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
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!
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
In My Bones
In my bones
I know
I have another home
Another place
To live before a face
More beautiful
Than any other
It is man’s greatest hope
But
Comes most of the time
With an inner struggle
Seeming sometimes a great mystery
Or a somewhat confusing puzzle
Still God promises if we try
We are assured of the greatest prize
A home before His beauty
Forever
So lift up your eyes,
Your very souls
Make His will
Your life’s greatest goal
And learn to let go
Of that raging inner self
For
It is not I that lives
But Christ that lives in me!!
The Voice
We scurry
We hurry
Caught up in distractions
We forget the impaction
Of ignoring
Ignoring what you say?
The only face
That dispenses grace
Every heartbeat every day
For the world
That's simply their way
But
For a Christian?
It means we've failed
To stop & listen
To the only One
In the position
To stop the insanity
Darkness surrounds us
To us Christ entrusts
His truths, His light
To dispense
To a world never meant
To be this lost
When we His church
Get so caught up
In the world's culture
We forget to nurture
HIM IN US
Then by our silence
And this our choice
Christ has no voice
& only doom awaits!
