Into a Gutter Tossed

Into a Gutter Tossed


Feeling so lost
Into a gutter tossed
In the depths of it,
I sigh
Are You, Lord, passing me by?
Watching
I look
Give a soft moan

In only one heart’s beat
You stop
You are there
With one smile
You show You care

Reaching out one hand
Raise me to my feet
Save me
Your beauty’s grace on display
For all of this lost world to see!!

Footsteps in the Dust

Footsteps in the Dust

Heaven came down 
To earth
Each quiet, steady footstep
In the dust
Gives to each soul
A chance at its new birth

A fresh start
Watching to reward
Each beating heart
With a different level
Of existence
Then
Why, oh why.
Does He even today
Still meet with such 
determined resistance?

Why do we prefer
Our own cruelty
To Christ’s love?
Falling constantly
On our heads, shoulders
From skies above
Showing no one favoritism
His salvation’s glory contained
in only three precious words
He Is Risen!!

Confused???

Confused??

Why do we abuse?
Are we really
So confused
As to what we are?

Lies fly all around
Covering even the ground
Underneath my feet they crunch
Leaving me full?
Not so much

From an ancient hillside
The truths they flow
Rivers gushing of purest gold
Washing, seeking,
Purging each struggling,
Dying soul

Only within 
Christ’s outstretched
Hand
Lies the glory, truth of
His promised land

Under His feet 
Confusion flees
Before your face 
You will see
All lies die
They will end
As He rushes in
New life
New world
As only God can send

Beauty Sublime

Here’s a short, simple slide show of some photos I took on my bike rides along our greenway system where I live. Hope you enjoy and Praise God!

Beauty Sublime

Beauty Sublime
O’ for me sheer bliss
No matter the season 
Or the time
Lovely forms and colors
Upon his creation
God left one more kiss

Multitudes, varieties
No two exactly the same
To help us enjoy
And our senses to please
All this beauty
Was for man’s gain

So wander the world
Drink in its wondrous sights
Leaving it whole
Let it lift you to
New heavenly heights!

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

A Stupor!

A Stupor

In a stupor
We walk
Unaware 
As we stare
Blindly
At a world
Only physical
We think
But if you blink
In only one small wink
You can awake

Supernatural 
All around
Those beings
Angels to do
His bidding
demons always trying
their own way
To be winning

After walking
On His planet
He left behind
Upon it
A few 
Who were
Awake
Then more followed

Until it was
More & more
Now upon
The near & so distant
Shores
More eyes
Hearts wakened

So join
A growing crowd
Even if 
You have to shout
To tell what it is
About

Before 
It is too late
& their stupor
We cannot abate
As those who
Are now awake
most patiently
await
His return
