Heralds this Season,
Renewing our Hope

Poem: Morning Coffee
Morning coffee percolates
beneath my weary eyelids,
as my flesh angrily screams
for its daily stimulant;
scents of French Vanilla
permeate and freshen
the staleness of my kitchen.
Evaluations of the new day
will have to wait until my cup
has been completely emptied…

Captivated By The Light
My inner desire is to be...
Free from the continuing burden
of my soul's carnality.
For I wish to be liberated
from the snares of sin's grip
and be forever emancipated.
Truly, I'm captivated by The Light
that shines eternally into my spirit
and erases my heart's love of Earthly delights.
Fulfillment of my life's emptiness
is only met by a spiritual purpose
with God's call to His Holiness.

Lord, You Are
Lord, You are my strength,
whenever I’m completely weak.
You are the spiritual delight
in Whom I only seek.
Lord, You are my morning light
that’s shining above the mountain peaks.
You are my hungering desire –
For each day of every week.
Lord, You are my vigilant Father
over earthly trials through which I eke.
Please keep me mindful of Your Word,
so my attitude remains... humble and meek.

Christmas II (An Acrostic)
Christ is my Lord and Savior –
Holy is His precious name;
Redemption He brings to everyone, for He is…
Immanuel – which means “God is with us”.
Salvation is Jehovah’s greatest gift, for Christ overcame
The tomb of Death’s grave.
Mankind needs to accept this present, for Christ
Always desires to clothe us in His righteousness.
Sinners and Saints, rejoice in Him, this holiday season!

Christmas (An Acrostic)
Christ is still this season's reason of Hope;
Harps of angels tinkle with celebration -
Risen is our Savior, who is still
Interceding on everyone's behalf.
Satan is defeated, now and forever more.
Today is a gift, for it's always present;
Make room in your heart to share Love
And let the Joy of the Lord flow freely.
Saints, sinners arise... and be glad in Him!

Petitions to God
God does answer prayer
as many people have heard,
but His only obligation is
to honor His own Word.
He is always around
for requests of Salvation's Call;
His desire is to assist all lives
that have spiritually stalled.
He willingly meets our needs
and not necessarily our wants;
for asking in ignorance
doesn't sanction unmerited warrants.
Read and devour His Word;
hide His Principles in your heart,
so that your petitions to God are met
from the knowledge He imparts.

Drawn To You
The softness of your quiet voice
penetrates my spirit with utmost clarity –
For being drawn to you
comes more than naturally.
The constant woes of earthly cares
lack all meaning and worth
when I’m consumed by Your presence
and experience my spiritual rebirth.
Despite the magnificent beauty
of this planet’s garden fields,
I would willingly exchange it
for the brilliance that Heaven yields.
Since I’m captivated by The Light,
being drawn to You, is the sweetest of delights.

And Yet His Hand.
Despite the trials of this earthly world
and the continued foolishness of men,
God wants His Principles completely unfurled –
For He loves His Children, while hating sin.
His anger is not turned away
and yet His Hand is outstretched still.
Our Salvation awaits its appointed day
with the meshing of our spirits to His Will.
As long as we continue to breathe,
there’s Hope for us to loving cleave;
He’s promised that His Spirit will never leave –
So open your heart now… and simply believe.

Poem: By His Grace
By His grace, we are wonderfully saved;
know that we shall live… beyond the grave.
Through Salvation's gift, our sins are waived
and upon His palms, our names are engraved.
Faith doesn't spring from human nature,
nor is it something that we can nurture.
In His efficacious grace, we can be sure -
for Truth is borne out, within the Scriptures.
Author Notes:
Loosely based on:
