Solace
A world in chaos
Precious souls torn
To pieces
satin's influence without
Restraint
Where is safety?
Only in One Name
Comfort, comfort
My people
You have said before
Today we could not need
You any more
Come, Lord God,
Come
This Easter weekend
We celebrate your death,
Burial & glorious resurrection
To save me from
My imperfections
And our great fall,
Our horrible defection
Away from Your Grace
So thank you
Lord God
For the precious blood
That was shed
Running brightly red
On that one & only day
That brought to us
Through a cruel cross
Your Solace!
The Opportunity
Choices, choices
Come every day
From here and there
In close and further ways
Some on us are forced
But in a lot
We hold complete sway
Over our own choice
Small ones, large ones
But there is none more massive
Or more important
One in which we cannot
Remain at all just passive
The one that determines
Where our forever will be spent
For every person, every soul
On this revolving planet
This is a proving, testing ground
Your own choice for your forever
God will most surely grant it
He gives free will
Does not force His ways upon you
Most miraculously of all,
He will let you choose
To live with Him forever
In His stress-free perfected home
Or let you in a pain-filled, cold
And tortured darkness
Always and forever roam
So, you see,
Will you take this opportunity
To choose your own eternity
Today, tomorrow, the next day,
All these each are now your chance
You are allowed to make your own fate
Of pain without His face forever
Or between His shining pearly gates
In joy at last to enter His love’s eternal dance!
What’s Happened?
What's happened to that fire?
That roaring, scorching roar
A fire so strong
Those rising flames
Redemption at its core
Sadly,
Today it sounds a whimper
That fire now burns much dimmer
Than in days of long ago
Did it seem then any simpler?
No!
then as is now
Christ never tried to
Simply please the crowds
Instead of praise
He only earned
A darkened funeral shroud
On a fateful Pentecost
A Spirit's fire was loosed
Bright, burning above their heads
Seen as to more clearly teach
Their God's eternal truths
So let's catch hold
Revive, rejuvenate those flames
Boldly denounce all worldly shames
So we may free ourselves & others
From satan's violent chains
UP
Up
Between earth
And sky
A Savior died
Not easily
But in agony
Sweat, blood
That bright red fluid
The only power
To unleash the flood
Of God's forgiveness
So the next time
You feel alone, lost
Just look up
To the man
On the cross
By faith will
You be lifted up
To live in Him
Between His golden
Gates you'll walk
And His eternal love
Forever win!
Fallen Flowers
Fallen flowers
Everywhere
When will we ever learn
That for each fallen child
You must most passionately care
Love is the magic
The stars
And earth
In it they swim
Against satan's hatred
Our God's love always wins!
But
You must be careful
Whose way you choose
Or
Your place
At heaven's gates
Most assuredly
You'll be allowed to lose
My Value!
My value does not
come from you
But the One who
Came to recreate
Me anew
To Christ
Is all of my loyalty due
So
Forgive me, dear friends
If I've learned to refuse
To listen to what
You tell me to do
My trust for my value
Belongs in that One
The Only One,
Who died For me
It's in His eyes
That I sink or swim
In whom all my worth,
This world’s reality
Begins & ends!!
