Within And Without
3-24-14

Sometimes the earth looks much like the kingdom
Through eyes that rove where when we trust in only ourselves
By such a fear we can choose our faith instead
In being given our daily bread
With beautiful music in ones head
For which our Savior bled
Sometimes the world might resemble His throne
In that we need not fight our giants all alone
Where the peace of God transcends all understanding
According to my other translation
Discerned by a mind willing to reach out
Praying, O help my unbelief and heal my doubt
Sometimes that which lies within
Will be likened to all that remains without...




"How Do You Do?"
3-24-14

By the killing of Stephen
The church begins to grow
But it doesn't make it right
According to all that we can come to know
Where we ought to talk about what is coming next
As we quote today the Scriptures
Given to comprehend the text
This will be as our free gift
When in the book of Acts
It seemed to be the worst time to be a Christian
Where many were martyred for this cause
Where we ought not talk of what used to be
Leaving the past behind us
Yet in my hiding and retreat
O, how do you do, so she said
To serve as the muse still in my head....




We Are Dead And Alive
3-24-14

In Christ nothing is dead
When we bring it back to life
According to such daily bread
As he doth kill and make alive
As such a faith is more than only in my head
And according to orrelations
such is a word not found in the Lexicon
Serving as my subordinate devotion
Like a side dish
O, what would you change if you could
O, make me a blessing to someone today as I should
Yet to wake up because we must die and live again
By these scribblings of my black pen
In Christ, yeah everything is alive
Where all things work for good to they whom believe....
