Two Sides to Each Coin
Two sides to our God
Both beautiful to see
One and then the other
Each
Yet completely necessary
Flip Him over
Both sides blindingly brilliant
& equally significant
Neither to neglect
In this way, we peruse
His totality to inspect
Yet today,
Many teachers
Supposedly of The Way
Prefer over the other
Only one
Disregarding His Being
His Total Sum
Teaching,
Wanting the blessings
But leaving out obedience
Ignoring in His book
All written evidence
His is Master
& Our Judge
So,
Polish up both sides of
That coin
Bring both sides to a
Sparkle
And accept both sides
Of His intensely loving
Gospel
Above is the below poem set to video and music. It’s also on my youtube channel at https://youtu.be/l3K1XIiPDXU Hope you enjoy. Have a blessed day and Praise God!
Winds
Winds of heaven blowing
Falling to bless
Rising back on praise
Turning eyes upward
We gaze
With hands upraised
In giving we receive
God needs nothing from
Man
Unselfishly He sends
To all if they choose
His gracious, loving winds
Meant to teach, uplift
Souls to transform, win
For us this is His glory’s gift
And in those winds at times
So powerful, so swift
received even thru stormy skies
Thunders the promise of
His Infinity’s Gracious Paradise!
I Love
I love Jesus of Nazareth
Why you ask
Because,
Orphaned as I was,
Alone only He
Performed the task
Chose to love me
When no other’s love
Could I feel or see
So out loud I try to say
His Name
In the chaos of each, my days,
In the midst
Of all the scoffers
I only wished
I had said His Name
Even more often
Such a joy does it carry
I hope never to grow weary
The saying of this Beauty,
His Name,
JESUS
Just to hear the sound
So by that speaking
May His grace
More & more abound
To each & all my sisters
& my brothers!
To Enlarge
Enlarge my ears
So I may hear
Your message
So much more clear
But not just for me
But so that others
May also see
Your Glory!
Enlarge also their ears
So You may stretch
Their ‘hearts’
For all our spirits need
A fresh, new start
Please save us
Since you love us
This most earnestly
I pray
Each, Every Day
For You, Dear Christ,
In your power, might
To stop all this vicious decay
Around us!!!
At Night
At night
I dream of your face
Hardly daring to believe
You would give me
This taste
Of You
Your Beauty
Overwhelming Power
Completed Purity
Such intimacy with one
Such as You
More than I, mere man,
Can ever comprehend
I pray never will it end
Praise You, Lord God,
Praise You
In golden splendor
You arrive
Settling somewhere above,
Between,
All my why’s
To Be
As You Will Be
So,
I tremble on my knees
Gratitude
Contained in tears, it falls
Again,
I tremble at your call,
But I dare not
Do not wish to resist
For this I live & breathe
Waiting, I cannot fully
Conceive
This future hope
Of your Magnificent Eternity!!
The Loudest Shout!
The loudest shout ever heard
Around the world
In desperate need of a cure
For its illness
A bloodied, beaten Savior
On a cross
Trying to restore God’s favor
To His humanity so lost
It was God’s shout
Of His intense wrath
Against our sin was it about
to gather us back
from down a forbidden path
of our indolent selfishness
So listen to that shout
From a cross now heard
Everywhere
It was His final proof
To deface all doubts
Meant to instill a deeper faith
More holy, more devout
In His loving grace
Shown deeply through the
Beautiful yet human face
Of His Precious Only Child!
So,
Do not deny it
By not listening
Of our spirits
We need a quickening
A re-positioning
To stand up
& listen
& no longer condone
The darkness ofOur own restless sin
