Transcendence
Transcendent,
Light gathers in the air
Around you
Everywhere
Nothing left untouched
Bringing Life
Glorious, Bright
Destroying strife
Filling with your Peace
Come, Lord Jesus, Come
Come God’s Only Son!
I look toward your skies
I try
Then sigh
Alone I cannot transform
This earth’s constant
Storms
Only you can
Change today
So, I will say
Take me,
Break me,
Leave me yours alone!
by Hazel Straub All creation responds to the voice of the Lord. The trees clap their hands, the stars sing, and the mountains and hills have shouts of joy. Those redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, have even more reason for shouts of joy, in exaltation to the Lord, from a heart of obedience! […]
Heaven – Not a Location
(A Someone)
Written in holy lines
Inside an ancient guide
Are words that tell,
Almost sigh
Of another place
Heaven
For all who follow Christ
Loyally
We are most assuredly promised
Joyfully
Of this certain reward
For after death
All will exist on a different
Level
To our carnal senses, I know,
It seems most
Incredible
But it is genuine
However, consider
If not for the presence of
Our Creator/Lord
Heaven would be just
Another place of pain, struggle
Not as is written,
Our great Reward
To me, heaven is not
A location
But a SOMEONE
GOD
Is the kingdom of heaven
The pearl of great value
So when Christ said
The kingdom of heaven is
At hand or
In your midst
He meant: ‘Here I AM
Heaven walking among you’!!
PRAISE GOD. HE IS EVERYTHING!
LORD OF LORDS & KING OF KINGS!

When is the Last Time
On Sunday mornings
People walk thru doors
Take a seat
Hoping I suppose
To be reached
Or hear someone teach
The Good News
What is that you say,
That Jesus loves you?
For that is the truthTo be sure
He is the absolute cure
For all the world’s
Deepest problems
But when is the last time
You really looked at
Your God
Only an hour or more
On a Sunday morning
In a building
Does not really accomplish
the chore
Of getting to know
Your one & only God
Spend time with Him
In His intended Word
You will not be disappointed
Step outside at night
Away from city’s lights
Peruse the darkened skies
And see God’s glory
Billions, even trillions
Of uncountable stars
Scream out His Name
It’s been the same,
forever
All nature tells of his
Power
Within this & every hour
Of this planet’s existence
So take the time
To get to know Him
He is waiting, knocking even
To share all of His great
Power,
Beauty,
Glory
With Just You!

Watch my you tube channel at You Tube Have a great day and Praise God!
Here where I live, it is hot & humid. After riding my bike in the heat this morning, this haiku came to mind. Hope everyone has a good day. Praise God!
Culture, Culture
Culture, culture
Ringing in my ear
It’s sometimes on a day
All I can hear
Floating through the air
On radio waves
Forcing into my mind
Everything it intends to say
TV, movies, books even
Magazines
It intrudes its way in
Trying to please
The lower side of me
But by grace, I have been allowed to see
Vanity, vanity, all its vanity
So I shake my head
Loosen its hold
Coiled around my mind
Step out of the endless line
Of those being controlled
Selling out their very souls
To a world in love
With only its Self
Instead loosen that self
To fall in love with
Someone else
A greater God awaits
Holding out hands
To raise you up, to abate
All the noise of a lost,
Sad, desperate world
To rejoin you to himself
He paid in His own Blood!
So do not let the noisy flood
Of a lost culture
Destroy your Joy-filled Hope
Of an eternal paradise insured
Thru faith in our Christ’s cross!!
