Golden Cross


A Golden Cross

A cold day arose
Over a cross of gold
Never was one so sublime
Throughout all
knowledge of our history & time
But for only this one slice of a day 
Would be it allowed to hold full sway
Over the Son of God

Even through all our jeers & our taunts
His holy purpose we could never daunt
Bearing all our hatred,
Toward heaven he raised
A face so bloodied & so gaunt

But even then,
Was our Lord able back to win
from the depths of dark satan's clutches
The glory of our precious souls
So that at last & in the end
We an infinity could live within
The brightness of His Holy Glow!

Living Stones!

Living Stones

Living stones are we all
Even if the hard exteriors fall
The inner fires remain
By Infinity's word sustained
Proving over and over again
God's beauty, His love's power
Is not given in vain

Each believer in Christ
A living stone 
In a new kingdom
On the rise
Headed toward the purity
Found only in God's eyes
& His Eternal Celestial Skies!

To Be Known

To Be Known

It feels like I was
Made by You
To live with You
By You to be known
Through & through
To exist with You

Praise You, Lord God
Praise You
Thank You for
Taking the time
Upon Your earth
To trod

Thank You
For my existence
For the joy of being
Able to listen
As You speak
Or are quiet
Thank You for still
Wanting us
Watching
Even at times
As we are so corrupt

So Thank You
For making us
To live so close
To You
Gathering us in
As our hearts
You try to win
And make us 
Your very own!

No Other Place

No Other Place

No other place
Except your shining face
To run to
When the walls
They collapse, they fall
One day you're
Standing tall
The next
Laying face down
In the dust

Amidst the rush
Of a world gone insane
Unceasingly creating
its own pain
For us
Of all this godlessness
There will be no gain

So for you 
Before it's too late
Make the Living God
Your strong portal
And be allowed
To start eternity
Through Heaven's 
Shining gates!

Informed

Informed

Informed is what 
I wish to be
No more mere entertainment
Do I wish to see
I want to be told
The Truth
Does that make of me
For you too uncouth?

If so too bad,
For me
No more half-lies
Are to be had
Tell me fully
About my Christ
I wish to Live Completely
TOTALLY
In the fullness
Of His light

So stop the silliness
Half-lies of so much
Of religious worship
We see today
Let the purity
Clarity
Of God's Word
His Bible
Pour forth
Have full sway

Cleanse our hearts
Even the confused pulpits
From which so many speak
Transform us Lord
Help us Your Words, 
Your Face only
& always just to seek!
