A Daughter, A Son

A Daughter, A Son

We are his daughters, his sons
If your Father were under attack
Would you just turn tail
And run?
In my heart, I hope not

When they deny His Name
They abuse His Spirit
Of
Perfect Love, Joy, Peace
Patience, Goodness, Kindness
To name a few
But it is up to all of us
To me and you

An evil, destructive satan
Wants to destroy all of us
And watching the world today
He does it without much effort 
Or a fuss
God’s disciples we are meant 
To be
So our Father’s love & forgiveness
Every eternal soul here may see

It truly is a battle for our
Hearts & minds
So step up,
Join the front lines
Even pain-filled at times
As it might be
Because,
Without us in the war
The enemy has already won!

The City

The City

A Wondrous City
This Holy Jerusalem
Containing at one time
A temple built for only
           HIM

His presence to visit
Between golden cherubim’s wings
He listened
While choirs on its steps
To Him did sing
His Name
His Power
His Fame

To it one day
This Only God
Will return
After all evil
Is vanquished
Destroyed
In one heartbeat,
Burned

So we raise holy hands
As we fall to our knees
In obedience’s path
Seeking only to please
(to be transformed
your earth & us)

No longer to rebel in ignorance
Against your beauty
To rise to Your higher calling,
That greater, purer duty
And follow Your Forever Call
Watching, waiting
As once again your raise
Her holy walls
Regrow, renew
Re-begin
This Holy Jerusalem!

A Love Song (A Part of)

A Love Song:
(A Part Of)

It is like I was created to be
Always a part of Your group
Your Holy Trinity
A smaller part
As I bend down
Worship on my knees

It is Your gift to be like you
Should this not
My worldly values askew?
A world so out of balance
Literally out of its mind
Rolling, tumbling on
A very, very thin line

Not even those lost rebellious angels
Did you dare to die for
Only over us Your Spirit’s healing
You wished to pour
To enable re-birth
Through all the light
& darkness of this universe’s 
Massive girth

In truth, nothing and no one else
Did you create to
Reflect the goodness of
Yourself but us
Thank you, Dear Lord
In You only may 
I completely live & trust!

Come

Come

Come, Lord Jesus, Come
Lord, King
My Master
To us, please, please return
Rend the sky
Waiting, I watch
Look up & sigh

But first,
Come perhaps
More softly
In Your great love
Rend, tear our hearts
Of this world
Surely, You’ve had 
More than enough

Help us, lead us
Show us only for life
Your way
On the face of this planet
Tired am I of an ever present 
Internet
Its siren song, misleading fantasies
Enchantment

Save us as only You can
Before you choose to return
To create Your promised land
New Earth, New Heaven
Make us Your hands, feet
Put in our hearts Your Love
So evil’s destructive voices
May You at last
Totally, completely defeat!

Confused???

Confused??

Why do we abuse?
Are we really
So confused
As to what we are?

Lies fly all around
Covering even the ground
Underneath my feet they crunch
Leaving me full?
Not so much

From an ancient hillside
The truths they flow
Rivers gushing of purest gold
Washing, seeking,
Purging each struggling,
Dying soul

Only within 
Christ’s outstretched
Hand
Lies the glory, truth of
His promised land

Under His feet 
Confusion flees
Before your face 
You will see
All lies die
They will end
As He rushes in
New life
New world
As only God can send

Why This?

What Else?

What else is there?
Nothing rings true
Where upon this planet
For this
Lies the cure?

Everything
Rings of the temporary
Over it
Literally stumbles
I know this sounds contrary

A world’s song 
Completely different
I know we all long
To believe it
But its useless voice
We must bury it

Wars will come and end
Governments rise & fall
Even death our bodies 
Will be allowed to rend

So, listen to the voice
Of your God/Christ
Because there’s really 
Nothing, no one else
As He comes back
And we watch
As all the old away 
Does melt!
