In Bethsada near Galilee
Christ found him saying'Follow me'-
Quickly,Philip sought out a friend,
Inviting him to'come & see'
Thus becoming an apostle-emissary.

There is a God-Man from Galilee
Who totally, passionately loves me
What can I do to love Him too?
Worship, praise, steadily pursue
Let thoughts of Him be in totality

I saw the wind whip up the sea,
I sensed the fear deep in thee,
As we sailed across Galilee-
To the storm I then spoke these words..
Greater comfort..you've never heard.

Only God can defy nature. Like when:

Jesus walked on the Galilee waters
Jesus died and rose from the dead
Jesus was born of the virgin Mary
Jesus ascended into heaven
Jesus returns to earth

Were the Men of Galilee

we started to see
were the men of Galilee
looking towards heaven

they did pray in room
while flowers started to bloom
removing all gloom

Acts: 1: 6-14.

The Window


The light in the window 
Lies further down the road 
A refuge , an escape, a release 
Keyes of blessing and new beginnings
A space to breathe 
To shelter sheep 
With the mighty rock of Galilee

I met a man along the bank,
come back from Galilee

He took my hand and spoke my name,
which he was not privy 

His head was crowned with sunlit fire,
his eyes like mine so blue

And as we looked into the pond,
one face stared back—not two

Dawn,
Radiant
As the light,
Because of Him
Who rose to give life. 
From the dark night, I fear --
To walk in ambiguity;
Tread the path yet alien to me.
But Your light carries eternal truth -
You have gone ahead to Galilee, see!

Don't remember me
when you can't see.
Just have glee
without me.

Can't you see?
The Queen of Black Acid
is in the city of Galilee.
So take my box of rain
and try to ease the pain.

Walking down the valley of statues
in France
you watch the Queen dance
while she is in a trance
and maybe we will forget
and take a second glance....

A creature of immense size, unlike any I'd witnessed prior,
Its teeth were razor-sharp, resembling a saw used for felling trees,
Covered in an abundance of daunting scales,
It resounded with a thunderous roar within the balmy waters of the Sea of Galilee.
What eluded me was capturing it and savoring its delectable flavor.

Strangers to God,
They were,
They gathered by Blue Galilee,
To listen with joy,
The words from the lips,
Of Jesus who sat by the sea,
He gave the weary rest,
He fed the hungry souls,
By the waters of Blue Galilee.
Their spirits were renewed,
They were charged with Godliness,
Their lives  changed,
They were inflated,
With the power to win the world....

JESUS FAILED

Walking on the stormy
sea of galilee, Jesus,
glancing up
at the heavens,
shakes his fists
(at the pelting rain)
ignores his disciples
cries of pain
tires of playing
messiah miracle games.

He fills his pockets
with heavy stones
walks out to sea
alone
and declares loud
and clear
for all to hear:
I am
not to blame
for this lousy weather.

Lured across the world are we,
to setting sun, ancient sea,
privileged ones so carefree
lured to pastures greener?

Wander led the core of me,
to foreign suns Pharisees.
Naiveté fueled, footloose, free,
lured to pastures greener?

Herded child of Galilee
primed-pumped, then set free
fool's gold seeking protégée
lured to pastures greener?

Stop searching, surely, you see
beauty is all around thee....

Casting nets into the sea
On the shores of Galilee
Heard the call to "Follow me"
They left their nets immediately

Simon, known as Peter too
And his brother named Andrew
Sons of Thunder, James and John,
Left Zebedee and quickly joined on

No more were there nets to mend
That life was now at an end
All was dropped right there and then
Jesus declared them fishers of men

There was a Wedding in Cana Galilee
Jesus was there
The Mother of Jesus was there
The Disciples were also invited

The wine ran short
His mother said “They ran out of wine”
Jesus said to her
“Woman, how does your concern affect me?”

My hour has not come
His mother said to the waiters “Do whatever He tells you”
There were six stone water jars there
Fill the jars with water

Draw some and take it to the headwaiter
The water became wine and they were happy...
