Distracted

Distracted
I turn my head 
from side to side
Distracted
I sigh
There must be a better
Reason
Than this
For which I exist
Perhaps I should
Just desist
From all these
Distractions

To buy, buy
Consume, consume
I think I just want 
To leave this room
Too many distractions
All these man-made
Contraptions

Most only man-made junk
They buzz, they whirl,
They even clunk
I think I am at last sunk
From the pile, my stash
Boy, on it,
I've lost a pile of cash

Until a still, small voice
Whispers into my inner ear
I'm just right here
Do not fear
For your life
I can give a better purpose
From this chaotic 
3 ring circus

I created you to share
In me
My great beauty
My love
From heaven's gates
Is falling
A higher calling 
Meant for everyone

In my great name
Must you follow
Let go of those deceptions
Distractions so hollow
Let me be your only God
As upon this earth
Will you so briefly trod
Until I call you back to myself

So listen to that quiet voice
It comes from only me
Still trying to get you to see
You were created to be
Forever with me
The one true lover 
Of your soul
For that was my truest goal
To share myself with you
In my Eternity's Paradise!!

Refuge

My Refuge

My refuge
You, Lord God,
Are my sacred place
In You only & forever
Do I truly feel safe

As a lost world's chaos
It's broken darkness 
Wildly around me spins
You are that lamp
That light 
To my soul,
Your love's warmth
Do You lend

So take me in
In the shelter
Of Your loving wings
Secure me
For I am deeply tired
Of all my wanderings
& in satan's winds
For me,
Let there be 
No more scatterings.

Praise You Lord God
Praise You!!

Not Meant

Not Meant

Not meant
Two important words
Not meant to fit in
With a world so lost
That all holiness
Has away it tossed
Night and day
My senses does it accost

Raging chaos
Blind stumbling in 
satan's grip
My name does it scream
But somewhere else
To someone else
Do I turn to fulfill
All my dreams

To God's beauty, peace
And love do I belong
No more do I listen
To my enemy's most false 
Of siren songs

Stop for a moment to think
That maybe
Just like me
Created in His love
You were after all
Only Meant
In His arms alone to 
Eternally fit
All this just for your
Heavenly Benefit!!

Exclude

Exclude

Alone
At the foot of your throne
I bury myself
Deeper into you
Everything else,
All others I wish to exclude

Temporary pleasures
I wish to toss
Out of my heart, mind
Forever are they lost
Seek them only
At your own peril
They come at a very high cost

Eternity calls your name
Sometimes screams
Sometimes whispers
You just have to remember
To stop, be a listener
And of satan's fraudulent
Schemes be an eternal resistor!

Twinkle

Twinkle!

Twinkle, twinkle
Crash, roar
Disparity
Disparity
I will never even the score
If I died once or thrice
Can't equal the precious price
Heaven paid
To get to the day
Where each man,
Woman,
Child
All can say
By Christ's blood
Have I been saved!!

I haven’t had much of a chance to blog for the past month. My husband and I have moved from a two story townhouse to a one level condo in our town. He’s had cancer, strokes and bad knees and couldn’t get up the stairs any longer. So glad and grateful to God He finally got us moved. Praise God!!

True Worth

True Worth

I know I am 
A sinner
Steeped
In sin 
Since my birth
My only true worth
Lies deep 
Within Your Name

But
To worship
You incessantly
From the start
Does this 
To my life
True joy impart

The privilege
To carry 
Your Name
Not for profit
Nor for fame
Joy such as this
From nothing else
Will you gain

Oh my 
Jesus, Holy Master
Can you not
Perfect me
A little faster
Then others too
May see
And receive the bliss
Of just one kiss
Ah,
Your love's perfection!!
