The Light of Sainthood

Love your neighbor; abstain from hate

For all those that persecute you - pray
Give of yourself; lend a helping a hand
It may be hard to do, but, yes you can

Don't be led into quiet deception

Let no one place you in a shell
Do not lock up your faithfulness
A heart and soul in living hell

Children of the Father in heaven

His sun rises on the evil and good
Walk in the light of the living
Transforming sinner to sainthood

Be perfect, as the Father is perfect

His Son rose for the evil and good
All are chosen to be among the elect
Transformed into the light of sainthood

 

Eternal Revelation

Holy Spirit, rain down upon your people

Graces and mercy from heaven above
For, we your children, wander endlessly
Searching for peace; seeking true love

In Jerusalem, there was a man, Simeon

Blessed with a Spirit filled revelation
That he would not enter eternal rest
Until his eyes beheld God's beloved Son

We keep searching; endlessly seeking

Our eyes grow tired; our hearts cold
Failing to see the revelation before us
Seen though faithful eyes centuries old

Holy Spirit, rain down upon your people

The light of life, to witness our salvation
That we may live peace; rejoice in love
The Divine, eternal revelation; God's Son

 

Source of Lasting Truth

How do I put aside my anger and forgive

Keep from condemning and judging too
How can I plead for your loving mercy
When I show no mercy; turn from truth

Though, I count my gifts and blessings

I lack the charity of the child you knew
How can I reopen the chest of treasure
Buried long ago when I turned from you

Mercy from generation to generation

Seat of wisdom and the light of truth
With a humble heart, and anticipation
I place my faith, hope and trust in you

Only you can heal me from hidden anger

Help me to look within and seek out truth
Guide me to rediscover the lost treasure
A measure of goodness only found in you

This is the time for mercy and forgiveness

Return to the loving nature of my youth
Put aside all judgmental condemnation
Pursue Love, the source of lasting truth

 

A Taste of Salvation

 

Up on the mountain with Jesus to pray

Peter, James and John along the way
A glorified face; clothes dazzling white
Up on the mountain in heaven's light

Awakened from sleep struck with awe

Amazed by the vision that they saw
Moses and Elijah with Jesus in sight
Up on the mountain in heaven's light

Their witness overshadowed by a cloud

Then a voice came out speaking aloud
This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him
Up on the mountain; the Father's might

The cloud passed and Jesus stood alone

Standing in silence the vision was gone
Speaking to no one of the transfiguration
Up on the mountain a taste of salvation

Lead Me, Lord

I was on a one way road

Going in the wrong direction
Moving fast; out of control
Caught the fast lane infection

I was out of my comfort zone

The end; face to face with me
I realized the way I was going
A needed a miracle to be freed

I called out to you to save me

I realized I've never been alone
The dead end that I was facing
In a blink of an eye - was gone

You took control of my senses

Led me from where I strayed
Not really sure but my guess is
You heard every word I prayed

Now I am out of the fast lane

Where the pace of life is slow
No longer play life as a game
Where you lead me, Lord, I go

 

Bag of Deception

Led by the Spirit; strengthened by the Spirit of Love

Lurking, evil patiently waits; tempting us to slip up

When we are hungry, we seek out Spirit filled bread

The devil offers us up a plate of emptiness instead

One day will be together in the mansions of heaven

If we resist in this place, the false promises given

We are to worship our God, and must serve Him only

Fight the good fight; resist the evil liar and phony

 

The truth will be found if we keep pushing onward

Turn away from the delights of the hidden coward

The Spirit will send to us faith filled love infusions

Only darkness will be found inside faceless illusions

Led by the Spirit; strengthened by the Spirit of Love

Take a leap towards the blessings given from above

The Lord will send his angels to you for protection

Evil will flee from your midst with his bag of deception

 

Life And Time

Lord, this is a time to begin; a time to let you in

Time to answer your call; time to call upon you
For every time there is a season; a new beginning
Time for: praying, listening, hoping, and believing

Seek out the kingdom; embrace the power of love

Let go of every vice and burden weighing us down
Allow the Spirit of Truth to work miracles in our lives
Time to flee the darkness; be enveloped by the light

Lord, this is a time to win; a time to conquer sin

Time to cast doubt away; time to live lives of faith

This is a time of grace; time to sing songs of praise

Time to understand; "Life" is in the palm of your hand
