Exposure So I will lay myself Bare I do not care If they stare If a glimpse into My soul Will bring them Into your fold then God, Let it be If looking into My heart Will get them to Start Seeing you better If it be ever so clever Of You to begin then may You win them on their journey closer to your Son bright, blazing glory of your face joy unbounded found only in the grounding of each soul in your great power and self!
Divisions Divisions, divisions In a Sea Of Faces Never meant To be We were Meant to be All one As The One, Father, Spirit Holy Son Joined together In the perfect dance In one glance You can see This world’s Ultimate Unity! So, it does Not make sense For God’s family To be so divided For this there Stands no defense A church, family divided only Hurts itself Taking away Not adding Leaving all Bereft of the Fellowshipping Love, Joy especially the Peace Steals the Equipping Meant for us So, Holy Family God’s one true Church Tear down the Walls Those horrible Divisions Never meant To be And we will See. . . Heaven!
Ephesians 4:3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.
1 Corinthians 1:12-13 What I mean is this: One of you says, I follow Paul; another, I follow Apollos; another, I follow Cephas; still another, I follow Christ. Is Christ divided?
Existence My heart beats My lungs breathe I can laugh, Play, Savor the day I exist My thoughts are My own In my head They have found A home Within to rest Put me to the test Will I or won’t I Do this or that I can hear these, My thoughts For you see This is the real You and me A living breathing Spirit, soul Only temporarily, For now Attached to this mortal shell Given a chance to grow Get to know The One who runs The universe And beyond, Transcendent, With His Son For one day He Has promised He will come This living, breathing Son Shining in all His splendor This wonderful Giver Of our Life This gift of Our Existence!
My Debts Up to my eyeballs in debt I sigh I moan I truly, deeply regret What I have done To myself No one else to blame Oh, the embarrassing shame! Oh, what I cannot claim Of wisdom Loud commercials Made it seem so real Oh, their endless appeal So, I got sucked in By the alluring din Of a greedy world So now I am an endless slave This I can mostly certainly say Onward I go Trying to show A new confidence I slug away Each morning, new day At the mountainous debt Trying to correct This wreck I’ve made of my life I know it will end And I will never, ever, Ever again spend Myself into this death march toward another fresh & open financial grave
Probably not such a good poem for this time of year, right before the biggest gift giving holiday, but still timely I hope. Remember it’s only one day out of the year. Remember God loves you and wants only the best for you and your family. Have a blessed and peace filled day!
Revolutionary’s Sounds Whirling, twirling Swept up into the air Revolutionary sounds Were everywhere, all around Ignored they were But they were heaven’s cure For what was wrong Within the songs Of man For all our evil, Corruption unbound, Still they refused to see What God had pleased To send them So only a few listened To the man on the cross Ignoring from his lips The purest, shining gloss Of a revolution’s sounds Bringing words of Great worth Love, joy, peace To His earth Heaven’s purest, pearls Our souls He did seek And so Christ did die On the very rocky ground He had created Our God, Alone and bound But still left behind For those who choose The fiery, purest joy of His Revolutionary’s Sounds!!
