spending today playing catch up since the studies are now voice over and I can
listen (all day if I feel like it ).Its nearly like having the public talk inhouse ...oh yea
...anyway starting with sept since thats as far as the WT study editions are online
..as each of us have our own work and that work varies as assigned by Christ and the holy spirit

1Cor:3
10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.
Since our Lord has gifted us in many and various ways , let us use those things to both
Glorify God , Jesus and build each other ...


VALUES
Your heart my Love
worth more than a thousand mines of gold
they could never purchase
the purest standards from times of old
there is such beauty
in songs where justice does prevail
where the stories told
those causes the judges never fail
in whom the welfare
of mankind's oppresions are overcome
and your pursuit of
them can so never be outdone
it is there I rest
in the meditations of your mind
songs of clarity
in which ones destiny has not been blind
and there put you forth
a call that others would you join
and fey despise
those who would virtue to purloin
in whose faultlessness
draws forth the throng and multitude
that we all might see
in us like innocence therein exude
so alas I thought
to reach this is the striving's of the mad
out of grasps reach
to imitate this pattern might be had
but it is your gift
and the power of its spirit we display
wherein are abled
we to walk its path in every way
there we to approach
a mighty throne built of just and true
and learn these statutes
and everyday enact them what we do
where we are drawn
unto a model whose display is without equal
and to pass it on
to others its perfections are the sequel

Exultation

We will sing your praise in the congregations
day unto night even in conflagrations
fire that burns dross to clean and pure
faith like Daniel's where messengers appear

Few can read what is in mind of man
but God before you naked we stand
therefore but what we love be True
for all that's valuable we learned from you

Though alone and afraid you took care of me
showed me all the gifts of eternity
my life I gave for that knowledge alone
whatever happens the truth found it's home

You chased me like Jonah and the whale
where ever I ran I knew you'd prevail
you lift me up when I am cast down
to extol your truth where Jesus wears it's crown

The afflicted and righteous oh God you know
wisdom and understanding to them you show
your goings forth to them are clear
what you've taught to them hold dear

Examine me God for I have sought your face
and away from wrong with love replace
despite course of life I will trust in you
your favor you show and gifts are true

My sins my Lord went over my head
but your forgiveness raised me from the dead
like the passover lamb where Jesus is meat
sheep follow the path of the Good Shepherds feet

You have crowned with glory what the world despised
and with the lowly have housed the wise
the anointed Jesus you made your King
and into his hands given your everything

Your peace oh Jah will last forever
to teach your Kingdom was Jesus endeavor
rule mankind he will with righteous scepter
and from the earth will the wicked sever[/B][/B]

Valley of Decision

Prophesy oh Son of Man
whose garments drenched in blood
make the people understand
they are a brotherhood

I freely gave the land to you
and sent the gentle rain
you stole it from your brother
and struck him down like Cain

You have murdered your own children
raped and beaten your own wife
poisoned land and planet
but expect a verdict of life

I called the earth to witness
I have called unto the sea
they shall expose the bodies in them
and reveal your treachery

They shall give their testimony
and count the blood you've shed
a chalice filled with violence
and with torture you've made dead

You are slow to listen
you have dulled your heart
when calamity calls upon you
recognize it won't depart

I bring your own thoughts upon you
and what you've hidden in your mind
you've disguised your life as virtue
and your works as done in kind

Earths kings have sat in council
there is collusion in their vote
the priests have sat among them
of their plans I've taken note

I am pouring out my judgement
and the chariots of my King
he is dispensing in truth justice
with my decisions earth will ring

Repent you of her actions
repent you of her ways
lay aside all of her deeds
with bloodshed she's filled her days

Oh earth oh earth to you I call
do you think your actions hardly anything at all
you have plundered your brother delighted in his fall
turn around change your ways to you I call

Take care of your children take care of your wife
take care of oppressed ones take care of life
take care for justice take care of your earth
this is your family the dwelling of your birth

Creation

The formation of the earth was your endeavor
a place where love could live forever
when call out you do I will respond
for with your company I have grown fond

I will converse as you have shared your mind
to your requirements that guide be not blind
though I may have very little to say
for to listen is preeminently my way

