Righteousness from heaven
From eternity, a cross was planted for man. Hung the Glory of God, the Rose Of Sharon.
Righteousness looked from heaven, Faithfulness was entombed . He sprung out from the grave, free access ensued.
His throne is so holy; I am mute from sin, With coals on my tongue, I dare not offend.
But the ridicule from the proud and their contempt for sin. Drive me to my knees so that I may enter in.
They have no fear of God before their eyes, They flatter themselves to much to hate their lies.
Keep my feet from their wicked conspiracy, So that I may live a life of tranquility.
We made idols of men out of our kin, Now our deistic ways, brings a hardening in sin.
It is our nation’s godlessness, like Adams great sin, That we have permissive sons, and dead babies within.
Now they are present in the fiery pit of hell, An eternal punishment in which they fell.
O Lord, Your love reaches to the heavens. It’s a spring in my heart, the Holy Spirit given.
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains. It’s a heavenly gift applied for my salvation.
Your justice is like the great deep, So my sinful heart can find relief.
O Great Shepherd Of the Church, Complete in us Your work.
Our nation is full of shame and sin. Come Holy Spirit and revive us again.

The God of all glory created us as a being.
The God of all glory created us as a being. He exists in eternity as the Sovereign Trinity.
His eternal breath made man an eternal soul. He made man in His image to make him transcendently whole.
God made mans soul with mind, will, and emotions, He enjoyed a peaceful unity, void of any commotion.
But the soul’s peaceful existence was interrupted, When the body of sin entered, all its faculties were corrupted.
The mind, will, and emotions, were thrown into sins prison, To appear before The Sovereign Judge for His final decision.
The heavenly soul’s existence was cast away, Now hells eternal fury put the soul in dismay.
A created eternal being became encaged. His mind now darkened, his will in bondage, his emotions took center stage.
On the surface of his being, his emotions were unbridled, But the mind took control; its darkened depths were unrivaled.
His emotions only clouded the depth of salvations plea. The darkened mind perceived the raw data and not the Trinity.
With the soul in jeopardy it made a willing plea, For the souls will is the most attractive of the three.
The soul wills to be set free, but only by works you see. For self will blinds the soul of making Christ its only plea,
Its self dominance that leaves the soul in an unhappy state, For it is faith in Gods grace, the mind must embrace.
For my mind has always been in the Potters hand. Every thought is molded according to His sovereign plan.
A willing to do right is a freedom in my soul. For I have freedom to depend on the Holy Spirits control.
And, O the sweet emotions that are now my minds pleasure! They inflame my soul with life, for His good pleasure.
O Holy Spirit, who hovers over creation, Illuminate my soul’s desires for your work in my salvation.

0 Lord of Light
0 Lord of Light, we look to you. Your love comes forth so strong and true. Come, Holy Spirit, like heavenly dew, And fill our hearts, with Your love anew.
O how long, O Heavenly Redeemer? How long, O Spirit Divine? Revive us once again! Revive us once again! So that your people may rejoice in Him.
The light around me is so dim. My sin, my heart seems dark within. O Lord of Light, I look to You. My sinful heart You will renew.
Come Holy Spirit! Come Heavenly Dove! And fill our hearts anew. Revive us once again! Revive us once again! So that Your people may rejoice in Him.
Your forgiveness is for those who wait. Your life You gave for sin You hate. O Lord of Light, we look to You. May Your Spirit search our hearts anew?

My eyes were veiled, and I could not see All the love that God had for me.
My heart was hardened to grace so free I did not know it was all for me.
I thought my works were the price I paid Not knowing that the full atonement He had made.
I was struggling for something I could not earn And all the time He helped me learn.
I was paying a debt that I no longer did owe Because to the cross He was willing to go.
Now precious blood has made a way to open my eyes I no longer believe the enemy's lies.
I am free, free as a lovely bird All because I believed and took God at His word.

Our God Who Sits Enthroned Above
Our God who sits enthroned above, And stoops to look on those He loves. We meditate with heaven in mind, Enraptured with wonder outside of time.
O Sovereign God! O Lord Most High! We kneel before Thy holy throne. We cry, Abba, Father! We adore Thee!
Our prayers are weak, Your Spirit so strong. You help us to have a heavenly song. The river, that flows down from Your throne, Is the Spirit of Wonder Who makes You known.
We drink of the water of Your Spirit Divine. He’s come from heaven enlightening our minds. So we can know of our Fathers heavenly love, And be taken one day to our home above

YOU CHOSE ME
In the secret parts where no one sees You saw my form Not yet created, but in your mind
You loved me as your own You embraced me, although Knowing I would run form you
You accepted me when I resisted you You drew me near as I pushed away Your love for me stayed strong When all I did was grow weak You chose me when I was unaware
I left your way and turned my back I thought I was better on my own My path seemed easier It seemed good to me
No matter where it led No matter where I was You were there at every turn You pursued me when I did not want to be found
You accepted me when I resisted you You drew me near as I pushed away Your love for me stayed strong When all I did was grow weak You chose me when I was unaware
Now I know the love you have for me Your grace is greater than my sin Your mercy wakes me each morning
I call you Father, you call me child I'm covered by the blood that Jesus shed I'm sheltered in your arms forevermore
You accepted me when I resisted you You drew me near as I pushed away Your love for me stayed strong When all I did was grow weak You chose me when I was unaware

---------------------------gray rain --------------------------cold marble ----------------muted ebony -- mist-covered ---------------------------softly quiet
I silently sob -- I inwardly keen I gulp the moist air desperately I forage through the clover in its inimitable wildness, cool against my hot tears.
I find leaves of Three --
---------------Father --------------------------Son ----------------------------------Holy Ghost
---------------Husband --------------------------Wife -----------------------------------Bonded by God
A cord of Three is not easily broken --
----------------------------Yet on a lone-stem New growth genuflects to hope And whispers -that starlight follows sunset ------------and morning follows midnight And Creation never ceases.

