New Eden
With a trumpet’s blast
Angelic wings will beat
To agitate, despoil the air
Their voices shout
It will come about
With lightning’s speed
This new Eden
Glorious, magnificent
Will descend
The old order will
Completely end
New heavens, new earth,
A new Jerusalem
My feet will trod
Upon a newborn sod
New city with streets
Of fine-spun gold
No more will man
To sin be sold
On street corners so cheaply
Everything seen now
Is only shadow, temporary
Probably,
Out of necessity
All man’s creations
Will be done away with
So God’s New Earth,
New Heavens
At last may begin
Joy, peace, love
Of these things
There will be no end
Eternal God will reign
Death, tears, pain
Will all be gone
Praise to God, Christ
Will be forever’s song
So do not miss
Reunion with
Your Creator
Do not deny
His Touch,
His infinity’s kiss
Take His hand now
So you and I may stay,
Live in Glory’s new day,
Together, Forever!!
Can You Find Me?
Can you find me
In the rush,
The crush
Of this life?
Chaos has been unleashed
Upon the streets
Of the unseeing,
The unsuspecting.
Blinded, deluded
By one so evil
satan – darkest lord
that devil
Great deceiver
Desiring to destroy
Believers, non-believers
Us all
Thru him came
Our darkest fall
But God’s light shines
Thru each & every time
Piercing, undiminished,
Undimmed by any culture
No man or devil’s hand can
Destroy Christ’s future
He has planned
For those who love Him!
Eden
(save it or lose it)
Clouds swirl
The ethers twirl
in moving thick clouds
obscuring regions below
until at last pierced
by sun’s arrows to show
Eden,
perfection’s newest glow
a paradise’s home
Man never meant to roam
lives in perfect peace
with all
Until he turns his back
on his Lord’s call,
his name, creation & life
And through that one act
brings forth pain, death & strife
for the first time darkness
permeates the garden
but wait, wait
there comes a second call
to revive us from
the blackest pit of our slippery, plunging fall
Jesus Christ, that light
on the cross a perfect lamb
sent, holds out a hand
to save every woman, every man
we must play our part
let him have our complete heart
to generate a new start
for ourselves and this planet’s life
we all have our own part
to play if in our own days
we want to help receate Utopia
our very selves to save
& rejoin ourselves back to God
It is Your choice
never will be forced
Live totally for & with God
or
Be swallowed by the darkness
where never will you rest
You will be enslaved, forced into
that violent machine, that dark team
Of satan’s demolition service
and help shred Utopia into pieces
Consumer-ism
Consumer-ism here
Consumer-ism there
Consumer-ism everywhere
It travels by land,
Travels by sea,
Flies through the air!
Consume it preaches
Consume it teaches
With long taloned
Fingers it reaches
To hold, enfold
Everyone, us all
Until the last remnant
Finally is sold
Taught by all advertisers
Those oh so clever despisers
Of thrift, economy
The idea that you do not
Have to own each
& every thing you see!
And so this culture rolls on
Grinding out the same old song
BUY, SPEND, CONSUME
We continue to follow,
Dance to their mesmerizing
But false, lying tunes,
That large volumes of things
Bring us true joy
Only more and more toys
Will satisfy
But still life hurts, disappoints
And we softly cry
Knowing somewhere inside
Something is wrong
What if,
Instead of all the preaching
Of material wealth
(it is a form of belief)
We as a people began to teach
Not to be good consumers
Of mere physical things
But let our voices ring, sing
good sellers, tellers of
Jesus of Nazareth
The Living Christ
I will say it twice, even thrice
God is the center of your being
Only in HIM is life, true seeing
Of love, joy, deepest peace
It is of HIM we should happily teach
And only, only of HIM consume!!
One Star
One Star
Glistening amidst
A dark ocean awash
In navy blue
It was a night truly
With pure holiness imbued
Dare I speak of such
A precious light,
This blazing star
Known by and followed
By three wisest men
From afar
To find a ruler foretold
In their sacred writings of old
So, in their wisdom
They left behind everything
For just one glance
Of His Majesty, a newborn King!
To dirty, dusty Bethlehem
They went on that darkest night
And in a manger’s stall
They heard his first cries, bawls
Saw a mother reach to comfort
A tiny infant’s tears
Whose small hand would grow
Be nailed to a cross
To banish all men’s fears
Of sin & death forever
Their privilege was to
Witness a royal birth
Of these two lights,
One above,
The other,
Eternity’s Love
Flung down to save all
On God’s good earth!!
