Good Friday

Nailed to the cross
you all say it was a good Friday
It was not for me
my blood mocked by soldiers
nor was it good for you
you haven't learned
in ten thousand seasons
there is no Lord
only things you do not know
you claim glory
a bankrupt human emotion
I told you no to religion
you made me one
you will kill each other
to say I am love
You are nothing more than a simulation
in my child's bedroom
  You are less than ants
	in the scheme
of the universe
	Orthodox Russians
		Raging genocide
when will you learn?

Premium Member Born Again Christian

Born again Christian, imagine that!? She found Christ at the laundry mat..
He appeared some where between rinse and spin and now he definitely resides with in..
 She no longer drinks. She no longer smokes. She doesn't hang out with unsavory folks.. 
Reading the scripture several times each day, she falls to her knees whenever she prays..
This new found faith she keeps reposed while she sorts thru the whites and her other clothes..
She holds it close, intent to capture and quietly awaits the coming rapture..

Submission

scratch, scratch
strike a match
throw it in
and burn the batch

lies, lies
an orphan cries
loveless words
made to despise

scare, flare
from here to there
likely tale
that goes nowhere

books, cooks
bishops, rooks
games played now
by saints and crooks

lies, flies
a prophet dies
holy writ
as moon star rise

reason, season
almost treason
heralding in
a winter season

lies, lies
death and flies
loveless beast
in light’s disguise

wake, shake
the sleeping snake
light and truth
reveals the fake


Premium Member Vespers

Oh, the Vespers!
The day is coming to a close.
And the Scriptures!
Can words our sins dispose?
And the Evening, 
With my head so lowly bowed.
Those Bible Proverbs.
Will they clear away the cloud?

I've been knocking all night long,
But the Church's door is closed.
I look through a crystal window.
I see the followers reposed.
I knock twice on the door,
Hoping for an invitation.
I only hear voices singing-
Singing "Jesus is Salvation".

I am knocking.
Please let a sinner in.
I knock louder,
And start prayful meditation.
The door opens,
But I see no people there.
Only a Bible on a pulpit
And the message becomes clear.

Premium Member Tell Me, Who Do You Say That I Am

Tell Me, Who Do You Say That I Am            

                     
                      a face in the crowd 
             the one from behind the shroud 
                   now beyond the clouds

Which Doctor

Reciting prayers,
Body splayed across the floor,
Reaching for heaven.

Knees gnarled and bent,
Mouth calloused from oration,
Hands clasped tightly shut.

Passionless faith is,
Just ceaseless recitation,
Magic doomed to fade.


The Great Teacher

He was a man whose tongue held no lies,
For he was the direct descendant of our father in the heavenly skies.
Born to a body of fleshy sin,
Though what laid beneath was unlike the rest of his kin.

Jesus had the utmost grace,
Never being wavered by evils face.
He was wise beyond any years,
Performing miracles that would bring crowds to tears.

A beacon of light on top of a starless mountain,
Where words of wisdom poured out of him as if there ran a cosmic fountain.
His eyes pierced through you with a single glance,
Leaving even the most hardened individuals in quite the trance.

The holy spirit so ever majestically flowed inside this man,
Naturally people caught notice and became a fan.
Students began showing up from every mold,
When they heard his words their hearts were sold.

Wicked men put a price on Jesus's head,
He was wanted alive or dead.
Despite this he and his disciples continued their teachings,
Where on occasion they endured terrible beatings.

One of the twelve apostles turned to black,
No longer having Jesus's back.
Judas Iscariot had done Satan's bidding,
And it is in hell where he now is sitting.

Jesus died on the cross to pay for our shortcoming,
However don't be saddened for if you believe in him you will see him at your homecoming.
There he sits at the right hand of God's throne,
Being the voice of truth and love that we all have known.

Premium Member God's House

The sanctuary is alive
With feelings light
Divine and bright as the
Dawn with its lemon
Sunshine smiling

Heaven must be alive
With feelings soft
Caressing hearts with bliss
Brilliant joy falling all around 
Like a summer rain

Church is surely alive
With feelings inside 
Whispering prayers and praise 
Through silence singing
Sweetly, a breath 

Sunday feels alive
With grace and blessings 
Sensations so fulfilling
I know my heart is healing
Through grace so thrilling

God gives us the day
To honor our Creator
To give back some time
Praising Him for the many
Blessings He reigns down

God is alive
In my heart, He does thrive
I know I won’t survive
Unless I strive
To be alive, like Him

He is my light
I praise Him day and night
I give Him my life
To alter as He sees need
To bring me everlasting peace





Hebrews 10:25
King James Version
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Church Or Hell

church house of God
hell house of Satan
which one would you visit?

