Living Water…Drink Deeply

Grant oh Lord a well within
A Living well of abundance
Water with no end

Living water that refreshes
A wellspring that flows forever more
Never to run dry

Bless me oh Lord
Bequeath to me your Spirit
Living within the heart, yet never contained

A spirit guided by the Spirit
Let the Spirit rule over all
Let the flesh be subservient to this Spirit

May the Spirit reign in me
May the water overflow
The Living water into other vessels in need

The Living water flows
Reflecting a light so bright
Dazzling to behold

The brightness of Christ
Yes Christ and no other
Light on a hill

The Spirit guides
The water flows
My spirit knows

Trust in the Lord Today, the End is not far Away!

Trust in the Lord right away, wait not another day
The end is near, the prophecies are clear
Watch and observe, be ready and serve

Israel’s friends disappear, enemies from afar have become near
Peace is talked about, but the absence of conflict is in grave doubt
Time is short; Israel desperately needs a strong fort

Each day, we move throughout the fray
Forces are arrayed; by evil’s spirits people are betrayed
Satan reigns on Earth; the time is coming when things shall be worse

The prophecies speak; things indeed look bleak
Society has become murky; righteousness is seen as quirky
Light is receding with the encroachment of dark; evil is striving to make its mark

The time draws near; let no one tell you when it will be here
The wise servant watches the sky; that the coming of the One will not pass him by
Wisdom says be ready for the King; fools say there is no such thing

Be wise and proceed with reason, for under the sun all things have a season
The world says all is well, no need to worry about some silly story of Hell
Trust in the world not, you must decide to be a part of it or not

The wise will hear, the discerning will fear
The simple will sneer; surely the end is nowhere near

Be not simple but think it through, this need not be the end for you
Fall on your knees, ask the Father please
Accept Jesus as Lord, forgiveness is yours

Serve Adonai now with grateful heart, it shall be noted in heaven’s great chart
The book of life is open to all, yet you need to accept the Lord as your all
Return to He who gave life, seek not to spend time with the bringer of strife

Do not tarry, travel with haste but be wary
Your trip must begin, with the spirit within
Pledge your allegiance not to the herd, but be in step with the Word

Hope for the Distraught

The pain in the world, it threatens to overwhelm me
The anguish contained within, it burns deeply at times
I look upon the world, and despair of what I see
A look will tell, a thought confirm, seeds of disquiet are mine

Suffering is part of a fallen world
There are no easy paths to walk

Horrors abound in the world of the prince of the air
He is not good, no not even fair
The evil one cares for you not
Satan is his name lies are his game

I see the injustice and wrongs
I feel the despair and pain
I see a world so lost; seemingly without a care

The world tramples it’s own
People destroy one another for gain
Money is king, possessions queen

Pain and suffering a commodity
Grief is only for the weak at heart

How I long for the end
The end of this life; that the real life may begin
That suffering will end, forever to be banished
Misery will be no more; injustice will be vanquished

If you live in this world, you will suffer
If you follow Christ, you will suffer

If you follow the world you will suffer with no hope
If you follow the world you will lose all in the end

If you follow Christ you will suffer, but the Hope of the world will keep His arms around you
If you follow Christ you will inherit all things

The world is fallen, sick and ugly, devoid of any hope
Hope is however with us yet
Accept not the disbelief of the masses
Accept the divine hope stored up for you

Hope is here, Hope is Jesus

Hold onto this Hope
Trust in this Hope
Hope will set us free from all
Hope will bring the victory

Hope has a name, Jesus

Trust in Jesus, the Hope of life eternal without suffering
Trust in Jesus to walk along side you

Jesus…always cares and never leaves

Casting Crowns: Wedding

There’s a stirring in the throne room
And all creation holds it’s breath
Waiting now to see the bride groom
Wondering how the bride will dress
And she wears white
And she knows that she’s undeserving
She bears the shame of history
With this worn and weary maiden
Is not the bride that he sees
And she wears white, head to toe
But only he could make it so

When someone dries your tears
When someone wins your heart
And says your beautiful
When you don’t know you are
And all you’ve longed to see
Is written on his face
When love has come and finally set you free
On that wedding day
On that wedding day

She has danced in golden castles
And she has crawled through beggar’s dust
But today she stands before him
And she wears his righteousness
And she will be who he adores
And this is what he made her for

When the hand that bears the only scars
In heaven touch her face
And the last tears she’ll ever cry
Are finally wiped away
And the clouds roll back as he takes her hand
And walks her through the gates
Forever we will reign

I wish…

 

(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

 

I wish there was no more war

I wish all people would learn to get along with each other

I wish love were not used as a word that means nothing

I wish Christ was revered by all people not some of them

I wish babies were never aborted

I wish the truth were always spoken in love

I wish churches focused on Christ first, everything else second

I wish all people understood worship is about God, not us

I wish families stayed together

I wish there was no abuse in the world

I wish love of others always came before love of self

I wish everyone would come to Jesus

I wish the Bible spoke to all, and that all would have ears to hear

I wish evil would perish

I wish Satan were a child’s tale

I wish the Truth were accepted

I wish that violence were not a solution

I wish that drugs and alcohol were not self-medications

I wish all the hurting rest and peace in our Lord Jesus Christ

I wish we all possessed faith like a child

I wish all sin were a thing of the past

I wish everyone possessed the peace of Christ

I wish there would be no more killing

 

I wish for all of these things knowing they will not happen. True complete peace and wellness shall not come until our Lord and Savior comes. So many are lost, and many will remain lost. I cannot begin to imagine a world without suffering and loss, but the Word of God promises just that, so it will happen. One day we will all be in eternity together with the Lord of life…those who believe anyway.

