Soft and subtle Until it isn’t Then it rears its Ugly head To bite you Swallow you Whole Wishing to make you Only dead
satan’s darkness Works like that Starting with only angry Complaints Working undercover Until it completely removes All restraints To fully destroy you
So they did with Christ At first, Only anger’s hatred Until the evil within man Fully exploded Trying to destroy Someone most sacred God Himself!
At His last supper On this green planet He urged his true followers Of many things To love each other, Honor His blood and body With powerful words With Holy truths His words did ring
Until at last Men with clubs Came to gather Him To his accusers In only heartbeats They would soon be His Physical abusers Of all these occurrences Christ was already knowledgeable Knowing His Father’s will was Eternally indomitable Walked into their death trap And did it always and only To save all of us, me And of course, You!!
Holy Week A week like no other Man will ever see Heaven’s Holy Light Chose to walk, Talk with us Die for us Give us The chance to Do the choosing Between
Choosing between what You say? Between good and evil Heaven and hell Death and life God's peace or Man's evil strife Satan's narcissistic destruction Or God's sacrificial love
Behind whose back You choose to follow In whose steps You wish to walk Remember, One way rings false, Only hollow The other leads To a bliss filled eternity Full of nothing but God's peace To be eternally protected by HIS LOVE'S DIVINE SECURITY!!
Triumphal entry Fit for, Worthy of only a King Words of HOSANNA! Forever thru All the ages Will they, must they ring
Palms before your feet Were laid in praise From among the crowd, Children's voices were raised And if they had not Well, Then even the rocks Could not have been stopped From singing Your Glory!
So thank You, Lord Jesus For stepping into Our violent, cruel history With each step Each word Each drop of blood You declared your victory And thankfully, blissfully The world will never Be the same again!!!
Easter
White rabbits & chocolate bunnies
All those warm, soft fuzzies
Pastel eggs hidden in green grass
Until a happy child makes
A joyful discovery of them at last
With loud, sudden squeals of delight
What a truly pleasing sight!
All dressed up in clean, bright clothes
All done for this day’s special show
Soft ribbons in the hair
New shoes, polished, & on the feet
& goodies that will not long
Be allowed in a basket to keep
Nothing wrong with these simple delights
God does not mind us
Enjoying all his blessings
But with many of these gifts
May also at times come a terrible testing
This day of Easter is really
About a sacrifice
Not to be forgotten
For all our joys & pleasures
Came at the cost of another’s life!
A bloodied cross, a broken body
An empty tomb
God’s love on display
Brought about all of the
Joys & pleasures of this day
Made us once more
Welcome in Heaven
Brought us back into
God’s loving arms
Safe at last from all of
satan’s cruelest harms
So on that most glorious day
Our eternal souls were saved
As Christ stepped back out
Into a world He owned
Eternity’s power rolled back
That oh so heavy stone
So you too will be saved
to step into His glorious garden
From your own emptied grave!!
Destiny
Glory shattered on a tree
But only temporarily
Lifted upward into an azure sky
Why oh why does this always
Give me the urge to endlessly cry?
Because,
It was perfect love on display
Selflessly giving itself away
And for us fallen creatures
His creation’s men
Did it only so a pain-free home
One day we would be allowed to win
Jesus dying in a horrible agony
Lifting His face to His Father’s Heaven
And seeing into this earth’s future
Thought of only you and me
With that last beat of His Loving Heart
Creating for us a higher, purer destiny!
Solace
A world in chaos
Precious souls torn
To pieces
satin's influence without
Restraint
Where is safety?
Only in One Name
Comfort, comfort
My people
You have said before
Today we could not need
You any more
Come, Lord God,
Come
This Easter weekend
We celebrate your death,
Burial & glorious resurrection
To save me from
My imperfections
And our great fall,
Our horrible defection
Away from Your Grace
So thank you
Lord God
For the precious blood
That was shed
Running brightly red
On that one & only day
That brought to us
Through a cruel cross
Your Solace!
