Came From
I came from
& to you will return
Dear God
For your warmth-filled embrace
I deeply yearn
Your hallowed halls
I long to peruse
At the edge of your feet
Those power-filled, golden shoes
I tremble
Yet there,
I find my most peaceful rest
& only at your behest
Am I allowed to rise
With expectant eyes
To see for myself
At last,
Your beauty’s-filled smiling sighs!
Read for FREE the first two chapter of my novel, WHEN HEAVEN SIGHS, here on this site at Book Available in ebook & paperback on Amazon Have a blessed day!
The First
Christ must come first
Everything else a poor second
As you listen to His voice
So sweetly trill & beckon
Return to me
I will return to you
A new day will break forth
Ensue!
A sun unlike any other
Will roll & rise
A shining, sparkling
New planet
To be beheld with widened eyes
To live in a new universe
These second-hand words
I now rehearse
Taken from the writings
Of an ancient Holy Book
I am allowed to delight in reciting!
So Forget!
A world barges in
Rude & loud, using force
Seeking its own way
To get me off my course
From you, Lord Christ
So,
On I must struggle
To stay away
From seeking its
Loud, belligerent way
&
listen to your gentle voice
instead
So, F O R G E T
Your large house
Your sleek, ramblings cars
Persistent pleasure seeking
In Him only
Am I believing!
Toward His cross
Am I retreating!
Toward a better life
& a Living Son’s Paradise!!!
The Broken Restored
My soul was broken
In pieces shattered
Only You could collect
The pieces
From where
They were scattered
Into the darkness
Your fingers reached
& found them
I stand restored,
Whole, once again
A new creation
Is for what you wish
But only You, Dear Savior
That truth can seal
With Your Holy Kiss!
Three Great Lies
Three great lies pervade the air
Most of these people to hear do not care
So to be honest, of these three
If you will forgive,
I will try, dare to share
An enemy, that satan, first will tell you
Each, every & of us, all,
(He’s been struggling to push this
Since in a garden we had our great fall)
It is,
There is no god, he does not exist
The second one does not bring so much bliss
It is
God does not love you even if He does exist
This is one which we must fully resist
If God does not love, then why the cross
Where for Him & an Eternal Son,
Was such an extreme & blood-filled cost?
And last but most certainly not the least
God is not all-powerful, not in full control
For millennia this lie has unequivocally been sold
& told to a dark & dying world
Man is just as smart & able his own destiny
To control
Such things get determinedly pushed
More today than I’ve ever seen
In this chaotic world’s quest to reach
For whatever in one heartbeat
At any particular moment is deemed
For us to be pleasant
The truth?,
We are not our own god
Never have been, never will we be
Truth stands knocking
If you will dare to see
The Eternal, All-Powerful Truth,
Perfection,
God holds within His Loving Hand
Ready & willing to be received
(If you choose)
By each woman, child or man!!
A Worldwide Disease
A disease is widespread
Walks around
Sleeps in everyone’s bed
Invades each home, heart
& every head
Does not come from without
Originates from the within of us
Does not travel on any windy gusts
Or any stormy breeze
It comes from our refusal to
Bend the knee
To a wonderful, sovereign God
To worship only ourselves,
The Me
Me can destroy other lives
That I of I
Inside each human heart
It struggles & resides
To have its say
Its own complete way
Over everything
Its indulgent siren’s song
It loudly sings
Causes wars, murders, theft
Of all true affection, kindness
It is most assuredly bereft
By it, love is truly an orphan left
We could have a brighter world
Where only purest, perfection’s love
Could dwell
& on wings, joy’s songs would certainly swell
If we could kill off that worldwide disease
THE SELF!
