Imagine!
Imagine
Throne, glistening,
Unapproachable
Glory, brilliant light,
Beauty, colors of infinity
Sitting in Your place
Love, forgiveness
implanted on your face
desperate need at your feet
screaming out your name
transcendent above
this noise, chaos,
darkness, ignorant rebellion
a universe held within
your hand
no longer wishing to
follow your commands
One spirit asks,
You would leave all
This!
Remember their past
We adore you, Lord
Do not leave
We will do anything
Your sovereign will to please
But, this perpetual glory
Cannot be restrained.
I cannot ignore their grief
Their sorrow or their pain
The multitudes acquiesce
And bow
Ready to submit their wills
Left only to guess
So He lays aside, removes
A crown
Glistening, reflecting each
Star, lights which abound
Only in this eternity of
Ecstasy, bliss,
Adoration, worship.
Giving His Father one last
Kiss
One last touch of a
Father’s hand
As they prepare to face the
Agony of this plan
Silence falls, all heaven
Stops
Wondering, hoping
As He bends to drop
Below.
So, with shepherds, beasts
Within a barn’s dirty stall
A Savior releases glory
taking up the saving,
redeeming His creation
from its fall.
Puddles
Puddles
Human puddles
On the ground
Hoping, waiting
Longing to be found
Downward, fingers reach
To stir
Moving, rippling
empowering to occur
Unusual things, miracles
So to speak
Causing, giving strength
even to the lost and weak
Strength flows down
Into this wet ground
My puddle moves, flows
Dare I give voice, a sound
His hand pulls upward
I rise
New in spirit, waiting
To be apprised
New life is born
To walk in His glory
So do not be afraid
To tell your story
Of love, glory
Holiness
Given just to you
Speak your words
Tell of Christ’s rescue
allow the others
to once again be born anew!
May God bless your day!!
Salvation!!
God saved me more than once, from the deep dark pit brought about by my past of being an orphan and feeling suicidal a few times. Just thought you might like this picture. Praise God for His unfailing love and goodness!!!
Wondrous December!!
Couldn’t resist a poem for the first day of the month of December, Christ’s birth month. Praise God!!
Wondrous Night
Wondrous night
Holy Night
Twinkle of a star
Led men to the
Wonder of a king’s
Bed and might
Sleeping in a barn
A stall
Filled with animal
Wetness and breath
Holiness to save us all
That star still shining
Calls us home
Dulled now by lights
Man-made and hung
Without thought for the one
who saves us from being alone
In the darkness
Raise your head
Look upward to a star
Which still points
To the One who left
A Throne to lie in that bed
Of straw and poverty
Of pain and a torturous death
He loved until his heart
Broke, stopped
Returning home but not until
He gave His final breath
For us, you and I
Do not forget
Look up still to see
A King enthroned
In glory, above that star
Whose life and death
paid your final dark debt
Wouldn’t you like to see. . . . ???
Wouldn’t you like to see Utopia? Wouldn’t we all like to see a world without pain, suffering, disagreements, wars, orphans living on the streets with nothing? We have been promised, assured we will live in such a Utopia if we believe in, try to emulate the historically documented Jesus of Nazareth.
It will begin with a revived American church. Our country leads the world in almost everything and so do our churches or they should at least try. Wouldn’t you like to see a church less divided among itself, one with more influence over the world and its culture rather than the other way around with the culture having more influence over God’s living, holy church??
I would love to see revival in the American churches. I pray for revival with more of the power of the Holy Spirit alive and well in our spiritual family. I pray for a lower divorce rate in our churches, a church less caught up in lusting after money and material possessions and one that lusts after Christ more instead. I pray for a church that is less caught up in fitting in with the world and more concerned with standing up and being different from the world’s standards. I pray for a church like the first century one that is willing to go and sell something, lay the money at the feet of our church leaders in order to help the poor and more needy in God’s family. I pray for a church whose true glory is the glory of the living Christ!
May God bless your day. Praise God!!!
