SomedayIt still amazes me, Lord
That even yet today
You want to share
Your Goodness with me
My imperfections are almost
As numerous & vast
As the span of one of
Your seasI stumble, I fall
I walk then I crawl
Down here I never
Quite pull it all
TogetherYet Someday I know
Yourself you will show
To each, to every & all
I will live to display,
on that Heaven’s Perfected Day
Only Your Shining Glory
My imperfections will be
Forever washed, wiped
Completely Away!
Smear Campaign
A smear campaign,
A dark, thick smoky
Cloud
From eons ago
From the beginning
Hoping it would be
Winning
Against Heaven’s
Throne
Against the Holy
One
At first this cloud
Merely a slight stench
But
Today,
There is a mighty
Fist clenched
Around the throats
Of man
An evil hand
Works against the sons,
Daughters of man
Worldwide
Grown stronger
Only because we
Have lingered
To listen to its voice
At its gates longer
Than we should
Telling us we
Are only physical
Only the natural
Exists
This naturalism
Fighting to form
A schism
Between man
And His Creator
It’s goal
Is to destroy
All efforts
To acknowledge
Man has
a soul
Eternal, unending
Ageless
To Smear, slander
God’s holy family
Point out its flaws
Of which it has many
Still under Christ’s hand
It struggles forward
At His command
To love His world
So the great destroyer
Entices
Uses our vices,
To draw man in
To this ancient battle
satan knows
he cannot win
destroy everything
spiritual
a worldwide campaign
in a sense
literal
using our worldly
lusts
those great two
Money, Power
as the world
spins toward
a darker hour
powers that be
are blinded
cannot see
they are being used
& very abused
to try to bring about
a kingdom’s
end
As I glance upward
To the skies
Using our greatest weapon
A prayer begins
Within my heart I cry
As the battle around me
Intensifies
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.”
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!
Judgement
Death comes to all
Separation of our spirit
From the flesh
Instituted by our fall
From His grace
Turned out of a
Paradise
And away from
His face
However, God
Still desires
Into His kingdom
everyone
To come
His planet
Even now awash in
His love
But there will
Be a day
Christ did say
When He returns
To light the way
To His
New Earth
A separation
Will occur
The Sheep,
Those he will keep
In His love
But with a Holy shout
The goats
Will be thrown out
Into the darkness
Where satan awaits
Between the fiery gates
It is your choice
To either praise, worship
& rejoice
In your
Creator/Father/ God
Do it now,
While among the living
do the giving,
Loving,
Sacrificing
do not be
caught unaware
do not miss
your share
of His Paradise
Choose to go the
Right way
In this you do have
The final say
Do not reject
Your God
He never rejects
Any feeble start
So !TODAY!
Do not harden
Your heart
