BE AT PEACE WITH LIFE

 

Be at peace with life

Live in the light

For although they

Are out of sight

We are in safe hands

Both day and night

As they walk among us

The Angels of the light

HELL DOES NOT HAVE TO BE

 

Hell does not have to be

A fiery pit of brimstone

Hell is merely

The absence of God

CANDLE OF HIS LIGHT

 

Candle of His light

Cast your goodness

In your steady glow

Across the sinful world

And bath us in love

HOLY UNMERCENARIES

 

Holy unmercenaries

Is an epithet applying to

Christian saints,

Who did not accept

Payment of any kind

For good deeds done

Which is I think the very least

One should expect from a saint

ONE OF THE TWELVE - MATTHEW THE APOSTLE

 

One of the twelve

Matthew the Apostle

Born in Galilee

Was a former publican

Turned tax collector

From Capernaum

Before answering the call

Witness of the ascension

Witness of the resurrection

One of the four Evangelists.

Who then spread the Gospels

Far and wide

Was killed with a spear

In the city of Nadabah

In Ethiopia

I AM IN

 

I am in the soothing warmth

Of a gentle spring day

I am in the sunlight

Glinting on the morning dew

I am in the summer breeze

Stirring a field of ripened corn

I am in the aromatic air

Of a sultry summer night

I am in the autumn wind

Stripping bare the trees

I am the howling tempest

In the teeth of a gale

I am in the bitter sting

Of icy rain and sleet

I am in the silence

Of the softly falling snow

I am the eerie quiet

In the concealing mists

I am the storm and tempest

I am the peace and quiet

I am the green man

I am the green goddess

I am the mother


GODS DEVOTEES

 

You will find in any holy place

Every up turned face

Of the congregation there

With the power of prayer

Can achieve both great and small

With faith and prayer is all

A fellowship on their knees

A family of Gods devotees

I WAS CHRISTIAN

  In bed on their wedding night his wife said, “I must say, before we first met, I was Christian” Her husband said calmly “I don’t care a...