You are God unto the foundation of the seas
your handiwork has shaped the varied trees
in joy adorned abounding meadows fair
the clothing that as garment our nature wear

With so many colors didst our planet robe
exquisite delights do cover skin of globe
the furthest reaches of our mankind's gaze
can only lift itself in worthy praise

Softly rises the light into caress at dawn
and the winding rivers all do sing your song
from soil God created this home to us belong
and a pivotal decision has it's course sent wrong

Mankind has marred this most beauteous of gift
In rape he does the land and cement to lift
tearing at the surface with sunken pits and mines
for minerals , gems and stones things he thinks that shines

Like a spreading plague upon the land
damaging the forests that are so grand
within our own pollution do we stand
the momentum of destruction by mans hand

The extent of our detriment is unconcealed
What God intends to do he has revealed
the fruit of our own deeds repaid in kind
and the hurtful things we so design

Mankind's damage comes from his love of things
not attending to our garden and the joy it brings
violence upon our land and to each other
massacres our earth and even brother

The collusion of devastation by wealthy men
those who seeks it's changes are put to end
intervention has been handed to earth's King
and very soon he will be changing everything

New Creation

The dance of life spins in ocean
fruitful abundance is life's devotion
the cosmos and earth created for home
prodigious with creatures do it roam

My eyes are filled with such delight
and hearing the bellows of seals at night
forward I look to walking the shore
knowing the pleasures you'll show me more

enchanting are the birds who soar the sky
winged creations who hover and fly
tremble do I before knowledge of you
aware that earth's groaning for something new

Cherish I do the things you have made
may my appreciation for them never fade
life on planet in fathomless parade
innumerous bounty upon us cascade

Published you have within your Word
seeing and hearing habitation has stirred
all that exists in depthless replete
extols the praises where knowledge does seat

You who sits on the circle of the earth
rings in the galaxy in formations birth
you gave our habitation all it's girth
how small oh Jah is our voices worth

Your truth oh Jah do I adore
from starry cosmos to the oceans floor
fiery lakes that dwell in earth
whose movements give our mountains birth

Insight to truth you've richly given
by Jesus word priestly teaching riven
with forgiveness my sins have you buried
and the burdens with them carried

My soul does thirst for you oh Jah
like parched desert without your law
our Lord has taught us how to love
what he taught from throne above

Rings round planets have you hung
whose revolutions does orbit sun
you have demonstrated in every case
reasons why we need to seek your face

You are the answerer of prayer
with insight mankind do you share
those of humble nature will keep his place
when your judgment takes his case

On your footstool here below
your servants do your praises know
from Orion's belt to the milky way
the circuits of cosmos remain and stay

The migrations creatures of earth and sky
upon their courses travel and fly
all creation follows determined path
at mankind's foolishness do you laugh

Though having been cast out of garden
your servants know your loving pardon
reward you will persons of faith
whose hope and love you in them place

The meek and faithful will escape your curse
Jesus purchased them with your own purse
with kindness do your children nurse
the choice to freedom do not coerce

To the children of faith does God call
to release them all from the fall
into the glorious freedom of the Sons of God
to walk the courses that Jesus trod

How wondrous is your height and depth
the one who has given life and breath
exulted will they be in the congregation
as a new creation will take their station

Does not appear what we will be
and gifts you give in eternity
they will serve before your face
having received in lovingkindness grace

Cognition

You are beloved , eclipsing all of men
removing from us errors , and took all us in
you could see beyond soil, which covered all of we
and when we were uncovered , the fruit that we could be

You see beyond the fasades we have constructed
to the deepest core the things we need instructed
there is nothing in the universe hidden from your sight
all things you created from darkness into light

I have found no one , anywhere have I been
your exceeding qualities, transcend those of men
words cannot even, our awe of you convey
your brightness excels. even the suns light in day

We were broken and you came to bind our wounds
your ointment kindness erasing self made tombs
compassion for the oppressed afflicted masses
starving for truth where famine them compasses

Their needs so clear to embrace them are you moved
and hold them close till every tear can be removed
a heart so fine that we should be moved to pray
from something so damaged you should look away

But you reached out to take us by the hand
with your instruction made to help us understand
to imitate the pattern that for us you set
like kindness for others we ourselves must not forget

