Tears
Many tears
Upon the earth do fall
Many voices raise
Laments, they call
God hears each word
Each whispered thought
Within His own heart’s walls
Are they forever caught
Does He do the same
For all our tears
As they release
All our pain, our fears
Does He gather
Each tear as it drops
Into His loving hands
Do they make their final stop?
Does He perhaps return
All tears back to His earth
From whence they came
So they new life may seek to reclaim
To water the plants
For our souls do the same
If so,
it only goes to remarkably show
That even tears can make things grow!!
In My Ears The Lions Roar
In my ears
The lions roar
Around us
Every moment,
Every hour
Trying over us
To exert
Their destroying power
One lion roars
Then another
Loud, strong
Around us pacing
Hot breath in our face
Watching, waiting
Until a gentle whisper
Taps upon your shoulder
Soft at first
Then growing bolder
Its blazing light
Reveals Christ's
Full glory, Power,
Controlling might
As soon as they sense
This Almighty Prince
That very second
One last defiant roar emitting
They cringe
They cower
In their lower station more befitting
So do not give in
To floods of tears
Those overwhelming fears
Over everything Christ wins
His armies He will send
To bring to you
A restful peace
As in His loving embrace
He will settle His sheep,
That Lions' Master,
In a restful, safer pasture!
For Too Long
For too long God’s family
His church
Has sat silent
On too many subjects
Is this not a form of neglect?
All those eyes every day
You will look into
Faces you will peruse
Each and every one
Is the face of a someone
Ending up
In one of only two places
Do we not care
As we return their stares
If it’s an eternal Paradise
Or a hell brought about
Within some demon’s sick device
We are meant to be
His hands, his feet
So get out there
Make known his fame
Carry his name
And help save Christ’s world
This glowing, rotating
Large green pearl
So all may see his light
And a Holy Spirit’s flame re-ignite!
Faith
My faith is all I have
To carry me
To the other side
Before I leave
Before I die
Large, monstrous
That great gift
Given so we may sift
Thru all life’s pains
Knowing, at times,
It will cause major rifts
Between us
But even God Himself said
As He walked, talked
And eventually bled
I come not to bring peace
But a sword
A man’s enemies
Will be his own family
So do not be discouraged
If in your own life
These words come true
For I have seen & known
Never will He leave you
Never will He forsake you
God forever His promises will keep
Even as you slumber
Even as you sleep!
To Trim
God does not waste words
Nor does He mince them
Away with the useless fat
Of words will He always trim
Saying what He means
For He is unable to lie
Upon His words you may depend
Or someday may be required to die
When He says don’t
Do something
He means it
So forever leave it
That thing
& don’t do it!
His words are there
To bless you
Although at times
They will most certainly
Test you
But still in that deepest part
Your innermost heart
Allow them to caress you!
Divorce, Divorce
Divorce, Divorce
Such a slippery slimy course
Icky, sticky
Shouldn’t we feel some remorse?
Signs of the times
Mobs in the culture all cry
But who put them in charge
Seems almost like
A ridiculous farce
Shall we begin to spar?
Who gets the last word
Surely there’s someplace to look
You say there is an older book
Which answers many questions
That within its black and white lines
God’s Holy Spirit beckons
Listen to its words
So once again we may return
Faithfulness, sanctity
Peace, security
True love back to our homes
And no longer out in the darkness
Will our children be forced to roam!
