The Remedy
A world,
My own country
Awash with
New, old corruptions
Causing all these
Unfamiliar disruptions
To marriages
Governments,
Our born and unborn
Children
Perverting, wasting
Lives
Why oh why
Will we not accept
The Remedy
Stares us in the face
Instead of listening
To our foe, that
Ancient enemy
We destroy ourselves
With disobedience
Ingest contaminated
Ingredients
From a satan so devious
He rains filth
Upon our heads
I pray for my country
That I love so much
Our money states
'In God we trust'
Then let's do that
Return to Him
He will return to us
So let's arise,
Wake up
Give our best, strongest
Thrust
To save as many
As we can
As Christ holds open
With His own nail scarred
Hands
The gates to His Eternity's
Promised Land!
Uncomfortable
This doesn't really feel like home
I rant, I rave
I moan,
Even give a little
Groan
It stirs in my blood
A longing, this need
Sometimes just a trickle
Or quite often
A loud, roaring flood
A need arises
Raises its head,
A flower's tender bud,
Then opens
Inside my deeper place
I start to recognize
That for which I hurt,
I sigh
I believe it is this,
This place doesn't fit
This world, this place
Well, it's just wrong
My heart, it misses
Dear Lord, Your face
My fingers itch, they burn
Longing to be allowed
Once again to return
Close enough to trace
Your beauty, Your love's grace
But for now I must live here
This becomes ever more clear
Until I leave this fragile shell
However, for today,
You desire others of You
I must tell
This world's pain,
Which we all daily see
Was never meant to be
Christ's Reconciliation
My Faith's Compensation
A Return to Your perfection
In silence I stand & wait
As one of your heaven's gates
Swings slightly open
Daring to call my name!
Immortality
The physical shell will die
Cease to function
But wait!
Dry your eyes
Don't cry!
Good news is heralded
Shining like a rare emerald
No longer for you
Will life ever again be imperiled
Christ has been resurrected
Trumpet blasts of heaven
Freely flow from above
So no longer need you question
Your Immortality!
No matter the hell
At this level life may throw
Cling to Christ
He will lift your soul
You will transcend
To a joy-filled life
with Him
That will
Never end!!!
Distracted
I turn my head
from side to side
Distracted
I sigh
There must be a better
Reason
Than this
For which I exist
Perhaps I should
Just desist
From all these
Distractions
To buy, buy
Consume, consume
I think I just want
To leave this room
Too many distractions
All these man-made
Contraptions
Most only man-made junk
They buzz, they whirl,
They even clunk
I think I am at last sunk
From the pile, my stash
Boy, on it,
I've lost a pile of cash
Until a still, small voice
Whispers into my inner ear
I'm just right here
Do not fear
For your life
I can give a better purpose
From this chaotic
3 ring circus
I created you to share
In me
My great beauty
My love
From heaven's gates
Is falling
A higher calling
Meant for everyone
In my great name
Must you follow
Let go of those deceptions
Distractions so hollow
Let me be your only God
As upon this earth
Will you so briefly trod
Until I call you back to myself
So listen to that quiet voice
It comes from only me
Still trying to get you to see
You were created to be
Forever with me
The one true lover
Of your soul
For that was my truest goal
To share myself with you
In my Eternity's Paradise!!
My Refuge
My refuge
You, Lord God,
Are my sacred place
In You only & forever
Do I truly feel safe
As a lost world's chaos
It's broken darkness
Wildly around me spins
You are that lamp
That light
To my soul,
Your love's warmth
Do You lend
So take me in
In the shelter
Of Your loving wings
Secure me
For I am deeply tired
Of all my wanderings
& in satan's winds
For me,
Let there be
No more scatterings.Praise You Lord God
Praise You!!
True Worth
I know I am
A sinner
Steeped
In sin
Since my birth
My only true worth
Lies deep
Within Your Name
But
To worship
You incessantly
From the start
Does this
To my life
True joy impart
The privilege
To carry
Your Name
Not for profit
Nor for fame
Joy such as this
From nothing else
Will you gain
Oh my
Jesus, Holy Master
Can you not
Perfect me
A little faster
Then others too
May see
And receive the bliss
Of just one kiss
Ah,
Your love's perfection!!
