Friday Morning Haiku
Quietly content
From You to me has been sent
The darkness scatters

One Man
One Man
Everything
Hinges, rotates
Around
One Man
Air, earth,
Rock, water
Sand
Microbe, flea
Dolphin, elephant
Every atom,
Every molecule
Of every element
Nothing escapes
His attention
From His notice
There is no abstention!
But
Who would want that?
In His Presence is
Love joy, peace,
Goodness, kindness
He hopes eternally
Toward this His world
More and more would
Progress!!
As Christ holds out
Nail-scarred hands
Toward His pain-free
Glory Land
Won't you join in
Bring others with you
Come live in infinity with
God's only Son of Man!!!

From
From the white light
Above my head
To the brown ground
Beneath my feet
From every breath
While I'm awake
To every heartbeat
While I sleep
You are my everything
Come, Lord Jesus,
COME
Millenia come and millenia go
Still time after time
You continue to show
Your incomprehensible
Love, goodness, joy
Your peace
Even with outstretched
Arms
For us You continue to reach
In order to forgive
A completely new life to give
But it hangs in the balance
From us it will require the talent
Of making the right choice
On His bloodied cross
After He raised His Voice
It is finished!
For all eternity
Our sins had they been punished
Still,
We must decide, choose
For ourselves
How do we really wish to dwell?
With someone so beautiful
Our words cannot express
Or
An Infinity without God's love forever
This is every man's greatest
and lifelong test!




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!!
