Ferociously Wonderful!

Ferociously Wonderful!

Ferociously wonderful
Brighter in every way
Than
A million 
Or perhaps dare I say
A trillion 
Suns

Tirelessly
God, you work
Your Spirit
To usurp
satan's evils

So on and on You go
Trying to grab, grasp
(Even ferociously if You have to)
Our attention
So evil will surrender
And in our hearts
Take its last dying gasp

The Retort

Greedmongers
Here there everywhere
Spinning words into the air
Buy this buy that
So they can have their share
Of our money

Buy things you don't really need
Here it is come & see
Only this new thing 
Will make you truly happy

So we listen to their song
How I wish they would leave 
Us alone!
They rail they rant
On & on trying to enchant

 But life has more meaning
Than what on a surface 
may be seeming
To be so important

A Savior's voice
Trying to retort
To a world's greedmongers
Says there is another better choice

A kingdom of heaven 
May first you seek
So your Dearest soul 
Will Christ pursue
Desires to keep
Within His hands
Forever to live with Him
In God's most holy & Purest
New promised land!

The Tear

The Tear

Don't cry, Lord Jesus
Why that tear
Does a sorrow to you 
Draw too near
I lay my cheek upon your hand
As flowers around my head
Do blend
Let me love you 
Oh my God, my dear

You lift the crystal fluid
Off your cheek
Wait a moment 
Before you speak
It is not for sorrow 
That my eyes do weep
But for pure joy
That in eternity 
Forever more 
May I now you keep!

Let Go!

Let Go!

He’s after our hearts
That deepest, personal part
Waiting to instill
Himself
That raging, destructive old nature
To kill

But He needs your permission
Your total submission
For us to bend our knees
If a different, better world
We truly wish to see

So, 
Let Christ have your total self
Don’t hide pieces upon a darker shelf
Bring out all that you are
Obeying that Spirit’s inner call
For evil’s thick, stone walls to crumble
As Jericho’s walls will they fall

And Our King will rush in
More precious souls to win
Before that last curtain call
As around us all creation falls
Is rendered useless, 
Disappears in a roar
Christ’s face will appear
His power at last crystal clear
And for your faith
He will wipe away all our tears

Rest

Rest

That physical pump
Inside my chest
Someday will stop
As my fragile shell
Receives its eternal rest

In peace I pray 
I will be allowed to go
If while on earth
That is what 
I tried to sow

Enter God's rest
You children of the King
Rise up in joy
On the back of 
His great eagle's wings

Rise in spiritual prosperity
As you prance, dance forever
In God's joyfilled gaiety
