Screaming


Screaming

A world screaming
In my ears
Loudly,
Systematically
A world
In love with
Itself

Evil, crude
Carousing
Capable of
Many fierce desires
Arousing

Until
That light
Comes pulsating
Gently pushing into your life
At first maybe small
Then larger
Of tension
Most rife

At odds with
A world's narcissistic
Evil
Christ steps
Sometimes roars
Against
Those strange dark
Messages
Around your heart
Voraciously they soar

So,
Tune out the
Broken world
Tune in Christ
His brighter
More benevolent light
Follow His
Gentle more Holy path
And fall back into
His wonderful, less selfish
Loving Eternal Grasp!!

Idols!

Idols

Idols, Idols
Everywhere
I look,
I stare
Turning my head
I can see
Enticing, me
To Believe
In their goodness
What a mess!

You have yours
I have mine
They’re hard to let go
Hard to unwind
Most of the flesh
To understand
Not such a great test
Power, Money
Material Possessions
Sex
At time, they can lead
To extremes of regret

In love with ourselves
We run, we fume, we struggle
At times, in singles
Or often in doubles
We collect, we hoard
Then grasp
We should feel insecure
Nothing down here really
Lasts

Reach for the eternal,
A Holy Immortal God
Please, oh please
In Him learn to trust
He desires to love us!
His blessings
They can be known
So, don’t stand out in the
Dark, all alone
Reach for wisdom
And take yourself off
The idol’s throne!!

He Gave Up!

He Gave Up!

Christ did not come

To create a feel good social club

A country club atmosphere

Instead

So our black, sin-smeared

Record for all eternity

He could unequivocally clear

A glorious throne of infinity

He gave up

He came to a barn

A humble stable

Full of hay and animal slobber

Dirty, wet

So no mistaken ideas

Of wealth, lust for money

Would we mistakenly harbor

For this a light filled throne

He gave up

He came to a cross full of

Pain, agonizing torture

So with His death

A broken relationship

Between man and the Father

He could nurture

To give us, you, a Holy,

Forgiven future

For this, through ripped

And torn flesh,

His own blood

Christ gave up!

Dry Season

Dry Season

Everyone goes through
A Dry Season
Feeling without a reason
Getting drier, drier
Stress, sorrow, pain
Roaring, growing
Higher, higher

Emotions, the body
Like dry, dead leaves
Dry, dead limbs
Will this dry season
Ever, ever end?
In the middle of the dark
No answer comes
Perhaps in this
Season only is
Found true faith
In Heaven’s Only Son

In the middle of shallow waters
Full of only sludge
Life’s sharp, hard rocks
Oh, for a moment
Please, my next words
Do not me begrudge

Reach up for Christ!!

Always is found His glorious light
In the middle of our darkest,
Most wicked earthly fight
He will provide always
Sunlit, crystal shining waters
His provisions reach deeper
Every heartbeat
Exceeding all other worldly offers

You will bloom again
Christ will help you
Grow in faith through this
Dry season
No matter, the pain,
The strong wind blowing
This dry breeze in
Never will He leave you,
Never will He forsake you
God’s love is still there
Heaven still deeply, deeply cares!

Turn the Back??


Turn The Back?

I wonder sometimes
Why, Oh Why
Why so many lacks
Food, clothes, joy
But the worst
Of all, love
Could it be
Because we've turned
The back?

To
Our original purpose
Even though bought
With a bloody purchase
What have I refused you say?
To this very hour
To this very day
Man still turns his back
On His Living, Breathing God
Of any questions????
Mostly without stopping
To even ask

So perverted are we,
So rebellious
But
Fortunately,
God for us
Is very jealous
In His extreme grace
Love and mercy
Sent His son
On a great journey

To die
On an agonizing cross
Bringing us back home
Gave us His Spirit
A deep, penetrating loan
To achieve His original purpose
Never again for us to roam
Too far out of
His Kingdom's gates
So we may receive
Forever that first taste
Of standing eternally before
Our Father's Beautiful, Smiling Face!!!

Constantly

Constantly

Most people like
Consistency
Stability
For things to remain
With tranquility
Not changing
Constantly

But there is a
Constantly
More reliable
Than any other
Closer than a brother
Than your own
Heart's beats
Every moment
You may be allowed
To sit in wonder
At His feet
All you have to do
Is just look up

Christ is always there
Above your face
Your head
Glory filling the air
To fall upon your
Shoulders
All of us
We may live
As grateful beholders
Of infinity's
Greatest treasures
But for yourself
You must choose
To peruse
God's faithful, dependable
Constantly!!
