Even Though

Even Though

Even though
As the spirit leaves
The body
Becomes an empty
Carcass
Even though as evil screeches
Its joy
Thinking it has won
Frenzied in a dance 
Most heartless

From a place of new honor
As you glance only briefly
Back as the demons rejoice
Christ comes most sweetly
Takes your hand
To show His Promised Land

So the ignorance 
of the darkness
Will never know 
true victory
For them it remains 
a mystery
So through your obedience
In your life’s history
In Christ you 
will be allowed
With Him 
to live most blissfully!

Too Archaic?

Too Archaic?

Evil
An old, archaic word
You say
But just listen
If you will but stay
Is not man also ancient
On the face of 
This revolving planet?

Also, since antiquity
Yet basically
Man is as the same
Since all the history of 
Our yesterdays
Thru & up to 
All the current of
Our present’s todays!

So,
Do not overrule that 
Ancient word
Evil 
Spun from the workings of 
A devil
satan seeks only to destroy
Every man, woman
Girl & even the youngest of 
All the boys

Work against it
Within yourself
Try to overcome it
Seek God’s light,
His Spirit’s pure power
To win for each of us
Of life these hours
That can come at us
In such a resounding,
Cascading crush!

I Love

I love Jesus of Nazareth
Why you ask
Because,
Orphaned as I was,
Alone only He 
Performed the task
Chose to love me
When no other’s love
Could I feel or see

So out loud I try to say
His Name
In the chaos of each, my days,
In the midst
Of all the scoffers
I only wished
I had said His Name
Even more often

Such a joy does it carry
I hope never to grow weary
The saying of this Beauty, 
His Name,
JESUS

Just to hear the sound
So by that speaking
May His grace
More & more abound
To each & all my sisters
& my brothers!

To Enlarge!

To Enlarge

Enlarge my ears
So I may hear
Your message
So much more clear
But not just for me
But so that others
May also see
Your Glory!

Enlarge also their ears
So You may stretch
Their ‘hearts’
For all our spirits need 
A fresh, new start

Please save us
Since you love us
This most earnestly
I pray
Each, Every Day
For You, Dear Christ,
In your power, might
To stop all this vicious decay
Around us!!!

At Night!

At Night

At night
I dream of your face
Hardly daring to believe
You would give me
This taste
Of You
Your Beauty
Overwhelming Power
Completed Purity

Such intimacy with one
Such as You
More than I, mere man,
Can ever comprehend
I pray never will it end
Praise You, Lord God,
Praise You

In golden splendor
You arrive
Settling somewhere above,
Between,
All my why’s
To Be
As You Will Be
So, 
I tremble on my knees
Gratitude
Contained in tears, it falls

Again,
 I tremble at your call,
But I dare not
Do not wish to resist
For this I live & breathe
Waiting, I cannot fully
Conceive
This future hope
Of your Magnificent Eternity!!
