A Faraway Land

I dream of a faraway beautiful land

A place that is majestic and grand

With gates of pearls and jasper stone

I dream of a mansion that is all my own

With airy rooms so light and free

Surrounded by a brillant crystal sea

I dream of my Savior’s beautiful face

Who will come and take me to this holy place

For He has promised and will keep His Word

I dream of His white horse and flaming sword

The angels singing harmony across the skies

As He removes the evil with its tormented cries

I dream of going to my eternal place in glory

For I believed the Bible’s old, old story

Now I dream that all will heed the warning

And get right with God before the morning

He will split the Eastern sky with lightning bright

It will not be a dream visiting you in the night

I invite you to go with me to that beautiful faraway land.

Love Tried

Jumbled words

Fell from my mouth

As I made my excuses

Why I didn’t have to listen

To their voices of concern

For my eternal soul.

“It wasn’t my fault!”

“Everyone is doing it!”

“It’s my life and I’ll do what I want!”

“You can’t tell me what to do!”

“I’m grown now!”

“You are not my boss!”

Oh! How I wish I could

Take them all back

For love had tried to teach me

To warn me what lay ahead

When I walked in the ways of sin.

Flames of fire now

Lick at my soul

I knew everything in my arrogance

Thought I was something

On my own and told my parents so

With the cruelest of attitudes

Oh! How I wish I could

Take them all back

For love had tried to teach me

To warn me of what lay ahead

When I walked in the ways of sin.

“Daddy, I am so sorry!”

“Mama, can I wipe your tears away?”

“I want to feel your cool hands of love

Upon my brow again!”

“It is so hot here!”

“Darkness!”

“Oh, God forgive me!”

Cool hands caress my face

I open my eyes

Daddy’s prayer so full of love

Wakes me from my horrible dream.

I am awake now but eternally changed

For with love all is not lost!

I have listened and finally heard

Their voices of sweet, saving love.

Slow-moving Storms

Never has there been

Such a time as this

With quarreling, strife,

And bickering

Fading light as evil calls

Darkness creeping in

Like slow-moving storms

Howling winds of turmoil

The blowing dust of change

Thunder and lightning crash

Within the soul of doubt

Haunting voices wooing

The internal choices

Choose wisely my friend

For eternity is the prize

What will it be lost soul?

Heaven with it’s glory

Or hell with it’s torment?

There is no in-between!

Glorious Breath

memories linger

haunting thoughts

deepening hole

can’t breathe

shadows dancing

reaching out

falling-falling

can’t breathe

swirling mist

lost souls

tormenting tears

falling-falling

can’t breathe

catch me-catch me

pleading-bleeding

looking up

expecting hope

lightning flashing

hands reaching

grasping-floating

saving grace

praising-loving

glorious breath

freedom-freedom

rising-rising

Glorious Breath!

Behold the Face

I want to wash all cares away

With living waters so supreme

Sing the glorious’Amazing Grace’

See the smiles of my Savior King.

I want to wear a crown of gold

With jewels so sparkling bright

Live in a mansion like I’ve been told

Bask in the glory of Heaven’ Light.

I want to see my Master’s home

With the angels all around

Smell the fragrance of each room

Listen to each heavenly sound.

I want to be for all eternity

With my Lord and King

Praise Him with heart-felt sincerity

Hear the voices of the angels sing.

I want to walk forever free

With God’s only begotten Son

Talk with Him about all I see

And behold the face of the Holy One.

A Tale That is Told

Psalm 90:9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.”

“We spend our days as a tale that is told.”

From our infancy until we are considered old

So what will our life’s tale have to say,

About our walk into this God-given day?

Were we good children when put to the test?

Was patience a nearly impossible quest?

Would we bring honor to our God and King?

If our life was to be our only offering?

Our days are flying by at eternal speed

As God is still meeting our earthly need

So will this be the testimony of our broken soul?

The tale that Christ Jesus has made us whole?

OH! We must tell the tales that need to be told!

The ones about Heaven and the streets of gold

Show the children the paths to be trod

How to be saved by the truths of God

We need to speak about the love that flowed so free

From Calvary’s timbered bloody tree

OH! Sinner listen and don’t walk hell’s path

The Word tells us of the Father’s eternal wrath

The Truth has been told for God cannot lie

There are two places to go when we die

We will be responsible for what we behold

For God has written down the tale our life told.

By Holy Grace

Under the shadow of an empty cross

My Lord found me so lonely and lost

Tempted and tried I had fallen from grace

I just wanted to hide in a dark dreary place.

But from the bondage of my tormented soul

I heard Him whisper, “I can make you whole.”

“Oh, crying child don’t you see?

“By Holy Grace I have ransomed thee!”

No longer the captive of shameful tears

He cleansed by heart of all it’s fears

and brought me beyond my cross of shame

To an old wooden one that bore His name.

He walked me out of that shadowy night

Into the glory of His precious saving Light

I felt His love embracing me

As by Holy Grace he set me free.

Rainbows and Orchids

Clear across the ocean’s sky

Is a land I’ve never seen

Where rainbows and orchids

Over mountain tops do lean

Where waterfalls with wooded lanes

Dance on air so clean

Where precious gems and sapphire jewels

Sit in the sun to gleam

Where shady nooks with snow white sands

Whisper lovingly to the wind

Where mountain trails and valley grass

Surround a sky blue stream

Where friends and loved ones, gone on before

Listen sweetly as angels sing

Where mighty chorus bands

Salute the glorious King

Where everyone, God and man

Are always as they seem

Clear across the ocean’s sky

Is a land that waits for me

Where rainbows and orchids

Forever fill my dreams.

Forever Found

Bound by eternity ties ever strong

Keep pulling forward-to further along

Windows of time, through open doors

Forever guided by our expansion of more.

Needs ever filling, needs never met

Comparing the two, it’s not over yet!

Taking and giving replacing the void

Time never spent, hurts to avoid.

Eyes toward the future seeing no end

Mortals walking, souls to ascend

Lost in the darkness, calls to the light

Ever trying doing what’s right.

Heaven eternal granting the dream

Finding the river of mercy’s sweet stream

Cords of compassion, eternity bound

Forever forward-forever found.
