Unstoppable
Uncontainable, unstoppable
You will raise the dead
Re-create, remake
Reinspire our dulled
Universe
Even the leaves, the grass
Will praise your name
All creation will shout
For joy
As we watch the work
Of Your Hands
For you are coming
To return
Everything to its
Original
Being
A new body for us
A new world for
You to rule
All creatures, creation
Will return to
Its beginning purpose
Of rejoicing,
Basking in the
Beauty You have always
Wished to share with us,
Yourself!!
A Living One
You pass me by
Stopping, coming
Closer
Than expected
Your beauty on display
You feel like
Living electricity
The tingle filling the air
Around your face
And being
You glisten, shining,
You literally sparkle
With yourself
This living Power
You are surrounds
The air around you
And I bow to worship
My God
Creator, Maker
Lover of all souls!
Birds, suns
The stars rejoice in
Your Presence
You are our Life!
Your Universe is awash
In your glowing powerful
Life, Self
With every heartbeat, breath
May I praise Your Name
In the foreverness of your kingdom!
In life’s dark moments
God’s glory shines the brightest
Destroying all fear!
Fire-Breather
(not a circus act)
Fire-breathers of old
Breathing flames into the air
From between the lips a fuel’s mist
Daring a miraculous feat to share
With an audience
Waiting, holding its own breath
As they watch these brave performers
Be willing to risk their very death
To entertain.
But there is a real
Fire-breather
Needing nothing but Himself
His Own power
To drench us within
The shower
Of His love and glory
Fire from on high
A God who reaches
Down
To envelop us
From beyond the skies
To live Within His fiery
Glorious
Life
All of heaven calls his Name
From Generation to
Generation
He is the same
Always wanting to share
His Holy Fire
Reaching down from
Heaven’s spires
To live, burn within us
His Holy children!
So, catch the flame
Pronounce His Name
From between your lips
Allow the fuel,
God’s Spirit
Your allegiance, very breath
to claim.
Holy Santa?
Warm, fuzzy & cuddly
Nothing wrong with that
Except
Depends upon who you’re
Talking about
Older man in a bright red suit
Well-endowed middle
And a long white beard
You know of whom I speak
Without having to take one peek
Gift giver
Jingle bells
I don’t have to tell
Except I will,
Santa
Jolly and fun
Face beaming like
The sun
Man’s perfect idea
For a god
Except Santa
Is not real
I hate to burst your bubble
But I feel
You already know!
Only God is God
Good giver of gifts
But He wants to lift
Your life higher
Wants more for you
Than material wealth
Or to give only toys
Desires for man
A truer, higher joy
Purer, less selfish life
Fashioned along the lines
Of His Own Mind
Pertinent to any time
You may live within
So, God is
Warm, fuzzy & cuddly
All of that
But
Let’s not fashion Him
From a legend or fable
HE SAYS He is able
Powerful, capable
Of so much more!
There You Are!
(only a glimpse)
Fully awake, suddenly
No longer asleep
Deep, velvet blackness
Is all I can see
Then a spiral
Clouds of purest white
Appear in a distance
I give only a glance
Then it happens
I’m at your feet
Blinding light envelops
My breath I cannot keep
I feel your power
Why for me this shower?
Glory on display
Brighter than any sun’s day
Rainbow colors
Bright hues
Dance, move madly
Dancing to their own tunes
I try to turn away
But by your hand I am stayed
I take a second Glimpse so brief
But suddenly I am released
And I am back
Inside my body
Thrust back into my world
I have been hurled
Back into the merely physical
But Oh, the glory I did see!
Such other worldly beauty
Of all strife and pain is free!
