Community

Community

Life is not just about me
Or you & you
It is about all of us,
This whole frail planet of dust
One large community
In this we must believe, trust

My country & also yours
Every one, small & large
Bears the terrible scars
Of an enemy’s lies

Seeking to tear down, destroy
About this he has never been coy
Plainly wishes us to end
& all his battles to win

Masquerading sometimes
As an angel of light
(he does not easily
give up the fight)
Lies, kills, deceives
All to bring us to our knees
In searing pain

Railing against 
God’s Holy Name
Before his strength does wane
As he knows it for certain will
So our joys he seeks to kill
And our salvation steal

But,
If as one we will all follow
The One whose name
Is forever above all
If we answer Christ’s call
Then assured is satan’s fall
& his power rings most hollow

So, let all believers agree to be
One united world-wide community
That standing together no matter the cost
We all will assuredly see
Our loving Christ’s glory & victory!!

Big Deal!

A Big Deal

To an orphan such
As I
One of the biggest deals
I can spy
Is 

For someone to desire
Cannot lift them higher
Than to want to be
My parent

And that is exactly 
What God, the Holy Lord
Creator
Wants to be 
For each & everyone
You are able to see

Wants to be your Father
Daddy, Papa
Wants every soul to gather
Under His wings forever
For all of eternity

No small trickle
Wave after wave rushing
Toward you pushing
Torrential flood
Of perfection’s love

So step into the flow
Take the time to 
Get to know
The One & Only God
Who loves you the most
It’s the biggest, best deal 
This world will ever see!

Victory Shout

Victory Shout

Come, Lord Jesus, Come
Heaven’s Reigning,
Ruling Son!
Give me no more 
Mournful chants
Give me instead
Your Victory Shout

satan’s hell thought it had won
As it watched the
Darkening of the sun
On a day it had plotted
To crucify God’s Son
With itself was so besotted
Sounded its own victory shout

But, 
You took one deep breath
Your glory returned
A dead, fleshly body
Once again moved
A stone was rolled
The grave emptied
As you stepped back out
Into the light of day
Your hands raised and gave 
Your Victory’s Shout!

Yes, Lord Jesus, Yes
Praise you Lord Jesus
Praise You!!

On the Back Burner

On The Back Burner

Life can feel like a hot kitchen
All the stove’s burners going
At full blast
Oh, how long must this heat
& all the turmoil last?
Juggling so many pots
At any or every cost,
Don’t let any boil over
Or all may be lost!

So we attend to what appears
To be the most important
God understands
We have demands
That every day we must meet
All those physical needs

But do not place Him
On that back burner
To avoid meeting with Him
Only He can promise success, 
Control over the other
Pots you might come to win

Put God first
And other things will
Come to fall in line
With due diligence & time
Life can be sweet
But only if you keep
Only GOD 
On that front burner!

Do Not Worry, Do Not Fret

Do Not Fret, Do Not Worry

There is no need to worry
God is still upon His throne
Surrounded by His endless glory
Resolved still to bring us home
Despite satan’s same sad,
Old & darkened story

Full of lies, murder, deceit
satan loses
For in the end,
God always wins
There is no way 
To stop Him
So do not try
It will only leave your heart
With a very heavy sigh
Of loss

satan knows getting closer
Is his eternity of defeat
That is why his cruel fury
Even greater has he unleashed
Upon our sad & lonely world

But if today you chose
This Living, Christ
Then not one single day of
Your tomorrows will you lose
In God’s Glories-filled Paradise
By His Hands given endless Joys
In the infinity of His Blisses 
To receive His endless kisses!!
