My Refuge My refuge You, Lord God, Are my sacred place In You only & forever Do I truly feel safe As a lost world's chaos It's broken darkness Wildly around me spins You are that lamp That light To my soul, Your love's warmth Do You lend So take me in In the shelter Of Your loving wings Secure me For I am deeply tired Of all my wanderings & in satan's winds For me, Let there be No more scatterings. Praise You Lord God Praise You!!
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!
Destiny Glory shattered on a tree But only temporarily Lifted upward into an azure sky Why oh why does this always Give me the urge to endlessly cry? Because, It was perfect love on display Selflessly giving itself away And for us fallen creatures His creation’s men Did it only so a pain-free home One day we would be allowed to win Jesus dying in a horrible agony Lifting His face to His Father’s Heaven And seeing into this earth’s future Thought of only you and me With that last beat of His Loving Heart Creating for us a higher, purer destiny!
This Day This 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!
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!!