Water

I watched the raindrops
one by one they fell
they filled an empty hole
till it became a well

every word of yours is dew
like this rain I seek
the hole here large and empty
for a cistern of waters keep

Within I hold these waters
as a gift for you
the life within a garden
cannot without them do

The moisture collects in clouds and wind
their circuits round the earth each day
their routes can now be firmly mapped
its requirements to life portray

The bounties hidden in a desert
you won't ever see in bloom
until the rain its torrents fall
saturates the seeds entombed

Your words are livings waters
they must fall upon the seed
they cannot germinate or grow
they require this moistures deed

Mankind's become a desert place
where scorpions and snakes do dwell
life here is with the cold blooded
from the rainforest they have fell

Comprehensive examples have been left
in all nature and histories show
a better teacher than science books
if we observe what's here to know

The fabric of all of life
holds me like a wadi tell
like an archaeologist
who digs the sands and dell

These nations want gold and silver
but true riches they despise
in the end pursuits of vanity
will **** those who think they're wise

Once again you refreshed my mind
when I thought my well be dry
the waters here clean and clear
not bottled with a lie

Sovereign Lord

The heavens display your splendor oh God
and the earth declares your works
Night unto day it's beauty we laud
and the circuits of Cosmos your skirts

The testimony of your works are sure
and perfection are your laws
the goings forth of your paths are pure
it's considerations do give us pause

To your King you give his hearts desire
and forever his life is to be
for in life he did all you require
and he will rule for eternity

You granted him to build a temple of praise
for the King has trusted in you
you have accorded him length of days
and the earth will give him his due

You have conferred him the crown to life
which more brilliant than purest gold
out of man you have chosen his wife
your promise from days of old

You have set him at your own right hand
because he exalted in truth
among your enemies he took your stand
you did part him to glories booth

Shortly now he will take his throne
and the sword to him you'll give
strike it will our earthly home
and those he knows will live

Judgment and justice to anointed kings
to heal mankind and cleanse their tears
to minister to man of the holy things
and with peace to remove their fears

Every nation of the earth will bow
and all peoples who within exist
only those who love live will allow
and destroy all those who resist

Promise

posting a link again as I had no idea
just how many pieces are done as
free verse style and the free form is
lost with the copy and paste .Sorry
but feel free to poke around if you
love Psalms ...

http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/basetobase/810998/

 

Inspiration

So very many amazing things
beauty of life tugs at heartstrings
the height a man can reach to
and glory when the gifts are true

Submission to the voices call
spectrum of talents given to all
a measure of each within it's presence
remarkable joy in their pleasance

My Lord beneath you I bow
prostrate myself the view me allow
with praise for the knowledge I see
bounteous is the perception that be

Indwelling mankind genius you shower
capacity for splendor that you empower
Voices lifted to you in praise
that endow us grandeur within our days

Articulation of an heavenly song
woven tapestry whose fabric is strong
sculpture divested the works of hands
magnificent music produced in the lands

The filigree of crowns in artifice
in every skill produces things nice
who among us will credit you
that as children copy what you do

With lightening you so us inspire
and draw upon our inner desire
amongst the rocks and stones we gather
searching for life and loves that matter

Like a seamstress who gathers dreams
stitched together in close knit seams
clothing us in royal vesture
a grace given by your gesture

An architect who builds dream homes
music of heart practiced by tones
in gardens where rainbows live
diversity of presents in man you give

Sometimes I look at man and see your face
you build those who recognize your grace
little pieces of joy in such empty space
and so many have lost it's trace

The adversary seeks to leave us dry
to dam the waters from our sky
and parch the land of God's vision
to hold us all in his derision

 

LifeForce

Lifeforce

The wisdom of God is his secrets
the glory of men to seek them out
but until he understands his childhood
he will cloud insight with his doubt

With our faith we can move mountains
overcome every obstacle in our road
can leap like the ibex every cliff side
and reach the gold of the mother lode

You have placed within inspiration
and in our minds to reach for stars
the diversity in planes of learning
until we make them completely ours

I bow before your majestic truths
laws of the cosmos contains no lies
the direction of its course is fixed
its movements to create us wise

Every speck we don't understand
we will seek till its truth divine
our only satisfaction its pursuit
until its completed in our mind

