Unstoppable
Uncontainable, unstoppable
You will raise the dead
Re-create, remake
Reinspire our dulled
Universe
Even the leaves, the grass
Will praise your name
All creation will shout
For joy
As we watch the work
Of Your Hands
For you are coming
To return
Everything to its
Original
Being
A new body for us
A new world for
You to rule
All creatures, creation
Will return to
Its beginning purpose
Of rejoicing,
Basking in the
Beauty You have always
Wished to share with us,
Yourself!!
A Living One
You pass me by
Stopping, coming
Closer
Than expected
Your beauty on display
You feel like
Living electricity
The tingle filling the air
Around your face
And being
You glisten, shining,
You literally sparkle
With yourself
This living Power
You are surrounds
The air around you
And I bow to worship
My God
Creator, Maker
Lover of all souls!
Birds, suns
The stars rejoice in
Your Presence
You are our Life!
Your Universe is awash
In your glowing powerful
Life, Self
With every heartbeat, breath
May I praise Your Name
In the foreverness of your kingdom!
Falling Leaves
Falling Leaves
Autumn’s colors splash
Everywhere
Shy at first
until
They burst,
screaming
Through the air
Beneath a crystal sky
Blue air above my head
Leaves go floating by
Ruby’s reds, oranges
Sun’s-burst yellows
Explode within my soul
For wasn’t that your goal?
God, didn’t you do it just
For me
Rent them from your heart
Created just to please
The senses
They fall below my knees
In such beauty, your glory’s colors.
Oh, if I could die like that!
In life’s dark moments
God’s glory shines the brightest
Destroying all fear!
Fire-Breather
(not a circus act)
Fire-breathers of old
Breathing flames into the air
From between the lips a fuel’s mist
Daring a miraculous feat to share
With an audience
Waiting, holding its own breath
As they watch these brave performers
Be willing to risk their very death
To entertain.
But there is a real
Fire-breather
Needing nothing but Himself
His Own power
To drench us within
The shower
Of His love and glory
Fire from on high
A God who reaches
Down
To envelop us
From beyond the skies
To live Within His fiery
Glorious
Life
All of heaven calls his Name
From Generation to
Generation
He is the same
Always wanting to share
His Holy Fire
Reaching down from
Heaven’s spires
To live, burn within us
His Holy children!
So, catch the flame
Pronounce His Name
From between your lips
Allow the fuel,
God’s Spirit
Your allegiance, very breath
to claim.
Man
Selfish man,
You take your stand
On a land
You do not possess
You do not own
Even one groan
Of this earth, sea or sky
Not a single one of its sighs
Everything, us all
Belongs to someone else
This is our greatest test
To understand,
Be led into eternity
To recognize our smallness
Cupped within the power of
God’s hands
The only place we can stand
Within His Will for us
To know you better
Be forever unfettered
from my ignorance
& physicality
To get to know you
One on one
This is why your Son
Was sent & bore His scars
Bringing us home
No more to roam
In the darkness between the stars
