To Trim God does not waste words Nor does He mince them Away with the useless fat Of words will He always trim Saying what He means For He is unable to lie Upon His words you may depend Or someday may be required to die When He says don’t Do something He means it So forever leave it That thing & don’t do it! His words are there To bless you Although at times They will most certainly Test you But still in that deepest part Your innermost heart Allow them to caress you!
The Cell Alone And in my empty cell I try to find the words To tell Of Your Great Beauty You come to me Across a dark, dampened floor Only the light on Your Face Helping my soul to soar Over & above Whatever life’s tomorrow May hold for me in store So, Whatever prisons you Must face Only on our Christ’s Loving face Will you be allowed to trace The strength, courage You will need For your songs to sing Of this Prince of Peace This Heavenly King as upward toward His Heavenly gates He alone carries each soul On the Purest of Glory’s wings!
Divorce, Divorce Divorce, Divorce Such a slippery slimy course Icky, sticky Shouldn’t we feel some remorse? Signs of the times Mobs in the culture all cry But who put them in charge Seems almost like A ridiculous farce Shall we begin to spar? Who gets the last word Surely there’s someplace to look You say there is an older book Which answers many questions That within its black and white lines God’s Holy Spirit beckons Listen to its words So once again we may return Faithfulness, sanctity Peace, security True love back to our homes And no longer out in the darkness Will our children be forced to roam!
Listen Even above the clouds Mere wisps of white over The head Sounds arise, In low bass tones In tenor notes so high Music is constantly Sung and led Take the time to Listen Notes spiraling Circling In, among celestial skies Let your spirits fly Let them to their highest rise Above this dusty earth Walk through heaven’s Gates Again, LISTEN Angelic voices beckon As their voices Any earthly heart May awaken To join in their praise also Without restraint Saints & angels dance From their first glance At their Creator’s Gleaming face Removing every trace Of any darkness Cymbals clash Out of heavenly instruments Fairest notes constantly pass To praise, to worship On each tongue’s tip His Name will forever last So take time to listen This effort you will not regret At each note as it glistens Shining, living It reaches out to you to get To encourage you To also join in, And God’s heavenly Rewards you too may praise And for all infinity win!
Rushes Life rushes Sometimes it Even crushes Until hearts stop Breathing ceases & we see, Are released From our dulled shell To another place Us You will send Even as we Our bodies lend Back to the dust We need to prepare So our spirits May we share With Yours At last To enjoy Rejoice Infinity Only a beginning Of pure joy So I implore I ask Do not let this Forever pass Your spirit by!
A Savior S eems more & more every day Crazy holds ever growing, greater sway Over many beautiful lands A s evil seems to grow Larger & larger it shows Its ugly, abnormal face V oraciously does it run From setting sun to sun It strains to destroy each life I ncreasing in its vehemence I would be much remiss If I did not mention this O nly Christ can save our world This is not a foolish outburst Of only random, errant words R evealing the truth is His follower’s job So many may not be left in the dark to sob As He returns to save as many as He may Restoring to His purer, much brighter day!
