Never A powerful word Never ever, ever Even more powerful words Never meant to be More powerful words
But Meant to be Was I To infinitely, eternally see Your beautiful Face My very soul to taste Your Perfection Me, This miniscule creation To dance in Your direction
Never meant to Be without you Not smart enough For that Within Your Spirit Meant to be My natural habitat Where I was So to speak, To hang my hat
So please take All of me, my mess So I may finally Progress, Transform, Become What You wonderfully Meant for me At last and Forever to be!
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
Jesus Our Holy King You are The Only One The only thing To save us From ourselves From our own Inhumanity To each other
Our Prince of Peace Each and every day You struggle, You reach To fill our hearts With Yourself Your promises To fulfill, to keep
So let us Bow low On knees Before your throne May we receive Come to own The golden glow, The whispers of Not I that live But only Christ Jesus As my life to You May I mindfully choose Each and every day to give!!
This, An unusual gate An unusual shape Formed Of two wooden beams Not entirely an Unbroken seam What's known as A Cross
On it people were hung By hands or wrists From its one horizontal rung Until No longer down here Did they exist
Left to die Against God's pale blue sky But For them it was not The end For them the journey Was it just about To begin
Their souls released To step through a gate Into eternal peace Or into a darker pain For them, Their existence would Never be the same
Christ took that dark Symbol of man's brutality And turned it into the new Reality Of God's goodness, Forgiveness Love Falling in heavenly showers Of Jesus Christ's blood
So won't you step through This heavenly gate Opened daily, Always freely to you But remember, Only by your own faith As your Creator's joy-filled Heart awaits Do its portals swing wide To reveal His Glorious Paradise inside!!
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 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!!
