Capitan of My Soul and other poems

Captain of my Soul - 2019-03-10 - Matt 8-9; Mark 2

Captain, this storm has now transformed  

Scared of this snow, hail and firestorm.  

Dare I say peace is on my lips  

More it is in my heart, it never skips.

  

Heard these words, forgiven I am.  

Take up my crutches, there is no sham.  

I hear His words are meant for all  

forgiveness and love will stop the fall.

Lighten the Burdens - 2019-03-17 - Matt10-12; Mark2; Luke7,11  

Heard and saw the sounds of healing  

once was blind, removed concealing.

Do you carry burdens en route  

waning wantings for any fruit.

  

Righteous persistence in our prayers  

Many sins forgiven to who cares.

Friend at midnight asked for a cup  

Do you open up and give it up?

Instruct Us and Heal Us - 2019-04-14 - Matt16-17; Mark8-9; Luke9

The Rock reveals all that we hear

The keys of the kingdom are here

Contact constant with He who heals

Never look back, always His ideals

Where can one satisfy hunger

Blessed bread more than i can wonder

Stand fast and say I do believe

Mountains removed your faith perceive

A Better Life

 Poem A Better Life 2023-02-19 Matt5 Luke6

I come home from the mount, with what I felt.

Writing down notes of what the Master said.

Render me humble, with needs in my head.

Comfort comes from when humble and have knelt

Be gentle, patient, tolerant and kind.

Show true meekness and never prideful.

Seek to know more of Him it's delightful.

Mercy shown for all, a reward you'll find.

Eliminate the impure from your heart

Push out that which truly does not belong

Love everyone, in harmony lives all.

Be as the salt of the earth is a start.

Reflect covenants in my life is strong.

In darkest of places, shine my light tall.

Listen to my thoughts that lead to action

Start early, choose not to anger, nor shout

Cast it out, Pluck it out, remove it out.

watch out for this path leads to infraction.

Climbing ladder higher will make you smart

Make it holier in your head is not wrong.

Make this divine connection, you stand tall.

My ears struck by the strength of force

in his words will help me endorse.

Break undone my imperfect ways

climb, reach, rise to perfect all days.

Pure hearts not tainted nor spoiled.

Humble and righteous are employed.

Love for all no matter the ire

Take out the beam and inspire.

I Spoke with the Rabbi

 I spoke with the Rabbi 2023-02-12  John 2-4

Honey, My love, I spoke with the Rabbi.
Spiritually begotten children can
Lift our eyes that we see that Son of Man.
I should be born again before I die.

Aside the well the Rabbi talked to me.
For that Messias that we've heard spoken of
Has come, He's here, my heart awoke with love.
He has living water, I do decree.

Born of the Spirit filled us to the brim.
The spirit lifts us without ev'n a crumb.
Life returned though almost gone is the sign.

Yes we can now see the wind yes it's him.
Our eyes and hearts are open with help from
Those miracles when turned water to wine.

Aside Jacob's well I feel strange
My soul parched crying out for change
Sip, Swig, Swallow living water    
my heart & mind follow order

Effects are felt, Yet no wind seen
Born of Spirit, actions are clean
Act on truth and come to the light
Your daily deeds from God made right

What Seek Ye?

 What seek ye? 2023-01-21 John 1

Th

e witness I heard that talked of the Light.

Which came to this world from which came the spark.

This Light was that Word from celestial height.

The teacher to bring us out of the dark.

Come my brother I have seen, I have heard

The Man he's called Jesus, Messiah he is.

You'll want to stay with him. It's much preferred.

Heaven will open and he's such the whiz.

Yep it's him in all fullness gained by grace.

See the Father declare him in his place.

Wax Strong

 Wax Strong 2023-01-20   Matt2 Luke2

Prophetic promises have now appeared.

Read the scriptures and look for the sign.

A vision or a dream just might seem weird.

Yet it can also show you truth divine.

The Birth, The Visit, all prophecies seen

Mary took note and remembered it all.

She taught him to be inclined, not unclean.

He then followed 'til he answered the call.

Wisdom He gained as he grew grace to grace

Christ learned it all at a higher pace.

Promised encounter that will thrills.

For one who heard it still fulfills.

Serve in the temple til the day

Saving and solace will display.

