Evil

Darkness follows
Behind his back
His every step
Reeks of pain

Vapors of
Destruction
Waves of chaos
Fluctuate in his wake

SATAN is his
Name,
Death not life
Is the game
He plays with us.

Deceit and Delusion
His greatest weapons
To delude you into
Thinking he does
Not now or ever have
existed

Nor demons nor
Hell
Nor angels, nor
Heaven
Not Christ or
God Himself

Do not allow him
To wrap
His dark fingers
Around your
Neck

If he tries, unwrap
Them
With the truth and
Power of
The Only Name

of JESUS of
Nazareth
Born of a human
Virgin but
Not of a man

a SAVIOR on a
cross
whose perfect love,
life and death
saved you

from the deceiver,
liar, murderer
Satan
He does not wish
To you to give
A small bruise
But to rip, tear
You, your dear ones,
To shreds

Only the sweet name
Of Christ
Will save from the
Death the
Deceiver brings

So, do not follow
Let him drag
You
With him
Into the fiery,
Burning lake of
Sulphur
From which
there will be
No Return

Battleground

Battleground

Battle trumpets blare
Blasting out the warning
He is coming, He is coming
The LORD is here,
HE is here!

His world obeys his call
Rejoicing in his presence
Trees sing, the lion pauses
In his hunt
Rocks leap from the ground
In joy!

Mighty angels
Fall to earth
Shaking the ground
at each step
GOD has arrived
Our Warrior is here!

The ancient enemy
Of man
Satan
Will be defeated for
All infinity!

The battle rages on
And on
It still rages even
Today
Will you not join
God’s army?

Abounding in love,
Mercy, forgiveness
His POWER
Protects even today!

Do not sway,
Do not fear
GOD is
Always near
Closer than any brother.

Strange it may seem
That it may be
Possible to fight and
Enter GOD’s rest
As you struggle.

HE will always be
At your side
To teach, encourage
And guide
Never leaving all HE
LOVES!

And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 7maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”

Listen!

 

Listen

Listen, in the air
Angel wings move
Beat
Winds roar
To their rhythm

Wait, Wait
Not yet time
But it will be
Change is in the air

Heavens will roar
Earth melts from
The fire
In your breath

For now your
Patience
Is all we know of
Your salvation

Do not harden
Your hearts
As other did in
The past

Angels await to
Do His bidding
Held back for now
Only by His love

Between

Between
Held between
Your face and
dark demons
I wait
My only release
the joy on Your Face.

And so, others they come,
Only a trickle through time
But still they come
And I wait
By your side
Hoping this tide
Will turn and more will
Come.

My enabler, empowered
Master, God and Noble King,
Waiting for Others to follow
And to come.
I know,
But still this waiting chafes against
My skin.

Silken Robes

Silken Robes II

Silken Robes
Dipped in blood
Blowing in eternity’s
Faithful winds
Passing through
This present today
As I sit entrapped
Within my space and time

Soft & smooth
Blowing across my face
Sent to caress
Dipped in a blood-red grace
Meant to end forever
My shame and disgrace.

Heaven’s gracious light
Pouring over the world
Coursing in the fluid of His life
Cleansing man’s darkest stains
Uncaring how steep the price
& thinking only of our gain.

So, with scarlet red drops
dripping everywhere
Christ gathers us back
Into Heaven’s rarest of airs
Bringing each together
Back to love’s warm embrace
found uniquely and only
Within the Glory and Grace
Glowing forth from the face
Of our Heaven’s Faithful Father.

 

Silken Robes

Silken Robes
Dipped in blood
Blowing in eternity’s
Perpetual, faithful winds
Passing by
Flowing through
The present today
I sit entrapped
Within my space and time

Always moving
Searching, never still
Gathering, finding
Loving
In your Today
Won’t you please listen.

Touch His robe
And see
A different way to
Live and be
New life on display
Giving always of
This, His Eternal Today

Do not wait
Our Today will not
Always be
Chances come
And then they go
Do not miss
Your moment’s chance
To see and be
Your small part
Of Christ’s always heavenly glow

Lost Leaves

Lost Leaves

Lost leaves
Loose, blown around
By swirling,
changing winds
Looking for an anchor
to the ground

Falling victims
To anyone who
Kicks a foot their way
Shuffles through
Their midst
Helpless, they give sway

No one dares or cares
To stop their helplessness
Bothers to come by
Hear their weary sighs
Or give to them a much
Long-needed rest

Until one day, a Prince
Arrives, sees their
Plight lying at his feet
Bothers to bend
notice, selects a few
With a hand does reach

Gathers to himself
Only a few
Loving, seeing
Wanting to renew
A world and them
To Begin their life anew

He sighs, they dance
Upon his living breath
Laughing in joy
They swirl, return
To ground and lift
The others up from death
Found from lying
Down below
On a ground so cold
And lifeless
An enemy has left in
Dark confusion and a guess

But now, they
Know
And have been shown
A better place and
Forever home
Within a Prince’s holy glow

He will save you too
A new life give to you
In Holy glory He
Truly eternally lives
Burning Bright radiance,
Fiery love upon His face

A forever home
He will be
for all lost leaves
Lying on wet cold ground
And still not found
In Joy He weeps
To think at last
He’ll be able to keep
Them home and
Safe within His Grace
