Songs from Haiti

Songs from Haiti
Streets of concrete tremble above the faults.
Bringing destruction where they shake.
Dark sayings that rush to God
And save many in time to save more.
Rains wash away the dust from weary feet
That run to help with no sleep.

Life springs from those who
Look for a brother or sister in the rubble.
Songs of many rise to His Throne
Sang by some who don’t know
Who to call upon.
But Father is kind and loves to be asked.
So He answers with a yes.

Mass "A Poem"

Mass "A Poem"

Where is the Father?
When He is needed.
The utmost respect
Should be given to the Holy Spirit.
Even though awe is passed on to Jesus.
That's what I was told.

Where is the Father?
He is seated next to Jesus.
Oh, By the Way (selah),
He is needed.
I heard that from the Vine.

But I am not even aware
Of my own filth but He is.
So give Him your sins
And come to yourself.
Go back to the Father.

In exchange for your dirt,
He will give you a robe of righteousness.
And a seal of good credit in heaven.
That's what I was told.
Who told me?
The Father.
In Jesus name.

What is Truth?
He is not a What but He uses Whats
To get a point across.
The point is He loves
To show us how to love others.
Who showed me?
The Father.

When you don't love you hate
So learn to Love
From Love Himself,
Or drown in your own ideas.

Going swimming in philosophies of men
is not recommended.
The waters are crowded.
Some people who don't have any hope
And don't want to live
Will bring you down with them.

Some you have to let save themselves.
Not speaking of the hurting
But those who inflict hurt on purpose.
Who told me?
The Father
After He pulled me out of that ocean.

If you see a man drowning in sins
He is unaware of and don't tell him.
Do you Love? 1 Corinthians 13
Just a question?

Black veils with Allah in mind
Broken hearts because they do not find
Peace in his dress.
Just commands that keep the flesh in line.
But there is power in his hand
Cloaked in the Law
To shake the hearts of men
From the cares of a bitter world
That search for him within.

Wanting to wash hidden shame away.
A burning desire to forget sins
We have sinned against Him,
Causing our hearts to decay.
We fall into a suit of fig leaves.
Awake to a paradise of Allah's dream.
Awake to a new Adam or new eaves.
Awake to a new Euphrates that winds down from the throne.

God does Love and the Creator has made
New pathways to bless man.
As we gather to receive blessings on His terms.
Expect to see His Vision
Not get something else rather than.

We persuade at our own risk
Justified in our asking because He says yes.
Peace from promises older than most.
There in lies the arm of the LORD.
Assurance in His character
To second what He has declared
In the courts of heaven and of men.

Persecution because of what has been said
In our Holy Book the Bible.
Jesus in our stead.