Only you can heal a blind man
or repair the lepers skin
transform hearts made of stone
change a man who he is within

Only your spirit can touch his inside
beyond his flesh and bone
only you can reach beyond ones sight
and heal the parts to us unknown

You have given us a need to learn
until we dig into solid rock
we will analyze every grain of sand
until its secrets we unlock

Like the sun our fires are burning
it drives what we weld in its heat
your energy warms our universe
and all its secrets we do seek

You have paved the road to wisdom
showered its path with justice and love
the power of truth and foresight
will produce the life we vision of

Genesis 1
New International Version (NIV)
The Beginning
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formlessand empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,â€￾ and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good,and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,â€￾ and the darkness he called “night.â€￾ And there was evening, and there was morning —the first day.

Proposal

Oh how the King has loved you
your beauty is rare
and your fealty unsurpassed
let us traverse the garden meadows
in the mountains along the foraged trails
alongside the thickets into the redwood groves

I will call you to my side
there always to be present with me
the bride price was costly , a kings ransom
but I have redeemed you for myself
no others shall have you , I have made you mine
I have loved you with an everlasting love
with the promise I have given you
that your confidence may rest in my word
none in a thousand , one in tens of thousands
but you are beyond price, inestimable your value
have been foreordained to be for me
hand chosen by my own father

Where justice has met compassion
power has betrothed meekness
wisdom has married foresight
and love gives birth to truth
will that these qualities multiply
for these are the virtues
that will be the healing of the nations

All that is mine , my gifts for you
born of a love incomparable
even as my father has given me
I will make your joy full
and grant the desires of your heart
though you have been terrified
you shall rest in my security forever
remain on the watch
for I will show you
the things that yet must come to pass
for I watch over you
will shield you and guide
you into all the truth

amen , come Lord Jesus

Discipline (written 1982)

If only I could have started when young
to control my temper and check my tongue
If My parents had raised me thus
I wouldn't shout and wouldn't cuss
Too if there had been discipline
there wouldn't be the mess I'm in
A spanking here a corner there
teaching me virtue to wear
Some discussion at time of night
to teach me what was wrong and right
So in learning prudent to be
I wouldn't think that life's a spree
So many years I hate to think
I've spent living on the brink
of what is bad and brings us woe
and only now I've begun to know
I have so little capacity
to do good with tenacity
Why my parents did the way
allowing me this far to stray
and is beyond my mind to know
Since young they were some time ago
Because my wayward course is strong
The lessons are hard as well as long
Instructing me just how to be
that goodness doesn't come easily
I supoose the cycles viscious at best
Not even leaving my children some rest
Now to cope with what is I
Gives them their strongest alibi
Condemned with natures duel faces
all my failings and disgraces
Gives to them their best excuses
Life is only but to deuces
Confusing knowledge comes in plenty
perplexing problems before your twenty
So my child says to me
as I bend him on my knee
Not so fair to do this way
with a spanking for my pay
Don't you know that back in time
Adam fathered this family line
I can't help it as you see
born this way I was to be
Yes my child that is true
But strive to learn you need to do
For I endeavor at my best
to make your life one that is blessed
So work hard while you are young
to control your temper and check your tongue
Do not shout and do not cuss
and you shall find by living thus
that doing good comes easily
From bad descisions you'll be free


Proverbs 1-8

 

Hi POP

You have a way with words, sister - always enjoy your poems.

 

Enlargement

I have poured out my heart like water
but only those understanding will see
I have laid the grief of the children
before the King appointed to be

I have studied each fragile connection
and the way that men hurt their own
the shield and the scars sealed deeply
and left too many hearts without home

Slave to traditions and teachings
don't taste don't touch and don't care
Ten thousand things that you shouldn't
of ideological stoning beware

But none can follow examples
of courses they don't understand
but let's flay them alive with blazing
and their lives let's mark with a brand

When learning you to walk upright
when you fell were you beaten and shamed
if just now you are learning to do right
is it just when you fall to be framed

In the gentle stillness
in movement softer than a breeze
pictures of their future
the rest of man at ease

And tender are the Words
that coax the fragile shoots
whose mildness alights
the growth of goodly fruits

Your promises have held me
and voice mine ears carress
in delicate expressions
which avows your loves address

