On this forever Saturday afternoon
I seek to stay at it
And to wake tomorrow not too late and not too soon
I turn my collar to the cold and damp
And when I stay at home I'm already at camp
They have not been humbled
As upon their pride they stumbled
Lacking everything to be consumed by sword and famine
Taking courage to open another can of tuna and salmon
As for the word you have spoken
May tomorrow's singing out of my heart be my true token
Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers
Where we are not to judge them
As so you ask do I know
And I say no!










Baruch Warned
8-8-15


Baruch warned of Self-seeking
A Christian scorned
Spiritually speaking
Time to forgive everyone that has ever wronged me
According to the multitude that hath thronged me
Lord, search me
Make me to know wisdom in the hidden parts
Jesus is born and time starts
Our prophesy against Egypt and poison darts
Serving as the remedy in weather charts
Not of this world
But we have to walk in it
It starts in our hearts
And works its way out
Losing all of their guilty stains
Do the analysis but count not your pains
This do in remembrance of me
Not to get to heaven but just to remember...










Like Snapping Turtles
8-8-15


Life today is a test
And I've already passed it with flying colors
And crawling small sounds
Like snapping turtles
Amongst the aspens and the myrtles
Concerning the army of Pharaoh
I could choose to put it all down till tomorrow
For my sweet Beulah land
I still seek to understand
For a matter of rejection
For ones own well being
For the parable of the great supper
I get something to eat
So I can doze off
He has made the valley his higher ground
Homesick for a country for which I've never been before....










The Lord's Day
8-9-15


Mountain in the shadow of light
Morning birds sing
I'm in for a fight
It's the Lord's day again
At the chime of six
I turn to face the music man
Made a great supper and bade many
And I am happy even if I'm not getting any
Out there the matter of rejection
Another declining on the invitation
I will follow you
Pain and fear affects the greatest of Christians
To what end but to recoil and cower  in your corner
As the heart affects behavior
Do you really want me with all of this baggage
We make excuses not to show up
And again fill my coffee cup
I'm ready to face another day
Today's the Lord's day....










Today I Show
8-9-15


I pray thee let me be excused
So said I when I didn't want to go
But today I show and let Jesus know
Go out and invite the poor, the maimed and the halt
You made it here
Halleluliah
The black rain falls on me
Bleeding hard
God wants his house for empty seats at my row
Tell me something
The Maker of the house is happy
For skin and the stars we embrace
Come the purpose
Yeah, there is room
In the churches where the rejected are accepted
Come this huge feast called salvation
Today I show...