The Sabbath Day

Day of Sweet repose
It is I you chose
To catch verily
oh so merrily
A glimpse of glory
To tell of you a story
How privileged I must be
That you have chosen me
So bless the lord
For revealing in His word
Your inexpressible beauty
That carries His children to unity
Bless the Lord, oh my soul
For after my troubles into you I roll
And you bask me in your enormity
Preparing my heart for eternity
To set apart time for my heavenly Father
To spend time with every sister and brother

Premium Member Church Called Apostolic

Father Christ called apostles
Be His collaborators
They were His eye witnesses
Apostles are priests and teachers

Holds fast their tradition
Governed by their successors
Successor was first pope, St. Peter
To now 2013, Pope Francis,

The Truth Remains

When the darkness dies
with every morning sunrise
always the truth remains

When the murky skies
of deception and lies
are made clear by winds of levity

Then all the smoggy hate dissipates,
and every foul injustice abates,
but the truth will still remain

O marvelous light
O wondrous wind,
cleanse the earth with truth
as always, as often

When the rain begins
to wash away the mire of sin,
only the truth shall remain

When the fire mountain awakes
to burn away all hardened hearts,
the igneous Rock of truth remains

O glorious rain
O purifying fire,
cleanse the earth with truth
as often as you desire

Let the tree of Zion take root,
and let her branches spread wide,
everywhere on the face of the earth

Let the sweet truth in her fruit,
and the medicinal truth in her leaves,
be tasted freely by all at the sacred rebirth

An Evil World

It is an evil world we live in, it is darker than you think.
The demons of this lifetime are alive and well just as they 
have been for numerous years.

Blinded by the day's business, good people are often in denial 
and forget that the evil is here.  Though present during the day 
it is magnified at night.

Woe to us to be so engulfed in our own, often difficult lives 
filled with both joys and sorrows, that we don't see the 
spiritual battle over God's children... a battle between God's 
angelic forces and Satan's slick and evil minions.  This entire fact 
is not some sort of fiction but very real.

The demons invade some unaware humans.  Blindness to our 
own vulnerability can often result from our lack of awareness 
and listening to too many lies.

Witchcraft is real and vampires who drink blood and kill are so 
very much alive, their human shell would be just a memory if it 
were up to this world's dark prince, master of this realm.

So whose side are you on? This side of self-awareness, 
choosing the life with God who offers blissful and eternal rewards 
or do you belong to Satan intentionally or unawares?
Do you belong to him as he sucks the life, blood and soul out 
of yours and other human skins?

Make sure the path that you stay on is the one that really 
makes you happy, fulfilled and content.  Because the road is 
wide like a huge open jaw and without God's truth in
your life, the fiery pit is waiting for you.

If you enjoy being the devil's killing fields so that he can 
have his way, then by all means stay with the great liar 
and lover of this evil world... as for me, I always want to live in
God's bright and loving place.

You Are My Saviour

You Are My Saviour

You are my Saviour, my Lord and my Friend
My guide, my Redeemer on whom I depend
You died in the open, nailed to that tree
Battered and bleeding you were crying for me.

How did you know Lord, how did you see
That the gift of your life would set all sinners free
I kneel at your alter, take bread and wine,
In awe of your glory, time after time.

You are my Saviour, my Lord and my Friend,
My guide, my redeemer through to life’s end,
I cry for your suffering and for your pain,
But know if he asked, you would do it again.

Praise to the Farther, and to his Son,
The Holy Spirit, the three in one,
You are my Saviour, my Lord and my Friend
The light of the world, forever Amen.

The Contract

The Contract

For I am the Lord,  you are born into my land.  
For I am the Lord, I'll covenant you and protect 
you with an open mind and soft hand. 
For I  am the shepherd, and you are my lamb. 
If you follow me I will protect you from the sins of man.

For I am your lamb, I praise you with one voice, 
and I raise my hands in glorious honor for you are my father.  
For I am your lamb, 
I will tell your story in great detail and tremendous glory.

For I am your father,
I will show you love and compassion forever, 
for I am your child, 
I promise to follow your commandments to the letter forever..
