That's just Him

While traveling on the road of life
which is often congested with strife
If you make Jehovah Jireh
your driver
the number of accidents you incur will not be high

Those who do not read the Bible need to take heed
Because He is the God that provides your need
and if you become a rider
with Jehovah Jireh
your abundance will be great indeed

Because Emmanuel gives us grace
therefore the potholes on life's surface
maybe bad, but they serve a purpose

He's our Dad and when He hits our bod
with what we believe to be a punishment rod
But actually is an instrument of His unconditional love

Because He loved us, before we loved Him
and even though we sin
and He despises sin
He still is our best friend

Though the door to Him is narrow and satan is always trying to hit us with his deadly arrows
amd to survive the devil's attacks we must borrow
God's grace filled arrows

Because He loved us, before we loved Him
and even though we sin
and He despises sin
He still is our best friend
But why? ...because that's just Him.

On the Inside

my favorite Bible verse of all
is what Israel's last judge said 2 King Saul
"What is this bleating of sheep I hear?"
which suddenly ensued Saul w/ fear
he knew he did not listen 2 God's Word
instead, the complaining of his men is what he heard
he even went as far as 2 try 2 fool God's prophet
w/ a false emphatic sacrifice, which he knew was not proper
N order 2 B God's anointed King of Israel
it is Yahweh, not men, he should have feared
because mortals
can falter
but 2 attributes of God R, omniscience & 2 B omnipotent
which means not only R His commands powerful, but always legit.

some believe I talk a good talk
but walk a bad walk
some believe that this extremely flawed Christian has no spiritual growth
but those who knew Nu B4 coming out of the water knows
she is definitely not the person she used 2 B
because "I said something, she did not like & she didn't slap the 7734 out of me"
& yes I got N2 a fight w/ God @ Wegmans UC
because He made me purchase $25.00 worth of food just 4 me
& yes U do not like some of the things I say
but the majority of the time when I offend, it's out of ignorance not hate
I know I'm not a perfecter
& if I think I am I need 2 take U 2 my leader
because 2 err is human not divine
& I know I'm definitely a member of mankind

& yes, it is true, I need 2 read my Bible more
& yes, it is true, I need 2 pray more
& yes, it is true, I need 2 seek God more
& yes, it is true, I need 2 luv more

But when I fall down, I dust myself off & get back up
Because I've totally torn the Bible up
& I've come 2 the same conclusion, Jehovah always fills my cup
Usually, I put others B4 myself
I'm usually willing 2 volunteer &/or help
U may think my attitude & speech
Is a little bit 2 street

I feel
I do not have time 2 unpeel
& think of a nice way 2 reveal
that God's luv is a true thrill
Because it's a war & Satan's out 2 destroy & kill

The young ones think a funeral is like a high, a rush
Lucifer has even romanticized death, w/ your likeness immortalized w/ an airbrush
If only they would open their eyes & use that organ N their head
& realize there's no honor or respect N dying just 2 B dead
I might not show it, but it tears me up
That the ones on the street think sin is the only way 2 fill their cup
I have a good heart & my Lord knows it
Even when I'm N the middle of a conniption fit
So I say this w/ truth & not w/ pride
I am fearfully & wonderfully made, but on the inside

From Nazareth

All who knew me back N the day
When I use 2 bang N such evil ways
Now they ask, "Nu who ya hanging w/?"
The leader of my posse is the bro from Nazareth

Yo, U don't want 2 mess w/ this bro
He'll make every knee bow 2 the floor
This homeboy don't take no crap
His M.O. is 2 hit 'cha w/ a spiritual slap

If U think His rep is bad
Ever heard, the rep of His Dad?
The best banger history ever had
The crew He had was hard & tight
He commanded millions of Israelites

Rahab's peeps called Him a mighty God
That explains why the walls crumbled down
The Jericho battle He easily won
The Dad is good & so is the Son

Honestly, I must confess
His Dad will put U thru a holy test
This homeboy is ow so bad
Son of the best banger history ever had
U can C why His Pop's #1
The Dad is good & so is the Son

Now, let's back-up 2 this Rahab girl
She became and ancestor of the Savior of the World
She gave up her evil ways
Because of the Bible she'll B remembered always

Remember when Paul was Saul
& how he was Stephen's pitfall
But the NT, he wrote almost all
It doesn't matter who U used 2 B
Thats my point, this part of the story
It doesn't matter who U was
Believers R related 2 King Jesus
Because w/ Jesus. the battle is won
God made Him the chosen one

So the next time someone ask, "who ya hanging w/?"
Respond w/ the bro from Nazareth

Terri Lee

I'm so glad my "Ace Coom"
made it 2 the "rooms"
No drug, no beer
She's celebrating 9 years

