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!!
The Fortress
My fortress is 'YOUR JOY
'
Behind its stone thick walls
I rejoice
Raise hands & feet
To dance
From You, one loving glance
Incites a mad frenzy of worship
At your feet ancient angels
Take delight
In your power, beauty
Glory
The endless, eternal
Story
Unlimited, uncountable
Blessings
Flow forth for every man
From your overfilled hands
For those who choose
& refuse
To follow satan’s dark rebellion
In a story of so many tellings
he lost forever Paradise
Lives now only in cruel anger
& lies!

Temple
Let me be your temple,
Lord,
Let me be your temple
Your dwelling place
Come fill the space
Inside my heart
That Mercy Seat,
Between cherubim wings
Meant just for you
Come let me live
Anew
In your presence
Bring your shekinah glory
Back
Your very Essence
So I no longer feel
That lack,
That emptiness
Of the soul
Let your Spirit
Indwell
So again I may
Tell
Of your Glory,
Your Power,
Majesty &
Unending Love
Control me
Take me over
So it is no longer
I that liveth
But you that liveth
In me
Praise you God
For your Mercy!
Union
There is only one
Owner of this world
Accident or chance
Alone did not hurl
Our planet home into
BeingThere is a someone
Who decided it to create
Not a natural process
Of chemicals
Life’s requirements
Will ever satiateA perfect balance
Was what a universe needs
To form, to cause to be
And there is only
One Perfect Being alone
with that abilityPerfect power
Perfect sovereignty
Perfect in wisdom
Perfect in His Love
For us
Everything you see
Or touch
Belongs to Him
And Him alone
To live in conjunction
With Him was
His forever goalFor all of His creation
On His mind was never
Destruction
We were made to exist
With Him hand in hand
In perfect peace, harmonyThis is His ultimate plan
United forever, God & man,
Giving of His perfection
The Two become One
Leader
All around varieties of life
Are abundant
Diversities of even people
& not to be redundant
Diversities of ideas
Differences can be okay
But without orderliness
Structure of some kind
We put ourselves at risk
For chaos
Government, a leadership
Is needed
Organization always has
And will require
A leader
This earth is no different
Life has always been set up
To run this way
& to this very day
Good leadership is still craved
But we have always from the
Beginning
Had an excellent, the best,
Perfect even,
A One, so winning
Glorious & Shining
A living, breathing God
Creator
Around whom all
Diversities of life revolve
There could be no better
Than this One
In harmony together
With Spirit & Son
But we rebelled
As the ancients tell
So now you have a choice
To follow the light,
HIS VOICE
Or alone &
On our own
We can continue to follow
The mad disorder
Chaos & confusion
Its dark rebellion,
As without HIM
We get swallowed up
& blindly lead
To our own destruction
