Hammered
At the hands
Of the smithy
Hammered
Over and over
Put back into
The burning,
Roaring flames
Removed
Only to be
Hammered
Again
God will do this
To us
You know
Maybe
Just to show
How much
He really loves you
Remember
He chose you
Not any other
For this
Particular fire
Knowing you so well
Only He could tell
What you needed
To make you rise up
Be inspired
On His shoulders
Lifted higher
And
Put back together
Newer, stronger, ready
To follow
His every step
His Eyes
Christ
Coming
Seated on a throne
Crowned in glory
Fresh from
Another's new story
With fire in His eyes
So Holy
Burning intensity
In each glance
Perhaps today
Is your greatest
Chance
Desiring,
Burning the old
To dissolve
Turning to ash
For you
This is His resolve
All must be
Reborn
Renewed
Until you step through
Glorified
Purified
Only then can
You be allowed
To enter between
Heaven's gates
So today
Do not hesitate
Take the offered chance
To receive the fiery dance
Of the eternity living
In His eyes!
Pouf!!
Pouf,
Swish,
Swoosh
Wave the magic wand
Make it disappear
Where it once stood
Now the air, the very space
Oh, so very, very clear
Cheap magic shows
With their magicians
Do this almost every day
But I am here to you
To declare today
Loudly, boldly to say
There is coming in
Earth’s future
The biggest, loudest
Most terrifying
“POUF”
Mankind will ever see
God in His wisdom
Knowing what we really need
Is going to destroy all
Of this old creation
Using His best and brightest
Innovation
Will POUF away
All we now temporarily see
Out of sight eternally
Will it stay
To show us His new
Universe, new earth
All the old things gone
A total new rebirth!
Will perhaps roll it up
Like an older scroll
Or maybe in a loud roar
With a great fiery heat
So in this planet do not
Put too much security
All that will be left is
God
And His powerful
Eternity’s Infinity
Where every soul
Will bend the knee
And your dear Father
Face to face at last
Will you be allowed to see!!!!
VICTORY!!!
After the quietness,
satan’s victory dance
Over His grave
In the stillness of the
Morning’s freshest dew
And in the richness
Of God’s plan
His whole world to renew
Nothing ever seen before
Occurred
God in the flesh
Stepped out of His
Now emptied grave!
As the ground shook
The stone was rolled away
An angel came to sit
In all his glory
Christ stepped out
To take control, full sway
Over all of creation
Once again
He came to claim
His VICTORY!!
To show satan for all eternity
He was defeated
Only God has the last word
Death now eternally cheated
As Christ stepped out into
The garden
He declared that forever
On His glorious throne
Again would He be seated
Came to save us from
An infinity of hell
Evil, darkness, condemnation
Hearing its funeral knell
To give mankind its share
In heaven’s perfect life
This is what His Resurrection
Was meant to declare!
But all this is left up to you
God will never force or coerce
Wanting you to joyfully give
Your heart out of your own choice
So you may own, shout in your own voice
Your VICTORY!
Silence
Silence
An absence of sound
The rocks have split
Upheavals have shaken
The underfoot ground
The sky has blackened
And at last cleared
The city in a festive mood
It hears people raise a few cheers
But still they do not see,
They have not understood
Followers, disciples
Huddle in a locked, darkened room
Not knowing what comes next
If at tomorrow, will that be too soon?
Or will today be their last breath
They try to comfort one another
Hoping to stave off their own death
As a few women in the corner
Continue to weep
Prayers are raised
But God is silent
He has already said all
He had to say
It happened on the night,
Of His son’s birth
And at last
The last day of His painful,
Tortured life on this green earth
So get used to the days of silence,
They serve a purpose
To you, can actually be of a
Deeper service
Learn how to wait, trust
Even when you don’t hear God’s voice
See His Almighty hand closely at work
For us, this could be life’s hardest choice
Death
Death
A word we
Have all
Come to fear
For loved ones it
Can most certainly
bring forth their tears
But
It was conquered
Praise You,
Lord God
Lord Jesus
For setting up
Your plan
To save the only
One in your image
Created
Your man!
Saved by
The Prince of Peace
On an agonizing cross
He suffered, died
As His friends, mother
They saw and all did weep
But did it only for us all
Our eternal souls
To keep
So today while you
Still have the chance
Remember Christ’s Holy Glory
The agony He endured
Only to insure
That you too could step
Out of satan’s pit of hell
Emptied out of your own
Grave
Now it’s your time to turn
And of his death,
Resurrection others to tell
So they also may rejoice
With one rising crescendo’s
Voice
To praise God the Father for
The Son’s rise
On that ancient but
Most Glorious Easter morning!!
