In A Crowd
Must I shout out loud
In the middle of this
Moving, teeming crowd
If so,
Then here goes
The main message:
God Loves You
Repent
For the Kingdom of God
Is At Hand Today!!
He is so at hand
That even now He stands
At God’s right shoulder
Just waiting
Now is our time to be bolder
As His great time approaches!
It encroaches
Upon all of human history
For it truly is the world’s
Greatest story
To gather us all back home
But unfortunately,
There are the some
Probably very many
That will refuse to listen
So among those to be saved
There will be great attrition
But today is also our day
Still are many to be saved
So use your voice, believers
Do not be silent any more
For this is our glory,
This job, this chore
To bring more back home,
So they too may also be the achievers
In God’s Love-Filled Paradise!!!
To the Core
Muddied, bruised,
Now rotted to the core
To renew, revive, re-create
This shell’s old life
Truly for us is an impossible chore
It would take a Miracle
Needed is more power
Than mere humans possess
Only hands with greatest strength to bless
Can raise from the dead
Words more powerful than mine
Would surely have to be said
Only God can revive from
From death’s deepest sleep
All and any forms of life
This earth may hold or keep
With Loves’ greatest power
Purest eternity’s showers
And our abiding Faith
No longer will death ever again
Be able to cause anyone to weep!
A Potter’s Clay
Once soft & compliant
Lying now
Resistant, hard
On a cold, sterile ground
in broken shards
pieces of shattered
clay, damaged jars
Then comes those Potter’s Hands
Warm & ready
Full of good plans
They reach out to lift
And return to brokenness
The challenging gift
Of to serve a purpose
Adding water to soften
A dried-out skin
Once more He slowly
begins to win
A softened compliance
Using His own Strength & Will
Slowly is He able to fill
Restore to a fresh new life
Each worn out, damaged pot
From the roughened, sharp edges
He may receive bruises, a few cuts
Lose some drops of blood
But in the midst of His pain
Will come forth a deeper flood
Of love, mercy, compassion
For the brokenness He repairs
So now with newly scarred hands
He removes a crusty dirt’s thick layers
Revealing at last a clean new creation
Returning to it an original beauty
& of its dark uselessness, an ablation!
Core Essence
The warmth starts
Purity enters the room
Your core essence
Enters my heart
Love, joy
Contentment
Such as I have never known
On this,
Our ball of Rolling Stone
Glistening, sparkling
Shining
Literally almost blinding
Filling me full
Imparting an evening’s lull
To all chaos or pain
Is this what it will be like
Or I suspect even better
In your forever’s paradise?
To let loose, unshackle the fetters
Of all of earth’s dark chaos?
Then come Lord God
Come now!
I lift a holy shout
Pour out your Spirit
On any & all who try to crowd
Around your feet
Attempting obedience to keep
Protect & bless
But give us strength to
Stand all horrific tests
Of the gift, this precious faith,
So freely & willingly You give!
God will come as close and be as personal with you as you will allow. Take time to enjoy His company!
On The Back Burner
Life can feel like a hot kitchen
All the stove’s burners going
At full blast
Oh, how long must this heat
& all the turmoil last?
Juggling so many pots
At any or every cost,
Don’t let any boil over
Or all may be lost!
So we attend to what appears
To be the most important
God understands
We have demands
That every day we must meet
All those physical needs
But do not place Him
On that back burner
To avoid meeting with Him
Only He can promise success,
Control over the other
Pots you might come to win
Put God first
And other things will
Come to fall in line
With due diligence & time
Life can be sweet
But only if you keep
Only GOD
On that front burner!

Do Not Let It Unnerve You
All around the voices of
Chaos loudly sing
Murder, mayhem,
Destruction’s deadly wings
The bells of darkness
Piercingly peal & ring
satan laughs as
More & more peoples
To his magic flute’s songs
Dance & cling
But,
Do not let it unnerve you
The world’s Lord, Creator
God, Yahweh is on his throne
Always in complete control
Even though we may not know
Understand, see all His ways
Same promises still stand
For each woman, child & man
Stay loyal, stay faithful
The I AM is returning
Sooner than beforeCondemned will be
The darkness’s filth
This is My Holy Will
Cruelty, all, will be laid to rest
Hold on tight, do not regress
So, do not let it unnerve you
Trust in these, My Holy Words
For all of life, do they sound true
Your reward is on its way
Earth will see its better days
My world will be re-created
Man’s pain totally abated
Cleansed of old ways, death, sin
Earth’s future greatest rewards
“I PROMISE”
Most assuredly will you win!!
