Strike the spark Let it burn Within our hearts For more and more should we yearn Of you Lord Jesus
You are Our One God Among your humble sheep Did you live, come to trod Pausing at times among us to weep But never forgot at times Your pleasant laugh to keep
So fan the sparks Those tiny flames Within our hearts Even if we think at first Too small to matter For if they do not rise & scatter But form as one Coming together A new fiery love for you May they Ignite A newer, deeper passion In our spirits excite For our living, breathing Reigning Christ!!
A political chaos, A mess, Rages outside our doors Seeming louder, louder More and more
But is it the real issue Really the Problem? Or is there something Penetrating deeper into each home Down into the Marrow of our bones?
Chaos, pain The symptoms Of a general sickness Not just in this country Worldwide a plague is this Screaming, howling, An everyday test
We sense the underlying Abnormalness, In our hearts a deviation From a clearest sanity Could it be from our hands The faults, all our own creation?
Most, or should I say all Ancient civilizations Felt an undergirding need In the heart an inner call For something outside the self Dare I call it a god? Is this the hand we seem To have been dealt?
The answer is missing Unless we pay close attention Let's stop all the searching Listen to our own urgings To words inspired by a Holy Spirit Meant in our minds to clear it This worldwide, mass confusion Take it out of the hidden darkness Away from secretive collusion This answer to the stress All our world's lamenting strife Look to our King, our Lord Our loving Jesus Christ!!
Choosing evil over God's perfect goodness Desiring darkness instead of His light Was that not worthy of punishment? So we exist, this life, now today in Our opportunity for The Reversal
Reversing our open rebellion Long ago fed by our lack of gratitude To return to God And He will return to us!!!!
He stands with arm outstretched Palm open upward Hoping to fill its emptiness once again (Like any good parent) With the warmth of His child's small hand Through our choice to reverse our life Back into the safety of His firm, powerful grip!
Receive a new body You say Be pulled out of This shell of clay? Never commit another sin Your perfection's glory Eternally to win?
Oh, how I desire to live in Such strengthened faith Allowed each day the details to trace Of God's smiling, most wonderful face Oh the joy to live among the angels wings Hearing crystal clear forever Their praises to you loudly ring Their ecstasy be allowed to capture Standing amidst their increasing rapture Loudly I sigh and deeply long To live within the beauty of Your Paradise’s glorious songs!
