
come from you
But the One who
Came to recreate
Me anew
To Christ
Is all of my loyalty due
So
Forgive me, dear friends
If I've learned to refuse
To listen to what
You tell me to do
My trust for my value
Belongs in that One
The Only One,
Who died For me
It's in His eyes
That I sink or swim
In whom all my worth,
This world’s reality
Begins & ends!!
Into the OutWhy do we try
To hold within
What was meant
to be so out
Buildings were never
Meant to contain
Words powerful
Enough to sustain
An entire planet
Do we really believe
A church's walls
Are the only place
A person's soul
Can feel the call
Of Christ
It can happen
on the streets
It can happen
Where we eat
Sometimes,
Even as we sleep
So, God's church
Get out do That work
Heaven's great loss
Brought about on a cross
For us also to sacrifice
Others to save
Bring to them a better way
For our whole planet
See a completely new day!!
