Bustin’
Massive, unstoppable
Almighty,
Owner of an
Entire universe,
Our home,
This earth
Powerful enough
To stop the dirth
Of Your own Spirit
Inside Your beloved church
You come
In all Your glory
All Your power
Double edged sword
In Your mouth
Let there be absolutely
No doubt
You will be
Bustin' down
The very gates of hell
So in this rhyme
I will say,
Let me tell
No one, nothing
In all Christ's creation
Will stop Him
Or Heaven's celebration!
Me, Why?
Someone who rides
Among the stars
On wings of the wind
Who has the power to transcend
Both time and space
From out whose face
Energy, heat, light, His Glory
Gush, pour out from
Are so easily traced
This beautiful Someone
From His golden throne
This Perfectly Holy Son
Wants to love us
Plural of the you and me
Sometimes as I sigh
I ask the question, WHY?
I look at our past
Track record
A history full of so
Many great transgressions
Committed most openly
With such small amounts
of discretion
Rebellion written on our skin
All done just to get our own way,
Some selfish lust to win
Destroying life, this has
To be the truest form of sin
But Christ chose to love
Us anyway
Never stops
Morning, night of every day
Praise God for that!
For He cannot go against
His own nature
And so
In an amazing act of pure
Salvation
Left His Glory's throne
His walks among the stars
To die for His created man
And now on His own hands
Still bears the ugliest of scars
Uncomfortable
This doesn't really feel like home
I rant, I rave
I moan,
Even give a little
Groan
It stirs in my blood
A longing, this need
Sometimes just a trickle
Or quite often
A loud, roaring flood
A need arises
Raises its head,
A flower's tender bud,
Then opens
Inside my deeper place
I start to recognize
That for which I hurt,
I sigh
I believe it is this,
This place doesn't fit
This world, this place
Well, it's just wrong
My heart, it misses
Dear Lord, Your face
My fingers itch, they burn
Longing to be allowed
Once again to return
Close enough to trace
Your beauty, Your love's grace
But for now I must live here
This becomes ever more clear
Until I leave this fragile shell
However, for today,
You desire others of You
I must tell
This world's pain,
Which we all daily see
Was never meant to be
Christ's Reconciliation
My Faith's Compensation
A Return to Your perfection
In silence I stand & wait
As one of your heaven's gates
Swings slightly open
Daring to call my name!
Help
You Draw near
Power of a trillion sun's
Held in one hand
Sacrifice &
Love of calvary
Within Your heart
I am not worthy
Of anything
About You
Holy Lord
Your great beauty
Incomprehensible power
Your world-shaking
Passion for us
You, the ultimate
King of all kings
Of uncountable stars,
Whole Galaxies
Wants me!!
What can I give you?
Help me then
To love You
Serve You
Sacrifice for You
Your Calvary's Sacrifice
To reciprocate
Help me to dedicate
This, my only small life,
To You!
Immortality
The physical shell will die
Cease to function
But wait!
Dry your eyes
Don't cry!
Good news is heralded
Shining like a rare emerald
No longer for you
Will life ever again be imperiled
Christ has been resurrected
Trumpet blasts of heaven
Freely flow from above
So no longer need you question
Your Immortality!
No matter the hell
At this level life may throw
Cling to Christ
He will lift your soul
You will transcend
To a joy-filled life
with Him
That will
Never end!!!
Distracted
I turn my head
from side to side
Distracted
I sigh
There must be a better
Reason
Than this
For which I exist
Perhaps I should
Just desist
From all these
Distractions
To buy, buy
Consume, consume
I think I just want
To leave this room
Too many distractions
All these man-made
Contraptions
Most only man-made junk
They buzz, they whirl,
They even clunk
I think I am at last sunk
From the pile, my stash
Boy, on it,
I've lost a pile of cash
Until a still, small voice
Whispers into my inner ear
I'm just right here
Do not fear
For your life
I can give a better purpose
From this chaotic
3 ring circus
I created you to share
In me
My great beauty
My love
From heaven's gates
Is falling
A higher calling
Meant for everyone
In my great name
Must you follow
Let go of those deceptions
Distractions so hollow
Let me be your only God
As upon this earth
Will you so briefly trod
Until I call you back to myself
So listen to that quiet voice
It comes from only me
Still trying to get you to see
You were created to be
Forever with me
The one true lover
Of your soul
For that was my truest goal
To share myself with you
In my Eternity's Paradise!!
