A cold day arose Over a cross of gold Never was one so sublime Throughout all knowledge of our history & time But for only this one slice of a day Would be it allowed to hold full sway Over the Son of God
Even through all our jeers & our taunts His holy purpose we could never daunt Bearing all our hatred, Toward heaven he raised A face so bloodied & so gaunt
But even then, Was our Lord able back to win from the depths of dark satan's clutches The glory of our precious souls So that at last & in the end We an infinity could live within The brightness of His Holy Glow!
Living Stones
Living stones are we all
Even if the hard exteriors fall
The inner fires remain
By Infinity's word sustained
Proving over and over again
God's beauty, His love's power
Is not given in vain
Each believer in Christ
A living stone
In a new kingdom
On the rise
Headed toward the purity
Found only in God's eyes
& His Eternal Celestial Skies!
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!
Informed
Informed is what
I wish to be
No more mere entertainment
Do I wish to see
I want to be told
The Truth
Does that make of me
For you too uncouth?
If so too bad,
For me
No more half-lies
Are to be had
Tell me fully
About my Christ
I wish to Live Completely
TOTALLY
In the fullness
Of His light
So stop the silliness
Half-lies of so much
Of religious worship
We see today
Let the purity
Clarity
Of God's Word
His Bible
Pour forth
Have full sway
Cleanse our hearts
Even the confused pulpits
From which so many speak
Transform us Lord
Help us Your Words,
Your Face only
& always just to seek!
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
