Pentecostal Fire Disciples, huddled In an upper room Shaking in their boots Trying to dispel the gloom Of your death Feeling only fear’s failure was left Until, A Pentecostal fire Blazed across their heads By tongues of living fire Were they to be led To stop the shaking, quaking & rise up Boldly speak Those first words of hope To preach And loudly proclaim In many tongues The life, the power Of God’s only RISEN SON!
Summer Haiku
Your inner man dies
Filling with the living Christ
this is true self-love
Before Before all time and space There was a glorious face Full of only grace Love for all He surveyed Having always the last say Over everything But, His goodness, beauty So overwhelming So always flowing Over and upward welling He wished to share it With others So the Three got together Made planets spin Stars shine But decided they had rather Make some someones A planetary home was made The darkest of night Became a day Animals, all creatures Brought into His sight Then His allowed His man to stand upright He felt such joy In this glorious child He had truly let His imagination run wild Crowned us at last With one glorious smile! Shout for joy All the earth At the glory Of this first birth But never fear, He will remove For a second time all tears As once again, The battle against Darkness He will win Return us, Back home If we choose Remember God will Never ever lose!!
REVIVAL Something needs to be Revived If it has Fallen asleep or Died Lulled into languor Or is it a stupor Apathy maybe It will take more Time to fully see In more of the wealthier Countries There is less bending Of the knee Faith in a Christ appears To be dying More & more we pursue Earth’s pleasure To receive a momentary bliss Ah, the sensation Of an entertainment’s kiss Driving forces beyond measure Revealing more & more Where are our heart’s true treasures As perhaps pure faith languishes More & more numbers show It’s almost vanishing Is there hope for it to Be reviving For this every true believer Should be sighing Return to me, I will return to you Words of God lying Available still to be reviewed In plain black ink on a page So let’s begin the work It will not happen by itself Holy Spirit let us pray That once again you will Rule all our nights & days Lord Jesus, Holy God It is only through your power & your blood that any are ever saved!!
Infinity’s Hordes I can’t explain it Most times do not Understand it Have always felt Out of step With all that goes on Around me Life flows Ordinary things Business of existing But I stand still Alone Until I look up See your face & breathe in One deep breath Hordes of angels Surround me To do your bidding I can feel it Getting stronger Lasting longer Making ready For that One Great Day Waiting for that One Last Word To GO! Now it will begin It will be the end Of satan’s sway Over earth Beginning its new birth Hordes will reassert God’s complete control Meant to correct Our planet’s daily Rotation Around a no longer Needed sun As we run Into ecstatic Joy To live with YOU Into infinity!!!
SPIRIT OVERFLOWS You touch The tip Of Your finger To Your lip Then to The very tip Of my hand’s Finger Where You let It linger For only one heart’s beat And then It overflows So that it too may grow This seed It wishes To enlarge Itself I take what You offer Fill my heart’s coffers Then silently It flows Until it reaches Down to my toes & I touch The tip of My finger Where I let It linger To another’s Your Spirit To be Passed on Another does The same So Your Most Glorious Name May be passed Finger to finger Until at last Enough It’s been passed Until no one Else remains All has been done To save Each & every one!!