God?s Rainbow of Love
The mind is like a rainbow of colors. The thoughts of it go from one to another.
It perceives thoughts one by one, But is blinded to the place from which they come.
Sin is like a storm that rises in the day, To cover its colors and send its thoughts in array.
The soul is in awe of all the minds colors, But sin rumbles in and sends them to another.
Its thoughts held captive to that earth sent angel. The colors all muted its thoughts entangled.
A storm day and night to hide its rays. Is a ploy of Satan to destroy it one day.
The winds of the Spirit blow in from above, To open the rainbow and shine forth Gods love.
A mind with new life is a glorious light. The Spirit of which has ended sins might.
With colors renewed, it?s the minds glorious sight. A sign that the Lord has become its delight.
The throne of God, like the brightest rainbow of colors, Shines down pure thoughts allied to no other.
It?s the mind of Christ, loves purest light. Shines red then white, His heavenly abode, our future flight.
To soar up above past the rainbow of lights, And bow before His throne will be its highest delight.
O Light of the Glorious God, O light of the Eternal one My minds Ruby of Love, Christ Jesus His Son.
Tom
As the acts of the Will, in each step of the aforementioned procedure,
do not come to pass without a particular cause, but every act is owing
to a prevailing inducement; so the accident, as I have called it, or
that which happens in the unsearchable course of things, to which the
mind yields itself, and by which it is guided, is not any thing that
comes to pass without a cause. The mind in determining to be guided by
it, is not determined by something that has no cause; any more than if
it is determined to be guided by a lot, or the casting of a die. For
though the die falling in such a manner be accidental to him that casts
it, yet none will suppose that there is no cause why it falls as it
does. The involuntary changes in the succession of our ideas, though the
cause may not be observed, have as much a cause, as the changeable
motions of the motes that float in the air, or the continual, infinitely
various, successive changes of the unevenness on the surface of the
water. edwards

Unknown God, I cry out to you across this valley that lies between us and the only answer, I hear in return is an echo that sounds so lonely
Well I can't begin to understand this distance between us No I can't begin to understand this distance between us
And oh God I can't seem to find the path that leads to you And now I know I'll never be able...
To climb to the heights of your mountain top It's greatness I've discerned from far, far away Your abode so high above me, Is something that I will never see
Oh God! What is this I see standing in the valley that lies between us? Why its the cross that Jesus died upon there at a place called calvary
Well I can't begin to understand how you could give Your Son for me And I can't begin to understand how willingly He would die for me
But Father, I accept this gift of grace and mercy and now I know, that Jesus will come and take me by the hand
He will take me by the hand....
and lead me to Your mountaintop It's greatness I've discerned from far, far away Your abode, so high above me, will be my home
Your abode, so high above me, will be my home for eternity
These are lyrics to one of my songs, so it doesn't read like a poem exactly, but fits the music.

Bright light of eternal glory shines into depths of mens souls Inward pangs of sins tempest darken the flashes of hope. Yea , all of mankind are a driven in this sea to struggle ,tossed by the waves of fear, Nay, in the tumultuous ocean, glimmering lights can ne'er stay afloat. The wayfaring Dove , calms the fear of the storms tempest Eyes in the distance the horizon of Gods unmeasurable love Heavens consolations shine bright lights into the souls tempest Held beneath the storms tempest, escapes on the wings of the Dove.

My wife
As I gaze into her eyes i am drawn into her world A youthful desire of sweet contemplation
All of my cares get lost in her gaze Quietly i long to remain under her spell
Drawn out of time, lost in her eyes I breathe unending sweet longings

Sweet memories of my wife
Loathing around in time with unfulfilled desires Lost from the world of breath taking sweet calmness
Her looks of innocence long remembered Make my despairs a happy endurance
Lost in her eyes , a spell to endure Sweet longings console this love sick heart

There is gentleness in nature It’s most pronounced at dusk Almost as if the Creator Is bedding us all down Tucking us in And saying 'There is always tomorrow'
There is a mercy in nature Extending into the human heart At daybreak along with the dawn chorus Which speaks of second chances New beginnings Wiped slates
Deep and powerful Indescribably beautiful and humbling Is the language without words

mbG: Kk check out my love poetry
K_k: Really liked that "loathing around", "breath taking sweet calmness", etc.
Bet
you could add something about her sparkling, melting smile that neons
the earth. And i don't even know her. But i know a little about love.
mbG theme-line: "I thought sin and law were my greatest foe, But work for salvation was a greater woe."
BTW, some of the poetry here would make good song material, don' t you think?

Kk .. now your bringing up old
memories... very young at the time... i actually would sit around and
have some musicians with me and wrote the lyrics and the music at the
same time. Worship music...we sung the music in a church. It was when i
was memorizing the very first book of the Psalms. I had them written
down but they got destroyed in the hurricane.
