Hand to Hand

Hand to Hand

Imagine. . .
This large open plain
A massive battlefield
Where today in another war
Many demons yet might I
Still be forced to kill

Thick helmet on my head
Chain metal on my chest
Finally I step forward
Serving my Master’s undying quest
To bring home the lost

A great dark enemy’s army
Gathers in this earthly field
Hoping to devour
And my most precious faith
Longing to at last kill

But we have a Living, Risen KING!
Upon our dusty clay
Did He with human feet
Sleep, cry and trod
This our Holy, Beautiful,
ALMIGHTY GOD!

So take heart
The battle is not over
Onward it still rages
As written within
A Holy Book’s eternal pages
And for us the best of news?
God wins, Christ wins
His Spirit all evil will subdue
And if you so choose
Saving us, I, we and you!!

The Reach

The Reach

You had to reach down
So very, very low
Because
At times life to us can deliver
Such exceedingly cruel blows
AH,
But the joy at seeing your face
Come to save(as always)
I reach up for
Your hands full of
Your overflowing grace!

So hold your breath
Get ready
Christ remains always steady
Dependable, ALMIGHTY
Wait and you will see
Your Refuge, our Rock
Our Creator LORD
He will enable all believers
In Him once again to soar
Above this world's chaos
Pain, suffering and loss
Even though it may come
For you at a great cost

But you can rely upon HIM
To eternally win
Our Immortal souls,
Us in His forever love to keep
As in His Paradise
We will all
Dance joyfully
In the Light-filled Glory
At His Feet!!

Praise You
Lord Jesus
Praise You!!!

Does Not Matter


Does Not Matter

I will not listen
I do not care
So go ahead
Spit your ugly words
Out into this darkened air

I have a Holy Savior
Jesus Christ is His Name
You no longer
Have the power
To cause Him any pain

He now sits enthroned
Above this swirling globe
For you see
All my sin
With His royal blood
He most joyfully atoned

Today it does not matter
How much evil you
Spew forth
For as my tiny life
Winds down
Runs out its only course

I choose Christ
On Him I set my sights
He is the greatest
Lover of my small soul
Even though
You may seek
Upon me to take
A deadly toll
Against HIM
You always lose!!

Of You


Of You



More of You

And less of me

Less of the angers

The hatreds

The greed



To empty myself

Of all worldly lusts

Waging war

Themselves

Into my heart,

Battling,

They thrust



With their painful swords

They slice

Fighting to cut

heaven's cords

But your hands

With Your love's power

Your strength,

They shower



Your fingers

Around my soul


Entwined

Reaching deep


No satanic, hellish

Demons

Can ever reach



So that is why

Every day

I must repeat

As I work, play

Walk or sleep

Not I but You

In me that lives

My salvation

Dear Christ

You protect

And into eternity


You keep!

Abandonment


Abandonment

Abandonment
A very big issue
Today
In homes
We abandon each other
Spouses, children
God never intended
For each to suffer
Such
At the hands
Of one another

Core issue is,
Of course,
We have abandoned
The Book
God's Book
We have forgotten
Rebelled
No longer into
It's guidelines
Deeply look

For when you
Abandon it
You abandon Him
Lord, Master, Creator
And
Writer
Of His Book
On which
With all our strength,
Souls,
We should
Have stood

So let us return
In this country
Still fairly young
To our first
greatest love
Words in
Black and white
Literally flowing
From above
Telling of Christ,
GOD'S
Glory
And His Paradise's Story!

Praise You
Lord God
Praise You!
