I feel I need more clarity
Today indeed a rarity
In a broken world of chaos
Into which everyday are tossed
Wild words of confusion
Oh, my poor brain!
Too many harsh contusions!
Perhaps if I read the book again
Over & over, from end to end
Maybe these dark clouds
My lack of understanding
It's sweetest words would surely rend
I hope this will bring you closer
My dearest Savior
And I will try to return the favor
To go out
And with a happy shout
Inform the others
Make new sisters, brothers
Before it's too late
Because on some as yet
Unknown date
At our world’s end
Sealed will be everyone’s fate
As into His eternity
All of us will God send
It's like I was supposed
To be Yours
From the first heartbeat
Created by You, for You
And through You
To share in the Glory
The Life, the Energy
That flows from You!
Praise You, Lord God
So lift up holy hands
Join in His flow alone
That guards our hearts,
Our homes, our land
Because
Only upon Christ's cross
Can anyone ever begin to take
A firm, Eternity’s Stand!!
You Dare
You Dare
Above my head you fly
Chariot wheels to rip apart the sky
To bless my life so much
As I approach Glory’s Throne
Seeking Your love to trust
But you do
Daring the impossibles to do
My imagination’s limits you refuse
And Morning’s promise of new Mercies
Every day to endlessly, infinitely renew
Second Death
What is this I hear about
A second death?
I thought death occurred
When I take my last breath
And that is it, the end.
But now God
You say no.
For us You say
You have another goal
After all,
We are eternal living souls
Never ceasing to exist
What a wonderful surprise!
To live with You forever
In Your celestial skies
But wait, You say
I have a free will
For yourself you must choose
Follow my Son's path
His obedience until the last
For once your heart stops
& the divide between
heaven & earth you move across
There awaits a reckoning
So,
As God now stands beckoning
Choose obedience's eternal
Paradise
Because
For your rebellion's disobedience
For your second death,
Nothing but an endless Dark Abyss
Will be left
Huddling
We huddle in buildings
On one particular day
To throw a few coins
up onto a stage
Mumbling,
Sing just one more song
Hoping it won't last
Too long
Is that really
The picture
We want to paint
Of today's struggling
Church
Do we go just in case
We might need God to
Help us out of
A sudden lurch?
What's happened
To the passion,
Devotion
Of a first century
It grew rapidly,
Even exponentially
Ah, to see
That increase today!!
But
It takes courage
Putting God first
Before everyone,
Everything
So
Let our songs ring
Out loud the words sing
Into our daily actions
Out onto
The busy, chaotic streets
As other souls we meet
In our hearts
Do not let Christ's examples
Abate
As more & more
His Holy Spirit
We come to live out
& to joyfully imitate!!
All My Life
It seemed
It felt like
I was
Waiting for a Messiah
All my life
Waiting for Perfection
To end all this
earthly strife
Always I looked
Until I picked up
One small book
And I read of Your story
All that heavenly glory
Come down to earth
In a very humble birth
Born into a world
So dark
You came to re-start
Heaven in man's own heart
Praise You, Lord Jesus
Praise You
Now we have much to
Look forward to,
As we wait for You
To return, renew
Remake our broken earth
& we will be given, share in
Your immeasurable worth
And for those that do listen
With new names
Will they be christened
As all of heaven rejoices!!
