Do They Know?
Do they know Lord?
Do they know
Do they even take it
seriously
Or regard it so
Casually
Nonchalantly
The despair, the pain
The hell that will be hell
Never hearing again
Your Name?
Even in your church
I fear
In eternity
May fall many a tear
As on the last day
Our rebellious indifference
Will be made more crystal clear!
1st Heartbeat
It's like I was supposed
To be Yours
From the first heartbeat
Created by You, for You
And through You
To share in the Glory
The Life, the Energy
That flows from You!
Praise You, Lord God
So lift up holy hands
Join in His flow alone
That guards our hearts,
Our homes, our land
Because
Only upon Christ's cross
Can anyone ever begin to take
A firm, Eternity’s Stand!!
A Golden Cross
A cold day arose
Over a cross of gold
Never was one so sublime
Throughout all
knowledge of our history & time
But for only this one slice of a day
Would be it allowed to hold full sway
Over the Son of God
Even through all our jeers & our taunts
His holy purpose we could never daunt
Bearing all our hatred,
Toward heaven he raised
A face so bloodied & so gaunt
But even then,
Was our Lord able back to win
from the depths of dark satan's clutches
The glory of our precious souls
So that at last & in the end
We an infinity could live within
The brightness of His Holy Glow!
Second Death What is this I hear about A second death? I thought death occurred When I take my last breath And that is it, the end. But now God You say no. For us You say You have another goal After all, We are eternal living souls Never ceasing to exist What a wonderful surprise! To live with You forever In Your celestial skies But wait, You say I have a free will For yourself you must choose Follow my Son's path His obedience until the last For once your heart stops & the divide between heaven & earth you move across There awaits a reckoning So, As God now stands beckoning Choose obedience's eternal Paradise Because For your rebellion's disobedience For your second death, Nothing but an endless Dark Abyss Will be left
Huddling We huddle in buildings On one particular day To throw a few coins up onto a stage Mumbling, Sing just one more song Hoping it won't last Too long Is that really The picture We want to paint Of today's struggling Church Do we go just in case We might need God to Help us out of A sudden lurch? What's happened To the passion, Devotion Of a first century It grew rapidly, Even exponentially Ah, to see That increase today!! But It takes courage Putting God first Before everyone, Everything So Let our songs ring Out loud the words sing Into our daily actions Out onto The busy, chaotic streets As other souls we meet In our hearts Do not let Christ's examples Abate As more & more His Holy Spirit We come to live out & to joyfully imitate!!
This was the most important event in human history. The day the God of peace and justice decided to exact our punishment for our rebellion against Him on His One and Only Son, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of the Only Living, Breathing God who willingly took the task upon Himself for reconciling us to His and our Heavenly Father. Praise You Lord God and Jesus Christ Your Only Son for Your Mercy and Forgiveness! Have a very God-blessed day!!!
