Thank You!
Thank You,
Dear Lord,
For allowing me an orphan to be
From birth
Never quite feeling I fit in
On this green earth
So the stairways,
Those steps to heaven,
My eternal soul could win!
What an enemy purposed
For evil
You turned into a blessing
But it did not come without
A great testing
Your Son fought ahead of me
Clearing a path so I could see
The gate of heaven of me just ahead
Just as the words spoken in your Book
Most clearly & succinctly had said!
Praise You Lord, God, King Jesus & Holy Spirit!!
The Seer
God wants you to be
A Seer
The One who sees
Himself
His great beauty, love
For you
With this he wishes
To imbue
Everyone
To see, know
His only Son
His Holy Spirit
For you this is
His most precious gift
He desires to bestow
Upon every head
Seers see things
Others cannot
Or do not wish to see
Do not let them stop
Your desire, ability
To understand, perceive
Let all as seers drop
To our knees
From there we will be able
To appreciate the best
This world has to offer
Be given glances, looks
Into the overflowing coffers
Of God’s riches
It is His deepest wish
To share Himself
His nearness
With all of us
Along with
Christ’s own sweet dearness
So when Christ
Physically returns
A new, recreated earth
A recreated people
Will be yours
If for that you have yearned
And for now you choose
To be the one who grasps,
Understands, realizes, envisions
To be that Seer!
Your New Beginning
On a cross
At the time of
Heaven’s greatest loss
Hung the world’s creator
As His own creation
Destroyed His physical life
All heaven held its
Breath & waited
Watched as hell & satan’s
Power fell, was abated
Telling one so new to faith,
Today, you will be with
Me in paradise!
Angels watching wept
His earthly mother cries
With ‘It is finished’ for
His last few words
His spirit left, hurled
Only an empty body curled,
Crushed from the pain
By human eyes still seen
Hanging on that wooden beam
But it was not His end
All death was spurned
New life for us He earned
With a resurrection so fresh
God’s answer to his death
For us ended with a YES
Thru our faithful lives,
As it was for His,
Your death will be your winning
Of His newborn Paradise
Your total, complete & new beginning!

The One
(and only)
In the beginning
the One
Created from nothing
All of this something
Father, Spirit & the Son
Worked in perfect harmony
So all of their creation
Could witness their unity
A part of that One
To earth was sent
With only the best intent
To save a beloved child
From the darkest designs
Of an enemy most vile
In the name of our Christ
Diseases were healed,
Demons were routed
Death was defeated
The Dead were raised
All to the glorious praise
Of His Holy Name
It is today still
That wonderful Name
& thru His gracious Will
In terror all demons run
When the Name is said
Of that precious One,
Jesus of Nazareth
Only the name of
That precious One
Has ever made all
my own demons run
I spoke it into the dark
Sincerely from my heart
In a heartbeat, they fled
Away from the side of my bed
Man has always been
too weak & on our own
We will never defeat,
Never meant to try
To survive all alone
Under a dark satan’s
Destructive, vicious blows
Only is that One Name
Been made all powerful
To totally destroy
satan’s darkness
So let us in faith joyfully sing
As out loud our praises ring
The name of our Christ,
Our eternity’s King
Will You?
The pain increases
Oh what if it never ceases?
What will I do then
What can bring it to an end?
Where is that God
That said he wants to heal
Now as from this incessant pain
I kneel
Where is my helper now?
Slowly a light starts within
My chest
A knowledge evolves
As I try to resolve this test
Will you still love me?
What kind of question is that?
I turn from it and pray
Again inside my head
Those words have another say
Will you still love me?
If your circumstances
I do not change today
Do not give you
Exactly your way
Will you still love me?
I seek only those worthy
Of my higher calling
For an enemy’s lies
Do not be falling
Following me will not
Always be easy
Before your eyes
I will not always be pleasing
Your world now is lost
To save it I paid a terrible cost
Now will you be willing
To suffer a loss
To follow me?

The First Calm
It happened under the skies
Of the very first dawn
Rays of light breaking
Placid horizon in yellows,
Pinks and reds
It was the first Calm
A new world, pleasant
To the eyes and soul
Broken out of deep, dark
Nothingness
By ancient words and voices told
In a Holy Book
Life exploded
Upon a spinning globe
Of dirt, air & water
Animals, man & plants
To each by a loving hand
Did the Creator grant
Relationship
With Himself,
The Ones who stirred
The darkness
Into life
Nothingness
Into something
Desired to associate
Fellowship
With our forms of dust
Only asking for a return
Of love, respect
& our trust
This was the first Calm
This perfected peace
Between all forms of life
And the Creators
Between all of Their creation
& Themselves
There was not a hint, scent
Of strife
Until man,
Supposedly the highest,
Decided to rebel
And follow the wrong voice
Made the ultimate mistake
Available, the worst choice
And everything fell
Plants, animals, earth
Spun out of the original plan
Subject to terrors
Never meant or intended
By our Creator’s gentlest
Of hands
And so we lost
All of us
Paid a dearest cost
To suffer in pain,
Showed disdain for the Ones
Who made us
And so in tears we lived
And lost
The First Calm
