Warmth

Jesus’s powerful presence and love can fill your heart and spirit like nothing or anyone else can. Nothing else on our earth can satisfy your deep spiritual, emotional needs like He can, and He wants to do that eternally and forever. Praise God!


Warmth

Warmth fills the air
Pure gold
A white clad throng
They part
I stare

You come 
Walking
through the middle
No one makes a sound
Toward me 
You extend a hand
You smile

Your radiance,
Dear Christ,
Warms me 
To my bones
And
Within Your smile's
Warmth
Lies my forever home!

A New Mercy Seat

A New Mercy Seat

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!!

Turning

Turning

Turning,
Turning
Our whole planet
Always turning
Night to day
Day to night
Light to dark
Darkness to light
Always on the move

Even this our very selves
As on this moving world
Constantly do we dwell
Each an eternal spirit
Moving, turning through
Each day
To the left or
To the right
Toward the dark or
To the light

Turning to God’s perfect love
To fill your spirit from above
Or 
To the darkened concept
Of the narcissistic self
One leads to destructive death
The other to an incomprehensible
Wealth
These two sides to life
We seem to have been dealt

But the choice is yours
Turning to one side or
The other
To destroy or to lift up
Your sisters, your brothers
So that as through our lives 
We’re turning along
Only to one of these
May you ultimately belong

Not By Yourself


Not By Yourself

Church is not just
A nice social tea party
It's not a game
It is where you go
To declare your belief in
The Name

You have an enemy
Wishing only to destroy
To kill, rob, steal
All of life, 
Even your very last joy

You know who I speak of
satan is his name
Pain, dark destruction
Is all and only
what he seeks to gain

Not by yourself
Can you wage war
Against him
Only Your Lord & Savior 
Stands in between
From heaven's throne
His love's grace, light
Powerfully streams

So call upon the Name 
Of Jesus Christ
And
Watch satan, his demons
Scatter
Into the dark winds
Take complete flight
For it is a most wonderful,
Overwhelming sight
To watch our eternal King
Into each and every life
Bring all of His Power,
And His Glorious Might!

Praise You, Lord Jesus
Praise You!!

GOLD

GOLD

More precious than gold 
So the story is told
Red blood that dripped
Upon the ground
Falling from beneath heaven's
Most Golden crown

You transcend the lines
Where death and life begin
And end
Christ's demise on that 
Piece of wood
Was God's own voice
Shouting
His love's forgiveness
From then on
Daily to earth does He send

So partake in that one Purest,
Truest Gold
That from a royal head does flow
Never settle for the world's imitation
Accept Christ’s sacrifice
Step through the gates
Into God’s One True and
Glorious Holy Nation!!

Caught Up!


Caught Up!


Caught up in you
Not just watching
Or carried by your side
But caught up
Inside of you
Longingly I sigh
Please do not pass
Me by
In the moment 
Of that breath
I know the best 
Of life waiting
for me yet
Is to be caught up 
Into the richest, deepest crevices
within Your heart's depths!
