A Part Of. . . .

A Part Of

Like I was created to be
A part of your great group
Your Holy Trinity!
A smaller part
As I bend down
Worship at your knees

A gift to be like You 
Should that not
My worldly values askew?
A world out of balance
So out of its mind
Tumbling along on a very thin line

Not even your angels
Did You die for
Over us Your Spirit’s healing
Did You wish to pour
To enable, re-birth
Through all the light
& darkness of this universe,
Along its massive girth

No one thing and no one else
Did You create to reflect
The goodness of Yourself
Only us!
Thank you, Dear Lord
In You only 
May I completely trust!

What’s Happening?

What’s Happened?

What's happened to that fire?
That roaring, scorching roar
A fire so strong 
Those rising flames
Redemption at its core

Sadly, 
Today it sounds a whimper
That fire now burns much dimmer
Than in days of long ago
Did it seem then any simpler?

No!
then as is now
Christ never tried to 
Simply please the crowds
Instead of praise
He only earned
A darkened funeral shroud

On a fateful Pentecost
A Spirit's fire was loosed
Bright, burning above their heads
Seen as to more clearly teach
Their God's eternal truths

So let's catch hold
Revive, rejuvenate those flames
Boldly denounce all worldly shames
So we may free ourselves & others
From satan's violent chains

A’stirring!

A‘stirring

A'stirring,
To be shaken
Awakened
Out of a reverie
So to forever be
Changed
God can do this
Whenever He
Chooses
We just have to
Let Him use us

We, His family,
His church,
Have to be willing
To be stirred
To actually see, taste,
Experience Christ's cure
For our lost brokenness
He's forever capable of it
Just be reassured!

So let's take that fresh start
Give Him all of our hearts
So He can re-create, 
Once again Himself impart
To a church, His lost world 
That needs a'stirring!!

What is it to Love?



What is it to Love?

What is love
It is to sacrifice
For the sake of another
Not only for a lover
But for a sister or 
A brother

It is to resist
Those demonic urgings
To twist 
our original innocence
& to stand in defiance
Of that satan's mindless
Darkened call 
For us over & over
Again To fall
Into His pit of hell

So give to all our brothers
Be generous with one another
And return to this earth
As was intended from its inception
And our original birth
The ability to sincerely love
& no longer from us 
Will God depart
Choosing to return us instead
To that Paradise it is
To live only within His heart!

Ferociously Wonderful!

Ferociously Wonderful!

Ferociously wonderful
Brighter in every way
Than
A million 
Or perhaps dare I say
A trillion 
Suns

Tirelessly
God, you work
Your Spirit
To usurp
satan's evils

So on and on You go
Trying to grab, grasp
(Even ferociously if You have to)
Our attention
So evil will surrender
And in our hearts
Take its last dying gasp

The Retort

The Retort

Greedmongers
Here there everywhere
Spinning words into the air
Buy this buy that
So they can have their share
Of our money

Buy things you don't really need
Here it is come & see
Only this new thing 
Will make you truly happy

So we listen to their song
How I wish they would leave 
Us alone!
They rail they rant
On & on trying to enchant

 But life has more meaning
Than what on a surface 
may be seeming
To be so important

A Savior's voice
Trying to retort
To a world's greedmongers
Says there is another better choice

A kingdom of heaven 
May first you seek
So your Dearest soul 
Will Christ pursue
Desires to keep
Within His hands
Forever to live with Him
In God's most holy & Purest
New promised land!
