Onto The Streets


Onto The Street


He went out
onto the streets
For it was always His
Original Intention
The lost to save and to seek

Sure, in temple courts
He did indeed also teach
But let it be known
That Christ also
Walked the streets
Where the lost, the blind,
The lame
Were never beyond his reach

So take Him out there
For church walls cannot
Will not
Were never meant to contain,
Our King of Glory
It's always the same story
Remember,
Man-made walls were
Never made His words
To imprison
Death could not stop
His Strength, Love or Grace
For Jesus is alive
His has eternally arisen!!!

His Kingship!


His Kingship

Get down on your knees
Oh broken, lost world
As the KING of GLORY
Passes by
May I hear an 
Audible sigh?

Or maybe not
Because
Of one thing
I fear,
We forgot

Coming from so many
Pulpits of today
Of a very large influence
Are words. . . 
Jesus loves you
But of the same pursuance
Should be
JESUS IS LORD,
MASTER, KING!
Of these facts should be
A total congruence!!!!

So many spiritual leaders
Heard today
Strip Christ and the Father
Of their AUTHORITY
Their POWER
Over this earth
This planet
We currently inhabit
This world
This large, glowing
Revolving green pearl

For only this world's Creator King
Has the right to command
His creation
Of this fact the teachers should
Not forget nor shun
It leaves their listeners
Without the correct information

So, put God and Christ
Back on our heart's throne
And take ourselves off
For in life, 
There is at least still
One sure thing
He is our most gracious,
Compassionate, loving,
But ALMIGHTY KING!!

Idols!

Idols

Idols, Idols
Everywhere
I look, 
I stare
Turning my head
I can see
Enticing, me
To Believe
In their goodness
What a mess!

You have yours
I have mine
They’re hard to let go
Hard to unwind
Most of the flesh
To understand
Not such a great test
Power, Money
Material Possessions 
Sex
At time, they can lead
To extremes of regret

In love with ourselves
We run, we fume, we struggle
At times, in singles
Or often in doubles
We collect, we hoard
Then grasp
We should feel insecure
Nothing down here really 
Lasts

Reach for the eternal,
A Holy Immortal God
Please, oh please
In Him learn to trust
He desires to love us!
His blessings
They can be known
So, don’t stand out in the
Dark, all alone
Reach for wisdom
And take yourself off 
The idol’s throne!!

Then You’re Not!

Ezekiel 33:7-8 (NIV) “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. When I say to the wicked, ‘You wicked person, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.

Then You’re Not

In days of old
Oh say maybe 60, 70 years ago
Pastors did not seem to hesitate
To tell the truth
To try to remove sin
By its root
But today, well . . .

They say Jesus loves you
Which, again, is one of
God's eternal truths
But
What of other words 
In His Holy Book
Perhaps, we should take a look

If you love me, you will obey 
My commands
But they must know
Upon which guides
To take their stand
If you don't tell them their mistakes
Fate of not just them
but whole world is at stake
Then You're NOT being a good 
Watchman on the wall
And

Their blood will be on your head!

Not my words
But to Ezekiel, a Holy prophet, said
Long ago by God Himself
So do not be afraid
To take a Holy stand
Be God's courageous, holy man
Rebuke a culture's sin
Boldly,
Loudly
So more and more souls
In this world may Christ win
And new generations may arise
To march into Heaven's gates
Through eternity's celestial skies!

Remember,
God will denounce their sins 
On judgement day
Over each human soul 
No one holds more sway!

The Third Temple!


A Third Temple!

Today In Jerusalem
You may hear some clamor
Sounds, voices
In the air float rumors
A third temple they say
Will bring for our earth
A much better day!!

But don't they know
There already is one!
It is you and me
If in our God
Christ Jesus
You wholeheartedly
Do believe!!

Christ does not 
Need dead, cold stones
In which to survive
It is within the human heart
He comes best to live
And to most assuredly still thrive!!

As Christian believers
We are living stones
Built up together
As one
For God's Spirit
A newer Home
Along with His Holy Son
Of this newer temple
His Living Cornerstone!!

Once for all
Christ's blood purifies
For a whole world 
To see
So with faith
Anyone, everyone
May forever live
At the foot of God's throne
His deeply loved,
Glorified, Perfected
Living Stones!!!!

Stripped


Stripped

Stripped
Meaning to
Be destroyed
Removed
As in to strip old paint
Now old undesirable varnish
Remove old tarnish

As I stand still
Look around
Unwillingly caught
In all the world's sounds
My spirit feels there is
Something amiss
Something
Imprisoned into
A darkened twist
It is our sense of reality

There is a loss of authority
Not of ours, oh no, no
In our own we boast all day
Over that we keep a tight grip
Over that most will sing
All day long
Through loose, smiling lips
It is of someone else's loss

Into the air madly have 
We tossed
Christ's authority
Our Creator's Sovereignty
Over everyone, everything
From Him His power
Have we STRIPPED

Today even inside
Large and small churches
Pastors just say
Jesus loves you
Which, of course, is the truth
But downplay HIS KINGSHIP
Is it ignorance or fear
Is it now today
They're afraid to say
He is also our
Righteous Judge
Full Authority, Power
Only belongs to Him
All of life's rules, guidelines
Come from Him

In the middle of today's
Broken world with pain so rife
In its confusion, 
satan's evil, full of strife
We need to return to the truth
Of our One true leader's power
And to bend the knee
And refuse to strip Christ
Of His rightful authority
HIS OVERWHELMING MAJESTY
AND UNENDING GLORY!