You have drawn us with affection
with persuasions clearly pure
assurances of a truthful pledge
of a love that will endure

In earnest is your bestowal
the announcements of your speech
in readiness to accomplish
to divulge the heart you teach

The essence of your compassion
the ardor of your intent
the center of our being
to its enlargement are we bent

We waded through embankments
and rivers did we ford
sought for the precious things
what is the Truth of Lord

You are the Sun the Moon the Rain
the energy that creates growth
the spirit who supports all Life
and to save it given oath

We will forever turn to you
and happily throw our crown
prostrate in humble gratitude
For the Love within have found

Thank you Wallflower , it was a specific gift I asked for , how to teach and plant seeds
for those attached to me on various sites in a venue they wouldn't be expecting and
shut down the planting with preconceived notions of which "religion" I might be connected
to..and this happened , I enjoy this very much and I believe it has been useful in many
respects as regards to teaching and reinforcing my own faith and cognizant awareness
of just how much God and Christ are caring for our needs ..

 

War and Peace

Well again I will lose the formatting on the original piece
but the word stands intact at least in the transfer


WAR AND PEACE

He comes to shake the foundations of the earth
the work of every hand of man to prove
to punish the unjust and expose sin
and those who hate righteousness he will remove

He has sent the call into all existing lands
that men should seek peace and it pursue
to separate the wheat and tare
and expose the hidden things men do

To close every mouth that speaks a lie
uncover every thought of hatred done
he has freely offered you a life of truth
but will not spare to scourge when they come

For the stories told in time are now fixed
and what is written in its scroll now firmly set
he will open them for his kings to judge
and those who have found mercy their sins forget

Those appointed to be Kings will take their station
they will rule with Christ for a thousand years
subject to the rule of God is every nation
no war will there exist or the inclement of fears

For though the promise seems long in coming
all the signs are made visable by light
raise your eyes oh Israel your God comes judging
and will reward those who have walked in right

Be reconciled in heart to seek the truth
that who you are you come to understand
You are called to love truth and your brother
until the peace of God lives in the land

The trumpets blast call the armies to their war
the winged ones ride the winds of wrath to charge
and poured out is the fury of his chalice
the cup of violence is deep and large

For all governments of man are chains to slavery
their aim to lift themselves and you to rule
but Christ's intent is to lift you from this knavery
that you might not become the fires fuel

So make your peace and seek his mercy now
for when this time arrives will be too late
though undeserved the offer of forgiveness
the price will be too high if delay you wait

sources: all the prophets of Israel great and small
1Cor 6:2 Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!

Archetype

Since we are closer to the passover and memorial of our Lord
and savior I will until then be have psalms regarding him ...

ARCHETYPE
The anointed Jesus comes with the Power of God
and the working of prophecy will he complete
he will trod the habitable beneath his feet
till the nations shall know that Jehovah be laud

All things spoken of him will come to pass
with a shout he will to earth descend
destroy all those who refuse to bend
with scepter of righteousness that will ever last

The bonds of unity are not easily broken
where two or more are gathered he will be there
the bonds of Love wherein we show we care
that you Love one another the command was spoken

In the beginning God made twain one
Jesus left his father to fetch home his bride
to teach her Love of God by example he died
for a twofold cord cannot be easily undone

To present her to the Father without blemish or spot
as gifts for the alter were their lives bought
for Faith Hope and Love and Truth have sought
to be released to freedom wherein slavery were caught

Teach me my Father for there is nothing here
all that we treasure and have come to know
instruction from heaven Jesus taught here below
no belief or rewards of the world hold we dear

By immersion are baptized unto deaths reformations
leaving behind the normal patterns of the nations
the personality of flesh and their occupations
and lifted by Life are formed unto new creations

God has set the archetypes and the example
wherein defection have become penitent for Life
to the Truth are married as examples of wife
filled by his spirit have become Gods Temple

The virgin bride dispenses her husbands teaching
that reformation of character and to Truth believing
unto the spiritual pattern of nature are receiving
so destruction the nations evade she is preaching

So we gaze into the heavens in the night
there your presence felt by heart sight
with awe for the powers that give us light
and discernment the difference wrong from right

The source of living water ...John 7:37-39
New International Version (NIV)
37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.â€￾[a] 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
