Into Galatia
5-23-15


Suffering draws you apart from worldly pleasues
To bring you to He
Sometimes we get what we ask for
In that we can still clearly see
Right back where it began
Jesus finds Phillip
Can anything good come out of Nazareth
Come and see
I will give you the sure mercies of David
So you can write a new song
By the Greek noun of magos we draw close
And cast our lots
And have again our hots
For the wee lass in our thoughts
Some kind of magic
Of our past in its glory
East into Galatia
Across the sea into Cyprus
No man ought to be an island as such
With the mainland and with someone get in touch
Under a fig tree napping or reading
Healing or still bleeding
I keep the primal sound
Where trials abound....








With Love (Psalm 139)
5-23-15


Reading the accent of Jacob's ladder
Afraid of the asp and the adder
Everyone that asks receives
Pray for patience
Get the trial and hold your horses
And dig in your heels
My God, why does my life matter!
What will you do with me
Just be honest and share all that you can see
This knowledge is quite wonderful
For thee Lord, you know what I can come to be
Yes, you understand my thought
Where can I flee from your presence
Time to reflect better days to reason
Of favor and another good flavor
With God darkness is as light
Not to rule with a rod but with love...










Marvel And Live
5-23-15


Behold your despisers
Teach them to love, marvel, perish and live
And seek what lies above
Off to anoint me with the oil of gladness
Ask God, why does my life matter
what will you do with me
To but transcend
Now it happened in Iconium
And I'm all dressed up and ready to go
O, ho, ho
Where can I run
Towards your presence to see you there
Darkness bringeth the fear of the unknown
Such must dissipate in the face of light
Read the words of Solomon
Where time is not an obstacle
In the course of innocence
I have this plethora
Time is not an obstacle to his intimacies
Two hours ago I turn forty-two
For I work a work in your days
That you will not believe
Fleeing to the cities of Lyconia
Behold your lovers
I will meet you there again
Marvel and live...










Into Iconium

What is the meaning of life
Other than glory and love
How do we relinquish all strife
But to seek these things above
Ten true summers long
Stay in where it's cool
And it's cool with me
Without love its value is taken away
Knowing my plethora
Angels appear to our shepherds
There's going to be a baby born in the manger
Our Christmas theme we can know all year round
The bible has more crime than what is on television
Something in it for everyone's taste
Of this plethora
By the greatest commandment
To love vertically and horizontally
The King of kings is born to us all....










Vertical And Horizontal
5-23-15


Past tense British accent
Distracts and thwarts my purpose
To study myself to be approved
Having persuaded the multitudes
To appoint and to choose to anoint
In nothing to lose
Not to reject it
Yet to thrust it from you
I have set you in the light of the Gentiles
That you should be for salvation
To the ends of the earth
I fear not today my possible outcome
Love God vertical
Love others horizontal
In this you will triumph
The hard question, what is the meaning of this life
God is not afraid of these difficult inquiries
A collection just to look upon
A plethora, abundance
Of what God wants for me
Here, Now and today
On the next Sabbath
I do it all again....
