Thank You!
Thank You,
Dear Lord,
For allowing me an orphan to be
From birth
Never quite feeling I fit in
On this green earth
So the stairways,
Those steps to heaven,
My eternal soul could win!
What an enemy purposed
For evil
You turned into a blessing
But it did not come without
A great testing
Your Son fought ahead of me
Clearing a path so I could see
The gate of heaven of me just ahead
Just as the words spoken in your Book
Most clearly & succinctly had said!
Praise You Lord, God, King Jesus & Holy Spirit!!
Above is a frame shot of a new video I did. I finally finished working in a new video editing program with it and added a poem to it that I put on my blog just recently. You can view it on my Youtube channel at https://youtu.be/mSTYu8a7Cys. Hope you enjoy it and may God bless your day!
Your New Beginning
On a cross
At the time of
Heaven’s greatest loss
Hung the world’s creator
As His own creation
Destroyed His physical life
All heaven held its
Breath & waited
Watched as hell & satan’s
Power fell, was abated
Telling one so new to faith,
Today, you will be with
Me in paradise!
Angels watching wept
His earthly mother cries
With ‘It is finished’ for
His last few words
His spirit left, hurled
Only an empty body curled,
Crushed from the pain
By human eyes still seen
Hanging on that wooden beam
But it was not His end
All death was spurned
New life for us He earned
With a resurrection so fresh
God’s answer to his death
For us ended with a YES
Thru our faithful lives,
As it was for His,
Your death will be your winning
Of His newborn Paradise
Your total, complete & new beginning!

The One
(and only)
In the beginning
the One
Created from nothing
All of this something
Father, Spirit & the Son
Worked in perfect harmony
So all of their creation
Could witness their unity
A part of that One
To earth was sent
With only the best intent
To save a beloved child
From the darkest designs
Of an enemy most vile
In the name of our Christ
Diseases were healed,
Demons were routed
Death was defeated
The Dead were raised
All to the glorious praise
Of His Holy Name
It is today still
That wonderful Name
& thru His gracious Will
In terror all demons run
When the Name is said
Of that precious One,
Jesus of Nazareth
Only the name of
That precious One
Has ever made all
my own demons run
I spoke it into the dark
Sincerely from my heart
In a heartbeat, they fled
Away from the side of my bed
Man has always been
too weak & on our own
We will never defeat,
Never meant to try
To survive all alone
Under a dark satan’s
Destructive, vicious blows
Only is that One Name
Been made all powerful
To totally destroy
satan’s darkness
So let us in faith joyfully sing
As out loud our praises ring
The name of our Christ,
Our eternity’s King
Will You?
The pain increases
Oh what if it never ceases?
What will I do then
What can bring it to an end?
Where is that God
That said he wants to heal
Now as from this incessant pain
I kneel
Where is my helper now?
Slowly a light starts within
My chest
A knowledge evolves
As I try to resolve this test
Will you still love me?
What kind of question is that?
I turn from it and pray
Again inside my head
Those words have another say
Will you still love me?
If your circumstances
I do not change today
Do not give you
Exactly your way
Will you still love me?
I seek only those worthy
Of my higher calling
For an enemy’s lies
Do not be falling
Following me will not
Always be easy
Before your eyes
I will not always be pleasing
Your world now is lost
To save it I paid a terrible cost
Now will you be willing
To suffer a loss
To follow me?

Pick Up Your. . .
As children we get told
Pick up your things, your mess
Clean behind yourself
Oh, how our parents we can test
As older we grow
But as we become adults
By someone much wiser than I
From an ancient book of old
We are each & every told
To pick up our cross and Follow Him
Notice. . .
He did not say
Pick up your money
Or your pleasure
Or your lusts for
Material possessions
He said
Pick up your troubles,
Pain, suffering
And follow me anyway
Try each & every day
Within His footsteps to stay
Christ did not live a life
Of luxury
Pleasure
While here not
even particularly loved
Except from the Holy Father above
Denied Himself
Became obedient
Even when He was sent
To that tortuous cross!
Counted it all as nothing, all a loss
For us paid a most excruciating cost!
Cannot we do the same
To follow His Glorious name?
To find your life you must lose it
And if you are not willing. . . ?
Not willing to sacrifice for Him
Then worthy of Him are we not
His words, not mine!
Matthew 10:37–39 Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.
Christ does not mean not to love your family or neighbors, only to put Him first! Praise God for his love, mercy, grace and forgiveness!
