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, beloved child
That in eternity I now may you forever keep!
John 15:11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
Also, Hebrews 12:2
The King
Jesus
Our Holy King
You are
The Only One
The only thing
To save us
From ourselves
From our own
Inhumanity
To each other
Our Prince of Peace
Each and every day
You struggle, You reach
To fill our hearts
With Yourself
Your promises
To fulfill, to keep
So let us
Bow low
On knees
Before your throne
May we receive
Come to own
The golden glow,
The whispers of
Not I that live
But only Christ Jesus
As my life to You
May I mindfully choose
Each and every day to give!!
Praise You
Lord Jesus
Praise You!!
To Dissolve
Do you think you stand on terra firma?
Think again
A forever life down here
Never were you meant to win
Never will that happen
But do not let your soul
Be completely saddened
Trust in Christ, His Word
Do not follow the ways
Of a world that pursues
satan, that very evil dragon
One day, in God's timing
When all of earth's clocks
At last have stopped
Their chiming
With a great rush,
From God's hand,
With only one last touch
On the face of this planet
Will then man take his last stand
It will dissolve
Hearing His voice
His irrevocable call
Earth will disappear
Even the universe's stars
No longer to anyone
Will be clear
Every molecule, every atom
Every fraction of dust
In nothing man has made
No longer can we trust
So prepare yourself
Get yourself ready
In Christ alone
Can your soul remain steady
You will finally stand
Before the golden throne
Of a Holy Trinity
Face to face with God's infinity
To view at last His wondrous Glory
And be allowed to read the first
Few words of
Your new life's eternal story!!
From
Come,
Lord Jesus Come
Heaven's Only Son
From this moment
My race, it has begun
Only within You
All love, peace, joy
Emanates from
So lift me up
May I never ever
Become too worldly,
Or too numb
To Your beauty
Please help me
Transcend this earth,
It's darkest scum
So take my meager crumbs
And
In your hands
May I once more become
Your treasure
Your richest, ripest
Of fruits, a plum
And may I loudly proclaim
Your truths, light
In step with, in cadence with
Living to the rhythm of
The rest of,
The best of
All your Holy drums!!
The Gate
This,
An unusual gate
An unusual shape
Formed
Of two wooden beams
Not entirely an
Unbroken seam
What's known as
A Cross
On it people were hung
By hands or wrists
From its one horizontal rung
Until
No longer down here
Did they exist
Left to die
Against God's pale blue sky
But
For them it was not
The end
For them the journey
Was it just about
To begin
Their souls released
To step through a gate
Into eternal peace
Or into a darker pain
For them,
Their existence would
Never be the same
Christ took that dark
Symbol of man's brutality
And turned it into the new
Reality
Of God's goodness,
Forgiveness
Love
Falling in heavenly showers
Of Jesus Christ's blood
So won't you step through
This heavenly gate
Opened daily,
Always freely to you
But remember,
Only by your own faith
As your Creator's joy-filled
Heart awaits
Do its portals swing wide
To reveal His Glorious Paradise inside!!
Martyr?
Are you really
Willing to die?
Let go of it all?
For an illusion?
Something I cannot
See?
Something I
Cannot touch?
But you say it
Is the truth
This is indeed
Most acute!
Is this how
Your mind
You wish to soothe?
An unseen God
A Holy Savior
A spiritual level to life?
To save us from what?
I will admit
There is much chaos
Afoot
Everywhere much cruelty
Pain suffering
To find all of that
No one would really
Be at all hard put!
Maybe you are right
Perhaps I should be more
Contrite
Learn to let go
So I too may know
The Spirit's burning fire,
Joy, the Privilege
To pick up my cross
And follow Him
His paradise to win
To lose myself
And for the living Christ
Become a martyr!!
