His Voice, My Hand/Short Poems

ANGELS

Angels hear the word of God - it's true,
And do the work they're asked to do.

So I will do the things God asks,
I will not cower from the tasks.

I'll do it gladly; I'll not be sad.
But can an angel come --
-- from the life I've had ?

BEYOND

No wonder you seem so perplexed,
reading the bible as a book of text.
Let something within you move,
love's not about what you can prove.

To find God in all his glory,
read the bible as a story.

If you want to know where to look,
take your mind beyond the book.

Then surely you may even find,
God's inside you, beyond your mind.

BLISS

"What you want" is your business.
"What you need" is Gods Business.

If what you want equals what you need,
you have achieved true bliss.

CO CREATION

God shares with us a gift so great,
in his awesome power to create.
There is one thing that must be stated,
"Question not the gift -- but what's created."

Creation Of The Devil

In love, God created the Devil.
And it must have been his aim,
that when we did something wrong
we would have someone to blame.

FEELINGS

What good are words
from floors to ceilings
if they're only words
and not the feelings ?

Gone

I won't I lament, "I can't go back,
For surely that must be a sin.
When I consider all those I know
that have never been.

IT's Free

There are those that are so bold
to suggest salvation can be sold.
Don't listen to them - be smart.
Find salvation in your heart.
Won't you please listen to me.
Everything of God is free.

KNOWLEDGE

Don't tell me all the things you know.
For that event, I will not show.
But I will listen with great zeal
to words that tell me how you feel.

MAGIC EYE

Suddenly you see the picture hidden
that, until now, was forbidden.

The magic found within the frame
that, with your eyes, plays this game.

When you've seen what, beyond the surface lies,
Never, never refocus your eyes.

SATISFIED

I am very satisfied with me
and everything of life I see.
I am a living child of creation.
Tell this story to every nation.

From this life I shall not flee,
for I am satisfied with me.
If I cannot love me true ?
can there be love from me to you.

SAVIOR

Oh! The wild ideas you can sell
to those convinced there is a hell.
All the ideas people have bought
Just because, of that, one thought.

You may stay in hell eternal,
while waiting for a savior external.
Listen to the quiet in all the din,
The savior you crave, resides within.

SCAR

In those moments that I forget what's real,
I feel a pain but I soon heal.
I remember I'm a child of creation
and all the world is my relation.

But what I find leaves a scar,
Is not remembering who you are.

THEY

This message is personal, just for you.
Mind not what others may do.

At times Christians should apologize,
but no more than the other guys.

In my grace you will stay,
But only if you never say,
" But what if they ."

TOOLS

Listen to the words you hear,
always play your life by ear.

I've given you all the tools,
don't trade them for a book of rules.

WAR

Show me a father that wouldn't take the grave
in place of his child -- their life to save.

But when it's time to settle a score,
It's always the children that go to war.
