In Christ
In Christ
(No room for the self)
There is
(In the present)
No condemnation
Found Only
In the beautiful incarnation
Of our living Christ
So let Him have your
Total being
And
Soon you will be
Seeing
(surrender as well as you can)
A new birth, transformation
And you will be allowed
To be a part
Of God's new earth, new heaven,
His completed new creation!
Caught Up!
Caught up in you
Not just watching
Or carried by your side
But caught up
Inside of you
Longingly I sigh
Please do not pass
Me by
In the moment
Of that breath
I know the best
Of life waiting
for me yet
Is to be caught up
Into the richest, deepest crevices
within Your heart's depths!
The Choosing Ground
A line has been drawn
On this earth in the sand
By an Almighty, Holy Hand
Choose on which side
You wish to stand
You must
In this,
You have no choice
For of your life
This is the reality
And God Jesus
Holds all the keys
After all,
He does give free will
He allows you to instill
Or choose
With which side
Yourself you wish to fill
On one side,
A broken world'schaos
So lost
Or on the other
A beauty so RICH
Fit only for a king
Who for your sake
Was willing to
Pay the heavy cost
So, spend your time
In a way most wise
One side renders for you
Only a dark demise
Or step over
TO THE OTHER SIDE
Offering Infinity's Bright Lights
To live, explore forever among
God's Heavenly Heights!!
The Ticket
Jesus Christ
Into heaven
Is
OUR TICKET
With
HIS BLOOD
He came to
STOP IT
that satan's deceit!
So won't you
GET OUT
Even if it
Takes a
SMALL SHOUT
In joy
To grab people's attention
So they can
Win it
THAT HOLY TICKET
Into God's Eternal Paradise!!
Hand to Hand
Imagine. . .
This large open plain
A massive battlefield
Where today in another war
Many demons yet might I
Still be forced to kill
Thick helmet on my head
Chain metal on my chest
Finally I step forward
Serving my Master’s undying quest
To bring home the lost
A great dark enemy’s army
Gathers in this earthly field
Hoping to devour
And my most precious faith
Longing to at last kill
But we have a Living, Risen KING!
Upon our dusty clay
Did He with human feet
Sleep, cry and trod
This our Holy, Beautiful,
ALMIGHTY GOD!
So take heart
The battle is not over
Onward it still rages
As written within
A Holy Book’s eternal pages
And for us the best of news?
God wins, Christ wins
His Spirit all evil will subdue
And if you so choose
Saving us, I, we and you!!
Nothing
Nothing,
Such a concise word
In my heart and mind
within me does it stir
a feeling of emptiness,
Of beauty, warmth, wholeness
Completely do I now feel disinclined
Until I look upward
Toward Your heaven
And I receive this new impression
Glancing ever more boldly
Sensing that to me you are trying
To teach a new lesson
Then
I hear from your own lips
That word
‘Nothing’
God, You begin to speak
Nothing
On my beautiful
Green planet
Will satisfy you completely
Within these words
Fully do I hope you will believe me
No amount of money,
Power, sex, fame or any other pleasure
Please, please do not make
Of any of these such a tremendous
Overwhelming Treasure
You were not designed
To be made whole, complete
With any of such as these
Only within me, Your loving Father God
Were you made to fill complete and filled
All those others are only cheaper, temporary thrills
So
Nothing
I repeat
Nothing
Except My Loving Presence
Will ever meet the needs and
Complete your spirit’s holy, core essence!
