The Trust
Cancer 2 times has
Called my name
Life for me does
Not feel just the same
My time down here
Grows more limited
It may not even much
Longer be extended
BUT
What awaits for me
Is held within a Trust
In greater hands than mine
Transcending the restrictive
Limits of our sense of time
From this Trust
In my daily borrows
Therein lies Christ’s strength
To overcome all pain & sorrows
Never was I meant to live
In cruel poverty
But to receive the resources
In His Kingship’s sovereignty!
Praise You, Lord Jesus!
Although the use of
This Trust
May come with a few
Conditions or regulations
Never meant to be shunned
Were His love’s guidelines
To enjoy the pleasures
That await
As you are allowed to enter
Between Heaven’s
Welcoming gates
With each step’s forward thrust
Open wide your arms to receive
The lavish riches of this,
His Glorious Trust!
SPIRIT OVERFLOWS
You touch
The tip
Of Your finger
To Your lip
Then to
The very tip
Of my hand’s
Finger
Where You let
It linger
For only one heart’s beat
And then
It overflows
So that it too may grow
This seed
It wishes
To enlarge
Itself
I take what
You offer
Fill my heart’s coffers
Then silently
It flows
Until it reaches
Down to my toes
& I touch
The tip of
My finger
Where I let
It linger
To another’s
Your Spirit
To be
Passed on
Another does
The same
So Your
Most Glorious Name
May be passed
Finger to finger
Until at last
Enough
It’s been passed
Until no one
Else remains
All has been done
To save
Each & every one!!
The Broken Restored
My soul was broken
In pieces shattered
Only You could collect
The pieces
From where
They were scattered
Into the darkness
Your fingers reached
& found them
I stand restored,
Whole, once again
A new creation
Is for what you wish
But only You, Dear Savior
That truth can seal
With Your Holy Kiss!
A FIERY Dance
When I think of Jesus
I think of fire & a heat
Found only in
the cadence
& the beat
Of His Intensely Holy Dance!
So trembling, with moving feet
Across the room I sweep
Caught up in, entranced
Within Your Holy Dance!
Limbs intertwining
By your side I am sighing
For this enchanting dance,
We should ever be so willing
To suffer any reprimand
Or even the risk of dying
From the hand of man!
Death
A pulling out of the body
Will come for everyone
A removal of the familiar
It is a valley we must all pass through
So prepare yourself
While you still have a chance
While it is your Today
While you’re still this side of the grave
Do not listen to satan’s song & dance
Of denial
About
Who owns this world & us
In a darkened voice do not place your trust
Only God promises renewal of your life
A final calm, relief from all pain & strife
Why do we ignore this deep but
Simple truth
So,
In this world amidst your daily struggles, toil
Remember
Death is something no one can avoid
Oh, Please!
You say,
Oh please not this again
On that subject please do not begin
But I say yes
I feel compelled to do my best
To convince you
People do not want to hear today
Especially in the US of A
About another level of existence
To this among the world
Is a strong, strong level of resistance
Wanting to believe merely on the physical
Minds throw up all kinds of an obstacle
To believing in a supernatural
Of angels, demons, good, evil
Or heavens forbid, a God!
For them I feel most sorry
They miss out on Christ’s love
His kindness, mercy, joy-filled glory
On the face of this planet
Will there never be a more beautiful story!
Caught up in money’s lust
In themselves alone have they to trust
& only physical pleasures,
The most fleeting of all treasures,
Ignoring an inner voice
Reminding that denying death
For no one is a choice
So while they wish to wallow
Only in this physicality’s mud
I hope you will choose to follow
The Holy One from Above
& the forgiveness
Of His Beauty’s Overwhelming Love!!
