Martyr?


Martyr?

Are you really
Willing to die?
Let go of it all?
For an illusion?
Something I cannot
See?
Something I
Cannot touch?

But you say it
Is the truth
This is indeed
Most acute!
Is this how
Your mind
You wish to soothe?

An unseen God
A Holy Savior
A spiritual level to life?
To save us from what?
I will admit
There is much chaos
Afoot
Everywhere much cruelty
Pain suffering
To find all of that
No one would really
Be at all hard put!

Maybe you are right
Perhaps I should be more
Contrite
Learn to let go
So I too may know
The Spirit's burning fire,
Joy, the Privilege
To pick up my cross
And follow Him
His paradise to win
To lose myself
And for the living Christ
Become a martyr!!

Warmth

Jesus’s powerful presence and love can fill your heart and spirit like nothing or anyone else can. Nothing else on our earth can satisfy your deep spiritual, emotional needs like He can, and He wants to do that eternally and forever. Praise God!


Warmth

Warmth fills the air
Pure gold
A white clad throng
They part
I stare

You come
Walking
through the middle
No one makes a sound
Toward me
You extend a hand
You smile

Your radiance,
Dear Christ,
Warms me
To my bones
And
Within Your smile's
Warmth
Lies my forever home!

Then My Soul

We are all immortal, living spirits. Created in the image of God, we will never cease to exist, and the good thing about life is that He gives you the freedom to choose where you will spend eternity!


Then My Soul

Then my soul
Raised her hands
Unbound by earth
Unlocked from land

Blew out her wings
Called by Your Spirit's
Songs
From heaven's hope
They rise, they spring

And sailed away
From off this
Darkened ground
Following
Your Sweet Voice's sound
To live forever within
Christ’s Glory!!

Of His Power

Of His Power!!

A vision was given
An impression received
Beautiful yet frightening
So clearly seen
Yet sometimes even I find it
Hard to believe

That You would honor me
With this vision
Of Your holy one
This angelic messenger
Impressed was I
Of that you can be sure

In his great power
& in silence he stood
On a cloud so white
In his full magnificent glory
And Your Most Holy Might

Beautiful,
Over his skin’s surface dwelling
Rainbow’s colors changing, moving
Of Your spirit’s beauty was it telling

His eyes full of so fierce a light
It gave my heartbeat a moment’s fright
Compelling, yet I yearned to turn away
Yet held was I & stayed

With one wink
Destroyed could he have me
Ferocious in his glory
Showing only the story
The completeness of
Your Glory’s overwhelming power

Although sometimes I think
Does it take a slightest toll
Upon the stronghold of my soul
These dreams, these visions
Yet I beg please, please do not scold
Because I have from the very start
In telling of had only best intentions
For your soul’s peace of heart

The Goal

The Goal

Christ had a goal
In many words
In His sacred book
Is this very specifically told
It was to save us

With His love, kindness,
Endurance
And
Finally, death
Was it shown
But
Also with His brutal honesty
In words sometimes harsh
Was it told

Today more than ever
Do people need to hear
Truth of our reality
Sin is still sin
Still wrong
Never a golden crown
Will we win
Without facing God's truths

In the war that rages
Around us for our souls
May we ever be honest
With ourselves, others
Win back that
Which satan stole
Intimacy with God
But only in heaven's
Complete truth
Will ever we be able
To reach that perfected goal!
