JESUS

Your name is our prayer,
Our hope
Our escape from despair
Our fortress strong

Clothing ourselves
With Your righteousness
We dress
In mighty armor of God

Only then can we walk
As we go forth
To Jesus talk
In our Jerusalem

We fail
And often times
We flail
BUT JESUS

Only with You
Our flesh has bones
And we can stand
Your strength coming through

And we owe it all
To You
Our life a debt
To only You.


Without Jesus

Why do hopes fly
At such a height and speed
That their sonic boom
Is always too late
For them to hear
And too far behind
To make a difference?


Blind

Blind is mankind
Who worships the created
More than the Creator

Blind is man
Who loves himself or another
More than the Father of the universe.


Hopelessness II

Sometimes I wonder if I'm looking for Christmas
Not realizing that December 25th
Has been erased
From the calendar
For the rest of my life.
