Rest That physical pump Inside my chest Someday will stop As my fragile shell Receives its eternal rest In peace I pray I will be allowed to go If while on earth That is what I tried to sow Enter God's rest You children of the King Rise up in joy On the back of His great eagle's wings Rise in spiritual prosperity As you prance, dance forever In God's joyfilled gaiety
Tears Many tears Upon the earth do fall Many voices raise Laments, they call God hears each word Each whispered thought Within His own heart’s walls Are they forever caught Does He do the same For all our tears As they release All our pain, our fears Does He gather Each tear as it drops Into His loving hands Do they make their final stop? Does He perhaps return All tears back to His earth From whence they came So they new life may seek to reclaim To water the plants For our souls do the same If so, it only goes to remarkably show That even tears can make things grow!!
Original Creation Created in the image Of the only One Not any human being Stamped with God's likeness His very form Down deep into your core That was the original purpose For us To walk, talk, be Like the Holy One of Israel But instead, We turned toward Our own fleshly shells Following selfish desires Turned against those Lofty golden spires Of His heaven So now today He fights To win us back From our own evil, selfish ways Of which there seems to be no unending lack So in the Now of Your Today Turn, Return To following that love's song That original romance With your God that was intended (He will not be offended) And while you still have a chance Join in His Eternal, Universal Dance!
Faith My faith is all I have To carry me To the other side Before I leave Before I die Large, monstrous That great gift Given so we may sift Thru all life’s pains Knowing, at times, It will cause major rifts Between us But even God Himself said As He walked, talked And eventually bled I come not to bring peace But a sword A man’s enemies Will be his own family So do not be discouraged If in your own life These words come true For I have seen & known Never will He leave you Never will He forsake you God forever His promises will keep Even as you slumber Even as you sleep!
To Trim God does not waste words Nor does He mince them Away with the useless fat Of words will He always trim Saying what He means For He is unable to lie Upon His words you may depend Or someday may be required to die When He says don’t Do something He means it So forever leave it That thing & don’t do it! His words are there To bless you Although at times They will most certainly Test you But still in that deepest part Your innermost heart Allow them to caress you!
The Cell Alone And in my empty cell I try to find the words To tell Of Your Great Beauty You come to me Across a dark, dampened floor Only the light on Your Face Helping my soul to soar Over & above Whatever life’s tomorrow May hold for me in store So, Whatever prisons you Must face Only on our Christ’s Loving face Will you be allowed to trace The strength, courage You will need For your songs to sing Of this Prince of Peace This Heavenly King as upward toward His Heavenly gates He alone carries each soul On the Purest of Glory’s wings!
