Listen And You Will Hear
The reason God seems so far from here
Is too few of us let it be His voice we hear.
It is so hard to hear the voice of Someone so great
Above the noise of the prattle and prate.
God speaks to us in so many ways
His Love illuminates all our days.
If you busily go to and fro
You will miss the opportunity for God to know.
For God does not exist at a maddening pace
He occupies a still quiet place.
From here is where you can find
The Love Of God that brings peace of mind.
And if you listen with much intent
You'll hear the message that is Heaven sent...
Earthly Man
Parables is the method Christ chose to teach
For it was not the Earthly man He was seeing to reach.
He knew the souls that were held captive by this Earth
Had not yet understood His message of a new birth.
For to be born again means to live life anew
To let Christ's teachings in and breathe through.
Man's true Spirit must become awaken
Never again by corruption to be shaken.
For in faith there is great dominion
Power to change the most popular opinion.
Through Christ we can come to understand
That we each are liberated in God's plan...
To Move Mountains
Faith is the instrument you must use
If to move mountains you do choose.
The mountains Christ speaks of are not the Earthly kind
They are the ones that originate and exist in man's mind.
Hatred, trepidation, greed, and fear to name a few
Are the impasses that stop Christ's Light from getting through.
You can accumulate these things here on Earth
But non were present at your birth.
We are the person's we choose to be
For we each were born with a will that is free.
If we choose to endeavor on an Earthly plight
We will exclude ourselves from Christ's Light.
What Christ offers us is a new way to see
A chance from this world to set yourself free.
To employ what Christ has given to us
We must provide Him with all our trust.
In trusting in God with your whole heart and soul
Requires much faith in an internal goal.
What Christ offers this world could never give
What He has for us is a new harmonious way to live.
When it is Christ we seek after to find
We must lose all limitations contracted by the mind.
When this happens faith will combine with trust
To produce the world God has provided for us...
God's Aid
May I always seek after what is pleasing to the Lord
Never losing sight of Him as my ultimate reward.
For in this Earthly life there are many attractions
Foolish things that create much distractions.
In this life I am only setting the stage
Having a glimpse of what is the presage.
My future is solely dependent on me
I am free to choose on how I will be.
When faced with decisions that are extremely hard
I've learned to put my faith into the Lord.
For you see this is a choice I have made
To become completely dependent on God's aid...
Much To Ponder
Just as infinitively large the Universe is,
The subatomic is infinitesimally small
So that would put man plumb in the middle of it all.
No matter which way your thoughts tend to go
God has left much room for your understandings to grow.
He created a Universe full of wonder
God does offer us humans much to ponder.
Anything fully examined will direct you to its source
And here is where we will find God as the driving force.
In the full spectrum of the large and small
We will come to find God is behind it all....
Father Knows Best
God exist in Spirit and so do we
Our spirits will endure into Eternity.
Through Love God has manifested everything
All that is created stems forth from His Eternal Spring.
We are all connected to our Dear Lord
Bound and joined by a silver cord.
The silver cord is symbolic, this is true
For it is His Love that we are connected to.
Love is the One thing that will keep us together
For It is the only thing that will last forever.
Without Love chaos will arise
It will produce hatred, dishonor, and lies.
All of which will keep us asunder
Held captive to this world down under.
If we ever hope to rise to God above
We must participate in His kind of Love.
He Loves us one, He Loves us all
We each must intune our Spirits to His call.
God, Our Father, knows that which is for our best
We must offer Him our love, and let Him do the rest...
Dwelling Places
Although only a short time on this Earth Christ did dwell
The impact He had on us only time will tell.
What Christ did was to liberate us from sin
He showed us how to let a new life begin.
He told us we are to forgive and forget
He lived the example we are to set.
He gave all honor and glory to God's Holy Name
He taught us we are to do the exact same.
What Christ brought into this world was change
He showed us our priorities we need to rearrange.
He told us God is to be first in our life
To put aside all foolishness and Earthly strife.
He foretold how we are to serve the Lord
To think of God as life's ultimate reward.
And in the our lifetime only Christ will tell
If it be Heaven or hell in Eternity we dwell...
The Year Of Our Lord
Christ did impact this world in a subtle way
His death is a part of each new day.
For you see whatever the date of today may be
It is always followed by the year and A.D..
A.D., ANNO DOMINI, and AFTER DEATH all speak the same
They tell us it is Christ who we are to proclaim.
Christ did leave His mark on this Earth
It is His cross that is to remind us of His birth.
What Christ gave us no one else could give
He gave us direction on how we are to live.
With faith in our Father, and forgiveness in our heart
He showed us how a new life was to start.
When we have Love for ourselves and neighbors too
We're on the right path of what we are to do.
When Christ's impact is felt by us all
This whole world will be united to Our Father's call...
Special Places
When you need a special place to go
Look for a place where nature is allowed to grow.
From here it is where you can find
A place to rest a troubled mind.
God has provided many such places for us
For He knew this world would be so hard to adjust.
When each new day produces more and more stress.
We must give ourselves the opportunity to rest.
We have to leave the crowds and maddening pace
And seek out a quiet place.
From here we can see the world God has created
And in its truth and beauty become illuminated.
God shares with His people everything He has done
He longs for each of us to be called His son.
From the peace and beauty He has created throughout this land
We should realize we too are a part of His Divine Plan.
Of all things God has caused to physically manifest
He does truly Love man the very best...
Trust In God's Plan
To continue the work Christ came her to do
Requires faith in a God who is true.
To trust and understand in God's plan
Is quite a unique feat for mortal man.
The first thing we are required to perfect
Is that in God's will we connect.
To join in complete service to the Lord
We must release ourselves from all Earthly discord.
This is to be accomplished by an act of free will
And through God's grace He will instill.
He will direct and guide you to
The path He has predestined for you.
For God knew our human nature would stumble and fall
That is why He sent Christ to rescue us all.
In Christ we can release ourselves from sin
And with His grace let a whole new life begin.
A life that receives direction from God above
Is one that is filled with His Eternal Love.
From here we will enlightened enough to see
How we are to share in God's Love throughout Eternity...
