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!!
We have had some beautiful, warm weather for this time of year, up into the low 70’s this week. I managed to find some time to ride my bike on our river’s greenway system and take a few pictures. It make you really, really wish April and May were already here. May you have a blessed day and praise God for his goodness in allowing our world to be such a wondrous place!
Calm Before The Storm
You seem so calm and
Mostly quiet
Only sounds of water over
Rocks
Make me at water’s edge
Delight to listen, stop
No fresh young sprigs of
Green
None on delicate limbs
Yet to be seen
Today’s sun seems but
A ruse
No matter how strong
Its rays
No matter how profuse
No strong spring’s chatters
No multiple birds’ voices
Yet to be gathered
But
For today, the sun does smile
On this happy watered mile
Crystals shards of light
Fill a gently rolling river
But do not fear
Soon I’ll see a world
Once more filled
With all the noise and
Joyous colors
As spring’s breezes
Again allow my senses
To be completely thrilled!!
No Other Blood
My slate wiped
Clean
Of everything I
Have done selfishly
Everything mean
And
By what you say?
Christ's Holy, Pure
Blood
On an ancient hill
called Calvary
Put forth for
Every living, breathing
Creature to see
The God-man hung
From spikes in hands
And feet
His love-filled Blood
Staining the ground
So with only from
His lips a few
Sounds
His Pure, Holy Blood
Did encircle, surround
His earth
For all eternity,
All time
Certainly not yours
And never mine
It was only Him
Our King, Lord, Creator
Savior
Joined with the Holy
Father
That made the plan
Only His Blood
Strong, pure, clean
Enough
To save corrupted
Man
So next time you're
Feeling grateful
Get down on your knees
Thank Christ for that
Day most fateful
For there was no other
Blood
That could have done
The job
Rescued us from our
Blackened sin
And
Brought us back home
To our generously
forgiving GOD!
No More
No more,
No more,
From a pulpit
No more silly words
Make my ears sore
I live in the zone
Of a war
One for my only
Eternal soul
Bombarded every day
In many, all ways
By satan, demons
I need words
To wear
Thick as heavy armor
To protect against
A deranged, depraved
Godless world
It's media hounds
Slavering for my blood
World leaders
Drunk, intoxicated,
With power
Lusting for just
One more hour
On their thrones
So step up
All you spiritual leaders
Do your jobs
As satan screams
Into our ears
Fighting each human
To rob
Of God's Eternal Love!
My Need (ai image)
My shell
At times
So weak
So frail
Earthly
Made of only
Dust
In it
May we never
Ever put our
Deepest trust
All of that
Is temporary
My spirit
My real me
Only it
Heads into God’s
Most precious eternity
I sigh,
I long
For such
A place
Filled with
Only
Your perfection
Your glory's
Holy Grace
Longing to see
Nothing
But Your Bright Light
Your Face!
Oh, God Almighty,
Help me
Make
The right choice
Among all of
This earth's lost voice
It's rising dust
May I not turn
May I not trust
Wars,
Murders
Deceits
Lies,
Chaos
In all of these
You are all
Anyone's immortal
Soul
Really ever needs!!
Of His Power!!
A vision was given
An impression received
Beautiful yet frightening
So clearly seen
Yet sometimes even I find it
Hard to believe
That You would honor me
With this vision
Of Your holy one
This angelic messenger
Impressed was I
Of that you can be sure
In his great power
& in silence he stood
On a cloud so white
In his full magnificent glory
And Your Most Holy Might
Beautiful,
Over his skin’s surface dwelling
Rainbow’s colors changing, moving
Of Your spirit’s beauty was it telling
His eyes full of so fierce a light
It gave my heartbeat a moment’s fright
Compelling, yet I yearned to turn away
Yet held was I & stayed
With one wink
Destroyed could he have me
Ferocious in his glory
Showing only the story
The completeness of
Your Glory’s overwhelming power
Although sometimes I think
Does it take a slightest toll
Upon the stronghold of my soul
These dreams, these visions
Yet I beg please, please do not scold
Because I have from the very start
In telling of had only best intentions
For your soul’s peace of heart
