Today In Jerusalem You may hear some clamor Sounds, voices In the air float rumors A third temple they say Will bring for our earth A much better day!!
But don't they know There already is one! It is you and me If in our God Christ Jesus You wholeheartedly Do believe!!
Christ does not Need dead, cold stones In which to survive It is within the human heart He comes best to live And to most assuredly still thrive!!
As Christian believers We are living stones Built up together As one For God's Spirit A newer Home Along with His Holy Son Of this newer temple His Living Cornerstone!!
Once for all Christ's blood purifies For a whole world To see So with faith Anyone, everyone May forever live At the foot of God's throne His deeply loved, Glorified, Perfected Living Stones!!!!
Stripped Meaning to Be destroyed Removed As in to strip old paint Now old undesirable varnish Remove old tarnish
As I stand still Look around Unwillingly caught In all the world's sounds My spirit feels there is Something amiss Something Imprisoned into A darkened twist It is our sense of reality
There is a loss of authority Not of ours, oh no, no In our own we boast all day Over that we keep a tight grip Over that most will sing All day long Through loose, smiling lips It is of someone else's loss
Into the air madly have We tossed Christ's authority Our Creator's Sovereignty Over everyone, everything From Him His power Have we STRIPPED
Today even inside Large and small churches Pastors just say Jesus loves you Which, of course, is the truth But downplay HIS KINGSHIP Is it ignorance or fear Is it now today They're afraid to say He is also our Righteous Judge Full Authority, Power Only belongs to Him All of life's rules, guidelines Come from Him
In the middle of today's Broken world with pain so rife In its confusion, satan's evil, full of strife We need to return to the truth Of our One true leader's power And to bend the knee And refuse to strip Christ Of His rightful authority HIS OVERWHELMING MAJESTY AND UNENDING GLORY!
You had to reach down So very, very low Because At times life to us can deliver Exceedingly cruel blows AH!! But the joy at seeing your face Come to save(as always) I reach up Your hands full of Your overflowing grace!
So hold your breath Get ready Christ remains always ever steady Dependable, ALMIGHTY Wait and you will see Your Refuge, our Rock Our Creator LORD He will enable all believers In Him once again to soar Above this world's chaos That dark slimy pit Pain, suffering and loss Even though it may come For you at a tremendous cost
But you can rely upon HIM To eternally win Our Immortal souls, Us in His forever love to keep As in His Paradise we all together Dance joyfully in the Light-filled Glory at His Feet!!
I hope everyone has a God-blessed day! This video/poem is available also on my youtube channel Susan Guinn at: https://youtu.be/2G_JPJo-rCY
Now That’s Pretty!!
Sunrises are pretty Flowers, Oh, their colors Can make you Quite giddy! Butterflies Babies smiles Laughter Winter’s perfect seasons But sadly Just physical Not spiritual That comes only From God Is God
Warmth Affection Perfect Love Shining, streaming From above Never leaving Always present Always good Always faithful Even when I'm not
King of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th chance Showing in His Celebratory Graveyard Dance His Almighty Power Over satan, death Resurrecting people With His every breath
Here are just a few pictures I was able to get yesterday on our beautiful Greenway system. It’s a paved walkway next to a river here in our city. I live in the south, Middle Tennessee, and the trees, with the right conditions, turn such beautiful colors. It’s only getting started with the first yellows and reds beginning. I hope you enjoy these and your own fall wherever you live. Have a God blessed day!!
And then my soul stretched out her arms, blew out her wings and sailed away!
