Attracted

I am attracted by
Your Holiness
Your Purity
Your Righteousness
Perfect goodness

That blindingly bright
Light of Your Eternal Power
Your Existence
Warmth for my soul
Outward I reach my hand
Ah, this joy
Upon your life only
May I take a firm stand

So leave that cold
Lost and dead world behind
Walk forward toward Christ’s love
For never in all of man’s history
Will it ever dim or cease to shine!!!

Inexplicably Bound!


Inexplicably Bound

Inexplicably bound
To You
Body, soul, heart and mind
No longer caught up
In the limits of
Space, matter or time
Oh, what a gift!

All of
Your Purity, 
Your Holiness
Your Kindness
Goodness
Love
Your Great Sacrifice
To be born here
Made out of dust
Just like us

To die in
Such pain
Agony
Suffering
Us with Your 
Grace, Mercy
Forgiveness
To be covering

Praise You
Lord Jesus
Praise You

So, Lord God Jesus
Easter's week is all
About You, Your Glory
As written in Your
Most Holy Book’s Story
As You stepped
Out of Your grave
(In all your Glory's
Holy Might)
For all, each and every
Human soul to save!!

Only The Most


Only The Most

Of life it could be said
Mostly is it about
Relationships
So until I reach the end
Of this, my earthly trip
Probably for me
That is the truth

Father, mother
Sisters, brothers
Friends, strangers
You will meet or
Just pass
Along the way
Schools, jobs,
Sidewalks on
Each, every day

But
Of all relationships
There is THE ONE
THE MOST IMPORTANT
Of this let me be
Oh so adamant
And unfortunately
Of all others you have
Within this lost world
It can be
The most discordant
A broken world’s mind
Will fight to destroy 
Your bonds most Divine

It is the one you have
With
Your Creator God 
Your Gracious, Holy Father
And
His Son, Jesus Christ!
Of this, I can be
No more exact or certain
No more precise

Everything down here
On this earth is temporary
Of all our God's great truths
None of them of this fact
Would be the least contrary
So take a few moments
To think of your relationship
With God's eternity
And you too may be allowed
To enter thru heaven's gates
Into Christ's loving infinity!

Violin Master

Lord Jehovah, God
Fine tune my soul
To respond to you
As the violin's master
Its strings do command
So may only your hands
Tips of Your fingers
Pull forth the music
From my life

Each note a result
Of just your skill
Your knowledge
Your beauty
Your graciousness
So a listening world's ears
May receive a taste
Of the glory
The beauty of Your face!

PRAISE YOU LORD GOD PRAISE YOU!

U!


U

U healed our diseases
U raised our dead
Drove out darkest demons
Fed us until it became clear
Of U, is there
Nothing ordinary
Nothing mere

U grew and grew in power
Until man's authority
(held in satan's grip)
Of u began to fear
Staked u to a cross
Took ur life so dear
And then,
In ignorance so sheer
At ur last breath 
Did they cheer,
Did they sneer
(at ur last sigh
Sent themselves
To hell to reside)

So let us not today
Do the same
Crown Christ
As your only King
As our voices
In heaven may ring
Dear Lord Jesus
To glorify and praise
Only U!!

PSALM 150:6 LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD. PRAISE THE LORD!

Haiku for a Sunny Spring Day!

Today in Middle Tennessee it very cold but oh, the sun is out so bright. It at least looks very beautiful. It had been fairly warm for this time of year so a lot of the flowering trees are already in bloom and a few buttercups were out. I just hope this short cold snap doesn’t damage all the small flowers. Anyway, it is pretty outside. I just wanted to share a quick Haiku below with you. May God bless your day!

Haiku for a Spring Morning
(even though it’s very cold)

Spring’s sun warms the earth
Christ’s love lights the darkest soul
God’s great grace fills both!!
