Informed
Informed is what
I wish to be
No more mere entertainment
Do I wish to see
I want to be told
The Truth
Does that make of me
For you too uncouth?
If so too bad,
For me
No more half-lies
Are to be had
Tell me fully
About my Christ
I wish to Live Completely
TOTALLY
In the fullness
Of His light
So stop the silliness
Half-lies of so much
Of religious worship
We see today
Let the purity
Clarity
Of God's Word
His Bible
Pour forth
Have full sway
Cleanse our hearts
Even the confused pulpits
From which so many speak
Transform us Lord
Help us Your Words,
Your Face only
& always just to seek!
Second Death
What is this I hear about
A second death?
I thought death occurred
When I take my last breath
And that is it, the end.
But now God
You say no.
For us You say
You have another goal
After all,
We are eternal living souls
Never ceasing to exist
What a wonderful surprise!
To live with You forever
In Your celestial skies
But wait, You say
I have a free will
For yourself you must choose
Follow my Son's path
His obedience until the last
For once your heart stops
& the divide between
heaven & earth you move across
There awaits a reckoning
So,
As God now stands beckoning
Choose obedience's eternal
Paradise
Because
For your rebellion's disobedience
For your second death,
Nothing but an endless Dark Abyss
Will be left
Huddling
We huddle in buildings
On one particular day
To throw a few coins
up onto a stage
Mumbling,
Sing just one more song
Hoping it won't last
Too long
Is that really
The picture
We want to paint
Of today's struggling
Church
Do we go just in case
We might need God to
Help us out of
A sudden lurch?
What's happened
To the passion,
Devotion
Of a first century
It grew rapidly,
Even exponentially
Ah, to see
That increase today!!
But
It takes courage
Putting God first
Before everyone,
Everything
So
Let our songs ring
Out loud the words sing
Into our daily actions
Out onto
The busy, chaotic streets
As other souls we meet
In our hearts
Do not let Christ's examples
Abate
As more & more
His Holy Spirit
We come to live out
& to joyfully imitate!!
All My Life
It seemed
It felt like
I was
Waiting for a Messiah
All my life
Waiting for Perfection
To end all this
earthly strife
Always I looked
Until I picked up
One small book
And I read of Your story
All that heavenly glory
Come down to earth
In a very humble birth
Born into a world
So dark
You came to re-start
Heaven in man's own heart
Praise You, Lord Jesus
Praise You
Now we have much to
Look forward to,
As we wait for You
To return, renew
Remake our broken earth
& we will be given, share in
Your immeasurable worth
And for those that do listen
With new names
Will they be christened
As all of heaven rejoices!!
This was the most important event in human history. The day the God of peace and justice decided to exact our punishment for our rebellion against Him on His One and Only Son, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of the Only Living, Breathing God who willingly took the task upon Himself for reconciling us to His and our Heavenly Father. Praise You Lord God and Jesus Christ Your Only Son for Your Mercy and Forgiveness! Have a very God-blessed day!!!
The Remedy
A world,
My own country
Awash with
New, old corruptions
Causing all these
Unfamiliar disruptions
To marriages
Governments,
Our born and unborn
Children
Perverting, wasting
Lives
Why oh why
Will we not accept
The Remedy
Stares us in the face
Instead of listening
To our foe, that
Ancient enemy
We destroy ourselves
With disobedience
Ingest contaminated
Ingredients
From a satan so devious
He rains filth
Upon our heads
I pray for my country
That I love so much
Our money states
'In God we trust'
Then let's do that
Return to Him
He will return to us
So let's arise,
Wake up
Give our best, strongest
Thrust
To save as many
As we can
As Christ holds open
With His own nail scarred
Hands
The gates to His Eternity's
Promised Land!
