Haste! Now! Pursue the foe, and to the river fly! Lehi’s gleaming sword had sent them to the distant shore. As battle raged, his earnest eyes did witness many die, And fall to Zarahemna’s blade ere turning of the war. In the River Sidon, where their souls were lost One God to hear their plea,…
To the End Enduring
When all the worldly Lions pace, and creep, in darkness waiting, How do we escape their bite and ravenous attacking? How do we survive an unseen foe as it is spreading And preventing joined humanity once felt through our connecting? Or, how do we prepare ourselves for wedding feast approaching, So we can enter in…
Time for You and I
Time passes by, a constant wind That doesn’t stop or stay, We feel it in the moment, But, it always slips away, It’s always here, yet always gone, When we but close our eyes, Leaving shadowed memories Imprinted in our minds, Togetherness is precious breeze, That soothes like summer sky, God bless me please, more…
Will I Stand or Fall?
When all my earthly days are past, My mortal body free, Myself, on full display at last, unvarnished, will be seen- My character, façade undone, is now the only thing to give- as I before the Son, will be the offering. Will I shrink with eyes down cast? Or greet him face to face? Will…
Borrowed Light
Borrowed Light Why does God allow the pain that comes from suffering? Why must we now bear the weight of lonesome sorrowing? Why does life, when young and pure, come to a sudden end? When all the world is full of hate, why take the innocent? Why, when anger now invades, Our hearts once filled…
When the Wheels Fall Off
When the Wheels Fall Off Many times I find myself amid an earthly race, Furiously peddling just to finish in last place. I think and hope that life should have some easy times as well, And not just be survival- grinding, winding up a hill. Like, shouldn’t there be downhills too? And not just uphill…
Nature’s Entropy
Natures Entropy Our hearts and minds continually, Are pulled by nature’s entropy, Unfocused, dimmed, erroneously, To earth, and not to Heav’n. But, if we struggle faithfully, And look up, kneeling, pleadingly, And seek forgiveness constantly, Our flaws can be forgiv’n. And if we then walk steadily, And try to live more righteously- More loving, and…
The Sword of Laban
The Sword of Laban From deep within Jerusalem, The sacred, Holy land, Came precious gleaming sword – born of the forge, to Laban’s hand. Its sharpened blade of precious steel, And hilt of purest gold, Would slay its way through history, To see God’s plan unfold. Its master, one who’s greed was blind, Cast pearls…
The Key
Imprisoned hearts, withheld, locked up, and shadowed from outside, can still be reached, to feel again. Unlocked, and opened wide. Music is the key- Infusing light as it is played. With saving pow’r, it turns the hardest hearts of stone to clay.
Up is Down
Up is Down This world will say that up is down, that perfect smiles are “special” frowns. That right is wrong, and wrong is right, The night is day, and day is night. That sweet is bitter, wet is dry, left is right, low is high- The answer to this craziness, is dedicated righteousness, But…
