A Devil’s Dance
Around & around
Up & down
Whirling, madly swirling
This devil’s dance
To mesmerize,
Trying to entrance
To fool, deceive
Destroy
Only purpose for
A devils’ dance
More powerful than any opiate
Illegal it should be
For it teaches to never satiate
Teaches you not to perceive
Take off the blinders
Stop watching satan’s sidewinders
Frantically writhing
Rotten to the core
Pain is all that is left in store
For all who will follow
a devil's dance!
The Big Come Down
A King on a Royal Throne
At the bequest of another
Acquiesced to give up
Its glorious golden glow
Fell to His knees
Father, Your plan I will obey
On a fateful, cold winter’s night
Appeared a most unusual sight
A single star hung in a blackened sky
For wise men to search by
To find this King laying in straw
For man, the most holy, precious gift
0f all
Come to save us from ourselves
But to do so among us had to dwell
Live with us, sleep with us
With us eat
Having a most intense promise
To keep
Knowing it could only be done
In horrific pain
He vowed to do it just the same
So history’s biggest Come Down occurred
A Prince to His Father deferred
Left a throne of infinity’s power
So in a short lifetime he might shower
Man with God’s forgiveness at last
Even for Him,
It was a most formidable task
Suffered through our ignorance, brutality
Forced to His knees
Spiked to a wooden cross
Heaven’s Own Son
From our evil we could not run
But this enormous Come Down
Brings to us the most unique sound
Of powerful angels’ voices raised
To this Christ, God’s Only Son
Their splendid, magnificent, holy praise
Prayer for this Sunday Morning
I am going to rise up
Quit living in the muck
Satan attempts to
drag me down into
And I choose YOU
Lord Jesus,
I choose you
And you ever-growing hope!
Amen.
Warning, Warning!
Warning, warning
Read all about it
Warning, warning
Voices raise to shout it
The great reckoning
Is coming
For us,
Out
the time is running
Soon will we all
Peoples be allowed
God’s face & presence
No longer will be disavowed
All to be judged
In His great presence
Investigating each life’s essence
In His Book it is assured
No one left not adjured
To be brought before His throne!!
Revelation 20:11-13 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.
Before
Before all time and space
There was a glorious face
Full of only grace
Love for all He surveyed
Having always the last say
Over everything
But,
His goodness, beauty
So overwhelming
So always flowing
Over and upward welling
He wished to share it
With others
So the Three got together
Made planets spin
Stars shine
But decided they had rather
Make some someones
A planetary home was made
The darkest of night
Became a day
Animals, all creatures
Brought into His sight
Then
His allowed His man to stand upright
He felt such joy
In this glorious child
He had truly let
His imagination run wild
Crowned us at last
With one glorious smile!
Shout for joy
All the earth
At the glory
Of this first birth
But never fear,
He will remove
For a second time all tears
As once again,
The battle against
Darkness He will win
Return us,
Back home
If we choose
Remember God will
Never ever lose!!

Spring’s Trumpets
Orange & yellow
Your colored voices ring
So clearly
Displayed for all to see
Piercing thru to my heart’s senses
Oh the purity in your joy-filled glee!
Trumpets splashed, splayed
Spreading further outward
Declaring that beauty again of
One more of our God’s filled days
I stand absorbing your attractions
So welcome from this world’s distractions
Down leafy vines toward the earth
You throw yourself, never hesitant
Oh, to sleep as you in a bed
So deep & green & pleasant
So, I rejoice as on my way
I am allowed to watch
Your graceful heads sway
Within each passing breeze
Thank you, God, again
For the beauty of your earth
My day I am allowed to begin
Watching as You bring back spring
And the joy which only that can bring
Reminds not only of a physical rebirth
but that in each new reborn spirit
lies Your own unspeakable worth!!
