Two Sides to Each Coin
Two sides to our God
Both beautiful to see
One and then the other
Each
Yet completely necessary
Flip Him over
Both sides blindingly brilliant
& equally significant
Neither to neglect
In this way, we peruse
His totality to inspect
Yet today,
Many teachers
Supposedly of The Way
Prefer over the other
Only one
Disregarding His Being
His Total Sum
Teaching,
Wanting the blessings
But leaving out obedience
Ignoring in His book
All written evidence
His is Master
& Our Judge
So,
Polish up both sides of
That coin
Bring both sides to a
Sparkle
And accept both sides
Of His intensely loving
Gospel
Above is the below poem set to video and music. It’s also on my youtube channel at https://youtu.be/l3K1XIiPDXU Hope you enjoy. Have a blessed day and Praise God!
Winds
Winds of heaven blowing
Falling to bless
Rising back on praise
Turning eyes upward
We gaze
With hands upraised
In giving we receive
God needs nothing from
Man
Unselfishly He sends
To all if they choose
His gracious, loving winds
Meant to teach, uplift
Souls to transform, win
For us this is His glory’s gift
And in those winds at times
So powerful, so swift
received even thru stormy skies
Thunders the promise of
His Infinity’s Gracious Paradise!
I Love
I love Jesus of Nazareth
Why you ask
Because,
Orphaned as I was,
Alone only He
Performed the task
Chose to love me
When no other’s love
Could I feel or see
So out loud I try to say
His Name
In the chaos of each, my days,
In the midst
Of all the scoffers
I only wished
I had said His Name
Even more often
Such a joy does it carry
I hope never to grow weary
The saying of this Beauty,
His Name,
JESUS
Just to hear the sound
So by that speaking
May His grace
More & more abound
To each & all my sisters
& my brothers!
At Night
At night
I dream of your face
Hardly daring to believe
You would give me
This taste
Of You
Your Beauty
Overwhelming Power
Completed Purity
Such intimacy with one
Such as You
More than I, mere man,
Can ever comprehend
I pray never will it end
Praise You, Lord God,
Praise You
In golden splendor
You arrive
Settling somewhere above,
Between,
All my why’s
To Be
As You Will Be
So,
I tremble on my knees
Gratitude
Contained in tears, it falls
Again,
I tremble at your call,
But I dare not
Do not wish to resist
For this I live & breathe
Waiting, I cannot fully
Conceive
This future hope
Of your Magnificent Eternity!!
True Beauty?
All we have of any beauty so true,
Dear God,
Is always & only the great I AM
Of You
All of us, so corrupted
Our own lives we keep interrupting
With sin so calloused
Our wandering selfishness
Our greatest test
As much as we can
We need to let go
Swim back into the natural flow
Of Yourself, Your Love
Overwhelming comes Your Glow
Like the greatest of floods
Showing in the things you’ve made
In this even nature has much to say
Froom sparkling stars in the sky
To the translucent ethereal
Wings of a fluttering butterfly
The great beauty of your heart
Before you even attempted a world to start
Was what goaded you forward
Until at last we stood before you
Your shining, newly-born human child
A whole universe awash with your love
Flying, soaring thru heavenly gates above
Carried down on gentlest wings of doves
To the crusty hardened dust of this earth
Until upon it at last
Fell the blood of Your Only Son
Forever bringing to us a cherished new birth!
On Speed
Crash, crash
Thud, thud
Lives speed-ed up
Whirling around
A distracting hub
Of meaningless behavior
Don’t think for yourself
How dare you!
Especially about a spirit?
Ignore, ignore
The impertinent chore
Of believing in
A Savior!
Believe every word they say
To guide both night & day
Allow that talk show host
Over you to hold complete sway!
Until he fails to break
The enlightened spell
& you at last awake
Yourself to embrace
In your Lord/Creator
A cleaner, purer faith!
