Ferociously Wonderful!
Ferociously wonderful
Brighter in every way
Than
A million
Or perhaps dare I say
A trillion
Suns
Tirelessly
God, you work
Your Spirit
To usurp
satan's evils
So on and on You go
Trying to grab, grasp
(Even ferociously if You have to)
Our attention
So evil will surrender
And in our hearts
Take its last dying gasp
The Retort
Greedmongers
Here there everywhere
Spinning words into the air
Buy this buy that
So they can have their share
Of our money
Buy things you don't really need
Here it is come & see
Only this new thing
Will make you truly happy
So we listen to their song
How I wish they would leave
Us alone!
They rail they rant
On & on trying to enchant
But life has more meaning
Than what on a surface
may be seeming
To be so important
A Savior's voice
Trying to retort
To a world's greedmongers
Says there is another better choice
A kingdom of heaven
May first you seek
So your Dearest soul
Will Christ pursue
Desires to keep
Within His hands
Forever to live with Him
In God's most holy & Purest
New promised land!
The Tear
Don't cry, Lord Jesus
Why that tear
Does a sorrow to you
Draw too near
I lay my cheek upon your hand
As flowers around my head
Do blend
Let me love you
Oh my God, my dear
You lift the crystal fluid
Off your cheek
Wait a moment
Before you speak
It is not for sorrow
That my eyes do weep
But for pure joy
That in eternity
Forever more
May I now you keep!
In My Bones
In my bones
I know
I have another home
Another place
To live before a face
More beautiful
Than any other
It is man’s greatest hope
But
Comes most of the time
With an inner struggle
Seeming sometimes a great mystery
Or a somewhat confusing puzzle
Still God promises if we try
We are assured of the greatest prize
A home before His beauty
Forever
So lift up your eyes,
Your very souls
Make His will
Your life’s greatest goal
And learn to let go
Of that raging inner self
For
It is not I that lives
But Christ that lives in me!!
Rest
That physical pump
Inside my chest
Someday will stop
As my fragile shell
Receives its eternal rest
In peace I pray
I will be allowed to go
If while on earth
That is what
I tried to sow
Enter God's rest
You children of the King
Rise up in joy
On the back of
His great eagle's wings
Rise in spiritual prosperity
As you prance, dance forever
In God's joyfilled gaiety
My Shell!
This Physical shell
It's tight
Restricts, constrains
Squeezes
So stiff it creaks
Knocks me almost
to my knees
At times full of disease
Mild or strong
Impairing a song
Meant for us to sing
About earth's risen King
To call Jesus by name
That was always
Of Eternity, its goal, it's aim
Oh, this Physical shell
Only time will tell
When I will be released
From the intense heat
Of its determined grip
Ah, that will be a Paradise most complete!
