Fire
Climbing these marble steps
Approaching your throne
Is like coming to the edge
Of a deadly, roaring fire
Yet, like the moth
Myself I cannot stop
Ecstasy, bliss to be consumed
Within your fire!
The energy your put forth
It has eternal worth
Heaven’s very light
Shining rich & bright
Your Fire!
Too close & I will die
But again, I long, I sigh
To live within its flames!
Eze 1:27: from his waist up he looked like glowing metal as if full of fire and that from there down he looked like fire;. . brilliant light surrounded him.
Intimacy
A language lips will
Never know
Holds me enthralled
From crown to toes
My inner essence flames
Held inside this fleshly cage
Consumed at last yet held
Until the coming of a greater age
My being vibrates
With your love, O’ Lord
As your fingers stroke & fan
The light of life within
Held in the center of your hand
Where all true Joy & Peace begin
Lean
That cross,
Slick & sticky
from the red flood
Of your precious blood
Soaking, dripping
from above
Down to me
Each precious drop
A powerful weapon
Only it has power to stop
satan’s hatred,
storm of fury
cruel & angry,
Against our lives
As you took
Your last breath
I am left
Knowing your death
Won my freedom
While I lean my head
Against the wood
Rough & hewn
By man carved
only to disgrace
I gaze upon your
Lovely dead face
Knowing you are
Returned to your
Rightful throne of glory
I will sit at your feet
On this blood-soaked ground
I do not care if I am found
Sitting here
Leaning into your cross
I know heaven’s deepest loss
Has returned my life to me
So may it ever be
For each & all of those
Who unafraid will dare
To lean into your cross!
King Jesus
May I always live
Leaning against your cross!
Total Transformation
In time, a caterpillar becomes
The butterfly
To rise, float thru
Bluest skies
An infant becomes
A man
Meant to reach upward
For God’s hand
Both created by the
Same generous
Loving Father
Desiring, waiting
All nature again to gather
To Himself
Allow yourself to follow
That inner instinct
That interior pulling
That deepest urge
Toward this
Christ & Lord
It can be the Undoing
In your life, the total Purge
Of satan’s evil darkness
SomedayIt still amazes me, Lord
That even yet today
You want to share
Your Goodness with me
My imperfections are almost
As numerous & vast
As the span of one of
Your seasI stumble, I fall
I walk then I crawl
Down here I never
Quite pull it all
TogetherYet Someday I know
Yourself you will show
To each, to every & all
I will live to display,
on that Heaven’s Perfected Day
Only Your Shining Glory
My imperfections will be
Forever washed, wiped
Completely Away!
The Alphaand the Omega
The Alpha
&
The Omega
The beginning
And the end
To my ears
It does lend
A beautiful sound,
A Melody
It sang among
The stars
Tinkled around
The sun’s face
Following the
Road of grace
It raced
Upward, higher
Climbing the Stairway
To Paradise,
that Ecstasy, Bliss
it is to receive from
His lips
one word, one kiss
of His Perfection
So it was
Before all space
And time began
As we relate it
Before any
Water, air or land
Out of three great hearts
Was formed a
Great and mighty plan
Falling from the hands
Of three,
Father, Son, Spirit
To create another
With whom to share
The love, peace
Kindness goodness
Flowing around
Their joy-filled dance
So, with only
One single glance
They fulfilled the plan
And created their man
To live below
On a shining green world
Within the sun’s glow
And their eyes’ love
Joining in the wonder
Of their existence
It is the same today
As from our first day
On this our home,
A shining ball,
Always there was
A beginning and
There will be an end
To what is now seen
We will return to
The original plan,
Our purpose,
And live in glory
Within their eyes’ gleam
Revelation 21:6-8 He said to me: It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars — they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.
