Temporary . . . . . For Now!

Temporary. . . For Now!

Temporary
For now,
That's all I know
So where is my permanent
For that,
I must look to the firmament
Over my head

Waiting, 
In earth's stead
Angels,
All manners of 
Heavenly devices
Ah, 
Such relief
They my soul entice
And
Certainly
Will more than suffice

So,
Dare to look up
To an eternal
All powerful God
As upon this
Temporary earth
We all trod
So be Holy
Trust, trust, trust
In God!
Never will He lead you
Astray
Always and forever
He leads to infinity's
More glorious, eternal days!!

Violin Master

Lord Jehovah, God
Fine tune my soul
To respond to you
As the violin's master
Its strings do command
So may only your hands
Tips of Your fingers
Pull forth the music
From my life

Each note a result
Of just your skill
Your knowledge
Your beauty
Your graciousness
So a listening world's ears
May receive a taste
Of the glory
The beauty of Your face!

PRAISE YOU LORD GOD PRAISE YOU!

U!


U

U healed our diseases
U raised our dead
Drove out darkest demons
Fed us until it became clear
Of U, is there
Nothing ordinary
Nothing mere

U grew and grew in power
Until man's authority
(held in satan's grip)
Of u began to fear
Staked u to a cross
Took ur life so dear
And then,
In ignorance so sheer
At ur last breath 
Did they cheer,
Did they sneer
(at ur last sigh
Sent themselves
To hell to reside)

So let us not today
Do the same
Crown Christ
As your only King
As our voices
In heaven may ring
Dear Lord Jesus
To glorify and praise
Only U!!

PSALM 150:6 LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD. PRAISE THE LORD!

Haiku for a Sunny Spring Day!

Today in Middle Tennessee it very cold but oh, the sun is out so bright. It at least looks very beautiful. It had been fairly warm for this time of year so a lot of the flowering trees are already in bloom and a few buttercups were out. I just hope this short cold snap doesn’t damage all the small flowers. Anyway, it is pretty outside. I just wanted to share a quick Haiku below with you. May God bless your day!

Haiku for a Spring Morning
(even though it’s very cold)

Spring’s sun warms the earth
Christ’s love lights the darkest soul
God’s great grace fills both!!

The Shaken!


The Shaken

It is for this
I long
I sigh
Not I
That lives
But
Christ that lives
Within me
This gift
Not from us
It is Heaven's
Holiest decree
Comes about 
Thru submission
On bended knee

So give God as much 
As you can
He gave His passion's best 
To each woman
Every man
For this we should 
Do our best
And
Come To understand
Without Christ's giving 
There would have been
For us no taking
And now 
In our today,
Evil's hold
On all our souls
Has at last been 
Eternally SHAKEN!!

Follow me
And with 
Those 2 words only
Christ turns his back
To start leading
So I sigh
It is my choice only
Whether to
Accept this task

Again I sigh
Take a deep shaky breath
Then 
I put one foot in
Front of the other
Look ahead
Toward Him
Where He is leading
Other sisters 
Other brothers

Do I dare
Does he even care?
Of course he does
He glances back
Toward my way
I've made a decision
Here stuck 
In this spot
I no longer
Wish to stay

He has my heart

The course will be 
Dangerous
This world for sure
I will
Not please
It may even knock me
To my knees
But in his book
It declares 
It will be worth it
For 
After all,
He, His Father, His Spirit
They are the only ones
Who are beautifully
Gloriously perfect!!!

Perfect love, joy, peace
Found only in
His footsteps
Only in His Spirit's realm
May we perfectly dwell
So with one last kiss
I will wish this world well
Turn my back on its 
Brightest allures
And accept 
From my Master's 
Own nail scarred hands
For all my darkest sins
His wonderful, brightest
Cures!!!
