More than
Father, mother
Sister, brother
Friend, neighbor
Family, community
All rolled into one
This, our God's
Holy Son
We were issued
From You
Made by You
For You, through You
If not for You
I, we would not exist
Before you placed
Each one in a womb
Did You say good-bye
With a small, tiny kiss?
I think You did, Lord Jesus
I think You did
So whenever you feel alone
Unloved, rejected
Think on this
You too can share
Christ's life, His love
Be also resurrected
So remember
That one small kiss
Because waiting
Behind it,
Ah
Sheer bliss
As we join Him,
our Savior from Galilee
Becoming a part of
His eternity's family
To walk forever
To be gathered
Upon His Heaven's
Streets of Purest Gold!
Uncomfortable
This doesn't really feel like home
I rant, I rave
I moan,
Even give a little
Groan
It stirs in my blood
A longing, this need
Sometimes just a trickle
Or quite often
A loud, roaring flood
A need arises
Raises its head,
A flower's tender bud,
Then opens
Inside my deeper place
I start to recognize
That for which I hurt,
I sigh
I believe it is this,
This place doesn't fit
This world, this place
Well, it's just wrong
My heart, it misses
Dear Lord, Your face
My fingers itch, they burn
Longing to be allowed
Once again to return
Close enough to trace
Your beauty, Your love's grace
But for now I must live here
This becomes ever more clear
Until I leave this fragile shell
However, for today,
You desire others of You
I must tell
This world's pain,
Which we all daily see
Was never meant to be
Christ's Reconciliation
My Faith's Compensation
A Return to Your perfection
In silence I stand & wait
As one of your heaven's gates
Swings slightly open
Daring to call my name!
Help
You Draw near
Power of a trillion sun's
Held in one hand
Sacrifice &
Love of calvary
Within Your heart
I am not worthy
Of anything
About You
Holy Lord
Your great beauty
Incomprehensible power
Your world-shaking
Passion for us
You, the ultimate
King of all kings
Of uncountable stars,
Whole Galaxies
Wants me!!
What can I give you?
Help me then
To love You
Serve You
Sacrifice for You
Your Calvary's Sacrifice
To reciprocate
Help me to dedicate
This, my only small life,
To You!
Spirit
You dance
Enmeshed in their arms
Do you hold them together
In eternity's airs?
Ethereal
Non-corporal
Yet so powerful
Working within the heart
To bring life a new start
That re-birth
So,
Holy Spirit
Come dance with me
Fill me
Though unseen
Allow again
Another face
among the throngs
Your will to see
And as you bring
To lay at my feet
Heaven's great infinities!!
A Part Of
Like I was created to be
A part of your great group
Your Holy Trinity!
A smaller part
As I bend down
Worship at your knees
A gift to be like You
Should that not
My worldly values askew?
A world out of balance
So out of its mind
Tumbling along on a very thin line
Not even your angels
Did You die for
Over us Your Spirit’s healing
Did You wish to pour
To enable, re-birth
Through all the light
& darkness of this universe,
Along its massive girth
No one thing and no one else
Did You create to reflect
The goodness of Yourself
Only us!
Thank you, Dear Lord
In You only
May I completely trust!
What’s Happened?
What's happened to that fire?
That roaring, scorching roar
A fire so strong
Those rising flames
Redemption at its core
Sadly,
Today it sounds a whimper
That fire now burns much dimmer
Than in days of long ago
Did it seem then any simpler?
No!
then as is now
Christ never tried to
Simply please the crowds
Instead of praise
He only earned
A darkened funeral shroud
On a fateful Pentecost
A Spirit's fire was loosed
Bright, burning above their heads
Seen as to more clearly teach
Their God's eternal truths
So let's catch hold
Revive, rejuvenate those flames
Boldly denounce all worldly shames
So we may free ourselves & others
From satan's violent chains
