United forever, eternal,
before the beginning of time...
God in three persons,
Blessed Trinity…
 
Holy, Holy, Holy,
Our Lord God Almighty...
All we know is within Him,
Blessed Trinity…
 
None of them is subordinate,
All of them, God, divine...
We worship One God, eternal,
Blessed Trinity…

God the Father spoke a Word -
Light to pierce the chaos
to create, to build from nothing,
the universe, life, all that is,
to make the sacred order…
 
God spoke Light into the world
descending to earth from heaven,
the Immortal made mortal,
Eternity made flesh,
Emmanuel, God with us…
 
God is here with us,
Abiding, now living inside us,
The Christ child, the Messiah,
Spirit, all of eternity, of peace,
in the Word of Light… Jesus…

living in the shadows – v2

living in shadows
in harms unspoken
of wounds never seen
of wounds never healed
those too deep to reveal…
 
lost years of torment, of pain,
of struggle, of torment,
of wounds never healed,
separated hearts, aching,
never quite the same…
 
hearts joined but
set apart, silent,
never fully together
never bound as intended
scripture unfulfilled…
 
lost years of anguish, of pain,
unspoken scar tissue, struggle,
lost time to the Enemy, to Satan,
separated from one another,
separated from God…

Opening Pandora’s Box - v2

The Fall of Man, of each of us,
listening to the snake,
to the primordial, the center,
the flesh, who we are hidden,
under the place of reason,
of power over lust, desires,
shattered, ashamed of ourselves,
finding ourselves naked, broken,
raw, exposed, bleeding cursed,
separated from God, perfection,
the Garden as He had created,
estranged from the source of life,
our loving God, our Creator…
 
No safety net, no protection,
making rash, unthinking choices,
opening Pandora’s Box, chaos,
without considering, studying,
without weighing the option,
the consequences of our sin,
our separation from God,
righteous judgment upon us,
our lives cast into the fire, the pit,
suffering for moments of joy,
of pleasure, of the flesh,
finding our lives empty,
paying an awful cost…

constant companions
burdens, my demons,

my guilt and my shame…
 
I am broken, in chaos,
I give in to my flesh,
burdens I carry daily,
my guilt and my shame…
 
constant companions,
God, living Holy Spirit,

defeat my guilt, my shame…

But You meet me here,
cleanse me, heal me,
of my guilt and my shame…

in Our likeness - 2 - v2

(in Our image)
 
This one word so important,
a critical distinction,
speaking a truth eternal,
a mystery sublime...
 
The essence of scripture,
God's story of love, of Jesus,
God in flesh appearing,
Man made in Our likeness,
forever, for all time...
 
Made in Our likeness,
the Trinity at the beginning,
Christ alive at Creation,
in the manger, and on the cross…

in Our likeness - 2

One word so important
the critical distinction
speaking a truth eternal
a mystery sublime...
 
essence of scripture
God in flesh appearing,
but Man made in Our likeness,
forever, for all time...
 
Made in Our likeness
the Trinity at the beginning
Christ alive at creation,
in the manger, on the cross…

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

The Poetry of Creation – v2

By God’s hands, by the breath

the waters moving at creation

the word of God bringing

light into the darkness

The hands of the Potter

knowing me, the hairs on my head

the number of my days;

Plans for us, all of our lives

watched over, protected by God
