Possibilities

He forgives all your iniquities
He lives and heals all your diseases
In my stomach I've got the words
A promise to claim even above the name
So is the Word
O, stay in the game
No end to his forgiveness
Another lion to tame
Not a license to sin
But a chance to change
Leave behind all anger and resentment
This is no way to live
Forgive the crime
Cancel its penalty and pardon
Avocados in the refrigerator harden
I take them out till they get ripe
Good means better in all things the world has to offer
And not as flawless
Where the healing has begun
I see a mess, God sees a ministry
I see a problem, God sees possibilities
To make love underneath the stars
He crowns you with lovingkindness
And tender mercies
Where God doth fill in the blanks...

Better off upright
So I have no time to dwell on it
To saddle up my black beauty
And be One to get on it
Where the healing has begun
He crowns you with lovingkindness
A crown to represent ones victory
We cast it down at his feet
Three more hours
I ought not start the countdown
It's all in this wonderful game
He satisfies thy mouth  with good things
Good meaning better but not flawless
God will fill in the blanks
And I will continually give thanks
In the post resurrection
Many still had infirmity
Delivered to our four squads
Many lovers and many gods
Otherwise known as quaternions
I love the language
Such might be an idol
But it points me toward him
With a small bouquet
Better off upright...










On Ephesians 3:20
5-23-15


For Herod Agrippa the first
This afternoon I hunger and thirst
I come home to lay down and die
But thankful to live another year
Me with myself and I
My trinity under the blue sky
To the church at Antioch
And a new name, Christian
As simple as that
Right next to my cat
According to Oikoumene
And another bad penny of verdigris
As worthy as any
I want you to meet me there
Now unto him that is able to do
Above what we ask and think
Pardon must not only be granted
It must also be accepted
But on another record
How great is our God in the music....

Seeing that he's got clean clothes
Pointing the finger at me
Standing in your dwellings
Coming through darling
I ramble as the word think means to imagine
And so you are
We don't ask for fear of being disappointed
I pray to be of good company
Where war comes about
Where desires are not met
I've got a home on high
You try for things you haven't asked for
O, so far away
All I ask is for well being today
God bless even my flaws and idiosyncrasies
In another time and place
Let the bible talk for itself
Amazing grace is still the beautiful mystery
Fear not....












Aroused Revisited
5-23-15


By this broken arrow
Six bells chime where my cat is purring
And we still are straying and erring
Over on the railroad and church tomorrow
Every scrapbook stuck with glue
For Ahaz the son of Jotham
Fear not whom cometh against you
It shall not stand
And your agreement with death is disannulled
O Emmanuel, God with us
On your high flying cloud
We don't ask because we underestimate God
Gandhi said if you think you can then you're right
If you do not believe it will not be established
Ahaz asked not, he missed out
First called Christians at Antioch
Today's my birthday
To raise him up and but arouse
A light shone in the prison
O, sweet thing
All I ask for is well being...
