Yay!!

Yay!!!

Yay Jesus
Yay!
You did it!
You did it!
You overcame death
Gave a place for
Our heads to rest
Within your Kingly palace
To give us hope

For a better day
So in a far better home
We could be allowed to stay
In your heart's eternal accord
OF PEACE, YOUR LOVE'S MERCY
FORGIVENESS
The forever loss of 
Any of these 
None of us can ever afford

Most beautiful day of the year! The day our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ rose from the dead and gave us the chance to be forgiven and live with Him forever in His Paradise. Praise You Lord God, praise you!!

Inexplicably Bound!


Inexplicably Bound

Inexplicably bound
To You
Body, soul, heart and mind
No longer caught up
In the limits of
Space, matter or time
Oh, what a gift!

All of
Your Purity, 
Your Holiness
Your Kindness
Goodness
Love
Your Great Sacrifice
To be born here
Made out of dust
Just like us

To die in
Such pain
Agony
Suffering
Us with Your 
Grace, Mercy
Forgiveness
To be covering

Praise You
Lord Jesus
Praise You

So, Lord God Jesus
Easter's week is all
About You, Your Glory
As written in Your
Most Holy Book’s Story
As You stepped
Out of Your grave
(In all your Glory's
Holy Might)
For all, each and every
Human soul to save!!

Haiku for a Sunny Spring Day!

Today in Middle Tennessee it very cold but oh, the sun is out so bright. It at least looks very beautiful. It had been fairly warm for this time of year so a lot of the flowering trees are already in bloom and a few buttercups were out. I just hope this short cold snap doesn’t damage all the small flowers. Anyway, it is pretty outside. I just wanted to share a quick Haiku below with you. May God bless your day!

Haiku for a Spring Morning
(even though it’s very cold)

Spring’s sun warms the earth
Christ’s love lights the darkest soul
God’s great grace fills both!!

VICTORY!!

VICTORY!!!

After the quietness,
satan’s victory dance
Over His grave
In the stillness of the
Morning’s freshest dew
And in the richness 
Of God’s plan 
His whole world to renew
Nothing ever seen before
Occurred

God in the flesh
Stepped out of His 
Now emptied grave!

As the ground shook
The stone was rolled away
An angel came to sit
In all his glory 
Christ stepped out
To take control, full sway
Over all of creation
Once again
He came to claim 
His VICTORY!!

To show satan for all eternity
He was defeated
Only God has the last word
Death now eternally cheated
As Christ stepped out into 
The garden
He declared that forever
On His glorious throne
Again would He be seated

Came to save us from
An infinity of hell
Evil, darkness, condemnation
Hearing its funeral knell
To give mankind its share
In heaven’s perfect life
This is what His Resurrection
Was meant to declare!

But all this is left up to you
God will never force or coerce
Wanting you to joyfully give
Your heart out of your own choice
So you may own, shout in your own voice
Your VICTORY!

Silence


Silence

Silence
An absence of sound
The rocks have split
Upheavals have shaken
The underfoot ground
The sky has blackened
And at last cleared
The city in a festive mood
It hears people raise a few cheers
But still they do not see, 
They have not understood

Followers, disciples
Huddle in a locked, darkened room
Not knowing what comes next
If at tomorrow, will that be too soon?
Or will today be their last breath
They try to comfort one another
Hoping to stave off their own death
As a few women in the corner
Continue to weep

Prayers are raised
But God is silent
He has already said all
He had to say
It happened on the night,
Of His son’s birth
And at last
The last day of His painful, 
Tortured life on this green earth

So get used to the days of silence,
They serve a purpose
To you, can actually be of a
Deeper service
Learn how to wait, trust
Even when you don’t hear God’s voice
See His Almighty hand closely at work
For us, this could be life’s hardest choice

Death

Death

Death
A word we
Have all 
Come to fear
For loved ones it 
Can most certainly
bring forth their tears

But
It was conquered
Praise You,
Lord God
Lord Jesus
For setting up 
Your plan
To save the only
One in your image 
Created 
Your man!

Saved by
The Prince of Peace
On an agonizing cross
He suffered, died
As His friends, mother
They saw and all did weep
But did it only for us all
Our eternal souls
To keep

So today while you
Still have the chance
Remember Christ’s Holy Glory
The agony He endured
Only to insure
That you too could step
Out of satan’s pit of hell
Emptied out of your own
Grave
Now it’s your time to turn
And of his death, 
Resurrection others to tell
So they also may rejoice
With one rising crescendo’s 
Voice 
To praise God the Father for 
The Son’s rise
On that ancient but 
Most Glorious Easter morning!!
