One Cross That cross upon a hill Reminds us in lonely words Still Of a dying sacrifice Every day while here He walked, talked, cried Then spread out his arms On a piece of hard tree To die For us to justify Only that one cross, Although there were Many others, Turned us into closer Sisters, brothers So, listen to the words It still whispers Wreathed in a blood so red Allow its words within To ring out, Out loud to be said Found spoken on that tree Some of the most important words Ever intended for Everyone’s life They will surely suffice Of, A loving Christ’s purest & most noble sacrifice!
Dissipation (melting away) My shell will dissipate Allowed no longer To participate At this level The real of me At last, will be allowed to see My Lord, God, finally Will I with you be To be lifted up On wings of bliss O’ my soul Of this I care not to, Dare not to miss Living in your light Clarity, love & might To know fully As I am fully known All will be exposed At last, your truth shown By You, God, To be eternally owned All this, from before my eyes Will no longer be withheld!!
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!

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!!