It is my prayer that the hurting would find rest and peace in the only true source of healing…Jesus. It is also my prayer that the lost would be found and brought into the fold.

Imagine if you will the worst Believer on earth, a true believer in Jesus but not one who lives the faith well at all. Now imagine the best, the least sinful person on earth…but this person does not know Jesus. Now realize that the believer is going to heaven, and the sinner who may very well be a better person than the Believer is going to hell because he/she does not know Jesus.

I wish all would come to know Jesus…a life is a terrible thing to waste.

Why I’m not God

I see a city, a country, a world; suffering many ailments
I want to fix it, heal the hurts, and comfort the wounded
I want to make the hurts go away, now

I see good people, who do not know God
Some of these people will assuredly not see heaven
In my heart I want to change that

I see the child of a broken home
I see the ravages of divorce
I see the pain of uninvolvement
I want to bring healing to these broken people

I see countries and peoples whom hate one another
I see religions that cannot abide one another
I see hate fostered in so many
I want to undue this plague

I observe hearts breaking; others severely tried
I see the evidence of much heartlessness
I want to the hearts of the heartless; mend the broken hearted

I see pain repaid with pain
I see vindictiveness spread wide
I want to reach out; and replace these with love

I see a world reaching out for vileness
I see people chasing what does not matter and does not satisfy
I want to show them the Truth

I see people so filled with bitterness
I see others who cannot forgive
I see those who care not for others

In my wisdom, I would solve these problems now you see
In my wisdom I would do more harm than good
In my wisdom the world may well be worse

My Father has a plan, far better then my plan
My plan for me did not even work; let alone the peoples of the world
My father has a plan, a reason for all

Our God has the answers, all the answers
I wish I understood a little more
I wish that my wisdom were but a little higher

I must trust in my Lord
Wisdom is His
Our good is in His hands

I could not make the hard calls
The tough decisions would find me wanting
Yes it is good; I’m not God

I will leave The Job to the One
I will gladly be not in charge
Yes I am glad, that I am not God

God so Loved…

God so loved the world
He gave His only Son

God so loved the world
He let His only Son Die

God so loved the world
He allowed His Son to experience all temptations

Jesus so loved the world
He obeyed all that the Father asked of Him

Jesus so loved the world
He suffered tremendous pain

Jesus so loved the world
He became a man

Oh that my love would compare to His
Nothing compares to the love of God

I wandered away, lost in the world
My Lord pursued me
He never left my side

I refused Him
He followed and watched

I said I do not believe
He said I believe in you

I said I cannot do this anymore
He said take my hand, I will help you

I said the pain is too much to bear
He said I will give you peace and comfort

I gave the Father above my worst
He gave me His best

Our Place in this World

(Photo credit Wikipedia)

Oh how I desired to belong
I looked high and low
I sought my place in all places

I needed to fit n
Nowhere was found
Not a place did I fit

A soul wandering lost and alone
A heart crying out
A mind imprisoned

Traversing a world of sorrows
Wandering in an intricate web
Trapped in the maze, no way out

Searching out relief
Never finding a respite
Grief and sorrow dominated every turn

Surely I can overcome
Certainly I will find the door
The way out is here…somewhere

The map seems to be missing
Life is not a clear path
My steps faltered for lack of light

Who is this at my door?
I want no company today!
Will He not stop?

Insistently He knocks, now louder
Fervently He makes His presence known
Who is this that pursues my very soul?

I opened the door at long last
There stood the Lord of Glory
In my doorway, there for me

Come in, come in
Be welcome in me

A gift was I given
A new identity
Life anew, refreshed at last

At last, the door was open
The maze was threaded
The power that was
Is no more

My soul is cleansed
My evil expunged
Forgiveness is mine

Peace I have
Direction has been found

The One has come
Joy has returned
The darkness has departed

The One calls, do you hear Him?
The One calls, do you obey Him?
The One calls, with an offer to good to refuse…do you accept

Tears of God

Pouring rain
Like endless tears falling from God’s face

Tonight it is pouring outside
I wonder…do the tears pour from our Lords face?
Over the sins committed by us His people

Do we ever realize, that our sins hurt Him?
Do we understand how much pain we cause Him?

Our tears are caught in a bottle
Who catches God’s tears?
Jesus wept; do you suppose the Father did as well?