I miss Ma Sharp
David's playing her his harp
She's looking down on U
w/ luv only a Mom could
She's so proud of her Terri Lee
Who would have thought, 9 years sobriety

Now Ma dwells N a heavenly neighborhood
But God takes bad & turns it 2 good
Because of His loving grace
Terri can C her "Ace Coom's" face
Because the day Ma left this earth
God gave Daryn a rebirth
Ma is looking down, proud of U
& so am I 2
Becasue N the end, U can C
God also gave a rebirth 2 Terri Lee

Breaking Point

all the crap I have 2 go thru
just to keep sanity on my menu
they're pulling me here
they're pulling me there
they act like I am unaware

because very human has a breaking point
but if they're lucky they make it to His spiritual joint
there 4 life won't
put them 2 their breaking point

i know Jesus will b
my stop sign 2 insanity
because I know He
loves me
even when He was hung on that 1st Xmas tree
they lie
i cry
my Savior please rescue me

because every human has a breaking point
but if they're lucky they make it 2 His spiritual joint
there4 life won't put them 2 their breaking point

U C, what they don't understand
is, my King is a superman
& by my side He will stand
& hold my hand
& guide me 2 sane land

because every human has a breaking point
but, if they meet Jesus, @ His joint
they won't reach their breaking point.

Thorns

I’m starting to believe

that as a Christian to achieve

That zoe type of life

I must rival and strife

because Paul pleaded with God thrice

to remove that thorn in his flesh which tormented his life

But God said, “No.”

Why?  Perhaps to show

that the grace of God is sufficient for you

for in your weakness you are made perfect, which is true

the Bible does not state what affliction made Paul weak

But, because of this weakness God had to be constantly seeked

so I delight in insults

or hardship or persecution, that makes life difficult

for when I am weak I’m actually strong

and my need for God, my soul will long

He rains on the unjust and also the just

so in God’s consults I must trust

so I’m not just grateful

but also thankful

for these infirmities

‘cause they put a stamp on my heart that God I will always need

Sarafina and Randy on Your Wedding Day

I pray that God always wraps you in His loving arms,
and any loved ones Saraphina has back home that,
that generation, and the next generation, and the next generation,
will never succumb to harm.

I pray that God stretches out His mighty hand,
and not only bless you with children,
but with grands, and great-grands, and great-great-grands.

I pray that God always shows you favor, and favor isn't fair you see,
but I pray that He always shows favor to thee.

I pray that God's love would reach,
and bless Minister Randy with mighty words to preach.

I pray that the course that Sarafina's voice takes,
opens up heaven's floodgates and pours down blessings in the amount of
the Great Lakes.

I pray that God always keeps you,
and blesses you,
and protects you,
and favors you,
and loves you.

I pray that from you, raise up mighty warriors of God,
that stand for God,
and fight for God,
and screams, "Hallelujah," for God,
audibly loud!

I pray that my only plea would always be,
that God's grace upon thee would last an eternity.

Zoe

Zoe has heard
cause she knows God's word
that He will not allow a sparrow
to peril
Zoe knows Jehovah loves her more
than a mere bird

God confesses
that He dresses
the lilies of the field
He suits Zoe in ruffles
cause its in His will

He is Yahweh
the only way
and at His feet grace and mercy lay
Zoe is fearfully and wonderfully made
Her skin is the perfect shade

Zoe's eventual height
will be a testimony to God's wonderful might
Even Zoe's petite size
was given to her as a heavenly prize

God even blesses
Zoe's lovely blonde tresses
Because God said
that Zoe was fearfully and wonderfully made

My Tears

my tears are my joy
because of the boy
who became the man
who commanded such righteousness
that the devil's plan was destroyed

my tears are salted happiness
because of Mary's great sadness
that her son's actions
was the the most loving madness

my tears are streams of freedom
because of heaven's inhuman reasons expressed
through the one blessed
to steal the keys to satan's kingdom

my tears are tracks of praise
to the one raised
from the dead
that the devil fled
in a haste

my tears will never flow
in an amount that will show
that my decree
should be
eternity
in hell's inferno

my tears will never show
no matter how much they flow
to express
the amount of my happiness
because I see and I confess
because I know I am truly blessed

Ashes

ashes await such specimens of survival

soil and spirit mingled by Another

dirt in our wake

as we march together

of earth we are

as we kneel…dust upon dust

a frail finger of ash upon ash

marking me…

a touch felt in my depths

how is it

that such as we

reside in the heart of Love Itself?

