If I Were You
When you mess with me
You mess with Him
Because I belong to Him
I am
His precious child
His beloved
Bride
Pure & holy
At least in His eyes
So,
If I were you
I would leave me alone!
He will leave no stone
Unturned
To save me, redeem me
Protect me
Even though you think
Destroyed I may be
But
Believe me
I am not!
At this place, this spot
Where you think I am gone
In heaven’s purest portals
I rejoice again, again & again
With the loudest of songs
With His powerful angels I dance
In pure joy
For just to take one quickest glance
At God’s face
So again, if I were you
I would leave me alone!
Get Out of The Way
Get out of the way
A change is coming to stay
Growing closer each & every day
This world, HIS earth
God is going to shake!!
Everything around us
Everything that is now seen
Done away with
Will it be
Before our eyes
Will it flee
Death, evil, satan’s darkness
Prepare your hearts
Your very soul
To transform, change us
Save Us
Has always been
Christ’s deepest most heartfelt goal
But heed the ancient Book’s warning
All who refuse His Loving Voice
For you,
At His spectacular second coming,
Will be no more second choice
Put away, endlessly forever roaming
In infinity’s Pain-filled Outer Darkness
So prepare yourselves
Get ready
Remain in your faith
Ever-Steady
Watch as He comes
This One & Only Son
Once again to change,
Re-create His Earth!!
Knee Deep
There you are
Knee deep in those waters
Where most sense danger
And then run & scatter
Yet you have wandered outward
Seemingly without a care
All around you life’s flows never cease
But do not be so foolish
As to let all your follies increase
Beware those seemingly
Placid waters for now
Do not upward rise quickly
& underneath them drag you down
God still cries, holds out arms
To bring you home
Back onto a safer ground
Wishes for you to cease to roam
No longer within his voice’s sound
Or out of his love’s caresses
Leave those roaring depths of satan’s dangers
All those lurid temptations hold nothing
but the cunning voice of a stranger
Yield to Christ’s love flowing freely
In His bright blood on a cross
Step out of those cold dark powers
That carry only the pain of sin’s deepest loss
Colors of Christmas
Red and Green are
Everywhere seen
For Christmas
Was there a reason for these
Surely there must be
Or so it seems to me
Red in the berries
For the blood that Christ shed
On a cruel cross
As Mary’s body was in pain at your birth
Her heart’s pain at your death most
Assuredly must have been worse
Green for the life that Jesus
Gives freely everywhere
For our souls like plants may rise
Upward to live in His purest of airs
So maybe there was a reason
For the colors of this joyous season
May you come to know the miracle and wonder
As God’s love and mercy ripped asunder
Death’s power over us all forever
Through the birth of Jesus,
His One and Only Most Glorious Son!
Light is meant to shine
White Light against the darkness
Hope against despair
This world certainly carries a
Heart wrenching load
Of troubles and cares
But us,
We Christians,
Are meant to shine as lights
Of God’s Joy and Holy Might
Meant to carry His Love
Sent from heavenly abodes above
So if you carry Christ’s name
Remember diligently His fame
Speaks of His grace, mercy
And His death’s sacrifice
Which brought down to all mankind
All of heaven’s glorious light
We are meant to carry into
A darkened world’s despairing
Terror and fright!
Air Dancer
Long, luxurious limbs
Dancing, elegant
Stripped of all summer’s green finery
evidencing once again that simplicity
may be more beautiful
Lithe and lovely on this cool winter’s day
Glistening white skin shows so well
Of your graceful beauty it beckons to tell
To pleasure us, we mere mortals
More beautiful than myriad dancers on
Any stage
Among winter’s cold breath your limbs
Twist, turn & sway
In time to a music only you can hear
At the water’s edge I watch then
Shed one small tear
Over your beauty so exquisite
My words would never do it justice
Oh, the joy God must have felt
Watching your lightest steps
Above the solid firmness of His ground!
