satan laughs
In the face
Of a church asleep
As the world burns
Around it
So Rise Up
Get on your feet
Jesus demands to
See it
Evil out of control
Searches
Openly strolls
In our homes
Our children's schools
So do not let it win
Today we must overrule
Its darkened evil
As we stand to defend
Our Lord's voice
So wake up dear church
Join the battle
For the most innocent lives
On this face of this earth
As Jesus returns to
Re-create, to completely re-birth
His perfected new kingdom!
Somnambulant
(sleepwalking)
Somnambulant, (walking while asleep),
We walk by
While in most of our cities
Our children lean & cry
Rivers of large tears flowing
All this pain & fear now showing
Rearing its head in lives
No longer afraid, feeling no need to hide
A black mist covers our senses,
Our hearts & cities’ walls
Deceived, most do not even know
The direction in which to call
Until,
Come, Lord Jesus, Come
Ring out those words
Only with Your power
Can we stop this deceiving hour
Of our own demise
In this land, this country
Please, Oh please, do not
Our desperate cries deny!
A chilling murder mystery set within the eclectic atmosphere of Nashville, Music City USA. Beneath layers of glamorous country music stars and professional athletes, deceit, brutality and death stalk city sidewalks all the way from Nashville to beautiful Vienna, Austria.
On a steamy day in August, a young Bible student dies from the Ebola virus on a downtown sidewalk. Close to midnight on the same day, tires screech and a young girl screams as Father Tom McClarin plummets to his death from the roof of the cathedral where he serves. Both men’s destinies have been linked forever by their mutual belief in a mysterious document. What message could it hold to cause an unseen, powerful enemy to use everything within its influence to destroy its ancient text and anyone who has knowledge of it?
Dedicated detective Hayden Douglan and Samual Thomas, a local pastor, follow the clues piling up and conclude both deaths were homicides. Struggling to contain the virus and dodging death threats to their families, their faith and courage will be tested as the investigation leads from corruption in the highest levels of the police department and the religious community to a powerful mystic cloistered behind the walls of a historic monastery near Vienna, Austria.
Wait Patiently
It will come
That Holy Son
Will return
So today of all daysdo not spurn
His loving kindnessEven as we wait
He holds open
Golden gates
To life, joy peace
They will of course
For later keep
But should we not seek
Them even now?Somehow
We are meant
& are being sent
From heaven’s royal thrones
To gather all those dry bones
Back to lifeAwake, arise church, awake!
For all our sakes
Go forward
Lead this land
Back toward Those nail-scarred hands
His paradise awaits
For this is the truest of all fates!!
Set Apart
We were meant
To be set apart
I believe this
Deeply in my heart
Different we
Should striveto be
So all the world
May see
Our Leader
His purity
Love
Light
Goodness
To this we Should run
As we struggle
To shun
The world
Sure, we have
To live in it
Love it for sure
But
We are not to
Be of it
We’re meant
To live
In a way much
More pure
Not as greedy,
Sexually immoral,
Bloodthirsty,
Selfish
These things
We should
Not be
His holy love
More giving
The world
In Us
Should see
A Holy Bride
He longs for usto be
As we wait on
Bended knees
Longing to please
Only Him
Let us win
This race
As we let go
Of every trace
Of ourselves
Let us dare
To be different
Stand out
Give a holy shout
Christ’s Name
It is the same
Yesterday, Today
Tomorrow
For His return will
Overcome
All death, pain,
& every sorrow
