Battleground
Darkness chases me
From an ancient enemy
Hot breath behind
On my neck
Running I scream
For someone to protect
My heart
I labor, I pant, I moan
Pain, terror fills the air
Eyes closed from fear
I crash into your chest
You stroke my hair
Embrace, folding me
Into the gentle nest
Of your heart
Your light explodes
Filling my orphan’s world
Making up for my lacks
Of home, family
Giving me yourself,
Lord Christ,
And our joyful ecstasy!
A Creeping
(a prayer)
Sadness creeps in
Between the cracks
Of my Darkened heart
That I wear
Holding on to
Every care
Help me, Holy Spirit
To let go
So old memories
May no longer hold
Their black power
Thank you for appearing
Willing to come nearer
To this world’s & my pain
Trying to teach me
The strength within your name
Of Glory, Majesty, power
Over heaven and hell
Urging me to tell
Your nearness to me
For a spell
Of Your Beauty’s angels,
Darkness’s demons,
Your blinding Light
Help me to do it right
To spread your goodness
To a world so dreadfully,
Desperately, in need of
Your Love’s Passion
And Perfectly Pure Might!!
Satan
Murderer,
Prince of this world
Deceiver
Father of all lies
Prowling
A roaring lion
Looking for someone
To devour
Do not let him
Have you
This deluder
Resist
He will flee
At the name of
The only One
Jesus Christ
the Lord
darkness flees
before Him
so, do not let
the dark one
use his greatest
weapon,
for you not
to believe
he exists
Self
Self is an illusion
Selfishness a greater tragedy
I am an extension,
Imprinted with and by
Someone Else.
Created in another’s image
Given some of His attributes
Living in His pleasure
I reach out my hand
And return to the one
I came from.
Death is a release
from my separation
From my Creator/God
This, my Yahweh.
Joy on A Page
Words on a page
Ancient as time
March in procession
Line by line
Written by a holy finger
Within the fires of truth
I pray deep in my heart
May they forever linger
Written in ink so black
Copied, recopied by scribes so holy
Yet, at times it took man’s blood
To tell God’s eternal story
Read His Word
Which shall never pass away
Lifts us up, transcending all strife
Leads to His perfect joy, love
& the Blissful Ecstasy of
His Forever Life!
When Jesus talked to Nicodemus, He spoke about our rebirth. In John 3:5 He speaks of being reborn of water and the Spirit.
Romans 6:4 We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. NIV
Rebirth!
It tears at my flesh
My soul is reborn
Into a world of light!
No more running from the night.
I thank you, Gracious Lord,
for this Glory of New Life
It runs downhill and up
in endless joyful Flight!
