Thank You!
Thank you
For wanting the
Destitute and the Desperate
From the homeless beggers
And hungry orphans on the streets
And trafficed children
Lying at their rapist's feet
From the Unloved child
In the womb
About to be aborted
In a cold, hard, sterile room
All of these Lord Jesus
You love, want passionately
And died for
Shouldn't we also?
You See
You see me
I am known
In You may I
Grow
Become
More
Of What
You wish to see
Me to be
A daughter
Or son
With this thought
May I run
Be still
Let you, God, fill
My empty hollows
No One
There is no one,
No not one
On the face of this green planet
Who does not need
The One and only Son
A living, breathing
Beyond words All-powerful
Beautiful, Lord, Master,
The only GOD
Ready at any time
Us inside to displace
(Notice I did not say erase)
He will fill you with Himself
So you may have a forever life
Not to end up so bereft
Not following a broken world
Spiraling toward its own
Darker death
So let Christ in
For you He only wants to win
His Eternity's Paradise
It is an honor, privilege
To carry out
Into His creation
Of His love a small slice
Making His world
A place more peaceful
So much calmer
For you, this will be
At all no bother
Making yourself able to say
Not I that lives but Christ
Helping others give to themselves
A richer world full of
Much, much better days!
Leave Everything Else!
Leaving everything else,
All of our past, behind
So we may each day
More clearly shine
With only Your Face
Leaving at all no trace
Of anything else
Praise You,
God Jesus,
Praise You!!
Joy
J ust as the darkness
Tries to settle in
Your joy starts, begins
A canopy over despair
Always will it win
O nly in looking up
Learning in You, Christ,
Simply to trust
Will I avoid into my soul
A violent world's
Angry thrusts
Y earning, turning
More deeply, completely
To You, Lord God,
Will I ever in this broken world
Be able to better know, show
YOUR JOY!!!
The Spark!
Strike the spark
Let it burn
Within our hearts
For more and more
should we yearn
Of you Lord Jesus
You are Our One God
Among your humble sheep
Did you live, come to trod
Pausing at times among us to weep
But never forgot at times
Your pleasant laugh to keep
So fan the sparks
Those tiny flames
Within our hearts
Even if we think at first
Too small to matter
For if they do not rise & scatter
But form as one
Coming together
A new fiery love for you
May they Ignite
A newer, deeper passion
In our spirits excite
For our living, breathing
Reigning Christ!!
