standing like him

standing like him
like those in Babylon
faithful to Him
our Creator, our God
standing with them
remaining faithful
may we be like
these fathers
of our faith

not so fast

not so fast
earthly king
I am the ruler
of everything
not so fast
claiming too much
nothing created
by your touch
not so fast
human sovereign
I am the Creator
of heaven and earth
I gave you power
I can remove it
your kingdom gone
your mind dust

not so fast
Daniel 4:31 – 32 (The Message)
The words were no sooner out of his mouth
than a voice out of heaven spoke,
“This is the verdict on you, King Nebuchadnezzar:
Your kingdom is taken from you. You will be driven out
of human company and live with the wild animals.
You will eat grass like an ox. The sentence is for
seven seasons, enough time to learn that the High God
rules human kingdoms and puts whomever he wishes in charge.”

Daniel 4:30-31 King James Version (KJV)
“30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon,
that I have built for the house of the kingdom by
the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell
a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar,
to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.”

I, I, Me, Mine

I, I, Me, Mine
depending on the translation
the words of Nebuchadnezzar
claiming creation, of his power
no mention of God
His hand upon him
no sense there is One
far greater than him
I, I, Me, Mine
no self-made man
upon the earth

while he was speaking

while he was speaking
claiming too much
struck by the hand
by the touch of God
losing his reason,
his kingdom, his mind
living with the animals
for claiming too much
being the creator
not make of the dust.

you are the tree

you are the tree
wood of this earth
rising up to heaven
rooted in the ground
the ways of the earth
your ways, oh King,
not giving credit
to the One above
to the Lord Almighty
Creator of all
you are the tree
how the mighty will fall.

writing our lives

God will sit in judgment
reviewing the book He has kept
writing our lives
the choices we have made
whether we were faithful
if we had followed Him
His hand guiding
our lives back to Him

the Lord Giveth

great wealth
great power
hone for a moment
a breath
by the hand of God
the Lord giveth
and the Lord taketh away
God, not things, is powerful
the whole earth
is in His hand

a small stone

a small stone
becoming a mountain
never to end
from the hand of God
cut from the rock
the mountain
becoming a kingdom
a living mountain
growing, building
without end

sharing the dream

tell me my dream
the image I saw
unravel the mystery
speak the unseen
share aloud
the vision I saw
share the dream
speak it out loud

everything in the future

a prophetic voice
able to see visions
to interpret dreams
everything in the future
the rise and fall
of many kingdoms
the coming of
God’s eternal kingdom
everything in the future
the distant horizon
able through God
to see dreams, visions

not willing to eat

not willing to eat
to be made unclean
faithful to God
to their law
asking for favor
exception to the rule
granted this blessing
to remain true
