We have succumbed to Devil’s lie
And think we are like grass–
In daylight grows and then will die,
And all of it so fast.
But we have been mistaken here
For we forever live;
When we know this we shed our tears
And ask God to forgive.
For our hearts long to live with Him
Who sent His Son to us;
We’re born with Him in Bethlehem
Who sanctifies our dust.
Then we will on to glory go
As we are changed inside,
And ever after we will know—
In Him we all abide.
O Lord, make each a Noah now
As we begin anew;
Let us to Holy Spirit bow
And through Him worship You.
Each day may our own flood abate
And wash away our dross;
Then with your virtue satiate–
Renew what we thought lost.
May Ark of Church sail into dawn
As each day rises new,
And we know we to You belong–
As new as morning dew.
And when the time for each has come
To leave this earth behind,
May we know we’ve at last become
The one you’ve sought to find.
When Host is raised, I see a Burning Bush
In Spirit’s flame brings Him whom we consume,
Who in us will that serpent’s head now crush
And lift from hearts our Eve’s and Adam’s gloom.
With east wind comes to fan in us His flame
To light the world with heaven’s morning glow,
Began when with the Virgin’s “yes” He came
And brought to us Himself we all can know.
A fire within us purifies our hearts,
And conscience, reason in our image raised–
Were there in His creation from the start–
As old becomes a new creation saved.
He comes within the Host we now adore
With Father and His Spirit in fire poured.
Your light with darkness will not mix,
For darkness is the Devil’s brew;
He tries on us his hellish tricks,
Prefers his gloomy, greyish stew.
Then we succumb to tempter’s voice
And fall into his greyish goo;
Damnation is our freedom’s choice–
Find we’re enslaved and choice we rue.
But Jesus comes and we can choose
His Cross to kill our sinful life;
His new life comes when life we lose,
And we see dawn brings us new light.
Now darkness in us fades away,
As light comes down and bids us rise;
For Jesus is for us the way
To Eden New, our paradise.
O Lord, come walk within my soul
And change me from the inside out,
That soul and body may be whole,
And I am one within, without.
May I not lack a living guide
Who lights my way each step by step,
Communes with me down deep inside,
Awakens virtue that had slept.
Through eyes are yours may I see truth
Unites me with your world around,
Perceive in me your timeless proof
That grace around us all abounds.
And when that time to all us comes
To walk with you through Heaven’s gate,
May I find that I have become
The one for whom our Father waits.
Lord, kill in me those prophets false;
I’m on Elijah’s side.
Baal prophets in me contest lost;
They cross that great divide.
Then through their deaths release in me
Your Spirit’s prophet gift,
That with Elisha I may see
Elijah’s chariot lift.
Come, speak through me your prophet’s word,
Through Resurrection known;
Slay Satan with your sure swift sword,
By Spirit’s breath that’s blown.
O, let me speak your charity
For all the world you made;
Your clarity world needs to see
Brought by your Spirit’s blade.
Come, cut us all right to the quick
And show us Natural Law;
Was there before sin made us sick,
As all the prophets saw.
Now birth again that Law you gave
By your Creator’s Word;
In that New Birth your world you save
through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Give all baptized your prophet gift
That with Elijah we
May chariot ride to heaven, lift
All Eden there to thee.
Lord, burn in us your own incense,
And breathe o’er all the earth
Aroma of your recompense
Through our Messiah’s birth.
May your aroma cover earth
As we, your censer, swing.
Come, burn our hearts on heaven’s hearth,
From chariot we sing.
For we all take Elijah’s side,
Our false gods doomed to fail;
With him to heaven, we now ride,
Forsaken all our baals.
From chariot your incense pours,
That chariot called Church.
You’re healing all our Lazarus sores;
We throw away earth’s crutch,
Join Abraham and Lazarus
By heaven’s cooling stream.
The same aroma comes to us
That we knew in earth’s dream.
All earth now is your incense pot,
We all breathe heaven’s air;
No longer are creation’s blot–
All rise to heaven fair.
Our sins and Satan both now choke
On our aroma sweet;
Aroma is salvation’s cloak,
As round your throne we meet.
This willful anger in my heart now tears
The hearts of others who for me so care;
But heart of mine is captured by that snare
Of Satan who lured me into his lair.
To enter lair was my free choice to make
At first, but now that habit deep within,
Beyond my power by my choice to break,
For I am now a slave to that vile sin.
My being held together by that hate-
Infected heart, which Cross alone can clean,
Make new again; I hope it’s not too late
To call on Him to me from anger wean.
Come, Jesus, nurse me on your one True Vine;
Make my heart clean by your true Blood-Red Wine
Lord, open heaven, please come tear
That curtain, Spirit pour;
Send Noah’s Dove to all us here,
As Father we adore.
Come, make us one with your One Son;
We’re baptized in His Blood.
That Blood with Spirit’s waters one;
We’re plunged beneath that flood.
Wash all of us o’re this good earth
With all Your Spirit’s gifts;
May earth now know your joy, new birth,
As sin from Eden lifts.
We cling to you, your passion share,
You die on Cross within.
On our old bodies your marks bare;
they make us free from sin.
We lay with you in your dark grave,
Now wrapped in swaddling clothes.
We rise with you, from our sin saved–
We bloom like Sharon’s Rose.
Now, grafted into your True Vine,
Your Body here below.
Through us to earth flows Blood-Red Wine–
Now all salvation know.
Then like Elijah we all ride
On chariot we’re driv’n,
With Mary, meet at Jesus’ side,
Ride Spirit’s Ark to heav’n.
We praise you, Lord, in many tongues
But all in Jesus’ name;
You climb down Jacob’s ladder’s rungs:
To all of us you came.
A special word to each one speaks,
Strikes deep within each chest,
And strengthens every heart that’s weak
To bring forth all God’s best.
Your image once defiled by Eve
Passed down through human race,
Through Mary’s “yes” we, too, receive
Begotten’s sinless face.
For in each face we all now see
Our Savior looking back–
A person for eternity
And each will nothing lack.
Each person an unequaled branch
Sprouts from Christ’s living Vine,
Wound all together in His Church–
All drink His Bloody Wine.
And when we wake from Jacob’s dream,
God’s angels still are there,
For we have crossed that Jordan stream,
And we breathe heaven’s air.
PROCLAIMING TRUTH!
