Caughting up

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

Though dogs partake in the meal of life

Reserved for the dwellers of the kingdom

In hearts they are circumcised with God

As by grace, they are saved through faith.

Not with works we’re counted in heaven

But by our mark of baptism and Spirit

With concern for souls made as prodigal

Who fill their maws and had taste of dusk.

We’re going to a meeting in the air then

In rapture, we’ll be caught up with God

Who desires our salvation watching us?

He is excited then of our effort to the end.

Let us not be sleepy but in wake we build

Our strength as we wait for the bridegroom

To open doors as virgins light their lamps

And sustain through the passing of time.

It’s not late to make amends, there repent

For through this we pave way for journey

The King rush then with sword and sickle

Paving the way towards triumph in heaven.

Endurance

Monday, September 10th, 2007

Pour out aches ever freely renewed

As our strong factor surface mighty

Blames are passed to not one in dark

As we share our love for each other.

 

Don’t let gloom overshadow you then

Even in someone’s demise are strong

Revived we had been renewed whole

In resurrection, we’re all triumphant.

 

Don’t hurt but be a friend to comfort

Lift up the soul and be not wandering

We’re all willing to share with each

Desire the impossible with God sow.

 

We’re all now heading to this wonder

How our efforts are counted so well

Our hearts burn concern to each one

Hand in hand let our link be satisfied.

 

Not one is left behind to travel alone

We delight with the presence of each

Together are awakened though tearful

We survive the test of our endurance.
