To Be Known
It feels like I was
Made by You
To live with You
By You to be known
Through & through
To exist with You
Praise You, Lord God
Praise You
Thank You for
Taking the time
Upon Your earth
To trod
Thank You
For my existence
For the joy of being
Able to listen
As You speak
Or are quiet
Thank You for still
Wanting us
Watching
Even at times
As we are so corrupt
So Thank You
For making us
To live so close
To You
Gathering us in
As our hearts
You try to win
And make us
Your very own!
No Other Place
No other place
Except your shining face
To run to
When the walls
They collapse, they fall
One day you're
Standing tall
The next
Laying face down
In the dust
Amidst the rush
Of a world gone insane
Unceasingly creating
its own pain
For us
Of all this godlessness
There will be no gain
So for you
Before it's too late
Make the Living God
Your strong portal
And be allowed
To start eternity
Through Heaven's
Shining gates!
Second Death
What is this I hear about
A second death?
I thought death occurred
When I take my last breath
And that is it, the end.
But now God
You say no.
For us You say
You have another goal
After all,
We are eternal living souls
Never ceasing to exist
What a wonderful surprise!
To live with You forever
In Your celestial skies
But wait, You say
I have a free will
For yourself you must choose
Follow my Son's path
His obedience until the last
For once your heart stops
& the divide between
heaven & earth you move across
There awaits a reckoning
So,
As God now stands beckoning
Choose obedience's eternal
Paradise
Because
For your rebellion's disobedience
For your second death,
Nothing but an endless Dark Abyss
Will be left
All My Life
It seemed
It felt like
I was
Waiting for a Messiah
All my life
Waiting for Perfection
To end all this
earthly strife
Always I looked
Until I picked up
One small book
And I read of Your story
All that heavenly glory
Come down to earth
In a very humble birth
Born into a world
So dark
You came to re-start
Heaven in man's own heart
Praise You, Lord Jesus
Praise You
Now we have much to
Look forward to,
As we wait for You
To return, renew
Remake our broken earth
& we will be given, share in
Your immeasurable worth
And for those that do listen
With new names
Will they be christened
As all of heaven rejoices!!
The Remedy
A world,
My own country
Awash with
New, old corruptions
Causing all these
Unfamiliar disruptions
To marriages
Governments,
Our born and unborn
Children
Perverting, wasting
Lives
Why oh why
Will we not accept
The Remedy
Stares us in the face
Instead of listening
To our foe, that
Ancient enemy
We destroy ourselves
With disobedience
Ingest contaminated
Ingredients
From a satan so devious
He rains filth
Upon our heads
I pray for my country
That I love so much
Our money states
'In God we trust'
Then let's do that
Return to Him
He will return to us
So let's arise,
Wake up
Give our best, strongest
Thrust
To save as many
As we can
As Christ holds open
With His own nail scarred
Hands
The gates to His Eternity's
Promised Land!
Bustin’
Massive, unstoppable
Almighty,
Owner of an
Entire universe,
Our home,
This earth
Powerful enough
To stop the dirth
Of Your own Spirit
Inside Your beloved church
You come
In all Your glory
All Your power
Double edged sword
In Your mouth
Let there be absolutely
No doubt
You will be
Bustin' down
The very gates of hell
So in this rhyme
I will say,
Let me tell
No one, nothing
In all Christ's creation
Will stop Him
Or Heaven's celebration!
