Short Redemptive Poems

Heaven
has no doorbell
Salvation
has no ring
The call redemptive
from inside
Where Angels
— flock to sing

the snail
carrying his yoke
is always at peace

otherwise
it would free itself
of the burden
and go to death

leaving the shell
a protective home
for some other
naked prey:

thus, is redemptive
suffering…...

though we are
beyond yesterday
in our redemptive sojourn
let us remain mindful
of our thoughts...

our thoughts
are what guide us—
love...peace...
unity...liberation...

think on these things
and remember:
free your mind
and you are......

A Redemptive Shroud
By: Miracle Man
1/30/2019

Hospital days elapsed slowly 
As Heavens choir auditioned.

Today, I'm cognizant of the fact
That my time is being amortized,

And that God's redemptive love
Surrounds me like a pall.

Pushing Up Hope

Though we walk wearily
through the valley of death,
the roaring redemptive river
of hope flows
towards us.  Presently
the mammoth mountain
of Sisyphus lies before us.  Yet
God’s giving grace
umbrella us from all the evil
we shall overcome....

What are you, if not yet dead
Living out, beforehand
Its lost forever moment
In its featureless land!

Feel now what, never too late
Through what of its power
Redemptive, fails not , smiled out:
A loving compassion.
Winter in the heart's limbo
As spring-time, sunned upon....

Oh here cometh
So redemptive an hour
Sate in the wind
Which upon us is.

Oh here cometh sweet calmness
After the hurling of the wind.
Come sweet calmness come, so
Singest again the birds.

Hurl passing wind hurl
so hurl - hurl so
This yellow a yoke
With thee to take.

Oh here cometh
So redemptive an hour
Sate in the wind 
Which upon us is....

God is on our side
The kingdoms, power and
Glory belong to Him!
He will cause every redemptive
Blessings to manifest in our lives!
We will not die but
Live to lift Him up!
Lord change anything
In our thinking process
That you want to change! 
It is unbelievable! 
It is inconceivable! 
A new glory wave is renewing
Our minds, as glory fills our homes!...

Born a sinner, baptize me in our love
Cleanse my soul with your sweet words
Each kiss a divine taste from above
In your arms I’ll find salvation 
That is if I’m worth saving
I’m the antithesis of saintly 
But I swear I’m a storm worth braving
Drench me in your holy waters
Show me I can be redeemed
The peace in your embrace
Brings more joy than I had dreamed...

creature of the moment…

creature
of the moment—war
devouring life
spitting out
collateral damage

creature
of the moment—peace
kneeling
in a dried blood
riverbed

creature
of the moment—love 
nauseated
by hate’s
nauseous breath

creature
of the moment—hope 
ripening 
in redemptive fields
of resurrection

creature
of the moment—faith 
arching
perpetually bending
towards justice...

'Get a life'
arrow-words, jarring, ripping the womb
of reality.
and the entrails of possibilities gush forth
to form redemptive streams.

'Get a life'
Drill-bit words, tunnelling iron mountains
like a train given new life, like a train
given new life.
Shouted words
dashed against prior knowledge,
striking a fitting richochet.

The man in the mirror
picks himself up,
dons his courage and begins a new trek
on the trail of time....

I can't understand this settlement I have no idea I'm in completeness seven is the number I've been embraced
Covenant images shown signs all over my face
I am displaced I am favored Shine the Light of Grace
Covenant Redemptive spirit shown shines all over me
I am free I am freed
Such Revelation I've been redeemed
And I am saved by the Blood of the Lamb 
Amen-Amen-Amen

Am I so entitled,
  is it there in my name

Is the water redemptive,
  my salvation proclaimed

Does the Rock Of All Ages
  line my river with stone

Are the words mine by birthright,
  not borrowed or loaned

Is all time but a servant,
  flowing inward to send

A beginning eternal,
  whilst slaying the end

Is my legacy written
  in the current redeemed

As the present rechristens
  —my baptismal name freed

Death

ends

sorrows

God conquers

in heaven’s grace-bliss

awaiting blessed believers*

trusting in the Saviour’s wondrous redemptive merit

along fervent faith that He alone justifies transgressions by His great sacrifice.

*Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

Don’t look horizontally and follow the deceitful ways of the devil,
But look up to the Lord and He will make our path level.

Don’t be taken captive by the ways of the world,
Don’t let fools gold cause you to not see our Priceless Pearl.

Remember that we live in a continue battle for the soul,
It is our faith in Christ that Satan would like us to throw.

Remember that it is God’s power that causes us to stand,
And that we have been set free from the devil, in God’s redemptive plan....
