Poetry

I saw his back today
There were the scars
I saw the flesh
Of who made the stars

Watch and imitate
The tactics of glory
That’s why His Book
Is so full of story

Are you unwelcome
Into the company of the scrupulous
The respectable absolutes
Whose obedience is meticulous

Maggots in the manna
Maggots in the soul
Gathering more than enough
Makes you less than whole

Too easy giving from our much
But giving from your need
From faith there is substance
Plenty comes from seed

Is your bowl empty
No oil in your pot
Gathering more than you need
Turns rotten what was not

If you got more in the moment
Share what you can’t keep
And spend all you lost
And His presence always keep

More’s never enough
Plenty is today
Just a little goes the far
That is how to pray

Who do I praise
Who do I scorn
I gots these here burning coals
But I have a duty to warn

Success to slavery
Prosperity to despair
Got cats and dog
But I double dog dare

Be a Glory Bearer
Here’s your eagles wing ride
Be of the Kingdom of priests
Order some fries on the side

Is there writing on your heart
Just who are your people
Open your hands
And quit pointing with your steeple

Oh look, it’s the Sunrise
Who would have thoughts
Just of whom were you thinking
About the Haves and or have-nots

Have you saddled the high horse
A boaster become beast
Once angel now devil
The vulture’s feast

Is there shadow before you
An arrow eyes your heart
Saddled fate sealed
Lost from the start

Full of rich dreams
Got a ticket to the show
Flaming poppies of deceit
In lying afterglow

Shun such prides
As serpent lairs
Watchman be faithful
To proclaim bewares

That high horse is low
Only graves in it’s sight
Barns full of bones
Nostril breath of night

Oh but look up to the Dawn
There, is the Truth Sword
He that glorieth
Let him glory in the Lord

Well, I heard that sound goes forth
Existing only when it goes out of existence
Funny how we think we know
So little with such persistence

Is God’s Word perishable?
Is it just finite and lost?
Is that price that’s been paid
Just a recurring revolving cost?

Well, I beg to disagree
I beg for you as well
There’s lots for eternity
Including a place called hell

Now God’s Word be spoken
It is resonating across time
Ready for you to hear
Even within some corny rhyme

I’d hope you’d listen
I’m hoping you’ll take heed
There’s One who went before us
His blood for you did bleed

Now the sound of His pain and agony
Was enough for all creation to hear
Groaning in anticipation
Oh His victory…it’s so very very near!

So let His Word come in
The change needed in you is real
There’s a sound of Glory that moment within
When His Spirit in you is sealed

Are you still dead?
What are you waiting for
A text from Jesus
Or something even more?

Hello!?!
Ears full of need
Dilated and glazed
The blind made to see

Now here’s a shock
Your breath is not your own
Take with thanksgiving
New flesh on dusty bone

The jump start of mercy
Comes in the right now
If you roll over in decay
Your knee will someday bow

Better choice here
Later is too late
Aren’t you ready for Jesus
He’ll set you a plate

Be found seated and hopeful
No broken meat at this table
Only sweetest fare
For those who were unable

There will be no lacking
See all is provided
Even robes of righteousness
For those who were frightened

You know who you are
We who were indicted
Lost and alone
But then we were invited

To the banquet of Mercy
Seated By Grace
Should be still dead in the grave
But because He took our place

We may feast together
No lacking will be found
Hear those voices of Glory
They’re the Redemption song!

Holy Holy Holy!
To Him be all Glory and Praise
Enjoy His banquet of mercy
And worship The Ancient Of Days!

Oh…
To be in perfecting fellowship
About Your business
Overflowing Your ultimate will
Administering Your Provisional

Ravishing the works of the Devil
Assailing the very gates of Hell
Working Your works of Glory
From both the within and without

Full
Overflowing
Being
Going

I’m asking pretty big
