UP
Up
Between earth
And sky
A Savior died
Not easily
But in agony
Sweat, blood
That bright red fluid
The only power
To unleash the flood
Of God's forgiveness
So the next time
You feel alone, lost
Just look up
To the man
On the cross
By faith will
You be lifted up
To live in Him
Between His golden
Gates you'll walk
And His eternal love
Forever win!
My Value!
My value does not
come from you
But the One who
Came to recreate
Me anew
To Christ
Is all of my loyalty due
So
Forgive me, dear friends
If I've learned to refuse
To listen to what
You tell me to do
My trust for my value
Belongs in that One
The Only One,
Who died For me
It's in His eyes
That I sink or swim
In whom all my worth,
This world’s reality
Begins & ends!!
Our Citadel
There is a rumbling of the ground
A most horrific sound
Screams our name
But
We hide
Inside our Citadel
Safe, secure
Or so we think
But in one blink
As Jericho’s walls,
You realize they fell
So too may ours
With only one more yell
This Citadel, this church
Could be destroyed
Do we really want
A world so devoid
Of a loving God
Should we not that
At all costs try to avoid?
We have to get out
To testify
Christ’s name
To glorify
To save others
From a yawning pit of hell
That Awaits
For Those if they refuse
Who seal their own fate
So take heart,
Have courage
Refuse the demons
Biting at our heels
Rise up, church
Once more assert
The beauty of God’s will
As once again His kingdom
Of love on this planet
To all who will testify
Grants from sin their freedom!
Everywhere
God is everywhere
Even when you breathe
He's filling that air
Not just in any one location
He's in the place you are
If you wish for a quickening
Then inside of yourself there
Must be a great awakening
But,
We must show up first
If we truly desire to see
The Living Spirit's outburst
Wherein we daily live
Completely back to God
Ourselves must we give
Put God first above everything
Let us put aside distractions
Large houses, faster cars, money
Entertainment, useless possessions
Lusts from a world so broken
Of your soul do not give
Your only Creator
Just a few small, paltry tokens
If we give Him our very best
Then God for us will do the rest
So this will be our greatest test
As first we must
Return to Him
Then He will return to us
To heal our sins’ ugly scars
No matter where you are!!
Everywhere
Brightest light in
The middle of my darkest night
Seated on a throne
Whose Spirit always roams
To seek & save the lost
Infinity's power fills
Your every hour
For joy making my heart sing
As angels voices ring
To secure your name
Yahweh!!!
Embed that name
Deep, deep into your heart
For it does impart
great power in all situations
It is to be received, reported
Out To all the nations
For their sin's abating
For their re-creating
As all of heaven's mighty armies
Stand waiting for His signal
For His powerful return to earth
To remove forever that most evil stigma
(satan’s darkness)
From all of His creation
Throughout all man's generations!!
Inside
Wearing only human flesh
Inside heavens gates
I am your guest
Invited in only thru
The Purest blood
With it You wish only
Each heart to flood
But everyone must
Decide for themselves
If to obey the beckoning call
To reverse our original, horrific fall
Or
To stand outside those shining gates
Left Alone In the dark
With a howling beast
Watching those inside
Join in Your royal feast
Ah. . . . Your light's grace, mercy & love!!
