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!
How?
How do You see
Someone as small as
Me
But somehow You do
& as I gaze up at You
You smile down
I am your creation,
Your child
Launched into paradise
But by our own hands
It became quite wild
Restless, lawless
Open rebellion
Our great fall
You tell upon
The pages of
Your Book
Wandering lost
In pain
Why do we repeat
Over & over again
All that old evil
All that old same
So inside I must look
For guidance
For a better hinderance
To my lost behavior
& so, You gave me
Your Son, my Savior
Praise You Lord God!
Return to me
I will return to you
So, each day I try to follow
That my re-birth
May be renewed!!
Quietly Soft but Deadly
It may start,
(for most it does)
Quietly & softly
In the heart
Deception
Seeking reception
Into your innermost recesses
This will be your greatest test
Large numbers
Consciences so burned
They will not recognize
So it will quickly seize
Its chance to take hold
satan will try to sneak in
a foothold he lusts to win
Evil hoping to replace
The least little taste
Of Christ’s lovely perfection
The darkness says
Christ does not exist
But the strongest weapon yet
In its arsenal
To persuade you satan
Does not exist
This you must do
Go to any lengths
Use all your own
& lean on the always there
Of Christ’s strength!!

Don’t Know (demons)
I don’t know
Why you would give me
such experiences
Surely you could have found
Someone of more uniqueness
An orphan from birth
One of the least of the least
Assuredly you could have
Chosen someone less
Beaten to their knees
Demons are real
Come only your safety to steal
Roaming from another realm
Come to destroy any peace
The first was only a black blob
I suppose from all the darkness
Through the eons he had trod
Speaking Jesus’ name
Was the only way
To end the purpose
for which he came
To bring me only pain
The second attempted to
Look like our God
On a throne he sat
Extended a hand
On this one I slipped,
Trusted
He touched my lips
Next morning, I was sick
The third, well
Looking like a child
Fearful when it smiled
Trying to beguile
Teeth, pointed, razor sharp
After one look
Asked about my written book
In appearance only stark
Shade of black and grey
Only with Jesus’s name
Did it disappear
No longer to terrify
In my ear
Perhaps the most fearful
In appearance of all
A grown man, strong and tall
No color to brighten his blackened visage
I said ‘In the name of
Jesus of Nazareth, begone
Arguing replied, ‘Doesn’t work like that’
Screaming I answered
Oh yes it does,
Repeated Jesus’ name
As before all the others
He left
Running from the light
Of our universe’s Master
To hide from His glory,
His power’s might
Our Prince of Peace
Lover of our souls!
Eternity’s Most Beautiful &
Wonderous Sight!
A Daughter, A Son
We are his daughters, his sons
If your Father were under attack
Would you just turn tail
And run?
In my heart, I hope not
When they deny His Name
They abuse His Spirit
Of
Perfect Love, Joy, Peace
Patience, Goodness, Kindness
To name a few
But it is up to all of us
To me and you
An evil, destructive satan
Wants to destroy all of us
And watching the world today
He does it without much effort
Or a fuss
God’s disciples we are meant
To be
So our Father’s love & forgiveness
Every eternal soul here may see
It truly is a battle for our
Hearts & minds
So step up,
Join the front lines
Even pain-filled at times
As it might be
Because,
Without us in the war
The enemy has already won!
