What IS Courage
On a hill He created
With His hands
On a feckless day
& by the very clay
He had formed
Stripped bare,
He was crucified
That WAS courage
Left a golden throne
Of glory
To continue His story
Of calling us back home
Nevermore in
Satan’s darkness
To roam
That TOOK courage
On that crucial night
In history
For us, our destiny,
Was changed forever
Followers all
They left their call
Abandoned him
To that hill
Standing still
Alone
That was NOT courage
But the story was
Changed
As He arose out of
An empty grave
They rejoiced on that day
To follow His name
Most of the 12 were martyred
Terrible painful deaths
Suffered so obedience
They could claim
That IS courage!
Today there is no difference
So in holy reverence
For one so holy & pure
Who came only to reassure
Of God’s love, mercy
Forgiveness
Let us stand up
His name bless
Even if we have to suffer
Perhaps even death
That WILL BE our Courage!!
The Fortress
My fortress is 'YOUR JOY
'
Behind its stone thick walls
I rejoice
Raise hands & feet
To dance
From You, one loving glance
Incites a mad frenzy of worship
At your feet ancient angels
Take delight
In your power, beauty
Glory
The endless, eternal
Story
Unlimited, uncountable
Blessings
Flow forth for every man
From your overfilled hands
For those who choose
& refuse
To follow satan’s dark rebellion
In a story of so many tellings
he lost forever Paradise
Lives now only in cruel anger
& lies!

Don’t Blame God
I fuss, I cuss,
I spit, I hiss
I extend my claws
Without a pause
I’ll let you have it
Then down I shrink
After a moment to think
Why did I do that?
Lost control again
I simply cannot win
Control
Over this lustful, errant
Soul
Of mine
Maybe with more time?
But no
I know
That will never happen
Not in my day
Will I ever have complete sway
Who can I blame
To mind comes the only name,
Myself, me
I am the only one I see
Standing inside, beside me
So do not blame God for
Our destructive of life behavior
Nor can you blame your neighbor
He has his own evil to deal with
God holds out his light
Love, joy peace
Always within your reach
It is Your Choice
So do not keep
On blaming God
For our compliance, our nod
Toward the darkness
Can You Find Me?
Can you find me
In the rush,
The crush
Of this life?
Chaos has been unleashed
Upon the streets
Of the unseeing,
The unsuspecting.
Blinded, deluded
By one so evil
satan – darkest lord
that devil
Great deceiver
Desiring to destroy
Believers, non-believers
Us all
Thru him came
Our darkest fall
But God’s light shines
Thru each & every time
Piercing, undiminished,
Undimmed by any culture
No man or devil’s hand can
Destroy Christ’s future
He has planned
For those who love Him!
John 3: 16 – 19For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of the light because their deeds were evil.
