Poem: Deep Within Me
Long ago my Lord, I desired…
to share myself with You completely.
Under Your everlasting covenant,
You etched Your message of Love
upon my open and tender heart.
Now I radiate with joy and knowledge
from having Your Principles imprinted
on my life and mind's thinking.
As I'm steadfast on Your firm foundation,
continue to enhance our relationship.
Cleanse me from the impurities that stain,
as You have previously promised.
Show me how to find and seek…
the righteousness of Your Kingdom
for myself and others.
From embracing the ideal of dying to self,
Your spiritual seed of faith
exploded abundantly inside my spirit,
since it was planted… deep within me!

Poem: God Ordained Trials
Learn from Apostle Paul's and Job's life lessons,
for faith's gold will be tested and purified;
tribulations are faced by God's daughters and sons,
but only through Christ - can one be justified.
The troubles of the day will eventually find us;
but will you be prepared by the principles of Love?
Remember the divine words of the Lord Christ Jesus
and draw strength from His righteous Kingdom above.
The rain falls on both the Just and Unjust;
so you might as well expect to get wet;
develop an atmosphere of faith and in Him trust;
live your life transparently without regrets.
So open your spiritual eyes and plan ahead;
develop a Godly relationship that's versatile,
knowing your faith will be surely tested
with the experiences of… God ordained trials.

Poem: No Separation with Salvation
Nothing… that occurs within our daily lives,
despite the endless flow of pain and sorrow,
will separate us from the eternal love of God,
regardless of events - be it today or tomorrow.
For the solitary accomplishment of Christ
has bridged the chasm of sin's spiritual gap;
therefore, to Him we all must willing turn.
He alone is the True Vine, in which we must tap.
Apart from our Lord and His sacred principles,
our odds of living a successful life may not endure;
learn to accept and recognize that He solely is…
the Great Physician and our Divine Cure.
Our appointed time to die waits for us,
since the wages of sin will always be death;
receive the everlasting gift of Salvation,
knowing that we came to life… from God's breath.

Poem: Called To Worship (III)
As a Child of God, you're blessed with favor,
since you're a joint-heir with our Savior.
Don't be ‘eaten up' with unending discontent;
know that He has promised to keep His covenant!
So regardless of the latest, spiritual deluge,
in the Lord, you'll always find safety and refuge.
Relief for your earthly suffering is coming,
provided to Him your heart-felt requests you bring.
Despite your painful past, your joy can be restored
when you humbly seek… the face of our blessed Lord.
Call unto Him now for your divine deliverance;
realize that His grace was already given in advance.
Allow Him to be your guide and inspiration;
be sure and be counted within His holy nation.
Love the Lord boldly without any restraints,
for His glory and purpose have no constraint.
So open your mouth and choose to loudly sing;
allow your praises for Christ to freely ring.
Faith is not an experience that can be skipped;
know that you are still… called to worship!

Poem: Transforming Power
The foolishness of Jehovah is…
wiser than the intellect of Mankind.
The overwhelming evidence is available,
by examining the thoughts of His mind.
Some may ask: “How is that possible? ”
By reading and studying His Holy Word.
The Scriptures were divinely inspired
and in the hearts of men were stirred.
Love conquers all, from the “inside out”,
by the piercing of the human heart.
For Love requires deliberate action
and not interpretations of a star chart.
The challenges of life are before us;
Principles and truths can be our strong tower.
Victories are promised when we chose…
to unleash God’s transforming power.

Poem: Divine Possibilities
Although Jehovah can never be contained,
with me, a portion of His presence can remain…
since I've placed an altar to Him in my heart.
Having desired an ongoing holy communion,
I've embraced my Lord in a spiritual union,
knowing my life is one… of His works of art.
While blurring church divisional boundaries,
I choose to focus on God's heavenly guarantees
and enjoy the abundance of His provision.
From recalling "greater is Him who is in me",
I can't help but see "divine possibilities",
when daring to imagine a life of Godly vision.
So now, I bravely go forth with boldness,
as a temple covered by Christ's righteousness,
leading spiritual seekers… from their wilderness.

