Gratitude – A Thanks Giving Taking our punishment on Himself Until of all physical life was He bereft Of all our failures, darkest sins Were we completely cleansed Until none of it was left In return for this should we not At least a few moments a day Let go, Our own careless ways to stop And say one Thank You!
Morning Prayer - A Beautiful Day! Come Lord Jesus Let’s have a beautiful day! Keep my eyes focused up Toward your ever flowing cup Of Your Purest Joy & Love Thank you for letting me look above Toward your beaming, smiling Face Unending Overwhelming Mercy & Grace Of this, I desperately need A very large spoonful’s taste! Help me stay focused off The chaotic darkness below Our wars, pain & greed Allowing me to clearly perceive Your Radiant Perfection’s Glow A different way & place to live Is what you always wished to give Eternity’s paradise, those opened gates To a much better place And the overwhelming beauty Found only on your Holy Face!
The First Christ must come first Everything else a poor second As you listen to His voice So sweetly trill & beckon Return to me I will return to you A new day will break forth Ensue! A sun unlike any other Will roll & rise A shining, sparkling New planet To be beheld with widened eyes To live in a new universe These second-hand words I now rehearse Taken from the writings Of an ancient Holy Book I am allowed to delight in reciting!
So Forget! A world barges in Rude & loud, using force Seeking its own way To get me off my course From you, Lord Christ So, On I must struggle To stay away From seeking its Loud, belligerent way & listen to your gentle voice instead So, F O R G E T Your large house Your sleek, ramblings cars Persistent pleasure seeking In Him only Am I believing! Toward His cross Am I retreating! Toward a better life & a Living Son’s Paradise!!!
The Broken Restored My soul was broken In pieces shattered Only You could collect The pieces From where They were scattered Into the darkness Your fingers reached & found them I stand restored, Whole, once again A new creation Is for what you wish But only You, Dear Savior That truth can seal With Your Holy Kiss!

In The Above In the above, those celestial skies Surely, God must shake His head & sigh ‘Will they never learn’? He watches as we all despise His love’s most generous guidelines But still I suppose As only He most assuredly knows & so forward & on He goes Still trying our souls to win Keep us from that damning sin Of our total & defiant rebellion But, Lucky for us, Our God is not a quitter We are the ones Who turn our backs & run From His wonderful perfect grace Reflected in Beauty’s Love on His Face So, Be different from the rest Do not put God to the test Stay, live to enjoy Those Eternal Pleasures in store Between Infinity’s Gates they await!
