By Inheritance
9-16-15


Planted in the closet
Scratching at the door
Little baby roses punch you in the nose
These words belong to us all
And therefore it is not an infringement to quote them
Made so much better than the angels by inheritance
Obtained a more excellent name than they
Or shall a law itself against him
When cutting down that Christmas tree
He will kindle my burning
In my zeal that yet consumes
Shall the axe boast itself
Against he that hews down the cedar
For the Assyrians' advance and defeat
There is no such name for my street
A remnant of them will return....








Express Image
9-16-15


Come the express image of his person
A caution beginning line to another poem
Making his angels spirits
And his ministers a flame of fire
Thou loved righteousness and hated iniquity
We don't need to be on our own
Therefore God anointed thee
With oil and gladness above thy fellows
Sitting down at the right hand of the Majesty on high
As Lebanon will fall by the mighty one
Someone needs to turn the page
As our Davidic kingdom is to be restored
We have nothing to defend
In that which we heard
Come the express image....










A Remnant Will Return
9-16-15


If the word spoken by angels was steadfast
Surely this tabernacle would be built to last
How then shall we escape if we neglect such great Salvation
For every transgression receiving a just recompense and reward
All things are possible today in the Lord
Roll muddy river
I pour you down the sink and put on a fresh batch
For the Lord the God of hosts will make a determined end
In the midst of the land
And he will have mercy
If we go there and seek to understand
Where there's nothing left to do but count the years...










Shake A Fist
9-16-15


Yet to shake his fist
At the mount of the daughter of Zion
Our high hill
Shadow boxing in the apartments
As a vesture thou fold them up
As this morning I refill my cup
Esau holds a blessing
I expected something worse
We ought to take more earnest heed
To the things we heard lest we should let them slip
Yet again we're wandering the land
But thou art the same and thine years shall not fail
Still I look for my chateau
And make that commitment to set sail....