The pouring rain, falling steadily without letup
How long will it rain, the sadness of One

Someday down the road
There will be no more tears in heaven

The Cowboys Spirit

He had been ride’n the herd for about three days.
Watch’n the moon as the cattle graze.
He had spent his nights sleep’n in the saddle.
Keep’n calves alive is become’n a battle.

His old eyes were weary and needed some rest.
Every day was hard but he gave it his best.
Around the fire the nights seem long.
He played his harmonica as the dog howled a song.

When danger sneaks up he swears he can hear it.
It’ll catch the attention of his dog named “Spirit”.
Ol’ “Spirit” is faithful and true to the day.
He’s rode with this cowboy every step of the way.

The cowboy and his “Spirit” stand fast in the heat.
No matter the struggle, they refuse to be beat.

This is a great poem by Sonny Jacks, check it out! I liked this so here it is to share with all of you! Hope you enjoy. :)

Remember Me

The Name of God written in Arabic calligraphy by 17th century Ottoman artist Hâfız Osman.

Look up and see Me

I am with you always

Look not to yourself, but to Me

When you are down and out

When you are tired beyond bearing

When you are stressed to the breaking point

I will be there

When you feel like it’s over

When you feel that all is pointless

When you can’t find direction

When you are wandering lost

I will be there

When the days are long

When the nights are longer

When the world makes no sense at all

I will be there

When you don’t have the words

When your thoughts are confusing

When you can’t make sense of it all

When your every thought is a dead end

I will be there

When you are overwhelmed

When you are lost without a map

When you haven’t a clue

I will be there

When life is great

When all is going your way

When you problems are as nothing

Will you remember Me?

When you are successful

When you are happy

When you are riding high

Will you remember Me?

When you have your fill of life

When your days are bright

When your nights are peaceful

Will you remember Me?

I am with you always

Until the end of the age

At all times good and bad

Do you remember Me always?

I am with you and love you

I care for you each day

I listen to you every minute of every day

Do you speak to Me each day?

Am I not the Father that gave you life?

Am I not the One who provides for your needs?

Am I not the One who saved you out of the world?

Remember Me today…

Dragons of Yore

The “Ljubljana Dragon” in Ljubljana, Slovenia

An old dragon of yore, born of a great one

The great ones of yesteryear, a fable to many

Great ones were plenty, in the times of old

Great ones were power, great ones served a greater One still

The great ones are no more

They vanished after the flood

The flood that washed away the evil

Evil of men, and not of dragons

The great ones served the Lord Most High

Roaming the earth at His command

Keeping order and watching over the kingdom

Man became powerful, too powerful

The humans served the One, at one time

Man began to serve himself, and not the One

The evil ones began to hunt and kill the great ones

The One was displeased that His creation in His image

Was now turning to evil, evil deeds and showing no repentance

Man was destroying the watchers, great ones they were

Humans were removed from the Garden, for doing wrong

Humans were now doing wrong again

“Will they never learn? What must I do, that they will turn from their evil ways”, said the Lord

The flood was brought about, and man was mostly gone

The few that remained served the One

The great ones were gone as well, never to be seen

The dragons of yore did show

Born of the great ones, lesser but mighty still

Soaring through the skies, keeping aloof

Dragons of yore had none to fear, none but man that is

Man hunted and pursued, captured and killed

Soon the dragons of yore, were almost no more

Seen in the sky, soaring overhead

There are a few, dragons of yore

Seen on occasion, in the night against the moon

A wonder to behold, a dragon of yore

Granbee’s Critters

Along came Granbee’s critters, all manner of folk in tow
Old Ugly, and Young Bluesey too
With a hoot and a holler, all bounded off
Adventures afar, and love near to thee

Old Stump Woman called
Old Crow did answer, “where away are we to go?”

Mr Jitters did answer
“To the One, to the Shepherd of our souls”
A travel of many, folks aplenty
To Him, to Him…

Critters and folks all striving to go
To the One, our light in the dark
A journey of faith, not of show
A path to rekindle love for all…not a trip for a lark

Now Mr Jitters was a skipping along the trail
Energy to spare, not one to be still
Skipping and bopping, jumping and spinning
Through the rocks and crags ahead

A long walk, with perils foul
A Desperate journey, needs are many
Company was had with critters not frail
Those who dared to take up the journey aplenty

No Dancer, but a Prancer
Mr. Jitters did hop and bop
Down the path without a care
Come one come all, if you dare

Round the corner did Cuddles appear
A cry in the night, heard by all
Jitters and Critters valiant soldiers
Traveled into the dark, braving their fear

To rescue Cuddles, that helpless little dear
Alone and afraid, not a spark of hope
The Critters did perceive, she had a need
A family to love her, friends to set her free

Off to Granbee’s
To continue the journey
Come along and see what happens
Critterville is waiting

Expectations are high
Why not see if you can fly?

To visit Critterville, please head over to my friend Granbee’s site, http://granbee.wordpress.com/
There is much there to feed your poetic soul on, a post that is sure to delight! :)
