The Tear

The Tear

Don't cry, Lord Jesus
Why that tear
Does a sorrow to you 
Draw too near
I lay my cheek upon your hand
As flowers around my head
Do blend
Let me love you 
Oh my God, my dear

You lift the crystal fluid
Off your cheek
Wait a moment 
Before you speak
It is not for sorrow 
That my eyes do weep
But for pure joy
That in eternity 
Forever more 
May I now you keep!

The Loudest Shout!

The Loudest Shout!

The loudest shout ever heard
Around the world
In desperate need of a cure
For its illness
A bloodied, beaten Savior
On a cross
Trying to restore God’s favor
To His humanity so lost

It was God’s shout
Of His intense wrath
Against our sin was it about
to gather us back
from down a forbidden path
of our indolent selfishness

So listen to that shout
From a cross now heard
Everywhere
It was His final proof
To deface all doubts
Meant to instill a deeper faith
More holy, more devout
In His loving grace
Shown deeply through the
Beautiful yet human face
Of His Precious Only Child!

So, 
Do not deny it
By not listening
Of our spirits
We need a quickening
A re-positioning
To stand up 
& listen
& no longer condone
The darkness of
Our own restless sin

Why?

Why?

Why do we not see
Is it we cannot
Or do not want to be

Faithful, submissive
Obedient 
To someone greater
Than the I of me?

Hardening of the heart
To the idea of such a God
To all of life gives
Only a very false start

Saying I don’t 
Want to see
Does not change
Our Reality 

Open your inner eyes
On just the physical
Do not rely
Do not wear 
IGNORANCE
As a disguise

For refusal
A lack of perusal
Into the gracious beauty
Of Our Father/Creator!

gods of earth

Caught up in the here & now
To earthly gods we tend to lean & bow
Comfort, convenience, luxury,
Pleasure
All of these we lust after
Treasure

Let’s turn away
No longer to be fools
Controlled by useless satan’s tools
& their ever growing deceit

So, turn away
From those fragile gods of glass
As easily 
Will God’s truth shatter
The shining illusions
Coming close
Will His breath scatter
Destroy
Robbing them of their fraudulent
Joys!

To The Creator

To The Creator

What can the created
Give to the Creator?
Someone so holy
Righteous, Perfectly Pure
But yet, I will try
With each broken sigh
To fulfill that of which
You dreamed
That purpose, that destiny
Living deep within the heart of me!

Revolving

Revolving

Life is revolving
Circumstances Shifting, 
Always evolving
Which is okay
God did not mean for
Us to stay
Forever static

But what are we
To become?
Is there an answer 
To that as I run
My life’s race?
Just around what does 
My life revolve?

All existence
Revolves around
God the Son,
God the Father
God the Holy Spirit
Holding all of life
Every living thing
In their hands

Stars spin, 
Lives end & begin
Planets die off
All in tune to 
A universal melody
An eternal song
Chiming out the purity
Infinity’s bright light
In God’s love

So, join in the dance
Let Him also entrance
Your heart
Join the mighty crowds
That have been endowed
With His Grace, Mercy
Forgiveness
Let your life revolve
Around His!
