Exclude

Exclude

Alone
At the foot of your throne
I bury myself
Deeper into you
Everything else,
All others I wish to exclude

Temporary pleasures
I wish to toss
Out of my heart, mind
Forever are they lost
Seek them only
At your own peril
They come at a very high cost

Eternity calls your name
Sometimes screams
Sometimes whispers
You just have to remember
To stop, be a listener
And of satan's fraudulent
Schemes be an eternal resistor!

True Worth

True Worth

I know I am 
A sinner
Steeped
In sin 
Since my birth
My only true worth
Lies deep 
Within Your Name

But
To worship
You incessantly
From the start
Does this 
To my life
True joy impart

The privilege
To carry 
Your Name
Not for profit
Nor for fame
Joy such as this
From nothing else
Will you gain

Oh my 
Jesus, Holy Master
Can you not
Perfect me
A little faster
Then others too
May see
And receive the bliss
Of just one kiss
Ah,
Your love's perfection!!

Spirit

Spirit

You dance 
Enmeshed in their arms
Do you hold them together
In eternity's airs?

Ethereal
Non-corporal
Yet so powerful
Working within the heart
To bring life a new start
That re-birth

So,
Holy Spirit
Come dance with me
Fill me
Though unseen
Allow again
Another face 
among the throngs
Your will to see
And as you bring
To lay at my feet
Heaven's great infinities!!

The Answer

The Answer


To be with You
Holy God
Inseparable
Completely joined
You living in me
Or
Perfectly together,
My daily existence
Walking inside of You!

But how can that happen
How can that truly be?
Perhaps only in eternity
The answer to that question
will I at last be able to see!

Flitter Away

Flitter Away

Sad 
To watch
It flitter about
Even it twitters about
Stalls. Crashes.
Falls.

This waste of precious time
Throwing away of minds
Reaching for the subpar
Mundane, mediocre
(Or less than)
When instead
We could touch the sublime

The mind (&heart) of God
Calls out to us 
Every heartbeat 
Every breath
Every moment a test
Of your reply

Call out to Him
He'll call out even louder
Return to you even more power
To every moment, each hour
Live in the basking
Glow of His face
So we will no longer
Have to trace
That wretched waste
(The flitter away)
Of our precious life's time!!!

Praise!!!

Praise


Praise even harder
As satan squeezes tighter
For you know 
Jesus is a fighter
Never giving up

satan has no knockout punch
Delivering in just one tremendous blow
Jesus raised a bloodied fist
From that wooden cross
Only one wham
then a bam
Christ just sighed 
then He died
Finally relaxed
Had finished His task
& just went out to lunch!!!
