FOR GRANTED

5 Apr

…

“The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.”  Psalm 18:46

…

Have I taken you for granted, Lord?

Can You forgive me?

…

Do you understand the pain of Circumstance,

That clouds reason.

…

You patiently wait as I blame you,

For events You had nothing to do with.

…

You sing to me songs of Love,

When I feel the depths of worthlessness.

…

You send me tender arms,

When I feel unloved and unlovable.

…

You send me songs of joy,

When tears steal my night.

…

You wake me with a tender caress,

Inviting me to intimate times with You.

…

You speak into my life the words of strength,

Courage and wisdom,

As I open the pages of Your Word.

…

You fill my mouth with the tongues of Angels,

A private language that only we understand.

…

Lord, do I take you for granted?

Will you forgive me.

INTIMATE

24 Nov

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.   Psalm 91:1

—

Through tender sighs of angel’s breath,

I speak to you, my Lord.

—

You listen intently for my desires,

Protect me from the harsh world around me.

—

With tongues of praise I call to you,

The faintest sigh you caress.

—

A love song, flowing tenderly forth, is held,

Oh so gently, in your mighty arms;

Then returned to me in a River of Peace,

Intimately shared, eternally kept.

DEVIL’S TONGUES

2 Sep

Gang Graffiti

 

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,

against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this

world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Ephesians 6:12 KJV

 

What is that written, spray painted on,

Done in the dark, between twilight and dawn.

Devil’s tongues.

—-

Set there before us, to boast, instill fear,

A warning to all, not to come near.

Devil’s tongues.

—-

Driven by Satan, sent on a quest,

Marking the town, choosing the best.

With Devil’s tongues.

—-

Taking it back, that’s why we pray,

Wickedness in high places,

Step out of the way.

—-

Soap, paint and sanding never will stand,

Only sanctification through the Blood of the Lamb.

—————————————

A change in gang activity

can only be made

through prayer.
