Peace & Poetry
Seek peace and pursue it… Psalm 34:14
Peace & lonely
My friends have all gone; Those which said they’d never part. Perhaps they’d forgotten? Or planned it from the start? The walk of faith is sacrifice. Consider the costs. Everything is temporary; I count it all loss. How can I complain That I’ve been rejected? Christ was betrayed by a brother; An evil foreknown and unexpected. And so was He persecuted. Then why me any less? Only that my heart be strengthened That I faint not in this test. Be happy and rejoice, my soul, For suffering is not without reward. Let your patience be established, And your faith be greater than before. How great it is, and wonderful That I am never alone. Even in this isolation, And when all have gone. I can handle being alone; It’s not too great for me. So long as I have You, And Your Spirit to dwell with me.
A supplication
It’s easy to get caught; Consumed with vain cares, Distracted by pleasures; Drawn away by the world’s affairs. Father, grant unto me the faith, the strength and the power, To seek out Your truths diligently, And not grow weary in this hour. Let not my hope fall, Neither my countenance decline, But fill me with Your oil, That my lamp may shine. Let my mind be alert, And my spirit stay awake. Search out my heart; Reveal what I must forsake. That which I now reap, Is that which I’ve then sown. And that which I feel now, Is that Your chastening may be known. I’m often tempted to quit, But where then should I go? Whether in joy or in suffering, Your Word is the only way I know.
It’s no hard thing
My heart, it laughs, My soul, it sings. To fill one with joy, It’s no hard thing. My bread, You provide, I lack no good thing. To make one rich, It’s no hard thing. My body, You clothe, And supply my needs. To array one in glory, It’s no hard thing. My world, You create, And all that’s seen. To remove all corruption, It’s no hard thing. My life, You give, And the air I breath. To make me holy, It’s no hard thing.
Passing Pain
Hear the thoughts of my heart
And the voice of my tears,
Those tears I would cry
If only I could feel.
I need not be led of emotion,
Yet my heart is ruffled with commotion;
The commotion of the notion
That I should feel more;
More of You when I seek that door
That opens to Life.
Life that ends the strife within;
Free from guilt, free from sin.
And I know from within it begins;
Begins the change in my mind
Which may seem strange to others.
I’m not deranged but sure
That this work You began
You’ll complete by Your Hand,
And I shall be made pure.
O that I might endure!
And though it’s hard to feel
I still believe
This empty pain is temporary.
What I know, but can’t see,
Will verily be.
This truth will I keep
As I praise and seek
Until my souls meets Your glory.
The Promise
Often I must pause And it’s not without cause To consider the truth I’ve heard since my youth God in the flesh Gave life afresh Those whom He sealed Are made whole and healed All who believe Shall surely receive. They shall lack no things And their hearts will sing Not all, but some Find the glory to come Only them that are meek With hearts willing to seek Will truly come to know The Word spoken long ago Let this Hope fill our minds For in wisdom, are great finds Faint not in the way But have faith day by day Forget not our Help from high As temptation comes to try When times get hard God’s truth shall guard And by His mighty hand Shall we reach the Promise Land.
Voici l’ordre
C’est par sa volonté
Que le soleil était crée
Il le fait éclaire
Au-dessus de la mer
Il fait grandir les forêts
Comme une maison pour les bêtes
Pour les oiseaux qui vole
Les vents leur boussole
Voici les petites créatures
Qui bourdonnent autour les fleurs
Même le sol de la terre
Il agit sans erreur
Qui est-ce que peut dit
Que Dieu n’est pas ici
Il soutient toute sa création
Et il protège ses enfants
Dans leurs cœurs son Esprit est au fond
Et la même remplis le monde
Ils deviennent comme leur Frère
Qui est la seule réponse à leurs prières
What’s Your Wager?
What doth a man wager? Or what will he sacrifice, To walk humbly with God That he might gain life? Count the costs, The Scriptures have told. Consider of value; The price of your soul. What does it profit, Living in pleasure, When God, in His judgement, Shall render wrath by measure? What is the value Of material wealth If it brings to Sheol One’s spiritual health? What is the purpose Of chasing prestige To look good in the eyes Of liars and thieves? God is not mocked, So let us fear And straighten our paths As recompense draws near. Let every sinner Forsake his ways And seek Yahusha, The Ancient of Days. Bow your heart Unto His name. Draw nigh to Him, And He’ll do the same. Be not deceived, Thinking there’s time to spare. Lest that dreadful day Catch you unaware. Be not slothful In what you must do. Seek peace; love your neighbor, Just as Yah has loved you.
An Entreaty
An Entreaty
Praise the God of Israel who gives knowledge according to His mercy,
And who works marvelous works among, and through, as many of those as would humble themselves and trust in His name.
I will say of Yahuah, He is my refuge and my everlasting hope.
May all things bless His name continually.
May all of creation rejoice in His majesty.
For You, O God, turn away the heaviness of the oppressed,
That in You they may find their peace.
You lead them out of danger all those who seek Your wisdom, and by Your judgement the wicked are ensnared in their own unrighteousness.
You deliver the righteous from all His enemies.
Let no man say, Why doth the righteous die before their time?
Understand ye not that their departing only seems like misery and destruction to them which are perishing, but they are in everlasting peace.
For the ungodly, it is not so.
Yea, the wicked have reason to fear for they know within themselves the torments which await them though they confess it not.
For it is written, Every knee shall bow and confess Yahusha, the Son of God.
Let us then be earnest in our faith in Christ, and steadfast in doing good,
That after being tried by fire, our works may stand.
Put aside the vanities of this world and seek with meekness that which is to come, not being slack in prayer but always rendering thanks unto God.
May His grace keep you and your hearts be filled with His peace.
Amen.
Passed Emancipation
Passed Emancipation
Praise the God of heavens
For He has made me free,
And delivered my mind
From the peg of slavery.
Now may I walk aright
As I was created to be
Without fear of my captors
Being displeased with me.
For long have they known
The power in our blood,
And used brutal oppression
Until none understood.
They gauged our eyes
Lest any should read,
And come to discover
Our concealed identity.
Their hearts are troubled
That our people awake.
As the truth spreads
Nations tremble and shake.
The earth is groaning!
Let all Israel take heed,
And return to the Instruction
Given by our ELOHIYM.
Let not His coming catch you
As a thief in the night,
But seek diligently in prayer,
Walking by faith, not by sight.
Who has known?
Who has known?
Who has known God,
And walked in His ways?
Do they all seek tradition;
Have they all gone astray?
They observe seasons,
And deck their trees,
Yet have forgotten His Sabbaths,
And His holy jubilees.
Passage of time
Doth make man bold
Established in pride
After the ways of old.
Doth any consider
Their proper place?
When they rebel against Him,
And bring to nought His grace?
Envy not the wicked,
For in time you’ll see
How they heap up destruction,
And judgement without mercy.
Rejoice not in this,
Lest you suffer their fate
But conduct yourself with fear
Not forsaking to fast and pray.
Remember God’s word
And endure until the end,
That when we shall see Him,
He will call us a friend.
