This ONE Holy God
God Himself decided
Creator of this Unending Universe
Knowing ahead the pain
To come to live on earth
Traveled through the
Darkened mists
To bring to His man’s story
A new and better twist
Thus,
This our Prince of Peace
Came to love and save
From the rich, the powerful
To the least of the least
Of the least
By walking out of an empty grave!
We should celebrate that long-ago night
When all of Heaven’s glorious light
Came to live, to rest
Within a fragile, human shell
So all of Heaven’s angelic choirs could
Loudly sing & tell
Of Our God’s unending love for us!
Lost World
who would want to live
in a world without
God’s purpose
Where boundaries have no name
each human heart
choses the beginning
of its own tumultuous game
no structure
no solidity
only constant fluidity
rampant running
from one idea to another
as they lay sunning
on rocks just waiting
another innocent
to be baiting
not realizing each stone
carries the lust of
each heart’s own depravity
guidelines are good
standing out from the crowds
as they should
but just make sure they come
from God’s reliable source
with them you may run
a more worthy course
of purpose
not caught in a nervous circus
so stay away from the
darkened service
of a ‘Lost World’
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!
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!
Too Archaic?
Evil
An old, archaic word
You say
But just listen
If you will but stay
Is not man also ancient
On the face of
This revolving planet?
Also, since antiquity
Yet basically
Man is as the same
Since all the history of
Our yesterdays
Thru & up to
All the current of
Our present’s todays!
So,
Do not overrule that
Ancient word
Evil
Spun from the workings of
A devil
satan seeks only to destroy
Every man, woman
Girl & even the youngest of
All the boys
Work against it
Within yourself
Try to overcome it
Seek God’s light,
His Spirit’s pure power
To win for each of us
Of life these hours
That can come at us
In such a resounding,
Cascading crush!
Two Sides to Each Coin
Two sides to our God
Both beautiful to see
One and then the other
Each
Yet completely necessary
Flip Him over
Both sides blindingly brilliant
& equally significant
Neither to neglect
In this way, we peruse
His totality to inspect
Yet today,
Many teachers
Supposedly of The Way
Prefer over the other
Only one
Disregarding His Being
His Total Sum
Teaching,
Wanting the blessings
But leaving out obedience
Ignoring in His book
All written evidence
His is Master
& Our Judge
So,
Polish up both sides of
That coin
Bring both sides to a
Sparkle
And accept both sides
Of His intensely loving
Gospel
