Plain & Simple
Plain & simple
Words on a page
Without faith in
That red blood of Christ
All condemned to
a darkened hell
No great mystery
This is the truth
For any to understand, to tell
From a book of truth
God warns
At times
Even at us storms
Using examples from
The world’s past
Trying to convince us
Before like a stone
We could be thrown
Into that dark hole
Greater forces
Gather gentlest voices
Trying to win, cajole
Our Savior, Christ,
God, our Creator/Father
Holy Spirit urging
From words in His sacred scroll
Loving, to also console
For His greatest goal
Is to win back each soul
Intact, in whole
Back into His Loving Arms!
Inclusive
We hear this word
Thrown around so much
Almost as if it contains
Some type of
Golden Midas touch
You must include this
You must include that
Please excuse if I seem remiss
But I do not think inclusion of
All or just the many was
Ever meant to bring us
True bliss
Love is not inclusive
Of everything
Even God's perfect love
Is not inclusive of all things
Sometimes our behavior
With His purity does not harmonize
Or always ring
He wishes to transform us
Into His Son's image
So upon our behaviors
He must place certain limits
Wishing for us only the best
So remember the next time
Someone insists you be inclusive
With flying colors will you
Pass the great test
Use God's words, His wishes
Deciding what to include or reject!
Celestial
A great army gathers
A trumpet blast will scatter
All tranquility
At its head, Your Holy Son
No enemy carries the ability
From this One to run
Each warrior is armed, braced
Swords, shields in place
Powerful & determined
Your battle plans, Lord Jesus
In Your book so holy
The words clearly do confirm and
Set forth!
So, beloved, while you
Still have a chance
As around this world, your life
You take a glance
Make sure you make the
Best choice
For to be on the right side
Of the sword
In your now, you must listen
To Christ’s voice!!
This DayThis day is
The culmination
Of all of man's history
A day so blistering
It stands out as no other
The day when our
One & Only God
Died for us
Took our place
On that cruel cross
His perfection
His perfectly pure blood
Covered our impurity
Marking that day
Most assuredly
The most important day
(For us)
Since our creation
The one that provided satiation
For all our sin's dark deviations
Solace
A world in chaos
Precious souls torn
To pieces
satin's influence without
Restraint
Where is safety?
Only in One Name
Comfort, comfort
My people
You have said before
Today we could not need
You any more
Come, Lord God,
Come
This Easter weekend
We celebrate your death,
Burial & glorious resurrection
To save me from
My imperfections
And our great fall,
Our horrible defection
Away from Your Grace
So thank you
Lord God
For the precious blood
That was shed
Running brightly red
On that one & only day
That brought to us
Through a cruel cross
Your Solace!
A Part Of
Like I was created to be
A part of your great group
Your Holy Trinity!
A smaller part
As I bend down
Worship at your knees
A gift to be like You
Should that not
My worldly values askew?
A world out of balance
So out of its mind
Tumbling along on a very thin line
Not even your angels
Did You die for
Over us Your Spirit’s healing
Did You wish to pour
To enable, re-birth
Through all the light
& darkness of this universe,
Along its massive girth
No one thing and no one else
Did You create to reflect
The goodness of Yourself
Only us!
Thank you, Dear Lord
In You only
May I completely trust!
