For Too Long
For too long God’s family
His church
Has sat silent
On too many subjects
Is this not a form of neglect?
All those eyes every day
You will look into
Faces you will peruse
Each and every one
Is the face of a someone
Ending up
In one of only two places
Do we not care
As we return their stares
If it’s an eternal Paradise
Or a hell brought about
Within some demon’s sick device
We are meant to be
His hands, his feet
So get out there
Make known his fame
Carry his name
And help save Christ’s world
This glowing, rotating
Large green pearl
So all may see his light
And a Holy Spirit’s flame re-ignite!
Faith
My faith is all I have
To carry me
To the other side
Before I leave
Before I die
Large, monstrous
That great gift
Given so we may sift
Thru all life’s pains
Knowing, at times,
It will cause major rifts
Between us
But even God Himself said
As He walked, talked
And eventually bled
I come not to bring peace
But a sword
A man’s enemies
Will be his own family
So do not be discouraged
If in your own life
These words come true
For I have seen & known
Never will He leave you
Never will He forsake you
God forever His promises will keep
Even as you slumber
Even as you sleep!
Divorce, Divorce
Divorce, Divorce
Such a slippery slimy course
Icky, sticky
Shouldn’t we feel some remorse?
Signs of the times
Mobs in the culture all cry
But who put them in charge
Seems almost like
A ridiculous farce
Shall we begin to spar?
Who gets the last word
Surely there’s someplace to look
You say there is an older book
Which answers many questions
That within its black and white lines
God’s Holy Spirit beckons
Listen to its words
So once again we may return
Faithfulness, sanctity
Peace, security
True love back to our homes
And no longer out in the darkness
Will our children be forced to roam!
Already There
You’re already in eternity
Rest on this most assuredly
God’s time is always
The NOW
Never ceasing
His wisdom lovingly endows
If you will but listen
Let yourself with a new Spirit
At last be christened
He will
Change,
Rearrange
YOU
To fit into
His Eternity’s Now
So His strength may
YOU
His Love imbue
YOU Are
You are the flame
Within the candle’s light
You are the fire
Within its heat
The wind inside each
Taken breath
The song that causes
My small heart to beat
Without YOU,
I would not,
Could not
Begin to exist
Your love alone helps me
Each of this dark world’s lusts
To resist
Praise you,
Thank you
YAHWEH,
God,
Father,
For helping me along
Each of life’s most treacherous
Precarious turns & twists!!
Infinity’s Hordes
I can’t explain it
Most times do not
Understand it
Have always felt
Out of step
With all that goes on
Around me
Life flows
Ordinary things
Business of existing
But I stand still
Alone
Until I look up
See your face
& breathe in
One deep breath
Hordes of angels
Surround me
To do your bidding
I can feel it
Getting stronger
Lasting longer
Making ready
For that One Great Day
Waiting for that
One Last Word
To GO!
Now it will begin
It will be the end
Of satan’s sway
Over earth
Beginning its new birth
Hordes will reassert
God’s complete control
Meant to correct
Our planet’s daily
Rotation
Around a no longer
Needed sun
As we run
Into ecstatic Joy
To live with YOU
Into infinity!!!
