Not Little
He makes the
Robin sing
The honey bee buzz
Old men cry
And babies laugh
Forces the sun’s
Blaze with fire
& sends the moon’s
pale glow at night
not one of these things
is ever out of His hand
or His sight!
Knows every black hole
And every giant star
Every planet, every comet
We are able to see
Only from afar
Holds a vast universe
In one hand
But we as tiny,
So limited man
Really see only this dirt,
This earth!
He Forces great nations
To rise
& then to fall
But,
from the
Human heart
Still hears the slightest,
Smallest call
For that is where
It starts!
Within the
Human heart
Life starts &
Ends
Not in the wind
But in His breath
His Spirit
Living within!
Knows your
Every thought
Every care,
Every smile
Every tear
So never, ever
Have a moment’s fear
That your
Living, breathing
Powerful God
is not always near!
He is not small
He is not little
He will always
Rush to hear
About your life
The pain, the strife
You live in
God is going to win
Eternity belongs to Him
And so do you
If you will only choose!!!
On Fire
Burning cross
On a hill
Your voice
Rings out
To tell us still
Of a Savior’s heart
So full of passion
And fire
Never will Christ stop
Or ever tire
Of pouring His love
Upon this earth
To light His
Glorious fire
Within His church
So his family
May lead
Darkened hearts
To see
Their Savior
On a burning cross
Seeking to save
All & every of
The eternally lost.
Chokehold
It has me by the throat
It sneers then gloats
Slithers & slides
Tightening its grip
Around my neck,
My heart,
This Chokehold
Teaching, always reaching
To infect, detect
My weaknesses
It infers, deters
Pulls, cajoles
Will it never let go?
No, it will not.
If I wish this to stop,
I must do it myself
Stop this lusting,
Discontinue the trusting
In the consuming of
Mere things, junk
How many material
Possessions
Does it take to make
One happy?
While others starve
Do I really have to be
At the heart
Of the world’s party?
So I am trying to let go
Guard my only soul
Feed it
As I try to resist
Materialism’s temptation
And shun the world’s
Blasting horns.
You’ve Been Lied To
By an enemy so dark
Seeking only to destroy
Your heart
Your very self
Powerful above us all
Do not listen to his call
Turn away, turn away
Before it’s too late
From those hot destructive
Gates
From the one who wishes
To destroy you
That satan
Turn from his angry hate
Telling you he does not exist
Oh, how he does wish
You would listen
& be utterly deceived
At that
he will laugh & dance
With glee,
To destroy God’s child
He tries to whisper, tell
Or yell
Live only for today
He’ll come to you to say
Be your own god!
Live only for your own lusts
You must just simply trust
What that evil, dark one says
So to a world
out of control
Lusting after a fool’s gold
I would say
Let Go!
A day is coming when all
Will be judged
Please do not continue or follow
Your dark trudge
Away from the light
A larger house, a fancy car
Will not help you reach
For the stars
For this you were truly destined
Even though you may be tested,
Tempted on this earth
Return to the One whose
Face you bear
Release to Him all your cares
In His light only
Come to share
Walk into His New World’s
Life
Free of all pain, guilt & strife!
Not Just Candy on the Top
Shining, glorious
On top
That bright red
Cherry
Gleaming, glistening
On top of whipped crème
A most delicious berry
Just a nice add-on
Makes it more enticing
Milkshake underneath
Solid, frothy
Coming closer to being
Desired
But tis an unnecessary
Thing
Does not decrease
Or increase
The shake beneath
Or detract from its
Power
To make us wish it
To devour
I sometimes think
Of God & Christ
We have made
Like that cherry
That piece on top
of stuff
A small enhancement,
Merely a small piece
Of fluff
In comparison to
That solid milkshake
Rest of our lives
Are we really going to
Wait until our body dies
To see reality,
God’s importance,
Why wait until that time
Of crisis?
Today, make God
The solid majority
Of your life
Desire most
The Lord
Of all the angelic hosts
The center of your being
As ephemeral you become
& more fleeting!
In The Beginning
Chronicle III
Eden’s glory on
Full review
In yellows,
Greens &
Brilliant azure blues
Unflawed life
With Perfection’s love
No displeasure felt
About which to sigh
Walking under clearest skies
Nor reason or complaint
Over which to die
Wait, what is that,
To die?
Understood not yet
Or known
No pain or regret
With which to live
Only joy & love
A thing called death
Living only in the shadows
Air is always clean
& fresh
Only peace is
Ever seen
Between earth, sky
& the sea
Man & all animals
Live only & always
In harmony to be
Food abundant
Work is no toil
No displeasure there
To ever despoil
Its sense of purpose
Or the ease
Of life lived under
Gentle trees
Swaying softly overhead
At night only rest
Is found in all their beds
Until one day
With a slight chill
An unknown shadow passes
A rustling in the grasses
Never heard before
The man stopped to sniff
The air
The woman paused
to express only a mild care
But in naivete
On that most unusual day
Neither knew from
Experience they lacked
What formidable evil
Slithered,
Invading their Paradise
Now lurking & looming
Behind their backs
