Witnesses
7-14-15


Every night the dreamers come back to life
Hope, faith and vanity
The greatest gift is eternal life
Many believed after he spake
Son of man not came to destroy man's lives but to save them
O, quicken me according to your name
I was calling out turning on Bono
One hour before the rising of another sun
I've waited for you
And I'd like to say that you're the one
At the mouth of two witnesses
Another shopping run
Is done
Then the matter will be established
And I am one this morning to succeed today
Go and sin no more
How often is the lamp of the wicked put out...








Mud (Sunup)
7-14-15


Mud in my cup
By the blood of sunup
As the day begs the night for mercy
It's time to get a move on
Checkmate
The witness of one cannot testify
By my Grace of unmerited favor
It runs like a river to the sea
To know truth that truth will make you free
Time for a fresh batch
For the tasting of myself and me
Sin has no more dominion over you
And I will walk me out into the morning dew
And take a good look around to see my firefly salvation
Not by baptism
Becoming servants of righteousness
And free again of sin and death
Jesus has the cure when I catch my breath
Another man dies
In the bitterness of his soul...












Joy Cometh
7-14-15


Joy cometh in the morning
As today I pray for diplomacy and tact
And to pass on the news of the fact
To take a vow and seal a pact
By grace, by unmerited favor
Courage is what I lacked
We are of Abraham's seed
As met will be our every want and need
Larry on the drums and good weed
Never in bondage to any man
It's soon time to step into the bathtub
And to clean my can
In the rain we hear their laughter
Even though the shit might hit the fan
They, my servants which I brought forth
To on this day travel one mile north
And do it all again...












Bath Time
7-14-15


Yet servants to sin
I pay those taxes
Stretched over black and blue
To ye yield yourselves servants to obey
In that we will find the Way
Whether of obedience unto life
Or sin unto death
O, let me stop and catch my breath
In the trees our sons stand naked
As am I when I step into the water to be made clean
We are Abraham's seed
Never in bondage to any man
Met is our every want and need
Today it is good enough
That I do the best I can
The servant won't abide in the house forever
As doth the Son
What saith Scripture
You are the One.....










Drizzle
7-14-15


The weather had other plans
I wake to drizzling
Never was I one to recycle cans
The law of Spirit, life in Christ
Made me free from the law of sin and death
Not by works lest any man should boast
If ye were Abraham's children
You would learn to love me the most
Not as a Jew outwardly
Neither the circumcision of the flesh made by hands
Still building and burning down love
The sorrows of this life are the illusions to be shattered
What saith Scripture
Cast out the bondwoman and her son
I go there with you
You have sent widows away
With both hands full...
