The Goal

The Goal

Christ had a goal
In many words
In His sacred book
Is this very specifically told
It was to save us

With His love, kindness,
Endurance
And
Finally, death
Was it shown
But
Also with His brutal honesty
In words sometimes harsh
Was it told

Today more than ever
Do people need to hear
Truth of our reality
Sin is still sin
Still wrong
Never a golden crown
Will we win
Without facing God's truths

In the war that rages
Around us for our souls
May we ever be honest
With ourselves, others
Win back that
Which satan stole
Intimacy with God
But only in heaven's
Complete truth
Will ever we be able
To reach that perfected goal!

Him

Him

I was meant to be
With Him
I was created to live
With Him
I was given wings to fly only
With Him


I was meant to flourish
With Him
I was made to grow and
Become more
With Him
I was made to be in love
With Him


Who is this Him
I speak of?
Our living, breathing God,
Creator, Master, Lord
So do not be ashamed
To lift up Holy Hands
If it is Him whom you adore
This Our Yahshua
For only He is where
Our eternity dwells
And His Beauty reigns
Supreme!

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


Burnt


Burnt

You've burnt me
With your fire, God
Your nevers
Never will I leave you
Never will I forsake you
And
Greatest among Your truths
Never do You change

Reaching fiery fingers
Into my almost empty shell
Feeling of little worth to tell
You energized my heart
At first,
Only a smallest flame
To start

That almost obliterated light
My innermost soul
Satan's long fingers so dark & cold
Fought to destroy
Even from my very first days
Those days of long ago

But your Spirit's fiery love
Brought a powerful new light
On wings of your peace-filled dove
Carrying a power eternal
Also to one so frail, Your might

And as I stand today filled
Trying to carry your beauty's will
That satan will be defeated
As Your love within our hearts
We're keeping
All the pains, the sorrows,
All the weepings
Your Spirit's fire at last will thrust
Deep into hell’s darkness
Blissfully, Eternally away from us!!!

The Throne Room


The Throne Room

You hold the planets
Into place
The heartbeats of every nation
Living at your feet
Working calmly, deliberately
All while seated upon
One royal seat
Eternal, perfect love's
Royal throne room

700, 800, 900 feet tall angels
Dance in ecstasy
Not out of duty
But because
They're overwhelmed
From the sight of
Your power, might
Your glory's beauty

I sigh
Someday,
If I stay loyally in love
Obedient
I too
Will be allowed
To dance
Totally entranced
As angels' wings
Brush by my face
Of Eternity's Purest Joy
Will I taste
Just to watch You smile!!

Praise You, Lord God Jesus!
Praise You!

The Vow



The Vow(to Christ)

Waters of baptism
Over my head
Covers my face
Leaving no room
Not even one trace
Of darkness

Raised from a watery grave
Pulled up, Resurrected
Into Your light
Your new life
Given new sight
To see as You do

For this water
Was my vow
My oath, my covenant
To follow, love,
Be loyal to you
No matter the pain
No matter the shame
A world might choose
To inflict