Steve Hamilton

Look and see...

look and see
a way of life
and those that stand apart

the sweating crowd of non-conformists
a faceless mass of uniformity
the men of the west

a common gleam in every eye, a common fire in every breast
from each hand is formed a clenched symbol of our resolve
we will not be governed
we will not be taught
we will not be led

an anthem rises on every tongue
with a single voice we roar
I AM AN INDIVIDUAL

For those with ears to hear
a wisp of truth
only just beyond the grip of rebellious fists

a whisper that nears the paean of the crowd
yet could not be further from it
a revolt within

The Alpha

"Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free;
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee."

Charles Wesley

I know...

I know that you live, and I long to see you
I know that you speak, yet I long to hear you
I know that you are love, yet I long to feel it

Why must faith include so much blindness
God I long to love you, must love exist in the absence of passion?
Grant me a heart that is astir with flame

I have heard your voice, yet now you are silent, have you gone forever
Do not leave me to my fate, I cannot survive on my own
You have destroyed my ability to walk the path of blissful ignorance
I cannot replace the veil of this world, shielding my view of my purpose,
Yet, must I pursue your course without guidance, without your presence?

Has my right hand failed me? Where, O Lord, have you gone?
I am nothing, yet I know my place, I am a son of the Most High
My Father, how can I walk as a Son with no sense of your Spirit?

He

born blind; half human, half empty
blind to the Truth, blind to my own state of affairs
human yet missing even the knowing of something missing
a hole in my heart that only ached, not knowing it needed filling
a bleak picture of half a man, ever seeking, ever searching
ever running from the monster in the mirror
lost to myself, to the kingdom, to the King
lost to the King; my being cut out of existence


IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, THE WORD WAS LIGHT AND LIFE
HE CAME TO THE WORLD OF MEN, HE HAD CREATED IT
HE GAVE HIS LIGHT AND LIFE TO THE WORLD OF MEN
HE SPENT INFINITY GIVING HIMSELF TO THE WORLD OF MEN
THEY HAD TURNED FROM HIM, YET HE STILL GAVE LIGHT AND LIFE
TO THOSE WHO WOULD TURN BACK


ever seeking, yet somehow knowing,
the direction sought was not the one traveled
this life was producing Death, running to-and-fro and accomplishing nothing
beating the air with my fists, vain rebellious conformity to the world
searching roads that ought not be traveled, push past the warnings
now mired in the swamps, feeling Death
i knew i needed to extend a hand, to reach beyond myself
somehow to find the Truth beyond this world, to find Life, to have it live in me
only the hole in my heart ached now, stuffed with the Death i had filled it with
it was visible, the black oozing scar where a soul should be
and then i knew, i must reach beyond myself, to the only cure


THE WORD TOOK THE WORLD HE HAD CREATED, THE WORLD THAT HAD DENIED HIM
AND PLACED IT UPON HIS SHOULDERS, THE DEATH, REBELLION, HATRED, VILE...
HE TOOK UPON HIMSELF THE DEATH OF THE REBELLION WORLD
THE PLUNGING DAGGER OF VENOMOUS DECAY INTO HIS OWN BURNING BLEEDING HEART
THE WORD EMBRACED THE DEATH THAT WAS ELECTED BY HIS OWN CREATION, HE SWALLOWED IT WHOLE


AND DIED

THE UNIVERSE WENT OUT, INFINITY HAD ENDED, LIFE WAS DEAD, LIGHT WAS DARK
DEATH ITSELF, HEIR TRIUMPHANT, PRESUMED TO CLIMB THE THRONE
THE ACCUSER GLOATED, TAUNTING, VICTORY WON...


...YET DEATH COULD NOT KEEP IT’S HOLD UPON HIM!
THE AUTHOR OF LIFE, THOUGH DEAD, NOW LIVED!
FOR THE RESURRECTION-LIFE COULD NOT BE KEPT IN DEATH, THE WORD REIGNS
THE LIFE-LIGHT BLAZED OUT OF THE DARKNESS; THE DARKNESS COULDN’T PUT IT OUT



and the Word turned to me; He looked and He saw
He stretched out his Bleeding Hands; hands offering Life
He offered his Life; He offered to fill the hole where my heart should be
with his Bleeding Heart
and where once had been emptiness, was now The Life
and where once was crusted blackness and oozing decaying Death
now flowed the streams of Living Infinity



i have met the Word
the great Fountain of Life at the center of Infinity


HE LIVES WITHIN ME

original sin

he is a decent sort
but flawed
always so close
only to be brought down
holds the key to every door
yet has not realized his aim
somehow i think
he is not quite right put together
his antagonist is Himself

Partial Comfort

Whose love is given over-well
Shall look on Helen's face in hell,
Whilst they whose love is thin and wise,
May view John Knox in paradise.
