Why? Why do we not see Is it we cannot Or do not want to be Faithful, submissive Obedient To someone greater Than the I of me? Hardening of the heart To the idea of such a God To all of life gives Only a very false start Saying I don’t Want to see Does not change Our Reality Open your inner eyes On just the physical Do not rely Do not wear IGNORANCE As a disguise For refusal A lack of perusal Into the gracious beauty Of Our Father/Creator!
Beginnings Flitting & fluttering Your ideas You bring Through my heart They race, Quite literally Out loud they sing Rushing, gushing Speaking your name Always is it the same Of a true wisdom’s King Their voices calling, In praises loudly ring So, dearest God Once again Upon your earth Will you trod Returning most assuredly Your life’s bright purity To our darkened skies As we look upward With our heartfelt sighs Come Lord Jesus, Come! Our God’s One & Only True Son Name us, Claim us, For in this today’s now, Our eternal journey Has already begun!!
In Love? In love with Jesus Is that what I’m Supposed to be? New idea at times Something worth the try? Perhaps of this should I see Infatuated, Adoring Up in my heart should I be storing For someone such as Him These feelings will He win From within me? The answer to all these questions Should be A loud resounding yes For to love someone else You must let go of self Which is assuredly for most A very difficult test But that is what we’re Called to be I think I’ll try it More just to see What results can possibly come From making an attempt to Follow God’s Only Living Son So, Forward, onward I will go At times not at all to know Exactly how to walk Or talk like Him My goodness, patience At times will wear incredibly thin But hoping more & more As on I go His ways to win So myself I need to remind More than just one time With these simple words ‘Not I but Christ that liveth in me’ Hoping, praying someday A new better version of myself Will this world finally be able to see!!
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.
