WATER, WIND, AND FIRE

The water poured on us is Spirit-filled,
And we drink life from Jesus’ empty tomb,
For on His Cross our sinful self is killed,
And from this fount we’re born from Church’s womb.

O’er all the world now blows His Spirit’s wind
From Father, sweeps away all Satan’s guile,
And all the earth through Him is born again–
Forever now is free from Satan’s wiles.

His Spirit’s fire away burns Satan’s lair,
Yet Eden by His flame is not consumed–
Becomes again His heaven’s garden fair
Where heaven’s life on earth is now resumed.

His water, wind, and fire bring life anew
Through Son who’s born of Woman dressed in blue. 

BURN AWAY MY UNBELIEF

Come, Jesus, breathe your fire in me
To burn away my unbelief,
That faith within I clearly see
And know my unbelief’s a thief.

For Devil in me sows his seeds
To grow in me his lack of faith
And turn away from Him who bleeds–
Make me believe in Devil’s hate.

Yet fire within me brings His light
To see that hate is ill conceived—
Cannot stand up to our Lord’s might
And will no longer me deceive.

My unbelief in me is burned
And never will exist again;
No longer will I Jesus spurn
Whose Spirit’s fire burns up my sin. 

BODY AND BLOOD

Your Body, Blood are offered for us Lord
That we may eat and drink your charity,
As with our body, blood, we You adore.

For You tie us to You with crimson cord—
We in your priesthood share humility—
Your Body, Blood, are offered for us Lord.

A victim we become as Your life poured—
In heart of each Your sacrifice can see—
As with our body, blood, we You adore.

Our sacrifice for You is spirits poor
That others see You with more clarity—
Your Body, Blood are offered for us Lord.

Through us Your Spirit for the world will soar
To fill the world with Holy Trinity,
As with our body, blood, we You adore.

Your hand in us takes up Your Spirit’s sword,
And we become who we are meant to be—
Your Body, Blood are offered for us Lord,
As with our body, blood, we You adore. 

RED AND BLUE UNITE

In dark of night we see a star—
A Cross of Light in our dark sky—
And see three wise who’ve travelled far
To see the One in manger lies.

This starry Cross a prophecy
Of where this Baby will be raised
To draw to Him all who can see
By wisdom’s light and give Him praise.

Our Father’s wisdom in Him seen
To all creation now renew;
Begins with Mother who’s His Queen
As bright star-light bathes her in blue.

Her blue unites with His Blood red
In purple lighted by Star-Cross
To rise in Him they all thought dead
In dawn where star-light is not lost. 

THREE WISE MEN

In manger they find One they seek:
Were led by Star to place He lay;
All earth is His who for us meek
Among us lies on earthly hay.

This day see heaven come to earth
To take earth back to heaven’s home
And give creation His new birth—
Three wise tell all to Him should come.

For wisdom has revealed Him now,
For she’s the wisest one of all;
Those three before His cradle bow
At altar made from cattle stall.

Together we to stable go
And plight our troth to Him there lies,
For secrets we all long to know
Reside in manger, make us wise. 

THE LORD’S SOLDIERS

Let virtues be my watchmen at the gate
To dangers of my vices early spy,
That I may at the last escape the fate
Of those on earth who fall for Satan’s lie.
May I surrender to the Lord of Hosts,
Whose soldiers are those virtues in my heart,
And I will never of my own strength boast
For I know virtues are His to impart.
On world outside the gate my virtues gaze
And see beyond our sin, redemption there,
As Spirit blows away the Devil’s haze,
Reveals the earth is heaven’s portal here.
May virtues always here His soldier’s be
To take me with Him to eternity.

OUR LIFE COMPLETE

We yearn for life to be complete
With sin forever wiped away,
And virtues in us are replete
As dawn breaks on an endless day.

That longing is for Him alone,
For only He can make us right
And for our sin on Cross atone–
Remove from us the Devil’s blight.

Come, Holy Spirit, with us soar
With Virgin Mother to His side
Where we all come with spirit’s poor
And riches find when we abide.

He then completes our life, earth-born,
But destined to in heaven live,
And all our sin by Cross is shorn,
As we have learned He us forgives.

WISDOM OF THE COMMON FOLK

In three the wisdom of all people found,
Known by the common folk in every age,
Who will not by the enemy be bound
But seek escape from sin, the Devil’s cage.
In every age, we in old Adam’s line
Embrace the One from Abraham comes down
Through Jesse’s root and David–will now find
The One earth’s thorns will wear as kingly crown.
He’s nestled now all snug in Mother’s arms,
Watched over by her husband, sees their star,
And knows these three come not to do Him harm
But worship Him for all who’re near and far.
The wisdom of these three we all receive;
By fallen one no longer are deceived. 

ROSE AND LILY

A Rose’s Bud is born in Bethlehem
From Lily who to Gabriel said “yes,”
And all are grafted to this Bud’s new stem
Who’s born this day to all creation bless.
His Rose, her Lily will forever be
Our Father’s Word and one who Him receives
For all who yearn to live in heaven free
From sin and lies of one comes to deceive.
Our “yes” joins hers who for us shows the way
To Him, the Way, who to the Father leads,
Who will through Son in us have final say,
As He in us will rise, who for us bleeds.
His Rose with Lily’s nature won’t stay dead;
With Rose’s blood at table we are fed.
