Into the OutWhy do we try
To hold within
What was meant
to be so out
Buildings were never
Meant to contain
Words powerful
Enough to sustain
An entire planet
Do we really believe
A church's walls
Are the only place
A person's soul
Can feel the call
Of Christ
It can happen
on the streets
It can happen
Where we eat
Sometimes,
Even as we sleep
So, God's church
Get out do That work
Heaven's great loss
Brought about on a cross
For us also to sacrifice
Others to save
Bring to them a better way
For our whole planet
See a completely new day!!
Everywhere
God is everywhere
Even when you breathe
He's filling that air
Not just in any one location
He's in the place you are
If you wish for a quickening
Then inside of yourself there
Must be a great awakening
But,
We must show up first
If we truly desire to see
The Living Spirit's outburst
Wherein we daily live
Completely back to God
Ourselves must we give
Put God first above everything
Let us put aside distractions
Large houses, faster cars, money
Entertainment, useless possessions
Lusts from a world so broken
Of your soul do not give
Your only Creator
Just a few small, paltry tokens
If we give Him our very best
Then God for us will do the rest
So this will be our greatest test
As first we must
Return to Him
Then He will return to us
To heal our sins’ ugly scars
No matter where you are!!
Everywhere
Brightest light in
The middle of my darkest night
Seated on a throne
Whose Spirit always roams
To seek & save the lost
Infinity's power fills
Your every hour
For joy making my heart sing
As angels voices ring
To secure your name
Yahweh!!!
Embed that name
Deep, deep into your heart
For it does impart
great power in all situations
It is to be received, reported
Out To all the nations
For their sin's abating
For their re-creating
As all of heaven's mighty armies
Stand waiting for His signal
For His powerful return to earth
To remove forever that most evil stigma
(satan’s darkness)
From all of His creation
Throughout all man's generations!!
All this Stuff – Why?
Why
do we do all this stuff?
Make all this stuff?
Houses, skyscrapers
Cars, planes, trains
Companies, Corporations
On & on our list goes
All done without once asking
If all our multi-tasking
Fits into any of God's plans
We stepped away
From You so madly
To run so many things
So badly
Now corruption seems
Commonplace so sadly
With all these wars,
Of deaths multiple scores
Each & every day
Men, women, children
Why do we not listen
To ancient words
So well-written
Of God's forever vision
For all of our lives
As down here
We spend the shortest of times
It all seems such a puzzle
If to His voice
We would just listen
And the heart's
Best impulses not muzzle
Imagine a world
Full of such wonders
No foot would ever stumble
Into a dark pain ever again
& His loving, wonderful presence
We would forever win!!
I’m Sorry
I'm sorry for what
We did to you
Holy Christ
But still we do it
Somehow in our crazy
Insane rush to sin
We crucify you over &
Over again
We ignore you
Rejecting that inner plea
To adore you
From that ignorant stance
Within only one
Darkened evil glance
We completely deny
You exist
Becoming what
Is called atheist
Oh, Dearest Son of God
When will we banish
For good such thoughts!
One day you've promised
To return
To gather to yourself
Those who've spurned
A devil's temptation
To deny your royalty
Through their attempts
To express their loyalty
As back into your arms
And heart eternally
will they all be
Gathered most joyfully!
Ferociously Wonderful!
Ferociously wonderful
Brighter in every way
Than
A million
Or perhaps dare I say
A trillion
Suns
Tirelessly
God, you work
Your Spirit
To usurp
satan's evils
So on and on You go
Trying to grab, grasp
(Even ferociously if You have to)
Our attention
So evil will surrender
And in our hearts
Take its last dying gasp
