Turning

Turning

Turning,
Turning
Our whole planet
Always turning
Night to day
Day to night
Light to dark
Darkness to light
Always on the move

Even this our very selves
As on this moving world
Constantly do we dwell
Each an eternal spirit
Moving, turning through
Each day
To the left or
To the right
Toward the dark or
To the light

Turning to God’s perfect love
To fill your spirit from above
Or
To the darkened concept
Of the narcissistic self
One leads to destructive death
The other to an incomprehensible
Wealth
These two sides to life
We seem to have been dealt

But the choice is yours
Turning to one side or
The other
To destroy or to lift up
Your sisters, your brothers
So that as through our lives
We’re turning along
Only to one of these
May you ultimately belong


Burnt


Burnt

You've burnt me
With your fire, God
Your nevers
Never will I leave you
Never will I forsake you
And
Greatest among Your truths
Never do You change

Reaching fiery fingers
Into my almost empty shell
Feeling of little worth to tell
You energized my heart
At first,
Only a smallest flame
To start

That almost obliterated light
My innermost soul
Satan's long fingers so dark & cold
Fought to destroy
Even from my very first days
Those days of long ago

But your Spirit's fiery love
Brought a powerful new light
On wings of your peace-filled dove
Carrying a power eternal
Also to one so frail, Your might

And as I stand today filled
Trying to carry your beauty's will
That satan will be defeated
As Your love within our hearts
We're keeping
All the pains, the sorrows,
All the weepings
Your Spirit's fire at last will thrust
Deep into hell’s darkness
Blissfully, Eternally away from us!!!

The Throne Room


The Throne Room

You hold the planets
Into place
The heartbeats of every nation
Living at your feet
Working calmly, deliberately
All while seated upon
One royal seat
Eternal, perfect love's
Royal throne room

700, 800, 900 feet tall angels
Dance in ecstasy
Not out of duty
But because
They're overwhelmed
From the sight of
Your power, might
Your glory's beauty

I sigh
Someday,
If I stay loyally in love
Obedient
I too
Will be allowed
To dance
Totally entranced
As angels' wings
Brush by my face
Of Eternity's Purest Joy
Will I taste
Just to watch You smile!!

Praise You, Lord God Jesus!
Praise You!

Not By Yourself


Not By Yourself

Church is not just
A nice social tea party
It's not a game
It is where you go
To declare your belief in
The Name

You have an enemy
Wishing only to destroy
To kill, rob, steal
All of life,
Even your very last joy

You know who I speak of
satan is his name
Pain, dark destruction
Is all and only
what he seeks to gain

Not by yourself
Can you wage war
Against him
Only Your Lord & Savior
Stands in between
From heaven's throne
His love's grace, light
Powerfully streams

So call upon the Name
Of Jesus Christ
And
Watch satan, his demons
Scatter
Into the dark winds
Take complete flight
For it is a most wonderful,
Overwhelming sight
To watch our eternal King
Into each and every life
Bring all of His Power,
And His Glorious Might!

Praise You, Lord Jesus
Praise You!!
