Christ Coming Seated on a throne Crowned in glory Fresh from Another's new story With fire in His eyes So Holy Burning intensity In each glance Perhaps today Is your greatest Chance
Desiring, Burning the old To dissolve Turning to ash For you This is His resolve All must be Reborn Renewed
Until you step through Glorified Purified Only then can You be allowed To enter between Heaven's gates So today Do not hesitate Take the offered chance To receive the fiery dance Of the eternity living In His eyes!
Silence An absence of sound The rocks have split Upheavals have shaken The underfoot ground The sky has blackened And at last cleared The city in a festive mood It hears people raise a few cheers But still they do not see, They have not understood
Followers, disciples Huddle in a locked, darkened room Not knowing what comes next If at tomorrow, will that be too soon? Or will today be their last breath They try to comfort one another Hoping to stave off their own death As a few women in the corner Continue to weep
Prayers are raised But God is silent He has already said all He had to say It happened on the night, Of His son’s birth And at last The last day of His painful, Tortured life on this green earth
So get used to the days of silence, They serve a purpose To you, can actually be of a Deeper service Learn how to wait, trust Even when you don’t hear God’s voice See His Almighty hand closely at work For us, this could be life’s hardest choice
Surpassing strength More Than all the energy Contained Within the unseen boundaries Of this universe Super nova explode Stars are birthed Planets rotate slowly Evolving More Than if all our atomic bombs Explode You are more powerful Than the entirety put together!!
A Holy Trinity dancing Through infinity In joy, power Unseen on earth Let go, merest man,
Let your heart and mind's Soul expand!!!
I cannot comprehend Such beauty, power Coming from, having no end I am consigned to traverse Under the light of only One strong sun While in only one hand You hold creation’s totality
Perhaps that is what is meant By that old-fashioned word GLORY Ah, such wonder Amazement Perhaps those thoughts alone You give to hold off despair To keep our souls soaring!!
How do You contain Such energy Dripping from your Fingers' tips Within each thought From each word From Your lips Then I remember You use some upon Our world On us Down from heaven Is it hurled Into glowing red sunsets Overhead Multi-colored tulips Crystal spider's webs Translucent blue waters Reaching more than a mile Each act of love we perform And into the newborn child's Very first smile!!
Are you really Willing to die? Let go of it all? For an illusion? Something I cannot See? Something I Cannot touch?
But you say it Is the truth This is indeed Most acute! Is this how Your mind You wish to soothe?
An unseen God A Holy Savior A spiritual level to life? To save us from what? I will admit There is much chaos Afoot Everywhere much cruelty Pain suffering To find all of that No one would really Be at all hard put!
Maybe you are right Perhaps I should be more Contrite Learn to let go So I too may know The Spirit's burning fire, Joy, the Privilege To pick up my cross And follow Him His paradise to win To lose myself And for the living Christ Become a martyr!!
We have had some beautiful, warm weather for this time of year, up into the low 70’s this week. I managed to find some time to ride my bike on our river’s greenway system and take a few pictures. It make you really, really wish April and May were already here. May you have a blessed day and praise God for his goodness in allowing our world to be such a wondrous place!
Calm Before The Storm
You seem so calm and Mostly quiet Only sounds of water over Rocks Make me at water’s edge Delight to listen, stop
No fresh young sprigs of Green None on delicate limbs Yet to be seen Today’s sun seems but A ruse No matter how strong Its rays No matter how profuse
No strong spring’s chatters No multiple birds’ voices Yet to be gathered But For today, the sun does smile On this happy watered mile Crystals shards of light Fill a gently rolling river
But do not fear Soon I’ll see a world Once more filled With all the noise and Joyous colors As spring’s breezes Again allow my senses To be completely thrilled!!
A new covenant A new mercy seat To make us more whole Ever more complete With arms outstretched This resurrected Christ Promises us new life
Long, long ago During a desert journey So arduous Our Creator/God Reached down With Holy Hands So glorious To lift us up Toward Himself
Creating a Golden Ark of His Covenant Between cherubim wings He placed a Mercy Seat Atop it It would be for His people Of His Love, GLORY, Presence A strong deposit
But with Today's Newest covenant God's Presence Comes alive A Living Resurrected Christ, His new Mercy Seat, To recreate in us A new heart, new mind, A completely transformed Resurrected life!!
