Beyond The Sky
One glorious day
In the land
Above the galaxies
We will see
Our precious savior
He will wipe away our tears
And crown us with
His Beauty
And joy
This life can be painful
This life can be difficult
But we are on a journey
To our glorious inheritance
In heaven
One glorious day
One sweet day
We will see our savior
And dance with Him
With rapturous ecstasy
And joy
Rejoice!
O’ precious ones
Rejoice!
For our home
Is beyond
The sky!

Heartbeat
You lifted me up
Like a little child
And gently pressed my ear
Against your solid chest
To hear your glorious heart beat.
I heard sweet tunes
And glorious melodies.
Then I heard the rumbling of a voice
Like many waters proceeding
From the gentle thud of your heartbeat,
Saying,
I love man so much
But man does not know the depth
And richness of my love.
In love I died for man
And in love I am patiently waiting
For man with my arms wide open.
Sons of men, come to me,
celebrate my love for you,
Because you will
Never find another love
Like me – Jesus Christ.

The Light Of Heaven
When it seams
Like all hope is gone
And mercy is absent
And denied
When favour and blessings
Look unattainable
And life seams bleak
And dark
That is the time to
Offer our knees in prayer
And cry out for help
It is not the time
To give in to depression
Hopelessness and despair
Rather it is the time
To cling to faith in
The blood of Jesus
And activate power
By prayer, praise and thanksgiving
It is the time to spend long
Hours in God’s presence
And wait upon Him
Until the light of heaven
Shows up
Praise God
For the gift of prayer!

When I Was A Child
When I was a child
I used to believe
In the goodness
Of humanity
And man.
I thought everyone
Was like me
Loving good
And hating evil
With a passion.
Then, along the way
as I grew up
I noticed that man was perverted – even kids
As they ganged up
And bullied the innocent.
I noticed that some kids
Derived pleasure in
Hurting their peers.
I used to believe
In purity
Until I saw wickedness
All around me
And men exploited each other
For ungodly gains
And pleasure.
They tore each other apart
Feeding on one another
Like voracious animals.
Then one hot afternoon
In July, I stared into the
Blazing sun and I said to myself
Surely,
‘Some men are wild animals in
Human skin?’
Then I decided to transform
Into the greatest beast of all
To destroy all my attackers
And erase the wicked.
Then I heard a soft gentle voice
Speak softly into my soul
‘Don’t do it my child,
You were created good
And pure,
And your good heart
Has been a snare to you.
However, you must remain
Pure and good
Leave judgement and revenge to me
Because,
I am the destroyer
Of the wicked.’
Then I resolved firmly within me
To keep believing in goodness
And purity
And never give up
Because there is
A God in Heaven
Who is the judge
Of all mankind.
He is also a rewarder
Of those who diligently seek Him.

Heaven’s Gate
A gentle pat on my left leg
And I wake up
To behold a mighty Angel
In my room.
He smiled,
And I smiled back.
Immediately I smiled back
I found myself at
Heavens gate
As I walk though the city,
I loose every memory of pain,
Heartbreak and disappointment.
The Lord Himself walks
Towards me,
In a golden garment,
Studded with gemstones,
Shining brighter than the sun.
Resplendent, radiant and overwhelming
In power and beauty,
He kisses my right cheek,
And says,
‘I love you.’
And I think to myself,
‘How wonderful the Lord is,
That He expresses love very easily
Without shyness or childishness.
His comfort in love
And words of love
Made Him more attractive
And alluring
As I gaze at Him – My big Daddy,
With beautiful brown, tear filled eyes.
Then I remember my own husband
Who can never say
‘I love you’
But would show me in a million
Ways how much he loves me.
I always wanted to hear
Those precious healing words
But my husband denied me that pleasure
Relief and comfort
Of the mind.
Then I recall that the Holy Spirit
Said to me in the past,
‘A blessed woman is a woman
Who hears I love you everyday.’
He also taught me the importance
Of expressing love
As He constantly says to me,
‘Express your love for me.’
Here I am,
Hand in hand
With my King
Walking on golden streets
Surrounded by His glory
Hearing the one word
I was always denied.
Tears drop down my eyes
As the Lord opens up His
Healing arms
And I rush in
Overwhelmed by a million
Positive emotions and love, joy, peace, consolation and comfort.
I hugged Him never to let go
Muttering ceaselessly into His chest
Intoxicated by His fragrance,
Which smelt like nothing on earth.
‘I love you Lord, I love you Lord,
More than everyone,
And anything
On earth, I will show you my love
By constant obedience and service.
Your will is my will, your pleasure is my pleasure.’
I kept saying this, like a glorious litany rushing
Like golden cascades of love
Out of my quivering lips.
This pleased the Lord greatly.
He holds my face in His hands
Wipes away my tears
Gazing deeply into my adoring tender eyes,
‘I love you my child,
You are a princess,
Don’t ever forget that.’
Then I find myself
Back in my room
Wishing He never let go.

The Great One
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”
We bless Him,
We praise Him,
Because
He is greater than
All our problems.
Our great and mighty God
Is sovereign;
Ruling over all creation.
All things must praise Him,
Because
All Things serve Him
And His purpose.
Because of who He is,
What He has done
On the cross,
And what He can do,
We must constantly
Praise Him.
May all creation
Praise Him.
And may we always
Praise Him.

Your Response To Trials
Trials are a part
Of everyday life.
They come and go
Leaving some wrecked
And damaged.
While some people
Respond positively
To trials
By clinging more to
God and depending
On Him,
Some are left devastated
And completely defeated.
Some even go into despair,
Loosing hope and faith
In God and humanity.
Trials only expose
How vulnerable
We are as humans,
Because no one
Is exempted from trials
It is only wise
For us to determine
That trials will
Not make us bitter.
Rather, we decide
That we will develop
Positive traits even
In the midst of
The trials.
Trials should make
Us develop patience
Perseverance, endurance
Fortitude, hope, faith
Joy, kindness courage.
Trials should make us
Become more hardworking
And energetic, giving us
That I can do attitude
That will make us more
Than conquerors.
Trials should
Ultimately make us
Victorious in Christ,
If our response is positive
And right.
We Will Run
We will run
We will fight
We will endure
Because
The greater one
Lives in us.
He lives in us
To guide us
To protect us
To teach us.
In our Christian race,
He is constantly
Enabling us
And empowering
Us to greater heights.
When we run
We do not
Lose hope
Or get weary
Because the king of glory
Is with us and within us.
