To Dissolve

To Dissolve

Do you think you stand on terra firma?
Think again
A forever life down here
Never were you meant to win
Never will that happen
But do not let your soul
Be completely saddened
Trust in Christ, His Word
Do not follow the ways 
Of a world that pursues
satan, that very evil dragon

One day, in God's timing
When all of earth's clocks
At last have stopped
Their chiming
With a great rush,
From God's hand,
With only one last touch
On the face of this planet
Will then man take his last stand

It will dissolve
Hearing His voice
His irrevocable call
Earth will disappear
Even the universe's stars
No longer to anyone
Will be clear
Every molecule, every atom
Every fraction of dust
In nothing man has made
No longer can we trust

So prepare yourself
Get yourself ready
In Christ alone
Can your soul remain steady
You will finally stand
Before the golden throne
Of a Holy Trinity
Face to face with God's infinity
To view at last His wondrous Glory
And be allowed to read the first 
Few words of 
Your new life's eternal story!!

From

Come,
Lord Jesus Come
Heaven's Only Son
From this moment
My race, it has begun
Only within You
All love, peace, joy
Emanates from

So lift me up
May I never ever
Become too worldly,
Or too numb
To Your beauty
Please help me 
Transcend this earth, 
It's darkest scum

So take my meager crumbs
And
In your hands 
May I once more become
Your treasure
Your richest, ripest
Of fruits, a plum
And may I loudly proclaim
Your truths, light
In step with, in cadence with
Living to the rhythm of
The rest of,
The best of 
All your Holy drums!!

The GATE


The Gate

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!!

Martyr?


Martyr?

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!!

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!

Then My Soul

We are all immortal, living spirits. Created in the image of God, we will never cease to exist, and the good thing about life is that He gives you the freedom to choose where you will spend eternity!


Then My Soul

Then my soul
Raised her hands
Unbound by earth
Unlocked from land

Blew out her wings
Called by Your Spirit's
Songs
From heaven's hope
They rise, they spring

And sailed away
From off this
Darkened ground
Following
Your Sweet Voice's sound
To live forever within
Christ’s Glory!!
