In Love?
In love with Jesus
Is that what I’m
Supposed to be?
New idea at times
Something worth the try?
Perhaps of this should I see
Infatuated, Adoring
Up in my heart should
I be storing
For someone such as Him
These feelings will He win
From within me?
The answer to all these questions
Should be
A loud resounding yes
For to love someone else
You must let go of self
Which is assuredly for most
A very difficult test
But that is what we’re
Called to be
I think I’ll try it
More just to see
What results can possibly come
From making an attempt to
Follow God’s Only Living Son
So,
Forward, onward
I will go
At times not at all to know
Exactly how to walk
Or talk like Him
My goodness, patience
At times will wear incredibly thin
But hoping more & more
As on I go His ways to win
So myself I need to remind
More than just one time
With these simple words
‘Not I but Christ that liveth in me’
Hoping, praying someday
A new better version of myself
Will this world finally be able to see!!
A Devil’s Dance
Around & around
Up & down
Whirling, madly swirling
This devil’s dance
To mesmerize,
Trying to entrance
To fool, deceive
Destroy
Only purpose for
A devils’ dance
More powerful than any opiate
Illegal it should be
For it teaches to never satiate
Teaches you not to perceive
Take off the blinders
Stop watching satan’s sidewinders
Frantically writhing
Rotten to the core
Pain is all that is left in store
For all who will follow
a devil's dance!
The Big Come Down
A King on a Royal Throne
At the bequest of another
Acquiesced to give up
Its glorious golden glow
Fell to His knees
Father, Your plan I will obey
On a fateful, cold winter’s night
Appeared a most unusual sight
A single star hung in a blackened sky
For wise men to search by
To find this King laying in straw
For man, the most holy, precious gift
0f all
Come to save us from ourselves
But to do so among us had to dwell
Live with us, sleep with us
With us eat
Having a most intense promise
To keep
Knowing it could only be done
In horrific pain
He vowed to do it just the same
So history’s biggest Come Down occurred
A Prince to His Father deferred
Left a throne of infinity’s power
So in a short lifetime he might shower
Man with God’s forgiveness at last
Even for Him,
It was a most formidable task
Suffered through our ignorance, brutality
Forced to His knees
Spiked to a wooden cross
Heaven’s Own Son
From our evil we could not run
But this enormous Come Down
Brings to us the most unique sound
Of powerful angels’ voices raised
To this Christ, God’s Only Son
Their splendid, magnificent, holy praise
Pentecostal Fire
Disciples, huddled
In an upper room
Shaking in their boots
Trying to dispel the gloom
Of your death
Feeling only fear’s failure was left
Until,
A Pentecostal fire
Blazed across their heads
By tongues of living fire
Were they to be led
To stop the shaking, quaking
& rise up
Boldly speak
Those first words of hope
To preach
And loudly proclaim
In many tongues
The life, the power
Of God’s only RISEN SON!
Prayer for this Sunday Morning
I am going to rise up
Quit living in the muck
Satan attempts to
drag me down into
And I choose YOU
Lord Jesus,
I choose you
And you ever-growing hope!
Amen.
