Obedience

Obedience

Loving Savior
On a throne
Promising me
A forever home
With you

At the end of time
When I see your return
Of obedience by then
For me to learn
will be too late

On that fateful night
Hours before your death
You intertwined within
Your last breath
Love and obedience

For my sake
You stated if I love you
I would obey you
This was done always
To recreate, make me anew

A sign of my love
until Time’s end will be
To follow and obey
You and your Father’s
Words if a final victory
I desire to see

At that last hour
Before your Holy Throne
I will be granted
A new heaven and earth
Eternity will be shown

In a new life, new world
With no pain
But only through
My love for you
And with obedience
May I obtain
The glorious experience
of a walk within your Beauty
forever

The Trickle Down Effect

artfortrickledown

The Trickle-Down Effect

Life it seems
Does not flow
From Down
Not of the ground
Life’s love flows from
Up above

It is the
Trickle Down Effect
Giving, leaving us
With no reason to regret
Following its
Lovely siren call

God speaks, I listen
Trying to articulate
A few certain words
An effort to follow
His greatest Passion
For His voice to sweetly
And simply be heard

The deceiver may come
Try To intrude
But let me most assuredly say
Satan’s voice with
Love for man
Is never imbued

So, if from Heaven’s
Throne
You hear you name called
Or perhaps whispered,
Listen close with both ears
His voice will always save
From many of life’s falls

Fiery Steeds

Fiery Steeds

Fiery steeds
Hard hooves thundering
Through the ethers of
the unknown infinities of
Dark skies surrounding
Our small home

They neigh, shake their
Heads
Impatient to be about
Their task, this
Mission, assignment
Falling to them
Through the fingers
Of power

With a blazing inferno
For each wing
Aroused by your passions
They fly, soaring toward
Your recreations
Tearing through the darkness
On burning winds

With each movement
Winds roar
Stirred by their powerful
Wings
Planets, stars, galactic bodies
Whirl, spin out of control
As they pass

The old is burnt up
Passed away
Seen no more
For one brief moment
Heaven’s business stops
Silence reigns
You pause

One shining crystal tear
rolls down your cheek
falling into the now empty
blackness
it hardens, becomes solid
icy at first, soon it
softens

forms a rounded ball
your new earth now
sits solidified in the place
you have just chosen
to begin afresh

placing your obedient
children
on the face of their
new home
they rejoice, singing with
shouts of Joy!

The old order is out
The New is In!
No more death, pain,
Suffering
No more evil!
Satan is gone, defeated
Eternally!

Praise God for His Love
Rejoice in your New Place
An earth recreated in
Fresh newness!

But do not forget the
Warning
Heed the heated winds
of destruction
surrounding the arrival
of God’s fiery steeds.

Battleground

Battleground

Battle trumpets blare
Blasting out the warning
He is coming, He is coming
The LORD is here,
HE is here!

His world obeys his call
Rejoicing in his presence
Trees sing, the lion pauses
In his hunt
Rocks leap from the ground
In joy!

Mighty angels
Fall to earth
Shaking the ground
at each step
GOD has arrived
Our Warrior is here!

The ancient enemy
Of man
Satan
Will be defeated for
All infinity!

The battle rages on
And on
It still rages even
Today
Will you not join
God’s army?

Abounding in love,
Mercy, forgiveness
His POWER
Protects even today!

Do not sway,
Do not fear
GOD is
Always near
Closer than any brother.

Strange it may seem
That it may be
Possible to fight and
Enter GOD’s rest
As you struggle.

HE will always be
At your side
To teach, encourage
And guide
Never leaving all HE
LOVES!

And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 7maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”
