Abandonment
A very big issue
Today
In homes
We abandon each other
Spouses, children
God never intended
For each to suffer
Such
At the hands
Of one another
Core issue is,
Of course,
We have abandoned
The Book
God's Book
We have forgotten
Rebelled
No longer into
It's guidelines
Deeply look
For when you
Abandon it
You abandon Him
Lord, Master, Creator
And
Writer
Of His Book
On which
With all our strength,
Souls,
We should
Have stood
So let us return
In this country
Still fairly young
To our first
greatest love
Words in
Black and white
Literally flowing
From above
Telling of Christ,
GOD'S
Glory
And His Paradise's Story!
A canopy overhead
People talk about
Such lovely skies
But they miss
The other
A power grows
Above
So now instead
Of only puffy clouds
Feel that which is
Growing stronger
Everywhere
As I stare
Upward
Alive, so, so powerful,
Your Presence
Filled with all
That is your essence
The Beautiful Reality
Of You
Praise You, Lord God
The light falls down
On my head, shoulders
All around
Nowhere can I go
You are not
And so I stop
Bend to the knees
So I may please
The LORD of all
Throw back my head
Fears, insecurities I shed
To worship, to praise
Holy anthems, hands to raise
Toward Your throne
Waiting, joy-filled
Looking toward
A heavenly home
Pulsating with Your Light,
Your Glory, Your Might
Forever!
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!
Do they know Lord?
Do they know
Do they even take it
seriously
Or regard it so
Casually
Nonchalantly
The despair, the pain
The hell that will be hell
Never hearing again
Your Name?
Even in your church
I fear
In eternity
May fall many a tear
As on the last day
Our rebellious indifference
Will be made more crystal clear!
It's like I was supposed
To be Yours
From the first heartbeat
Created by You, for You
And through You
To share in the Glory
The Life, the Energy
That flows from You!
Praise You, Lord God
So lift up holy hands
Join in His flow alone
That guards our hearts,
Our homes, our land
Because
Only upon Christ's cross
Can anyone ever begin to take
A firm, Eternity’s Stand!!
