The Gate
This,
An unusual gate
An unusual shape
Formed
Of two wooden beams
Not entirely an
Unbroken seam
What's known as
A Cross
On it people were hung
By hands or wrists
From its one horizontal rung
Until
No longer down here
Did they exist
Left to die
Against God's pale blue sky
But
For them it was not
The end
For them the journey
Was it just about
To begin
Their souls released
To step through a gate
Into eternal peace
Or into a darker pain
For them,
Their existence would
Never be the same
Christ took that dark
Symbol of man's brutality
And turned it into the new
Reality
Of God's goodness,
Forgiveness
Love
Falling in heavenly showers
Of Jesus Christ's blood
So won't you step through
This heavenly gate
Opened daily,
Always freely to you
But remember,
Only by your own faith
As your Creator's joy-filled
Heart awaits
Do its portals swing wide
To reveal His Glorious Paradise inside!!

Martyr?
Martyr?
Are you really
Willing to die?
Let go of it all?
For an illusion?
Something I cannot
See?
Something I
Cannot touch?
But you say it
Is the truth
This is indeed
Most acute!
Is this how
Your mind
You wish to soothe?
An unseen God
A Holy Savior
A spiritual level to life?
To save us from what?
I will admit
There is much chaos
Afoot
Everywhere much cruelty
Pain suffering
To find all of that
No one would really
Be at all hard put!
Maybe you are right
Perhaps I should be more
Contrite
Learn to let go
So I too may know
The Spirit's burning fire,
Joy, the Privilege
To pick up my cross
And follow Him
His paradise to win
To lose myself
And for the living Christ
Become a martyr!!
Warmth
Jesus’s powerful presence and love can fill your heart and spirit like nothing or anyone else can. Nothing else on our earth can satisfy your deep spiritual, emotional needs like He can, and He wants to do that eternally and forever. Praise God!
Warmth
Warmth fills the air
Pure gold
A white clad throng
They part
I stare
You come
Walking
through the middle
No one makes a sound
Toward me
You extend a hand
You smile
Your radiance,
Dear Christ,
Warms me
To my bones
And
Within Your smile's
Warmth
Lies my forever home!
Then My Soul
We are all immortal, living spirits. Created in the image of God, we will never cease to exist, and the good thing about life is that He gives you the freedom to choose where you will spend eternity!
Then My Soul
Then my soul
Raised her hands
Unbound by earth
Unlocked from land
Blew out her wings
Called by Your Spirit's
Songs
From heaven's hope
They rise, they spring
And sailed away
From off this
Darkened ground
Following
Your Sweet Voice's sound
To live forever within
Christ’s Glory!!
No Other Blood
No Other Blood
My slate wiped
Clean
Of everything I
Have done selfishly
Everything mean
And
By what you say?
Christ's Holy, Pure
Blood
On an ancient hill
called Calvary
Put forth for
Every living, breathing
Creature to see
The God-man hung
From spikes in hands
And feet
His love-filled Blood
Staining the ground
So with only from
His lips a few
Sounds
His Pure, Holy Blood
Did encircle, surround
His earth
For all eternity,
All time
Certainly not yours
And never mine
It was only Him
Our King, Lord, Creator
Savior
Joined with the Holy
Father
That made the plan
Only His Blood
Strong, pure, clean
Enough
To save corrupted
Man
So next time you're
Feeling grateful
Get down on your knees
Thank Christ for that
Day most fateful
For there was no other
Blood
That could have done
The job
Rescued us from our
Blackened sin
And
Brought us back home
To our generously
forgiving GOD!
No More
No More
No more,
No more,
From a pulpit
No more silly words
Make my ears sore
I live in the zone
Of a war
One for my only
Eternal soul
Bombarded every day
In many, all ways
By satan, demons
I need words
To wear
Thick as heavy armor
To protect against
A deranged, depraved
Godless world
It's media hounds
Slavering for my blood
World leaders
Drunk, intoxicated,
With power
Lusting for just
One more hour
On their thrones
So step up
All you spiritual leaders
Do your jobs
As satan screams
Into our ears
Fighting each human
To rob
Of God's Eternal Love!