For born that day in one accord,

Our Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

Many sought him through the ages

We still seek him through the pages.

Giving Hope To All

 Poem Giving Hope to All 2023-01-21

Being told that you'd help bring a new life.

The Savior, Emmanuel, Who can you tell?

your cousin, even if your not a wife.

Blessed be me for this, who could fortell?

A visit from my cousin, I shall agree

A blessing she is, never to be undone.

So young and humble to be called as she.

Only to magnify the Lord, Mother like son.

Both be blessed through all generation

Hope, mercy and strength to the great nation.

Seek the Sower of the Word

 Poem Seek the sower of the word 2023-01-01   Introduction to the New Testament

A sower of the word spoke to my face.

Was given to me as if I was there.

There are seeds that are thrown in every place.

You'll find them on the ground or in the air.

With a destiny to grow big and strong,

Beware for the hungry fowls will steal them.

Help and nourish, even sing it in song.

Allow the roots to grow and reach each stem.

This fruit will multiply one hundred fold

and Yes it is well worth its weight in gold.

Previous Poem   2019-01-06  Sower of the Word

A sower am I said he

Seeds go every where to be.

Be aware at the top of trees

Fowls await to eat two or three.

A seed can grow but if no root

Will be stolen by a brute.

A seed choked will not be fruitful

Thorns and weeds are not truthful.

Good ground seek forth and nurture strong

Fruit I seek and it isn't wrong.

This fruit will multiply one hundred fold

and it is well worth its weight in gold.

Isaiah

 Isaiah first half

Wash you clean

Make you clean

Put away those evil things

Learn to do

Seek to do

Make the right things you shall too

To be hated and persecuted is my fate?

 To be  hated and persecuted is my fate?

Can you be blessed serving the Lord

Remain faithful with blessings stored?

God's candle will shine on your head

To walk through darkness ahead.

Regarded and beloved by all

securely rooted and growing tall.

The Lord gives and could even take

But never my faith will be fake.

Faultless faith with morals intact

with boils or cancer, there's impact.

If this happens once, you be brave

For after the initial wave,

Be ready for it comes in twos,

Or even more could cause the blues.

Might happen you sin with your lips?

Complain along your daily trips?

Lose it all is a rarity

Your wealth, health and posterity.

With such negating blows you'd think

You'd complain, why me do I stink?

Even your deepest need is drowned

Family and friends aren't found

With the love of his life forlorn

You would think his faith would be torn.

With death circling near his desire.

Does your actions to Lord conspire?

In complete harmony and not distract

Under intense stress with integrity intact.

A moral story for all to adhere

For all a moral story sticks

If the Lord's in your bag of tricks.

To whom do you refer

Arrive safe with much to go around

Don't forget how you became crowned

From our fathers came the Lord's promise.

It's better when being honest.

Remember Who

Serpents bit with intent to kill.

Tongues dried up, no water to spill.

Your stomach growled no food to fill.

'Twas your power or your own will.

You lift your eyes to heal your limb.

Fill your water glass to the rim.

With manna your filled to the brim.

You did learn it was all through Him.

My Israelite Song

The Lord is there for my fight.

That he will heal me with his might.

His Spirit to guide me to feel full.

Be among us with each spoonfull.

What ever comes we will prevail

Deliver us in all detail.

It's Yours to Choose

It's yours to choose to do what is right.
Never had plans to force or smite.
This key gift is part of the plan,
by choosing to become more than.

More than just  one that's well behaved
More than what the devil's plan craved.
More than ever your heart desired
More than you just feeling inspired.

The Father's plan was crystal clear.
Yet two different paths we did hear.
Forced to do it only one way
Or allow us to choose what may.

Imagine how we'd be alive

Forced to do the right like a hive.

Sure would be great without a test

No failures to fear, yet could we rest?

Can we know sweet without bitter

Is what Eve would have sent on twitter.

For Adam  never knew and chose

to disobey and now he knows.

Better understand Adam's fall

Will help know Christ's part is not small.

His atonement is key to aid,

Us all to become better made.

And Then There Was Light

Let there be light. For God is Light,
From which came the Word to ignight,
All things on this earth, they gave life.
Organized all better than rife.

Man's made in the makers image,
Where living souls form a package.
Then took his time, a sacred time.
To lift our gaze to all sublime.
