Drawn

Irresistibly drawn
To this light
Stronger and stronger
To this urge I fear
I no longer
Feel a stranger

Increasing almost
Every day
Sometimes in
More than one way
Like a moth to the flame
Hearing You speak my name
I beat my frail wings
Against the thin veil
Of this flesh
Separating for now
You and I
Ah at times can
Life be quite the test!

Yet today I can just be still
At the command of my God's will
And enter into His desired rest
Which at times I must confess
For me is hardly ever easy
So for now
I will warm my wings
As I listen heaven still sings
Of the warmth, glory in the light
Cascading from Your
Wondrous love & might!

The Bond!

The Bond!

My job,
To worship
PRAISE
Every day
Every way

For your beauty,
Goodness
Love
To give my worship
Creates the bond
Of my love for you

This cord
This give,
Receive
Creates the path
Through which,
God, You supply
My life's needs
Ah, my praise,
My worship
That Immortal bond!

Gushing!


Gushing

Radiating your goodness
Wonderfulness, magnificence
Made us to share in
Your youness
Through You
For you
Alive only at your request
This rare unique gift
Gives me joy

All your beauty
Shining overhead
In each star
Each glowing planet
In each blushing flower
Every human smile
Living in each act
Of kindness
I adore you
Idolize only you
Life, goodness, purity
Love, perfection
Gushing from you
YOU are our JOY!
Praise You, Lord God
Praise You!

Does Not Matter


Does Not Matter

I will not listen
I do not care
So go ahead
Spit your ugly words
Out into this darkened air

I have a Holy Savior
Jesus Christ is His Name
You no longer
Have the power
To cause Him any pain

He now sits enthroned
Above this swirling globe
For you see
All my sin
With His royal blood
He most joyfully atoned

Today it does not matter
How much evil you
Spew forth
For as my tiny life
Winds down
Runs out its only course

I choose Christ
On Him I set my sights
He is the greatest
Lover of my small soul
Even though
You may seek
Upon me to take
A deadly toll
Against HIM
You always lose!!

Prayer


Prayer

How do you
Not want to pray
Every single day
Not have something
To say
To the One who made you

Don't you secretly hope
Dream, desire, wish
To see something higher
Much better than this
Ugly, mass of confusion
The abuse?

Such great physical beauty
All around us
Literally trying to
Pound into us
The magnificence
Of its Creator
He uses all living things
As His great theatre

So lean into His Spirit
In Eternity will you live
Never to regret it
So pray now,
Pray hard
Empty out your heart
For you
It will create
The beginning
To your soul's
Blessed, new & fresh start!

Return


Return

Gathering,
A great darkness
A world clothed in chaos
Spinning to regress
Going backwards
Because
It does spurn
A Savior's love
& suffering

A once bright nation
Founded upon
Its Christ's sacrifice
Now once, twice,
Perhaps even thrice
Rejects His name
More & more
From its shore to shore
Oh, return to us
Please once more!

We can do better
Help us to cling to
Each word,
Each letter
Within Your precious book
For we know
It is within our hands
Our choice
To reject
Or

To take our stand
Upon Your words
Realizing at last
It is only
Your strength
Your power
Lord Jesus
That holds together
Undergirds
Everything

So, forgive us we pray
May we never again stray
So far away as we seem
To have done in this
Current time, this day
