Is life a psychological and spiritual mess, a being of dismay and chaos,
Misdirected and confused by those of staunch and unwavering bios,
Might have started on a farm, urban home, corporate office, or a college dorm,
Looking for devotees to accept vague ideologies and philosophies like their own?
They stirred up vast doubt, skepticism, uncertainty, distrust, and questions of all kind,
Than principles that would guide, direct, shepherd, shape, and lead to soundness of mind,
That would bring peace and harmony; a grand way of life that is healthy and whole,
You lost focus; you lost courage; you lost hopefulness; you lost confidence; you lost your soul.
Did you cast your life upon that which is destined to disappoint, miss the mark and fail,
And empty rhetoric your buddies constantly and relentlessly wailed,
Or upon that which is eternally and everlasting faithful and true,
That if you accepted, you would be called a laughingstock, a fool, or thinking askew?
Is your mosaic spiritual conceptions satisfying your deep need way down inside,
Is your soul a graffiti wall or a spiritual guide to be applied,
Is your soul just shattered by confusion and has left you empty and cold,
A splattering of abstract work than one of realism or anything worthy to behold?
When facing a fierce raging storm in your mind and heart while dejected, fearful, and forlorn,
Did you go to philosophy, self-help books, or to one who could still the storm?
Do you know the one who can speak to the tempestuous seas and they obey him?
Ever heard of the one who walked on water and could calm the hearts of troubled men?
Let me introduce you to that one who can do for you what you cannot do for yourself.
Learn of him by reading the scriptures, the Bible, find it on many a shelf.
His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God; He and God the Father of the same mind.
Through faith-obedience in Jesus, end of your search for redemption; seek and you will find.

The Bible is God’s Truth* for me in my servant’s function
Redirecting me against vain goals to pursue after heavenly vision
Restructuring me midst shaky stand to fit godly foundation
Refining my faith by the Lord’s strengthening tests and guiding admonition!
The Bible is God’s Oracle for me along my stewardship-faculties
Replenishing me whenever I’m weakened by varied difficulties
Realigning me toward divine sensibilities
Refurbishing my soul thru the supreme Director’s counsels of priorities!
The Bible is God’s Testimony for me with my obedience-consistency
Referring me to the Saviour’s answers to prayers’ earnestness and urgency
Recharging me against coldness by the fire of Gospel message about His mercy
Renewing my courage by the Spirit Who inspires Christian fervency!
The Bible is God’s Covenant for me toward revival-blessing
Reinvigorating me within the bounds of the Master’s standard and cleansing
Reawakening me for submission that His epistles are expressing
Restoring my hope for Christ’s coming on to eternal praising!
*Psalm 33:4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.

There were many trees in the garden of Eden
The one spoke of the most, was where the apple was eaten
But another tree carried equivalent value, if not more
I'm humbled to tell you, I hadn't heard of it before
The tree of life is the one, I give so much regard
Though the knowledge tree, it seems, in religion, has starred
As Christian's we accept that Eve created sin
Yet fail to grasp the meaning. To fully comprehend
God wants his children pure, with a childlike mind
To live, love and pray and remain knowledgeably blind
Naturally, we learn more and more as we grow
Facts derived from this tree, he doesn't want us to know
Rules of religion and how to make him proud
This is not what he craves, it's following the crowd
He yearns for our love and true companionship
Not our obedience, from fear of the whip
His style is not to pick, prod and poke us
But to reveal who he is and redirect our focus
There is much to be said about this runner up tree
It provides excellent shade from worldly Debris
About the eleventh hour,
Came a strong man of valor,
Who came so meek and mild,
With inner, unending power.
His time was in an age,
When Satan’s forces would rage,
To take down the generation,
Chosen to mark the day.
Along came a beloved child to him,
Paramount in fighting the evil wild,
Who would need a stable root to stem,
And help to shape and save his life.
This man does everything he can,
With so much good to give,
Bringing honor to his family's plan,
Living to serve, and freely forgive.
I am this man, whom walks with God,
Holding His hand, following His plan.
It’s now our time, to affirm our all in all,
By obedience, to His every command.
I forever give all things gratefully,
Back to our Father in Heaven,
Who graciously gives so bountifully,
As the miracle in the bread of life, the leaven.
I would not have this role, were it not for my goodly mother,
Who sacrificed unto no end, to save our family’s soul.
We are eternally blessed by her, like no other,
Because with God’s perfect love, He saves us in whole.

I wait crossly
To get picked up straightaway
I wait optimistically
To step into the murky bowels of my car
I can’t advance…
When you’re dragging me to your feet
I can’t progress…
When you’re motivating me to be incomplete
I wait at ease
To get a ride home
I wait with heaps of crotchetiness
To jam myself into the jumbled car
I can’t drive on…
When you’re creating traffic in my dreams
I can’t carry on as fast
When you’re taking your time on the freeway,
Though your obedience beams
You’re jamming my dreams, sweet dream catcher
You’re liveliness gleams…It’s not what it seems... (2)
It’s certainly not what it seems…
Blame it on my dreams!
You’re just a dream come true…
It’s nothing that popped out of the blue…
It’s not that surprising
If you only knew…
Oh, you don’t have a clue…
This infatuation is positively true!
I can’t move on…I can’t drive on… (2)
I can’t ride on the road to victory…
I can’t burst forth by dashing proudly
Until you hit the brakes and cease from
Jamming my exotic dreams
I can’t travel on… I can’t light up the sky…
I can’t dream on and on and on
I can’t drift on and on
I can’t…I can’t move on
I can’t… I can’t!
Until you inspire me to gleam!
(the whispers grow soundless)
I can’t drive on…
I can’t drive on…
I can’t drive on…
I can't...I can't...
I just can't,
Dear friend...
*silence*

A few times in my lifetime,
I’ve been blessed by the presence of those
whom God has ushered into a common trail.
These wonderful people caused me to search my soul,
challenged my thinking, and caused abeyant,
creative juices to flow; perhaps they came to me out of
obedience to God’s urging. Thanks can never
be considered payment enough; but should
you be one of these, my gift to you
is friendship, undying loyalty, and love,
for lingering with me therein.

I’m not overly impressed with what some say they now
But quiet deeds that come to light impress me so.
Tom
There's a still small voice
telling me I am calling you
Telling me I have a choice
And it's calling me
Yes! and it still calling you
Choices of righteousness abundantly
Representing all of humanity
Judging you, judging me
Telling me I am you
Telling me I have a choice to
Choose 1 or number 2
One is for honor, obedience
Two is for
Choices of righteousness abundantly
Heaven sent
And it's calling me
Yes! still calling me
Yes! still calling you
I'm you, you're me
Choices of righteousness abundantly
I can choose 1 or 2
One is for honor, obedience
Two is for
Choices of righteousness abundantly
