Martyr?


Martyr?

Are you really
Willing to die?
Let go of it all?
For an illusion?
Something I cannot
See?
Something I
Cannot touch?

But you say it
Is the truth
This is indeed
Most acute!
Is this how
Your mind
You wish to soothe?

An unseen God
A Holy Savior
A spiritual level to life?
To save us from what?
I will admit
There is much chaos
Afoot
Everywhere much cruelty
Pain suffering
To find all of that
No one would really
Be at all hard put!

Maybe you are right
Perhaps I should be more
Contrite
Learn to let go
So I too may know
The Spirit's burning fire,
Joy, the Privilege
To pick up my cross
And follow Him
His paradise to win
To lose myself
And for the living Christ
Become a martyr!!

Warmth

Jesus’s powerful presence and love can fill your heart and spirit like nothing or anyone else can. Nothing else on our earth can satisfy your deep spiritual, emotional needs like He can, and He wants to do that eternally and forever. Praise God!


Warmth

Warmth fills the air
Pure gold
A white clad throng
They part
I stare

You come
Walking
through the middle
No one makes a sound
Toward me
You extend a hand
You smile

Your radiance,
Dear Christ,
Warms me
To my bones
And
Within Your smile's
Warmth
Lies my forever home!

Then My Soul

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!!

No Other Blood

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,
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 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!!
