Dry Bones
8-8-15


Determined to stick it out
And to suck it up
Starving for companionship
No one down at the bench
To make the lonesome doubt
For Jesus the Cornerstone
And us as lively stones
This makes the church of the living God
Taking up Joseph's dry bones
False stuff about us is all going on
As I seek slumber and wait for a comforting yawn
Hear the truth
Ears to hear, let him hear
Our pillar is to lift up for display
How does it feel to be a Jesus freak
We lift it up in truth
Did yet still in ones youth
In a need to lift up the bible
For sound instruction...








Hold Forth The Word
8-8-15


Today seems like an endless battle
For all goats, sheep and cattle
Plundering the spoil
Thundering for oil
To hide the truth in our hearts
Memorize verses to handle temptations tactfully
Hold forth the word
Go north
And hear the singing bird
You'll have your own Gethseneme
Where you'll thirst while blessed and wise
As such cursed the world offers death
O, let me catch my breath
The book offers life
Study to show yourself approved
And all over again in this I am moved
Here I am, send me back down to the bench...










Folded
8-8-15


Folded my laundry
Done, proud
It's nice to have clean briefs and shirts
As it feels good even when it hurts
All the captains of such forces are with me
And with folly so my faith flirts
From the least to the greatest
Coming near I step out again in joy that conquereth fear
We will go back into Egypt where we should see no war
Tossing aside the orange rind and that pink lady apple core
Let the Lord be true and faithful
For he wants us to of him want more...








I Already Got It
8-8-15


Returning out of the places where they have been driven
Today I am thankful for
As that I am already given
Act as if you already own it
The gig is on today
No need to postpone it
Maybe they'll get me
All the people from the least to the greatest
Are right here and Now
Gathering wine and summer fruit
Forming a line for cards all of the same suit
Great is the mystery of godliness
For God manifested in the flesh
I know I will win
When my heart just won't give in
Believed on in the world of sin
Received up into glory
I go there to tell my story
Justified in the Spirit
For the dog a bone to bury....
