The First
Christ must come first
Everything else a poor second
As you listen to His voice
So sweetly trill & beckon
Return to me
I will return to you
A new day will break forth
Ensue!
A sun unlike any other
Will roll & rise
A shining, sparkling
New planet
To be beheld with widened eyes
To live in a new universe
These second-hand words
I now rehearse
Taken from the writings
Of an ancient Holy Book
I am allowed to delight in reciting!
So Forget!
A world barges in
Rude & loud, using force
Seeking its own way
To get me off my course
From you, Lord Christ
So,
On I must struggle
To stay away
From seeking its
Loud, belligerent way
&
listen to your gentle voice
instead
So, F O R G E T
Your large house
Your sleek, ramblings cars
Persistent pleasure seeking
In Him only
Am I believing!
Toward His cross
Am I retreating!
Toward a better life
& a Living Son’s Paradise!!!
The Broken Restored
My soul was broken
In pieces shattered
Only You could collect
The pieces
From where
They were scattered
Into the darkness
Your fingers reached
& found them
I stand restored,
Whole, once again
A new creation
Is for what you wish
But only You, Dear Savior
That truth can seal
With Your Holy Kiss!
In The Above
In the above, those celestial skies
Surely, God must shake His head & sigh
‘Will they never learn’?
He watches as we all despise
His love’s most generous guidelines
But still I suppose
As only He most assuredly knows
& so forward & on He goes
Still trying our souls to win
Keep us from that damning sin
Of our total & defiant rebellion
But,
Lucky for us,
Our God is not a quitter
We are the ones
Who turn our backs & run
From
His wonderful perfect grace
Reflected in Beauty’s Love on His Face
So,
Be different from the rest
Do not put God to the test
Stay, live to enjoy
Those Eternal Pleasures in store
Between Infinity’s Gates they await!
Scenes
What does it really mean
All of these different scenes
From so many different peoples
Carrying the weight of our faults
Why does not the world just topple
At times they seem so unstoppable
These, our chaotic insanities
For each of us the final rest
Comes forth only through our death
So I sigh
Look upward
Try to turn from all the lies
Please do not let yourself be deceived
Each & every soul will receive
What for themselves they chose,
In their life’s walk & daily plans
Whether to accept or reject
CHRIST,
Our God’s Living Son of Man!

Truly Alive
Spirits all for Now
Bound, so tightly, held,
Within the cage of
this fleshly shell
Someday to be released
Will we be angel or the beast?
Endure darkness’ chains
Or a heavenly feast?
Will we choose
To gain better or lose?
So take the gift of your
Now Alive
& with all of your strength,
Fiercely struggle, intensely try
Stretch for those heavenly skies
& reach for the more,
The better in the privilege
It is to be Truly Alive!
