Onto The Streets


Onto The Street


He went out
onto the streets
For it was always His
Original Intention
The lost to save and to seek

Sure, in temple courts
He did indeed also teach
But let it be known
That Christ also
Walked the streets
Where the lost, the blind,
The lame
Were never beyond his reach

So take Him out there
For church walls cannot
Will not
Were never meant to contain,
Our King of Glory
It's always the same story
Remember,
Man-made walls were
Never made His words
To imprison
Death could not stop
His Strength, Love or Grace
For Jesus is alive
His has eternally arisen!!!

His Kingship!


His Kingship

Get down on your knees
Oh broken, lost world
As the KING of GLORY
Passes by
May I hear an
Audible sigh?

Or maybe not
Because
Of one thing
I fear,
We forgot

Coming from so many
Pulpits of today
Of a very large influence
Are words. . .
Jesus loves you
But of the same pursuance
Should be
JESUS IS LORD,
MASTER, KING!
Of these facts should be
A total congruence!!!!

So many spiritual leaders
Heard today
Strip Christ and the Father
Of their AUTHORITY
Their POWER
Over this earth
This planet
We currently inhabit
This world
This large, glowing
Revolving green pearl

For only this world's Creator King
Has the right to command
His creation
Of this fact the teachers should
Not forget nor shun
It leaves their listeners
Without the correct information

So, put God and Christ
Back on our heart's throne
And take ourselves off
For in life,
There is at least still
One sure thing
He is our most gracious,
Compassionate, loving,
But ALMIGHTY KING!!

Screaming


Screaming

A world screaming
In my ears
Loudly,
Systematically
A world
In love with
Itself

Evil, crude
Carousing
Capable of
Many fierce desires
Arousing

Until
That light
Comes pulsating
Gently pushing into your life
At first maybe small
Then larger
Of tension
Most rife

At odds with
A world's narcissistic
Evil
Christ steps
Sometimes roars
Against
Those strange dark
Messages
Around your heart
Voraciously they soar

So,
Tune out the
Broken world
Tune in Christ
His brighter
More benevolent light
Follow His
Gentle more Holy path
And fall back into
His wonderful, less selfish
Loving Eternal Grasp!!

Idols!

Idols

Idols, Idols
Everywhere
I look,
I stare
Turning my head
I can see
Enticing, me
To Believe
In their goodness
What a mess!

You have yours
I have mine
They’re hard to let go
Hard to unwind
Most of the flesh
To understand
Not such a great test
Power, Money
Material Possessions
Sex
At time, they can lead
To extremes of regret

In love with ourselves
We run, we fume, we struggle
At times, in singles
Or often in doubles
We collect, we hoard
Then grasp
We should feel insecure
Nothing down here really
Lasts

Reach for the eternal,
A Holy Immortal God
Please, oh please
In Him learn to trust
He desires to love us!
His blessings
They can be known
So, don’t stand out in the
Dark, all alone
Reach for wisdom
And take yourself off
The idol’s throne!!

He Gave Up!

He Gave Up!

Christ did not come

To create a feel good social club

A country club atmosphere

Instead

So our black, sin-smeared

Record for all eternity

He could unequivocally clear

A glorious throne of infinity

He gave up

He came to a barn

A humble stable

Full of hay and animal slobber

Dirty, wet

So no mistaken ideas

Of wealth, lust for money

Would we mistakenly harbor

For this a light filled throne

He gave up

He came to a cross full of

Pain, agonizing torture

So with His death

A broken relationship

Between man and the Father

He could nurture

To give us, you, a Holy,

Forgiven future

For this, through ripped

And torn flesh,

His own blood

Christ gave up!
