GODLY ESSENCE

The essence of God flows in the
morning breeze
Whispering words of love over
earth and seas
Perhaps in the passing clouds
you may see a certain smile
Reflection of perfection designed
in mirrored style
The morning freshness may leave
a tingle upon your skin
A reminder of heavenly love as
your day is set to begin
Do not be discouraged for His
mercies are made anew
Its in the sound of life its in the
morning dew
A brand new day to simply make
things right
For in Him we find rest our refuge
in the night
His grace is sufficient as we hide
beneath His wings
Expression of divine love is what
His salvation brings
Though in this life hate is given
reign
Through the pain and sin He
vindicates our shame
We are merely the created being
moulded by our Creator
Upon repentance knitted together
are the Sinner And The Saviour...

MEMORIES

Sitting on the beach looking
out to sea
The crashing waves a reminder
I do not belong to me
I'm merely created and in the
process of being refined
Persevering so Father can delight
in His designed
Blowing in the wind are the names of
long ago
A tear gently falls as I recall a
distant glow
Up in a darkened sky diamonds
sparkle bright
The faint sound of laughter echoes
in the night
A pleasant memory for a moment
seamed so real
Escaping in the vision I allow myself
to feel
Refreshing tears now openly flow
A longing a yearning for that
moment long ago
I blink the tears away and quickly
escape my reverie
For what is in the past should be
a forgotten memory
I look as the waves recede back
into the oceans depth
Hiccups of broken tears leaves
me gasping out for breath
As I sit on the beach looking out
to sea
I'm so thankful that I do not belong
to me
I'm merely the created in the process
of being refined
Persevering so Father can delight in
His designed....

IN THE REALMS OF GLORY

Split from top to bottom
the veil tore in two
Tearing down the barrier
uniting me and You
Here in Your presence the
soul You deemed worthy
Your blood the atonement
liberating me
Gazing up into the heavenlies
barely able to understand
How Big is our God who holds
the universe in His hand
With just a simple wave it
sure must make a noise
The winds and storms a mere
vibration of Your voice
How Great are You God that
in all You created
You lavish Your love and with
this simple mortal be delighted
My worth is undeserving for
the kindness You show
Yet You're forever close this I
always know
Within the universe mayhaps
different realms
For in its vastness different
galaxies are found
Speaking volumes it tells a
story all its own
In The Realms Of Glory I have
free access to roam...

FALL FROM GRACE

Father with all I am I seek Your
face
I've reached the pinnacle - my
Fall From Grace
It was never my intention to carnality
had veered me away from You
I took it upon myself to judge
another
Rallied in gossip without a bother
Words of hate had escaped my
lips
Covetnous right there at my
finger tips
Pride the father of all sin falsely
liberating me
Living a hypocritical life of
apostasy
Delving in carnal pleasure yet
expecting heaven
Succumbing to the enemy bound
in sin
Forgive me Dad I'm at the turning
point - I've reached the curve
Thank you for giving me more than
I deserve
I long for the tangible benefits of
Your favour yet once again
For Your favour is as a cloud of
the latter rain
Within my heart plant once again
Your mercy seed
Let me be the gospel that unbelievers
read
May heaven be occupied with repentive
hearts by what they see
For it is only the visibility of You that
should be seen in me...

UNSUSPECTING

Sailing in the icy waters a ship
so majestic
A vision of beauty amid lapping
waves hugging the Titanic
People in song and dance oblivious
and Unsuspecting
An ice berg rips through iron and
steel incurring immense suffering
Holding on to hope whilst frozen
waters snapped their last breath
Iron and steel now lay fermenting
swallowed in the oceans depth...

A little plane detected gliding through
the clear blue sky
No suspecting reason to even
question why
To its imminent threat people
work Unsuspecting
Unaware the destruction that very
plane shall bring
The atomic devastation worse
than molten lava
That fateful day nuclear explosions
wiped out Hiroshima...

The 9.0 magnitude quake near the
 Indonesian island of Sumatra
Released energy far worse than atomic
like bombs obliterating Hiroshima
People going about their daily
lives Unsuspecting
Unaware beneath the seas surface
devastation was brewing
Killer waves as high as 50 feet the
worlds worst Tsunami
Engulfing human life changing the
course of history...

Be still and know through lifes
tragedy
Circumstance of some events
one cannot forsee
Above all - this should be made
abundently clear
Accept Jesus in your heart and refuse
to live in fear
The trumpet call will be heard at
Christ's second coming
An imminent fact even though lifes
events may be suspecting...

THE EVENT

Slaughtered by circumstance
screaming to the heavens
Drowning in your weakness
fighting your demons
Within your mind free reign
is given
Lawlessness gains entry into
the world you're living in
Worry consumes you no place
for positivity
Getting by in this cutthroat world
feeding your idolatry
Fear and gripes a never ending
story
Stagnant in your sin filled with
strife and fury
Closed minds and ignorance keeps
love at bay
Wanting to be blessed yet not having
anything good to say
Poverty is on the forefront you're
feeling hell bent..

Welcome then beloved Welcome

given day

against poverty

The bible is not merely Basic Information
Before Leaving Earth it's heaven sent
Rejoice as you open the covers and

Welcome then beloved Welcome

HOLY FIRE

A flurry of hasty activity as a
gush of wind was felt
The birthing of a new era for
Your bride was dealt
By Your might tongues of flames
were seen
Descending down from heaven
converting the hearts of men
Prevailing is the gift You promised
that of the Holy Fire
The promise of a friend that will
fill our hearts desire
Within our bodies Holy Fire ignite
Keep Your fires burning keep us
in Your sight
A friend forever may things never
be the same
Helping us stand tall while the enemy
plots his game of shame
Upon Your Glory Name we're calling
speaking with tongues anew
A heavenly language Father understood
only by You
By Your mighty power may we save
the lost
Aiding us all the while Your gift given
at Pentecost..

Act 2
