The Lord of Wonders - Matthew 17: 24-27Jesus Christ the incarnate son of God
one with the father in heaven above
while on earth displayed all godliness
showing to all mercy and love
This Christ displayed His power
performing wonders for all to see

casting out demons setting captives free
On one occasion...

to find me enter by the narrow gate
never choose any roads of twists and...

Witchfinder General Matthew HopkinsRode around Essex with murder in mind
With evil followers from town to town
Matthew Hopkins was the worst of his kind
Hunting for witches that he could take down.
Towns people would say that woman's a witch
She'd then be tortured until she confessed
Then hanged until death and thrown...

Hopeless Feelings of MatthewHelpless Feelings of Matthew
Above the black clouds of Matthew,
Angels are singing heavenly melodies,
It is golden there, and winds do not dare
To disturb such tranquility.
They are loving those into their arms,
One by one from this thing unexplained,
Only that it stops the race’s arrogance,
What mattered money or...

So You Also Must Be Ready - Matthew 24: 44This world promises no guarantees
for we know not how long we've got
every breath is a gift from above
till that day when we reach the final spot
When Jesus was here on earth
He clearly made His message known
that one day He'd return to judge
this world in respect...

Matthew HensonNo rift in the unthawing ice
The sled took dark matter over crystals of snow
Here the water's thin bonds sufficed
And the one who led was the one who should know
There was no glory in the game
For him, a southern heart seeking a northern pole
Of stars when...

Smelling sweet flowers

To give us a big smile

Happy Birthday, MatthewToday is a great man’s birthday
I wish he were here to know
That not a day goes ever by
That I don’t love him so
He means, not meant, the world to me
He’ll always be close by

Happy Birthday, I say, with teary...

devastation, you leave behind with your rage
Why do you leave so many homeless with your behavior?
What had we all done to wake your havoc?
The floodgates in the sky have opened.
Like a thief you break-in violating...

MatthewHe forced his way in
'Matthew' they said his name was
He completely blew a hole in our lives
Obliterating out modest homes
Like a deck of cards
life was tumbling before our eyes
Those who tried to stand firm against him
were picked up...

10-22-14: In the Cathedral of St Matthew the ApostleIn the beautiful, grand stillness
Of a place for the transcendent,
Like a lately-faded illness
Seems the ugliness of now,
And I dare not look behind me,
Lest the simpering of the finite,
In the form of unctuous daylight
Beat its hatred on my brow.
The solemnity...

Plea of the 'Bruised Reed'Plea of the 'Bruised Reed'
On my knees; my head low
What to say I don't know
Can not speak yet it seems
though no words my heart screams
But that's the sound you hear
more than a word spoke clear
Each tear rings as stirred chimes
Each one...
