Awake O sleeper, rise from your sleep
God shines on you like the morning star
Awake O sleeper, time for you to reap
God says you’re more than who you think you are
You’re His Holy Bride
Called to His side
To forever abide
Free of Religious pride
Knowing Truth in the inward part
God will posses your entire heart
Awake O keeper of your brother’s life
Called by God to bear your brother’s faults
Arise O weeper from this world’s strife
In God’s plan you are the earth’s salt –
Spread His Love around
From you His Love abounds
His Light shines through you
So men may know Truth
Awake! Get out of bed!
Let God’s thoughts now fill your head
Awake! Don’t keep your peace
Shout from the rooftops
Our God Reigns! Supreme!
Rom:13:11
Eph:5:14
Isa:52:7
There is something that we can say
That no religion on earth can claim
Our God Reigns!
Our God Reigns!
Oh our God has chosen to let us
Know Him by His first Name
Our Jesus Reigns!
Our Jesus Reigns!
Our God Reigns! Hallelujah!
Our God Reigns! Only He!
Our God Reigns! And you must
Oh follow and Believe!
Oh our God endured the Cross
Oh He endured the shame
For us our God He suffered
He went through such pain!
Our God Reigns! Hallelujah!
Our God Reigns! Only He!
Our God Reigns! And you must
Oh follow and Believe!
God please open all ears
To hear this sweet refrain –
Our God Reigns!
To You we’ll forever be near
And this fact we will always proclaim -
Our God Reigns!
This blog is my effort to share God's mind and most importantly, heart, as He shares them with me. I make a genuine effort to commune with Him daily and hear from Him. .Some poems are from Him to me, others from me to Him but all revelation shared is, I pray, from the Holy Spirit and not my carnal, soulish opinion. Please comment as you see fit. He is calling us all into His Holy of Holies.....let us all respond to his divine invitation for intimacy with a heart felt YES! SOS 2:11

We often run from the times
when pain fills our eyes
and we try and we try and we try
not to cry
Yet what I’ve found,
strange as it sounds
is that as the tears flow
there’s a cleansing that comes to my soul
So,
Let them go, let them go,
Embrace them to know
Times of sorrow and grief
Can strengthen our belief
That through pain and tears
God, to our heart draws near
“Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted” Mat:5:4
“He was a man of sorrows and well acquainted with grief” Isa:53:3
“Jesus wept” Joh:11:35
My simple, easy to follow, 5 step plan for a successful life –
1. Hear and Obey The Lord
2. Hear and Obey The Lord
3. Hear and Obey The Lord
4. Thank and Praise and Worship The Lord
5. Hear and Obey The Lord
You have my permission to publish and share this plan with anyone you wish. It is the culmination of many years of walking with The Lord. It alone is worth the price of this book, for which you probably paid too little.
We’ve got to be willing to do whatever it takes
To see to it our generation
Awakes, Awakes, Awakes
Shake them, slap them, lay in their path,
Talk with them, walk with them,
DO WHATEVER GOD ASKS
Shout out loud, whisper a prayer
Show every soul that you really do care
Love them awake, do whatever it takes
Don’t waste, don’t waste, don’t waste
Another second – reach them now!
It’s all we live for anyhow
Saving souls, then making them whole –
This is our God-given goal
So
Do not wait until it’s too late
Call this generation to
Awake, Awake, Awake!

You're Different
You’re different – you know you are
You’re not like the rest of the cookies in the jar
You stand out in a crowd
You’re goin’ upstream while they’re all goin’ down
It’s lonely being you - at times it hurts
but you’ll always stand out from those in the world
See, you’re crazy in love with God above
Most days, most times it’s Him you’re thinkin’ of
Narrow is the path you’ve chosen to walk
Wide is the path on which the world’s been caught
So take comfort in the One who comforts you
For the lost to stand a chance you really have to
Stand and not compromise – be a witness to all
That God is real and He really can rescue everyone from the Fall
You’re different from the rest –
Different questions, different answers, different tests
You’re laughin’ when they’re sad
You’re cryin’ when they’re glad
You’re good when they’re bad
You’re livin’ while they’re chaff
And the Wind that blows them all away
Will be the Wind that brings you home to stay
Welcome Home! Faithful one, welcome Home!
Because here, you see, you’re no different than Me!
- Jesus
1 Pet:2:11
Heb:11:13
The whole purpose and destiny of Israel, and therefore of all of us, is to show the world that God “Is Real”

You’re leaving a legacy – know it or not
As you’re passin’ through this world.
It’s either better or it’s worse,
It’s either blessed or it’s cursed,
Nothing’s static, nothing’s standing still.
You leave this world either a little more healed or a little more ill
You have an effect no matter what you do or don’t
You’re leaving a legacy whether you will or won’t
The choices you make, small though they may be
all add up to form a life-times legacy
When you look back from the foot of God’s Judgment throne
Don’t regret your life and say “I wish I had known”
Cause buddy you read it right here in the lines of this poem!
So ultimately aim your life at saving souls
And after they’re in the Kingdom – seek to help them grow
But don’t neglect or forget to save your own
You want Heaven and not Hell to be your lasting home
