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!
For All Believers If you say you believe In that sacrificed Savior Guardian over our behavior Then never speak His Name In public Will you not be subject To a more severe form of God's Judgement? I believe we will A Great Commission Instructed each believer To instill In all of a lost world God's instructions Guides to inclusion Or exclusion From His Eternal Paradise We will be like that watchman On the wall Hearing in our hearts God's call Yet not warning others of the dangers Not doing the watchman's job Failing will bring to us both a great cost To all will be the extreme loss Of an eternal foreverness In God's Loving Presence As the prophet Ezekiel wrote 'Their blood will be on our heads'
Ezekiel 33: 6, 8 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood. …….8 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.
To Trim God does not waste words Nor does He mince them Away with the useless fat Of words will He always trim Saying what He means For He is unable to lie Upon His words you may depend Or someday may be required to die When He says don’t Do something He means it So forever leave it That thing & don’t do it! His words are there To bless you Although at times They will most certainly Test you But still in that deepest part Your innermost heart Allow them to caress you!
The Cell Alone And in my empty cell I try to find the words To tell Of Your Great Beauty You come to me Across a dark, dampened floor Only the light on Your Face Helping my soul to soar Over & above Whatever life’s tomorrow May hold for me in store So, Whatever prisons you Must face Only on our Christ’s Loving face Will you be allowed to trace The strength, courage You will need For your songs to sing Of this Prince of Peace This Heavenly King as upward toward His Heavenly gates He alone carries each soul On the Purest of Glory’s wings!
This ONE Holy God God Himself decided Creator of this Unending Universe Knowing ahead the pain To come to live on earth Traveled through the Darkened mists To bring to His man’s story A new and better twist Thus, This our Prince of Peace Came to love and save From the rich, the powerful To the least of the least Of the least By walking out of an empty grave! We should celebrate that long-ago night When all of Heaven’s glorious light Came to live, to rest Within a fragile, human shell So all of Heaven’s angelic choirs could Loudly sing & tell Of Our God’s unending love for us!
