Plain & Simple
Plain & simple
Words on a page
Without faith in
That red blood of Christ
All condemned to
a darkened hell
No great mystery
This is the truth
For any to understand, to tell
From a book of truth
God warns
At times
Even at us storms
Using examples from
The world’s past
Trying to convince us
Before like a stone
We could be thrown
Into that dark hole
Greater forces
Gather gentlest voices
Trying to win, cajole
Our Savior, Christ,
God, our Creator/Father
Holy Spirit urging
From words in His sacred scroll
Loving, to also console
For His greatest goal
Is to win back each soul
Intact, in whole
Back into His Loving Arms!
Celestial
A great army gathers
A trumpet blast will scatter
All tranquility
At its head, Your Holy Son
No enemy carries the ability
From this One to run
Each warrior is armed, braced
Swords, shields in place
Powerful & determined
Your battle plans, Lord Jesus
In Your book so holy
The words clearly do confirm and
Set forth!
So, beloved, while you
Still have a chance
As around this world, your life
You take a glance
Make sure you make the
Best choice
For to be on the right side
Of the sword
In your now, you must listen
To Christ’s voice!!
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 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
UP
Up
Between earth
And sky
A Savior died
Not easily
But in agony
Sweat, blood
That bright red fluid
The only power
To unleash the flood
Of God's forgiveness
So the next time
You feel alone, lost
Just look up
To the man
On the cross
By faith will
You be lifted up
To live in Him
Between His golden
Gates you'll walk
And His eternal love
Forever win!
Into the OutWhy do we try
To hold within
What was meant
to be so out
Buildings were never
Meant to contain
Words powerful
Enough to sustain
An entire planet
Do we really believe
A church's walls
Are the only place
A person's soul
Can feel the call
Of Christ
It can happen
on the streets
It can happen
Where we eat
Sometimes,
Even as we sleep
So, God's church
Get out do That work
Heaven's great loss
Brought about on a cross
For us also to sacrifice
Others to save
Bring to them a better way
For our whole planet
See a completely new day!!
