His Pain Palpable – v4

His eyes that usually smile
a laugh deep within
set, for a purpose
our new life with Him
walking with Him
the Son of Man, of God

His words urgent
His pain palpable
even in reflection
crying for His people
the weak believers
rejecting the love of Jesus

Wishing they would see
that they would comprehend
the Word of God
come down as a Man
the Lord, their Savior
Jesus the Christ

These who claim his name
sitting complacent in their pews
the elect of God
yet failing to recognize
God’s own Son
walking here with us

You are God’s Message – v6

If you are faithful,
if you are obedient,
You are God’s message
God’s light to the world

You are the proof of
the existence of the Creator
We are made in God’s image
God’s presence in the world

You are the voice,
the light of God with us
your message, your witness
to heal the world

You are the proof
the word from your lips
believing, sharing
the joy that is

The cord still strong – v2

other threads added
in the legacy behind them
though another string is broken
the strand is still growing
other branches in the vine
many strings remaining
in the cord of their making
a family united, marching,
in the service of the Lord
another string broken
a mortal life ended
but moving on to Glory
as the good Lord intended
another string giving way
now far fewer remaining
but the cord still strong, united
other threads added
joining their journey
marching in Jesus’ name
in the service of the Lord

A promotion on to Glory

the trumpet sounding
the long-awaited call home;
on to Glory, to His final rest,
in the service of our Lord

serving in the field of battle
in the vineyards, the forests;
marching in this wilderness
carrying God’s battle flag

ever faithful to the calling
to the teachings of our God;
honoring his commitment
to the commands of our Lord

a promotion in the field
given a new assignment;
promoted as a servant,
now marching on to Glory,
in the service of our Lord

the light shineth in darkness – 2 – v2

Jesus was in the world
the Messiah, the Savior,
the light shineth in darkness
but the darkness was not able
darkness comprehended it not
Light was alive, here with us
light to save us all
but we loved darkness
we saw it not

A Familiar Voice

Many miles may separate
my heart from your own
but you hold a special place
forever your own
A familiar voice on the line
words of love shared easily
offered to my heart.
I am not alone.
