Monday Prayer
Jesus,
You own
Your world
You made
It
Only You can
Save
It
And us
From ourselves
So please
Won’t You
Come dwell
Within us,
Me
So I may see
You,
Father,
Holy Spirit
As You really are
Come to know you
Better
Watch you as you
Scatter
Yourself and gifts
To us
I need you
Come walk
Around inside
my life
to end the
strife
between us
So it is not I
But you that
Lives in me
Thank you for
Showing me
Your way
So straight
As You fling
Open Heaven’s
Gates.
Praise You
Lord Jesus
Forgive me.
In your name
Amen
Dull Ache
A Dull Ache
Somewhere
In the middle
Growing larger
No longer little
A need
more insistent
Almost a sharp
Pain
Then becomes
a Joy
This, the means
You employ
To draw me
Closer
Your Spirit
Entices
I come to
a Sun,
Beautiful Light,
Perfection
Holding only
Life
Your Purity
Your Goodness
You breathe
Eternity
Return to me
I will return
To you
As my
Desire
Intensifies
I wonder
When it will
Be met
This ache
This longing
We all
Within feel
This unmet
Need
We constantly
Try to fill
With shallow
Thrills,
Cheap pleasures
Life can feel
Like walking
Uphill
With a heavy
load
Your beauty, God
the only real
goad
To continue
Earth
As it is now
Will never be
Utopia,
[perfection’s
power]
Only with
Christ’s return
Will that
For which we
Yearn
Be Met!
Revelation 7:9-10 After this I looked, and there before me
was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation,
tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before
the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm
branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
Revelation 7:17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne
will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of
living water’, and ‘God will wipe away every tear from
their eyes’.
Still Walking
The world
Is dead
But up &
Still walking
Around
Working,
Playing
They sound
Alive
But. . .
Without Christ
God, their Father
Anyone like
That
Is dead
Already
In their heads,
Hearts,
Denying their
God
They just don’t know it.
So many living
Without Christ
So spiritually, totally
Dead
So Sad
But, with that said,
should we not warn
Them?
To keep them
from:
The outer darkness,
Weeping, wailing
Gnashing of teeth
Worms that never
Die
Fire that is never
Quenched
More than just
Once
These things
Are described
Prophets,
Christ Himself,
Not to be denied
Said out of love
For Us
It is our
Responsibility
To Warn
Not with a tongue
So glib
But with Loving Hearts
& Words
As Christ
Himself Did
Out of
His Great Love
For Us
He warned
As you would
Warn any child
Its hand to keep,
Avoid,
Not to seek
That deadly fire
& its
Unspeakable Pain.
Matt. 13:49 -50 This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the blazing furnace where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mark 9:47-49 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell where,
the worms that eat them do not die
and the fire is not quenched
Everyone will be salted with fire.
Isaiah 66:24 And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”
Answer
Most stand calling
Not realizing they do
What is it they Desire?
They need You,
Lord, God
The passion, fire
Of your heart
For them!
That is the answer
We all need.
In blindness &
Stumbling, fumbling Is this not what
We all seek?
Seeking joy, peace,
Fulfillment,
Love
We wander, fight
Shove
For our share
Of this earth
When all true lifeFlows freely from above.
INSIDE GOD’S HEART
We were made to live
From the very start
This is the purpose,
ANSWER
For which we were
Created
In only this,
Are all needs sated
To live daily
In contentment
More Fulfilled
Try as much as you
Can
To live inside
His Will
His Intellect,
His purposes
Your old man
That self
Must be killed
To let Him have
His way
Over you
His swaySo you may say,
Not I but Christ
That liveth in me.
But because we turn
Away
Harden our hearts,
Without our true calling
We endlessly wander
Thru all of life
Unsatisfied, discontent
stumbling
& falling
Startle Me
Startle me,
Wake me,
On a shelf
I’ve been
Too long
Now seems
The perfect time
For a newer song
So . . .
Wake me
Shake me
Do it again
King Jesus
As you did it then
On those dusty streets
Of old Jerusalem
Flow thru us
Live through us
Your power shining,
Exploding
As to your world
Your beauty
You’re showing
So, come
Lord Jesus
Come
Legions of angels
Behind you
To tromp,
Stomp
On this
Shallow dirt,
This clay
Quake the earth
As you did before
Awaken your church
Let it arise
At your bidding
As this dark war
Assuredly you will
Be winning
Let us not be afraid
To get our hands dirty
Comfort, convenience
Never wins the day
So do it,
Again
King Jesus
Do it Again
Awaken once
more our spirits
to call us your
Steadfast Soldiers
& Friends!
Swallowed by the Sun
The Sun
That Fiery burning orb
Of our earth he is the lord
For surely, all life here below
without its heated glow
Would die
Be dark
Encrusted by the cold
Death for every plant,
animal,
Would soon ensue
Even for me & you
For sure
It is a paradox
Yet, Swallowed by the sun
No one could survive
Burnt to a crisp
I most assuredly would die
However. . . ,
There is another sun
More glorious than you
To be swallowed
By this SON
Only brings us to
Love, joy
PEACE
Beyond my poor
Ability
To see
Or
Understand
So swallow me Lord Jesus
Engulf me in your glory
It is my same old story.
For You,
My pain-filled heart bleeds
Only Your precious warmth
Brings the life I truly need
Inside your burning light
I am allowed to see
Eternity
So I fall to my knees
Beg, implore
Swallow me Lord
Let me live, breathe, exist
Inside
Your Glistening,
Golden Glory!!
