Early
2-15-15


Still insanely early
I am given people to believe in
In such photographs of beautiful minds
I have not partiality upon the feeble and strong
I ought to accept my predicament
And know that it is but temporal
I'm back on Tuesday to face the music
One day at a time
Sorrow takes its hold of the inhabitants of Philistia
But joy is soon to follow
I am glad that the night is far spent....








Take No Thought
2-15-15


Educated rather than mundane
So are our difficult times
That come with the territory of knowing Jesus
Marah and bitter are these waters
O, what shall we drink
Take no thought in that God is the Provider
Guiding them in his strength that is ours as well
Currently praying for the pastor as he speaks
I am AWOL from the assembly
Greet Miriam by the way
And she shall serve you well
Take no thought...








It Feels Good Going Down
2-15-15


It feels good going down
Now that I have earned my voice and my crown
Not by my own efforts
But by what Jesus has already done
And I give him thanks today
For the light of another sun
The chiefs of Edom will be dismayed
It feels good going down
I'm a junkie for all that is ground
The Lord shall reign forever and ever
So goes the Song of the Redeemed
Taking up in her hand the timbrel
Come redemption, this experience
God satisfies hunger and thirst
And provides rest
It feels good going down....










To Elim
2-15-15


Coming to Elim and twelve wells of water
Serving our son and daughter
To keep them safe in the slaughter
And seventy palm trees
And all today that the bible scholar clearly sees
Manna is provided and we get down on our knees
Soon we are no longer satisfied or content
Halfway through the month and my money is already spent
As one to grieve in the wilderness
O, to where will I yet be sent
Yet to win my first soul
For which it was meant....








Lyyar
2-15-15


In the month of Ziv it gets warm
Hunkering down again to weather the thunderstorm
It looks like the winds have subsided
In the month of Lyyar
I get on with my chair
To read my bible and smoke
A good combination
Manna is gathered
In the most desolate of places
Behold I will rain bread from heaven
And coriander seeds
Behold God will meet all of our needs
And the leaves soon grow in green
We have so much more to live for....
