Moments Of Silence
A wave of many thoughts rushed to the shore to dissipate
They left all kinds of memories even the clouds did not hold back
Some were happy and sad, a journey that is still going on today
For now, I awake to the sunshine and the breath of fresh air around
In these moments of silence, I see pictures of time gone by
And many faces with happy smiles and the tears that ran down
Life is beautiful, but with a snare, part of the human condition that’s there
And love, the unconditional feeling that we just can’t live without
So, like the seasons that come and embrace our life’s to see and tell
Family, Friends, and even strangers get to see us at our best as well
But time lingers on, new waves come to shore to break and dissipate
Those that leave us will take their memories with them to share for eternity
And our silent thoughts record the past of our wonderful, and sad lives
All part of the grand plan of our lives, like the clouds that come and go
And wait for the sun’s rays to reconfigure their attitude, pain and then rain
Life with its many pictures, words, and rhythm, come from the heart for us to shine

The Supremacy of the Son of God
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

Time Will Tell
There is peace in the land where chaos abounds, some hearts are holding still
All has been said awkwardly and with no certainty; we’ll continue to wait
We’re at the mercy of waves in the atmospheric winds that decided to give in
Time will tell if it all gets well; when will it dissipate, it needs to go far away
Those holding still will take care and trust in the One who holds the world
Death is at our door-steps, it will pass those living the Word with no effect
This could be a warning for humanity’s moral standard that is down and out
The eyes of the Watcher are all over the world, His view to what is going on
He gives his heart to the ones who call upon his name, day-in, and night-out
What can we say for humanities’ downfall, they live with no restraints at all
Time will tell when nature is disrupted and the events will start to draw near
Like a thief in the night, the element of surprise will surely alarm their hearts
For now, we’re sailing through tumultuous waters, where one could easily fall
The sign of the times are at hand, and the love of God continues to represent
Choose now who will have your heart for time is short and life is not promised
Lord, thank you for our lives, the clouds the trees, and the air that we breathe

The New Reality
>
Today is all I have, tomorrow is a thought away from the reality I know
It’s not promised to me, but there’s a hope that transcends beyond the heart
Sunny days are welcome to balance the rumors that time and space bring on
But all is well, it will fall in place like the seasons that wait their turn to inform
It will all be worth it to know, that you know, the transition will be an amazing feat
Like day and night, a revelation of spirit and body, a transformation of inner light
A new perfect life, a reality beyond one’s wildest dream, where light is the thing
The darkness will never get ahold of this new life, we will never see it crawl back
So tomorrow is what I envision, the sun will shine as we continue, as it may be
Hope is my inner guide, I am waiting for the return, I may not see it, but I’m ready
Love is so overwhelming, the leading force of the Spirit within will see us through
It is well with my soul as I wait for the second coming of my Lord, and Savior
What force on earth or any other could separate us from the love of God’s nurture
His love is so prevalent in our daily lives the reason why we do and move around
He will forever be with us whether we’re good or bad to draw us near him
He is all that we need as we get up in the morning, ready to start a new day

He Is Here And Everywhere
I wake up in the morning and he is still here
I can breathe and see everything far and near
I’m allowed to live one more day to be for-filled
The gift of life is the most amazing thing to inhale
I know he is there and everywhere in and around us
Watching, caring and most of all showing his love
There is no greater love than what he had demonstrated
He is all we need now, tomorrow, beyond and forever
Sad for those, that will not acknowledge his unconditional love
Thought they reject him, he still loves them in spite of their ways
How could he judge those into an eternal doomsday forever
They chose their eternal destiny; not what he wanted for them
There is time to seek and find, to except him for your eternal life
He holds the keys to life and death; don’t you want to live forever
How can you miss what he has in store for you, to see in Heaven
A sad moment in eternity for choosing what you wanted instead

BEFORE TIME AND SPACE
Before the beginning of time, when you began to formulate
The conception of what we’re all about
Creatures created to praise and to glorify your name
For your wondrous works and benevolence, till this very day
You decided to separate a remnant, a people for yourself
Who would know you and live by your word
However, in order for those conditions to take place
A blood sacrifice was needed, to cleanse and to demonstrate
Your love, mercy, and grace to a dying people, who needed your embrace
You knew a rebellion would take place to separate us from your holiness
And a rebirth would be necessary by Spirit and water to recreate
And take precedence over the first birth for redemption to take
A restoration of spirit, soul, and body with a new purpose to comprehend
Now humanity has the ultimate choice in response to what you did
To accept your sacrifice into their lives for their own sake
In the process of acceptance, your Spirit will give eternal life
And this is your delight to overwhelm us with your love and mercy
Through the power of the Holy Spirit and the blood sacrifice of your Son
Who paid a high price in order to reconcile us to you forever
Whom you have endowed all and have put everything under his feet
And, who is the author and the finisher of our faith
And now sits at the right hand of his father’s throne
To receive honor, glory, and power forever and ever
When the time arrives to close the curtains on this stage
He will come with the sword of the Spirit to judge the nations
And like a shepherd will separate the sheep from the goats
We must be so ever watchful for we don’t know the time of the day
When our Lord will come or when we’ll leave the decay of this place
Be still and know, all of nature waits and groans for the coming Lord today

The Antidote (the Blood of Jesus)
Today is the day, and tomorrow is what will follow to be
Not an eternity just yet, but a day by day activity of life
A reality to be reckoned with, in its proper place and time
A downward spiral of infected thoughts to linger on impaired
The good and the bad, living in a state of insecurity and wrath
Those willing to seek and find, the others living in a time zone
For the time will catch-up and pull the reigns of life to face the Light
A reality, all will face on that day when our residence will change
The stain of life is so ever-present in the days that run us down
Yet, we don’t think of the sorrow and pain that comes when we stray
It’s what comes easy, the way the infection in us will have its way
An antidote is needed to break the cycle of death for eternal life to take
Before time existed, a plan was set in placed to save humanity
The lamp that was slain, gave his pureblood as the antidote to reframe
This was the sacrifice that had please the Father to attain eternal life
Acceptance of the antidote will save us from eternal damnation forever

Open Your Eyes And See
Into the night and then out to the day, where time is certain without delay
Life has a start with the winds of change, and the sun to illuminate the day
Some of us have a purpose, and others just stray, still breathing the given air
With no thought nor concern that their journey will come to a close, upstairs
All are present and out in the open, in the fields of stupidity, shame and doubt.
Carelessness and indulgences permeate a sphere of influence throughout
The rains will come with the winds to show, His way of saying hello
Such a reminder to let us know, how it could all end letting everything go
How patient and loving is the Lord, He waits for those that chose to know
To acknowledge his way will restore and realign a path that leads to hope
Life without resolve is aimless, living in a purple haze we’ll soon find out
A determining factor with no accountability, a life with reasons to doubt
Open your eyes and see a reality that can be believed, how we are known
Seek to find and know, for he gave his life for all who chose to be reborn
For salvation is a gift, given to save us from the penalty of sin at death
Then, will enter into the joy of the Lord’s delight, at our last breath

Bad, Sad and Mad
What can be so bad, sad and mad
Those who missed salvation
And did not accept the savior’s plan
Their eternal destination will surely be bad
For not believing and living a godly life
They will have all the reasons to be sad
Knowing how great salvation they’ve passed
Will surely make them mad
