New Day!

New Day!

Rushing, crashing
Waves of life
Come washing over me
From a tumultuous,
Increasingly treacherous sea!

Brokenness comes into 
The line of the shore
With a raging, angry
Dangerous roar
What is it that they want
My frail, tiny boat
At last
To completely swamp?

For this is what it seems
As to my craft I cling
And scream
Those waves keep 
Coming,
Coming
In large volumes,
Positively reams
Sent by that satan
That oh so ancient enemy

But of this life he 
Will not have the last word
Because as quickly as he comes
Away will he be turned
By a larger, grander, 
More Powerful Ship
Will he be
Destroyed,
Forever spurned 

With the unfolding of just one
Bright, white sail
satan is completely undone, 

Rising in a brighter boat
Is God’s Only Son
Golden on the horizon
As a rapidly rising sun
In Pure Joy,
That New Day of our
Lord & King has finally 
and at last come!!!

Miracle

Miracle

What would cause
A god
Of any kind
Rich, wealthy
Most sublime

To step 
From His perfection’s
Heaven 
To literally
Slum
With us?

This was no impulse
Done with intent
A driven purpose
Such a love
Beyond robust!
So this is the miracle
For us!

That one so 
Wondrous
Of beauty,
Power
Would step 
Down 
To save us
From a most dreadful
Hour 

For without this
Miracle
Only a place most
Terrible
Awaited

So do not 
Hesitate
Accept what
Christ
Longs to give
A better 
Fate 

Life 
With His 
Beauty
Into
Infinity!

Rushes

Rushes

Life rushes
Sometimes it
Even crushes
Until hearts stop
Breathing ceases
& we see,
Are released
From our dulled shell

To another place
Us You will send
Even as we
Our bodies lend
Back to the dust

We need to prepare
So our spirits
May we share
With Yours
At last
To enjoy
Rejoice

Infinity
Only a beginning
Of pure joy
So I implore
I ask
Do not let this
Forever pass
Your spirit by!

Hacks

Hacks

Those spiritual hacks
Can catch you
Will stab you in the back
So be most careful

Coming from a place of darkness
Bringing only strife, extreme pain
Arising from a satan’s fury
Coming sometimes in ones
Or often groups, in a great flurry
By winds of evil sent
To destroy, maim, 
Their only intent

But
A power stronger
More intense
Can dissolve, destroy
Within only one word
A Holy Name
Always it is one
The same
JESUS

Demons have no strength
By God’s Holy Hands
Will be forever rent
None of hell’s dark things
Will ever overcome
As saints stand & out loud sing
His Name
His Praise
In this,
His Forever Of Days!

Even Though

Even Though

Even though
As the spirit leaves
The body
Becomes an empty
Carcass
Even though as evil screeches
Its joy
Thinking it has won
Frenzied in a dance 
Most heartless

From a place of new honor
As you glance only briefly
Back as the demons rejoice
Christ comes most sweetly
Takes your hand
To show His Promised Land

So the ignorance 
of the darkness
Will never know 
true victory
For them it remains 
a mystery
So through your obedience
In your life’s history
In Christ you 
will be allowed
With Him 
to live most blissfully!

Seas

Seas

Seas, they come 
& they go
Over my head
& around my arms
I feel
As my heart begins
To reel

Liquid,
A living Spirit also
Encircling 
Surrounding
Every movement, 
Every thought
In its power, 
This Spirit’s sea
Do I feel caught

Within this moving
Sovereignty
Your joy, Your glee
Entranced
As I watch, see
Causes my heart to sing
Your Name
Yahweh!

Always, ever
Mysterious
Yet alive 
Is most impervious
To the loud demands
Of a world most resistant
Around its darkness 
Also swirls

But, 
Your tides You send
Always coming only to cleanse!