By His grace, we are wonderfully saved;

Through Salvation's gift, our sins are waived

Faith doesn't spring from human nature,
nor is it something that we can nurture.
In His efficacious grace, we can be sure -
for Truth is borne out, within the Scriptures.

Chaff Removal
Oh my Lord, once again I’m before you,
begging that You sift my heart.
Insure the chaff of my life is blown away,
while allowing the kernels of Your truth
to be planted in me, for the purpose of bearing…
spiritual fruit that delights You.
The door of my heart has been unhinged;
You may enter my threshing mill anytime –
even if You need to wake me.
Lift me up and shake me without ceasing,
until the day I’m stored in Your granary.

Help me Lord to focus solely on Thee!
Issues and challenges of Life come and go,
defining me with my soul's scarred essence.
Yet I remain, beneath Your heavenly flow!
Allow Your Presence to wash over me,
removing all evidence of sins' stains.
Continue breaking the ungodly links of…
the remnant of shackling, prisoner chains.
Open my eyes fully that I may see
the way You view me within Your Kingdom.
Let this divine, flooding confidence

Although Salvation, to me, was free;
I humbly acknowledge my Christ's pain.
Now the force of faith surges within me,
while knowing that… it can never be feigned!

Poem: Hearts and Hands
In times of earthly trouble,
placing our heads in our hands,
accomplishes nothing; instead…
we need to lift up our hearts and hands.
For in surrendering our issues to Him,
we start to see the solutions we need.
Applying Godly answers becomes much easier,
when to the Holy Scriptures we heed.
For our heavenly Father loves us,
and He wants us to pray openly;
such an opportunity allows us
to display our faith vigorously.
He is who He says He is
and not a man that He should lie;
from having a true relationship,
we know that on Him… we can rely!

Circumcise my sinful heart completely,

As a Child of promise with sober reflection,
allow me to share Your anguish for the lost.
Wash over me with the wisdom to persevere,

Poem: Inward and Outward Man
Although I don't have a split personality,
it's certainly interesting to see a new way
of looking at myself… in terms of duality.
I seem to be in conflict with God's plan,
dealing with struggles of an imbalanced stand
that occurs between my inward and outward man.
Even though my outward man is perishing,
the unseen inward man is under a daily renewing -
provided The Word, I'm still consuming.
Therefore, with the knowledge I've heard
and an attitude that's Holy Ghost stirred,
I'll continue to move forward… undeterred.
So help me Lord remain in unity with thee;
allow me to become the great man You see
and accomplish Your purpose… that's laid out for me.

Poem: Secrets Will Be Revealed
Become a spiritual light upon a hill, with faith
that does not flicker or become extinguished.
Let your life shine, thereby allowing the God-colors
within your life to draw others to Christ.
There is no hiding from Jehovah; why even try?
The Lord is not a man, that He should lie!
Learn to naturally avoid all forms of evil
and shun potential occurrences of spiritual upheaval.
Light always pierces and scatters the darkness.
Light some candles; cursing the shadows
accomplishes nothing meaningful or useful.
Cast off any works or semblances of darkness.
There is no hiding from Jehovah; why even try?
The Lord is not a man, that He should lie!
For His holy wisdom provides solutions with clarity;
embrace Him and His principles and finally see…
Darkness is more than obscurity; it shows lack;
it demonstrates the absence of Truth and Light.
Hidden things will ultimately be revealed,
before our righteous Lord and His Kingdom.

Poem: Golden Rule
I’m gently reminded of an old lesson,
that takes me back to Sunday School;
something, we’ve seem to have forgotten,
is living by the Bible’s “golden rule”.
For walking in God’s, true Love
towards others is always fashionable.
Remember! He has promised us strength
to operate under His “Christian label”.
When abiding by the principles of His Word,
we are able to treat others properly.
Desiring to be our brother’s keeper,
should assist us to more easily see…
faith’s operation within our lives.
Actions demonstrate what we believe;
so do what is right, because of the…
Love that we, have already received.
A real consequence of doing good,
is that our souls naturally profit;
know that you’ve lived a Godly life,
by honoring the Law and His prophets.
